Brother Horace Edmund
Billings and His
sion to Italy
Tjp HE public has

heard a good
deal about
eral members of lie
Taft family but the
youugest of the
brothers now so
much In the public
eye has thus far
managed to escape
publicity better than
the rest lie is Hor
ace D Taft The
eldest of President
n i taft EIect Tnfts broth
ers Charles P Taft of Cincinnati has
been talked of considerably because of
the contest for tho Ohio scnatorship in
which he met defeat at the hands of
Theodore E Burton nenry W Taft
of New York lias been prominent as a
member of the bar and in connection
with various occasions on which his
brother William H has been his guest
Horace has been teaching school in
Connecticut and content to remain in
the shade not even enjoying the re
flected light which might be shod upon
him from the presidential chair at
Washington were he to get in an atti
tude to receive it They wanted to
elect him a member of the Connecticut
legislature last fall but he would not
take a nomination He said Brother
Bill was getting enough glory for the
family and he was satisfied to teach
Brother Bills kid young Charlie
Taft The latter is in attendance at
his school in Watertown an institution
which has a high educational standing
Indeed Mr Horace Taft ranks high
among members of his profession as
was attested in his recent election as
president of the Head Masters asso
ciation He is a graduate of Yale like
all the rest of the family
The Rev Dr William J Dawson of
England is one of the most eloquent
evangelists this country has known
since the time of Moody Unlike some
revivalists he is a man of culture and
scholarship and his methods are not
sensational although he does not hesi
tate to depart from beaten paths upon
occasion This was illustrated during
a mission he conducted recently at the
famous St Georges Episcopal church
New York the church of Dr Stephen

ford now presided over by the Rev
Dr Hugh Birckhead a young man
who is determined that mere tradi
tions or fear of criticism shall not
stand in the way of his making his
church as beneficial as possible to the
thousands of poor and struggling peo
ple in the midst of whom it is placed
The mission at St Georges brought
within the sound of prayer and praise
and words of exhortation many who
do not often darken church doors but
in order that still more should be
reached a procession was organized
which wended its way through the
streets in the neighborhood of the
church and made its appeal to the in

the vicinity At the li d of the pn

Lawrence Lowell Other

s
jects but lyric and dramatic poetry
fiction and essays
Abbott Lawrence Lowell who has
been chosen to succeed Charles W
Eliot as president of Harvard univer
sity may be described as author law
yer and professor of the science of gov
ernment He is a brother of Professor
Vjf SC iftftmSiel
PBOFESSOIt ABBOTT LAWRENCE LOWELIi
Percival Lowell also of Harvard
whose astronomical discoveries have
given him wide fame
When President Eliot tendered his
resignation in November to take ef
fect in the spring there was at first a
strong sentiment in favor of selecting
a comparatively young man as his suc
cessor President Eliot himself was a
young man only thirty five when he
became Harvards head But it is ad
mitted that he was exceptionally well
qualified for the post for a man of his
years when he took it The sentiment
in favor of choosing a scholar and man
of affairs of large experience and wide
reputation grew stronger as the weeks
passed by and resulted in the choice
of Professor Lowell He is fifty two
but in full vigor and it is believed he
will have twenty years of activity be
fore him He has proved his ability in
every field he has entered and is a rare
combination of the man of the world
and of the university leader He is
not only the most popular but the
keenest lecturer in the university
And so far as concerns the amenities
of the presidents position including
the proper entertainment of guests and
the relations between the head of the
university and the undergraduates he
can be counted upon
Professor Lowell was born in Bos
ton on Dec 13 1S3G and was gradu
ated from Harvard in 1S77 He then
took a law course receiving his de
gree from Harvard Law school in
1SS0 and being admitted to the bar
the same year In 1S77 he married his
cousin Miss Anna Parker Lowell For
seventeen years the practice of law
demanded tho greater part of his at
tention but he continued to pursue his
favorite study of comparative govern
ment Several books on government
and on politics in continental Europe
published during this time gave- him
high standing as an authority on the
science of government and in 1S97 he
was called to be lecturer in that de
partment at Harvard
Three years later on the establish
ment of the Eaton professorship of the
science of government he was appoint
ed to that chair
In the last year he has published a
work on The Government of Eng
land which has attracted wide atten
tion and brought to him the honor of
election as president of the American
Political Science association in succes
sion to Ambassador Bryce whose
American Commonwealth brought
him the same distinction

A LITTLE FISHS TRICK
How the Puffer Discomfits His Enemy
and Saves Himself
AH the lltltle sea folk have their
own clever way of protecting them
selves from their enemies but the
spiny boxflsh has about the cleverest
way of all
He belongs to the great family called
puffer and you will see in a moment
how well the name fits him
Just imagine the little puffer swim
ming around in the water looking like
a small round box with a head on A
big fish comes along sees the little
puffer and thinks Theres just a
good mouthful for me But just as
he darts toward him the little puffer
blows himself up like a ball turns
over on his back and floats around
with all his sharp prickers sticking
out toward his enemy
The big fish is dazed he stares at
the puffer and thinks Can that great
prickly thing be the same little fish
I tried to swallow He cant un
derstand it but he sees there is no
use trying so he goes sadly on his
way and when the little puffer is
sure he is gone he just empties the
water out of his skin and goes back
to his usual size
Now isnt that a pretty clever trick
for a little fish to play But you see
Mother Nature gave the little puffer
just that kind of a body that he might
escape from his enemies St Nicho

A SCOTCH RING
One of the Royal Jewels It Had a
Melancholy History
The traditional history of the Scotch
regalia ring is of the most tragic not
to say melancholy character It is be
lieved that it was the favorite ring of
Mary Stuart and that after her ju
dicial murder in Fotheringay castle it
was transmitted to her son From
James it descended to Charles I at
whose coronation at Scone in 1633 it
played a distinct part Once more did
this ill fated ring figure at an untimely
and ill merited death for with almost
his last breath upon the scaffold at
Whitehall Charles bequeathed it to
Bishop Juxon in trust for his son
In due course of time the ring came
Into the possession of James II and
was carried away with him on his
flight to the continent When however
he was detained by the fishermen at
Sheerness the ring which had been
secreted in the kings underclothing
only escaped robbery by the luckiest
of mistakes on the part of the sailor
who searched him Thus the ring was
passed on uninjured to James de
scendants till by bequest of Cardinal
York it became the property of the
reigning dynasty once more and was
by them replaced among the royal
jewels of Scotland from which it had
been separated for many a long year

MR FARMER Are you looking ahead for your son or if you are a renter
are you looking ahead for yourself Aie you going to accept this chance for a
homestead that Uncle Sam has made possible for you Aro you dozing over this
while your more alert neighbor is acting Dont you realizo that tho irrigated
homesteads now being offered by tho government in the Big Horn Basin and tho
North Platte Valley will prove to be the richest land prizes that tho government
has yet bestowed on its citizens You certainly ought to know of tho present
land hunger in this country Now you have the government furnishing you 80
and 160 acre tracts of land irrigated by the intelligence and financial security of
Uncle Sam who has suddenly become the greatest irrigator tho world has ever
known who offers you abundant and perpetual water with the choicest land at
35 to 45 per acre in ten annual xiayments without interest land that will yield
more in one year per acre than the price of tho farm Do you realizo what a
good thing this is in this day and age If you do not let me tell you some
thing about it Personally conducted homeseekera excursions first and third
