that Sir Walter SCOTS "Ivanhoe" is Just
as popular in the French tongue as in
the English:
"The war dragged on year after year. 1t
was to last until the middle of the thir-
teenth century, and the characteristics of
all the outlaws were united in popular
character, Robin Hood. 1t is this parsonage,
a sort of wandering cavalier and MARTYR to
patriotism combined, whom the great Eng
lish romancer, Walter Scott, in his novel
'lvanhoe,' has placed a veritable pedes-
tai, making him national hero of the Mid
die Ages. In Ivanhoe' Robin Hood runs to
the defence of prosecuted innocence and of
outraged justice. And the knight-errant
king, Richard Cnur de Lion, ends by finding
in this outlaw the rarest qualities of heart

GINSENG MARKET IN CHINA
Depression In Business Reported Past
Year; Sale Of the Root eelno
Much Below Normal.

The market for ginseng in Hong.
kong and the China field generally
is depressed, and dealers look for lit.
tie revival in the trade until well to-
ward Chinese New Year. Usually
there is a quickening in the trade as
cool weather comes on, but so far the
past year, and in spite Of the high ex-
change value Of silver which ought to
stimulate the trade, the sale of the
root has been much below normal,
says Consul General George e. An
derson, Hongkong. Arrivals have been
below normal and the demand has
not kept pace with the supply. An auc-
tion Of a lot Of American root on con-
signment recently brought fair prices.
Two days later a similar lot Of as good
n not better root sold for little more
than half the price brought by the first
lot, and private sales made later were
on a still lower level. Uncertain po-
litical conditions In the interior OF
China are given as the chief reason
for the present slump in demand, but
uncertain financial conditions due to
the export Of silver and copper coin
age from the provinces as well as the
existence of piracy and other disorders
in some districts have also had ma
terial influence.
Sales have been irregular and the
market may improve at any time. The

FILLING HER CLUB NIGHTS
How One Girl Succeeded In Danish.
Ing Loneliness Caused by Civ.

Barbara Carson felt bored as she
sat toying with her book under the
light Of the table lamp after dinner.
1t was club night for the girls Of her
set, and she pictured them enjoying
the excitement Of the lights and the
music as she had done every week
through the winter.
She had had to admit, however, that
the tone Of the club-night dances had
gradually grown lower as the winter
wore on, and she had made up her
mind to break away from this group of
young people. She wanted to attach
herself to persons who were more
worth while.
In remaining away tonight she had
taken the first step, but she had not
realized how Hard 1t was going to be.
Just then her mother entered the
room and noticed the troubled look in
her eyes.
"What is the matter, dear?" she
asked. "Has something made you I'M

was worse than the first. The man
merely had soul to let. Where he
made his mistake was in not getting in
