Marshal Bernadotte, whom Napoleon
the Great placed upon the throne Of
Gustavus Adolphus and Charles XII.
He began his reign minor. He was

Since his triumphal entry into Sa-
loniki the king has been accustomed
to take an afternoon walk to the IA
nous White Tower or to the cavalry
barracks In Lesser KAraburum. The
kings confidence in the people was so
great that he went abroad freely, &C
companied only by single equerry.
The danger Of this custom was appa-

repeatedly, but without avail, request
ed his majesty to permit the presence
of civil guards.
The new ruler soon may find his
country's frontier running north Of
Saloniki and Monastir. Saloniki prob
ably will be free port.
A few days ago four gendarmes
were ordered to follow the king. but
their presence was considered so OBJ
jectionable by his majesty that the
number was reduced to two. These

Id typewriter.

The carriage spring Of a typewriter
in the offices of Spring Hin college,
Mobile, broke at a time when the use
Of the machine was imperative. No
one about the college knew how to
repair the spring. AS there was
no time to send it to a repair shop
one OF the members Of the college
rugged up an ingenious device to do
The work of the spring. One end OF
a cord was attached to the carriage
and number OF expansion bolts and
washers were fastened to the other
end. There was no pulley available,
so an ordinary spool was mounted
on the typewriter frame by means OF
a piece of thick solder wire that
chanced to be in a box of old Junk
with the machine so repaired, the
stenographer was able to go on with

Pretty Tradition of Moss Rose.

A German tradition gives the origin
of the moss rose as follows: Once
upon a time an angel, having a mis-
sion of love TO suffering humanity,
came down 10 earth. He was much
erieyed al an the sin and misery he
saw, and all the evil things he heard.
Being tired he sought a place where
in to rest. but as it Jared with his
master. so it Jared with him, there
vas no room for him. and no one
would give him shelter At last he lay
down under the shade OF a rose, anu
slept till the rising sun awoke him
Before winging his flight heavenward
he addressed the rose and said, as ii
had given him the shelter which man
denied. it should receive an enduring
token Of his power and love, and so,
leaf by leaf. and swig by twig, the
soft green moss grew around the
stem. and there il is to this day. a
cradle in which the newborn rose
may lie, a proof. as the angel said

London, Nov 24-Members of the
Womens Social and Political Union
are jubilant over the promise OF votes
for women made by Sir Edward Car
son and other Unienist leaders who
are organizing the Provisional Gov
lernment Of Ulster"
With the sanction Of Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst. wired from Paris, the fol
lowing statement was issued today al
w. S. p. u. headquarters in Kingsway:
I'VE hail as great victory the an
nouncement that drafted articles of
the Ulster provisional government pro-
vide that womer shall have the vote
on the same terms as men in the cleo
ton OF the Ulster parliament.
The policy of the Woman's Social
and Political Union will therefore be
to do everything possible to prevent
the voting rights which Ulster men are
conceding to women being taken from
them by the liberal government. The
union will henceforth oppose the gov
ernment and the nationalist party with
more vigor than ever. because if the
government and John Redmond should
be successful in forcing the home rule
bill upon Ulster, women would be
robbed of the voting rights which Sir
Edward Carson and his colleagues are
prepared to grant to them under the
provisional government.
! During the autumn campaign the
Woman's Social and Political union
will increasingly advertise the fact that
a socalled liberal government is less
progressive wheer the rights of women
are concerned than their unionist op-
ponents, and that whereas the men
OF Ulster are ready 20 share their po
litical rights with women. those who
are responsible for the home rule agi
tation are not. The w. S. p. U. de
clares that there can be no return t6
the old position of affairs under whfcf
Ulster women like the women in Other
parts of the Kingdom had no contro
over law making. Whether they ars
under the rule of an Ulster or parlia
ment or OF the imperial parliament
they must in either case have the
4 vote"
