 Government Agent in Peril
 If 1t. were tnot tol tnis weakness Of their Balar singh. the government spy. the native member of the intelligence department of the immigration office, might have finished his earthly course long since. He prefers soft lob and good pay at little risk Of knife thrust between his ribs to piling heavy lum ber in mill yard for small wages. There are preearious moments when perhaps he wishes himself back In the mill yard. but he has a buoyant na- ture and soon recovers himself. No sane or honest insurance company would insure hts life. however. The falling of the curtain for him has been arranged several times. But archness is Balar Singh's trade. and he fore stalls every plot to send him to Ge- henna of Nirvana
 A few days ago, 1t is whispered among the Hindus, the prophetic dis cernment of 3alar singh again saved him. The result Is that some of the Hindus regard the spy as being under the special protection Of a very power ful devil and are In favor of giving him up as a bad Job There is another faction which would cheerfully con- tinue it's endeavors to abolish him. But this matter of the extinction of Balar Singh is not what the row Is about tn the temple or the direct source of all the falsetto and alto language. The Iunjabs tongue is a dangling. twang- Ing series of lingnal privations at best The truth is so they say, that a certain Sikh subdivision wants to tip the guru the black spot. as pirate captains were deposed by their crews. or as the free hooting Silxhs Tn the old time deposed their military commanders when they lost favor.

or Astoreth or Buddha to concede the small favor of making the hearts Of the immigration officials as butter, 50 that the Komagata Maru's passengers might set their feet on British Celum- bia soil. Being a priest or a medicine man carries with It certain obliga- tions. And this Vancouver guru has not delivered the goods. He has not the influence with the chief gods that a priest should have. He is really d simple fellow and never looked a real contingency in the face before. His one achievement in life was becoming a guru, stepping from the mlliyard to the temple pulpit
 Report has it that he may be re- moved from office. It is only q flying Iumor, but 1t Is full of human interest.
 At almost any hour the public pass ing the Hindu temple can hear loud dissension from within, sounds as If sawmill had gone mad.

No sag (dog) or "soor" (pig) of q white man Is allowed to enter. The indus are in angry mood. They have always felt the scorn and contempt of all orientals for the white race Now there is deadly Inl&fu NAlH iit nNoA
 The arrival of the Nomagata Maru in Vancouver united the SiIhs, and the followers of Allah the one true god and the worshlppers of Nishnu, ShWa and Brahma. They forgot sec tartan rancor to come to the aid of their fellow indians marooned on the shin in the harbor But just now the

Blue eyes re- veal butterfly temperament They are usually possessed by pretty girls whose chief aim in life is to be amused and petted-the type of woman who cries on the least provocaton, and always falls at crisis
 Then there is the woman whose eyes are coal black; she may be either goddess or termagant- If her eyes slumber beneath droopy lids and her gaze is soft and inviting. she will be passionate woman whose love will be almost idolatrous in its intensity. She will exhibit a dog-like fidelity to the object of her affections.
 But if woman's eyes are large, black and luminous, lighting up, as it were, her entire countenance. she will be a per- son difficult to please. her vitality will be marvellous and the business instinct will be strong within her.
 She will always succeed by sheer force of personality and will not hesitate to sink the finer instincts inherent in all women in order that she may achieve that which she has set out to attain. A dangerous woman at the best of times. The mouth is the most instructive fea- ture of the face, says an authority on the subject. It reveals not onIy per sons fundamental and inherited traits, but also her efforts to mould her char acter in certain directions.
 Beware of the woman with the Cupid bow lips. She is almost sure to be self ish and unsympathetic and, though she may be ardent in temperament, constancy is not her strongest point.

Reading Character
By IRENE WESTON

The face, as everybody knows. is the finest index of character
 How often does one hear the remark; T don't like that man. Something in his face tells me that he is not de- sirabIe acuuaintance or There is some thing about his eyes which I don't like.
 It is perhaps just as well things are so. The face is the most noticeable part of every person and the fact that na- ture has endowed us with instinct to diagnose the features of each other must be regarded in the guise of blessing.
 In days gone by. encouraged perhaps by the phantom notions of sensational novelists, we were wont to believe that the deceiver's gaze fell before the poig- nant eye of the searcher after truth This illusion, however. no longer exists in the mind of the modern woman thanks to experience and an enlightened age
 But there are many ways of portray ing the character of persons by foliow- ing the laws of science. For instance, if you meet woman with very pointed chin. you may depends upon it that she IS refined in her tastes: that her sensi- bilities are of the most delicate type; that she is a sceptic, but at the same tune a woman with plenty of originality
 Chins having deep clefts show low able disposition and desire to De made great deal of. Women having this char acteristic make good sweethearts and better wives, provided their huspanos lavish affection upon them.
 The narrow. firm chin evinces dis- position to love fondly. She who pos sesses 1t might be described as the cosy corner girl" and she will be inclined to flirt very violently, unless chance puts Mir. Right in her way at an carry age. The ideal chin Is that having a narrow square, ending in a fine point. with a well defined cleft in 1t. All this would indicate a refined and talented woman with a great capacity for and whole some responsiveness to affection.
 The nose Is another telling feature. The woman whose nostrils are deeply indent- ed will be mean and paltry. Wide nos trils denote the spendthrift-the woman who would ruin a man of small means The vulgar person is she whose nose has far jutting tip: refinement is shown by that which rounds off gently at the end. The aquiline shape means a firm will and keen sense of justice, while the fastidious person is indicated by the long, narrow bridge. Those coming un- der this category are very tender-hearted as a rule.
 The Roman nose indicates passionate temper. power of,hatred. jealousy, ambi- tion. eagerness and all the active quail ities which the human frame is heir to-

BELGIAN GUNS BRING Blu
GERMAN AIRSHIP TO GROUND
Antwerp, Aug. 25.-Germany sac
rificed one of her latest type OF Yep

tempt to destroy the Royal Palace
with high explosives. Although the
entire city was terror stricken over
the appearance of the moster OF the
air the quick work of the. forts at
Hemixen, six miles away, drove II TO
the earth with the capture of the en-
tire crew of 25 men, including the Of
f1cers in command, and quickly re-
stored confidence.
Officials in reassuring the inhablt-
ants declared it was unlikely that
there would be any further visitations
here as the force of zeppelins avail
able for war work had been material
ly reduced.
The Zeppelin made its appearance
over the outskirts of the city early
today. Although flying high, notice
of its coming was quickly given by
the whirring of the propeners. AS 1t
swept toward the city like huge BIRD
of prey, the outlying forts began fir
ing on it from the especially designed
guns which can be trained directly in
to the air. It was impossible for the
gunners to get the aim at the start
and the big dirigible swept directly
across the city.
The noise of the cannonading gave
the alarm in the city. Hundreds OF
people rushed into the streets COM
pletely .panic-stricken. The whirr OF
the motor was easily observable to
those in the streets and many women
tainted. The Zeppelin headed for
the palace grounds and as soon as it
was directly overhead, the dropping
of bombs began. The dirigible was
compelled to remain at so high an
altitude that it was impossible for the
crew to get the range of the palace,
although three of eight bombs

E. Downey, of the treasury, has JUS,

circumstances Uncle Sam will pay
for horse that dies in the service OF

On April 10, 1912, a member OF the

horse which died late the same day
1t was discovered that the secretary
OF the agriculture, under whose juris
diction the forestry bureau comes
had no authority to pay for the ami

congress passed law permitting the
secretary to reimburse owners oil
horses which in the future die in gov

Col F. G. Caffey, solicitor for the
department of agriculture, in re ,en'

remedial nature, it should work
restrospectively as well as prospec
lively. But Comptroller Downey held
otherwise; SO only the dead horses
of the future will be paid for.
