WINNING 4 DECORATION.
The Trsdesmsn Got the Grand Cross
and King Peter the Reward.

An excellent story is going the
rounds about King Peter of Servia.
A. French tradeSman who had amass'
ed great fortune wanted very badly
to get hold of some decoration to wear
on his breast. and after some financial
maneuyering he managed to secure a
Serviun cross OF something or other
lie was immensely proud OF this cross
md instead of having ii set with the
usual inferior quality of brillants he
had It set with diamonds Of the first
water.
Soon afterward lie visited Servia,
and. as In duty bound. he called on
King Peter to thank him for the order.
He wore. of course, his magnificent
cross. and King Peter, who knows
something about jewels, Immediately
fixed his eyes on y. He himself was
wearing the grand cross OF the order
set with rather poor brllliants. and
the moment his visitor came within
reach he exclaimed: But what is
this? / gy-e orders that You should
have the grand cross. The cross alone
Is not worthy OF you. Here, you shah
wear mine"
Before the other could protest Peter
had changed the cross for the grand
cross. substituting the inferior Jewels
for the splendid diamonds on the
breast OF the otherl As a matter OF
fact. Of course. he had never heard OF
his visitor before. the decoration hav'
ing been arranged by his Minister'S
London Taller.

clAPP ENDORSES PRoUTY
Senator From Minnesota Docs Not
Favor Dillingham;

Favor Dillingham;
Dr. II. Nelson Jackson.
Burlington, Vermont.
Dear Doctor:
. Am in receipt OF your invitation to
goto Vermont to speak for the Pro
gressive Party. 1t has been my inten-
ton, as soon as Congress adjourns,
to take the stump and devote my
time until election day to the cam
paign and. of course. | had intended
to include Vermont The zeal and
hearty cooperation of the Progress
sives in Vermont are an inspiration
to a man speaking in that State.
Congress has remained in session
longer than we anticipated and no
one knows now when it will adjourn.
If in time, | certainly shall avail my
self of your invitation and do some
speaking in Vermont. II would be an
added pleasure to do this in view OF
Judge Prouty's candidancy for he
Senate. During the last thirteen
years, being a member OF the Inter.
state Commerce Committee OF the
Senate, | have been thrown into in
innate relationship with Judge Prou-
ty, who during that time, has been
a member of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The country is
indebted to Judge Prouty mot only
for his splendid service as a member
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, but for his influence upon legis-
lation due TO his interest in and
thorough knowledge of the subject OF
transportation II does seem to me
that in Judge prouty the Progress
sives OF Vermont have an opportuni-
ty to cast their votes for a man of
splendid attainment and well-known
devotion to the best interest OF the
people, for the high Office Of United
States Senator. a man who Is greatly
needed on the firing line at time
when the reactionary element OF the
country seem to be organized as
never before for stand against Pro
gressive principles. And that re-
minds me- sometimes fear our
friends do not realize that it has cost
to secure the right to vote directly
for United States Senator.
For many years group OF men
have championed this cause, in spite
of the sneers and frowns OF reaction
aries who have always stood against
the direct election of United States
| Senators, and while we were strug'
Cling TO secure the right OF the peo
| pie to vote for senators. we were con
stantly met with the sneering predic
ton OF the enemies of popular gov
eminent that the people would not
use the right when they got il. dc
most sincerely hope that the Pro
gressives OF Vermont will show the
fslsity of that prophecy by voting tC
man for Judge Psouty for United
States Senator.
In the meantime. If we adjourn
early enough. you may depend upor
it that | shall avail myself of your in
vitation and 20 to Vermont TO make
speeches for the Progressive cause
At the foundation of that cause lie
the fundamental principal of the PEG
pie having the fullest participation
in the governmental policies. includ
ing. Of course, the direct election o
United States Senators, and nothing
would so discou age the cause o
popular government as the failure o
those To whom this privilege ha
been granted, to exercise the priv
lege.
Cordially yours,

More Heat We Get.
Accurate investigations carried on 81
multaneOusly in various parts of the
world through long series of years
have demonstrated that the sun does
not give out constantly the same
amount OF heat. but the variation Is SO
great as to amount to 10 degrees on
the earths surface. In other words
cur sun is a variable star. 1t has long
been known that other stars vary in
the amount of light they send forth,
notably Mira in the constellation or
Cetus, but il required the most refined
Investigation with the most elaborate
checks to prove that this was the case
with the sun. One of the instruments
is so delicate that It can measure one
millionth part OF a degree of heat.
1t is found that the amount of heat
is connected with the spots on the SUM-
and. curiously enoNh. more spots more
