An Incident In tho Career of the Duke

An Incident In tho career of the Duke
 of Wellington.
 While the Iron Duke was still Mar quis of Wellington he went from Paris to Toulouse, where he had fought and won the last battle of the Peninsular war. He attended the opera that first evening, and, though he wore plain clothes and sat ill the back of the box, he was almost immediately recognized by some one in the orchestra chairs. who called out, "Wellington!
 The name was taken up by others, and at last the entire house rose. turn ed to the box and called. "Vive Yelling ton!''
 Nor would the people be satisfied un. til he had stood up and bowed to them. when he was cheered and applauded again. At the conclusion of the per formance the passage from the box was found to be crowded with people. The women of the party drew back nervously, but the duke said Come along" in his brusque way and con- ducted them on. While they were still in the corridor a man in the crowd was heard to say to his companion:
 "But why are you applauding so much? He has always beaten us!'
 This was very true, and the question seemed natural one, but the answer was charming:
 "Yes. but he has always beaten us like gentleman. n."-Washington Star.

LEARN HOW TO RELAX.

Nervous Women in Particular Should
 Be Kind to Themselves.
 One of the important things to know fin life. especially if you are wonun. is how to let yourself alone The abil ity to relax. the art of being judiciously lazy. the tact to let herself alone. has saved many Il woman from nervous breakdown. We all know the house. wife who nags herself into such a state of conscientiousness that she cannot rest. If she lies down she is continually worrying herself with lecting.
 Much of the blame for this state of affairs lies at the doors of the mothers. The mistake is in their training of their children. especially their daugh. ters. They are taught from earliest infancy to be kind to others. to bear with them. to forgive them, to help them, but from birth to death no one ever tells them to be kind. also. to themselves.
 The woman who nags herself can make herself more miserable than any one else possibly could. She can make her life more of a nightmare than any misfortune could possibly make it. If such women could learn to be kinder to themselves there is no doubt that their own lives would be heightened, and not only that. but the lives of those with whom they come in close contact would be made far more pleas ant--Mary Carolyn Davies in Mothers Magazine.

TOLOVANA NO
 LONGER A GAMBLE.

No longer in the Tolovana district a gamble or prospect for camp but is in fact a good small camp, with the possibility of growing into a camp almost as large as Fairbanks, according to recent arrivals from the new diggings. Pay has been lined up on Livengood creek and prospects along other streams indicate that the operations will be extended over a large area. Conservative mining men of experience, including Harry Pat terson, say that in six pans they took out 91 cents. In drifting toward the creeks, in two thaws with eight-foot points the results were favorable. Gus Peterson, Alois Fremieur. Sam Godfrey, J. J. Sherry and others are convinced that the new camp will prove one of the best producers in recent years and think that it will add several hundred thousand dol lars CT more to the output Of the Fairbanks district next summer.
 They also consider that it Is situ- ated so that it will prove greater help than any strike made in years to Fairbanks. The camps will natu- rally be supplied from Fairbanks, they think, and the merchants or business houses of the Yukon river side will not be able to compet..-- Fairbanks Times.

He impressed his auditors with the fact that the proposals were not radical, although forward looking. He drew even upon Grotius, the Dutch jurist of the seventeenth cen tury, whose writings were the basis of international law, to emphasize this fact. When he concluded his case seemed unassailable.

SUGGESTIONS OF TAFT
 FOR PERMANENT PEACE

Among other things while speak ing in Seattle, William Howard Taft proposed permanent peace as follows:
 "It is a question of great interest to every thinking man how to make peace possible" he said. '"The great cataclysm in Europe has brought us face to face with fact that if we are not to retrograde, we must make peace permanent thing, and prevent the recurrence of what seems a fool ish and cruel war"
 The germ of the plan that led to the organization of the. league to en- force Peace came when a number of men met in the club of an eastern city after a banquet and laid the groundwork. Later a meeting of one hundred was held in Independence Hall, Philadelphia, and the plat form" as the speaker termed the plan, adopted.
 The plan explained by former President Taft, is substantially as fol- lows: First, to establish an inter- national court to decide all questions capable of judicial solutions; second, to refer all non-judicial questions to a court of colciliation to mediate be- tween the parties and make recom- mendations for settlement; third. to punish a recalcitrant nation that may attack another member of the agree ment without submission of the ques- tions of issue tp an international con- gress which shall agree upon princi- ples of international law.
