A CONTINENT OF MARvELS.
Some of South Americas Greatest In
the World"

Some of South Americas Greatest In
the World"
Bring on the superlatives! We write
of South America, the continent where
are the worlds greatest mountain
ranges, densest forests and largest riv-
ers.
Just for instance, the Amazon river
system has over 10000 miles of navi-
gable waterway, enough to tie two
loops around our planet. 1t can be
navigated for $500 miles by ocean
steamers, a greater distance than from
New York to Panama.
The Rio de la Plata is 120 miles wide
at its mouth!
And Notwithstanding all Colonel
Roosevelt's discoveries South America
still has the largest unexplored area
of any continent.
Almost everybody knows that Brazil
Is larger than Europe or the continental
United States, but the size Of the
little" republics is not 80 well known.
Texas could be lost twice In "little"
Venezuela and still leave room for
Kentucky and Tennessee.
Peru could comfortably swallow Cal
ifornia, Oregon, Washington, Nevada.
Arizona, Utah and Idaho.
And 1t is over 1900 miles from one
end Of Chile to the other-almost as far
as from New York to Glasgow!
Gold Is found In every state Of South
America, and from Potosi alone. tho
famous peak of silver" In Bolivia,
more than $1,000, 900 in silver has
been mined In the last three centuries.

Germany continues to court an
Inhalation. Even in little Costa Rica
her agents have been discovered in a
conspiracy to overturn the existing
government. There appears to be no
nook or corner of the globe wholly
free from Teutonic Vaccinations. 1t
is apparent that so sure was Germany
OF success in her undertaking of be-
coming mistress of the world. that she
deliberately took steps to ALLEVIATE the
friendship and respect of every nation
on earth. not excepting her allies.
When the war is over she will have no
where to turn for aid. comfort or
trade. She will need all three as no
nation ever has needed them before.
She will find herself deprived of the
lives of millions of her ablebodied cit
liens. her treasury empty, her credit
gone. her trade ruined herself hated
and despised. 1t is a fearful price to
pay for the furtherance of the ambi-
ton of one man. Is it not true that
the world should put an end forever
to autocracy?

The Hunter spics Rusty.

One morning in the late autumn
when the trees were nearly bare ana
when the leaves and twigs on the
ground were so frosted that they
snapped and cracked under foot
Rusty and his pretty mate started out
for mornings fun.
Lets go down by the big river,
suggested Rusty, who felt that moth
ing short of fine big trip would sat
isfy him this fine morning (How little
he guessed the journey he was soon
to takeD
II don't know about that" object
ed Mrs. Rusty, who was much more
careful than Rusty ever thought of
being, you know it's getting late in
the season and the later 1t gets, the
more danger there is from Hunters"
II know that" laughed Rusty, but
there aren't any hunters this sea-
son."
You mean, you haven't heard any
Hunters yet this season." corrected
Mrs. Rusty.
We'll, all the same thing" replied
Rusty good naturally, Il haven't
heard Hunter this year and | don't
mean to lose a fine play just be-
cause one might come. indeed 1
dont!"
"welr'-said Mrs Rusty only half
convinced.
And any way" continued Rusty,
"even if a Hunter does come. do you
think I'd let him shoot me? No sir, he
couldn't do thati I'm too quick for
| himi"
That's a better way to talk said
Mrs. Rusty and the worried look left
| her eyes right away. Il don't like
you to feel safe, Rusty, just because
| the Hunters haven't come yet be-
cause they might come any day and
then you'd be fooled and perhaps
killed. But if you will watch out and
be ready for flight any minute, I'm
not afraid to go anywhere you wish
| to, ready I'm not. I'll start now"
And away Mrs. Rusty flew towards

TRAWELETTE
Japanese Women.
BY NIKsAH

It is a curious fact that to find a
parallel to the status of Japanese wo-
men today one must go back to the
early days of unconquered Greece.
The Grecian wife was a timid, house
bred and uneducated creature, who
saw no males except her husband and
imm ediate relatives. Her sole duties
were rearing her children and super
viSing her slaves. The women who
appeared at entertainments, who were
generals. belonged to another class.
called the haeterae, who never mar
ried, but were often brilliant and &C
complished.
The Japanese wife today occupies
almost exactly the same position as
did the Greek wife, and the element
of fascination of entertainment and
ious creature. the Geisha girl.
Geisha girls learn their profession
of entertainme in schools to which
they are sent at about the age of
seven years. At the age of twelve or
Whereabouts, they begin their work as
doorgirls at garden parties and ban
quets, where they remove the shoes of
the guests. The full fledged Geisha is
a mistress of coquetry and small talk,
and sometimes person of genuine
intellectual attainments. She is al
ways a carefully selected and Guilt
waited beauty. immortality, as we call
it, is not an essential part of her pro-
fession Some Geishas marry men of
wealth and of influence; some WELD
great influence them selves as the mis-
tresses of such men. Occasionally a
Geisha will educate her lover with her
own earnings, and finance his career.
The Geisha, in a word, is the roman
tic element in Japanese life, as her
oval face and dainty figure are the
motif of so much Japanese art.

Senator La Toilette alone is made to
bear the blame for the almost COM
plete disappearance of American ship
ping from the Pacific ocean. But why
put the whole weight of censure on
the gentleman from Wisconsin? What
were the other members of congress
doing while he was putting over his
PET measure designed to knock the
American marine out of business? No
one senator even as gifted a man as
La Toilette can enact a law unaided.

power of veto. The Wisconsin SEN
