The circus seems to be the only

Wo believe In affording all possible
encouragement to the budding poets,
but our advice to that young woman

It Is announced, with apparent seri
ousness, that .Miss lOllen M. Stone has'
decided to return to her old field of
missionary labor in Macedonia, where
uho had a sensational adventure with
Jrlgands two or three years ago. If
tho report be true it is only necessary
to say that, In view of her experience,
Miss Stono ought to bo prepared for
whatever may befall her and that she
ought not to appeal for ransom money
if tho bandits capture her again. In
other words, Miss Stone knows exactly
what chances she is taking and wis
isavo nobody but herself to blame if
uho gets Into trouble again.
When the Marquis, of Queensberry
seeks In court n ilcenso to carry a gun
to protect himself and his children
from tho deadly onslaught of the reck
less automobller, It is apparent that
over-speeding and scorching through
city streets is by no means an evil con
fined to strenuous Americans. Since
lines are Ineffective, It Is now suggest
ed that tho ancient law of the deodand
bo revived and the punishment shifted
to the machine that does the mischief
Under the deodand of yore a cart run
ning over or occasioning the death of
a "reasonable creature" was forfeited
to the king for pious purposes. If for
cart automobile be substituted anil In
place of tho king a society for the pre
tention of cruelty to reasonable crea
tures u modern law of the deodand, the
proposer coutends, would prove a gen
uine blessing.
The task of arranging for the suc
cession to a throne In a hereditary
monarchy is sometimes as complicated
ns that of nominating a candidate for
tho presidency in America. The Count
of Plunders, brother of King Leopold.
Is tho heir t tho throne or llelglum,
kh the kl'ig has no sons. The count
Hrh agreed to renounce his claims to'
the succession when ni brother dies,
and to permit Prlnco Albert, his son,
to succeed. Prlnco Albert, however,
has not yet been declared tho succes
ql of Leopold, and the European dis
patches announce that there Is some
hesitation about asking the parliament
to consent to tho formal declaration
of tho change, becauso the socialists
would object to allowing forty thou
sand dollars a year to Prlnco Albert
to support tho dignity of his position
Tho socialists think that the king or
tho Count of Flanders, both wealthy
men, should provide for tho prlnco
out of their own fortunes.
Professor J. Lawrence Luughlln ol
tho University of Chicago laments In
tho Atlantic Monthly tho present ten
dency to denounco the getting and
keeping of wealth, as If riches were in
themselves Immoral and the talents by
which they are gathered and stored
branded their possessors as criminals.
"If men had not been, decade after
decode, saving and storing up capital,"
says Professor Luughlln, "It would bo
as Impossible to employ the great mass
of laborers now existent as it would
bo to feed an army on promises In
stead of on solid rations." That Is
true, and It Is also true that without
capital stored wealth nono of tho
great advances of what we call civili
zation would have been possible. Take
tho discovery and colonization of
America as an illustration: All the
zeal of Columbus, and all tho willing
ness of those who believed in his idea
about a shorter passago to the Indies
to devote their brains and bodies to
tho task of finding it, -would have been
unavailing had not capital been found
to equip tho expedition and to pay tho
crows and care for their families dur
ing their absence. Without the aid of
capital Columbus could never have
left the shores of Spain. All the de
votion of the Pilgrim Fathers and all
their patient endurance of hardship
would not have won then) freedom to
worship Cod as they wished without
the help of capital. Stored -wealth,
saved and accumulated In the past,
was necessary to send them across tho
Atlantic and feed and clothe them
there until they could begin to savo
and store for themselves. Without
capital they could not have started
from Holland, much less could they
have existed In the new homes they
sought. Why Is the earth so much
more populous to-day than ever be
fore? Not because Its natural re
sources are greater. They are less,
for some of them have been destroyed.
Partly because men have found out
better ways to extract food from the
earth, but chiefly because the stored
wealth, created and acquired In tho
past, makes It. possible to feed more
children through the years of helpless
ness Instead of letting them die or kill
ing them as savages do lest there bo
more mouths than food. Discontented
as any of us may be with civilization
as it is, it is time that wo all recog-'
nlzed the fact that stored wealth or
capital Is its Indispensable foundation.'
Labor cannot, save under very excep
tional circumstances, oven live by It
self alone. The most Industrious fam
ily, planted on the most fertile sbll,
without some stored wealth, would per
Ish In a few days. It must have food
every day. It must have arms to
hunt or tools to dig. And all these
are capital, the savings of some one In
the past. Many of us may not like
our civilization, but it is time that all
of us stopped talking nonsenso about
curing its Ills by abolishing capital and
treating as criminals those bees of tho
human race who savo and store wealth
for It. To do that Is simply to re
turn to the most degraded, helpless,
and miserable savagery. And wo all
know this when we once clear our
minds of the current cant about capi
talists and capital.

One of the charms of travel, partic
ularly among historic scenes, Is the
privilege of realizing more fully that
past of which we have read and
thought, and dreamed. Hut much read

so rich in memorials of the past as is

Of course, the lover of art or of arch
eology should avoid all miscellaneous
alliances, and If ho cannot fall In with
those who know, let him take a guldo

Htraw Beds of Royalty.
According to one of the old Eng
lish chronicles royalty In 1234 had
nothing for a bed but a sack of straw
Even In tho day of Queen Ellzabetl
nt least half of the population of Lon
don slept on boards. Blocks of woo
nerved as pillows. The sleeping chain
ber of tho queen was daily striwt
with fresh rushes. Carpets were un
known. Henry VI. immediately oi
arising tossed oir a cup of wine. Tea
coffee and chocolate were, of course
unheard of nt that time. Sugar wai
to be had only In drug stores .in
then by the ounce.
It is a suspicion lu every man'
mind that his family never xot$ half
the fruit his wife put up. -

OU8T THE DEMON.
A TuhbIc with CofTce.
There is something fairly demoni
acal in the way coffee sometimes
wreaks its fiendish malice on those
who use it.
A lady writing from California says:
"My husband and I, both lovers of
coffee, suffered for some time from a
very annoying form of nervousness, ac
companied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there wai
eventually developed some sort of af
fection of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
"I was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension of the nerves
drew it to one side, causing me the
most Intense pain. We got no relief
from medicine, and were puzzled as to
what caused the trouble, till a friend
suggested that possibly the cpffee we
drank had something to do with It,
and advlswl that we quit It and try
Postum Coffee,
"We followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to line Postum
we both begun to Improve, and In a
very short time both of us were entire
ly relieved. The nerves became steady
once more, the headaches ceased, tho
muscles In the back of my neck relar
ed, my head straightened up und tho
dreadful pain Hint had so punished mo
while I used the old kind of coffee
vanished.
"We have never resumed the nee of
(he old coffee, but relish our PoHtuiu
rtory day an well an we did the former
beverage. And we are dellghtod to
find that we can glvo It freely to our
rhlldren aUo, eometblng we never
dared to do with tho old kind of cof
feo." Name given by Postum Co., Bat

Postum CofTc contains absolutely

TRACING MISSENT LETTERS.
iyntcm Adopted by tlto 1'ontofllce Da
imrtmciit. An interesting examplo of tho moth
ids of tho Post Ofllcc Department In
racing tip a lost or mlssent letter la
Jie case of a news letter mailed at
pumberlnnd, Md., and addressed to
tVnshlngton, says tho Washington
Itar. This letter was sent to Freder
ick, Md., and arrived at Washington
t day later than expected. Coi -plaint
ints made to the postal authorities,
S'illi tho result that it was traced from
!ho thno of Its deposit lu the mail car
5o that of its arrival in Washington,
md the clerk responsible for tho er
ror was located.
In the matter of registered letters
1 is a simple tiling to trace them, but
fdiore there is no record kept of a let
:cr and the only tiling to depend upon
b the postmark, It is entirely differ
ent. This inquiry passed through four
:een hands before being returned to
:ho complainant, that number of otil
:iuls being engaged in its care en
route.
Tho original complaint went to tho
shief clerk of tho railway mail serv
ice stationed at Baltimore, who for
warded the memorandum to the post
master nt Frederick for Information
is to how ho got hold of the letter
iddressed to Washington. He replied
M tho chief clerk that tho letter was
In a package marked for the Fred
Brick olllce, but that ho did not know
now it came to be sent there.. Tho
Met clerk at Baltimore then sent an
Inquiry to the clerk In chnrgo of the
train by which the letter was dis
patched to Frederick, asking how tho
iC-tter was disposed of on his train.
It went to him by way of tho superin
tendent of tho railway mail service,
who Indorsed It: "Please continue in
vestigation." The clerk replied from Cumberland
that tho letter was dispatched in New
York & Grafton Hallway post otllce
train No. 4, nt 2:1S a. m., April 27.
rhls reply came back to Washington
and another inquiry was sent to tho
transfer clerk at Cumberland. He
made reply according to the informa
tion he had and the matter continued.
At last came the reply to tho com
plainant. It read:
"Attention Is Invited to the report
of the superintendent of tho third di
vision of the railway mnll service, in
aicatlng that the railway postal clerk
responsible for missending this let
ter has been located, 'fills otllce re
grets the annoyance caused by this er
ror and hopes tho action tnkon (a
reprimand to the clerk and a caution
to be more careful lu future) will pro
vent its repetition."
. A Wonderful Jiiiihling.
"Without doubt one of the greatest
buildings in the world is in the strange
and remote part of the globe which Is
often alluded to as the 'Forbidden
Land,' " said Thomas Dawson of Eng
land to tho Washington Post. "This is
tho palace of the great lama, in
Lhassa, the capital of Tibet. Tills dig

The building contains 3,000 room,
many of them being of great size. Ti
