Royal Jewels In Pawn.

The ex-Sultan Abdul Aziz pawned all
his crown jewels for million francs
at the Mont de Piete at Paris, and
they were only just redeemed by the
Moorish government in time to pre-
vent their being sold among other I'M
redeemed goods.
The sword of state, which is regard
ed in Servia as a sacred relic, was also
pawned by a former king, while one
well known European monarch found
himself in such straitened circum-
stances that the famous house of At
tenborough once temporarily had pos
session of all his old silver.
Queen Isabella was, however, the
most famous royalty who made no
secret of the fact that she raised mon
ey upon the security of the portraits
of her ancestors, which hung on the
walls at the palace Cattle, her Pari-
sian home. The royal lady often de-
clared how deeply she was indebted to
her royal forbears for coming to her
rescue and helping her out of her finan-
cial predicaments.-Lo M. A. p.

Pomerene was then discovered by
Tom L. Johnson. Finding that the
young prosecuting attorney had ideas
Oh the taxation question, Johnson pro-
:ured his appointment on the tax COM
mission Of which POmerene was made
secretary. Next Johnson put him up
for governor to defeat Harmon, who
savored too much of reactionism to
suit Tom l.. Harmon beat Pomerene
in the convention, but this year the
Canton man was given second place
on the ticket a nomination he did not
want. Despite his election as lieu
tenant governor he became a candi-
date for the senate. Against him was
Edward w. Hanley, chairman of the
state committee. Pomerene challeng-
ed Hanley TO joint debates, and when
the caucus was held the honorable
chairman had but ten votes.
Senator Pomerene does not smoke,

Filial piety finds no place in Tibetan
character. 1t is no uncommon thing
for son to turn his father, when too
old for work, out of doors and to leave
him to perish in the cold. The supersti-
ton that the souls of the dead can,
if they will, haunt the living drives
their hardened natures to gain by the
exercise of cruelty the promise of the
dying that they will not return to
earth. AS death approaches the dying
person is asked. will you come back
or will you not?" If he replies that
he will they pull leather bag over
his head and smother him. If he says
lie will not he is allowed to die in

w. A. Blount, who is to be the new
senator from Florida, has a unique
distinction. He is a corporation attor-
ney who refuses to lobby for his eli

his brief in the case. and there his
services end. He is attorney for the
Louisville and Nashville railroad and
various other concerns, but says his
connections end the moment he re-
ceives his certificate of election.
Former Governor Napoleon B. Brow

originally elected in the primaries to

Blount was chosen in his stead.
Thornton's Election Sealed.
Two of the new Democratic senators
to fill vacancies caused by death are
John Il. Thornton of Louisiana and
Claude A. Swanson of Virginia. Judge
Thornton was chosen after a peculiar
tangle. The legislature chose Gov
ernor Sanders for senator, but after
it adjourned he declined and appointed
Thornton. The question was raised
as 10 Sanders power to do this under
the constitution, whereupon the legis-
lature met once more and removed the
doubt by electing Thornton.
As for Senator Swanson, his career
has tinge of the romantic. When
a boy his fathers financial reverses
compelled him to quit school and work
on farm, clerk in store and do
other things to earn his way. He
managed to procure a university edu-
cation and went rapidly to the front
Despite the fact that he is only forty
eight years old he has already been in
congress more than twelve years and
governor of Virginia four years.

as handsome does" also applies
, to town. If Il town be full of
lt twleSsness. racket. noises. bick
eling. scandal. contention. Ii is
not the town beautiful-it is the
town ugly. Order is heavens
first law everywhere, and town
, is no exception. Letting things
go helter skelter is losing bus
mess. Let man deface his
own property and it depreclates
} all property. Let the town do
an i'll piece of work or permit
another to do it and the welfare
Of the whole community is
weakened. Civic life Is the main
thing. 1t is for that fine streets
and structures are encouraged.
The true civic life implies things
that are positive-purity, honor,
cleanliness, decency, order, quiet.
Behavior is the first thing a town
, needs TO take care Of if it wants
to guard its own honor or well
fare. Responsibility is not in
money, houses nor lands-it is
in conduct, and right conduct is
utility, an advantage to
community. When that is not
rightly priced a community is
very unfortunate.

Watson Worth Millions.

Watson is a multimillionaire who
owns coal mines, vast eXpanses of
land. villages. fleets and railroads. He
is only about fortyfour years old and
few years ago created a sensation
in society by winning a cool quarter
of million in prizes at the London
international horse show. Watson
started out early in the senatorial
game, travelled from county to county
and before the other aspirants had
fairly awakened TO the fact said he
had things pretty much his way.
Then. when the elder Elkins died and
there were two senators to elect. Wat
son tied up with Chiffon. and the
game was won. At least these are
the tales told in West Virginia.
One of the exciting incidents of the
contest was the fight of the entire
Republican membership of the state
senate. AS there are fifteen Repub-
licans and fifteen Democrats the exc
dus left the body without a constitu-
tional quorum. and Governor Glass
cock, Republican, refused to recog
nize the senate as legally organized.

THE NORFOLK SUIT.


Not only in young women's gar
ments, but in the models shown for
older women, the Norfolk style Is In
cluded. 1t is several seasons since we
wore these iaunty English coats. but
there are many girls and women to
whom the style is very becoming, and
the mode itself is suitable for many
occasions.
For schoolgirls the suits of blue
serge, cheyiots and c%orduroys are
especially well liked, and the more
mannish-or 'boyish' she can have her
coat the better she likes it. Straight
lines, square shoulders, no waist line
and deer side pockets are the things
most girls like about these new Nor
felix's. and the skirts which accompany
the jackets are usually plain as the
proverbial pipe-stem,
For women the styles are a little less
outing-like in character, and there are
sometimes fewer pleats and a little
more %shapeliness to the coats. There
Is more of a suggestion of the waist
line and the shoulders are not so
squarely blocked.
For country wear in the autumn and
winter, for shopping and morning wear
are some of the uses to which women
like to put Norfolk suits.

A pumpkin party" is an excuse for
a small and earl. dance. Decorate the
house with crepe paper vines with the
blossoms and pumpkins hanging from
them. A stack of corn stalks and large
punches of autumn leaves and berries
are most decorative, Use only pumpkin
lanterns, with some yellow electric light
bulbs enclosed in the blossoms.
The invitations should be small paper

pany It the pumpkin shell, where Peter
pumpkin and his wife will treat them
wei, saving them from all anxious
cares caused by Halloween witches

The refreshments may be served buff
fet fashion and as simple as the hostess
wishes. In the centre of the table place
a big pumpkin Jack Horner pie filed
with the favors. The yellow paper
plates and paper napkins with pump
kin decoration are handy for serving.
A simple menu is as follows:
Witches Broth

WHEN AT THE TABLE.

Every family should ave meals at
regular hours, and all should make it
an unfailing rule to be in their accus-
toned seats, so far as circumstances
will permit.
The same respectful, courteous spirit
should be manifest towards each other
and should mark their intercourse, the
same as If strangers were present. AL
ways choose interesting topics of con
yersation at the table, avoiding all un-
pleasant subjects; never find fault
with the food; speak in a natural voice,
rather low, never i~nterrupting anyone
while speaking, and addressing serv-
ants quietly.
