AS Marta said. what could be the harm?'
So, when their misgivings all were routed
by their prankish daughter, they notified
the sculptor they would come to spend the
weekend with him Immediately after
heir arrival from Cuba.
And the pretty and romantic Miss Marta
loved the Prince almost at first sight-just
as he had loved her at his first glimpse OF
her bronze image perched at the edge OF
his fathers harem fountain!
Father Sanville was shocked. Then he
was angry Then he became argumenta-
tive. And when he began to argue Marta
had him at her mercy. No one could
argue with the dimpled and charming Miss
Marta
Before she gave her consent however,
Miss Sanville asked pointed questions
about the hundred other wives in the
harem Of the Prince back at Manipur-and
about all those Oriental traditions and GUS
toms which make of the wife chattel,
mere plaything, of her husband, one or
many ornaments In a domestic treasure

his harem He would take Christian
vow as well as an oath to Mahomad, his
prophet. that none but she should ever
have even the littlest corner Of his heart
or the smallest mite OF his affection.
There was one inmate OF the Princes
harem, however, who did not submit with
meekness to her dismissal This was
Purna, Tamil girl, who had been pre-
scented to the Prince by his father upon
the birthday which marked his sons ar
rival at the "age of sagacity." Puma, who
came from Malabar, long had ruled the
harem OF the Prince as his favorite. She
had built up for herself great power in
the state affairs Of Manipur, welding her
influence over both the son and the Raja
himself through servile ministers and
court attaches.
Purna tossed her pretty head with silent
defiance when che was told the Prince
was about to discard her.
The pre-nuptial banquet, a ceremony
upon which the bride-to-be insisted as a
sign of the new era her installation In the
kingdom as the only wife OF the heir APP
parent, was celebrated in the great harem
halls OF the Raja's palace. To the banquet
came all the dignitaries OF the neighboring
states. Some, even, came from far Cal
cutta and Singapore. The British Resi-.
dent and other representatives Of the King
OF England and Emperor OF india also
came to sit at the banquet spread on the
cushions especially piled for them.

del Plata the sculptor-best known, per-
haps, for his portrait busts of famous men
and women of America-in Havana, at
work upon the bronze images of President
Merocal, the great Cuban statesman
Gomez, and their dark-eyed wives a..
daughters. In Havana, too, there was I
family of John Sanville, Of New York an"
Newport The Sanville sugar plantations
are the largest in Cuba and the Sanville
fortune is imposing.
When the sculptor met, at a ball In the
Presidents palace, the beautiful Miss
Marta Sanville, debutante daughter Of the
wealthy plantation owner, who had gone
to the Cuban capital with her mother for
the Winter gayeties, he remembered his
commission from the Raja Of Manipur.
Here, he believed, was the typical Ameri-
can girl-lithe and graceful, eyes and
cheeks eloquent of health giving tennis
and golf and horseback. shapely hands and
slender feet q tribute to her ancestry.
Miss Sanville's eyes twinkled merrily
when she heard from the sculptor's lips or
the desire of the Indian ruler to ornament
his harem with marble statue represen-
tative Of the femfninity of America. she
pleaded with her amused mother and her
austere father until they gave their per.
mission.
After many weeks of posing and model
ing, a masterpiece took form under the
delft fingers of the sculptor. With great
care the completed figure, daintily poised
on the rim Of the fountain basin, was de-
livered to the Raia's palace
The fame of the statue spread through
out Manipur. British officers and their
wives we're admitted to the harem to gaze
upon It. One and all they declared 1t to

When Prince Masthan, the Raja's son
and heir to the throne OF Manipur, re-
turned from his service in France with
the troops sent by his father to aid the
Allies, he asked at once to be shown the
beautiful statue, the fame OF which had
reached him at Paris
His visits to his fathers harem became
more and more frequent. His division of
caresses among the hundred wives in his
oun seraglio became less and less gen.
erous. Each day, while he gazed at tho
bronze image OF the unknown American
girl he moved the divan and dwelt anew
upon the beauty of the silent, dainty fig
ure with new and changing heart thrills.
Determined that time and distance
should not thwart him, the Indian Prince

A Dangerous Balance.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )

There is old saying to the effect that one-half he world does know the other half lives It is rue enough But it is doubtful if any considerable aumber of Americans aware Of the truth or ztatistcs recently made public by the Census Bureau which prove one-quarer of Americas population dwell in cities
 study of these figures discloses that one-tenth of the nations people live in the cities of New York Chicago and Philadelphia, while more than one quarter live in 67 cities having population ot l0O, 900 more
 Three cities having a population of 1,ooo,OO or more have combined population of l0,l45,521, an increase of 19.5 per cent in ten years.
 This focking the cities is unhealthful The migration from the farm is too extensive The proper balance of population is disturbed
 What be done to turn this current of life forward? Here is why houses are scarce and rents high, why labor is short on the farms
 Rural life must be made attractive and profitable. But how? This is problem which the people would be delighted to hear explained by candidates for the Presidency. The economic situation involved s of the highest importance. It's consideration and solution worthy of and will demand the best genius of American statesmanship
 Efforts tG divert the farms newy-arrived i'm migrants well enough but not in themselves sufficient.
 Congestion of population in the cities not only continued hardships for the poor, but retard ing of all true progress and prosperity generally
 If many of those poorly equipped to succeed in the trades could be combined with the vast army of what may termed transient labor, which is to be found in every city and be attracted to the farms taught and helped to develop intensive cultivation the country would be vastly benefited.
 Government wages during the war period created an unfortunate condition. Unskilled labCr-a labor still is reluctant return to agricultural pursuits But proper proportion of labor must return or the nation cannot endure.

The shipment of coal from Australia to Alaska is of the sad comments on the policy of con servation as applied this Territory When the coal lands of Alaska were withdrawn in 1906 the action was taken in the name of conservation-which IS supposed to stand for the prevention of waste.
