FRANZ JOsEF's KIND HEART
Little Incident That May Explain Why
Ruler Of Austria is Loved by
His Subjects.

Sense OF humor is another strong
trait Of Emperor Franz josef One day,
unannounced. Franz Josef visited the
military academy az Wiener Neustadt,
entered a classroom and, saying 10 the

bench behind him he put his generals

straight feathers. A boy eyed the
green plumes. then slyly stretched his
hand out and plucked one. Emboldened
by success, he took four, and would
have taken the rest had he not
touched his emperor's arm in the
process.
What are you doing that for7"
asked Franz Josef. viewing the do

Discontented Man Accompllshes Some
Good, With Much Harm Through
His Eternal Walls.

We are all natural-born grumblers.
From childhood to the grave we look
for the few things that are wrong and
forget the many that are right. When
we are strong and healthy we offer no
prayer of thanksgiving. But let us
have an ache or a pain, cut finger
or a sore thumb and hear the walls
of distress.
We expect to be healthy, happy and
well. We feel that that is an inherit
ance to which we are entitled. So
we think nothing of It. But how we
magnify our little troubles!
We forget that If we inherit health
SO we may also have an inheritance
Of suffering. II we have dess cf sun

storm. II We expect to enjoy happi-
ness we Siust also anticipate hours of
pain. II we have joys we must also
have sorrows.

mantel. Clipped. battered, ruined like
the rest of the room. For the rest, the
apartment contained a desk, shelves
with the batteries on them. and half a
dozen chairs of the commonest and
cheapest variety The floor was bare,
dusty, and tobacco stained. The sole
remnant Of the ancient glory of the
room was a large handsome old clock
on the wall above the mantel, the
hands of which pointed to the hour Of
ten.
But II the room itself was in a
dingy and even dirty condition, the
occupants were very much alive. One
young man, Lieutenant Allison, sat at
the table under the clock, and another,
Lieutenant Foray, at the table in the
ceIter Of the room. Both were busy
sending or receiving messages. The
instruments kept up continuous
clicking, heard distinctly above the
buzz of conversation which came from
half a dozen youngsters, scarcely more
than boys, grouped together at the op-
posite side of the room, waiting to
take to the various Offices OF the de-
partment, or to the several officials of
the government. the messages which
were constantly being handed out to
them by the two military operators.

USES OF CREPE De CHINE
Chief Reason for the Favor 1t Enjoys
Is Because II Drapes 80
Admirably.

There is a strong liking for crepe de
shine, and this material has made its
outdoor appearance in Paris much ear
lier in the season than usual. Prob
ably the chief reason for the favor 1t
enjoys is that it drapes so admirably
either in the cross-over drapery, which
may simulate a panier in front and is
then caught up in the center of the
back toward the hem of the skirt, or
in the looped-up skirt effect, which is
so picturesque. Crepe is no longer
confined to gowns; 1t is used to make
up costumes also, and there are also
frocks which adapt themselves to out
side wear by Stimulating a cutaway
coat or basque.

NEW COATS FOR MIDSUMMER
Are Made Much on Same Styles as
Earlier Spring Goats Were
Fashioned After.

Wraps and coats for midsummer
are made much on the same styles
the earlier spring coats have been
fashioned after. Many of them are
trimmed with fancy collars and cuffs
of printed silk and some are trimmed
with velvet ribbon and a few have
lace collars and cuffs. The most pop
ular colors seem to be black, navy,
taupe, gold, SAKE blue and sand. Bro
caded charmeuses, crepe de chine and
other novelty brocades are all being
made up into wraps suitable for warm
weather use.
A few fancy linen coats in white
rose, tan and SAKE blue, in the new
three-quarter length in cutaway et'
fects will be worn this summer, and
these are sometimes trimmed with
cluny or ratine lace, or have embroid-
cred collars and cuffs in Cubist or
Balkin designs and colorings. How
ever, the silks seem more popular
probably because they are newer and
prettier.

one of those old-fashioned, heavily
corniced, marble-manteled, low-win-
dowed. double-doored rooms in pub
lie building. 1t was now in a state of
extreme dilapidation, the neglected
and forlorn condition somehow being
significant of the moribund Confed-
eracy in which practically everything
was either dead or dying but the men
and women.
A large double door in one corner
gave entrance to q corridor. The
doors were of handsome mahogany,
but they had been kicked and battered

windows gave entrance to shallow
balcony of cast iron fantastically mold

Beyond this the observer peering
through the dusty panes could discern
the large white pillars of the huge
porch which overhung the front Of the
building. Further away beyond the
shadow of the porch were visible the
lights of the sleeping town. seen dimly
IN the bright moonlight.
The handsome furniture which the
room had probably once contained,

ing. He simply smiled at his brother,
and closed his eyes. The next instant
the room was filed with light and
sound. From every window and door
people poured in; the soldiers from
the porches. from the hall, Mrs. Var
ney, Arrelsford and Edith; from the
other side of the hall hubbub Of
screams and cries rose from behind
the locked door where the sewing
women sat. Martha brought up the
rear with lights, which Arrelsford took
from her and set on the table. The
room was again brightly illuminated.
As they crowded through the vari-
GUS entrances, their eyes fell upon
Thorne. He was leaning nonchalant-
ly against the table, his revolver in
his hand, a look of absolute indiffer-
ence upon his face. His acting was
superb had they but known It He
could not betray himself now and
make vain his brothers sublime act
of self-sacrifice for the cause. There
was a tumult of shouts and sudden
cries:
Where is he? What has he done?
This way now!"
Most of those who entered had eyes
only for the man lying upon the floor,
blood yelling darkly through his gray
shirt exposed by the opening of his
coat which had been torn apart in
the struggle. Three people had eyes
only for Thorne, the man who hated
him, the girl who loved him. and the
woman who suspected him.
Thorne did not glance once at the
girl who loved him, or at the man who
hated him, or at the woman who susl
pected him He fixed his eyes upon
the corporal of the guard.
There's your prisoner. corporal"
he said calmly, without a break in his
voice, although such anguish possessed
him as he had never before expert
enced and lived through, but his con-
troll was absolutely perfect.
And his quiet words and quiet de-
meanor increased the hate of one
man, and the suspicious of one wom-
an, and the love and admiration of the
other.
There's your prisoner" he said,
slipping his revolver slowly back into
its holster. I'VE had bit of strug-
gle and / had to shoot him. Look out
for him"

the hot water without the lemon juice
should be drunk. This will wash the
stomach and prepare it for the food
which it is to receive.
In cases Of nausea, lemon juice in
glass Of cold water will prove a cure.
There are some persons, however, to
whom the sight or smell of lemon is
sickening, SO that this cure would not
do for them. They should use the old
time aromatic spirits of ammonia.
Brushing the hair will keep it fluffy
and will add a sheen which is always
admired. One should not fail to brush
the hair at least once a day, and twice
day would be better. The brushing
will also remove the dust. which can
not help but collect on the hair during
the day, and it furnishes valuable
stimulation to the scalp.

Coat Effects on Gowns.

Coat effects on gowns give a pleas
ing novelty in summer fashions. No
matter how unconventional one may
decide to be, few women have the
courage to go about in town without
some sort of outside wrap.
Sometimes these coat tops are very
marked and are exactly like the vari-
Gus bloused coat models. except that
they are a part OF the dress and can
not be removed Then again they are
simply indicated by the manipulation
of the draperies and trimmings.

KatherIne,s Point Of View.


Little Katherine is believer in the
outdoor life, and she does not confine
her fresh-air activities to her own
backyard. Her mother recently had .
load OF sand placed in the rear of the
yard, thinking Katherine would devote
her time to playing in the sand. She
did play there part of the time, and
part OF the time she was out Of the
yard.

perated because her daughter was not
staying in the yard, don't you know
had that man bring this sand here to
keep you in the yard?"

him to come and take 1t away"
