Has Felt the Charm Of Paris.

A resident of Washington who trav-
els great deal was commenting, just
a day or so ago on the conditions in
Paris brought about by the greatest
flood since 1915.
Il will wager" said he, chat every
person who has ever been to Paris, If
only for flying trip of day or two,
is reading every line that is being
printed about the French capital just
now. For myself, feel as badly,
when read of the flood and it's raw
ages, as though were in the normal
Paris now. reading of just the same
sort of trouble in Washington, the ma
tional capital, and my own home.
There is charm about the French
capital that to one who has ever been
there is never dissipated. And when
think of the city as last l saw it,
happy, gay, warm. brightly lighted, its
streets thronged, Its shops open and
inyiting, and then compare it with the
picture that forms in my mind now, as
l read the newspaper reports, it makes
me- absolutely unhappy.e If Il were a
woman should weep and be glad of
1t. l am hoping that the permanent
damage will not be as bad as Is an

go back there until every trace of the

ANNA GoULD's MILLIONS SAFE
Prince do saean Turns out to Be an
Expert Misunderstanding with
His Creditors.

Nine. Anna Gould's new husband,
the Prince de Sagan, claims to be an
Agamemnon among financiers, says a
cable dispatch to the Cincinnati; En-
quirer. For" said the prince, ''it
takes a king of finance to hold back
an army of angry creditors, pay off
those unreasonable ones who will not
wait and keep going without infring-
Ing upon my wife's fortune For, be
it understood. do not exceed my al
lowance.'
Since his marriage with Nine. Anna

come, and George Gould has congra tu.
lated him on the result
De Sagan is known to every money
lender in Paris and lived mostly on
credit for 25 years before his mar.
riage. So one may imagine the mag
nitude of his debts and the general
ship required to handle such an army
of creditors.
To get $500 the prince had to sign
for $1,000, and his papers had become
so valueless that one waggish money
lender claims to have bought 1t by
weight When creditor now makes
demand the prince calmly offers to
pay the exact sum received, plus 10
per cent, and not the sum for which
he signed. The usurious creditor
dares not go to court
AS for his own family, its interests
are largely in the hands of the Ger
man emperor, who is a close friend of
the old bedridden Prince de Sagan.
His fathers creditors may futter out
side the ancestral walls, but none
may enter, as the emperor retains
handsome yearly income from the De
sagan estates in silesia for the old
prince, who lives in Paris. And now
Nine. Gould's husband sees the light
for the first time, for when the aged
father dies the Prussian property falls
to his share. 1t is interesting to note
that the princes most reasonable and
beautiful creditor is Nine. Crespin du
Cast, whom every one in Paris society
said he meant to marry.

AND A WORTHY DESCENDANT
Original Ananias Need Not Have Been
Ashamed of This One of His
Many Relatives.

George Nicholson, a Kansas City
manufacturer, was discussing the
100000 life insurance policy that
has attracted so much attention to
him in the insurance world.
You see." said Mr.. Nicholson, with
smile. 1--WE don't live as long here
in Missouri as they do in Montana.

MADEIRA WITH A HISTORY
Secretary BIaine's Good Joke on Rec.
ognized Connoisseur In the Matter
Of Wines.

l cannot refrain from narrating an
incident of that dinner. When Mr..
Blaine went home from the capitol he
told Mrs. Blaine he had invited an
additional number of gentlemen,
among them the secretary of the navy,
George M. Robson, and that she
must be sure to serve some madeira,
as that was the secretary's favorite
wine, to which she replied that there
was not bottle in the house. ''Well,"
he said, send to the grocery and get
some. as we must have It," The speak
er was in his best humor that evening,
and as he looked down the table when
the madeira was being served he saw
the secretary testing it's aroma, where
upon he arrested the conversation OF
the guests by addressing the secre-
tary in voice which attracted general
attention: Robson, hope you will
like that madeira, for 1t has a his.

vent story of how it belonged to a
cask of choice vintage which had
made trip around the world in sail
Ing vessel to temper its quality, and

at the sale of his effects when he left

Blaine, had received from his friend
the commodore few bottles and that
this they were now drinking was the
last of it. Secretary Robson, who
was a great connoisseur of wine,
listened with marked attention, and
responded that he knew from its de-
licious aroma and delicious taste it
must have history, and proceeded to
praise it in extravagant terms. Mr.
Blame never omitted an opportunity
when he found his friend in congenial
company to tell the story on him.

THE TRAINING OF THE CHILD
Surely the Most Important Work That
Men and Women Can Be
Called Upon to Do.

There Is no mother or father among
us who has not at times been appalled,
by our almost utter lack Of equip
ment for the work Of rearing children.
declares a writer in the Detroit News.
1t is by far the most important work
that any Of us can do to rear the men
and women who are to make, or re-
make. or unmake the society Of the
future. Most Of US are slaves Of the
idea that the big Job is to clothe and
feed them and give them the opportu-
mites the schools afford. We would
save them from working with their
hands. and insure them starched
shirts during their lives. But all this
is nothing In comparison with the real
work Of rearing the men and women
Of the future. We delegate to others
their training. moral, intellectual and
religious. We become mere feeders
and clothers Of bodies. and we do this
much for animals.
Children need companionsiiip. and
companionship means more than seq
regation in a home with blood rela-
tives. The closest companionship is
sometimes reserved for kindred souls
of other families. Children need to
be treated with consideration while
they are passing through the most
sensitive period Of their career. You
can never wound man as you can a
child. And It is almost impossible to
influence man as you can a child.
The very life stun Of the future IL In
our hands. and how little we know
