OPPORTUNITY THAT WAS LOST

Empire Was at Stake.

When the war OF 1912 broke out AS
tor asked President Madison for let
tiers OF marque to equip an armed yes
sci at his own expense TO defend his
Pacific colony, but the appeal was
ignored Had that small favor been
granted, Aston would probably have
maintained himself at Astoria, despite
the apathy or treachery of his British
partners. II there had been man
OF imagination and courage In the
White House in those days--a man
like Roosevelt or like Jefferson-this
reasonable measure of recognition
would have been granted.
II they had been granted, what
would have been the outcome? With
his large resources, his sea base, and
his Russian affiliations. it is extremely
probable that Aston would have shut
out the Hudsons Bay and the North
west companies from all trade west of
the Rocky mountains that contro-
versy with England over the title to
the Oregon region. then including
everything up to the Alaskan line,
which ended in 1916 by the compro.

low the fortyninth parallel. would
have been averted: the present Brit
ish Columbia and Yukon, which were
not valued highly by anybody in those
days, would have been ours by the
peaceable process of occupation and
expansion; and then when California
came into our hands In 1s4S. and
when Russia handed over Alaska to
US in 1867, we should have had an un.
broken coast line from San Diego up
TO Point Barrow, In the Arctic ocean.
In that event, restricted to the east
side OF the Rockies, as she would have

naVor with almond; then whip into it
one pound of white comb honey.

There is a great deal more of art
in framing pictures correctly than
is commonly supposed; the simplest
photograph may be made attractive
by selecting exactly the right frame
for it. or rendered hideous IL a too
ornate or highly colored one is used.
The photograph finished In brown
will look well in the same toned
frame. and il a little tightening is
wished, use the tiniest thread of
gold beading all around close to the
picture. Frames may be square,
with the opening either square or
oval, and where the finish is gray.
use gray wood; to combine the two
would be to spoil the whole effect.
AS a safe rule, use gold frames
where the colors OF the picture are
so kaleidoscope as to make the Sc
lectlng OF any one Impossible. Do
not put a heavy frame on a small
picture and vice versa; the frame
swallows up the picture itself and
become dominant, whereas it should
be subordinate.
Dainty water colors should have
white frames. with the thin thread
of geld to give character, and this
should be always next the picture.

The Rinht Sort Of Wife.

An Atchison man recently refused
a proposal of marriage Il like you"
he said to the girl. but you have too
many friends. There would be too
many at our wedding, for you would
be afraid not to invite them all. and
your many friends wouldn't be salts
fed unless they made fools of us by
playing some kind of crazy pranks on
us when we started On our wedding
journey. You have so many friends
that we would get all kinds of pres
ents that we don't want, and would
be kept poor in future trying to pay
back when the donors get married.
You are nice, and like you, but what

There is a sugges IN of race sui

Gott of the Alexander county schools

complains that, either the number OF
children in the county has decreased

that In every township excepting one

than in 1908, the exception 1ei,g

county seems to argue aea'nst de-
fective enumeration and to Indicate
that the cause m,sc he sought else

is likely as the superintendent seems
to believe that at least one cause is
that many young people become of
age and that their places are not
taken by others as they should be.
The superintendent points out that
every child. from birth to 81 years of
age, means 35 cents to the county
every year from the state school tax.
and he very properly deplores the
financial loss to this county on ac-
count of the decrease in the number
Of children. But the superintendent
does not deign to suggest aremedy and
this must regarded as serious omis-
sion in his report which he ought to
supply at his first opportunity.
