the women Of this country are the
following rules Of conduct issued to
"the girls of Great Britain" by the
Women's Imperial Health Associa-
tion of Great Britain and Ireland.
The future Of our country is in

clothing. A healthy girlhood is the
best foundation for happy life.
You must know about cooking,
housekeeping and domestic economy.
/ You must learn about the feed
ing and care of children; this knowl-
edge does not come by instinct, as
many suppose.
Remember that home making is
the most dignifed and important
profession in the world.
Attend, if you can, Continuation
classes" in personal and domestic hy-
giene in your own house, remember
ing that a good daughter makes the
best wife.
Choose the best companions and
read the best books you can find. Ac-
cept only the best men as your hus-
bands, paying as much attention to
their character as to their personal
appearance. - Woman's National

He staked His Herd.

Many stories Of big poker games
among the western cattlemen In the
early days have been told. but the
story of the game with probably the
greatest stakes is here printed for
the first time Two well-known cat
tlemen of southwestern Kansas start
ed to move their herds to the pas
lures Of Wyoming. Each herd con-
tanned more than thousand head OF
cattle. When they came to the
crossing of the Arkansas river near
Coolidge they found a food on.
They were unable to cross for two or
three days. To while away the time
the two men engaged in poker game.
When the flood finally subsided SO that
the cattle could proceed one Of the
cattlemen said to his son, who was
helping to drive: "Just turn my herd
over to our neighbor and we will go
back home" He had bet and lost not
only all the money he had, but all Of
the herd of cattle.

QUEEN MAY LEAVE
KING ALFONSO

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
LONDON, Jan. 30.-That
Queen Victoria of Spain, in conse-
quence of his afafirs with other
women, has practically quit King
Alfonso, is admitted in court cir
cles here today. 1t is learned that
Queen Victoria has been for some
time prevented from leaving Spain
only by political pressure from
England and the fear that by so
doing she might lose the custody
of the crown prince, Alfonso. ls
Victoria's family are urging
her to put as good front as pos
sible on her matrimonial troubles,
and it is believed that the dread
of losing her child will prevent her
leaving Spain.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 80.
Pierre Carter, the New York
and Paris ieweler, Saturday night
delivered into the hands of Ed
ward b. Mclean the famous Hope
diamond. Mclean handed Carter
100000 in exchange. Then Nc
Lean made his wife, the former
Evelyn Walsh, a present of the
diamond which has worked such
'baleful influence upon all who
came in contact with it.
All Washington and, in fact, the
whole country, was startled when
it became known that the former
nous Coloado multi-nmilliOnaire,
had received the magnificent
stone which was supposed to have
been lost in the China sea.
The Walsh's combined wealth
makes them the richest people In
Washington, and their baby is
known as the hundred million
dollar baby"
NAoJ OtiC o"hStt III
For years the huge brilliant has
been lost to the world, and def
mite knowledge of it's fate has
been denied the public until to-
night, when Mr. Mclean, who is
the! son of John r. Mclean, the
wealthy publisher of The Cincin-
natl Enquirer and The Washington
Post, admitted that he has
bought the stone from a New York
syndicate of jewellers.
These jewellers purchased the
diamond in Paris three months
ago, receiving it the same week
that May Yohe, once it's possess
or, declared in Seattle inter
view that she had positive inform
alton that the stone had not been
lost in the China sea, as popular
| Iy believed.
The glittering gem, weighing
"A Y carats, now reposes among
the collection of many other cost
ly gems, locked in the vaults at
the Mclean residence.
Washington's feminine society
stands aghast at the realization
that the greatest 'hoodoo" of in
ternational history is to be defied
by one of their number. Mrs.
Mclean is regarded as the more
remarkable owner because she is
among a few of the most fortunate
women in all the world. Blessed
with uncountable wealth, position
and happiness, she, of all others,
to consider it from the supersti-
tious standpoint, would be the last
to risk iicurring the curse that
by many is regarded the worst
an inanimate object ever bore
a "hoodoo' that is credited with
the overthrow of two European
dynasties, with assassination,
madness and the destitution-in
every case the ultimate fate of
the possessor to come under the
mage spell.

Phillips was the star witness
