WAsHINGToN's BIRTHDAY

AS the years go by, the luster that
attaches to the name of George Wash
.ington grows brighter. Most people,
having long ago dropped school books,
and not being much given to the study
of history, have too much forgotten
the marvellous gifts that are exempli-
fed in the life of the American Liberia
tor. No great military man of the
present age has had: to confront any
such situation as Washington had to
meet. The heroes of today are provid-
ed with the! latest equipment that
science can buy, and a force of train
ed men whose physical wants are met
so far as human ingenuity can make
possible, and who are sure of the reg
ular pay envelope.

out of, faith. He had to take men

Worth Dakota needs more people.
The greatness Of the any common
wealth must necessarily depend large
~ upon the size of it's population.
North Dakota is essentially an agri-
cultural state. To develop the fertile
soil of the state to it's capabilities in
the way Of production more farmers
are needed. During the past year or
two problem in immigration has
sprung up. Settlers have been at
tracted to Canada by the publicity
given that section of the country To
meet this situation squarely and in

This measure creates commission
with a representative from each of
the congressional districts of the
state. This body will be known as
the state immigration and publicity

state publicity and Of dealing with the
problem Of increasing immigration.
Here is a plan that is fair to all sec.

of bringing results. It should receive

From the Pictorial Review.

Your daughter, Mr.. Grain Merchant.
has been invited to spend the week
END with the family of your towns
leading banker at their place on the
lake. You are rather set up by the
invitation. The bankers family are
social leaders. You do not worry about
what sort of entertainment your
daughter will share. Let me give you
an idea Of the modern weekend party.
IA musician recently told me about
his experience at the country house Of
successful real estate operator. He
was asked to dedicate a costly new
organ which the host had installed in
his magnificent stone mansion. The
guests included the real estate mans
sons, daughters, grandchildren and
near neighbors. The affair was quite
informal, and the musician o found
that the organ had little attraction for
the guests. 1t was ear grandpa's fad.
Rarely had this man handled a finer
organ, so he played the program with
enthusiasm; but his audience scat
tered with evident relief.
The older men and women drifted to
the card room to play bridge. Here at
intervals, servants passed highly
seasoned food and sparkling drinks.
The younger element, varying in age
from IL to 20, begged the musician to
abandon the organ for the piano. Bach
and Handel for ragtime, and they were
soon writhing through the turkey trot,
bunny hug and tango dance. When
weary, they stopped long enough to
refresh themselves with caviar, lob
ster. pate defoies gras and punch with
just enough champagne in 1t to
brighten the y n flush he cheek.
The "decadent smart set you say?
Not a bit Of 1t. Just the usual middle
class American who makes money out
Of lucky real estate ventures. fran
chises or inventions. Fathers absorbed
in new ventures; mothers learning the
trick of spending what fathers earn
and in the hands of Miss Sweet Six
teen, the lilies dying.
What does your daughter wear?
Clothes that inculcate modesty?
Hardly!
A member Of our staff was sent to
find out what young girls are wearing.

Homer's Birthplace as II Now Is.
Ernnn thu Chriaflan Herald

Alphabetically, Smyrna must have
degenerated since the ancient days, for
we are told that then the streets were
broad and handsome, we'll paved and
running at right angles with a 9TH
er. There were a number Of squares
and porticoes and Olympic games were
celebrated with great enthusiasm, a
grand music hall at Odeon, a Homer
ion and many temples, of which the
most famous was that of the Olympian
Jupiter, in which the ~reigning emper-
or was practically the god worshiped.
The ancient ~Smyrnlotes were inordi-
nately proud of their city; they called
1t the First Of ASIA" though the Ep-
hesians violently disputed this claim.
The inhabitants also called their city
the city Of Homer" who they claimed
had been born and brought up beside
their sacred river, Meles. They put his
image upon a coin, which they called
a Homerion, a name given to one Of
their temples. Enormous fragments
yet remain showing what tremendous
buildings ono occupied the broad pla-

CHAPTER I.

THE CAMPAIGN ON MADAME.
Madame Linden, having taken her
departure from the Hotel de Richelieu,
drove to her house in the Rue Coo
Heron. Her plan of campaign against
De Sartines was developing into action
with admirable precision.
One might have imagined that her
first thought on finding herself in pos
session of the Porcheron document
would have been the freedom Of De
Lussac. She, however, was quite I'M
aware of the sufferings Of the comte
and absolutely ignorant OF the terrors
of Imprisonment in the bastile. Her
plan against De Sartines included the
release Of De Lussac that evening and
1t seemed to her that a few hours of
Imprisonment more or less did not mat
ter. Assured Of her power to free him,
she put De Lussac from her mind. De
Joyeuse, Madame de Stenlis, and Mad
anne d'Harlancourt h had dealt with
and punished sufficiently for their
petty offenses; De Sartines alone oc-
cupied her thoughts. Her hatred for
De Sartines had become during the
last hour a passion; that word Of in
suit spoken by him before De Richelieu
and the others had completed what his
acts had begun. Her heart held no
mercy for him.
When she arrived at her house she
dismissed the carriage, was admitted
by Rosine, and went upstairs calling
on the maid to follow her.
"'Were is Placide?" asked madame.
Ma fol, where indeed" replied Ros-
inc. I'm some cabaret most likely; he
went out at IL and now tits half past
two and he has not returned"
well, never mind him. but when he
returns send him to me. And now to
work. My boxes must all be packed.
for I leave Paris tonight at 10 o'clock"
Tonight, madameI"
Yes. tonight; and I give a small re-
ception at g."
But, madame"
IT know what you are going to say.
You need not trouble; there will b. no
preparations or worry about food. Mon
sieur de Sartines will provide the n
tertainment." Madame looked grimly
around her, then she went to her bu-
reau and wrote three notes while Ros-
Inc stood by waiting.
