Mollie, with the superiority of her

WASHINGTON, d. c., May IL.
--Powderless, noiseless, smoke
less, barrelless, a marvellous new
type of gun is to be tried out at
Fort Hancock, near New York;
promises to revolutioniZe warfare
and is SPONSORED BY A WON
AM
These claims are made for the
gun: 1t will shoot anything from
doughnuts to dynamite, can be
operated by an unframed man or
woman, its aim is more accurate
than that of ordinary guns, 1t can
be built in machine shops at
fraction of the cost of weapons
of the present type, 1t takes up
little room; a model carried in a
3-foot cubic box will shoot seven
or eight miles.
Mrs. Kathryn M. Etonton of
Whitestone, L. l., is the angel"
of the guns inventor. A friend,
knowing her interest in prepared
ness, brought him to her, and,
although skeptical at first, she
finally rented a shop in New
York and personally superintend-
ed the construction of the first
gun.
Her husband, Frank Mcmillan
Stanton, mining engineer, influ-
enced the government to test the
invention.
The first model tested worked
SO we'll officials asked Mrs. STAN
ton to build larger one - a
really destructive gun. The new
gun is nearly ready for test.

story. told her had been asked
to write something of the kind.
and that If she would permit me l
would try and write about her
struggle.
Il think, Mollie, that she felt
SO sorry for me lying here that
she gave me permission to do
this"
What kind of q story is it,
Margie?" asked Mollie.
IL is the trials and tribulations
of a girl left alone in the world
without money and obliged to
earn her daily bread"
That sounds good. IL were
you, ! would commence 1t right
away"
"Oh, / know Mollie why you
are saying that. You want me
to start something of this kind
because you think it will take my
mind off of myself"
That is not wholly the reason,
dear" said Mollie, thoughtfully.
IL have long thought that some
one ought to write the story of
the girl who is alone in the world
and who must make her own way. |
l don't mean those out-of-the
usual girls who resist every temp
tstion, big or little, or those who
are so weak that they fall into
sin almost without knowing it.
What every girl wants to know !
is how the girl like herself-the
average girl-treats certain COM !
mon sins and moral lapses;
whether it is better to lie a lit |
tie or to sorrow much; whether |
there Is any mercy in women, or
justice in man for the girl who
puts everything to the test and |
fails. and II this failure means
forever"
Mollie stopped suddenly. She
was much moved. / could see
she, too. had had her temptations.
She, too, had fought the battle.
You should write the story

ScuIptor's Prophecy.

Suddenly, in the midst of his work,
Arnold Ronnebeck, who was designing
the decorations for municipal bridges
in Berlin, was overwhelmed by a
strange and unaccountable feeling of
sadness. 1t was not like a mood, but
rather like a deep shadow cast over
him and his work. He was under con-
tract to do the work, but he could not
keep at it. Finally he yielded to what
was for him a mysterious impulse, and
let his feelings have their way with
him. No one was more astonished
than he when he had finished, roughly
but with simple power, a figure of the
crucif1ed Christ and the mourning
women.
He~could not explain it. He wrote
to friend: III felt had to do it.
could find no other symbof to express
my sense of tragedy. But as soon as
1t was done felt relief, and I am
working again."
Did the war fling the shadow of the
cross over the sensitive soul of the
artist, and was his mood born of the
inner knowledge that there was to be
another crucifxion, and that again
throughout the world there would be
women mourning at the foot of the
cross upon which humanity was bleed.

Mexico there have been hundreds, ex-
tending over four years. If the peo-
pie of Louisiana had entered on a
sustained campaign to rob and MUIR
der all the Italians in their state, the
general government would have stop
ped them, as it stopped the mining
troubles in Colorado. If, ON the other
hand, the disorders had spread all
over the country as they have spread
all over Mexico, if hundreds of Ital-
ians had been murdered and thou
sands robbed, and our government
shown it couldn't or wouldn't protect
them, we would have had war with
Italy, and combined Europe to back
Italy, as China had war with Europe,
the United States and Japan in con-
sequence of the Boxer rebellion. There
is no excuse for our Mexican policy
our strength had been used to protect
Mexican bandits, while our weakness
has abandoned our own people to a
persecution as cruel as that launched
against white men and women by the
Chinese in 1900.

Great Names Die Out.

It is curious how rarely our military
and naval supermen leave direct pos
terity in the male line. In the three
cases of Lord Roberts, Lord Wolseley
and Lord Kitchener the succession has
passed out of the usual direct male
line. Lord Nelson was succeeded by
his brother, for whom in fact the earl
dom was created in recognition of the
hero's last and greatest exploit. Lord
Howe, victor of the "GIorious First of
June" left no son, and the barony
of Howe descended to his daughter.
The title conferred on Lord Strath-
nairn is extinct, and there is no long
er Lord Clyde. Lord Arson, the
great sailor who girdled the world, left
no children, and the title was recre-
ated for his Observation-Disclosures
Chronicle.
