AC0NSUL'S DUTIES
They Are Highly Important From
a Commercial Viewpoint.
HIS WORK is ALL FOR TRADE.

He Must Guard ZeaIousIy the Interests
Of Our Land In Shipping Matters and
In All Lines Of Business, and Must
30 Ever Alert and TactfuI.
If the United States were so great
that it could be entirely Independent of
the rest Of the world it would need no
diplomatic or consular service. but no
country in the world is so great as
that.
The diplomatic representative must
concern himself very largely with po-
litical matters, must be in constant
communication with the leading states
men and with the court-if there Is
one-in the country to which he is &C.
credited; he must give dinners and
parties and mingle in what Is called
society" but he is useless If only
ornamental.
The consul is expected to occupy
himself with all commercial matters,
to guard jealousy the shipping inter-
ests of his country and to report ex-
haustively to his government on con-
ditions Of trade as far as they affect
the interests Of his country. He does
not have to spend SO much money for
social entertainments as his colleagues
in the diplomatic service or worry so
much about the irksome details OF pre-
cedence and etiquette Except on very
rare occasions he does not 60 to court.

States is growing in importance and
efficiency every year. Commercial
questions between nations are the
causes very often of difficulties that
the diplomatic representative must try
to settle, but the foundation OF the
practical side of our diplomacy rests
on the consuls. On their experience
and alertness depend our trade oppor-
tunities.
The consul deals In business way
with business people, and he must
learn their methods of managing al
fairs. There are young men VINO look
on experience in American consulates
as the best possible preparation for
active business at home. But, as
rule, those who enter the public serv-
ice in foreign countries ought to make
it their life work, especially as our
government has taken the wise course
of making it career and not a re-
ward for political loyalty
A consul may live as quietly as he
pleases; he is not expected to entertain
either visiting Americans or the people
Of the country in which his post is.

WOULD SERVE TWO PURPOSES
Proposal of Miss Butterfly to Go as Army Nurse Met Little Opposi-
 ton From Mother.

The modern well-to-do mother said to her daughter:
 Have you scattered everything about your room until it has hope less air of confusion?"
 T have, mother"
 Have you taken all the towels out of the linen closet and strewn them over the bathroom floor?"
 Yes, mother"
 Have you had lot of extra things charged to your dear papa that he doesn't know about?"
 "Yes, mamma"
 And exceeded your allowance? "Yes, mamma" Then don't you think you ought to do something serious?" "I do, mamma, and I think it would be just beautiful to be a Red Cross nurse You know, I read aloud quite we'll, and it would be so delightful to sit by the bedside of those charming soldiers and smooth their brows. And it would help to bring out my charac- ter, wouldn't it, mammal"
 Her dear mother was thoughtful for a moment. Then she replied sweetly:
 "Yes, darling; and, besides. it would give us such rest."-Life.

Education City Girls Miss.

City girls of any class rarely if ever have any domestic education or train. ing unless they get it in their schools. They are taught the boundaries of the United States and the source of the Nile; they learn that if you buy prod ucts at certain price and sell at 8 higher you make money. but what to do with the money when you make it no enc discusses. It is all making money or things, never the right use of money or things, that is impressed upon boys and girls from their primary class on to the bitter end. The chil- dren of well-to-do families in smaller places have opportunities for educa- tion in the real things of life which these others often lack, but since our grandmother's day education and train ing in home affairs within the home walls has been neglected to a dan. gerous degree.-Woman's World.

 Calls head suddenly went up in startled inquiry. She wanted still to defend Allison; but she dreaded what was to come.
 We wouldn't sell him Vedder court at his price; so he took 1t from us at six million less than he originally of Tered. He did that by trick, too."
 All three women looked up at him in oreathless interest.
 He had the city condemn Vedder court" went on Sargent. If he had condemned it outright for the Munich pal Transportation company, he would have had to pay us about the amount of his original offer; but his own pri yate and particular devil put the idea into his head that the Vedder cour, tenements should be torn down any how, for the good of the public. Sc he had the buildings condemned first destroying six million dollars worth of value; then he had the ground con demned! Tim German probably got about a million dollars for that hu manitarian job!"
 A wild fit of sobbing startled then all.

 Again that great fear of him pos sessed Gail. She feared many things. She feared that, in spite of her deter imitation, he would still have her, ana in that possibility alone lay the other fears so gruesome that she did not dare see them clearly! She knew that she must retain absolute control or herself.

 The free and entirely uncurbed en. joyed an unusual treat. It had a sen. sation which did not need to be SUD- ported by a hectic imagination or a lurid vocabulary. Vedder court had been condemned for the use of the Municipal Transportation companyi A new eight-track, double-deck tube was to be constructed through Crescent island to the mainlandi
 Grand climax! Through this tube and into Vedder court, at the plat. forms of the surface and L and sub way cars, were to come the passenger trains of the new Atlantic-Pacific rail. road, line three hundred miles short CT than any now stretching between Broadway and the Golden Gate! Any reader of the daily press, of whom there are several, knows precisely what the free and entirely uneurbed did with this bit of simon-pure infor- nation. The glittering details began on the first page, turned on the sec ond continued on the fourth, jumped over to the seventh, and finished back among the real estate ads.

 Isn't that accounted clever?" asked Gail.
 50 is the work of confidence man or wire-tapper!" was the retort. But they are sent to jail just the same. The Inland created something It built, with brains and money and force, and sincere commercial enterprise, line which won it well-earned supremacy of the Pacific trade. It was entitled to keep it; yet Allison, by making with 1t tricky contract for the restricted use of the key to it's supremacy, uses that very device to destroy it. He has bankrupted, or will have done so, a two thousand mile railroad system, which is of tremendous commercial value to the country, in order to use a hundred miles of it's track and remove it from competition! Allison has ere ated nothing. He has only seized, by stealth, what others have created. He is not even a commercial highwayman. He Is commercial pickpocket!"
 Gail had paled by now.
 Tell me one thing" she demanded. Wouldn't any of the railroad men have employed this trick if they had been shrewd enough to think of it?"
 "A lot of theln," was the admission, after an awkward pause. Does that make it morally and ethically cor rect?"
 You may be prejudiced, Jim," inter- polated Aunt Helen, moving closer to Gail. If they are all playing the game that way, don't see why MT. Allison shouldn't receive applause for clever play"
 You bet I'm prejudiced!" snarled Sargent, overcoming his weariEess and pacing up and down the library floor He came near playing my road the same trick he did the Inland Pacific. He secured control of the L. 6S C., be- cause it has a twenty-year contract for passage over fifty miles of our track, He'd throw the rest of our line away like peanut hull, if he had not promised Gail to protect me. I'm an object of charity!"
 "Oh!" It was scarcely audible cry of pain. Aunt Helen moved closer, and patted her hand. Gail did not notice the action.
 Why did he make you that promise, Gail?" demanded her uncle, turning on her suddenly, with a physical motion so much like her fathers that she was startled.
 He wants me to marry him." fal- tered Gail.
 Aunt Grace sat down by the other side of Gail.
 Have you accepted him, dear?" she asked.
 There was a lump in Calls throat She could not answer! .s. She'll never marry him with my

HIGHER PRICES FOR
BOOKS IN GEORGIA
WILL BILL PASSED REDUCE THE
PRICE PAID FOR BOOKS IN
THIS STATE.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 17.-Why are
Georgia children obliged to pay such
higher prices for school books than
children in other states? Is there a
school book trust? If SO, does it fix
the prices for this state?
More than once these and kindred
questions have been agitated in the
legislature and in the public prints,
yet no relief has been secured. Will
the school book bill which was passed
by the legislature at the session Just
closed have any effect in reducing the
prices?
In this connection some new and in
teresting figures have just been pre-
pared. According to Alex +. Reese, of
this city, Indiana buys the same school
books that Georgia buys and pays 20
to 30 per cent less; California furn-
ishes school books at 4S per cent of
the cost in Georgia; the province of
Ontario, Canda, buys text books at 2S
per cent of the price paid in Georgia.
Mr.. Reese declares that if elected
state superintendent of schools he will
secure cheaper school books for the
children of the state, or let the people
know who made it impossible for him
to do so.

IS GEORGIA A
LAWLESS STATE?
REPRESENTATIVES, SHOW RE.
SENTIMENT OF IMPLICATION
BY KILLING BILL.

ATLANTA, Aug. 17.-Resenting the
implication that the state of Georgia
is lawless state. the house of rep
resentatives yesterday killed by an
overwhelming majority the bill which
came from the senate authorizing the
governor to remove the county sheriffs
for misconduct malfeasance, failure to
perform their duty and various other
causes.
Fought through the senate by Sena-
tor Ogden Persons, president of the
senate, the bill was never popular
with members of the house and had no
active champion to push it along. The
rules committee of the house allowed
the bill to come to vote through the
influence of Representative Fullbright
of Burke, member of the committee
and supporter Of the bill.
1t was through the discussion of the
bin that President Persons of the
senate got into a controversy with the
sheriff of Chatham county concerning
the alleged non-enforcement of the
state prohibition laws on Tybee Is
land. The misunderstanding however,
has now been strightened out, and the
president of the senate and the sher-
iff of Chatham have exchanged felicit-
Gus letters.
