LEAGUE COUNCIL HAS
FIRST MEET In PARIS
Task of Presiding Should
Have Fallen to Wilson De-
clares Presiding Officer.

Paris.-The council of the league OF
nations received the first formal pro-
test to be presented to it almost be-
fore it came into being with Fridays
initial sessions. The protest was from
"the ENJOYS of the elected government
of the Irish republic" against the un-
real English simulacra of an interna-
tional league of peace"
Representatives of France, Great
Britain, Italy, Greece, Belgium, Spain,
Japan and Brazil members Of the
council of the league of nations met
In the CLOAK room" Of the French for
eign office at 10 o'clock Friday morn
ing for the first meeting in the history
of the league
The council organized at 1890
o'clock by electing Leou Bourgeois
chairman and confirming the choice
of Sir Eric Drummond of Great Brit
ain as general secretary.
The first official act Of the council
was the appointment of commission
to trace upon the spot the frontiers OF
Leon Bourgeois, French representa-
tive, who presided, said: THE task
Of presiding at this meeting and In
augurating this great international In
5titution should have fallen to Presi-
dent Wilson. We respect the reasons
which still delay final decision by our
friends in Washington, but express the
hope that their difficulties will soon
be overcome and that a representa-
i've of the great American republic
will occupy the place awaiting him
among U.S. The work Of the council
will then assume definite character
and will have that particular force
which should be associated without
our work.
January 16, 1920, will go down in
history as the date of the birth of
new world. Decisions to be reached
today will be in the name Of all ma
tons adhering to the covenant of the
league. 1t will be the first decree Of
all free nations leaguing themselves
together for the first time in the
world to substitute right for might.
But the organization of the league of
nations will not be complete until the
assembly of all states meets"
Earl Curzon, British secretary Of
state for foreign affairs and that ma
tons representative on the council of
the league, said:
"On behalf of the British Empire
desire to express the loyalty of my
government and the external domin-
ions of the British crown to the spirit
underlying the covenant Of the league
of nations. 1t is our intention by
every means in our power to insure its
practical efficiency. 1t is our firm
belief that through its instrumental
ity alone we can hope to insure that
such miseries as the world has exper-
fenced during the past five years shall
not be repeated, and that a new era
of international relationship shall
dawn"
NJ Bourgeois proposed London as
the place for the next meeting of the
council, and this was approved Lord
Curzon suggested leaving the date and
order Of business open to be decided
by the chairman and the secretary,
since, he said, 1T will be necessary to
consult the United States on a great
many questions likely to arise"

cITY-MANAGERs' SALARIES.

Tampa, about to step out from the
dark ages of the old aldermanic form
of government, into the more progress
sive ways of cities which have sue
cessfully tried out the City Manager
form of government, has collected
some Illuminating facts about other
places under city manager and COM
mission government.
The Tampa Tribune Of Sunday. July
Is, says:
'The average salary paid by the
seventeen cities named below is s6,37o
per annum and this average is
changed less than $500 by taking from
the list the two cities paying the
highest amount $4,000.
Tampa must pay it's commissioners
sufficiently large salary to make
them feel their duty to give a great
part of their time to the city. Any
paltry sum would be considered as in
sufficient for any material part of a
business mans time, and therefore,
without at all intending it, there would
be apt to grow stealthily, and steadily,
habit of letting George do it.
1--WE have the making of good
charter; we have able men at work
rounding it out into the completed in
strument We must now be turning
our attention to the men who shall be
elected as commissioners and to the
class Of man who. shall serve under
them-and what the commissioners
and the manager shall be paid The
people after all, are going to be re-
sponsible for the kind of charter we
have, and for the kind of city we will
have after we get the change. For
just as true as light follows night, it
is also true that no city government
can be superior to the people who
compose that city, and as the peoples
ideals are exalted, so will the results
of government be.
1.-THE cities in the United States re-
ferred to in this article having over
10000 (by the 1910 census) having
manager form of government and the
salaries paid them, are:

ulary of the .Pearlhunter was in his
eyes; and they were slow eyes. He
ventured glance across her face,
while his hand absently felt along the
fence. His fingers found a piece of
loose bark and broke it into bits. The
girl could not know the ghosts her
words had waked-the mystery of the
hair-covered trunk; that crimson
scrawl on the tablecloth.
And is the story all so wonderful
for rea1ly?"
1t was characteristic of the PEARL
nunter' STEPPED In caution by his life
among dangerous men, that he should
reply by another question.
"Oh-that you had spent your life
searching for the pearl-the pearl
that you found it at last-that you are
what they call clean hunter. I
don't know what that is, but is sounds
nice. And he said"-the girl hesitated
that nobody more deserved to find
the Blue Moon than YOU"
No one could help meeting the
frankness of her eyes. The Pearlhunter
couldn't. Tt was heatening sight just
to see the light that for a moment
cleaned across his bold. clean; cut
face.
II don't know about that last" he
said, in his slow way, as If he had to
try the mettle of each word before let
ting it fall. But the rest is true. I
have hunted all my life; and I have
hunted clean; and I did find the Blue
Moon"
The girls smooth finger were laced;
her eyes wide.
"And is it Ike the inoon-round-
and is it b1ue?"
Round as a marble; and blue-a
faint little mite Blue-like the full
moon in cold sky"
The Pearlhunter could talk, when he
didn't have to feel his way-when he
spoke Of things he knew. And he did
know fresh-water pearls.
The storekeeper said it was worth
five housand-dollars."
She ventured the word-a state
ment In form; a question In intent
as if half suspecting that the store
keeper had exaggerated; anxious to
hope the story might be true, yet
fearing it mightn't.
"The storekeeper was right"
She unlaced her fingers, clapped her
hands together softly
isn't it wonderful" she cried. "Why
you could buy the Flatwoods! And
Wolf Run; and Fallen Rock; and every
tree; and every birds nest would be
yours! And you could keep the chop
pers away forever"
Hardly that" he answered, sudden
ly thoughtful. But I know what
shall do.''
Something splendid I know"
Another statement with the intent
of a question. He seemed to feel it
called for a reply.
IT don't know that it's splendid" he
said. Tn going to buy some BOOKS;
and then
He hesitated. The grill dropped her
eyes and stood toying with the bonnet
strings around her arm. She did not
mention that the storekeeper had told
her the tragedy of the grave at Fall
len Rock; Of mother who had died
the very evening of success; whose
eyes had not been permitted to rest ON
the faultless sheen of the jewel for
which she, too, had searche a lift

THOUGHTS OF THE OTHER SIDE
By Frank L. Stanton

I've been thinkin' O. meetin', an lovin'
there by the Jasper sea,
But Id rather the woman-Jenny, than
the angel shes goin' to be!
I'd rather hear her s.ngin' over the
fields of dew,
Than the harps of the handiest angel,
back o. the bending blue!
make no doubt, when it's over-this
life, with it's songs an signs,
Wen change the green o. the clover
for the gold O. the glistenin'
skies;
But give me a little cabin, where the
dear earth lights I see,
An there, with the roses round her,
Jenny to welcome me!
Wen all be changed in a twinklin',
but I'll say, when I reach the
shore;
Don't want no change in Jenny for
ever an forevermore!"
To think of her as a spirit--all made
out O. the mist
The smile that made my heaven-the
red lips that 1 have kissed!
Let 'em take the shinin' places, an
keep the harps o. gold!
Ienny's Jes' all o. heaven hiatt the arms
o. me would hold
Give me the little cabin where the
lights O. home I see,
An stead of thousand angels, Jen-
NY to welcome me!

I do not remember when a trivial
Incident so upset me as did the in
science of the man in the office of the
taxicab company, I felt almost as if I
could not wait to tell Dicky about it
as If I must go down to the taxicab
myself. 1t did not seem possible that
any responsible company could have
such an unspeakably insolent person
in its employ.
Fortunately, however, for my nerves
and temper, I had no time to dwell
upon the treatment I had received. I
must summon another taxi at once,
and hasten my dressing or l would not

Danger Threantens.


"They call. me the-the-Pearl-
hunter" he stammered after time.
The girl seemed to ponder the word.
She was fast losing her first distrust,
just as any other creature of the
woods loses it when convinced no dan
ger threatens.
IT knew-that," she answered. THE
storekeeper pointed you out to-day
when you went to the bank. I mean
your other name"
The blood leaped to his face. The
innocent question staggered him. He
stared past her into the trees.
Its all the name 1 have!"
She saw instantly that she had hurt
him. The pain that subdued the smile
in her eyes was worth the hurt. She
