The frontispiece consists of an excelently en-
graved portrait OF King Albert, in military dress.
1t suggests well-poised character and an able
mind Among kings, Albert is pretty widely
regarded great success He has given new
dignity and honor to his Office. No matter how
the tide of his countrys destiny may run. it looks
as if for the rest of his life he should have to be
a hero. His face suggests that he will be able to
meet this situation, which, to many another, might
be ruinous. To be hero is hard enough; but to
be hailed as hero the world over and to stay
modest is feat that, Of itself, can be rewarded
with nothing less than high place in heaven.
Albert, by the way, has a good many personal
friends in this country, made when he was very
youthful wanderer here and when he occupied
himself, for interval. in doing newspaper work
Some of them he is in close touch with. One
American friend of long standing he has written
to four times from the trenches. -

The disease rabies spreads much
more virulently during the cold, damp
months of winter than during the
summer" says the Journal of the
American Medical Association. The
Puget Sound country had its epidemic
last year beginning in December.
Hence, if dogs should be muzzled, this
should be done in the winter as we'll
as during the summer months. 1t -

PRESENT STAGE
FARES TO REMAIN.
S AVS WOODLAND

II spite Of the fact that fares on
san Diego stages have tumbled To $3.50
for one way ticket, reports this
morning stated that one stage Line had
scaled the rate an additional 80
cents
cay Woodland, pioneer stage opera
tor, who has withdrawn his interest in
the Pickwiel stage line aud who is
associated with the traffic department
of the business, said this morning that
the rate now i'm effect would be main
tanned permanently.
Will" making no direct accusations,
he tntimated that the present rate war
had been inspired by malice against
the Pickwick stage line
"Ouc man bore such malice against
Us chat he spent $1,000 and practical
lY banlirupted himself Mr.. Woodland
said. "Fully 5000. 900 has been spent
by rival companies at different times
in attempts u put us out of business,
but we are still operating stages.
There Is no more chance to make a
prof, i'm the stage business than there
is to fly to The moon
Mr. Woodland bases his reason that
the present rates will remain in effect
on the grounds that ii is easier TO Sc
cure passengers at that price rather
than at the old rate. Two million dol
lars is spent every year i'm California
by stages ut prices in which there is
no profit. he asserted.
