cHlNA,s GOVERNMENT.

It is natural that the entire world should be interested in the proposed change from the republican to g. mon- archical form of government. It was but short time ago. a matter of three years, that China became a republic. It has gone through some interesting experiences since that time and now when the movement is about to suc- ceed for g. change back to the old form many of the nations are asking that there be a postponeGn~nt. Japan has led in this reruest, accompanied by Great Bsitain and Russia, and now France has lent its voice in the same appeal.
 Regardless of these petitions China does not appear to be willing to hold up operations and 1t has so informed Japan, setting forth that it is believed 1t would be dangerous to delay at this time because of the insistent demands of the people. China has indicated

RUMoRs OF PEACE,

Though the air in Europe appears to be filled with rumors of efforts for peace they are nevertheless bringing forth denials from both sides, and while an early end of the war would be highly desirable thing, it is hard ly believed that the time is ripe for settlement to be consummated.
 The visit of von Buelow to Switzer- land appears to be the reason for set- ting into motion the peace rumor and the latest report is to the effect that it is for the purpose of talking over the possibility of Italy concluding a separate agreement with the Central powers, whereby it would be eeded the territory which it demanded in Austria in return for which 1t would break with the entente powers and withdraw from the war
 If such action could be accomplish ed it would be another feather in the diplomatic hat of Germany. Italy has thus far been opposed only by Austria It has never officially declared war against Germany and is not fighting German troops. Though it's progress has been somewhat slow it is steadily forging ahead and is keeping Q large number of enemy troops engaged along it's line of battle. To have Italy with draw would release many troops for service elsewhere and the concession of the territory would be only what Italy bids fair to get in the end
 Such g. plan, however, would serious ly upset the pact of the entente pow ers in which they have vowed not to enter into such agreement separate ly and after the expenditures and sac rihces which Italy has made in getting where it has it is not believed that it will break with those nations with which it has so recently cast its lot. It would show a disposition which Italy cannot afford to display.

All other gifts apart, Miss Grierson
could boast of a degree of executive

did boast of it when the occasion Of

was sounding for Wahaska, all the ar

to give the Good Samaritan intention

Good Samaritar2.

Since she had undertaken to show

Grierson had telegraphed her father
to meet her in St. Louis on her return
from Florida.
When Jasper Grierson travelled alone
he was democratic enough 70 be salts

car. But when Margery's tastes were
to be consulted, the drawing-room was
none too good. Indeed. as it transpired
on the journey northward from St.
Louis, the Anita's drawing-room
proved to be not good enough.
1T is simply a crude insult, the
way they wear out their old. broken
down cars on us up here!' she pro-
tested to her father. "You ought to
do something about it,"
Jasper Grierson's smile was a capi-
tallstlc requirement, and some of his

always indulgent

tip from = black cigar Of heroic pro-
portions and reaching for the box Of
safety matches.
iii begin now, if you are going to
smoke that dreadful thing in this
stuffy little den," was the unfilial Re-
tort; and the daughter found a maya
zine and exchanged the drawing-room
with its threat Of asphyxiation for a
seat in the body of the car Halfway
down the car one of the sections was
still curtained and bulkheaded: of
course, the occupant Of the middle
section must be i'll. Quite suddenly
her interest became acute. Who was
the sick one, and why was he, or she,
travelling without on attendant?
With Margery Grierson, to question
was to ascertain; and the Pullman
conductor once more checking his dia-
grams in Section II, offered the readi-
est means of enlightenment. A few
minutes later Margery rejoined her
father in the private compartment.
DO you remember the nice-looking
young man who sat at the table with
US in the Choteau last night?" she
began abruptly.
The gray-wolf Jasper nodded. He
had an excellent memory for faces
What did you think Of him?" The
query followed the nod like a nimble
boxers return blow.
Il thought he paid a whole lot more
attention to you than he did to his
supper. Why?"
"He is on this car; sick with a fever
of some kind, and out Of his head. He
is going to Wahaska"
How do you know it's the same
one?"
Il made the conductor take me to
see him. He talked to me in Italian
and called me 'Carlotta mia"
"Humpha he didn't look like dago,"
He isn't: it's just because he Is
delirious
There was long pause, broken
finally by curt "Well?" from the
father.
i've been thinking" was the slow
response, ''Of course, thers is a
