To Restore chartreuse Monastery.

Tourists in all parts of the world
will be interested to learn that the
famous Grande Chartreuse monastery,
which has been sadly neglected OF
recent years, is to be repaired and
restored by the French authorities.
Every year it is visited free by $4,000
tourists, and if small entrance fee
we're charged the monastery could be
kept in good condition. The Grande
Chartreuse was founded by st. Bruno
in 1884, and in 1882 it was completely
destroyed by an avalanche, but was
reconstructed soon after. Between
tie fourteenth and seventeenth CEN
turtles it was destroyed by fire eight
times, and rebuilt on the same site.
The last fire took place in 1876, when
the famous monastery was recon-
structed as it remains today, prac-
tically no change having been made
during the last 236 years. 1t is a
venerable monument of French re-
ligious architecture, situated in a
picturesque site midst the Dauphiny

WEDDING TRIPS IN THE AIR
Aercp plane Honeymoons Preferable In
Some Ways to Those Of
Ordinary Sort.

There is much to be said In favor
of aeroplane weddings, but we shall
say only a little Of it on a day like
this, remarks the Newark News.
Let us indicate briefly few
salient features of this new social in
stitution.
The aeroplane wedding solves the
problem of the getaway. When the
happy couple depart in an airship
their loving friends cannot scare the
horses into running away and break
ing the brides neck.
Nor is it possible for them to throw
high enough to blacken the bride
groom's eyes with old shoes The
newly-wedded pair are, in fact, in a
position to lombard the wedding
guests if they so desire.
A five-pound boot dropped on a
wedding guest from a height of $50
feet ought to bring him a tremend-
GUS amount of good luck, according
to the traditions of wedding festivity.
An aeroplane honeymoon ought to
be fascinating. Imagine sailing along
all day without having to stand the
bold, bad gaze of a patent leather
drummer in the seat across the aisle.
Fancy being too far up in the clouds
to hear the ribald whistle of the
young loafers at the railway station.
But airship honeymoons are as
sure to come to an end as the other
kind. In a careless moment the
bridegroom will say:
"You do very nicely at the levers,
my DEAR but your figure Fights are
nothing like mother used to make"
A new form of wedding announce
ment will have to be prepared for the
society reporters, in part as follows:
"Mr. and Mrs. Winger left imme'
diately after the ceremony for an ex-
tended aviation tour in France. If
they return they will reside at 26
Laurel road"
Aeroplane marriages are highly
dangerous, perhaps, but all kinds
are, for that matter.

To. Raze Historic House.

Having purchased the historic
house at Van Cortlandville, near
Peekskill, Walter S. Hamilton of
Nyack will raze the edifice and re-
place it with a fine modern home.
During the Revolutionary war the
old building was a popular wayside
inn. being regular stopping place
for parties of Washington's troops as
they went up and down the Hudson
river. And the general himself often
visited the place for rest and refresh
ment.
A platoon Of soldiers guarding
Major Andre after his capture took
an early morning breakfast there on
December 26, 1880. Efforts made by
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton to save the premises from de-
struction seem to have met with no
success.

Polite for the Pastors Benefit

Little Mary was not especially noted
for her table manners so that on sew
eral occasions she had dined on the
kitchen cabinet when there was COM
pany in the house. But the dinner
prepared for the new minister was
entirely too tempting to be passed
over lightly, SO she resorted to all
kinds of promises for the privilege of
coming to the table.
True to her word Mary was on her
very best behavior, but she did SO
want second piece Of cake and, the
plate was over by the minister, entire
ly out of her reach. After giving the
matter considerable thought she fold
ed her hands meekly and exclaimed;
"Mr. Blair, please pass the cake fol-
Jesus e!"-Kansas City Star.

Truth About Old ACE.

TAFT AS A POLITICIAN

It is sometimes said of President
Taft. as If it were a reproach, that he
is no politician This or that failure
to estimate popular temper, to be
skilful in cajolery of some prevailing
whim is assigned as a reason for de-
traction.
And yet, is this a year when the
people are looking for skilful poll
ticians? Are they not rather out Of
date in the popular mind? Don't
they rather want men of the business
type, who devote themselves to eff
cheney without grand stand plays?
So 1t seems to many people. One of
the principal bases of the Bull Moose
campaign is denunciation of poll
ticians and bosses. And yet, is there
a more adroit politician than the Big
Bull Moose? Is there a man in the
country who looks more at questions
from a non-political business view
pint than Mr. Taft2
Mr. Taft has a way Of going ahead
with what he believes to be right re-
gardless Of popular clamor From
the older viewpoint. that is not good
politics. The politician of yesterday
always kept his ear very close to the
ground. If he heard a passing step.
he thought it was the armies of the
people, and he took to his heels for
the tall timber
A man of that type gets little done.
He IS so intent on the veering cur
rents of opinion that he cannot stick
to any one program long enough SO
that the voters become interested in
it.
Mr. Taft has accomplished large
volume Of liberal and useful legisla-
ton. He is not a good advertiser. He
needs a press agent But simply by
saying nothing and saving wood, he
has got a lot of good things done de-
voting a lot Of time to studying the
needs Of the people. and very little tc
caucusing with politicians.
IS not that the type of man you
pick when YOU have any big job to be
done?

THE EMPEROR OF ROME.

The newspaper dispatches of a few
days ago recorded that the king Of
Italy was about to assume the title
Of emperor of Rome This may or
may not be sure but, in any event, It
will no doubt bring forth protests
from the pope
There is a question as to whether
the Italian sovereign has the right to
assume such a title Reading in the
very first chapter of Bryce's Holy
Roman Empire we find:
.Of those who in August, 1906.
read in the English newspapers that
the Emperor Francis II had announc-
ed the Diet his resignation Of the inn
perial crown, there were probably
few who reflected that the Oldest po-
litical institution in the world had
come to an end. Yet It was so. The
Empire which a note issued by a
diplomatist on the bank Of the
Danube extinguished. was the same
which the crafty nephew OF Julius
had won for himself, against the pow
ers of the East. beneath the cliffs Of
Actium' and which had preserved all
most unaltered, through eighteen cen
turtles of time. and through the great
est Ranges, In power. in character. a
title and pretensions from which all
meaning had long since departed "
If any sovereign had the right tc
assume the imperial Roman title It
would seem that the present head OF
the Hapsburg house. the Austrian
kaiser, has the most claim to the title

TAR AS FUEL.

The action Of the Standard Oil com
pany in refusing to sell any more
crude oil vitally affects the big steel
plants in this region Many com
panies found crude oil an excellent
fuel distinguished both for its cheap
ness and the heat it gave The In
land steel works secured It's crude oil
by means of pipe line to the Whit
ing refneries nearby These COM
panies must now resort to tar burn
ing for fuel purposes. Tar is a coke
