By Katherine Hopson. (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) "Nino men out of 10 would!" "But there Is still the 10th one." Sibyl Clark shook her head. ‘‘Sometimes I doubt It. I believe they all prefer beauty to any other quality. And I don't blame them—I don’t blame Ralph for admiring Ethel Martin. I do, too. Bike rnost very plain people, I fairly worship beauty In others. "It’s unfortunate this girl came to visit In Ennlsburg Just now, when things were a bit difficult between you and Ralph any way," Mrs. Underwood, Sibyl’s married sister, re-arranged her embroidery hoops with a worried frown. "Better now than—later." Sibyl’s laugh was a little forced. "There’s something I’ve been thinking ft long time; but haven’t had the courage to say." Mrs. Undrwood regarded her sis ter reflectively for a moment. "I have felt for Borne time that you and Ralph ought to break your engagament.” Sibyl started In surprise, but her sister continued: "If you had married four years ago when you first became engaged, all might have been well. But you both decided to go to college and during this time you have grown apart. You have both changed He has developed tho friv olous side of his nature, and you have grown to look on the serious side of life a little too closely. If you had attended the same university', von might have acquired some of the same ideals; but since you went to radically different the re sult la what might have been e^^aoted." Sibyl laughed a little unsteadily. "That's —that’s pretty strulght talk, Sis " "I know It. that's why I’m giving It to you. Think It over ." 81bvl agreed, and In truth was com pelled to do so. as a little later she saw Ralph Coston stop his car for Miss Mar tin, tho girl who was visiting next door. Pretty, fluffy haired Ethel Martin ap peared never to have ft serious thought In the world, and she and Ralph were laugh ing gayly as they rode by. Sibyl watched them from behind the curtains In her room. "I wonder how Ralph thinks I feel about his marked at tentions to Miss Martin. But he doesn’t care- that’s the point—and wrhy should I?" "If It Is such a good day for autolng. I’ll go, too." Hastily she dressed, and at the last moment before leaving her room, drew' from her Anger the engagement ring w'hlch for four years had been such an Integral i>art of her life. She was an expert driver and her trim little runabout spun rapidly down the smooth roads. It was one of those days In midwinter which seem a forerunner of spring and the rest of It gets Into the blood. In spite of troubles. Sibyl found herself In tune, and fell to thinking—not of Ralph and the present situation-hut of old days at the university. Since her graduation last spring she had not had time to ad just herself to the new order of things, and often mlsHed the old friends. Ralph, who had graduated from an eastern col lege at the same time, had thought best to postpone th«tr marriage another year until he could adapt himself to business In the snug berth awaiting him In his fath er’s ofJJce. "If he had had to get out and rustle for a jjosltlon ns did most of the fellows who graduated In my class. It would be better for him,” Sibyl had often thought to her self. Memories of old classmates brought to h>r mind Kenneth Collins, the one she h.'.d known best She had seen a notice In the paper of his recent arrival In Fin nlsburg to spend a few days at the home of an uncle. "I hope I shall see him while he Is here." On and on she went, paying little heed to her surroundings, until she noticed her way ahead was blocked by a large tour ing cor with which the driver was ap parently have trouble. He was down be side it busy with wrench and tools She saw it was the Reeve's car. and with a start recognized Kenneth Collins as the driver in misfortune. “This is worse than college algebra," called she. stopping her car alongside. He turned, pleasurable surprise lighting up his frank pleasant face. "Sibyl Clark! l?y all that's lucky!" He drew off his gloves and came over for a cordial handshake. Immediately conversation turned on the subject of his difficulties ■»r* ?he oar "I can't find out what's the matter with the thing.” acknowledged he. “If it were a horse. T should he right at home, but a big touring car like this Is not my native heath." "tree's so* If T ran discover what's wrong.” She alighted and Joined In the search for the cause of the balkv car. Soon it was revealed to be of so serious a nature as to require the services of an iff pert machinist. "It's only about half a mile from here to the Wayside Inn. Ket me take you there, and you can telephone to town for some one to come and mend the oar." Collins gratefullv consented on condition she would have lunch with him at the Inn. They talked of old college days, of the work, and play and old friends there. Then Collins launched Into a description of the new position which had Just been offered him In the chemical department °f a large manufacturing company. “Tt'a a chance to do a man’s-size work and fee] one Is doing some actual good In the world testing the food supply.” A* he talked on about his hopes and ambi tions, 81 by* listened, every faculty alert. After all there were men with high vi sions. She contrasted him with Ralph Coston, who had lately repudiated her “soul-talk.” Suddenly In the midst of what he was saying, Collins broke off—his keen, gray eyes on her ringless hands: “You're not wearing your—your diamond now?” “No,” she answered. “I used to feel that that big gllnty dia mond you wore bored like a gimlet through my soul. Rut now you no longer wear it. I’m free to say how I have al ways cared for you-” “Oh. no, no, you mustn’t say It,” she protested, for there was no mistaking the i exnresslon in his eyes. He glanced around the rapidly filling dining room. “Of course this Isn’t the ] place to speak. A girl has a right to the prescribed setting—moonlight and that sort of thing-” Sh'e spread out her hands denrecatlngly. “Oh. It isn’t that—the moonshine part. In fact, I prefer the practical light of day—” “So do T. I've always had an Idea that a life contract agreed to In broad, sane daylight would be pretty apt to stand the wear and tear of time.” “Especially when one Is as plain as I am—then there would be no disillusion- \ ments.” Her smile was a little bitter. "You—plain? Why. 81b. you’re you—and that’s always enough for me.” Her eyes grew misty, brtt before she could apeak thev were interrunted by a waiter, who said apologetically: “Beg pardon, sir; the man from the garage 1* here.” “Very well. T* 11 be there In a minute.’* Then to Sibyl: “Time and automobile* wait for no one. May T come over tomor row at 10? That's a practical enough time to suit anybody.” She laughingly nodded In assent. Sibyl got into her own runabout and drove rapidly back home. She was glad not to encounter nrv one on the veranda or in the hall, and had a long quiet time in her room for thinking of things. For a time she was uncertain, but the return of Ralph and Miss Martin to the house n»*xt door decided her. There was a look of rapture on his face as he helped out the other girl that Sibyl had not seen in hi* face for her sirce their first engaged sum mer. “That engagement was founded on moonlight and propinquity, but this oth er-■’* She studied her face In the mirror. Her frank, almost rugged features, and seri ous brown eyes looked back at her. “At last Kenneth knows me Just as I am—he has known me In classroom and campus for four years.” Resolutely she got out her writing ma terials and wrote a letter—a letter that re quired much thought and some revision, hut when It was finished she wrote Ralph Coston’s name on the envelope and sealed It without a tremor. Then with a last, long look at the ring which had played so vital a part In her early girlhood, put It In its velvet lined box. wrapped it up and addressed it for mailing.

From the Clinton Herald. Seventy years ago Iowa was a frontier country which attracted large numbers of settlers from the east, much as in our own day the newer states of the far west have been the goal of thousands of home seekers. The spirit of the times is well Illustrated by the following extract from an Iowa City newspaper which has been preserved in the library of the State His torical Society of Iowa. “Vast numbers of people will no doubt be seeking our territory. The new pur chaae will draw a host of emigrants, while the settled part of the territory will doubt less acquire a large addition of popula tion. The starving hordes of Europe, the unrequited labor, and the unemployed but willing hands of Industry, and a goodly number, as usual, of the loafers society from the Ohio valley, the south and the east will ho traveling to Iowa. We take this opportunity to advertise, for the benefit of emigrants generally, that a good number of tanners and leath er dressers, boot and shoe makers, sad dlers, blacksmiths, stone masons, chair makers, and manufacturers of wooden ware. etc., will find business, good wages, and cheap living in Iowa, and there Is a special and earnest call for about 6.000 good looking, industrious and sweet tem pered young women." Canadian labor unions demand the establishment oil an old age penelon syatem through out Canada I DOWAGER EMPRESS OF JAPAN PASSES AWAY Queen Mother Dies, in Pres ence of Royal Family, Fol lowing Long Illness. Toklo. Special: The Dowager Em press Haruko died at the Imperial villa at Namazu today. Following the usual custom In the case of the death of a member of the Imperial family, the official announce ment of the event will not be made until the body has been transferred to the capital, prohably tomorrow. Her majesty died suddenly In the presence of Emperor Yoshihlto, the empress and the other members of the royal family, who had been summoned from the capital. The Imperial patient had developed deceptive symptoms. She displayed In creased vigor and asked for food. A short time afterward her majesty be came unconscious. The doctors in at tendance applied restoratives but with out avail. Her majesty had been suffering for a considerable period from angina pec toris, but the official diagnosis de clared that Bright’s disease was the direct cause of death. The Dowager Empress Haruko was the widow of Emperor Mutsuhlto, who died on July 30, 3 912. She was born on May 28. 1850, and was the daugh ter of a nobleman, Ichijo Tadado. In 1869 she married the late emperor and was declared empress. Haruko, by the side of her husband, passed through the troubled period of the transformation of Japan at the be ginning of Mutsuhito’s reign. She saw him transfer his capital from Koto to Yedo, which was later renamed Tokio. She watched with curious in terest the opening of the country foreign commerce, its departure from old world customs and its adoption of western civilization. She awaited In the imperial palace news of the Jap anese armies at war, first with China and then with Russia, and saw the complete evolution of Japan into a world power. CHAN-CHAN. RUINED OLD CHIMU CAPITAL, IN PERU Chan-Chan, the ruined old capital of the Chlmus, Is not In China, nothwith standing that the name might suggest such a location to the uninitiated. If the Chlmus ever lived In oriental lands our archaeologists have failed to discover the fact. They were Americans, just as were the Incas, whose traditions traced back an unbroken line of kings for 1-000 years before the Spanish con quest, and whose civilization Is so much better known to us; and once upon a time these same Chlmus were formida ble rivals in all the arts of war and peace, of the Incas. They dwelt along the shores of Peru, as did the Incas on the high Andes, and like the Cartha ginians of old, were a seafaring people. “Mystery abounds in pre-Columbian America,” writes Walter Vernier in the March issue of the monthly bulletin of the Pan American Union, “and the far ther modern research penetrates into the ancient civilizations of Mexico, Central America, and the west coast of South America, the more the mystery of their origin seems to deepen. Among the problems presented to archaeology and anthropology none, perhaps. Is more fascinating than that of the Chimu pto ple of Peru. What we read of these dwellers of the north coast of the land, made famous by the Incas, is contained in casual references by the early Span ish chroniclers; what we see of their civilization consists of stupendous ruins near the modern town of Trujillo.” The ruined temples and palace walls of this ancient city, richly ornamented In bas-relief, the vast irrigation works, the mounds containing the sepulchers of once powerful rulers, all indicate that the ancient Chlmus were worthy rivals of the "children of the sun” who finally conquered them. The Incas, so tradition says, came from the south to settle the region once occupied by an ancient race of Cyclo pean builders. The Chlmus of the coast are said to have come from the north on a flotilla of rafts, and savants are not agreed as to the time of their Invasion. Some think there Is evidence of two earlier civilizations; others that everything points to a relatively short occupancy of the valleys, extending over only a few centuries prior to the advent of the Spaniards. Racially the Chimus. in common with nearly all the Pacific coast peoples of South Ameri ca north of Chile, present the charac teristics found among a large portion of the ancient and modern inhabitants of Central America and Yucatan, ut terly distinct from the highland type of the Inca conquerors. lie tnat as it may, there are re markable evidences of the advanced civilization of this extinct race. The irrigations works, aqueducts, reservoirs and canals whose ruins may still be seen make It certain that the en gineering skill of the Chimus was of the very highest order. The water was brought down from the Muc.hl river, which was tapped at a considerable distance from the city. The aqueduct Is 60 feet high and from the top of the ridge overlooking the city one can trace the plan by which the water was distributed down the slope over the city and the surrounding land. Every where are canals and reservoirs irrigating fields and gardens, pro tected by a great wall which ran for mfles on the inland side of the city. A study of these canals suggests a dif ferentiation in Irrigating land for cotton and corn cultivation. The long staple cotton of Peru was ex tensively cultivated even in this re mote period, and finely woven cloth, dyed in gorgeous colors, was worn by the wealthy Chimus. In the art of pottery they were in advance of even the Incas, for all the remarkable work In clay that has been excavated In Peru none can compare in skillful workmanship with that found in Chan-Chan. Some of these eastern vessels representing human figures, heads and groups, were portraits of contemporaneous persons, and the ob server Is struck with the forcefulness with which the varied expressions of the (ace are depicted. It Is from relics such as these that we get our knowl edge of the Intellectual, moral and re ligious life of these ancient Chimus, whose only living trace may be found in the language, the Muchica, still spoken In the port of Eton, Peru, and the neighboring territory. The em pire was conquered by the Incas some 150 years before Pizarro arrived upon the scene and as a race they have vanished from the face of the earth, having been scattered and finally ubsorbed >y the conquerors. Essential of Sovereiqnty. From the Kansas City Star. “You are no king at all." said the earl of Salisbury to King I.ouls IX. of France, “since you cannot enforce justice.” The enforcement of justice has been re garded always as the hall-mark of sov ereignty. There is really no other func tion of organized society than to see that justice la done between man and man, and between man and th© state. Certain* ly, the Ideal of justice and the fact of Justice vary with varying times and civ ilizations. But the sovereign power (which may be a pure democracy) lacks sovereignty In Just the degree that one man or set of men can take an unfair ad vantage of another. If a child does not get the pure air and food that is requisite to an equal chance for strength and life that any other child has. th© reproach can rightly be made to “King People” that was made to Saint Louis: “You are no king at all, since you cannot enforce Jus tice.” And bo one could go up and down the line In that broader conception of jus tice. But even In th© restricted sens© of Jus tice enforced In courts of law, the people ar© no king at all If they do not have the administration of justice purely In their hands. And if justice Is In large measure In the hands of privately paid attorneys, so that one man can get better service In “the king’s courts' 'than some other man, then th© sovereign power has been in vaded. There ar© those who say that Justice should no more be free and open equally to all In Its legal administration than should the allotment of food or th© dis tribution of clothing and houses be free and be taken out of th© field of Individual effort. But these do not see that Justice Is the very breath of society, or its life blood. They do not see that justice should be free In courts of law; and that, In the field of Individual effort, It should be free In this parallel sense—that every man, woman and child should enter the lists for food and shelter and clothing and happi ness unhandicapped by conditions which he does not control. Subsidizing a Monopoly. From the Chicago Tribune. The ships on the Atlantic coast which will receive subsidy under the present canal toll act are owned as follows: By railroads . 61.9 By shipping consolidations. 32.0 By other lines. 6.1 100.0 In other words. 93.9 of the shipping on the Atlantic coast to which rebates are to be paid are owned by great corpora tions. This trust is guaranteed against com petition by the law which forbids foreign owned ships to carry between American ports upon any terms whatsoever. It has guaranteed itself against com petition by the aqquisition of practically all the dock privileges on the Atlantic coast. In New York only are there any substantial number of municipally owned docks. But New York Is positively under th© control of Tammany Hall, and Tammany Hall is In close alliance with the shipping trust. An independent company would be rash Indeed to take a lease from an occasion ally reformed administration, because by the time It had invested money and es tablished business, Tammany Hall, back In power, would find a way to cancel th© lease or make it undesirable. The seacoast shipping trust is 1n inti mate alliance with the railroads running from the seacoast ports. Even though the Interstate Commerce commission might prevent discrimination in rates to benefit the corporation owned ship companies, it could not prevent th© monopoly getting preferential service and the benefit of the railroads’ local freight agents in the collection and distribution of freight. The opening of th© Panama canal will not stimulate competition In seacoast carrying. The subsidy to be paid to these coast carriers will not stimulate compe tition In coastwise carrying. It is not meant to do this. It Is meant to foster and feed the only remaining monopoly which has the strength to fight openly to control our government. Incomes of Farmers. Active and Retired. From the Chicago Record-Herald. Statistics require intelligent and skillful interpretation, and the chances of making honest figures “lie” are many and seri ous. Still, no amount of allowance or salt destroys the Interest or significance of the recent bulletins of the department of ag riculture on farming, farmers and farm ers’ incomes. The first of these showed in a general way that the average income of the American farmer was very small when measured In cash returns. The second, which summarizes the results of a study of several hundred farms in the prosper ous middle west, shows that the retired farmer who lives in the town or city on his income gets only about 3% per cent on his Investment, while the average labor Income of the farmer is a little over $400. A tenant farmer, whose capital invest ment is naturally smaller than that of an owner, has a larger labor Income. Small returns on capital and low “labor incomes" of farmers are attributed in the official bulletins to various factors, but unscientific methods of cultivation, high cost of transportation, bad roads, ineffi cient organization of distribution, unused capital and neglect of resources are among them. The real moral of the bulletins Is not that “farming doesn’t pay,” but that farming, like everything else, requires efficiency and method. More agricultural education, rural credit, co-operation in marketing products, proper use of mod ern machinery are necessary to agricul tural prosperity and progress. Rural life should not be left to take care of itself on the cheerful assumption that “prosperity comes out of the soil.” Brains and or ganization are increasingly necessary to coax prosperity out of the soil. Fortu nately the problems of rural life and la bor are now being studied as they have • never been studied before. The young generation in rural sections will make no mistake In sticking to the soil and avoid ing the rush to the cities and the over crowded trades or professions. Sentenced to Read the Bible. From the Christian Herald. Justice Henry Ulrich, of Baltimore, hae taken to sentencing habitual violators of the law to read the bible. The first of such sentences was Imposed on a young woman of respectable parentage, who had been arrested more than 100 times. A few days ago the young woman lolled against the brass railing that rims his desk and pleaded, "Guilty and proud of It. Do you get that?" to the charge ot being drunk and disorderly on the street. After a lecture Justice Ulrich said: "Now, Victoria, I’m going to give you another chance to make good. Can job read?" She answered, "Tes, sir!" "Then I sentence you to come to this station house evefj' Sunday morning and spend an hour with the matron, reading the bible. Either that, or the ’cut.’ ’’ Victoria chose the bible. When she ap peared the next Sunday morning, she had evidently made a brave effort to appear respectable. She has been going to the station house every Sunday for weeks now, and she thinks she will never fall by the wayside again. That was the first ease. Justice Ul I IcTi was led to apply It again, and it Is i working well. He is positive that he has found a plan that works._ Ear Traininq and Rhythm Applied. Dr. von Lteblch, In Woman's World. Doubtless you have heard how a fa mous Russian authoress, being asked to recite a poem in her native tongue, thrilled an American audience, moving her heaters to the verse of tears and of laughter, by saying aloud for them the Russian numbers from one to 100. It was. of course, her voice that thrilled them. Np one of the audience under stood Russian, and it is said that they all felt rather “cheap" when she told them of h?r trick, and made them ail admit that they did not know what it was all about.
