A GLIMPSE OF THE INTIMATE
LIFE OF KINGS.

a faithful photograph Of the sleep
ing room of little King Manuel, as
published in the current Issue of Har-
per's Weekly, overthrows some OF the
Illusions we have had as to the init
mate life Of kings
The camera permits rs TO view the
tumbled boudoiT just as he left 1t
when he made his getaway, about two
jumps ahead of the popular uprising
The royal garments are strewn about
the room Just as If he had drowsily
discarded them after a jOvial evening
at the club. The sword, apparently
was able 10 stand up straight, but his
increased tro,--ers are thrown across
the arm of the ehair with a reckless
abandon which argue that the groom
OF the bedchamber Is purely a fic-
titiOus person His military cape looks
as though the cat had slept on it. The
only evidence of royalty is the indi-
cation that he had an extra pair of
sUspenders-
And yet the imagination of an en-
vious world has pictured even the
common OF garden king with half a
dozen Wallets to relieve him of his
uniform alter a hard days reigning.
There was an assistant to put away
the crown in cotton batting and an
other to take the buttons out of the
royal shirt There was a masseur Of
state and a steward of the hot bath
and a dukes younger brother to hold
the pale lavender Pajamas- The cod
died monarch had nothing to do ex-
cept to close his own eyes, the sar-
toria1 debris was trundled away to be
creased and scented for another hard
days work on the throne.
But this disordered chamber Of the
little Manuel thrusts upon one the
cruel conviction that he had 10 in
dress himself, turn out the light with
his own Amounted hand, and feel his
wa TO bed just like the rest OF
mortals. Thus another cherished fancy
is dispelled.
These intimate details, seen in that
fierce light which beats upon a
throne" reconciles our common hui
manity. to the democratic fashion OF
going to bed undisturbed by the fear
of being walked up by means of artil-
lerv fire

THE DEATH OF MRS. MARY
BAKER g. EDDY.

The death of Mrs. Mary Baker G..
Eddy, the head of the First Church OF
Christ, Scientist, removes from the
world one Of the strongest characters
Of the last half century, but at the
same time a character that will al
ways remain more or less OF mys-
terry.
That Mrs Eddy was possessed OF
Power-whether mental OF spiritual
must be admitted when one contem-
plates the far-reaching and remark
able religious organization which she
built up. What this power was 1t Is
likely viii never oe definitely deter
mined.
Mrs. Eddy VS. not a woman of par
ticUlsTly broad OF strong intellect.
She was not woman Of commanding
personality. Judged from orthodox
standards she possessed no charae-
teristic 10 which could be attributed
the institution which has been created
under her direction But the institu-
ton Is there. 1t stands today-anG
has stood for twenty-five years-a
church with thousands of faithful fol
lowers and with millions of dollars in
property The extent TO which Mrs.
Eddy was responsible for It will al
ways be a question for dispute. The
stability OF its position IN the religious
world can be determined only BY the
future But at her death it cannot be
denied that Mrs Eddy welded a pow
eTful influence over the enormous num-
Der Of highly intelligent, cultured peo-
pie waO comprise her following, and
that her church has become a force
that must be recognized.
The world is specializing today over

people. The new Congress cannot meet

traOrdinary session Will not meet till

1t is a condition which peculiarly en-
eOurages excuses OF partisan zeal and
effort. Inevitably, in such circ,,m-
stances, the party whose retirement Is
slated, Sc far as the House Is con
eOrned, may be expected TO do what
ever Is in its power to embarrass the
new House soon TO come INTO office.
Likewise, the party which is today the

Strange ACCIDENT
TO A YOUNG LAD
While Playing Mumblepeg With Com
panion Knife Was Thrown and
Struck in His Hip Zone.

One of the strangest cases that
have come to the attention of the doc
tors of this city, says the Blooming
ton Paragraph. was that of Sunday,
April 3. when Albert, the 15-year-old
son of e. Rousey of Funk's Grove.
was injured while playing humble
peg" with some other boys. AS
known by those who are familiar
with the game, a knife is thrown and
stuck in the ground, the penalty of
the loser being that he has to pull a
peg from the ground with his teeth.
In playing the game the knife in some
unaccountable manner was thrown
into the side of young Rousey until it
penetrated the large hip bone. The
boys tried to pull the knife from tie
hip and in so doing the blade was
broken off doctor was called and
worked on the blade. but even with
the skill of medical man end good
instruments, the blade refused to
come out.
After the efforts of the doctor were
found to be futile. the 10y was loaded
into an automobile and taken to Kel
SOS sanitarium in this city. where an
operation was performed about 6
o'clock. The young man was put TN
der the influence of an anaethetic
and it was necessary to drill the bone
around the blade in order to extricate
it. A heavy pair of forceps We're
broken at the local sanitarium, giving
some idea of the secure manner in
which the blade was Embedded in the
bone It is one oflsthe most peculiar
cases that has ever been noticed and
never before brought to the attention
of the medical profession of this city.
1t already seems conceivable that a
knife could be thrown with sufficient
force to prohibit extrication even by
the present scientific methods

Up to few days ago there had
teen only eight of the lights burning
between Quincy and Burlington, but
from now on the complete service will

The light tenders are usually select
ed from among the river men of eX-
perience, as their work is of the ut
most Importance and reliable men are
required. These workers are equipped
with gasoline launches, in which they
visit the beacons under their charge.
In the old days. before the lights
were established. the pilots ran the
river on the darkest nights with moth,

to guide them. 1t was in the period

when the pilot was man envied by

MASON AND DIxon's LINE
Geographical Division That Has Fig
ured Prominently in the His
tory of the Country.

The historic Mason and Dixons
Line is name that vas given to the
southern boundary of Pennsylvania
about $50 years ago 1t comedies
with 80 degrees AZ minutes and 26.3
seconds north latitude.
Except for a distance of % miles
the line was marked out by Charles
Mason and jeremiah Dixon. English
engineers. They surveyed it for dis
lance of 25S miles west from the Della
ware river, between November Is,
1863, and December 26. 1867 Each
f1ve-mile stone bears the coat of arms
OF Maryland cut on one side and that
OF Pennsylvania on the opposite. The
intervening milestones have the let
tiers p" cut on one side and M on
the opposite.
During the progress of the violent
debate in congress in 1920, which re-
suited in the historic measure known
as the Missouri Compromise, on the
question of excluding slavery from
Missouri, John Randolph made use of
the phrase Mason and Dixon's Line"
as the dividing line between slave and
lree states. Maryland being a slave
holding state and Pennsylvania a free
state AT that time the crossing of
this line meant freedom to the fugi.
tive slave.
The application as made by Ran.
dolph drew attention to Mason and
Dixons Line all over the country as
indicative of bar to freedom.
