GRAVE CAUSE FOR DISPUTE
Romantlcists and Others Have oppor.
tunity to squabble Over This
Happening.

The Winans will has upset the the
ory Of the cynics that romance Is dead
in the world. Here Is an innkeeper's
daughter who receives a fortune Of
100000 just for being kind to an old
man. In all her dreams of the future
she never thought of being able to
present to the Prince Charming that
would eventually come along such a
princely dover. She went about her
work delivering the milk and cream
from her fathers dairy, little think
ing that the old gentleman, who year
after year was her fathers guest,
was all along planning to make her a
rich heiress as a reward for her lit
tie kindnesses. The picture is idyllic.
Unfortunately, some of the rightful
heirs Of the deceased multimillionaire
fail to see the poetry of it and have
already given notice of contest.
There is son who has been cut of
with a paltry 100000 and there are
two grandchildren who have been en-
tirely forgotten. In the case Of the
son the will is particularly significant,
since the relative smallness of the
amount can be traced to the fathers
disapproval of a marriage that was
wholly romantic. The cynics may still
claim that their contention is support
ed by the courts.

Lament Religious Apathy.

In Japan all kinds Of Christians are
lamenting the religious stagnatlon that
seems to have settled on the country,
says a writer in America, a Roman
Catholic paper. OF the $1,000 Catho-
lies, 10000 are descendants of the con-
verts Of the seventeenth century, and
the Greek Catholics have only 10000
followers. After 40 years of evange-
lization there are only somewhere be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 Protestants
Of all sects," says the writer, who adds
that the Japanese are not irreligious,
but like other peoples they are suf-
fering from the religious apathy and
unconcern Of the times. Just as In
Europe and America, the modern jap
anese adore the golden calf and, as
elsewhere, are struggling for money
and place, the natural result Of the
adoption Of a materialistic civiliza-
ton"

THE NEW HOMESTEAD LAW.

Congressman Medley of the Sew
elth District of Kansas, has written
this paper that the bill that recent
ly passed the House and Senate,
shortening the time for proving up
On homesteads from five to three
years, was signed by President Taft
Thursday of last week, and is now a
law. The bill, as agneed upon by the
eonferees, is practically the same as
1t was when it passed the House,
which carried some amendments from
the original bill. The new law pro
Tides for a reduction of time in max
ing final proof on a homestead, from
five to three years, and gives a five
months leave of absence each year.
1t also provides that one-sixteenth of
the land shall be in cultivation at
the end OF the second year, and one
eighth at the end Of the third year.
It also gives the eutryman from six
months to one year to make settle
nent, if he so desires. A homestead
er can run the five yeans, as he did
before, also, if he so desires. An
other important phase of the bill is
one that releases the heirs of a de-
ceased entryman from being com
PEELED to live on the land.
Parties who are now homesteaders
and have not been on their land five
years, may take advantage of the
law and prove up at the end of three
years. For instance, if a man filed
On his land one year ago, he can
prove up in two years more.

Where Russian oficer Of Embassy
Proved More Than Match
for Abdul Hamld.

D.plomatists abroad tell how a dis
tinguished member Of the Russian
corps diplomatique cleverly outwitted
Abdul Hamid, the late Sultan Of Tur-
key. The Russian displayed a curious
ingenuity In introducing the business
Of his country In the guise of personal
pleasure.
1t appears that the Sultan had abso-
lutely refused to grant an audience to
any member Of the diplomatic body at
Constantinople and that during the
period In question Abdul Hamid spent
the greater part Of his time in cock
fighting, an amusement whereof he
was passionately fond.
The Russian heard that his imperial
majesty stood in need of fresh birds
to supply the place Of those killed In
fight, whereupon the willy Muscovite
procured a flne-looking white fowl Of
the barnyard species, caused It to be
trimmed and spurred to resemble q
gamecock, and sent 1t in richly deco
rated cage to the Sultan.
The ruse was successful, but the
Sultan, at first delighted with the gift,
soon sent for the diplomatist to ex-
plain, If he could, why his bird had
shown no inclination to fight. The
Russian went, examined the bird In
the presence Of Abdul Hamid, and
with great establishment and regret
acknowledged that 1t was quite unable
to cope with the royal gamecocks,
which were undoubtedly Of a superior
breed.
A conference followed on the subject
OF gamecocks in general; and when
this was finished the Muscovite sue
ceeded in drawing the Sultan in q
mood for conversation Of a different
character, and in time adroitly intro
duced the political matter he had so
long awaited an opportunity to discuss.
After long interview he returned to
his embassy triumphant over his COL
leagues.-Harper's Weekly.

Wellesley College In Lead.

Wellesley college is said to have
more graduates in the mission field
than any other woman's college in
this country. Gertrude Chandler, OF
the class Of 1879, now Mrs. Mychoff,
was the first Wellesley missionary in
the field. She went to Bombay imme-
diately after taking her degree in the
first class graduated from Wellesley.
The college is represented in the mis-
sion field Of every country in Asia
with the single exception Of Korea.
There are Wellesley missionaries scat.

BRYAN, JR.,FREED
Of NEGRO SDEATH
Commoner'S Son in Yacht
Which Run Down Skiff,
Drowning 0arsman.

LANCASTER, VA. Oct 15.-William
J. Bryan, Ir., of Nebraska, who has been
spending some time at Hayfield, his faith
in-law's Virginia estate, was absolved
from all blame for an accident in Carriers
creek, when Abe Carter, an aged negro,
was drowned after his skiff had been run
down by yacht in charge of Mr.. Bryan
and party of friends.
Mr.. Bryan and party left Hayfield in a
steam yacht bound down the Rappahan-
mock river for Washington. They were
overtsken by night and decided to go
INTO Carriers creek and spend the night at
Livingston
Whlle approaching that village, with all
lghts up, Mr.. Bryan, who was standing
on the prov of the yacht to observe the
buoys along the channel saw a man row
ing skif across the path of the yacht.
He ordered the yachts engine reversed
and cried warning to the man. which
came too late. the yacht striking the
SKIN. overturning it and sending the oc-
cupant to the bottom. The body was
found today.
coroner James summoned a jury and
heard the evidence. He eXonerated the
Bryan party and they left for Washington
