when the twenty-four state trumpet
ers with their silver trumpets herald
ed the durbar were, Of course, Lord
Hardinge, viceroy Of India, and Lady
Hardinge.
Most spectacular was the grand re-
view Of troops, about 10000 in num-
Der. Most of these were native
troops, and they were CARRIED in the
most gorgeous uniforms in the world.
The rajahs and other native princes
present brought their own elephants,
the size of the animal depending on
the rank of its owner, and the huge
brutes, with their magnificent how
dahs and other trappings, added much
to the oriental splendor of the scene.
Presents for Indian Subjects.
The king and queen brought from
England a vast number of presents
for their Indian subjects, including a
thousand plum buildings made in the
Buckingham palace kitchens, and a
great number Of rich cakes, York
hams and Stilton cheeses. Then there
are rolls Of English linen, piles Of
Buckinghamshire, honiton and point
laces, illustrated books, fancy leather
goods, silverware Of all kinds, British
silks and ~velvets. pictures and photo

wealth, and the occasion warranted
the display, for this was the first time
q British emperor of India has come
to this seat of the old kings of In
dia to assume his title as ruler Of
the vast eastern empire.
The durbar, for which elaborate
preparations had been under way for
months, took place in a great camp to
the north Of the city, some five miles
square. The temporary population Of
this camp is about a quarter Of a mil
lion, and it is furnished with all the
conveniences of modern life, includ-
ing 81 postofices, 10 telegraph offices
and even electric light, railways. motor
cars and taxi cabs. There the people
gathered for the durbar have been
amusing themselves for several days
with polo, hockey and military tourna-
ments and other festivities.
Display of Jewels Is Wonderful.
The durbar proper took place in an
immense semi-circular amphitheater
on the historic ridge where a few
Englishmen once made a heroic stand
against the revolving natives. In the
center of the semi-circle was a throne
of gold and silver surmounted by a
copper dome. Taking his seat on
this, George received the homage Of

themselves about the throne, where
also stood the governors Of the Ash
attic colonies Of the crown, other Gs-
tinguished government officials and
invited guests.
Queen Wears the kohlnoor.
The king was crowned kingemper-
or at Westminster, so he took his
throne already wearing a crown that
had been made especially for this oc-
casion, CARRIED in the royal robes of
state wearing the state jewels and
carrying the scepter. BY his side sat
Queen Mary, on her brow the crown
that was made for her coronation and
in the front Of which blazed the great
Kohinoor, the Indian diamond sup
posed to bring good fortune If worn
by a woman. Her jewels were even
more magnificent than those she wore
at the coronation at Westminster,
among her new ornaments being Q
beautiful lotus flower of diamonds.
She was CARRIED in the white and gold
embroidered robe worn at the corona
! tion.

Ii Means Health
For the Child

The careful mother, who watches close
" the physical pecullarities of her chill
dren, will soon discover that the most
important thing in connection with q
chiid's constant good health is to keep
the bowels regularly open. Sluggish
bowels viii be followed by loss Of appe-
tite. restlessness during sleep. irrita-
bility and a dozen and one similar evil
dences Of physical disorder.
At the first sign Of sue disorder give
the child a teaspoonful of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring and
repeat the dose the following night II
necessary-more han hat will scarcely
be needed. You will find that the child
will recover its accustomed good spirits
at once and will eat and sleep normally.
This remedy is a vast Improvement
over salts, cathartics, laxative waters
and similar things. which are altogether
too powerful for a child. The homes of

them, as with thousands of others, there
is no substitute for this grand laxative.
1t is really more than a laxative, for 1t
contains superior tonic properties which
help to tone n strengthen the stomach,
liver and bowels so that after a brief
use of 1t all laxatives can be dispensed
with and nature will do its own work.

SOME CRUEL AND UNUSUAL
Double Penalty Threatened for Those
Who Dared to Interfere With
the Wires.

Rotorua has been laughing over the
wording of a notice that has been
place by the Public Works depart
ment on some of the electric wire
posts on the road to Okere, in New
Zealand
Some time ago a Maori youth. who
seemed to have a misguided taste for
experimenting, threw a long piece OF
cable over the electric wires that run
to Rotorua from the power station at
the Okere Falls.
The town was at once plunged in
darkness for two or three hours until
the mischief had been located.
The dusky and youthful expert
menter was carpeted in the court and
fined for his scientific enthusiasm,
and the department put up this no
tice:
ANY persons climbing the electric
light poles OF damaging the in~sulators
are liable to a fatal shock and a pen
atty of 910."-Tit-Bits.

Judgment peoples shall submit their

equity."-William H. Taft.
And we say boldly that, like charity,
he eternal principles of law and equity
should begin at home.
More important to Americans than
fantastic theories of peace and arbitra-
ton and more important that a new
Areopagus is the question of justice in
our laws and policies and good faith in
their administration by government.
If we could get n conscientious
and impartial Judgment on the wrongs

industry and politics we should be in
much better position to enlighten a

we are.-New York World.

What Has Mr.. Taft Accomplished?
Mr.. Taft has much reason to ask
himself what has been gained by his
two months tour.
To be sure, he has broken the long
distance record for presidential trips,
made hundreds Of speeches, covered
thousands of miles and been gazed
upon by millions Of people, all Of
which has been faithfully chronicled
by his private secretary. Evidently
he enjoys that sort of thing or he
would not do 1t. But that Mr.. Taft
has strengthened the administration
with the country or bettered his po-
litfcal prospects is extremely doubt
full. One certain effect of such a per-
torrance as he has just completed
has been to cheaper the presidency
and to lower the dignity Of the office
In the eyes of the public.-New York

lnquisitive Person Probably Still Is
Looking for Information That

Every one who has lived in a small
town knows the type of person gen.
orally detested there for his inquisi-

light in thwarting the purposes Of
such a person is shown by an Incl
dent related by a New Englander.
A woman in a New England town

IT IS CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause of designation, physical be
cause of pain. Think of the pleasure
of a clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, so essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only a matter of a little
thoughtful care in the selection of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura

SO little, that it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap

sPOllsMEN IN SADDLE
CONDITION TODAY IN NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN POLITICS.
People Have Little or No Opportunity
to Declare Their Preference for
a Leader When the Con-
vention Meets.

Are the people to have anything to
say about the presidential candidates
Of the Republican party next year?
There is a pretense in some places
that they are to be consulted, but all
the indications point to the renomina-
lion of Mr.. Taft by the oficeholders
almost without opposition.
At a time when the popular demand
for direct primaries seems to be keen
and referendums and recalls are every
where In operation or under discussion
It is more than strange that a function
Of such Importance as this should be
left practically in the hands Of spoils-
men. This is no new condition In ma
tional Republican politics. In 1904 the
oficeholders nominated Roosevelt. In
1908 Roosevelt nominated Taft.
Few young Republicans remember a
rational convention in which there was
a contest. The last one was in 1895.
Since then candidates have been made
by small coteries, and the great. con-
7entions, costing so much time and
money, have had little to do beyond
registering DEGREES made long before
they assembled.
Most people will admit that If a di-
rect primary could be held Mr.. Taft
would have much difficulty in securing
3 denomination. Yet SO we'll do the
pficeholders have the situation in hand

The failure of public opinion to as

lue in. part to the peculiar attitude of
the leaders Of the Insurgents, These
men are riding for a fall. as they saw
In the British Parliament. They look
for Taft's nomination and defeat. They
then expect to reorganize and assume
the leadership of a d~iscredited narty.
