SPENDTHRIFT ISABELLA.
A Sight That Checked Her Royal Ex-
travagance For Awhile.

sight nat Checkeo f1eF hoyal ES-
travagance For Awhile.
We are accustomed to think that the
day is long past when a sovereign
could Oppress and offend a whole king
dom by personal extravaganza. But
the late Isabella of Spain belonged in
spirit to the sixteenth century. An in
cident of her reckless career-Which
ended in the loss of the thrones not
ed in MUnsey'S Magazine.
She spent money, pouring it out like
water, at a time when the treasury
was nearly bankrupt and when the
proverb Poor as a Spaniard" was
far too true All her best advisers
urged her to practice economy. Very
few of them succeeded, and these only
for a short time.
A certain chamberlain of hers once
hit upon a plan to make her realize
how enormous were the sums that she
was spending. Passing through the
hall Of the palace. she was surprised
to see a vast heap of silver pieces, re
sembling the contents of a great bin
of wheat, but piled up in the middle
of the floor. The queen summoned her
chamberlain.
"What is the meaning of all this
moneyP she demanded of him.
"Oh' he replied, with a low bow,
this is merely the amount which L
have brought out to pay the bill of
your majesty's glOvemaker."
The queen colOred and then laughed,
and for several months she was less
extTavagant in her expenditures for
clothes.

The Social Settlement.

In calling attention again to the
urgent needs of the colOred Social
Settlement, we do SO the more readily
because of the really earnest efforts
now being made under the direction
of the new president, Dr. John r.
Francis, to put the whole enterprise
on a we'll sustained basis.
We should take particular pride in
sustaining DR. Francis and his ener-
getic co-wOrkers, because they are
working unselfishly and along practi-
cal lines to help refute the charge
that we do not, as race, give proper
support to such work in our midst,
and for the direct benefit of the un-
fortunate in our own race.
1t is not enough that we give of
our dollars but we should give per
sonaI service as we'll We should
visit the Settlement, and encourage
by our presence the good work car
ried on down there by the ladies who
are giving their whole time to the
work, and for very inadequate com
pensatiOn.
1t was a fine thing for Mrs. West
and Mrs. Bruce to assume the re
spOnsibility personally of raising a
fund to insure the prompt payment
Of the salaries of the two lady work
ers at the Settlement, and we should
faithfully uphold them in their efforts.
Il IS equally meritOriOus in Mrs.
L. B. Moore to undertake the nam
moth charity reception which she has
planned in aid Of the same cause, and
we should literally support that pro-
ject, also not alone by individually
purchasing tickets for it, but by per
suading others to do the same thing
Let us remark that the good book
contains no tTueT axiom than this:
"ETe that giveth to the poor, lendeth
to the Lord.
The particulars Of the charity re
Ception will be found elsewhere in
this paper, but special attention IS
here called to the following extract
from one of the circulars sent out by
Mrs Moore's Committee.

ROUTED THE SINGER.
Tosti's Encounter With a Persistent
and Peppery Stranger.

"Tosti used to tell an amusing little
story of feminine persistence" says
Harold Simpson in his book, "a Cen

door of Tostis fiat. His valet was i'll.

A lady, a stranger to him, stood on
the threshold.
"'Signor Tosti? she inquired.

Grenada Was Bought Cheap.

The island of Grenada, in the Brit

French from the Caribs by a solemn
treaty in the middle of the seventeenth
century, and the price paid was two
bottles of rum. Esau's mess Of pot

comparison. The Caribs soon regret.

7. R. POINTS THE WAY.
The Colonel Tells the Southerners
What TO Do to BE saved.

Atlanta, Ga, March 10.-Strict gov
ernmental regulation of all industrial
combinations by means of laws which
forms and are not conceived IN the
minds of demagogues playing to the
clamor of ignorant agitators and a
misled minority of the people," was
urged last night by Theodore Roose-
Welt in an address before the Southern
Commercial congress.
Combination of great capital he re-
marked, was the natural outcome of
the day and age of great business, and
also was legitimate, provided, how
ever that the men who directed the
affairs of those mammoth concerns
did not use their power to initiate
prices and work harm to the man in
moderate circumstances.
Speaking, as he said. as a half
southerner," Colonel Roosevelt en-
deavored to show the way for the
great prosperity and business awak-
ening of the south which the Conn
mercial congress has for its object.
Purity in living, he said, must reach
to all parts of human endeavor-
political and busineSS-if the south
shall reap the benefits nature has be-
slowed and if the republic, which he
called the greatest experiment of gov
eminent the world had seen, was to
reach the ideals of it's founders. He
predicted that the greatest develop
ment in future years would be in the
south, and called upon all to forget
past differences and sectional strife.

SUES FOR $3.15.
Government Files Case Against
Number of Railroads.

Washington, March 10.--Demand-
ing reparation from several railroads
of America, by the department of JUS
tice has Instituted before the interstate
commerce commission a complaint
against the Pennsylvania railroad, the
Southern railway. the Norfolk & west
ern railway and the Philadelphia
Baltimore & Washington railroad.
While the amount is insignificant, 1t
IS estimated that the cost of collecting
It from the roads through the pro-
ceeding instituted will be at least one
hundred times the sum demanded.
The petition of the United states
alleges that it was overcharged $3.50
on the fare of one employee from
Brooklyn, n. Y, to Morristown, Tenn;
that an overcharge of IS cents was
made on the transportation of one
passenger from New York city to
Knoxville. Tenn. and that an over
charge was made one each of two pas
sengers from Philadelphia, Pa, to
Chattanooga, Tenn, of 80 cents. The
total overcharge was $3.15.

CANNON CAN BE LEADER
Mann Willing to Step Aside for For
mer Speaker.

Washington, March 10.-The Re
publican leadership of the new house
will be determined at caucus TO be
held in the capitol. probably Monday,
April 3, the day preceding the conven-
ing of the extra session. The Demo-
crat caucus will be held on the pre-
ceding Saturday. Both caucuseS will
be for the main purpose of effecting
the house organizations.
Messrs. Cannon and Mann OF Hi
nois, the former the retiring speaker
and the latter his chief lieutenant in
the congress that has Just closed, are
the two dominating factors in the
leadership plan. If Mr.. Cannon de-
sires to be Republican leader, Mr..
Mann will support him for that post
but whether Mr.. Cannon is disposed to
run for the leadership is a subject
which neither he nor his closest
friends are inclined to discuss.

PRESERVED HIS VOICE.
Hymns of william Faxon Heard at His
Own Funeral.

Ovid. Mich. March 10.-William Fax
on's voice was heard at his own fun
eral here yesterday. While his body
lay in a casket those gathered to pay
final tribute heard two hymns by him
and also heard him as one of a trio,
including his son and daughter, in sac
red songs.
When the mourners had gathered in
the parIor of the F'axon home, in which
lay his open coffin, they were surprised
to hear his voice pealing an anthem
from behind a screen of flowers and
palms. Twice the attendants at the
funeral service heard his voice in
hymns they knew were his favorites.
Then there mingled with his notes
those of his son and daughter
Three years ago believing his life was
nearing it's close, Faxon conceived the
idea of preserving his own voice to
be a part of the service when he died.

ONCE JOINED TO AFRICA.
Scientists Claim Dark Continent Was
United to America.

Berlin, March 1O.-The saurian
fossil discoveries in German East
Africa appear to be more important as
we'll as more extensive than at first
supposed, Professor Branca, director
of the Museum of Paleontology at
Berlin, concluding from the similarity
of the bones found in Africa and
America that those countries were
connected in remote geological times.
Some of the bones which have
reached Berlin and have been set up
in the museum beside the skeleton
cast of the huge diplodocus presented
to the emperor by Andrew Carnegie
show the dinosauraus of Africa was
much larger than that of North Amer
lea but of such striking similarity as
to indicate that they belong to the
same species.
Professor Janesch, the scientist who
headed the expedition to recover the
fossils a year ago, now reports that
deposits exist in two other places.
An appeal has been issued to the
German public for money to secure
the fossils for the Berlin museum.

MAY LAND TOW MILL.
e. Il. LOughrey Investigated Flax In
dustry in COffey County.

Burlington, March 10.-E K.
Loughrey was here this week to in
vestigate the fax industry in this
county with view to the establish
ment of a tow mill. He is visiting
the counties in this section of the
state where the bulk of the flax is
raised and a mill will be located in
some town in the Neosho valley
Mr.. Loughery is out to investigate
the quantity of fax grown in the sew
eral counties and to test the straw
for fibre, that being the important
part. He reports that the straw in
this section is of splendid quality and
that it is very likely that a mill will
be located, but he would give no en-
couragement that it would be given
to Burlington, although this town is
not far from the center of the flax
belt and Coffey county was third in
quantity of fax produced in 1910.

HOUSE SITS 10 HOURS.
Session of the Commons Nearly De-

&T,ondon. March 10.-After contlnu-
olis sitting of 10 hours the house OF
commons, rose at 10 o'clock this morn
ing stormy scene marked the seS-
sion right up to the close. The WhoIe
night was occupied by the discussion
of the land clauses of the budget ana
the debate was the most bitter that
has been heard N the lower chamber
In ten years.
Taunts and insults were hurled fast
and furiously, anger flared up danger
ously and at one moment riot was
threatened when in the midst OF an ex-
cited demonstration on the part Of the
Nationalist Captain James Craig,
IInionist member for the east division
of Down, sprang to his feet and, ad-
dressing the chairman, remarked that
If the presiding officer would give the
word, the opposition would gladly
throw the whole Nationalist party out
of the house.
This remark drew a hurricane or
angry shouts from the Irish benches
and it was some time before the chair
man was able to restore order
The scenes reminded one of that
night in 1901 when the police were
called in to make the Nationalist be-
have themselves.
