NEWS FORECAST FOR THE COMING WEEK


Washington after an absence of two
months will be the signal for a re-
awakening of official life and politi-
cal activity in the national capital.
Though Congress will not meet for
several weeks many of the members
will be on hand for meetings of vari-
Gus commissions and official investi-
cations. The president will begin
work in earnest on his annual mes
sage and political leaders will drop in
to consult with him concerning the
preliminary work Of the approaching
campaign, which il is generally
agreed is to have an earlier begin
ming next year than is usually the
case.
The progress of events. in Tripoli
and of the revolutionary movement in
China, together with the Mcnamara
trial in Los Angeles, may still be
counted on to furnish first-page stor-
les.
The first session of Canada's newly
elected twelfth Parliament will open
Wednesday. The proceedings on the
first day will be purely formal and of
a routine character. The ceremonial
opening by His Royal Highness the
Duke of Connaught will take place
Thursday and promises to be an event
of exceptional brilliancy. The dura-
ton of the parliamentary session and
the extent and character of the bust
ness to be transacted are largely
problematical. II
Among the important gatherings of
the week will be the annual conven-
ton of the American Federation of
Labor, at Atlanta; the annual con-
vention Of the American Road Build
ers' Association, at Rochester, the
meeting Of the Trans-Mississipp
Commercial Congress, at Kansas City,
the convention of the American AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of Infant Mortality, at Chicago,
and the convention and exhibition OF
the American Apple Congress, in Den
yer.
Other events of more or less inter
est and Importance will be the annual
banquet Of the Canadian Club Of New
York, the dedication of the Massa-

TWO MULES WITH HISTORY
Tho Only Hybrids In the Geographical
Service Are Sent to
Kauai.

Two mules with a history were
shipped down to w. B. Hardy on the
Island Of Kauai recently. He is car
rying on the work of the geograph-
ical and water research branch of the
department there, and it was found
that animal transportation was the
only way to meet the difficulties.
There were only two mules in that
branch of the service and they were
over in California. Likewise Hardy
was the man who worked them over
there when he was on the mainland.
Now he and his friends will be re-
united on Kauai
The work of the department on that
island Is arduous owing to the fact
that where the water runs are not al
ways roads. Accordingly, some means
have to be found by which the in
vestigator could get about. He has a
saddle and pack and can ride the
mules as far as he can get them over
the tracks, and then do the rst of tho
work on foot. The work necessitates
constant travelling of rough sort

GOLD
BEADS
BY ELLA. N. BANGS

Copyright. 1911. by Associated Literary Press.l
"Of all things!" exclaimed Miss Ell
dora Goodrich, looking up over her
spectacles to her niece across the
room. What do you think, Rebecca?
But listen to this. 1t is written from
Cleveland. Ohio:
miss Eldora Goodrich,
Dear Madam:
II am informed that you have in
your possession string of gold beads
engraved with letters forming the
name, Rebecca Danforth. No doubt
their story is as familiar to you as to
myself, though possibly parts OF ID
are omitted In your version, SO you
will pardon me for repeating what you
already know for the sake of what
you, perhaps, do not. Ninety or a
hundred years ago, Stephen Danforth
OF Massachusetts,, gave to his young
wife this string of beads engraved
with her name. Two sons were born
to them, stephen, Jr., and WAliam;
the former removed to what was then
way out west The latter remained
in Massachusetts. After the death Of
Mrs. Danforth her husband promised
to give the beads to the first grand
daughter born and named Rebecca.
I'm course of time a daughter came
to William Danforth, She was duly
baptised Rebecca, and to her was
given the gold beads. A few months
later word was received that daugh-
ter had also come to the family of
Stephen Danforth, that she was
named Rebecca and therefore laid
claim to her grandmother's beads.
Now, however, though the birth OF
this Ohio Rebecca antedated that OF
her Massachusetts, cousin by several
weeks, she never received the beads.
This Rebecca Danforth was the
grandmother of the writer of this let
ter. Her daughter, my mother, died
six months ago. l promised her that
! would hunt up the beads, gain pos

Not a Cheap Building.

1t has been estimated that to re.
build the pyramid of Cheops under
modern conditions an expenditure OF
$100,000,000 would be necessary and
the labor of 10000 men for two years
required.
1t has been calculated that the work
really required the services of 100000
men for thirty years.
The pyramid occupies space OF
twelve and three-quarters acres, is 746
feet high and contains about 1885,
900 cubic yards of stone and gran
lite.
The material alone represents an
item of $36,OOO,0OO, while the labor
would increase this amount to $72,-
100000. To this must be added 3d.
100000 for tools, transportation, and
similar items.
The pyramid is built on solid rock
$50 feet deep, and to build founda-
ton of this character would add to
the cost to the extent of making the
total of 500, ,OO0.-Scientific Amer

JOHN W. GATES AND THE CAB
Little Gambling Episode In Which
"Watch-Me" Was Able to Say
"You Lose" Three Times.

A Gates anecdote that never got
so far as 1t deserved, if 1t was true,
was about his riding down town from
New York hotel In cab with a stock
market friend.
I'll match you," said John Watch
me. ito see whether you or / buy this
horse and cab from the driver, il it's
his"
It was cabby's, so they matched,
and John ,Watch-me had the satisfac-
ton OF saying. you lose" The bar
gain struck, John Watch-me had an
other proposition to offer the new
owner.
Nov I'll match you." he said, TO
see whether you keep the outfit or
whether you, sell 1t back to cabby at
his own price" And once more John
Watch-me said. You lose"
Here II dawned upon Gates COM
panion that In the last match John
Watch.me had stood no chance to lose,
whichever way 1t went, and he made
remarks, -. .,sa
All right" said John Watch-me,
I'll match you to see whether you or
I stand the difference between the
buying and the selling price," For
what he had just sold cabby would
only give a buying price that was Just
800 less. This was the stake in the
last match, and for the third time
John Watch-me was able to say, "You
lose."

When Sleeping.

1t is well to sleep from infancy with
the head uncovered, as the hair thus
retains its beauty longer. On retiring
the hair should be raised high above
the ears, without pulling, plated loose
ly in a single braid and tied with a
silk or cotton ribbon. Avoid wearing
starched nightcaps, as the starch is
injurious to the hair. When old age
approaches it may be well to wear
nightcaps.
Brush the hair well, using soft
brush, on going to bed and in the
morning. The best brushes are made
with short bristles. II the hair Is
combed from the roots downward
without being divided in several parts,
much harm may be done to it. The
hairs would certainly be broken off,
become uneven and could never be
made to look cared for. 1t is an ex-
cellent thing to smooth the hair with
the hands.

Cats Drive OF Snakes.

For many years have been running
cattle station in Queensland, where
snakes are tolerably numerous. At
the head station we have always kept
up standing army of from Is to 20
cats and have been practically free
from the presence of snakes about the
building and yards.
That this was owing to the presence
OF our cats have no doubt whatever
They were always on the lookout, and
have often seen members of our
feline body guard growing over dead
or dying snakes and>have more than
once witnessed savage encounters be-
tween them and their victims. On
the other hand, martyrs to their duty
were from time to time found dead
in the morning with all the evidence Of
a fight and their defeat In the shape
of snakebite on their bodies.-Speo-
tator.

have them.
Very truly your distant cousin,
"Rebecca Danforth Norton"
A few days after this was mailed
Aunt Eldora remarked:
II guess Stephen Moore thinks he
may as well give up the beads, we
don't hear anything more from him
think / did put it to him good and
plain"
A satisfied nod accompanied this re.
mark, but Rebecca made no response.
She was, however, conscious Of gull
ty little fiutter at her heart.
A week passed and then one day
the sound OF the brass knocker rang
through the old house, and Rebecca
opened the green door to man whom
her quick glance took In to be young,
dark-eyed and broad shouldered. Hat
In hand he inquired: m.r@ Tl
Am speaking to Miss Rebecca
Norton?"
You are"
Upon this the stranger reached out
his hand with an Irresistible smile.
and the announcement, II am your
cousin. Stephen Moore"
With cheeks like twin roses Rebecca
went to tell her aunt of his arrival
Miss Eldora was at first inclined to
be somewhat distant in her manner,
but 1t was OF no use, for the geniality
of the young man soon made both
women feel that they had been ac-
quainted for years.
Before the day was over Rebecca
had shown him the Danforth beads.
They are beautiful" he commented,
"and SO odd" Then a little later
when Miss Eldora mad left the room
he asked. "Would-would a hundred
dollars be any object?"
20, would you be willing to pay
that?"
Certainly"
The girls red lips trembled. 1t was
hard to part with them, but reaching
out the box, she said bravely: They
are yours; l am SO mercenary, you
see."
The young man took the box, but a
moment later handed it back.
81 would like to see them worn;
will you please wear them while 1
am here?"
For a few days longer the family
beads adorned the girls white throat,
then the night before he was to leave
she gave him the box once more. II
hope your wife will like Them" she
smiled.
Il hope So" the young man smiled
back"
as she interested in them?"
MY wife? Why, haven't any
wife!"
For a moment the two gazed at
each other in mutual amazement.
What made you think l had?" he
asked then.
why, you said-your letter."
THAT l wanted to give them to my
wife, and so l do-when l have one"
Then Stephen Moore took the box
as well as the hand that held it, and
he must have claimed both beads and
wearer, for few months later there
was wedding in the old brick house,
and one of the groom's gifts to the
bride was a string or gold beads.

SHELTER IN THUNDER STORM
Main Thing to Avoid Is Being Most
Conspicuous Object on Earth
or Water.

The greatest danger for a human
being in thunder storm is to be the
highest projecting object on the sur
face. Hence it is dangerous to be out
on a golf links or hillside or in a
small boat on water The wise thing
Is to take shelter in a house, or, If
that is not accessible, in a cave or
under overhanging rock, or in hole,
or to lie fiat. Many more persons are
struck, according to statistics, in the
open than when taking shelter under
trees, and it appears from statistics
that more are killed when seeking
safety under oak trees than under
beech trees, but this may be due to
the relative abundance of those trees
they grow.
Avoid a solitary high tree, but seek
protection in a wood or clump of
many small trees. In house avoid,
during storm, placing yourself be-
tween two large and prominent con-
ductors of electricity, such as the
water pipe or gas main and the fire.
place. If the house is a detached one
or corner house in row and the
storm is close, you may do well to re-
tire into the basement until the storm
is over. On the whole, the long rows
of houses of fairly equal height in the
streets of a great town are about as
safe as any place during an electric
storm. They are so safe that 1t is
not thought worth while to protect
them with lightning conductors. The
Eiffel tower in Paris, being entirely
built of iron, is huge lightning con-
ductor, and has been photographed in
storms with forked lightning harm

to the reading of the letter, and as
her aunt paused, exclaimed:

that anyone else had the least claim
upon them"

Eldora smiled grimly at her fitting

Rebecca knew it would be hard to
part with the beads, but as her aunt
had suggested. they were in need Of
money. They lived in the house where
both had been born, plain two-story
building OF red brick, with a green
front door, over which was a fan
shaped window. II was sadly in need
of repairs, and after much thought on
the subject, the girl one day wrote the
following letter:
Dear Cousin Stephen:
You have probably received let

much you would be willing to pay for
