LEGENDS OF THE SWORD.
Curious Beliefs That lowered Rouni

Curious Beliefs That lowered Rouni
the Ancient Weapon.
Countless legends and superstitions
have attached to the sword since the
days when fighting was the principal
occupation of life. So highly was the
sword esteemed that Mohammed in
the Koran declared it TO be the Key
to heaven and hell"
The warrior or knight gave a name
to his sword. He vowed at the altar
never 60 draw it in a false cause. II
was his companion and friend and de-
seended from father TO son for many
generations. One sword named Broth
er of the Lightning had a golden hilt
inscribed with magic words. In times
Of peace these were said to be illegi-
Bile, but before a battle they glowed
red as blood"
IL was believed, moreover, that q
sword after long use acquired life Of
It's own. Many famous swords were
said 10 utter cries before battle, and
after a weapon had killed FIVE score
men it became blood hungry and leap
ed from its Scabbard at the approach
of a foe. Certain swords were said
TO refuse TO give a wound in bad
cause. Among these was the brand
Excalibur, which was given to King
Arthur by a fairy and which Richard
Occur de Lion profcssed to own.
In the east superstitious reverence Is
still paid 10 the sword. The Daimios

THE OPIUM TRADE.

II seems as though the only way the
use Of opium can be restricted to me-
dicinal purposes is to curtail its pro-
duotlon. There is law to regulate the
importation of opium in this country,
yet the frequence of arrests OF per-
sons who make a business Of selling
the drug TO victims Of the opium habit
force this law. Apparently as long
as opium is manufactured in large
quantities INSCRIPTIONS persons will
find some way to evade the law.
Some time next month-the exact
date has not yet been settle In

IN China II is said that the British

ture OF opium in India and has de
rived large revenue from the trade
but IL can better AFFORD TO lose $50.

There is no question as TO the attitude
o. a majority Of the British people 10
ward the opium trade OF India; they
are emphatically in favor OF abolish
ing the trafic in the drug except fol
medicinal purposes.
1t remains to be seen whether the
British government will be guided by
the will OF majority OF the British
people or by the merchants who are
making fortunes pandering TO the de
PRAYED tastes of victims OF the opium

During the war between Italy and
Turkey over the possession Of Tripoli,
the Italians seized two French vessels
and held them for some time, caus-
ing their owners considerable loss.
The Italians claimed that the captains
of the French vessels had violated the
neutrality laws. Great indignation was
expressed in France, and there was
talk of war over the incident. Better
counsel prevailed, however, and the
case was submitted to The Hague tri-
bunaI for arbitration.
A decision has just been rendered,
and Italy loses. She must pay for
holding one of the vessels the sum of
$4,000, and for holding the other.
$500 The total amount is insignifi-
cant so far as international affairs go,
but the case illustrates the value of
The Hague tribunal and the good
sense of submitting TO it international
disputes.

five or six centuries ago the town was

A party OF German Americans were
drinking beer and listening to an CT.
chestrion in a saloon with sawdust on
the floor and stunted evergreens stand
ing about in tubs. The sawdust they
fancied to be the turf OF the father
land: the eyergreens were to them the
fr trees Of their native forests; the or
chestrioa was the birds singing IN the
trees. Happy Imagination that can de-
rive comfort from such surroundings.
The conversation fell upon the ad--
vancement Of women. which Is attract
ing the attention Of the world today.
The advancement Of women ex-
claims Carl Becker centemptuously.
Rather the decline Of women. Fancy
our German mothers and sisters and
wives and sweethearts taking on as
the English suffragists are now doing
What would the fatherland be today?'
"Ach, Carl" retorted Hans Muller.
"you can never advance beyond the
little village in which you were born.
where the men and the women have
occupied the same relative position for
hundreds Of years. You are not up to
these times. in which fewer women
marry, and when women are obliged to
support themselves they will not be
content to play second fiddle"

and when it was served Carl Becker
began as follows:

There is a tradition there that some

nifty the clothing colonies" for any
hardship which the new order might
cause II was decided that these gentle
men should no longer be called upon

It out of his shilling a day. To reas-

brown, black and gray. While very
few still wear the blue suits, brass
buttons, felt hat, and all.
Most of them still make a brave at
tempt TO be military in bearing. But
for all but few the exertion is ter
rife. Some still have their buoyant
step, but for most the march is halt
ing and painful And some, who have
always marched before this year are
riding in carriages and automobiles
No wonder that in the average small
northern town eyes are wet with tears
as they watch the old Grand Army
march by again. The faces in the line
are mostly known to all. And some
are missed. The town knows the story
Of all of them.
l have a purpose in writing these
lines for this Memorial day. The point
l wish to make is that the Grand
Army is going. and going rapidly. Each
month now at the pension Office in
Washington 1000 names are struck
from the roll with the grim word
Dead closing each pension account
Four thousand month! These men
who went forth to give their lives for
the union 81 years ago hardly fell on
the battlefelds and in the fever hos
pitfalls at that rate.
The country needs a new sense of
the great debt owed to these men.
The country owes it to this dwindling
band to smooth out their declining
years. 1t ought to be easier for them
to get their pensions. They ought not
to be subjected to the annoying delays
and red tape that they have been sub
jected to in the past. Their pensions
ought to be bigger-a dollar a day is
not too much. Moreover. pensions
ought TO be paid more frequently
There has been introduced in congress
a bill providing for monthly instead of
Quarterly payment of pensions, and
hope it will pass. 1t is to be hoped
that the new commissioner of pen
sions will require that pension mat
tiers will receive more prompt treat
ment than they have heretofore, wher
old soldiers have been compelled tc
wait week after week. and month af
ter month, for their pension claims tc
receive even preliminary consideration

than in the actual handling of mer-
chandise Of any kind-came indica.
tons Of widening exports. The In
slant American manufacturers and
other producers felt less concerned
than they had been for many months
With the problem of supplying the de-
mands of their customers, they began
to push their foreign trade, with i'm
mediate results.
In April the value of the exports OF
domestic merchandise was $50, ZOO, 900
in excess of the figures for the CORE
spending month of 1912. Imports fell
OF more than $4,000, 900 in the same
time. The surplus of exports over
imports was less than $4,000, 900 in
April, 1912. Last month it was more
than $4,000, 900. For the ten months
eEding with April the excess of ex-
ports over imports was almost $685.
oOo, 1000, a margin which has been sur
passed but twice in the history of the
country.
Such facts tell an impressive story
| OF immense national resources and a
wide margin of safety in the foreign
trade of the country. Any serious
decrease in domestic trade would
quickly be followed by so great an ex-
parsion of the exports of American
products that many lines of industry
would find the loss at home wholly or
IN large part offset 1t is evident, also,
that there would be a rapid accumu'
lation of credits in Europe which
might be drawn upon for gold in case
of any monetary stringency on this
side Of the Atlantic.
This change, in turn, would tend
powerfully to stimulate large use Of
capital in the United Sntes in new
undertakings, with a trade and indus
trial revival the natural result. Ma
tional prosperity rests on wider and
surer base now than ever before. For
eign trade goes farther than at an!
other time in the country's history Il

activity.
