The debate in the Reichstag on the colonial policy of the Imperial government has been very Instructive. The speeches of the chancellor and the new 'rtlrector of the department of colonial "Talrs, Ilerr Dernberg, one of the eapns of Industry elevated by the erarot Into a place that was regarded in the past a3 the "plum" of some prince or haughty aristocrat, were particularly noteworthy. Herr Rebel's ecathlng attack on the colonial administration dealt wit houtrages and brutalities on the natives that were the outgrowth of ignorant and Inefficient direction, and was therefore no reflection on the new administration. Tho most remarkable feature of the official declaration was this that Germany contemplated ultimate autonomy In all her colonies on the British-American plan. Nothing can seem more Revolutionary to the feudal nobility of ;i Germany. That the whole colonial policy of Germany has been a melan- " choly failure, financially and morally every intelligent German recognizes; but there is no agreement, by any means, us to tho causes of this failure. Yet to outsiders the truth has long been perfectly clear. Tyranny, cruelty, red tape and junkerdom do not develop either trade and Industry in a remote colony, or friendly relations between the natives and the superior clvilizers. Militarism makes splendid lighting machines, but neither armies nor navies create commerce. The German chancellor and his new Colonial director have precelved all tills, and they have virtually announced n. new policy. Colonies, they have said, tire no longer to be considered naval "points of support," but outlets for the Superfluous population of the empire The younger men for whom there are no opportunities at home are to be encouraged to emigrate to the colonies and grow up with them, self-govern merit being promised them as the goal of their efforts. Meantime, Instead of tRyonets ar.d blood, railroads are to be Mo, government's Instruments of paci fication of native insurgents. Herr Dernberg told the Reichstag that Amer ican experience In the Philippines has taught the world that the railroad and tho steamer are the best carriers of Civilization to wild interiors. In short, conciliation and Industry are to be the watchword of Germany's colonial policy In tho future. This im plies a new standard or emcieney, a thorough re-organization of the service at the Center and in the colonial branches on a basis of personal merit. The new director is a mail of affairs, a man who knows nothing of aristocratic and bureaucratic notions and if he is to have a free hand great changes may be expected. Apparently the chancellor Is a genuine convert to modern ideas cf colonial administration, and it is a safe inference that he voices the sentiments of the kaiser. Is, then. Emperor William becoming modern, too? Is he beginning to realize thd utter incompatibility between his alert, active mind, his great ambitions, his optimism, and his fear of free speech and of criticism from liberals and social democrats Indianapolis Star.

INFLATED PRICES Hall Calne is bringing out a 50-cent book in London In order to prove that it would pay the publishers better to Issue new books at that price Instead of at the usual $1.12. "Mr. Hall Caine," said a New York editor the other day, "has felt for some time that books should come down. On his last visit here he insisted that the present price, in view of the cheapness of modern publishing methods, was too high. He said that the publishers were like the druggists. "And he Illustrated his meaning with a story: "There was n druggist in a certain town who was famous for an ointment of his own manufacture. He sold this ointment at J1.05 a box. A customer came to him one day, took a box of the ointment and asked if he wouldn't throw off the odd money for a poor man. " 'Well,' said the druggist, 'you look like a deserving case, so I will.' "The customer grabbed up tho ointment, threw down a nickel and bolted. " 'The dollar's the odd money 1 meant, he explained hastily as he shot out of the door. "The druggist rushed out Just in time to see him turning the corner. " 'Go on, you beggar!' he shouted. 'I've made 3 cents out of you as it is.' " Th Middle Class Novels. Is It true that the modern EngTWh novel reader insists upon hearing about the rich or the great? I can hardly think so, when I remember the many successful works of fiction dealing with costers and Scottish ministers. Journalists and typists, actresses and novelists. The Disraeli type of novel seems almost extlnot, and the great bulk of works of fiction deals with tho middle classes. London Lady. Keen Scent of Dog&. Sometimes what seems marvels cf Instinct may be only proof of remarkably keen senses. A dog carried far from home in a closed wagon or in a box may go back, quickly and unerringly, by following the odor of the wheels of the vehicle in which he was taken through unfamiliar roads. Not all dogs can do such things, but some have powers of scent which are almost beyond belief. Voices of the Motor 'Bus. The excruciating din made by the motor omnibuses is worse than ever.

j X 1 i ;i j i Heredity Triumphal "Eky Alica L.o-Os1t Carjon Copyright, 150G, by E. C. Parcels X A shrill whistle echoed along the sunny avenue. Mary Dexter jumped from her seat on the porch, scattering embroidery silks in all directions. She waved her handkerchief in response. Then she ran into the house calling: "Aunt Linda! Where are you? Here's Dave Green to see you!" Without waiting for a reply she returned to the porch just in time to greet the young man who came up the steps. "Glad to see me, Mary?" he asked as with a hasty glance around she put up her face for a kiss. Then the two sat down on the top step in earnest, subdued conversation. Mary Dexter was a maid of nineteen with a fresh peachblow complexion. Today, wearing a simple white frock, she looked her bebt and knew it. In a few minutes an elderly woman came out the front door. Her hair, worn as a coronet, was silvery white, though she was only forty. Age had touched her face lightly, pressing in the wrinkles with loving fingers that left only sweetness in the expression. IJuroor told a romantic tale of Linda Pennington's life, and for once rumor was right. A girlish engagement with a young army officer who fell in his first battle, a few years as a nurse in the war, Interrupted by a marriage with Lyall Bennington, early widowhood and a subsequent life devoted to good work these were among the incidents in her story. For many years all her plans had been for Mary, whom she had adopted long ago. Mrs. Fenning1on had taken a great interest in Mary because she came from her own town, and the case of the child was particularly pitiful, for there were no near relatives to whom she could be sent. Fresh from the sadness caused by the death of her husband, Linda found the child's companionship a great comfort. Mary had passed serenely through the stages of childhood and youth and now, at nineteen, under the training of private tutors, was prepared to enter "ISX'T IT A BEAUTT, AUNT LINDA ?" Merton college In the fall. After graduation endless possibilities opened before her. This was the situation that July morning when Mrs. Pennington came out on the porch and greeted young David Green, one of Mary's admirers. He was a manly fellow of twentyone, son of a prosperous farmer of the rural district. He had lately been giv en a good sized tract of land by his fa ther, with the instruction to "see what he could do with it," and he was doing well. "You've just come back from New York, haven't you, David?" asked Mrs. Pennington. "Yes," said Mary. "He's been away two whole days." The sigh with which this was said brought a laugh from the other two. Mrs. Pennington seated herself in the rocker. "Why, Mary," she said, "is this your embroidery on the floor? Tick It up before it gets dirty." The girl leaned back comfortably against the railing. "You pick it up, Dave," she said indifferently. And the young man did so. But Linda bit her lip la vexation. It was a little thing, but characteristic of the way Mary made all her friends wait on her. "Did you go away on business, David?" she asked hastily, "No -yes well. I don't know as you'd call it exactly business." "I should." said Mary decidedly "the most important business for you just now. Dave." The lad laughed, embarrassed. "Dear me, this sounds very mysterious." said Mrs. Pennington, smiling. "What is it all about?" "I went to get something for Mary," said David. "And here it Is." said the girl, holding out her left hand. "Isn't it a beau ty. Aunt Linda?" A handsome solitaire flashed into view. The significance of the stone did not enter Linda Tennington's mind, for it was many years since she had thought of such things. "Mary, you know you may not receive presents of jewelry from young men," she was beginning, bet the words died on her lin Af-rr-and David, looking for some sign of

approval, read in her face grief, ilsap-

pointment and refusal. "Aren't you pleased?" went on the girl. "We've been engaged since Christmas. Before I visited Florrle Tucker, Dave asked me and I said, 'I'd see.' Then while I was away he kept writing to me and I always did like htm best of any of the boys so I just had to say yes.' He's so obstinate, Dave is, he wouldn't take 'no.' " "Of course I am very much surprised," Linda said when she could trust herself to speak. "I think you are both too young to talk of such things. Besides, you are going to college soon, Mary, and I do not approve of Indefinite engagements." "But there's nothing indefinite about our engagement," replied the girl airily, twisting the ring on her finger. "We are to be married in September." "What?" "Oh, yes, it's all settled," nodding her head. "I wrote this morning to Merton canceling my application. I'm tired of study what is the use of it? I know more now than uny other girl or boy almost in Dorsettown. Just think,' after September I'll never have to study any morel" Mrs. Pennington rose in wrath from her chair. "Mary," the cried sharply, "you dun't know what you're saying! You are giving up carelessly what I would give years of my life to havo had when I was a girl what you will always regret giving up. I don't often exercise my authority as your guardian. but when you act like a silly child I must. I ask you no, I order you to break this engagement!" Mary sprang up and stamped her foot angrily. "Well, I won't!" she cried. "And you can't make me; I'm nineteen years old." Linda sank back In the chair with trembling lips. The mother who had eloped was speaking through her daughter. "Mary, if you love me," she pleaded, but she knew It would be no use. The girl's heredity was showing, and she must bow to the inevitable. Mary never would understand what a blow this was to her guardian's ambitions for her. College, then advanced work, or, 1 the girl preferred, art study in Paris or music In Germany these the plans she had made. And this mad whim must overturn them all! The girl's storm of fury spent itself In floods of tears. "Aunt Linda. I can't. Don't ask me to," she sobbed. David drew his sweetheart toward him. He had been a silent, troubled witness of the scene. Now he spoke quietly. "It's like this, Mrs. Pennington, we love each other, and we don't see the use of waiting. If we wait four years by then we'll have grown apart perhaps, and it will be harder to give In to each other. We want to be married at once. I am making a good living; my people are pleased, and we only want your consent." But she shook her head impatiently. "I have nothing against you, David, but it is Impossible." "Oh, no, Mrs. Pennington!" he cried. "Think think when you were young and in love. Don't you remember how it was then?" How old memories can rise again! A vision of a boyish soldier, with plead ing eyes and tender smile. And that parting could she ever forget the sound of his voice, low and thrilling? She gave a shuddering sigh and opened tear dimmed eyes. "I was only seventeen and he wTas twenty and I never saw him again. His body could not be found. Ah!" Steadying her voice, she went on. "You are right, David. It was foolish and wrong to try to control Mary's life. She must work it out for herself. My plans were far different from this, but I can give them up, as I have given up others." "Dear Mrs. Fennington," said David, grasping her hand. Then, when Mary ran off to set the supper table and David followed, with awkward attempts to help, Linda Tennington drew forth an old locket and gazed long at the portrait within. "Once I thought that the shattering of my dreams would kill me," she murmured. "But I lived to thank God for other dreams and duties that came. So it will be now, I think." "Supper is ready, Aunt Linda!" called Mary, and Mrs. Pennington turned from the sunset glow. A Welsh Rip. Every nation has a Kip Van Winkle of its own, but the Welsh story of Rip is unique. He Is known as Taffy ap Sion. One morning Taffy heard a bird singing on a tree close by his path. Allured by the melody, he sat down until the music ceased. When he arose, what was his surprise at observing that the tree under which he had taken a seat had now become dead and withered! In the doorway of his home, which, to his amazement, had also suddenly grown older, he asked of a strange old man for his parents, whom he had left there, as he said, a i'ew minutes before. Upon learning his name the old man said: "Alas, Taffy, I have often heard my grandfather, your father, speak of you, and It was said you were under the power of the fairies and would not be released until the last sap of that sycamore had dried up. Embrace me, my dear uncle for you are my uncle embrace your nephew." Welshmen do not always perceive the humor of this somewhat novel situation of a youth for Taffy was still merely a boy being hailed as uncle by a gentleman perhaps forty years his senior. j j Fun For iiim.

NEW YORK LETTER New York, Doc. 7. The advantage the bears obtained yesterday was continued in the early trading this mornlng. Union Pacific was noteworthy weak while St. Paul on the contrary v a s exceptionally strong. Union Paom 1M to 1S31,. been in some time. cifio so Id down f: the low t it lias St. Paul opened at lsl and was the -trong feature lal during the session selling up close to 1S4 before tiie day was over. The selling was presumably for bear operators who were pressing their advantage in view of the extreme high rates for call loans, as high as 35 per cent being the ruling rate for large loans. In the late afternoon, however, when the call loan rates eased off to something like a norman condition, stocks s-howod the effect of the overselling by bear pools and there was a scramble to get back their short contracts. In the general advance, Canudlan Pacific, St. Paul and Union Pacific were the undoubted leaders. Canadian scored an advance of over six points for the day and incidentally established a new high record for this issue, it was rumored in the street that a melon of some kind would be cut, some af the rumors were to the effect that the directors would issue valuable rights; others were that it would be put upon a ten per cent basis. Neither of these, however, had any authentic basis. The buying In St. Paul and Copper was aggressive in the extreme after the early weakness. It was the belief among the best posted traders that the Standard Oil coterie of rich speculators were aiding the advance in their two "pet" securities. Copper scored an advance of almost two points for the day. St. Paul was always in demand from the shorts in large quantities. The market closed feverish and strong with all of the early declines wiped out in all quarters and substantias gains recorded in a good many of the speculative favorites.

Chicago, Dec. 7. WHEAT There was an absence of activity apparent in the wheat pit today. Traders who sold out yesterday in anticipation of a reaction In order to buy back their wheat were disappointed teat trie market did not ease off more. The trade was not large and it was more or iess of a scalping nature. The news was rather favorable to the bull operators, foreign markets a shade higher; cash situation reported better and Argentine shipments lighter than last week. Northwestern traders were inclined to the bull side of the market. The December option was the stronger of the two. The market

TWINE VERSUS BBOBIS Union Labor Cuts Out Sweepers and Governor Would Substitute Strings. . Gov. F. M. Warner of Michigan wa at the bead of a party of distinguished Michlganers who left Chicago early this morning and passed through Hammond on the way to Michigan City, whenco they took a later and faster train for Detroit and intermediate points. The purpose of the stop at Michigan City was to inspect the twino binding plant at the Northern Indiana Stat prison. In the governor's party were Senators Moriarty, Doherty and Teak, Representatives N. J. Whelan of Holland, a prominent candidate for the office of speaker In the house. Representative L. N. Snell of Detroit; Fred JL Postal, president of tho Michigan StateFair association; I. H. Butterfield secretary of the same; A. E. Stevenson, general superintendent and A. E. Tiler ono of the directors. Tom Gilmartin, of the Detroit Free Press accompanied me party. "Learned a Whole Lot." We have been in Chicago attendinff the live stock show," said Governor Warner to a Lake Cou.vrr Times reporter, "and wo have learned a whole lot. Our party consists of persona who are interested directly and indirectly in the important industry of, cattle growing. In some respects the show was a revelation to us and we all feel the better for having seen it. "I would like to linger in tho vicinity of Hammond for a few days. We have all heard of the wonderful industrial change that is taking place here; how me capital is pouring in and how the big manufacturing concerns and railroad companies are concentrating here. We are immediately concerned because if all your plans are carried out a great percent of the lake traffic will be diverted. "The concentration of the Iron and steel Industries at this tnd of the lake will lighten the traffic through Lake Hurln and the Detroit river and we will miss many of the big ore steamers which pass us on the way to Cleveland and points east. "Detroit may lose some of Its prestige as a distributing point but business down our way is increasing so rabidly that I don't fear we shall notice All attempts to draw out Governor Warner on politics were vain. Work for I'rUoocri. We have an Important prison problem 10 s.oive and we are going to ston over at Michigan City to tret an nh. ject lesson. The prisoners at Jackson need work. We had a broom factory but we were forced to abolish it because it was said to conflict with union labor. The binding twine mill at Michigan City does not seem to conflict with anything but the binding twine trust and It keeps the prisoners busy. It may be that we Bhall adopt it." Many Delays at Altar. When a bridal party arrived recently at an English church It was found that the celrgyman had forgotten the appointment ana he had to be sent for. It was then die-covered that the bridegroom had failed to bring tho ring. When this was obtained tho certificate of the publication of tho banns was found to have been left behind. Eventually, however, every thing was ready and the ceremony proceeded. Authors Flattered Themselves. Balzac, perhaps the greatest of novelists, waa conceited and passion ately ambitious; he quite realized that he himself was equal to the most dis tinguished author of his own or any age. Hume, in introducing his essay on "Miracles," asserts that he has discovered an argument which will be useful against superstition, "aa long as the world endures." His Preference. "Tho earthquake that eastern seismograph recorded was somewhere 14,000 miles away." "Hasn't it been reported yet?" "No." "Well, that's strange. Do you suppose it really occurred?" "Of course." "Took place, and nobody knew it, eh?" "Evidently." "Well, say, that's Just tho Port of earthquakes I like." Cleveland Plain Dealer. .
