Origin Of Commerce.

Commerce-the international traffic
in goods as distinct from domestic traf-
fr-was undoubtedly originated by the
wonderful little people known In his
tory as the Phoenicians. The Yam
KEGS Of antiquity" the Phoenicians,
traded with various peoples long be
fore the other nations had crossed
their respective frontiers. All along
the shores Of the Mediterranean and
up the coast OF the Atlantic as far
north as the British isles their ships
were to be found, leaving their manu-
factures and wonderful dyes and bring
ing back to Tyre tin, wool and such
other articles as paid them TO deal in.
Creating the merchant marine so long
ago that history gives us no account
of it, the Phoenicians and their colo
nists, the Carthaginians, held 1t until
it passed on to Greece and Rome and
later along TO the republics OF modern

NEARING IaE END.
Fate of Railroad Bill Will
Be Soon Known.
REGULARS ARE STILL HOPEFUL
Senate, Busy Today With Speeehmak-
ing, Is Not Expected to Act, but
House Will Take Final Vote.
Aldrich Returns,
REGULARS ARE STILL HOPEFUL

Washington, May 10. - Republican
leaders of the senate are taking
stock" on the railway bill. and they
feel very much encouraged that after
the house has acted on the bill now
pending at that end of the capital that
the senate organization viii be able to
put through measure that will be
acceptable
A conference was held in the room
of Senator Aldrich, who has returned
TO Washington and desired to know
just what program had been made in
his absence in the direction of an
agreement Senator Root was at the
conference and expressed the hope
that a vote might be reached before
May 81. as he expects to leave on that
day for Europe. 1t is significant as to
when the leaders expect TO have a
final vote that Immediately after the
conference Senator Root went to Sen
ator Clay of Georgia and arranged a
pair ON the bill and amendments.
The first vote in the senate will
come on the long and short haul
be defeated, although a careful poll of
the senate developed unexpected Re
publican votes in favor of the amend
ments. At least nineteen Republican
senators will vote for it, and it is said
that the opponents of the amendments
would have to command the votes of
at least eight Democratic senators in
order to defeat the amendment, but
Senator Aldrich is confident that the
amendment will fail.
1t is possible that n vote may be
reached on this amendment even he
fore the return Of Senators Cummins
and Dolliver. who are now absent
campaigning in Iowa. They expect tC
be back on Thursday.
While today is being made day OF
speechmaking in the senate and there
is little or no expectation of vote
being had, there will be much interest
in the proceedings in the house. The
situation is very uncertain there. The
final vote is to be taken today.

How q Clever Mother Can Tempt a

The guardians Of fnicky child
know that mealtime is often more
than a matter OF table setting and
food buying. Theorists say, make a

this is often impossible until the little
one is reduced to sickness.
1t will be found easier to tempt the
fitful appetite rather than to scold or
punish. Delicate children can often be
coaxed into a hearty meal when force
work would mean a scene. Make the
meal playtlme. Serve bread and but

A japanese Custom.

On the anniversary Of japanese
boys birthday his parents present him
with a huge paper fish, made Of a gay
ly painted bag. with hoop Of proper
dimensions forming the mouth. A
string is tied to the hoop, and the fish
is hoisted TO a pole on the roof OF
the house. Then the wind rushing
through causes the fish to swell out to
the proper size and shape and gives II
the appearance Of swimming in the
air. A Japanese boy carefully pre-
serves every fish thus given to him
One can tell by the number OF them
that swim from the same pole how

London, May 10.-Although the late
King Edward VII. will not be buried
until May 90. rulers of nations and
other notables are already arriving for
the imposing obsequies. Among those
who are here are the king and queen

The great city of London yesterday

gray, with a raw wind swapping the
thousands of flags that hung at half
mast for the dead sovereign whose
body lay at rest in buckingham palace.
But as the hour of 8 a. m. approached
there was IA stir throughout the city.
Brilliantly uniformed officers with
showy regiments of troops, including
the famous horse guards, assembled
In Friary court. at St James palace,
where for centuries the English kings
have been publicly proclaimed. IT was
! dazzling and imposing spectacle, and

The body of King Edward will be

palace to Westminster hall, where il
will lie in state for three days, thence
being taken to Windsor for interment
in St Georges chapel.
The casket will be borne on a gun

For the first year and a half Of

He had gained many disciples and at.
