LOVELY LADY HAMILTON.

The story of Amy Lyon, the daugh-
ter of the humble Cheshire villager,
who by her wondrous beauty rose to
a pitch of European renown, is an
astonishing instance of beauty's
power The future Lady Hamilton was
christened Amy, but after trying the
various changes of Amyly, Emyly, and
Emily, finally adopted Emma, and
wishing also a change of surname
christened herself Hart, when at six
teen she came to London as lady's
maid. After an extraordinary career
of vicissitudes she came under the
protection of Charles Greville, who
introduced her to Romney, who was
inspired by her loneliness to paint
from her some of his finest pictures.
She also sat to Reynolds, Hoppner,
and Lawrence, and to numerous art
lists in Italy when at twenty-eight she
had become the wife of the Ambas-
sador at Naples, Sir William Hamil-
ton. There she met Nelson, and there
after her history is entwined with
his own. She was obliged, at fifty, to
flee from her creditors to Calais,
where she died in 1915.

her. She raised herself on her elbow
and looked at him with open atten-

ALSO THERE ARE FANS FAR
AWAY IN JAPAN.

New York Sun,-A recent graduate
of Waseda university has written to
a friend in New York describing the
new baseball fever that prevails in
Japan. He says:
Last Saturday afternoon I went
to see the baseball match between
Wisconsin and my alma mater. Be-
fore the match the latter was defeat
led twice, Notwithstanding Keio had
three victories against the Wisconsin
team. We were extremely mortified
with those previous failures to have
the public opinion that Waseda is in
feriOr to Keio.
"On the way to the ground l met a
professor of Waseda, and asked him:
What do you think about today's
match?' Then he answered me,
smiling: We are sorry that we may
be defeated again by the reason that
our champions do not stand on their
original seats, as Yamawaki excel

and Oh (pitcher) on the first base,
owing to their wounds
yet Waseda was exceedingly ex,
cited, expecting victory, and the
match was closed by 8 to to our
victory Since your team came to
Toxic all papers gave much attention
and wrote one or two columns to

CHAPTER v.

Well, Are you going to stand look
ing at yourself ali night, Seymour, or
are you going to bed?"
1t was a quarter of an hour after
the Latimers left, and papa Melford
having betaken himself to the smok
ing-room for the glass of hot gin and
water which now wound up every
evening of his life, the brother and
sister were alone.
Diana had stretched herself upon
the couch and lay languidly survey
ing Seymour, who stood leaning up
on the mantel-shelf, his dark eyes
fixed upon his reflection in the glass
l am not looking at myself, Diana
No. DO not see my own face there
Not myself, but the future. 1t lies all

Never mind the future. What

With you, Yes. l am always salts

could wish it-perhaps little, leetse

You are wrong, Seymour. My man

For assorted fernal knowledge

Since the family has taken up the

Sister Sue has learned the

Into which The tuneful tomtit and the

She can tell lark or linnet
From d robin in minute,
And at sporting speckled warblers

Brother Charles has learned the

OF the culex stegomyia and the diplo-

He has solved the disposition

And the hop-toads' humble his

He knows the conformation
Of each warty corrugation
Till there's nothing in the hopper line

Chapter vi.

Everybody goes to the Carshal
races. 1t is the one holiday outing in
the year which gentle and simple feel
bound to honor; consequently the
town of Carshal assumes on the day
in question quite festive appear
ance. All the shops are shut except
ing those which supply liquid re-
freshment, which are more than usu-
ally open-the working people put on
their Sunday best, the young folks
from behind the counters don all the
finery they can command, and even
the old ladies at the almshouse by
the turnpike mount new caps and as
sumo an interest in the proceedings.
From the large town which lies five
miles off come streams of shows, and
whirligig, and cocoanut SHES. Even
the noble army of three-card-tri
men and thimble riagers condescend
to send a detachment, thereby confer
ring an honor upon the affair which
almost raises it to the Importance of
one of the great meetings.
Indeed it is almost too wealthy to
be called small one; the cups Of
fered are of great value, and the bet
ting is brisk and heavy. Once horse
that had run at Carshal had subse-
quently become well-known racer,
and this reflected an additional glory
upon the garrison town.

began to collect, and at nine the

Democratic Nominee for Con-

'MON0PoLIES WORK HARM
Large Audience at Long Beach
Cheers DenunCiationS of IIIe-
gal Trusts and MOnopoIieS
'MoNoPoLIES WORK HARM

Lorin A. Handley, Democratic nom
inee for congress from the Seventh
district, was able last night to resume
his speaking campaign after an en-
forced vacation due to throat trouble,
and addressed large audience in the
auditorium at Long Beach. His spe-
cific subject was TRUSTS and Monop-
olies," and he spoke particularly of
the attitude the congressman from Los
Angeles should take regarding trusts.
1.-TWO years ago Senator La Toilette
stood on the floor of the senate" said
Mr.. Handley, land read the names of
some sixty men who controlled the
are ninety million people in this coun-
try, and when sixty men control the
money power, 1t behooves us to inquire
into such marvellous condition. For
the ninety million people must be
either ignorant, thriftless and incom-
petent, or conditions prevail in this
country which give a few men such
tremendous advantage that they have
been enabled to establish on the foun-
dations of American institutions a plu-
tocracy of wealth.
This is no time nor place to enter
into academic discussion of causes and
effects. We know the cause; we feel
the effect. The lordly domination of
big business in this country would put
to shame the tagging power OF many
an imperial court in the ancient world.
This is our national peril; our great
fight for property must not tread down
human rights.
WHEN TRADE IS STIFLED
'I want to make myself clear as to
honest, legitimate business. Our social
organization demands that we encour-
age honest trade; that men invest
their earnings; that they receive a
reasonable profit from real values.
All this is necessary, and not only
should every other encouragement be
given to legitimate enterprise, but it
should have thrown about 1t the pro-
lection of law We have no quarrel
with honesty in any line of life, least
of all in our industrial life.
But whenever artificial means are
employed to stifie trade, initiate prices,
pay dividends on investments that
were never made; in fact, where busi-
ness is removed from a natural and
normal basis and special privileges are
granted to few, then free citizen
ship must demand that the arm of the
law protect the people against growing
greed And this is what our great
trusts have accomplished. The mag
mates of business have manipulated
commerce so that 1t is wholly removed
from normal conditions. This is the
natural result of monopoly This Is
serious charge to lay against any form
of business. but experience has written
it's testimony, and now we find our
business resting upon artificial rela-
tions and our industrial life endan-
gered by a perpetual possibility of
panic. A monopoly Is wrong; it re-
strains trade and works harm to the
public"

Political Agitation

MODESTO, Cal, Oct. "a rousing
welcome was given Theodore A. Bell,
the Democratic nominee for governor,
upon his arrival in Modesto, where he
addressed a large crowd tonight. Fire

Bell spoke for more than an hour and
was frequently interrupted by cheers.
He denounced railroad domination in
politics and promised If elected to free
the state from such influence so far as
it lay in his power.
He said that he virtually was the
pioneer in the anti-railroad political
movement and agitation, and that his
Republican opponent had only recently
enlisted in this fight.
Bell will go to San Francisco to-
morrow and is scheduled to speak at
