THE great movement for the con-
1 servation of the natural resources
of the country, at the present time
exerting salutary influences upon
every important national activity, has
embraced a new field. A safe, sane
and successful method Of conserving
and finding a method of caring for our
ex-presidents is the lates; idea in the
conserving line. A provision in the
constitution of the national conserya-
ton congress is responsible for the
proposal, and serious consideration is
being given It, not by the political
dreamer or theorist, but by the great
public figures of the country.
Bernard n. Baker, retiring presi-
dent of the congress, by virtue of
clause in the constitution, becomes a
member for life of the executive COM
mittee, and will, so long as the con-
crosses are held, continue to give the
benefit Of his counsel and experience
to the president.
The suggestion has been made, and
has already crystallized into an or

Il shall take the credit for the en-.
tire AFFAIR" said Mrs. Ted, with a
sigh OF absolute relief. She leaned
forward in the coupe, and watched
The bridal carriage move leisurely
away from the curb before the church.
Through the open window she caught
glimpse Of Rosamond's head, with
Its yelling OF old rose points, and
orange blossoms for crown. she
hasn't a thousand dollars to her name,
and he thinks she has millions"
Cousin Dexter did not smile. In
the flrst place, he was too well bred
ever to smile at any of Mrs, Ted's
social maneuyers, and another thing,
It did not appear 10 be comic mo-
ment TO him as he listened.
80 Charlton thinks he is getting
an helress?" he queried innocently.
Il have told no untruths," Mrs. Ted
returned, placidly. Il merely suggest
ed things You know the way. She
was my guest, and so was he. And
Il will be splendid for her"
"Why?" Dexters tone was odd.
why? Because he has the for
tune"
80 Charlton has a fortuneH" Dex-
ter merely repeated her words as
though they amused him. and It irri-
tated the lady.
"He is Stephen Charlton, is he not,
Of Nevada? What more do you want
10 know? After the senator, his faith
er, died, he went out West and turned
into a marvel at silver mining and
has reaped fortune. It is q splendid
thing for them both. He said he would
prefer to marry a girl with money, so
she would be happy, and while / don't
pretend TO understand what he meant,
Of course, knew as long as he had
so much It couldn't possibly matter
whether Rosamond had any or not,
and they love each othSr dearly, so
there you are"
Clever cousin mine" laughed Dex-
ter, suddenly, as they drove away
from the gray stone church awaiting
the happy pair"
what do you mean?" Mrs. Ted
demanded quickly.
Nothing at ALL" smiled Dexter.
Rosamond had tossSi his suit over
her lmpertinent, thin, young shoulders
with no regard for his feelings or
bank account whatever, and had chos-
en- Steve Charlton as her prince of
dreams. And Dexter knew the truth
about Charlton
A strange silence had settled over
the happy pair as the train whirled
them out of the Grand Central on
their honeymoon. Mrs Ted had even

enough people to start a well-equipped
expedition. The expedition pitched Its
tents at the foot of Mount Tolmus and
promptly began to dig. The result
has been Unexpectedly satisfactory
Sardis was a new field for the eX
plorer, and 1t was confidently expected
that interesting ruins would be un'
earthed, but nobody thought that in
less than a year the expedition would
uncover one of the largest Greek tenn
pies ever discovered and find the re-
mains of one of the earliest ciViiiza'
tions hid under the sands Of Asia MI
nor. They have, too, statuettes, In
scriptions, and so on, which may en-
able them practically to reconstruct
the age Of gold-glamored Croesus and
the many centuries before and after
him.

Far away in Asia Minor, under the
shadow Of high, sharp hill, two bro
ken columns have stood for centuries,
looking toward little river, alone,
rising from mass of vegetation that
covers the fallen tops Of two or three
of their fellows. They are beautiful
Ionic columns, and they mark all that
is left Of the city of the man whose
name still stands today for wealth in
alculable-Croesus, king Of Lydia,
who ruled in Sardis. The columns
had not been disturbed for many cen
turtles, probably not since the year
II, when suddenly 1t came into the
mind of an American to go and find
their secret. The American was Prof.
H. c. Butler of Princeton university,
the well-known archaeologist and he
had little difficulty in interesting

marvel OF cheapness. In volume
and In extent OF territory covered
there Is nothing 10 be compared with
Il. The reduction In rates since the
days when 25 cents was charged for
a letter from New York to Columbus,
o., does not cease to be a wonder.
The system which for two cents de-
llvers a message IN writing weighing
an ounce from Maine to San Fran
cisco not only but to the Philippines,
or from the southern point OF Florida
10 the northern extremity OF Alaska,
Is q model OF efficiency at the mini
mum of cost When we consider also
the burden OF mails oversee to Ger
tain countries where the foreign rates
are the same with our domestio
chafge. the challenge Is bold that the
world presents no parallel to the
economy and to the achievement,
Europe is compact in population
with distances measured by hundreds
Of miles only. This is especially true
of Great Britain. There penny post
age Is proclaimed as a triumph and
an example Americans forget that
the British penny is the equal In cur
rent value of two cents Of our money.
The cent is often called a penny, but
II is only half n penny and thus the
term Is a misnomer. Our postal rates
ON letters are now just those Of Great
Britain. Penny postage has long pre-
vailed hera rs we'll as there. That
with free rural delivery and with
transmission over the continent and
TO the islands, the earnings are to
cover the expenses, KAY well gratify
officials and citizens.

PARTRIDGE WITH GUINEA

L. P. Sease of Morris Ford has a
flock of IA young guinea about three
months old. Several weeks ago a
full grown partridge joined the flock,
going with them all day and nesting
under the mother hen at night. At
times the guineas come into his Di
azza and the partridge flies on the ban
lister and whistles as the gUineas cry
"Potrack." The partridge is as tame
as the guineas and appears perfectly
happy in it's new life and with ita
gentle associates.

armies of the world, has invaded the
ranks of the United States troops sta

campaign, in which are involved more
than $500 men, has been launched in
an effort to crush 1t out.
The officers admit the seriousness
Of the situation, and declare it to be
the gravest problem they have been

Scotland, a letter relating an unusual
experience. 1t is a well-known fact,
he remarks, that when a sharp body
like needle penetrates the skin 1t is
very difficult to find, and If left long
enough it may wander over the body
and ultimately appear at a most un.
expected place. l never, however,

CURIOUS RELIC IS FOUND.

A curious and interesting specimen
OF the fine work of a famous old
American engraver, A. w. overbaugh,
has just come to light in little Staten

gold dollar in the center Of which, in

At the bottom of the circle Overbaugh
added his name. The engraving was
done on a wager.

QUEER DROWNING SEQUENCE

The story of a most remarkable
string of drowning fatalities comes
from Rome. One evening the two
sons of Captain Partini we're drowned
while bathing in the River Tiber. Cap
tain Partini's nephew, Max, was
drowned at the same spot next day
An expert swimmer who attempted to
save Max was also drowned. A little
later a boy Of seven was drowned al
most at the same place on the river,
thus making five victims within
twelve hours.

The official reports given out state
that the operation was a success. The

evening that the physician diagnosed
his case as one of appendicitis, re-
Quiring immediate operation.
The physicians first diagnosed the
kings illness as catarrh of the stom-

such little seriousness that several

turn TO the palace, where they were
apprised Of the physicians intention
to operate on his majesty.
