TRIBUTE TO SCHOOL.
MahRrajah Writes Six Volumes
About His Alma Mater.

London, Feb. 4.-A new record for an
''old boys tribute to his school has been
made by the Maharatsh OF Bhavnagar
in the history OF Rajkumar College.
Rajkot. which has just been published
here.
The Maharajah was a pupil at the col
lege, as his father was before him. and
he testifies to his love and appreciation
of his old school in six bulky volumes
and an index. Each volume is gorgeous
ly bound. or one might almost say up
holstered. in red cloth. ornamented with
gilt scroll work. The leaves are gilt
edged. and every page is decorated with
an elaborate red scroll work encircling
the text.
Hosts Of illustrations are scattered
throughout the six volumes. the whole
representing. as is stated in the preface,
enormous pains and perseverance,. to
say nothing of expense"
The Rajkumar College is one of two
o., three seminsries specially established
in India under the guidance of the gov
eminent for the training and education
of the sons Of chiefs. One of the most
interesting of the old scholars was Ran
jitsnhji. famous in this country for his
cricket. and II is interesting to learn that
even in his college days he was the
best all-arounG player in the college"
Copies Of the work have been presented
by the Maharajah TO King George and
Queen Mary.

Milan. Feb. 24.-The notorious Abruz-

ceived the royal pardon. after under
going forty-six years imprisonment, in
the course of which he never asked a
favor from anybody nor broke the

He was terrified on seeing a passing
automobile, and when for the first time
he saw man riding a bicycle he cried

The officials supplied him with a rail-

Paris, Feb. 2L-why Mime. Sarah
Bernhardt is not decorated is a mystery
to many of her friends and the general
public. She has now told us her secret.
1t is simply because TO obtain the Le-
Gion OF Honor she was asked to reply
TO a certain number of questions, and
she would not reply. She has nothing
to conceal, she says, yet there are GER
tain things which IL is not necessary
that everybody should know.
She was just entering her box after the
fourth act of ''Lucrezia Borgia'' when
she was asked the reason why once more
her name was omitted from this years
list OF promotions. She answered almost
in a temper:
What "Divine Sarah" Says.

minder that people are trying TO cause
me pain by refusing me the decoration.
1t is a pain-a great, unmerited pain.
I never asked for the Cross of the Le-
Eion. l did not even desire il. but some
six years ago my friend, the late Catulle
Mendes, met me one day and said that
he had had a conversation with NJ. Bri-
and, and that he told him in a temper
that no government had yet proposed 10
decorate me. His remarks. he said. had
impressed the minister of public instruc-
ton, who said that he would have me
decorated. Mendes was so enthusiastic
that he communicated his delight 10 me.
and l confess that l was captivated by
the Red Ribbon, and thought it charm
ing.
But Immediately after this the admin
istration exigencies appeared. The chan
cellor of the order sent me a sheet con-
tanning a long list Of indiscreet QueS-
tons. The examiners wanted to pry into
every detail OF my artistic career and
even into my private life. L have moth

New Theory About Woman.
In a very able article that appeared
recently. ". Capus, the popular play
wright. cxpounded the theory that. the
lower the social scale of man, the more
use he has for woman. The work
man needs her to cook his food and
keep his home straight: To the shOpkeep-
er she is indispensable as his cashier.
bUt-always. according to NJ. Capus-the
higher the man rises the less important
the woman's role becomes. With the
workman she is the master: in the mid
ole classes she is the partner: and in
the higher strata she is nothing but the
companion.
There is no doubt that NJ. Capus the
ory is right when he speaks of the work.
man and the middle classes. but he for
gets that, II there are men, like the
scientists. like those holding high places
in the legal or political world, whose
positions are not Influenced by their
wives. there are men such as doctors
artists. and bankers who depend a great
deal upon the connections that the wife
makes for them. She brings people to-
gether at her dinner parties, her recep-
tions. and helps her husband not only
socially. but materially. She plays as
important a part In the lives OF these
Lis men as the workwoman. or ''bour-
geoise," in the lives of the small ones.
She is more than a companion. She is
Il partner. Women are never so happy
as when they are the wives Of rising
men, men who have not quite risen.

There is one daring impresario in our

seen, occupying 400 acres of ground
right in the heart of the city, and we
are building our exposition now so
that it will be ready on time. Many
of our buildings are already up and
most of our grading has been done and
we are planting our trees so that they
will have a three years growth by the
time the exposition opens. So you

times as large as either the Portland
or Seattle expositions, and as it is be-
ing held in city where the gates can

or cold, it is going to offer a mighty
fine opportunity to Idaho to make
splendid exhibit. We are building

something different from what she has

like to see Idaho take the subject of
irrigation as her theme and make her
exhibit along those lines. You could
reproduce some of your great irriga-
tion projects and show you wonderful
apple orchards actually growing just
as California is doing with regard to
her citrus fruit trees, or something
along that line. Now the reason for
