The Week:S illustrated Story
Proposing by Letter By ss E1'ss1 "

NDWARD FERGUSON was a
very good fellow, but all good
fellows have their faults. and
Ned had his. His father was
at the head of the firm of Ferguson
e. Co. and understood to be rich. At
any rate. he and his family lived in
fine style. Ned was to take his IA
theirs place at the head of the firm
and vas looked upon as an excellent
catch by all the young girls of his ac-
quaintance. He could have married
any one OF several with a fortune In
her own right.
This he would have liked to do. for
he was ambitious to take a high posi-
ton In the world-that Is, such q po-
sition as great wealth brings-but un-
fortunately he fell In love with a girl
who could not aid him in this respect.
Marcia Fosdick was the daughter Of q
man who was a born e~xperimenter.
He had tried so many experiments
and failed SO many times that when
eve he launched a new scheme 1t was
dubbed another Of Fosdick's follies.
Ned must either relinquish the plan
Of adding to his prospective fortune by
marriage or suffer and cause Marcia to
suffer. for the affair between them was
mutual. l have said that he was a
good fellow. He showed 1t by giving
up so much of his ambition as per-
tanned TO an addition to his fortune by
marriage. / have said that he had his
faults. The way he showed one OF
them was this:
He wished Marcia to appreciate the
sacrifice he was making in marrying a
girl who could not aid him in his de-
sire. for that power which wealth is
capable of giving. But how could he
transmit a statement of the fact to
her? 1t was a very delicate matter
for him to handle. He was a much
better writer than talker. In a letter
he could say just what he wanted to
say and no more; in speech he did not
express himself well and was apt to say
too much.
He wrote a number of notes. trying
his best to give this impression, but do
what he would an appearance of con
descension ON his part would crop out
among his most carefully chosen
words. He laid the letters aside and
in a few days read them over, choosing
the one that he considered smacked the
least of honoring the girl he was ask
ing to be his wife.
Ferguson laid the letter IN his writ
ing desk in his room. intending to post
business. But before leaving in the
morning he read it over and concluded
not to send it till his return In the
evening. He put it In IN unaddressed
envelope and locked it up. During the
day he had n good deal of business
correspondence with parties in San

What became of Napoleon's son Is a
question often asked. as little mention
is made in history of the young prince,
the desire of his fathers life. who was
born March 20, 1911, amid great re-
joicing in Paris and hailed as the king
of Rome" In January, 1914. Napoleon
embraced his wife and child for the
last time, and this really ended the
reign of the little king who never
saw his kingdom. He was reared in
the Austrian court under the name OF
the Duke of Reichstadt and grew to be
a handsome young fellow and quite q
brilliant scholar. He had one short
year of military life and then contract
ed pulmonary disease, from which he
died in his twenty-second year. He
worshiped the memory of his father
and always spent the anniversary of
his death, July %, in his own rooms.
He is buried in the Carthusian monas-
terry of Vienna. which is the Austrian
Westminster abbey.

SMART FALL SUITS.
Long Coat Effects Are Featured by
High Class DESIGNERS,

Judging from the orders that have
been placed. the tendency is largely in
favor of long coat suits. coming below
the knees" says the Dry Goods Econ
omist In discussing fall suits.
These long coat- suits are of various
types. the favorites being, however,
the redingote and paddock effects.
THE basque coat is being shown in
various forms and is meeting with fair
success. The Goa with the wide belt
giving the semifitted effect Is also rep
resented in practically all of the lines
and is meeting with considerable ia
vor.
While sashes or girdles of silk are
used to some extent on the more dressy
models, the tendency seems to be In
favor OF suits that are simply joined at
the waist line without any ornamental
ton.
Another idea that is exploited by
some houses is to make the long coat
so that 1t gives the appearance Of a
short jacket suit with a long tunic.
while the long coat occupies the
first position. manufacturers continue
to show smart looking suit coats av-
eraging thirty inches in length"

Agreement Then Reached Kept Europe
at Peace For Years.
One must take a swift glance to the
Berlin congress OF 1878 to End the
foundation stone upon which the struc-
ture Of diplomatic relations In Europe
up to this years conflict had been
built. That congress was called be-
cause Russia had been victorious over
the Turks for more than a year and
and stay there. England was at that
time the power which forbade Russia
TO take this step. 1t would so augment
Russia's power as to disturb the bal
ance in Europe as well as virtually an
initiate the Turkish empire In Europe.
England was determined that 1t should
not be.
A British feet entered the Darda-
nelles and anchored In view Of Con-
stantinople and in view Of the Rms
SLAMS. Negotiations were then begun
between England and Russia, and the
congress of Berlin was the result. Its
terms were signed July 10. 1873, and
included:
First.-The payment Of a war Indemnity
to Russia in return for which Russia was
to leave Co~nstantinople to the Turks.
Second.-The occupation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina by Austrian troops. put there
only to maintain. order for Turkey. to
whom these states belonged.
Third.-The recognition of Servia and
Montenegro as Independent states.
The treaty of Berlin was broken by
Austria when In 1909 she seized Bos-
mia and Herzegovina from the feeble
hands of Turkey and made them her
own. 1t has now been broken by Ger
many.

Romping With the Young Folks
THE MAGIC SLIPPERS.
Princess Elsie Travelled to the End of
the World For Them.


Once there was a powerful king
whose daughter was the most beauti-
full woman in the world. Her name
was Princess Elsie. Princess Elsie had
The wne could so anywhere or wish
anything he chose. and instantly it
was fulfilled. She wanted them so
badly, but she could not get them be-
cause they We're at the other end of
the world.
She went to the king. her father, and
said, Your majesty, grant me a year
to find the wonderful slippers"
AT first the king would not consent,
but at last gave way. The next day
she started. attended by only one sery-
ant. That day they travelled many
miles, so that ut night they were ex-
ceedingly tired. They rested at a cot
tage. Their hostess was Princess Ell
sizes fairy godmother in disguise. She
asked them where they were going.
The princess answered. ITO the end
of the world to find the magic slip
pers."
The fairy godmother granted them
success. The next day they started on
again. They travelled for c and
months. but still they We're not at the
end of the world.
At last they reached the end OF the
world, but they had not found the
slippers. Princess Elsie said sadly,
"Oh, l wish / had found the magic
slippers"
Just as she said this, strange to say,
she saw them before her. She took
them up and wished that she n her
faithful servant were at home. When
her father saw her he was wild with
10y because 1t was near the end OF the
second year. There was rejoicing
which lasted many days throughout
the kingdom.

A Bakers Dozen,

The custom on the part of bakers al
lowing thirteen to the dozen dates back
to medieval times. when bakers were
carefully watched. The trade was sur
rounded by many laws. and the most
severe penalties were imposed for any
shortage in weight. In order to avoid
the possibility of falling below the
standard measure 1t became customary
for bakers to allow an extra loaf with
every dozen.

IA Half Century of Political
Neglect.

Under the foregoing caption the
Savannah Press ii last Saturday
published an unusually timely and
| Illuminating article from the Pen o.
Thomas Gamble Jr., Of Savannah,
now secretary to Mayor r. J. Devant
ofthat city. Mr.. Gamble was form
erly a news paper publisher Of note,
having for several years owned and
edited the Americas Times Recorder.
He is thoroughly familiar from ilrst
hand experience with the course Of
political thought in thestate during
the past two decades, while he has
for many years been il student Of
Georgia history.
in graphic manner Mr.. Gamble
has placed before the people Of deor-
gia at glance the status OF affairs
now existing in state politics WITH
reference to the much larger num-
Der Of state officials who have been
chosen to office from northern rath-
CT than from southern Georgia.
Numerous statistical tables and q
carefully prepared map accompany
the article and make it the most
notable contribution to the political
writings Of the wear in Georgia. In
the course Of subsequent events in
Georgia politics it may even prove
an epoch-maklng contribution to
political thought.
A glance at the article and its ac-
companying statistics insufficient to
impress upon any south Georgian
the injustice that now exists in the
political isolation Of southern Geor-
gia in regard to state political offices.
Those who know Mr.. Gamble $ care
full, painstaking methods Of prepar-
ing his articles may we'll know that
the tabulations Of statistics given IN
the article are dependable and trust
worthy. The Journal congratulates
Mr.. Gamble on his enterprise and
thorghtfulness in making this not
able contribution to current politi-
cal discussion in the state. The az
ticle should undoubtedly serve an
excellent purposein arousing south

Better Schools For The
County.

Sentiment in Lee county
seems to be constantly taking
ON additional strength in favor
81 local school tax for the
county. Already the names
Of d number Of school patrons
Of Lee county have been al
fixed to a petition asking that
an election be called to regis
ter in a formal manner the
sentiment relative to better
schools. The election author
lied by this petition has al
ready been called, 50 that very
soon the people of the county
may vote upon the matter.
All Of thisis most encourag-
ing to those who are watching
the growth Of the county. It
means that Lee county is alive
to the worth Of one Of the very
best agencies Of modern pro-
gress, its public school. 1t
seems thoroughly reasonable
to believe that the action OF
the voters on this matter will
be favorable. Surely the
thoughtful nd progressive
people Of Lee county cannot
afford to do otherwise than ra-
tify in this manner the efforts
being made here to build up
schools throughout Lee coun-
ty.
Nothing viii serve better
to induce white immigrants to
come to the county than bet
ter schools. Little can be done
to improve the lands Of Lee
county. They are by nature
about the best in Georgia. But
much can be done to improve
school conditions. Every
thing done in the betterment
Of schools brings hundredfold
