SPANISH KING PLEADS TO SEE THE U. S

King Alfonso of Spain is likely to
pay visit to the United States some
time this summer. The Spanish gov.
eminent is now considering a pro-
posal which emanated from the king
himself, who has long desired to visit
America. He has several times made
similar proposals which have been
rejected by the government under
the mistaken notion that the animosi-
ties created by the war between
Spain and the United States are still
warm.
Since last year King Alfonso has
been combating this idea and has
been reinforced in his opinions by
the personal experiences Of Captain
Vincens. the Spanish attache at Lon
don, and another officer who visited
the Unitetd States last summer.
When Alfonso was in England in
August he sent for Captain Vincens
and questioned him about his trip to
the United States.

getting from the attache every
minute detail in regard to the United

EVENING CHAT
How the Other Half Lives.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

When Jacob Riis said that one half
| the world didn't know how the other
half lived l think he spoke bigger
truth than he knew.
| For there are many other classes OF
people who know as little each. how
| the other lives as do the rich and
poor.
Once upon a time woman whose
! life had been spent burning a per-
petual sacrifice of energy and time
and intellectual interests, and friend
ship with her husband and children
and health and nervous energy before
the altar of the house immaculate and
the routine all important, put rather
too large q quantity of the last two in
gradients into the sacrificial fire, and
as a consequence, had a nervous break
down, and was ordered by the doctor
to give up housekeeping for at least a
year. s.. l..s
Being a family physician. the doctor
took the liberty of suggesting that a
friend of his who had a large home in
a pleasant suburb, would be willing to
lodge the woman and her family
have since felt sure that this wise doc
tor was giving a prescription in that
advice. and was thinking of Jacob Riis'
philosophy, even if he didn't know it
himself.
For the doctors friend was the
other half of the world to this woman.
She was one of those wives to whom
housekeeping is not the whole bust
ness of life. She kept her home rea-
sonably clean and she always served
wholesome meals to her children, but
she possessed her possessions instead
of being possessed by them. and she
fitted the routine to her life instead
of her life to the routine. She was very
fond of music and sometimes after
brea kfast she would play Beethoven
Second Symphony before doing the
dishes. Her husband was a newspaper
man, and she kept in touch with the
news even if she didn't dust the house
every day. On Saturday mornins
when her Oldest boy was to be in an
important football game, she left the
cooking until afternoon that she might
witness that game.
OF course she sometimes erred on the
side of neglecting her house work for
things that she liked better, but surely
no more than the first woman erred
on the side of neglectlng other impor-
tant things because she liked house
work better.
1t was a tremendous experience fer
the visitor. She had vaguely known
that such women existed, but she lad
never come into such close contact
with the "other half At first, of course
she was Mortified: then she saw how
much happiness the "other half got
to wonder: and the wonder grew so
strong and went deep that it really
chcanged her outlook of life, and she
went back to her home a wiser as we'll
as a healthier woman.
What a lot of US there are who could
be benefited by finding out how the
other half lives.

Prof. Trent thought of the smartIy

of them he liked well and one he had
found so congenial in many ways that he
had seriously pondered paying court to
her; but now he was glad that he was

All of which means that the profess or

Yes, my dear" answered the profess

The idea that you shouldn't drink ice

who wanted something else in the re-

Pearl Armstrong, assisted by a dog,
put one of them out of business one
day last week. The children were out
herding and a bold coyote ventured
close to them, when the faithful dog
who considered it one of his duties to
protect the children, interfered. The
dog engaged the wolf in a catch as
catch can encounter but held on most
of the time and here is where Willie,
a boy of nine years, took a hand in
the proceedings. Armed with Il
broom handle, he sailed in and with
few we'll directed blows rendered
the animal unconscious and the dog
finished up the job. No doubt the

FROM OTHER PENS

FINANCING MODERN WARFARE.
War is possible only when the
treasury box is full. Soldiers may be
patriotic; they may be filled with en-
thusiasm for the flag; they may think
of glory, and go out to battle for their
native land. But, unless there be gold
In plenty in the vaults of the nation
behind the soldiers, the men in the
ranks will quickly be fafnished, and
no-warfare can develop. Ever since
the Boer war, political authorities
have been telling the world that the
cost of actual hostilities had become
SO great that in the future the ques-
ton of war or peace would rest with
the bankers. The nation, we were
told. that did not have the backing
of the strongest bankers and whose
financial credit was not of the Nigh
est, could not conduct campaign
lasting a month. Financing modern
warfare is an expensive operation.
and if a conflict of the first magni-
tude should break out the effect
would be a temporary panic in the
worlds markets. But even a second
rate war like that which has driven
Turkey out of Europe, and the third
rate conflict now raging between
Bulgaria and Servia, have already had
worse effect upon the markets Of
non combatants than upon the
financial affairs of the belligerents
Last week Berlin narrowly escaped a
panic in making it's semi-annual set
lieH1enlS, ana the Imperial German
bank continues to strengthen it's gold
reserves. Paris bankers have not
succeeded in really restoring gold
payments because they have failed to
induce the French people to release
to the market funds that were hoard
ed last spring when Germany and
France were strengthening their
military establishments. Last week
English consols declined to .72H, the
lowest price quoted since the present
rate of interest on consols was estab-
liShed. and all foreign government Sc
curities are today quoted at the low
est average prices in many years.
The depreciation in the aggregate is
tremendous. and it all accompanies
and follows unfinanced war between
secOnd-rate powers. The increased
cost of capital which raises the cost
of living and aggravates the social un-
rest throughout Europe, combines to
produce such a critical situation that
one wonders why the powers that be
permit such a state of affairs to ex-
list for a day. And one also wonders
whether it is not possible that some
secret intrigue is responsible for the
present state of political conditions
abroad, which makes it possible to
ignore the cost of modern warfare
