IMAGINARY TALKS IN FRANCE
Attitude Of Rich Americans Toward
French People ls Said to 30
Thus Revealed.

Gil Bias reports an imaginary con.
versation at the Deauville Casino, the
participants being William X. Wander

the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
what attracts me to France says
one. rs the charm and ease Of life

Do you suppose all French people

Qualities Of 4 Lady,

One Of the first qualities Of lady is
a low voice. Not whispering voice,
one must speak loudly enough to be
under3tood. One reason why some
people have to talk loudly in order to
make themselves understood is that
they do not articulate plainly. Pro
nounce your words clearly and careful
ly, round out each syllable and even
though you speak in low voice you
will be understood. Do not talk too
rapidly. A lady never gives the ap-
pearance Of being hurried, and be-
cause she is leisurely the cultured
woman never forgets the. little courte-
sizes which she owes to others. The
courtesies are shown in very quiet,
unassuming manner, for the lady
never cares to attract attention to
her own actions. Neatness Of dress
is one Of the hall marks Of the lady.
The girl who wears fashionable top
clothes and torn, untidy underclothes
need not expect to earn the title of
lady. The refined girl keeps her per-
son and her possessions neat, no mat
ter II they are not seen by another
person. beside herself She always
dresses in good taste. Both her dress
and her manner are quiet and re-
served In public.-Exchange.

Laws Govern Austrian Service.

A new law for lower Austria, con-
tanning various regulations concerning
servants, has gone into force, replac.
ing one over a century old. The first
provision Of the new law DEGREES that
servants must no longer be called
Servants" but employees" The EN-.
ployer must feed the servant proper
ly, and the servant Is forbidden to
chatter or gossip to other servants
about the private affairs Of the family.
1t is not stated how this provision
shall be enforced. Girls are legally
entitled to go out for seven hours
once fortnight. The mistress Of the
house is no longer forced to write a
character" Of truthful, honest and
industrious" in the book" of dismiss
sal servant. In the past failure to
do this meant possible proceedings
for libel. The mistress may now
leave character" blank.

Safeguarding Letters.

From the days of antiquity It has
always been a problem unsolved how
to insure the secrecy Of letters. A
Trenchman named Phion claims, how
ever, to have discovered the real
method, which is as simple as the egg
Of Columbus. The invention is thus
described: The envelope looks very
like an ordinary one, but the tongue
is in kind Of loop, prolonged SO as to
fit the gummed end Of the upper right
hand corner, which is slit. The tongue
is inserted, and further fixed by the
stamp struck over 1t. The system is
simplicity itself. and, except for rip
ping open the envelope or tearing off
the stamp, 1t is impossible to get at
the letter inside.

New Potato Disease.

A serious canker disease is reported
to have developed in the potato crop
Of Great Britain and Continental Eu-
rope, which Is not only affecting the
farmlands on which potatoes are
grown, but is also decidedly injurious
to the health Of the consumers Of af-
fected potatoes. The disease Is char
acterized by nobular excrescences,
which are often larger than the po-
tato itself. Boiling does not destroy
the injurious properties. 1t is known
that a potato canker has found its
way into Newfoundland with potatoes
imported from Europe, but no such
disease has yet appeared in Canada.
nor, 80 far as known. in the United
States.

during the recent campaign in, Cali

AT RISK OF HIS LIFE.
REV. DR.. PALMoRE VISITED THE
TOMB OF AARON.
Mosque 10 Nothing Much to See, but
Religious FanatIclsm Of the Ma.
tIves Makes the Journey Ono
Of Great Danger.

Rev. Dr.. William B. Paimore Of st.
Louis. who has Just completed tour
Of Europe and the Orient. said that
his most remarkable exploit was a
recent nocturnal expedition at the
risk Of his life to the tomb on Mount
Hor, in Arabia Petrea, which Is re-
vered by three religions as the burial
place Of Aaron. brother Of Moses. and
first high priest Of the Hebrew theoc-
racy.
Late on the last night of his stay In
Petrea DR.. Pafmore silently stole out
of the city, attended by his guide and
soldiers.
When the little party at last stood
alone on the mountain top and saw
the desert sleeping far below they
found the mosque to be a ramshackle
building Of white stones rudely piled
together and surmounted by a round
ed dome. The guide without scruple
applied his stolen key to the lock and
the door swung open.
II found myself In a chapel about
40x40 feet, ,"says DR.. Palmore. "Ac-
cording to the Moslem custom. 1t con-
tained neither seats nor affairs. It
was completely bare save that in the
center stood a cenotaph. or empty sar-
cophagus, covered by q green cloth.
Carved in stone was an inscription in
Hebrew so nearly obliterated by time
that could not decipher 1t. I calcu-
lated that the inscription was more
than 1000 years old, There was also
a legend carved on the cenotaph In
modern Arabic.
II had little time to waste, for I
was confident that II the Arabs in the
valley discovered my departure and
traced me to the mosque they would
kill me. In one corner I discovered a
hole in the floor, revealing a flight Of
stairs cut in the rock and leading
downward.
Holding my candle aloft, descend
ed the steps and found found myself
in an unlighted cave Of no great size.
Like the mosque. It was bare and
rude. But across one end were
stretched two chains like sentinels
against .ntruders and behind them
hung a tattered curtain.
Il stepped over the chains and
swept the curtain aside. The sealed
entrance to natural vault was re-
vealed and this vault was the tomb Of
Aaron"
There was little time for sacred rev.
erie, for. II day broke before he de-
scended the mountain, his errand
might be detected and avenged by the
Arabs Of the valley. So DR.. Pal
more, after touching the sealed vault
reverently with his hand, ascended
the stairs, passed through the
MOSQUE and stood again in the open
air
His guide gravely locked the door
and concealed the key once more in
his garments. The party made its
way safely back to Petra without dis
covery, and within a few hours was
miles away on the return trip north.

For q moment we had thought him

"'Twas here they kept them-ia-

We saw before us q sort of vault,
stone built, and low and long. The
light there was too dim for US to
make out anything but balls. and
heaps of rusting scrap iron cast out
there and moldering down. But try
ing to pierce that darkness we be-
came conscious Of innumerable eyes
gazing. not at US, but through the
archway where we stood; innumer-
able white eyeballs cleaning out Of
blackness. From behind us came a
little laugh. It loated past through
the archway toward those eyes. Who
was 1t laughed in there? The old
south itself-that incredible. fine, lost
soul! That "old time" thing Of old
ideals, blindfolded by its own his
tory! That queer. proud blend Of
simple chivalry and tyranny Of piety
and the abhorrent thing! Who was
1t laughed out of that old slave mar
ket, at these white eyeballs glaring
from out Of the blackness Of this dark
cattle pen? What poor departed

But there was no ghost when we

with her sweet smile.

time; old southern families-bought

the bells to all the rooms. Broken, !,

And rather quickly we passed away
out Of that. ''old time place." where
something had laughed. and the drip,
drip, drip Of water down the walls
was as the sound Of a spirit grieving.

LAFOLLE1TE
HAS ANOTHER
"STATEMENT"

Lincon, Neb., April S.-Immediately
following LaFollette's departure from
Lincoln today for the third day of his
campaign tour in Nebraska, a state
ment prepared by the senator, Sunday
was given out by his secretary, max
ing public his statement OF the facts
in regard to the topping" of Clifford
Pinchot, Medill Mccormick, Governor
Johnson Of California and others from
LaFollette to Colonel Roosevelt. The
statement is in the form OF a telegram
to Rudolph Spreckles of California. the
millionaire reformer who is leading
LaFollette's fight in that state, in
tended to meet stories circulated there
by Roosevelt men to discredit the
badger senator's candidacy for presi-
dent. The statement was called forth
by telegram from Spreckles convey
ing the information that johnson is
using a purported telegram In which
Pinchot had been instructed to throw
his support. Pinchot is said to seek
to fasten the responsibility for his
change on Walter S. Houser, LaFol-
lette's campaign manager. asserting
that Houser had consented to the
withdrawal OF the support from the
wisconsin man to Roosevelt.
