MINDS ACROSS THE SEA

tina conflict we found ourselves Involved
in the Alabama claims controversy, which
was settled by arbitration under the Inn
pulsion of the great soldier who had led
the armies of the union to victory. Hence
forward Great Britain understood the
United States much better than in the sos
and Cos. Experience In arbitration had
cleared the British vision. and our narrow
escape from the .'arbitrament of the
sword steadied American judgment,
The present cordial Anglo-American
friendship was not attained until 1895 when
Great Britain was our. sole European
friend during our war with Spain. The
mutual good will then ~engendered has
repaired both Americans and Britons to
observe with more than p%erfunctory cere-
monial the centennial of the signing of
the treaty of Client, which brought the
war of 1872 to a close. The teachings of
these historical facts is eminently favor-
able to the progress OF arbitration. They
show that two nations as strong, high
spirited and rich as the United States and
Great Britain, neither one afraid of tho
other. have reached points Of friction
many times in a century without allow
ing the friction to generate the flames of
war.-What these two can do, other two
nations can do by ~cultivating the talent
for taking counsel together.
The Client celebration ns1ll be an Ameri-
can-British affair. 1t need not distress
here or abroad. AS Professor
Muensterberg said. the idea that the cele-
bration portends an alliance between the
United States and Great Britain is absurd.
German-Americans can do nothing wiser
than to laugh at politicians who for their
own individual n d seek to show that the
Client celebration was undertaken In a
spirit of hostility to the "Fatherland."

.Synopsis.

Synopsis.
THE MINISTER OF POLICE." by
Henry Mountjoy, Is q romano of Paris
during the Louis XIV reign. a period when
Europe was in a condition of foment and
unrest; when Voltaire was breaking to
pieces the shack1es of religion; when
Rousseau at the Cafe de Regenance was
preaching the right to think; and when q
thousand men, some in&the gutter. some
explosion OF the revolution.
Madame Linden, an Austrian lady,
after completing a simple mission to the
ing the gay life there. De sartines. the
minister of police, thinks she has some
other motive than pleasure IN delaying
spies to discover, If possible. whether she
is dabbling in state plots. +.
De Lussac is a noble of exceptional
character of that period. Handsome, with
all the elegance OF. a mar of the court,
there is still about him something that
stamps him as a man apart, something OF
the visionary the ana me ne; peel ?
wit and embroidered brutality. He is, in
fact, STEPPED in the philosophy Of Rous-
s sea and Is trying + to p,u o this pai1oso wifg
a secret society hat is plotting the down
fall of the state. Before he has gone far
enough to incriminate himself he falls in
love with the beautiful Austrian, who
persuades him his method of Fighting the
wrongs of humanityfs impracticable, and
ends by promising to go to Vienna with
~ ~ v
AS he leaves her house a fellow con-
spirator, his chief, joins him, says several
Of their members are arrested, and en-
trusts the secret articles Of the association
to him. He then explains to De Lussac
that their only hope is to fntimidate the
minister of police. This can be accom-
plished only by obtaining an incr!minat-
Ing contract signed by the minister of po-
lice and in the possession and safe keep
ing of De Richelieu, De Lussac's cousin.
With this contract in their possession they
can dictate terms to the minister of po-
lice, obtain the release of the members
already imprisoned and be safe them
selves!
DE- Lussac goes home, burfes the papers
he has just received, writes Madame Lin
den that he is attempting one last mission
for the society, and also writes an assoc
ciate telling him where the papers may
be found in case Of his death. Then he
enters Richelieu's home and almost sue
ceeds in getting the document, but is sur
prised and leaves it in a drawer which he
has unlocked. Before he can make an
other attempt he is arrested and taken to
the Bastile but not before he has told
Madam LINDEN how nearly he succeeded
In getting the document. She, realizing
how desperate her lovers position is, Wis
Its Richelieu's home and succeeds where
her lover has failed.

MEMORY
Since Leaving OFF Coffee.

Many persons suffer from poor
memory who never suspect coffee has
anything to do with it.
The drug-caffeine-in coffee, acts
injuriously on the nerves and heart,
causing imperfect circulation, too
much blood in the brain at one time.
too little in another part. This often
causes a dullness which makes a good
memory nearly impossible.

did not know that coffee was the
