THE FABLE OF THB
YOUNG MAN WHO WAS
ALWAYS "GOING TO"

Once upon time, in a town that
boasted the residence Of three souls
who had seen Gertrude Hoffman dance
there lived a young man who spent
most Of his time Boosting Of what he
was going to do.
For, had he not spent year in Chi
cago? And did he not know the world
and the big opportunities lying around
in it? He did.
But this young man never would ex-
plain why he had never grasped any Of
the opportunities "Just watt, and
"You just watch me-" were his favorite
expressions, and as days came round
he would tell his friends of having just
turned down a flattering offer from
some captain of commerce who had
earnestly entreated him to accept the
position at twice the salary of their
president. He declared prominent
merchants, wealthy manufacturers, and
eminent statesmen were bitter enemies
of one another because they knew each
were after this young genius's services.
The man who owned the grain elevator
in the little town had insulted our
young hero by offering him a job as
their weighman at what any other boy
would have considered big wages. In
fact, there was but one person in the
town who could understand the mys-
ferrous youth. That one person was
his father. The father more than once
had found his son unable to add dozen
figures correctly or write five words
that any human might read.
MORAL-There's always a reason.

NO EFFORT TO REGAIN
BOY EMPEROR'S THRONE
Chinese Imperial House Disclaims
Purpose to Restore
Hsuan Tung.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
PEKING. September 2O.-Shih Tao,
the guardian of the throneless imperial
house of China, recently held a confer
ence with Princes Chen and Ching. the
near relatives of Hsuan Tung. the boy
emperor, after which announcement
was made that under no conditions will
the dethroned royal family take advan-
tage of the present monarchial move
ment In the hope of restoring the de-
posed family to power.
Wholly apart from the monarchfal
movement promoted by the Society for
the Preservation of Peace, there is a
movement in China to put the Using
dynasty back into power. II has few
adherents and has made little Roadway
for many years. However. the impe-
rial movement inaugurated in the in
terest of President Yuan Shih-kai i'm
mediateiy prompted enemies OF the
present administration to suggest that
II the empire be restored the Tsings
should have their old throne.
The boy emperor Is now only nine
years old. He was less than five when
Empress Lung Yu abdicated the throne
in his name and placed 1t at the dis
posal of President Yuan Shih-kat. on
behalf of the child the empress, who
is now dead. made pledge that no eff
fort would be made to restore him to
the throne. This statement of the de-
ceased empress has been reproduced
several times recently in newspapers
which are supporting the Society for
the Preservation of Peace.
Until the present monarchial move
ment was Instituted the boy prisoner
in the forbidden city was practically
forgotten, even In China Under the
republic tho imperial family has been
lost sight Of as completely as the Ko-
rean emperor has disappeared in his
palace at Seoul, where he is held a
prisoner by the Japanese.
