LAND OF OUR FOREFATHERS
Edward ETerett's Tribute to England
as the Cradle and Refuge of
Free Principles.

For myself | can truly say that
after my native land | feel tender
ness and a reverence for that of my
fathers. The pride ! take in my own
country makes me respect that from
which we are sprung. The sound Of
my native language beyond the sea
is music to M ears beyond the rich
est strains of Tuscan softness or Cas-
lillian majesty.
am mott need not say l am not
the panegyrist of England. I am not
dazzled by her riches nor awed by her
power. The scepter, the inter and
the coronet, stars, garters and rib
bons seem to me poor things for great
men to contend for
But England is the cradle and the
refuge of free principles. though often
prosecuted; the school OF religious
liberty, the more precious for the
struggles through which it has passed;
she holds the tombs of those who have
reflected honor on all who speak the
English tongue; she is the birthplace
of our fathers, the home of the Pill
grims; it is these which l love and
venerate in England
I should feel ashamed of an enthu-
siasm for Italy and Greece did not
also feel it for land like this In
al American it would seem to be de-
generate and ungrateful to hang with
passion upon the traces of Homer and
Virgil and follow without emotion the
nearer and palmer footsteps of
Shakespeare and Milton l should
think him cold in love for his native
land who felt no melting III his heart
for that other native country which
holds the ashes of his forefathers-

Mr.. Spiegelhausen found 1t hard to

morning After trying various I'M

postal cards to himself and address

which ever he happened to be In at
the moment. Thus the last mail
would bring to the house one or more
cards with such a memo. scrawled
upon it: Remind Mrs s. to give
my coat to cleaner and vice versa
the first mail downtown would re-

NoGI ORDERED TO HARRY
Japanese Hero Took Bride Practically
at the Command of His Su-
perior Officer.

The Countess Nogi was a woman no
less remarkable In many ways than
her famous husband The circumstan-
ces of her marriage with Nogi. when
he was a brilliant young officer, are
unusual in the extreme. especially in
Japan.
She was the daughter of Sadayoki
Yoji, and one day she was sitting in
the window of her fathers house in
Tokyo watching the troops march
past, when she saw a gallant young
officer in command and Immediately
fell in love with him Her father
found it out and found cut who the
officer was. and later Nogi was ap-
preached to bring about a match
He would not hear of il. as he had
dedicated his life to the nation and did
not intend TO marry But the young
lady would not endure this attitude.
and her father approached. one Of the
high officers, a superior of Nogi's. and
this officer fell in with the idea at
once, saying the match would be most
suitable and it was Just what Nogi
should do
The word was given from above to
the young officer, and Nogi practically
married Miss Yoji at the command of
his superior officer. The union turned
out to be an ideal one, as the subse-
quent history of the pair and their two
brave sons has proved. The Count and
Countess Nogi are regarded by the ma
tion as the most exemplary couple that
could be found anywhere. She was
every inch as much a Samurai as he
was.-Tokyo correspondence of Lon

ECZEMA ON BACK AND CHEST

Pierson, N. Dakota.-"The eczema
started on my scalp. 1t finally went
On to the back of my neck, then on to
my back, arms and chest. 1t broke
out In pimples first and then seemed
to run together in some places, maxi

At times the itching and burning were
so intense that it seemed unbearable.
The more scratched it the worse 1t
became, and there would be slight
discharge from 1t, especially on my
scalp, SO as to make my hair matted
and sticky close to the scalp. The
hair was dry, lifeless and thin. My
hair was falling SO terribly that had

What Becomes Of IndIa's Gold

VVVoS oSSOUSp VI lu0s0 S0Ius
A royal commission has been ap-
pointed by Great Britain to discover
what India does with all the gold it
takes away from the rest Of the world
In the last ten years India has drawn
more than $65;OOO,0O0 Of gold. which
is almost one-fourth of the worlds
production in that time, from the west
ern world. and the great part of 1t has
disappeared from the usual channels
of trade and finance. To draw this
immense amount from the commercial
world. and pay for 1t in goods, is, Of
course. an economic drain on India.
Yet 1t does not seem to suffer more
by the process than does the rest Of
the world when, thinking it has gold
for general use, 1t discovers that the
part of it's imagined supply which goes
to India is lost as completely as If
