 The best Bed for a Camp CTS use, all things eonsid- cred, is the Telescope Cot of brown canvas, the very style which was carried Tby Col. Roosevelt on his expedition into Africa. This cot when packed Up makes a small, compact bundle about thirty inches long, and it can be easily carried in a common shawl strap. One person can set it up. It bears a high test for strength and certainly looks comfortable.

FIRST THINGS

Fifty-four years ago to-day the New China" had it's birth, since it was on June 29, 1858, that the repre- sentative of the Emperor signed the treatyeof Tien-tsin, the document that opened the doors of the ancient em- pire to the Occidental world and gave the people of China their first concep- tion of the meaning of modern Ameri- can and European progress While the forces of conservatism have fought valianuy against the new, order in China, they have fought in vain,a as recent events have shown The treaty of Tien-tsin formed the oben- Ing wedge by forcing the Chinese to agree to receive British ambassadors, tolerate Christianity, permit foreign CTS to trade in Chinese ports and to cease referring to Europeans and Am ericanss as sbarbarians."

BIIJETTFORSALJNING OPENS
 TO-DAY FOR FIFTH OLYMPIAD

They're off at the Bil5ettforsaljning That is Swede for Stadium, where the fifth quadrennial Olympiad is to be formally inaugurated to-day. Target shooting, lawn tennis and other minor events will occupy the period between now and July T., when the real games begin. That the United States will again be returned the victor is admit ted by the athletic experts of many nations who have lpoked over the 15O husky young nlHna who are due in Stockholm to-day. Five times since the games of the ancient Greeks were revived and Modernized the wearers of the Stars and Stripes have finished first, and the United States team this year is generally declared to be stronger than any. of it's predecessors. The Stadium-once is enough for the Swedish translatfon-wifl accommodate 40 GOO people, and on the big days it is likely that all the seats will be occu- pied. All of the best seats have been reserved for the entire games, and the occasional visitor will. have to be com set aside for the daily patronag ge. De- spite the best efforts of the manage ment, it is probable that large part of the tickets for these will fall into the hands of spectators. The loca- tion of the Stadium is ideal, as it is WlIulIl easy WdlhiuS utSlduce Ol the very heart of the Swedish capital The Bil-that is, the Stadium-is intended to be a permanent structure, and has been made a thing of beauty that will be joy forever, or some time, to the sport-loving Swedes. It is of brick, but not the glaring red kind-more of violent color-and of purple gray granite. The architecture is simple and graceful At one end the plain ness is relieved by an open arcade, and at the other end the building backs against hill. Two watch towers have Jbeen erected ~on the hill, from which names and events will be signalled. The seats are a purplish- gray to harmonize with the brick and granite, and all except the rows of seats immediately in front are roofed over. The Stockholm building is not nearly so large as the Shepherds Bush Stadium. but this is an advantage rather than otherwise, as in the Eng fish edifice all the proportions were dwarfed by the distances. The Swe- dish Olympic Committee, in listing rooms for visitors, has placed the maximum amount to be charged at ten kroner, or about $275, day, while many rooms are to be had at half that amount.

The funny little Kingdom was so comic in itself. that he decided that 6rt touldf,t improve upon sit-so he took Prince .Danilo-clothes, w1iskers, habits, and everything and bodily put him into, the cast, without even bOth- ering to change the name of his char aeter The original of the Merry Widow" 1t has been alleged, was the Princess Radmovio, to whom the Prince was said to have paid violent attentidns. fOrgetfuls of the fact that lie was asTnarfied, man with a family of children.

Perhaps that is the hexplanation of why the heir to the throne has re- formed his ways since the undesir- able notoriety he gained through '"The Merry Widow
 The, Princess Radmoxic is described as everything that is charming, and, besides, z is the widow of one Of the richest men in Montenegro. Franz Le- har. the composer, had met both the widow and the Prince in Paris before hetembarked on his daring scheme of setting them and their country to mu- sic: Only at one thing did Lehar balk. He did not call the country of his stage setting Montenegro. It is said in Paris that for a time, he con templated even that enornity, but was persuaded by friends that it would be unwise., So Montenegro appeared on the playbills as Marsovia. It was some time before the news of the wicked thing '-that is what the Montenegrins call the opera-reached Cettinje, the capital. When it did, the King-he was then only a Prince, but shortly after he proclaimed himself King be- ing the parliament and the Judiciary and the entire government of Monte negro, passed a law prohibiting the mention, of the thing" within. the bor- ders of the country.
