logg for exempting Shanghai from
the war area in the present struggle
between north and south came to
naugh today when the commissioner
of foreign affairs of this, (Kiangsu)
province, issued a statement in the
name of Marshal Sun Chung-Fangf
Shanghai defender, declining to ac-
cept it.
Officials of the Cantonese govern
ment whose military forces also were
given copy of Mr.. Kellogg's pro-
posals, previously had indicated their
disapproval of the plan.
"We can only regard the effort Of
any foreign power to place limita-
tions on the Kiangsu forces as inter
vention in favor Of the enemy" says
the statement issued in Marshal Suns
note.
! The statement adds that the pro
posal undoubtedly was inspired b!
a sincere desire to help China" bu

Britisheds Uneasy

BrltlsherS Uneasy
, London, Feb. 15.=With no official
dispatches from China in the last
thirty hours, the British government
today was anxiously awaiting news
of the fate of the critical negotia-
tions at Hankow
There was a tense moment in the
house of commons this afternoon
when Philip Snowden, labor, asked
Foreign Secretary Sir Austin Cham
berlain whether the negotiations be-
tween the Cantonese foreign minis
ter, Eugene Chen, and British Charge
d Affaires Owen O'Malley had broken
down as stated in the press.
Cup to the present moment, I have
received no information" answered
the foreign secretary gravely.
CHEN DENIES IT
Hankow, Feb. 16.-Eugene Chen,
nationalist foreign minister, declared
positively today that there had been
no rupture in negotiations with Brit
ish Charge D'Affaires Owen O'Mal-
ley over the British concessions here
and at Kukiang.
Chen indicated that the nationalist
| government considered that modltl
cations on the part of the British il
their plans to concentrate armed
forces at Shanghai made it possible
for negotiations to be brought to {
conclusion.
Despite the foreign minister's as
sertion, firm belief prevails that a
a serious hitch has occurred which i
likely to prevent signing of al
agreement.

John Wilkes Booth
a Confederate Spy?

Gen. Phil Sheridan always believed
that at one time in the CiYil war he
had In bis employment as a spy John
Wilkes Booth. BE had employed a
man named Tomas as spy, but sus.
pected he was dealing with each Of
the opposing armies One day Tomas
brought a man to Sheridan and intro
dpced him as Mr., Renfrew, who also
wished to serve as q spy. Just then
Sheridan wished 10 have some bridges
destroyed and sent the two men out
on this mission. He secretly assigned
a scout to watch them. Their attempt
failed, but they had plausible explaria-
lions. They we're sent out again after
Sheridan had taken pains to let them
know there was to be big fox chase
on a certain date In which many OF
the officers were to take part. It was
a ruse to throw the Confederates OF
their guard when the spies should
carry the report to them. At the time
mentioned Sheridan had planned to
strike hard. The men were shadowed
and found to have gone to Confeder-
ate headquarters. They were arrested
on their way back but escaped. When
Sheridan saw pictures Of Booth after
Lincoln's death, he recognized him as
the spy Renfrew.-Kansas City Times

Admiral, Lost at Sea,
Makes Ghostly Visits

There are few ghosts now left III
London. Even the famous phantom in
Berkeley square seems to be at rest.
So with surprise l learnt, when dining
few nights ago in Eaton place, that
the house was a haunted one.
Once 1t was the home Of an admiral
and his wife. Now 1t is split up into
fats. 1t is of the upper part that this
strange tale is told. One night, when
the admiral was on the high seas, his
wife gave party. All at once one Of
the guests, a naval man, turned to the
hostess and exclaimed, How well the
admiral is LOOKING tonight"
The admiral's wife laughed lightly
and said, But my husbands not here.
You've mistaken someone else for him.
He's at sea, you know!" But later,
other guests, one after another, re-
ferred casually to the admiral's pres
ence. She grew puzzled and discon-
certed.
Next day she heard by cable that
her husband had gone down with his
ship.
Not only then, but on many occa-
sions since, on the anniversary of his
death, the admiral has appeared in
what used to be the great drawing
room Of the house. That, at any rate,
is the story l heard at the dinner
party. An elderly woman who sat
next to me seemed to be a convinced
believer in ghosts. 1.-THE admiral comes
into the room, smiles, walks through
It, walks back again, and then is seen
no more."-London Sketch.

Emerson Ideal Host
to Weakly Visitors

Ralph Waldo Emerson used to open
the study in his Concord home to VS.
itors one day of each week during the
winter. Chairs for the accommodation
of the company would be ranged In
circle, and the farmers and shop
keepers of the nelghborhood as well
as the Lowells, Holmeses, Alcotts and
Longfellows would occupy them side
by side. At the head of the ring would
sit Emerson, one leg crossed over the
other knee, and such was their length
and fiexibility that he could twine the
one round the other, so that the upper
foot caught behind the lower ankle.
Then, leaning forward on his elbow,
he would smilingly receive questions
and make observations. But he did
not permit himself monologues, as Al
colt could not help doing, but was
concise, courteous and genial, liking
better to hear than to speak.-Jullan
Hawthorne in the Dearborn 1ndepend-
ent.

Greek runner, Roman courier, pony

have sped the words Of man. Each

many Of the couriers lost their lives
in this service.

Weed Has High Rank
in Forces of Nature

Weeds are the wound dressers of
the soil Whenever man or nature
makes a scar, the vigorous, coarse
fbered weeds find out the spot and
straightway mend the injury. Hated
and much objurgated, the weed Of
whatever breed, is one of the most
useful forces in nature. The farmer
regards 1t as n foe, the gardener as
a nuisance. In truth, 1t is q friend
that persists, regardless of Ill treat
ment and attempts at extirpahon.
Soil, to preserve It's strength, must be
protected with some sort Of nature
covering otherwise the rains leach It,
or wash away the precious particles
Of mold that make It reproductive.
Man neglects this factor in his deal
ings with the earth. Plowed fields are
allowed to go uncovered after the
crop is harvested. Washouts are left
to take care Of themselves. So is
burned-over land. In all three In
stances great damage results, and
much more would follow but for the
energy of the weed family.-Don g.
Seitz in the Outlook.

Rings of Sun and Moon

There are two kinds of rings about
the sun and moon. Those that are
close in--only one to four or five d.

which we will call coronas, are caused
by water droplets. The smaller the
droplets, the larger the ring. The
other rings, the true halOs, occurring
much farther away, are caused by ice
crystals There are several such rings.

Do Not Force Plants

If a plant has been growing thrift

such an extent that as early as 1872
It was said that the silverware man

supply the demand. Throughout the
last century the industry has contin-

craftsmen depended largely on France
for designs and patterns, but in re-
