SAYS WIFE is BEST SPENDER
Suffragist Hence Draws Moral That
Women Should Handle Nations
Cash, Too.

London.-That the working class
wife is a more efficient spender of
the household accounts than her mid.
die class sister was the contention of
Miss Lucy Yates at recent meeting
of the Women's Freedom League
She declared that the principle OF a
woman having complete control of the
house was always recognized by the
working classes, but higher in society
there came a sort of dual control.
Through this responsibility the work.
ing wife learned administration, but
by leaning on some one else the mid
die class wife never learned.
The wife, Miss Yates said, should
have complete control of the whole
of the money set aside for household
expenses, including housekeeping,
dress and education. There should be
no audit of her accounts unless by
her request. She should be provided
with eheckbook, as more likely to
prove successful than the provision
of loose coins, which might be cajoled
out of her purse by tempting bar
gains.
The speaker declared that spending
was a finer art and much more diff
ficult than earning. Women should
also choose the house, and it was
high time, according to Miss Yates,
that the women took over the spend
ing Of the money for the nation.

KING FINE SPEAKER.
Danish Monarch Is Man of Great
Energy.
Ruler Has Unlimited Capacity for
Hard Work and ls Great Favorite
With People-Manners Natural
and Speech Unaffected.

Copenhagen.-Apart from his ruling
trait Of subtle humor, King Christian
is man Of serious inclinations and
great energy, supported by an unlim-
tied capacity for hard work Like his
late father, he is an excellent public
speaker, and possesses a voice of quite
exceptional power and range. l have
seldom witnessed more striking dis.
play Of lung-power than on the day
when King Christian stepped out on
the balcony of the Amalienborg palace,
after having been proclaimed king by
the premier. Every word of his
speech to the assembled multitudes
in the square below penetrated to the
farthest corners of the quadrangle
In theatrical parlance, his debut was
"a rafting success" He had "ar.
rived"
1t is not a matter of great difficulty
to unravel the secret of King Chris
tian's instantaneous popularity. His
methods are a simple concOction OF
natural manners and unaffected
speech, clear conception Of his duties
as a constitutional ruler, and deep
knowledge of all the little things that
really matter in everyday life. He
joins with fervor in the social gather
ings of his people, and delights in be.
ing treated as "one of them"
His conversation is full of good
humored puns and slang expressions

Horace'u Essay.

Horace sat and gnawed his pen,

of hatred on the blank sheet of paper
before him. From his seat he could
see every member of the class dash
ing off fluent essays on Henry VIII.
His pen alone was idle.
1.-TWO minutes more!" came from
the teacher. Then Horace, in des-
peration, seized his pen and made a
bid for fame, as follows:
Henry VIII was a king of Eng
land, and the greatest widower as
never was. He was born at a place
called Ammo Domino, and he had sixty
wives. The first he ordered to be
executed, but she was beheaded. He
revoked the second, and the third
died; and then he married Annie

For Study Of Tropical Diseases.

Recently the foundation-stone of the
new School of Tropical Medicine at
Calcutta was laid by the governor of
Bengal. The government of India pro-
vided $4,000 for the site and labora-
tory and is to contribute for the up
keep of the school. The institution
is unique in the tropics. The spe-
cial work of the laboratory will be
to investigate on practical lines the
causes of tropical diseases in the Cal
cutta hospitals, with a view to find
ing more accurate methods of diagno-
sis and improved treatment. Tropi-
cal diseases cause over one-third Of
the deaths in Calcutta, and at least a
large proportion in India as a whole,
and the possibilities of carrying out
practically important Investigations
of such diseases will be limited only
by the amount Of financial support az
forded the new institution. The insti-
tute will accept stude1.s from all
over the world.

NOT LACKING IN sHREWDHEss
Ignorant Moro Ruler Quick-Witted
Enough to Devise Clever Scheme
to "Save His Face"

The Moro lords of the Island or
Mindanao in the Philippines-they
are called datos-although nearer saw
ages than barbarians, do not want ma
tive wit and shrewdness. A young
lieutenant who has seen service there
tells the following incident, which
shows how clever one of them was
in concealing his ignorance:
Some of the retainers Of old Dato
Mundi, who lorded It over few hum
dred fuzzy-headed, bolo-chopping ma
tives in the Mindanao hills back OF
one of the army stations, sneaked
down one dark night and stole half
dozen cavalry horses from the corral.
The commanding colonel, much in
censed at the theft, had some native
crackers trail the horses to the very
village where the old dato held his
primitive court. Forthwith he sent
the young lieutenant, with formid-
able escort of khaki-clad troopers, to
bear a letter to Rhe dato that demand
ed instant restitution Of the horses
under penalty of immediate war. A
half-breed interpreter went along with
the party
The lieutenant found the dato, who
had word of his coming, seated in sol
emn state. He wore gown Of angry
turkey-red calico, while scores OF
cockatoo feathers bristled in his wool
Heavy rings cleaned on his fingers
and toes. Around him were ranked
score Of his warriors.
The interpreter translated the let
ter. The dato, who could not read OF
write a word in any language, took
the sheet from his hand and gazed
long and frowningly upon it.
WELL" said the lieutenant, growing
restless, for he was fully aware OF
the Moro's complete lack of educa-
ton, TASK him what his answer is"
The interpreter translated this; :
whereupon the dato seized a piece OF
charcoal from the open fire and, max
ing a number Of marks upon the back
of the letter, returned 1t to the lieu
tenant in solemn silence, while his
warriors looked on, struck with ad.
miration at their leaders learning
The lieutenant gazed at the mean
ingless "hen tracks" that the dato had
scrawled across the page, and frowned
in disgust. "Tell him." he cried, i'm
patiently, to the interpreter, that l
want to know just what this means;
whether we get the horses, or whether
it's war;"
AS the hot words were translated to
him, the old dato snatched the letter
from the lieutenant's hand and, seiz-
ing a twig that was burned at one
end to live coal, he swiftly punched
three holes through the sheet. Then
he handed it back to the officer, drew
himself to his full height, and haugh-
tily detained something in his native
tongue, while his warriors bowed to
the ground In awe.
'He says" translated the interpre-
ter with a smile, that he thought
every warrior knew that when one
ruler answers another rulers letter
by writing on the back of it, it means
war; and when he burns three holes
through it, it means war twice.

LEPER HAS A PRIVATE CAR
Charles Woigren Deported by Chi
caso to sweden-Journey 10
Kept Secret.

Chicago.-After a trip OF q thou.
sand miles. riding in state In a pri.
vate car that cost the United States
government $3.50, and surrounded with
all the exclusiveness of a millionaire,
Charles Wolgren, the leper who has
been living in the Cook county hos
pital in Chicago for more than two
months, is on board an Atlantic liner
In New York harbor and will sail for
Sweden, his native land.
His departure from Chicago, his
trip to New York and his removal
from his private car to the steamer
were surrounded with all possible
secrecy, due to the acute fear Of
leprosy that dates back many GEN.
turtles before the Christian era, and
which today is much alive in the
United States as 1t ever was among
the ancients.
Railroad officials were induced to
take the passenger only on the pay
ment of high tariff, and they stipu-
lated that his movements should not
be given publicity.
The governors Of six states were
asked to give their permission that
Wolgren cross their respective do.
mains. They complied and held their
peace.
Several of the officials of the Cook
county hospital were engaged in the
planning, but Warden w. O. Chap
man was anxious to lose boarder
who required such extra care and
who apparently might stay charge
on the taxpayers for years, and he
saw to it that silence was enforced
Two men were detailed to accom-.
pany Wolgren in his private car.
They were George E. Schubert, a
deportation officer attached to the
Chicago immigration Office, and c. D.
Creighton, Cook county hospital
nurse, who acted as attendant.
