Washington, Aug. Physical valu-

seven years by specially organized
corps of men and will cost the gov
eminent from $1O,OOO,OOO to $15,OOO,-.
900 or more, according to plans of the
commission, presented to the house
appropriations committee.
The commission has asked for an
immediate appropriation of $1,5OO,0O0
for the organization of the corps of
engineers necessary to undertake the
work.
The plan presented by Secretary
George B. McGinty contemplates the
division of the country into five dis.
tricts containing approximately $4,000
miles of railroad each.
Mr.. McGinty explained to the com.
mittee that the estimated cost per
year of each of these district organiza-
tons with their groups Of field squads
would be about $384,3OO, or total per
year for the five divisions of nearly
32,000,000. In addition to this he esti.
mated that the accounting feature OF
the work would cost about $350,00O z
year and that the maintenance OF Z
valuation Office in Washington would
cost probably $4,000 a year.
Although the committee was skep-
teal Mr.. McGinty was confident that
the commission would be able to get
the field force organized through the
civil service commission by the first

interfered. but actually took away all OF

Cuba and retaining for ourselves Porto
Rico, Guam. and the Philippines.

into a discussion of the wisdom OF our
actions, desire TO emphasize the tre-
mendous difference between the old and
the new Monroe doctrine. This is not q
ease Of theories and arguments. but Of

In 1895 we declare that we are practically
sovereign on this cUntinent: in 1898 we

Zephine Humphrey, In the Atlantic.
1t IL hard to see how any one can think
of Rome as u dead city. Sometimes 1t
carries itself almost AZ ii ii had not yet
begun to live at all. 1t treats it's great
past as a glorious. solemn. and costly
throne on which it has climbed to sit aud
avail it's future. In the Sistine chapel,
in one of the trtangles devoted to the an
cestors of Christ. there is a woman who
seems to me to have taken the very atti-
tude of Rome She Is seated on the
ground. the common throne OF our race
and no less glorious. solemn. and cc-.ly
than any other seat.--and she leans with
one. elbow on her knee and her cheek
against her hand. The other hand hangs
down before her. empty, yet not ~nerveless,
a strong, vital hand, ready to grasp and
hold. Her whole bearing is that OF one
who waits. but there is no suggestion of.
vagileness or idleness about her. Her
head Is erect. and her wide eyes gaze for
ward, w steady and bright. What
~ II that she sees?
Even so. Rome gazes over the heads of
the present generations. not ignoring
them, hut pointing their attention for
ward with hers. absorbed In the wonder
full vision of things to come. We know
now that the vision of the woman in the
Sistine chapel was the first coming OF
Christ: but Roine's anti, .pation Is still
obscure to MS. Perhaps she does not see
1t clearly herself: She only divines II. But
she Is so very sure of 1t that We must be
sure. too.

DID THE COUNTESS
LOSE HER GARTER?


DID the Countess of Salisbury lose
her garter at the cour ball in 1910 and
aid King Edward III of England pick
IL up n rebuke his courtiers when
they smiled? Did he wear it himself.
ana AFTER placing it in position turn
20 nus frivolous guests and remark
nom SOFT qul NAL y pense" (shame to
him who evil thinks)? And upon this
incident was he led to the founding of
tne order of the Garter to teach chiy-
AIRY?
Inc popular tradition regarding this
STORY Is derived from Polydore Vergil
at court. While he was dancing with
q lady. presumably the Countes of
Salisbury, h lady CHANGED to drop
ner garter. when it was picked up by
the ! Observing that the incident
made n bystanders smile Significant
y, Eaward turned upon them with his
Ianillar and singing rebuke. And to
prevent any further innuendos he is
said to have tied the garter around his
own knee.
1t Is further stated that the king
that he would make this blue
ribbon SO glorious that all the courtiers
would desire 1t. Regarding the Incl
dent of Lady Salisbury, Sir Harris
Nichols points out: Nothing is more
likely than that in a crowded assem-
bly, a lady should accidentally have
p her garter: that the circum-
stances should have caused a smile
from the bystanders. and that on its
being up by Edward, he should
nave reproved the levity of his cour-
tiers by so happy and %chivairous an
exclamation. placing the garter at the
same time on his own knee, as Dis
honored be he who thinks Ill of it"
Several authorities writing on the
subject aver that 1t has absolutely no
foundation. in fact. at least, so far as
the forming of the Order of the Garter
Is concerned. as the king had decided
on its establishment. several years be-
Iore the incident at the ball. The rea-
son for its establishment was that in
l343 Edward III resolved to rebuild and
enDelifsh the great castle of Windsor.

erat centuries previous and where he
mad erected n established that noble
round table from whence SO many gall

should be celebrated every year at
Windsor Castle on st. Georges day.
In order to effect his purpose he sum-
moned together all the earls. barons
and knights Of his realm to inform
them Of his Intention. They heard 1t
with great pleasure. for. it appeared to
them highly honorable and capable Of
increasing love and friendship. Then

The first festival OF the order was held
on st. Georges day at Windsor in the
year 1874.
The Order of the Garter far exceeds
i'm honor and fame all chivalrous fra
ternities in the world. and there seems
to be little doubt but that the king re-
ceived the suggestion for naming his
order by some such incident as is re-
lated above. but whether or not Lady
Salisbury lost her garter. no n has
