clined the offer with great f1rmness. She is stil in a very nervous state of health and dislikes publicity more thoroughly every year. Now and again the unIortunate princess is seized with ungovernable fits of temper, which rrove a great trial not only to her husband, who has of late become much attached to King George and Queen Mary. but also to her daughters. As for the servants, the princess finds it very difficult to keep the same set for more than a month at time and both at her Brighton and London residences there are constant upheavals and n changing procession of buffers, foot men. chauffeurs and maids.
 The young princesses are growing very attractive and although they, too, dislike living in public" matrimonial schemes are already being prepared for them by their uncles and aunts. Both girls have told their friends that noth- ing would induce them to marry for eigners and there is no particular req son why either of them should not fol-

"Bill Vines On Chaunsy''

Mistur Edditur: .4....4..ss...s
 The greatest state in the union in point of wealth and population, New York, is represented in the Senate by False Alarm known to the world, as Chaunsy Depew. Chaunsy's record is feerce and Bmeels like the final analysis of d skunk. He began life, no telling how long ago, and gradually maid reputasion by spout ing a lot of "hot are'' in which there was nuthing, on people aftur they had gouged themselves with a good dinner. Chaunsy was one of these butterflies of fasion that f1uttered frum tree to tree and took ev- very thing that didn't happened to be nailed down. Still no one suspected it. He got away with evvery thing with such a winning smile and such pleasant man. ners that you really thought you were being complimented and didn't realize that you had been buncoed till the morn- ing after. Chaunsy was a Director in ev- very thing around New York that need enny drectoring whatsoever. When they called for volunteers for Director ships Chaunsy answered verry early, and got in on the ground floor; as a Director he was sertainly "all the munny' and there's nuthing to it. He held these mise fat jobs too until a sertain jealus person named Lawson frum Boston failed to get His and raised a rumpus because there twas no Taters,' and drew few unsus- pecting persons to the urbain and genial Chaunsy and advised them that there was the Goat. Evvery body with hob nailed shoes then jumped on Chaunsy with both feet and mashed his hobby person out fiat all ovver the scenery, and unused him up considerable including his lovely eide-whiskers. When they were through with Chaunsy his pat record looked like MT. Alcock's justly celebrated porus plaster and then sum. But dispite menny urgent and impolite requests Chaunsy did not resign frum the Senate, and nuth- ing else, so that you could tell it, until his pay was stopped. But Chaunsy will quit now, and retire, so he seys.
 Chaunsy was newer verry Loud Noise ln the senate, where the rusty old chest nuts he had been springing on the ser vivors of the May Flour at their annual spreads in New York, did not arouse the lafter and applause that had been his so longs On the contrary he was rather ''sat upon'' as low and common person by such old Pirates as Aldrich and his bunch. You see Chaunsy was newer a very big gun in the extracting frum the deer peepul' bizness, but was rather a fiunkey for the Big Ones" behind him, and executed the flank movements" to to speak.

Victoria, Australia, December 31.-(Spe- cial.)-Football in Australia is in immi- nenet danger of being spoiled. For long time observant spectators have noticed that some of the largest and most at tractive games between some of the best reputed clubs have been corrupt This season has sufficed to bring the truth of the matter out The officials. receiving reports of cases of bribery in Victora full investigation was made. with the re- suit that several of the most important players have been found guilty of ac- cepting bribes. The officials have dealt severely with all the cases brought be- fore them and it is likely that stop will be put to the practices. Several of the men have been disqualified either for a term of years or for life.

MUTUAL CONSENT
 LAW IS FAVORED

Copenhagen, December S1.-{Special) Norway's mutual consent" divorce law has been in effect now for just a year and has on the whole been thoroughly satisfactory in its working.
 Even the clergy, which looks with
 disfavor upon divorce, Is inclined to concede that the law has tended to a higher standard of morality.
 Under the Norwegian law men and women have equal rights and respon-
 abilities. If a man and his wife agree
 to dissolve the marriage they need no public law suits or complaints against each other. Separation always is grant ed by the magistrate when 1t is de-
 manded by both parties. If the hus- oand and wife are not agreed on sep eration either person can force the sep eration if the other person has been unfaithful or is drunkard or ill., treats the other person or the chill
 dren, or uses the income to the family's ruin, or has a deep-rooted dislike to the consort. The ministry of justice. in case the
 couple Is not agreed. decides the is-
 sue and says which shall have the agreement. where only one person | wants the separation, the marriage
 cannot be dissolved by divorce until after two years separation. In case of agreement the marriage is dissolved after one year or separation. After a
 divorce either party again can marry. | Sweden now has women policemen. Several have been enrolled in Christ l tiania and their work among women has been satisfactory.
 As an indication of the feelings of the King of Greece in regard to the
 security of his throne 1t has just trans
 pired that he has become the owner of three palaces in Denmark and has
 also purchased valuable properties in Paris and Austria.

When you urge the Mexican to make a business decision and close up the dea he squirms, shows his teeth and says:
 'Manana."

 The habit of mind which makes the Mexican say that has made him a poor man, generally speaking, in the midst of the most profusely productive coun- try in the world.
 And there are others Many of us lose out in life because we put off until tomorrow what we should do today. We say:
 Tomorrow I will decide.
 Tomorrow I will begin.

 Tomorrow I will be happy.
 When tomorrow comes we do not de- eide, we do not begin, we do not re- form, we are not happy. Because
 The habit persists. It is fatal to ini- tiative, to resolute action. It becomes easy to say to oneself: Tommorrow I will start the business; tomorrow I will speak the kind word; tomorrow I will cut out the bad habit. We go on thus. We

 And above all- Let us be careful about making pre- dictions of failure lest even in our own day we be proved false prophets What Are You Worth
 How much are you worth commercially in dollars and cents?
 It is said of some people that they are worth their weight in gold" which commercially Is not true. Estimated in the weight of the average person, that would make about $31, GOO Your body cer- tainly Is not worth that much.
 Analyze it.
 In the first place. the average body contains at least nine gallons of water, and water in that quantity has no value commercially
 There is enough lead in your body to make a big pile of lead pencils if you could get at it.
 And there Is enough phosphorus to make a good many boxes of matches. but not enough to pay a chemist to separate it.
 And, though you may lack considera- bly, in being the "salt of the earth.' there are in your body at least six ounces of salt.
 There Is also sugar. a pound or so, depending upon how fat you are Lit terally the fattest are the sweetest
 Besides, there are a little soda and other ingredients. sufficient perhaps to make a good sized bar of soap.
 And that is all, except the gas. of which there Is enough in you to fill a fair sized balloon.
 Tn short. you are bankrupt.
 Physically you are mostly water and gas. neither of which Is of, value in the market place.
 Instead of being worth your weight in gold-$31 ,000-you are scarcely worth your weight in dust.
 What are you worth? Whatever your real wealth may be, it resides in the mental and moral qualities that you possess.
 That Is all.
 Except under slavery your body is com mercially worthless. And yet men some times sell themselves. What do they sell ? Not their bodies. They sell their souls
 How much are you worth mentally? You may be worth millions, because all things are yours mentally. No man can keep you out of an intellectual fortune.
 How much are you worth morally? :? Whatever you choose to be. You may make yourself of untold value morally or worthless, depending absolutely upon yourself.
 What are you worth?

Tolstoy
 One Sunday morning a few weeks ago an old man lay dead in a httie nut by the side of railroad track.
 He was dressed in the rough oiouse and the heavy boots of the Russian peasant-a costume he had worn for many years.
 He died early on the Sunday mornlhs. And the peasants who loved him hockeo | to the place. Some knelt inside the hu. and some knelt outside and prayed TOT the soul of the old man with the white beard who lay in his little bed.
 True, the holy synod" of the hoiy Greek church had forbidden that. any prayers should be said for the respose oi | the soul of this old man, but | You cannot stop the silent prayer or soul by any earth injunction. Why the pitiful scene? It was because the old man who lay there dead was a Christian democrat. lie believed in literal brotherhood or man. He literally lived the truths of the Ser mon on the Mount. And the hoiy church" protested against this teaching and living of Christianity.
 This old man of 80 years was a great man of letters-one of the greatest or his century. He was titled and r1ch- And yet
 In peasant costume and living the Peasants daily life he taught tne co,n mon people, who heard him gladly, the lesson of human equality; taught 1t and, what was better, lived it.
 He was like the man who came to this earth 200O years ago to teach the same truth-and live it-and die for it.
 Is it impious to liken them?
 The one was born in another man stable, buried in another mans tomb; his last pillow was thorns, his nrst companions were thieves. and
 Was not Leo Tolstoy his true dis ciple?
 He who said: ''Ye shall know the truth. and the truth shall make you free" found in the soul of Tolstoy an altar upon which the truth forever famed.
 And the kneeling peasants, wondering in their simple minds at the strange greatness and the great goodness of the old man lying dead in the hut-they knew.
 And the world knows.

Haste and Hurry

Haste and Hurry There is big difference between haste and hurry Haste goes directly and swiftly on | its way, like a railroad train. Hurry goes on it's way swiftly, but not directly. It takes a zfgzag course, like an aeroplane buffeted by head winds or in countercurrents. | Haste helps | Hurry Is haphazard. Not long ago I watched two gangs of men at work on a new railroad em- bankment. On each section the same number of men and teams was em- ployed, and about the same number Of square yards of dirt was to be moved. l One of the bosses was a nervous fel- low who continually hurried the men and horses He urged and swore alter nately. He stewed and fretted and worried his gang. The other was a quiet man who sell dom spoke. Evidently his work had all been planned, and he simply kept his eyes open to see that his plans were carried out. While there was no fuss and no hurry call, men and teams rapidly fell in line at the right mo- ment.
 Several weeks afterward the super | intendent of construction told me the quiet man completed his job ten days | before the other. | The fretful mind hurries. l The trained mind makes haste. Speed Is not always determined by | the number of times the wheels go round.
 Hurry often marks time. while haste marches direct to camp. | Ordinarily there is no call for either | Things go smoothly. But when the urge is on every blow must count every muscle must work, every force | must be marshaled. Therefore When swift work is demanded has, ten, but do not hurry. l Behind the work must be the care | full, resolute, resourceful mind that calmly directs each blow, expands every muscle and carefully aims the l effort.
 Hurry makes men nervous and mis- l directs their energy. Hurry Is wasteful. Make hate slowly.
 Plan the job. Go at it with reserve power and clamly. Then do 1t swiftly and intelligently.

 The train was mile and a quarter long, and each car contained 50 tons oi ooal-100.o00 pounds.
