Hon. Important Things Hinge
on Little Turns of Chance

Upon what little twists of chance big things
depend is disclosed every day In the second
installment of Henry Wattersons memoirs he
refers to his hairbreadth escape from being To-
Gated out in the Puget Sound country instead
of in Kentucky, in which event things would
certainly have been different. 1t had happened
when he was boy that President Pierce Of
fered to name the elder Watterson governor of
Oregon, which temptation he put behind him
by declining Il have often thought" writes Col
onel Watterson now "just where | would have
come in and what might have happened to me
if he had accepted the appointment and | had
grown to manhood on the Pacific coast"
The same question has more than once pro-
pounded itself to me through knowledge OF
something few, if any others, know about In
the diary which my father kept through the
war and the years Immediately following his
location in Omaha is a record of a controversy
growing out of an effort to jump some one over
him in his position in the telegraph Office. I'M
able to secure a satisfactory decision, he re-
signed and prepared to turn his back on Omaha
and seek his fortune farther west. Under date
of April 3, 1864, is this memorandum: Wrote
letter home setting forth plan to go to Cali
fornia" Not till month later is it noted that
the matters he had objected to were adjusted
and his future definitely linked for all his re-
naming days with the growth and prosperity
of Omaha. But had he picked up and gone to
california. what?

News from abroad chronicling the recovery
of the once song queen, Adelina Patti is prob
ably to many the first intimation that she had
been i'll. Adelina Patti, now more properly adj
dressed as the Baroness Cederstrom, is well
into the seventies. Having, with my father,
visited her in her Craig-y-nos castle in Wales,
and as an outgrowth of the long-contnued per-
sonal friendship, have interchanged occasional
letters with the baroness since my fathers
death. To the last one the reply came from her
secretary only few weeks ago, reciprocating
the seasons greetings with excuses for not
writing in person because not feeling we'll
enough to do so. For some time past" it is
explained, the baroness has been in the
doctors care. Since the outbreak of the terrible
war she has been unable to take her usual
change abroad, which has affected her health,
but now we have peace we hope she will soon
be able to do so, when no doubt she will recover
her health and strength" l am sure this in
formation will have an interest for the numer-
GUS admirers hereabouts, captivatedl by her
voice when she sang here as the worlds fore
most soprano.

AS a member of the advisory committee on
labor of the National Council of Defense I am
in receipt of letter of appreciation and thanks
from Samuel Gompers, who headed that COM
mttee, in which he points to the wartime
achievements of this body and its various sub
committees mot only with pride, but with
great degree of satisfaction that comes from the
knowledge that they have been real contribu-
ton in the successful prosecution of the war"
The three big items in the committees endeav-
ors, in addition to the maintenance of the econ
omic standards of the American working men
and women are the war risk insurance to provide
for soldiers dependents against death or dis
ability, the war housing plans adopted for ship
ping, and munitions plants and the develop
ment of industrial training for the war emer-
gency 1t was mighty little the individual mem
bers of this advisory committee were called on
to do at this remote distance from the seat of
activity, but there is something in having the
chairman remember and make acknowledge
lments of whatever service may have been rem
dered.

PRINCESS IS CzAR'S MANAGER
Eudoxia, Eldest Daughter of Rul5r OF
Bulgaria, Said to Be cIeveress

Princess Eudoxia. the eldest daugl-

family. She manages the Sofia palace,
receives ministers and ENJOYS and
apologies to them for Ferdinand's
mysterious absences; runs Ecrdinand's
farm at Nitosch when Ferdinand is not
hiding there; directs his business spec
ulatiOnS and his enormous private
wealth, and. in particular, runs hia big

kovo. near the Turkish frontier.
Eudoxia is black-eyed. lively and
pretty, with an ambition, Sofia declares,
TO be married quickly, and cynics add
that Ferdinand chose the German side
Instead Of the allies because Geri.uny
has vast supplies of bridegroom of
royal, princely and ducal blood. In
Sofia, EudoXia is known as "Balkaaska
Dleva Maid of the Balkans. In
summer she makes solitary tours in
the hills, puts up in shepherds huts,
and shocks Ferdinand, who is timid
man with sharp distrust of his sub
iects, and a faith inherited from a
thousand years of Bourbon ancestors,
that women, like men, of royal blood
are three times sacred.

Blind Potters.

The new lighthouse" at Sayres,
where the famous potteries Of the
French government are situated, is eN-
pected TO prove one Of the most useful
methods of re-educating the blinded
soldiers. Making pottery is one of the
occupations in which the blind may
become adept, and, although the Sevrcs
lighthouse has been in existence only
Il short while, eight blinded men have
already been graduated from the mod
cling class into the government shops.
The French government has appor-
toned some land to the committee on
the grounds Of the Sevres potterles.
on which il is about TO build training
school for blind potters, who will be
graduated from there to other fac
tories.

cain mission which was just then about
to leave. Through the Greek legation
they applied for permission TO 20 with
this mission as members of the Amer

Now they are not only serving their
own people. but are also creating a
feeling in Greece which cements the
long friendship of the Greeks with
America. Although no American
troops have been landed on Greek
soil the people are nevertheless
pleased with the sight of an AmerI-

us to reach It."
An artists wife never admlres his

Good resolutions and ladies who

Women were made a little In adj

most important. Having told us of The
Wonder Of Var in the Air and The Won
der Of War on Land, he now offers The
Wonder of War at Sea, large and in
tensGy interesting volume in which mod
ern sea warfare is described in a way
calculated to keep a young boy up all
night unless the book is taken away at
bedtime. The illustrations are from
French, American and English newspa-
pers and official war photographs. So
much for the Wonders Of War series.
Other old faithful series are forging
ahead. One must put a tenth notch in
the Children Of Other Lands collection,
for Mercedes Godoy's When uas Girl

Porter collection for Ddre Porters Var
Honors; or, at the Front With the Fight

With fifty boys books 10 his credit,
Edward Stratemeyer, the valiant author,
is something of an expert in his line, but
it is to be feared that he has about reached
the end of his tether so far as this
particular series is concerned. Dave is
now married and he might as well be
dead. He is, in the eyes of his votar-
les. No red blooded boy will follow his
hero any further. Through battle
and murder and sudden death he
will stick to him; but marriage

A Scottish Hero

n The Land Of Strong Hen, by A. NJ.
l. Chisholm, there will be found be-
sides the red blooded adventure which the
title suggests, love, chivalry, crookedness,
mystery and other things which help to
make book of this kind interesting The
story spreads itself over 432 pages filled
with adventure after adventure.
Angus Mackay, son of an all in all
Scottish parent, instilled with the chivalry
and honor bound nature Of the Highland
country, is the hero. He is pictured by
the author as a strong young man, able
to meet every difficulty that occurs after
his fathers death, whether it be bust
ness problem or a case where physical
strength counted. Angus finds that be-
sides having to deal with the French fam
lily, the sons Of which were gamblers,
drunkards and idlers, he has to contend
with Braden, q swindler and crook, in
variably slick enough to be within the
law.
Besides all this there is romance and
many love affairs. 1t is an ideal story to
take mentioning.

CIOVANNI PAPINI, the Italian

'1ONANNl IAflNl, Inc ltdudH
~ iconoclastic and sometimes humor-
Gus, all too humorous, philosopher, has
written an amusing sketch for one of the
magazines called "The Satanic Genius" 1t
tells of the quest of a youthful worshipper
of world famous poet who lives in Paris.
The poets Satanism has thrilled the world
and made the gooseflesh vibrant where
none had vibrated before.
The breathless disciple after many at
tempts at last stands face to face with the
Master in the latter's very commonplace
apartment. And the Great Man is still
more commonplace sort Of baldheaded
and bowlegged D'Annunzio~
To the killing establishment of the
believing boy the Genius relates just how
he concocts his flights, aphorisms, demo
niacal frenzies and super-vamps. Even
shows him his catalogue of paradoxes, his
dictionaries of obsolete phrases and words,
his assortment of nude jokes, medical
terms-in fact, all the trappings and
Liberty Motors that beautify the outside
and buzz inside of Pegasus!
He relates his money wrangles with his
publishers and bows out the young man
with a satanic grin after explaining that
the water colors on the wall we're painted
by his wife.
This is the very triumph of Satanism,
but the boy didn't know it-and he prob
ably hoped off the Pont Neuf forthwith.
In the age long controversy whether
genius is a matter of infinite pains or in
spiration, Signor Papini seems to go in
for the infinite pains side. Inspiration,
anyhow, is only the result Of the infinite
pains Of our ancestors, All the words that
Shakespeare used in his plays are in the
dictionary. Take twenty thousand of
them, sit down some Saturday afternoon
and arrange them as Shakespeare knew
the trick and-poufL you'll have some
thing bigger than Ham't on your paper.
