record and will naturally
be transmitted to Berlin in due
course by the German Ambas-
sador. We hope it will be shown
that the German Government
had no participation Of any kind
in these plots and conspiracies.
1t is gratifying to receive the
official assurance of the German
Government, emphatically given
to Germans abroad, to German
American citizens of the United
States, and to the American peo-
pie, that whoever is guilty of
conduct tending to associate the
German cause with l%awlessness
'of thought, suggestion, or deed
against life, property, and or
"der in the United States is in
"fact an enemy of that very
cause and a source of embar-
"rassment to the German Gov
"ernment Notwithstanding any
ching he or they may believe to
"the contrary" At once that
materially enlarges the number
of enemies of the German cause,
for it cannot be denied that there
are many persons in this coun-
try, some of them citizens Of the
United States, who, some Of them
in suggestion or deed, others in
thought and sympathy, have
very distinctly associated the
German cause with these forms
of lawlessness. It will now be
possible, and on the highest au-
thority, to denounce them not
only as enemies of our peace and
neutrality but as enemies of
Germany.

well, it's surely good to be back on
Broadway again." exclaimed Jimmy
Lawlor, as he awakened in his apart
ment the morning after his return
from the two weeks vacation which
he had allowed himself.
The room was filed with the golden
sunlight OF September. Lawlor glanced
around his room. 1t was plainly fur
nished, but there were no evidences
Of poverty here. Lawlor vas becom
ing known as an illustrator: he had
worked his way up from the depths,
until he now secured a modest income,
with the hope of increasing 1t mate
rally within a few months.
Miss Mary Dewey, the famous short
story writer had half promised to let
him illustrate all her stories. The
arrangement mad been suggested by
the editor Of the magazine which had
bought the exclusive right to her
work. He was to meet her soon. He
would have met her before, but she
had been away.
Presently, as he dressed, sober
thoughts began to steal through
Jlmmy's mind. He had been guilty
Of very imprudent behavior during his
short vacation. In fact, he had gone
to the Catskills expecting to find ru-
raj quiet there, and he had found the
place full of young store clerks and
salesladies on their vacation.
Among the latter had been Miss Liz
zie Moore. Miss Moore was a type of
the store-girl-one of those types that
Miss Dewey knew so we'll how to de-
pict. And-they had fallen in love
with each other
At first it had been only a Irritation
on Lawlor's part, but soon the trans
parent righteousness and simplicity
Of the girl had stolen into his heart.

PEPYS COULD NOT SEE IT
Famous Dlarlst by No Means In Ae-
cord With UniVersity's Expressed
Opinion About Book.

Sir William Cavendish, known ia
English history as the first duke OF
Newcastle, was commander of King
Charles the Frst's royal army in his
contest with Cromwell. Sir Williams
second wife, the Duchess Margaret,
wrote a life Of her husband, in which
she depicted him as a Most Illus
trious Prince and in every respect
the pink of perfection. The work was
supposed to be entirely authentic and
truthful, for Sir William himself as
sisted in its preparation. 1t was pub
lished early in 1867, and many COM
plimentary copies we're sent out, in
GLIDING one to the officials Of St.
Johns college, Cambridge university.
In acknowledging its receipt they
wrote: your e~xcellency's book will
not only survive our university, but
hold date even with time itself; and
incontinently this age, by reading your
book, will lose its barbarity and rude
ness, being made tame by the elegance
Of your style and manner" But old
Samuel Pepys was not quite so favor
ably impressed. In his celebrated
Diary" under date Of March IS, 1857.
he made this entry: "Staid at home
reading the ridiculous history Of my
Lord Newcastle, wrote by his wife;
which shows her to be a mad, con
ceited, ridiculous woman, and he an
ass to suffer her to write what she
writes to him and Of him"

Ignorant as she was, half educated,
with the little slangy manners Of
speech of her class, Lawlor had real
lied that his love for her could toler-
ate all these things. And she had
looked up to him so naively as a great
painter.
DO you know, Mr.. Lawlor, it is a
wonderful experience in my life to
have met you'll" she confided one day.
Il never knew anybody like you be-
fore. I've always wanted a fellow who
could think beautiful things, like you
can, instead of just being interested
in making money"
Lawlor smiled rather grimly at that,
but his infatuation had reached the
point where he did not vince at the
words she used. Instead, acting on
the impulse, he bent down and took
Miss Moore in his arms and kissed
her.
The girl lay there silent for just a
moment. Then she drew herself away
and looked at him with an expression
that Lawlor had seen on her
face before. There was in it some
thing Of wounded dignity-and some.
thing Of helplessness.
81 suppose you're just flirting with
me to pass away the time" she said
And Lawlor was stricken into ST.
lence. Because, In his heart, he knew
that the girls words we're true.
Il suppose l won't see nothing Of
you after you get back to the city,
pursued Miss Moore rather unmerci-
fully.
YES" stammered Jimmy. II mean
what ! say, Lizzie"
Wen see" answered the girl mood
lily, and that was all. And Jimmy new
er kissed her again, even when he said
good-by.
Yes, Jimmy felt that he had made
a fool Of himself. He had the girls
address. But he did not mean to call
on her. He realized the difference in
their station; he knew that such an
alliance could work nothing but harm
to both Of them. And he tried to put
the girls picture out Of his mind.
That fall was not a favorable onS
for him. He seemed to have atrucl
one of those slack periods that ever
the most accomplished artist occasion
ally meets. Assignments we're few
and far between. And, worst Of all
Miss Dewey held off the arrangement
Il think she wants to make Oh

Cultivate Neatness.

Tidiness is one OF the most attrac-
tive Of feminine qualities. It is also
one of the rarest. Early and persistent
must be the training which carries
the girl into womanhood with her
bump Of n%eatness" well developed.
Unless inherently fastidious during
school days, she is liable to drift into
careless habits which she never out
grows.
One girl may have a trick Of leaving
shoes about her room. AS a child she
was permitted to do this, and az she
grew older the untidy custom was
never abandoned, for the simple rea-
son that she herself did not notice
anything unusual about It, and prob
ably nobody else took the trouble to
correct her. Another slovenly habit ia
leaving g bunch OF comhlngs in the
comb OF on the dressing table. Con
slant vigilance on the woman's part
is necessary IN these small matters
/. she would be thought really tidy.

answered. Lawlor gradually gave
up hopes Of making the agreement.
He became moody and dissatisfied.
His bank balance was being slowly
depleted. He was not in fear Of pov.
erty, but he began to realize-which
was an excellent thing for him-that
he was not yet such a great man as
he thought himself to be.
And, as the weeks went by, Law.
lor began to realize that he had by no
means forgotten Miss Lizzie Moore.
In fact, with the increase Of time, he
began to picture her clearly. Her gen
tie nature, her fawless character, her
mind, only awaiting cultivation to re-
move its surface blemishes. And one
night he came to a momentous deci-
sion.
He dug up the address and wrote
her a letter, reminding her Of his prom
Use, and alphabetically referring to the
business which had prevented him
from redeeming it before.
Back came a little letter. She had
never forgotten him, but thought he
he'd forgotten her. She would be glad
to see him on the evening he had sug-
gested, at nine o'clock, and Mother
is looking forward to meeting the fine
gentleman friend | told her about"
Jimmy WINGED at the wording but
he called.
When he stopped at the door Of
the apartment house his first thought
was that Miss Lizzie must be a serv.
ant. Surely no saleslady could afford
to live in such a place. But, seeing
Miss Moore's card in the box, he
pressed the button. And, as the dool
clicked open, he knew that he was
moving to his fate.
But on the top story he stood still
in amazement. Was this Miss Moore
this beautiful woman in the black eve
ming gown, who stood smiling before
him, and, still sailing at his discom
future, invited him to enter?
The apartment was furnished witt
elegant taste, from the shaded lamp tC
the oriental rugs on the floor. And
standing in the center of the room
Lawlor still looked hard at the cir
and did not know what to say.
Forgive me, Mr. Lawlor," she whis
pered, placing a hand on his arm
Don't you know who ann"
Miss Mary Dewey!" stammeret
Lawlor, suddenly recognizing the por
trait which he had seen in some mag
azine or other.
Il have done very wrong" said thu
girl contritely. But l didn't know
you would be in the Catskills when
went there. l wanted to draw the 10
cal types, and the store girls who wen
there for their vacations, and
haven't n mother, and l had to &c
that card printed for the box-won'
you forgive me, Mr.. Lawlor?"
ION one condition" answered Law
lor, breathing hard.
That l sign that agreement"
mo. That you let me keep my mem
ories-only substitute your name 70
Miss Moore's," he answered.
But long before he went he had be
gun to think in earnest Of a seconl
substitution.

For one thing, a great deal Of

US. NOTE ID
 ENGLAND IS
 MADE PUBLIC
Demand on British Majesty That More Attention be Paid American Shippers and Ships Is Given Out.
UNITED STATES HAS SHOWN MUCH PATIENCE
But This Government is Forced to Conclusion That England is Over Jealous In Watching High Seas,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The full text of the note sent by ne United States to Great Britain demanding early improvement in the treatment of American commerce by the British fleet was made publi ctonight by mu. tual agreement of tEe state depart. ment and British rorelgu office.
 The note consists of a letter of i'm, struction to the American ambassador at London. It explains the patience of the United States due to eXpecta- tion that conditions would be better ed after the critical period following the outbreak of the war had been passed. Peace is declare dto be the normal condition of the world, and therefore the rights of belIigerents> to interfere with neutral commerce ought to be confined to actual necessity to protct national safety
 This government is reluctantly forced to the conclusion,' the note says, that the president policy of his majesty'r government toward neutral ships and cargoes, exceed the manifest necessity of a gelligerent, and constitutes a restriction upon the rights of American citizens Ion the high seas which is not justified by the rules of international law or re- Quired under the principle of self preservation"
 Not only is the situation critical to commercial interests of the United States, but many industries of this country are suffering because their products are denied in long establi,~I- ed markets in European countries which though neutral are contiguous to the warning nations. Producers and exporters are pressing for relief from the menace to transatlantic trade which gradually but surely is destroy ing their business and threatening them with financial disater
 "In conclusion it should be im- pressed upon his majesty's govern ment that the present condition of American trade with neutral coun- tries is such that if it does not inn prove It may arouse a feeling con trary to that which so long has exist ed between American and British peo- ples"

m preparation for the coming dry spell in the state those who desire a drink for themselves have put in their supplies.
 It's quite impossible to even esti- mate the monetary value of the goods turned over yesterday and since the decision of the federal court against the liquor interests. The amount runs into manp thousands of dollars in Bisbee.
 One saloon man was speaking oi the heavy sales yesterday and re- marked That Bisbee might be in a hard way financially but his sales during the past week did not indicate anything of that character
 My stock of goods, of course. was large" continued the speaker, but people who have never been in my place of business or perhaps any other saloon in the District. came in for their own consumption. l would say that near $75,OOO worth of liquors have ben sold in the Warren District 10 private only, during the past week.
 For the past month the w. F. liar rison company has been conducting an auction sale at its place of bust. ness on Brewery Gulch The stock of this firm was valued al about $30. O00. According to the manager Ben Frankel this stock has been reduced very materially and the amount nee. essary to ship out Of the state will be reduced to minimum
 Other firms in the district have sold their goods at big reductions. Last night however. some of the sa. looms had difficulty in securing stock to accomodate their last nights pat. ronage
