they were no mean antagonists for
these country boys A big automo-

the players and their friends tumbled
out. The hotel nine was a trim, well

Baby, who was twenty-eight years

petted her, saying she looked as well
as ever. After the return trip the
horse walked to the stable, passed one
of the new automobile ambulances,
staggered, and fell. Alice saw her
companion drop, and running to the
body would not be moved. A blanket
had to be thrown around her to get
her away when men came to remove
the horse.
A veteran of several big fires, Baby
always resented the introduction of

FINDS CHILD AFTER 10 YEARS
James Keith, Missouri Farmer. Sees
His Daughter Mildred for the
First Time.

Carthage, Mo-A search OF nearly
nineteen years ended at the Frisco
depot in Carthage when James Keith,
a farmer, residing near Carthage, for
the first time beheld his daughter,
Mildred, twenty years old. whom he
had been told had died in infancy.
Keith and his wife resided In Pop
lar Bluff, Mo. Six months after their
marriage about twenty-five years ago
they separated. The wife went to
her parents. Later the child was
born. He was told she had died in
infancy. At first he was inclined to
doubt the story, but later, when he
could 4ind no trace Of the mother and
the child, he gave up. Later he OBJ
tanned a divorce and came to Jasper
county. The child grew to woman
hood. When she was appraised of the
story of her parents early life she
sought to find her father. After years
OF effort she wrote to the city clerk
at Poplar Bluff. He, had heard that
Keith resided near Carthage and
learned that Keith was still in this
district. Miss Keith, now twenty
years old, is employed as nurse in a
hospital in Anna, Ill. When she and
her father had exchanged kilograms
she took the first train to Carthage.
She was reared by her grandparents.

"After wilhelm heard her sing he could not re-
sist her" is the saying with regard to the re-
moyaI of the kaiser opposition She is not str1k-
ingly beautiful but her pleasing appearance has
made her a brilliant star in the stodgy court Of
the German empress. All the other women at
tached to the empress service have been in her
service since the early days of her marriage and
either are, or are old enough to be grandmothers.
The countess best friend In her love affair has
been the Crown Princess Cece, whose brother
is the grand duke of Mekenburg, of which the
countess father is minister Of state. Coming
from the same place to Berlin, and with the same
yivacity good looks and pleasure In pretty clothes
and piquant society, they naturally formed an al
lance against the stiff and conventional sur
roundngs
The day after the marriage of Prince Oscar and
Countess Ina the royal bridegroom will confer a
settlement upon his wife This is the "morgen.
gabe" (morning giftl from which the term NOR
ganatic'' comes
The marriage ceremony differs from the usual
custom in that the bride joins her right hand to
the bridegrooms left hand Ca token of their
unequal BIRTH and for this she cannot inherit the
estates of her husband or receive his royal name.
Hence the day after the marriage he bestows
a new title upon her. according to the arrange
ments of the state. and financial settlement
This morganatic marriage is considered as
founding an entirely new family. The kaiser will
grant the family and Prince Oscar
will be paid lump sum instead of his prncely
allowance
Morganatic marriages have from time to time
been attacked as equivalent to concubinage
This is mistake. for the whole system OF NOR
ganatic marriages has been built up by the
Protestant church to preserve the purity OF the
marriage relation and at the same time preserve
the sanetity of royalty.
The royal bridegroom cannot marry again in
the lifetime of his morganatc wife unless she is
regularly divorced.
The children take the title and rank of the
mother but they invariably obtain high office
and rich emoluments from the royal family when
they are grown and as in the of the Tecks
frequently marry into royalty.

WHERE EMERALDS COME FROM

Where do they come from-those flashing
stones of pure pellucid green that often form
the central setting OF beautys choicest gems?
Diamonds form but satellites when that rarest
of jewels, perfect emerald, flashes its fire or
lends its sheen to the jewel-incrusted crown of
royalty. Its birth is hidden in the mystery OF
natures alchemy. but its beauty and charm have
been recognized from the very dawn of history.
Emeralds flashed on the shield of Aaron; the
Ptolemies of Egypt treasured them, and their
lapidaries knew the art of engraving on their
hard surfaces the mystic symbols of their ancient
faith; TIVE Theban tombs revealed choice emer-
aids among their long-buried treasures. while
Herculaneum and Pompeii have added their quota
to the greed OF modern excavators. Nero that
half-mad monster VINO once ruled the destnies
