THREADING THE BEATEN PATH
Mistake Made by Many Is to Think
They Have Discovered All Things
Along the Route.

Most Of us grow weary at times OF
what we call the beaten path. We
have trod it so often that we imagine
we know it's mileposts by heart and
believe that with eyes and ears closed
to what is going on about US we could
tell in a moment our whereabouts.
This may be true to a degree, but
such intuition is not given to every.
one, and sometimes even to those who
really think they have explored all the
byways Of the great path of life many
things are yet undiscovered. It all
really is a question Of our own abil-
ity to appreciate and use to our ad.
vantage such conditions as influence
our individual lives. OF course, if we
have no desire beyond attaining q
purely worldly success we lin1t pur
possibilities of enjoying lite Its
highest degree, becde W. mater 1l-
cess is not everything in this bFl
1t is very good, to be sure, andsvery
satisfying in a way, but even those
who can bear personal testim0y to
it's many advantages are the frst to
admit that wealth and high worldly
position do not comprise the sum total
| Of happiness. We must have an innel
life, consciousness of the existence
of something better and higher than
/ the world affords, before we car
really deem ourselves wholly blessed
! And that realization is often easier
obtained by the man who has little OF
! nothing of the worlds blessings thar
by his more fortunate brothers who
bask in its smiles.

PRINCE CHING AGAIN
ACTIVE IN CHINA
Political Charges in That
Country Bringing Re-
turns of Old Timers.
tBy Associated Press

PEKING. Dec. 16.-Prince Ching,
who has suddenly. come out Of long
retirement to participate in the nego.
tiations concerning the rights the de-
posed Manchu dynasty is TO enjoy
ment OF the monarchy, was for many
years one OF the most important fig
ures In Chinese politics.
He has been living quietly at Tien.
tsin and was summoned to Picking to
looks after the interests of the boy.
emperor who Is LIVING as a prisoner
10 the Forbidden City OF Picking.
Prince Ching was born in 1888, and
when IS years of age was adopted BY
a grandson OF Emperor Chen Lung
and was continually advanced until
1908, when. upon the death OF En-.
peror Kuang Hsu, he was admitted
to the rank OF a hereditary prince OF
teh first order. Many OF his sons and
daughters have married into the
Chinese Royal family.
In Manchu circles, therefore. the
Prince Is a person OF very great con
sequence on the ground OF family ties
alone. In addition he is exceedingly
wealthy and for many years he was
the most powerful minister in Picking
In April, 1884, he became presiden,
OF the Tsungli Yamen. the old Board
OF Foreign Affairs, and in that capa
city his name Is associated with many
OF the outstanding events OF China's
recent history.
There was, In fact, period OF many
years when practically nothing coul,l
be done without Prince Ching's cog
nizance and help, when his front door
was market place at which appoint
ments, promotions and concessions
were bought and sold, when his favor
was the passport that opened the
most intimate and closely guarded por,
tails, when his frown meant ruin to
the most elaborate schemes. And now
after period of retirement and com
paratlve unimportanee, he re.emerges
again to put through" what may well
prove to be the last big deal OF his
life.
The terms on which the Manchus
abdicated, the favorable treatement'
agreement that Prince Ching is going
to revise. contained a stipulation that
after abdication the emperor should
be allowed to retain his title and
should receive from the republic the
respect due to a foreign sovereign
Article two arranged that the throne
should receive from the republic ar
annuity OF Taels 100000 (s5,60O,000)
Mexican, until the establishment Of q
new currence, when the sum shoulc
be $4,000, 600 Mexican. By article three
the emperor was to be allowed to re
side temporarily in the imperial palace
but was later TO remove to the Enc
Park, retaining his bodyguard at the
same strength as hitherto. Other arti

form the religious ritual connected
with the imperial ancestral temple:
