Fargo held her stately court no less
gaily for the stealthy doubt that was
creeping cover her spirit. She had
been so certain of what would hap
pen that evening that when her father
between cigars on the porch with
Judge Chalmers and Doctor SouthalD
had searched her out under flag
of truce, she had sent him to the
right about, laughingly declining to
depart before royalty. But number
followed number, and the knight in
purple and gold had not paused again
before her. Now the scarlet cloak
no longer Haunted among the
dancers, and the white satin gown
and sparkling coronal had disap-
reared The end of the next round
dance found her subsiding into the
flower banked alcove suddenly dis
trait amid her escorts sallies. 1t
was at this moment that she saw,
entering the corridor from the gar
den. the missing couple.

they stood closely, as lovers might;
but there was in both their faces a
something that resurgent convention

trembling reflection of that Tight
that never was, on sea or land
which was like death-stab to what
lay far deper than Katharines heart,
her pride. She drew swiftly back,
dismayed at the sudden verification
and for an instant her whole body
chilled.

neering. In 1894 he took out an Eng
fish patent for superseding canal locks
by inclined planes. He also inverted
about this time new method for
saving marble, a machine for spin
ming flax and another for making
ropes.
Soon after this he went to Paris,
and built submarine, the Nautilus.
This boat was tried in Brest harbor
in 1901 before a commission appointed
by Napoleon Bonaparte, and Fulton
succeeded in blowing up small YES
sci anchored there for that purpose.
Two years later at Paris he also was
successful in propelling boat by
steam power.
Fulton returned to America and in
partnership with Robert Livingston
constructed the first American steam
boat, the Clermont. This was
launched in the spring of 1907. and its
success caused a great sensation. The
principle of propelling boats by steam
was now proved. The Clermont was
soon established as regular passage
boat between New York and Albany.
Fulton built the Demologos, or
Fulton the First. for the United
states government during the years
1874 and 1915. This was the first
steam battleship ever constructed.

l. ROSTRUM

lie Editor of the Evening star:

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir--What on earth does Senator
MARITIME want to do away with some
little civil service for? Today 1t Is
only by civil service that the Demo-
Gratis get any chance of appointment
If left to the administration and the,
no, not kitchen cabinet, but rather
scullery counselors, only Republicans
will be chosen. The past proves this.
Take the postoffice department for
example. The seven last big Wash
inston jobs were given to Republicans
and not a single Democrat chosen.
NJ. o. Chance, now chief clerk, was
Taft secretary when Taft was secre-
tary of war. The power and influence
OF the chief clerk is great So is it
with the other half-dozen latest APP
pointments. To be a Democrat is to
be unfit and ineligible to hold office
under this administration.
Why?
Because it wants to perpetuate it
self. 1t would ignore that plank
which would bar denomination 1t is
reasoned every Republican is a new
recruit to serve for that purpose
That is the doctrine that President
Wilson is having preached to him by
his sscullery counsclors, headed by
Ollie James. the biggest man in Wash
ington, and whose wisdom is in in
verse proportion to his size
No, Senator MARITIME, let civil serv-
ice alone, buncombe as most of it is
Leave the appointments to the powers
that now rule in Washington and Re-
publicans will pluck all the plums.
NO OFFICE SEEKER.

Household rat Tariff.
tho phflsdelphia Record

From the Philadelphia Record.
Not all the burdens of taxation I'M
der which the community suffers are
laid by Republican tariff experts.
There are other experts. Among
them one of the most persistent and
hated is the common household rat.
He makes his leyies wherever and
whenever opportunity offers. and is
no respecter of persons. His ravage
takes in the farmers crops, the shop
keepers groceries, the ships cargo,
the householder's foodstuffs, the beg
CARS crust. the Widows .nise--any-
thing, anywhere, within the range of
his active search. Everyone knows
of his haunts, his habits AMI his un-
scrupulous and audacious plundering,
but few realize the extent of 1t. Sur
geon- General Creel, of The Cnited
States Public Health Service, lbs
made a study of the rat both from a
sanitary and economic stanhD ,in-. In
his capacity as a carrier Of tlag1e
and propagation of various diseases
the rat is a standing menace to the
nublic health. His determination
should be made a task of common eff
fort both on the part of individuals.
and municipalities. This Is the only
way to secure either san. tary or
economic safety.
DR.. Creel says the female rat be-
gins to reproduce her kind at the
early age of three months, and that
an adult animal will give birth dur
ing the year to six filters, each of
which comprises from six to twelve
young ones. He estimates the rat
population of America as constantly
equal to the human population, but
outnumbering the humans in country
districts. The upkeep of the rat
costs at least half cent daily
Based on this calculation of average
plundering, it is shown that no less
a sum than $167,o00,000 is sacrificed
annually by reason of rat depreda-
tons. The rat is simply scourge.
with no redeeming qualities. He eats
as heavily into the means OF SUD-
sistence as the sugar tax or the wool
tax, while contributing nothing to the
public treasury. A few million dol
lars spent in a systematized war OF
rat determination, in which every
should take part, employ
ing every known death dealing de-
vice compatible with public safety,
would be one sure way of reducing
the cost of living. Is 1t not worth
trying?

Fires Scarce In Germany.

From st. Nicholas.
While l was attending the morning
drill of the central fire station In
Dresden, in Saxony, the captain in
command told me that the city had.
on an average, about six alarms OF
fire a week. l casually remarked
that we had twenty-five a day in New
York. He looked at me With wonder
ment and doubt, and when l repeated
that we actually had between twenty
and thirty alarms of fire day In
the borough of Manhattan alone, he
threw up his hands and exclaimed:
"Thank heaven it is not as bad as
that here. or our beautiful city would
be destroyed
And SO we find, thanks to superior
building construction, less hurry and
rush of business methods and
wholesome regard on the part of the
citizens for certain rigid laws cover
ing the use of explosives and ma
terials of all kinds which usually
cause fire, the lot of the foreign fire
fighter is not as strenuous as that OF
his brother fireman on this side OF
the water. Because of the excellent
character of the buildings abroad.

Credit for Farmers.

From the New York Evening Post.
Some light is thrown on the in
creasing demand for better rural
credit facilities by the investigation
into State conditions of the Univer-
sity of North Dakota, summarized IN
the Economic Review. 1t was found
that in half the counties 8 per cent.
was the average rate on farm mort
cages. and that in scarcely any did
it fall below Z; that on short time
loans the rate averaged 1915 per cent.
and rose to u, and that interest was
often deducted in advance. While
these rates are the highest in the
Union, they are approached IN other
sections of the West. That they con-
stitute a pressing problem Is evident
from the fact that 80 per cent. OF
North Dakotas population is rural.
The university believes that by or
ganizing cooperative credit aSsocla-
tions the farmers can reduce rates
on both long and short loans. The
objection raised to this plan in other
States by bankers--that the high in
terest Is traceable to poor farming,
narrow crop range and a financial ir-
responsibility that no credit system
can eliminate-seems to have force in
North Dakota In the Western part
bonanza wheat, the sole crop, is ILL
cultivated, and the shifting popula-
| ton Is VIGOROUSLY careless in money
payments or renewals, but in the
easternmost counties, where the
| farms are prosperous and loans safer,
| interest rates are not higher than in
| Iowa or Kansas.

Names That Have Gone Back.

From the Springfield Republican.
Thomas Hardy showed his keen eye
for the characteristic in giving his
heroine the distinguished name
d'Uberville, corrupted by long rustic
wear to Darbyfield. But many state
ly English names have gone further
down the hill than that, for example
the mean and trivial Shocks. which
has little to recall Sevenoaks. One
would suppose this an easy prize
winner in a degeneration race, yet
Professor Weekley, who is publish
ing in London book on the romance
of English names, finds some that
have descended as far and started
higher. There is nothing very dis
tinguished, for example, about Goblin
"a novelist would hardly dare use 1t
save for a comic figure. AS Quodling
1t is merely queer; as Querdling 1t
begins to seem foreign, and the ety.
mologist can make shrewd guess
where he is coming out; while Quer-
delyon is but the thinnest of masks
for the illustrious Norman original
Cour de Leon. In England the mean
est little names may have the great
est history, especially If they started
as French, which fares badly on Eng
lish tongues.

The king of Hoboes" breezed into
Newark today. He is on his way
South, where he declares he will spend

mean ability, judging from the nu-
merous newspaper clippings he has to

When years old the king ran
away from his home in Fresno, Cal.
and since that time has wandered all
over the United States and Canada.
BY his own efforts he has become a
well-educated man, speaking several
languages. BY reason of this he is
