Confucius regarded his own life as
a failure. He spoke against ambition,
yet he coveted high Office, nothing
less than that of political adviser to
some great ruler. A man of the high
est lineage in China, he was yet poor,
and early supported himself by teach
ing. His pupils showed him an extra
ordinary devotion. The pick of the
young men in his native State of Lu
sat at his feet, and it was they who
transmitted his tremendous influence.
But Confucius saw not his immortal
success, but his temporal failure.
Only for few brief years did circum-
stances permit him to exercise his
practical genius for government. He
became first magistrate, then Chief
Criminal Judge In Lu, and, to quote
Professor Legge, "crime ceased"
Confucius, however, became dissatis-
fed with the ruler whom he served, a
weak man who neglected his duty
and gave himself up more and more
to dissipation. So he resigned his
post and banished himself. -Specta-
tor.

Skirt With Pointed Tunic.

Every variation of the tunic skirt is
being worn this season, and here is
one that is graceful in the extreme
while perfectly simple. 1t is adapted
to all the fashionable soft materials,
for they all drape successfully, and IL
can be utilized for one throughout or
for combinations as liked. The triple
box pleat at the back gives the long
lines that are so desirable, and be-
meath the tunic is circular flounce
attached to foundation. In this case
the entire skirt is made from one of
the beautiful new soft silk crepe ma
terials with band of MORE edging
the tunic. Tunics are being extern
sively made from chiffon, jetted nets
and materials Of the sort over skirts
of chiffon or of silk, however, and
again such combinations as crepe with
satin, crepe with velvet and silk with
heavier materials are greatly in
vogue. For the trimming any pretty
banding is appropriate.

Wealth in the Last Fifty Years
Has Been Built Up to SAC. 600.
900, 900,
Viscount Georges a .AveneI, a po1it-
ical economist, who has the unique
gift of making statistics interesting,
has given curious historical lecture
on the wealth of France. His view is
that democracy enriches, instead Of
irSpoverishes, nation, and he GER
tainly proves it as far as France is
concerned.
France to-day is six times richer
than she was under the old monarchy,
and ten times richer than in the Mid
die Ages. Her total fortune amounts
to SAC, 900, as compared with
$4,000, 100000 only recently.
Moreover, her present wealth has
been built up almost solely in the
last fifty years OF the great for
tunes of the eighteenth century.
either in estate or movable property,
almost none survive to-day. In par
ticular, the few large landed estates
of to-day have been all formed DUR
ing the past half century.
This is, Of course, the country
where property is most evenly dis
tributed, and the Viscount gives some
remarkable figures in this connection.
Only 5000 persons in France own
capital yielding $4,000 year
The lecturer also mentioned the
low INV Of o;vi1 eorxanfc ~ xuho,,,
only 1000 draw salaries of $4,000 a
year, which is a small figure COM
pared with the earnings Of men em-
ployed in business; the three mana

dozen similar establishments in Paris.
being paid $4,000 year each.
Present incomes, in spite of the
equalization of property, are far
greater than those of past centuries
Thus, the total annual revenue of the
Crown under Saint Louis never
reached an amount the purchasing
value of which to-day would be $780,
900, and the Queens privy purse was
equivalent only to $4,000 a year.
The conclusion of the lecturers

Then he sprang up the ladder and
passed through the window. Through
the clouds of smoke and flame he
could see that he was on a landing
above the stage. Beyond him an iron
ladder ran down into the interior.
He ran down the steps, near the
flames, which were beginning to play
around it, and began cropping his way
around for the dressing rooms. The
first room was empty, the second was
also, and as he opened the door OF
the third he could see a figure on her
knees before dressing table, her
head buried in her arms. Before
her on the table was photograph.
He recognized 1t in a flash 1t was
a picture of himself which had been
taken at Yale.
"Joan!" he cried.
What, you here?'' she asked In
amazement, forgetting the fire.
He did not heed the remark. sIs
there an asbestos curtain here?" he
asked.
AS she nodded he sprang through
the smoke. In an instant he came
back bearing huge fragment which
he had torn from the drop. He
wrapped it around her and picked
her up in his arms. How he ever
made his way through the flames
was mystery to him. AS if by a
sense OF intuition he found the lad
der and fought hiF way up and over
the window. Vaguely he remem-
bered seeing the face of the hotel
clerk. Then, as he handed him his
precious burden, his, eyes seemed to
whirl and he fell in faint.
When he revived he was at the
hotel. AS he opened his eyes he saw
Joan sitting on the edge of the bed,
He tried to move, but somehow he
could not. He smiled family, and
the girl bent over and kissed him
on the lips.
He reached out and took her hand.
Joan, +" he whispered, how is it that
you were alone in the building to-
night?"
I was at the front when the fire
broke out, she answered; the rest
ran out of the back entrance, the
last, by mistake, shutting the door,

his lips. Joan, why didn't you write

for him. But your career?" he

fore it could be served Mistoh jackson
got himself into further trouble by as
saulting one of jim Denmark S children

officer appeared Jackson made a break
and ran toward Broderick's lake, but
he was not acquainted with the fact
