MaIta,s "Hood of Shame"

A peculiar headdress is worn by the women folk of Malta and is known as the ..faldetta." It is said to have orlg'- mated under the following curious con ditions. says the Wide World: Dur ing the French occupation of Malta over a century ago. the natives were subjected to much persecution. Inelr religion was attacked, churches were rified and the women and children mo- Iested This state of affairs so grieved those deeply religious people that they made a solemn VOW to wear a hood of shame" for hundred wears This period has now elapsed which perhaps accounts for the grad, nal disappearance of the "faldetta
 and the increasing numbers of women who wear the latest from Paris" and generally follow European fashions.

RIDING IN A JINRlK!SHA
Sensation Not Altogether P'easan- Though Almost Every One Socks
 the Experience.

When the European or American tourist first lands in Japan he at once demands a jinrikisha. Having read oI it and heard so much of it he wants an immediate experience of it as soon as he finds himself in the land or l1s birth. Almost any day one may see procession of men and women, asnore for a day or two from steamer ln port, making their way up the crowoeo thoroughfares of Tokyo, sitting ratner awkwar5iy in their jinrikishas, trem- bling unbalanced over the axle, not knowing whether the thing is gong to tip backward or fall forward, so ioose- ly does the puller seem to hold the shafts. The first time one gets into
 jinrikisha he always feels like oaDy, and this gawkish sensation coupleo
 with that of the uncertainty of one
 position in balancing it, renders the experience not quite so pleasant as anticipated. But the only way 1oi comfort is to sit back at ones ease and leave the responsibility to the man
 who pulls it.-Japan Magazine.

No, he did not know what he should see, for when he finally stepped in it was not an open view of the hol- low which met his eyes, but the purple clad figure of Mrs, Averill with little Peggy at her side. He had not ex- pected to see the child, and, standing as they were with their backs to him, they presented a picture which, for some reason to be found in the myste- rious recesses of his disordered mind, was exceedingly repellent to him. II
 The noise he made should have caused Deborah's tall and graceful figure to turn. But the spell of her own thoughts was too great; and he would have found himself compelled to utter the first word, if the child, who had heard him plainly enough, had not dragged at the woman's nand and so woke her from her dream.

 "The prisoner continues to deny his guilt. The story he gives out is to the effect that he left the tavern some few minutes before seven o'clock, to look for his child, who had wandered into the ravine He had his stick with him, for he never went out with out it, but, finding it in his way, he leaned it against a tree.
 'He crossed the bridge and took the path running along the edge Of the ravine. In doing this he came upon the body of a man in the black recesses of the hollow, a man so evil dently beyond all help that he would have hurried by without a second look if it had not been for the watch he saw lying on the ground close to the dead mans side.
 "It was very fine watch; it seemed better for him to take it into his own charge till he found some responsible person willing to carry it to police headquarters.
 "He dashed into the woods, and, tearing up the ground with his hands, buried his booty in the loose soil, and made for home. Even then he had no intention of appropriating the watch, only of safeguarding himself nor did he have any hand at all in the murder of MT. Etheridge. This he would swear to; also, to the leav ing of the stick where he said"

SEE PROSPERITY AT HAND
Business Men Have Lost Feeling of Timidity and Are Hard
 at Work.

The statements given out by various departmental heads, showing the wave of prosperity that is sweeping over the country, should have an impor- tant influence in restoring confidence among those who have held back be- cause of timidity.
 Reports that have been received by the federal reserve board, the depart ment of commerce, and all other de partments in touch with the business and financial situation show plainly that the business men of the United States have their sleeves rolled up and are hard at work.
 The emergency currency has been retired almost in it's entirety. The stock market is more buoyant than it has been in several years. Henry Clay Prick, leaving meeting of the finance committee of the United States Steel corporation, was asked by Judge Gary whether he was really very bullish." q was never more bullish in my life," said Prick
 So it is that many of the fore most business men of the United States now feel They know that prosperity is returning. More i'm portant still, they know that the peo' ple of the country are tired of agita | ton and are bent upon prosperity They know that prosperity will be the big political issue of 1916 and that the party which best represents that issue
 will be placed in charge of the govern | ment.

The country applauds President Will sons course in giving up his trip to Panama and San Francisco in order that he may keep in close personal touch with international affairs. The great need of his services in connec- lion with our foreign relations is gen srally recognized, but the suggestion that he remain in Washington in the expectancy that his services may be needed as peacemaker in Europe will inspire but little hope, so long as military operations and preparations continue on the present tremendous scale.

|6 NOT A FAILURE
Unjust Accusation of the Admin
 istrati0n.
In View of the Grave Problems 1t Has Successfully Solved, the Charge May Be Set Down as
 Ludicrous.

Commenting on the presidents state- ment to the church meeting in Wash ington that "If can speak for you. l am powerful; if I cannot am weak. the Kansas City Journal says: Tne failure of the Wilson administration has been due more directly to the re- fusal of the president to take the people into his confidence, to learn at first hand what the people wanted and to get close to the actual humanities.
 What getting close to the actual hu- manities may mean we do not know. Nor did we know that the Wilson ad- ministration had been a failure. It has had difficult task, for it has had to do with economic questions in which there was no appeal to the fer vor of patriotism. Congress has passed many important measures and they were according to program which the president formulated. The tarln and the currency and banking reform acts would be sufficient to make the reputation of an administration for four-year term. President Wilson has been confronted with two grave situ- ations, the European war, which sprang with a suddenness equaled only by it's overwhelming importance, and the Mexican situation, which has increased in complications. As to the great European war, the administra ton has been suddenly confronted with some of the gravest foreign prob lens that any administration evel had In this crisis the administration has so steered the country's course al to leave us with the honors of th' situation and with our peace unas sailed. To talk about the failure" o such work as all this is to say thinl that good Americans should shrinl from. There may be legitimate oppo sition on the ground that the Demo cratic party is not liked and that tn
 tariff is not liked, but to say the ao
 ministration is failure" is not just indianapolis News Qnd.).

 Spencer's Folly, to the judge, ap- preaching it from the highway, was as ugly sight as the world contained. He hated it's arid desolation and all the litter of blackened bricks blocking up the site of former feastings and reckless merriment. Most of all, he shrank from sight of the one corner still intact where the ghosts of dead memories fingered, making the whole place horrible to his eye and one to be summed by all men. The cemetery from which he had come looked less lonesome to his eyes and far less omi- nous.
 No sign remained of pillar or door | way-only a gap. Toward this gap he stepped, feeling a strange reluc tance in entering it. But he had nc choice. He knew what he should see

 Deborah sighed as she laid this headed by a picture of her husband
 It was not an unhandsome face. h. deed, it was his good looks which had prevailed over her judgment in the early days of their courtship. Reu- ther had inherited her harmony of feature from him-the chiseled nose, the well-modeled chin and all the other physical graces which had made him fine figure behind his bar. He had had no business worries; yet his tenn per was always uncertain. She had not often suffered from it herself, for her ascendancy over men extended even to him. But Reuther had shrunk before it more than once. | Was not the man who could bring his hand down upon so frail and ex- quisite a creature as Reuther was in those days capable of any act of vio- lence? Yes; but in this case he had been guiltless. She could not but con cede this even while yielding to ex treme revulsion as she laid his pic ture aside.
