ACTRESS REFUSES
 TO PAY FOR PHOTO

Vienna, January -tSpecial.D-An amusing action has just been heard at Delrecnez, Hungary against an ac- tress who was photographed with bare feet, who refused to pay for the ph otograp phs, alleging thath her feet were made to appear ridiculously large.
 In court she was asked to take off her shoes and stockings in order that comparison be made. This, however, she refused to do. It was then decided to compare the finished photographs with the original negative. and it was seen that the photographer in "retouch- ing had remodeiled the actresss toes so as to make her feet appear really smaller than represented in the mega tive. He consequently won his case. the actress leaving the court in high dudgeon
 According to the Vienna Tageblatt, the health of the ex-Sultan Abdul Ham, i'd, is so unsatisfactory that it is proposed to remove him to sanitarium in Ger many. Commenting upon this proposal, the Neue Freie Presse remarks that this at once raises the question whether the ex-Sultan should goa.o Vienna, a matter which has already been the subject of an applica ton by the Porte through the Austrian am- bassador at Constantinople.
 Negotiations between the Austrian government and the Crude Oil Pro- ducer's union have resulted in the prac- tical completion of a contract by which the government will buy 900000 tons of petroleum for use as fuel on the locomotives of the state railways. This is in addition to the contract for one and a half million tons already made between the government and the union for oil fuel purposes on the Gal ican railway system.

 You have herd of old Columbia, the jem of the Ocean, have you not? You have not? Well, this is the jem of the Chattahooche, begosh. Jems-dont grow enny, do they? Well. that's us. In 1644 there were 1501 people of all seeks and denomerasions in Columbia. In 1910 there were 1902. that's growing sum. Bigger that out, MT. Expert. and tell us which the percentage of increase that is, and how big we'll be in 2903?
 Columbia is in the N. E. corner of Hous- ton county, and situated on the west bank of the Chattahoochee, and has maid a speciality of this aforesed situation for about 400 years. Columbia is about as lively as a tired rock. The most gay and festive cuss in town would make an un- dertaker seem kittenish. The prinsiple Bankers and Merchants pitch hoss shoes all day and lend money at 1 per centum per month, or less, to those who have the collaterel.

It was only, however, gentle rippel. Columbia simply yawned, turned over and went to sleep again.
 There is one oughtomobie in Columbia it was matched off in 1898, and the old citizens say that when 1t first came to town there was a real sensasion and that the mayor and justice of the peace both maid speectes on the publick square boosting the progressive spirit of Colum- bia and the owner of the oughtomobile maid speeches on the publick square himself to be the advance agent of a new era in Columbia, but, alas, when that oughtomobile works It's wheezy way down Main street now, emitting a smell like overworked cheese and coffing like a con sumptive cat. 1t doesn't even wake up the old watch dogs sleeping in front of the stores, and the small boy continues his game of humble peg undisturbed. The owner of this ansient relick is no longer looked upon as such wunder, and his brief attempt to star in the lime lite of Columbia is considered moor or less bank rupt. a.
 Columbia is a beautiful old plase-nice churches. nice people, polite and coilr- teous, beautiful and farely well kept streets, and like all old and extremely dead towns, it has quite a bunch of pretty girls and handsome women, who seem to be, so far as I have seen, yet unacquaint- ed with that destroyer of femail liberty, the Hobble skert; big hats have just reached Columbia and menny of her fair daughters air peculiarly attractive under them.

HUNGARY AGAIN
 IN A FERMENT

Vienna, January -(Special.)- Hungary is in ferment. again, and all because of thes ilI-advised remarks of the heir -presumptive, Archduke Franz Ferdinand to the Hungarian Premier Count Kheun Hedwary. The Archduke says:
 Every good patriot will learn with pain that Hungary's good fame has be- come somewhat dimmed in Europe Hungarians must endeavor to restore their ancient reputation, which can be accomplished If the Hungarian nation shows proof of it's complete political maturity. The position of the Hun garians will be entirely restored in Europe if Hungary presents the possi bility of becoming a great power by granting to the military and naval ad ministrations their new and increased demands
 The result which these words have had in Hungary is certainly not that intended by Franz Ferdinand. Even the newspapers friendly to the govern ment say that the heir -presumptivc actually makes Hungary's future de- pendent upon voting without opposition countless millions for military pur- poses.
 As Ujsag, the organ which voices the opinions of Count Tisza, observes that the Archduke will only allow the country prestige proportionate of the millions voted for the army and navy, which is humiliation for Hungary. The Pesti Hirlap says ITO grant dreadnoughts without receiving any equivalent in national concessions would scarcely increase our prestige.' Other newspapers express the fear that the passionate current of national feeling in Hungary will again break forth
 The Neues Wiener Tagblatt considers that there is no occasion to expect any far-reaching consequences from the Archduke's words, as Francis Joseph still reigns in Austria and as King of Hungary, and we know that he IS guided by wise and inexhaustible beneyoence

The scene might have been one of this same lake 1900 odd years ago, when Christ called men like these from their boats to be fishers of men,
 By and by the subject of fishing comes up, and l ask the men if there are still many fish in the lake, thinking of the great draught which Simon Peter and the other apostles drew up when they cast their nets at the command of our Lord at the time He appeared to them here after His crucifixon. They tell me that the sea is still alive with good fish, and that quantities are carried to Nazareth and other Galilean towns every week. Some are sent to Damascus by railroad and some are salted and shipped off to Jerusalem. About a year ago party took tons of fish in one day. The catch was so great that fish sold in Tiberias for cent apiece, and six pounds or more could be bought for a penny. There are fishing villages all along the lake and the fishermen are still to be seen drag ging their nets or mending them as they float near the shore. I am told that there are three ways of fishing. One is by hooks and two by nets. One kind of net is cast. It Is used from the shores or by the man wading breast deep into the water The net is a great ring or disk of thread weighted with lead. 1t takes the shape of dome 1t sinks, falling upon the fish it incloses. After this the fisherman dives down and draws the

r leads together and carries net and fish to the banks. Much fishing of this kind is done near the village of agdala. Another net is dragnet, with floats at the top with leads at the bottom. This is usually worked from boats which carry the nets, so that they form loop and scoop in the fish. Among the fish caught are excellent bass, some of which we have had at the hotel An especially curious fish is that known as the chro mis simonis, the male of which carries the eggs and young about in it's mouth,

We had strong winds all along the carriage road to Tibcrias. and our first sight of the sea showed waves which were rolling to and fro not unlike those of the ocean. The clouds hung low over the waters and great masses of black rested on the hills down which the swine ran. The boats were tossing this way and that, and at times it seemed they might sink. It was during such storm, in similar boat, that the apostles came v piir Lord. who was Sleep1nS, and begged Him to save them. He arose '4lu lebukso the, waters. and To- it was calm.

It was at that time that Jesus said: Be of good cheer; it Is I; be not afraid"
 And you remember how Peter tried to go tb Him. and how, when he saw the wind boisterous, his heart failed him and he began to sink, Jesus stretched forth His hand and caught him, saying, 'Oh, thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt ?'' And when they were come into the ship the wind ceased"

THE SEA OF GALILEE

Copyright, 1910, by Frank G. Carpenter.)
 Tiberias, Palestine. I'M in a fishermans skiff on the Sea Nof Galilee We have just left Ti- ! berias the ancient city of Herod, are on our way to Capernaum, where Christ lived and preached-that white spot which you can see on the shore at the north. It seems strange that one can carry the whole Sea of Galilee in his eye. l have always considered 1t as only little less than an ocean, or, at least, as big as the largest of our great fresh water lakes. The truth is it is only a puddle compared to Lake Michigan. It is about half as large as Lake Cayuga, at Ithaca, N. Y, and standing on any of the hills which rise precipitously about it the whole body of water can plainly be seen.
 A Bird's-Eye View
 The Sea of Galilee is only six miles at its widest part from east to west, and from where the Jordan flows in at the north to the place where 1t empties out at the south the distance is scant 13 miles, The sea lies in the depression of the Jordan valley, the river forming winding canal 200 miles long, which con- meets it with the Dead Sea at the south. The descent to the Dead sea is over 800 feet, and the waters wind like cork screw all the way down to that salt sea of death.
 Lake Superior is little more than 800 feet above the level of the ocean. The Sea of Galilee is more than 6S0 feet below that level, and 1t lies in nest in beauti- full mountains which slope up from the water in picturesque shapes.
 Over there at the west the shores are bright green and are spotted with wild flowers. The grass makes a waving sheet of emerald velvet, and it seems to almost reach the fleecy white clouds of the blue sky apove.
 Father to the, south are the Galilean mountains, now gray in the morning sun, with masses of smoky clouds hang ing over them They are full of water; and, as look. 10 the rain comes. The sun is still shining; and it has painted a rainbow over that part of the lake covering the town of Ma gdala, which, as you remember, was Mary Mazda 1ene's home.
 Looking through the rainbow you can catch sight of the Mount of tn e Beatitudes, upon which our Savior sat when He preached the sermon on the Mount, and on the sloping little hill at the left is where. 1t is said, He com manded the weary multitude to sit down on the grass and fed the 5000.
 Now look at the east, to the lands or the opposite sides of the lake and the Jordan. They rise precipitously from the water. The hills are so steep it would be almost impossible to climb them, and they are ragged and rough. That is the land of the Gadarenes, where our Lord cast out the devils into the swine, WI lch ran violently down a steep place into the sea.
 All about us are the most familiar scenes of the Scriptures. Every bit of these shores has been hallowed; and as we look the figures of the Old and New Testament spring into life. It Is impossible to read the Bible in the Holy Land and not feel that its people were real men and women. The apostles had the same feelings as ours: they lived in world much the same; they breathed the same air; they enjoyed the

REPROOF TO SIMS
 IS MADE PUBLIC

Washington, January 21.-The general order issued to the naval service of the United States navy by Secretary Meyer, reprimanding, in accordance with instruc- lions of the President, Commander w. $. Sims, of the battleship Minnesota, for his "every drop of blood' speech, delivered in London on December 3, was made public today.
 After quoting the letter recently ad- dressed to Secretary Meyer by the Pres ident. who stated that Commander Sims act was censurable and directed that he be publicly reprimanded, Secretary Meyer added the words in the general order:
 A public reprimand Is hereby admin istered to Commander w. s. Sims, United States navy, and will be entered upon his official record. The gravamen of the offense so clearly set forth in the above, from the President, that no additional re- marks are necessary to indicate to the naval service the lack of tact and knowl- edge of the plain duty of an officer of the navy exhibited by Commander Sims upon the occasion mentioned and to pre- vent a repetition of such regrettable occurrence.
 The general order will be sent to every officer in the navy and will be posted on vessels and at navy yards and sta tions The first copy of the order was sent more than a week ago to Command CT Sims who is at Guantanamo, where the Minnesota Is engaged in maneuvre practice with the rest of the Atlantic battleship fleet
 The speech for which Commander Sims received the reprimand was delivered at a dinner at which the Lord Mayor of London entertained 800 men of the Amer ican battleshp fleet. Responding to the address of welcome of the Lord Mayor, Commander Sims said:
 'If the time ever comes when the Brit ish empire is seriously menaced by an ex- ternal enemy, it Is my opinion that you may count upon every man, every dol lar every drop of blood of your kindred across the sea-
 Secretary Never took the matter up with the President, who directed that the officer be publicly reprimanded.
