Andrew Carnegie has written to Congressman Bartholdt, of Missouri, his belief that the Emperor of Germany has it In his power to abolish war among civilized nations. The next thing to do is to bring the Kaiser to the same view. He has proclaimed himself as the War Lord of Germany, and he Is believed to be more in accord with militarism than with the things that make for peace. It can hardly be expected that he will ask Great Britain and the United States to unite with him in declaring that since the world has contracted to a "neighborhood" and is in constant and Instantaneous communication one part with another, the interchange of products between them amounting to thousands of millions a year, the time has passed when any one civilized nation can be permitted to break that peace in which all are so deeply interested. International disputes must be settled by arbitration. Should he do so. there can be no doubt but that tha nations mentioned would accept the Invitation, and then peace, so long the dream of the idealists, might dawn upon the, world. It is easier, however, for the Laird of Skiboo, in the quiet of his castled walls, to make the suggestion than for the man who is burdened with the government of a great people, and filled with ambitions as wide as the world to accept it, and put It Into execution. Even though he - should accept It, and an understand ing be reached by the three great pow ers, war would not cease. The na tions utt are noi mciuaea in tne compact might resent the apparent inter- . ference, and endeavor to resist any at tempt to force a change. To say that no civilized nation shall be permitted

to break the peace means that force would be the flast resort, and universal peace become a dream once more. Carnegie's pious wish that the angel of the Lord may appear unto the Kaiser is commendable, and he may have faith in the suggestion that he made, and hope that it will be adopted, but at the risk of being called pessimistic we must be permitted to doubt if the millenium will arrive during the present year.

ALL READY FOR THE CAMPAIGN. There has been some criticisms of Hitchcock by those who declared that the republican campaign was at a standstill and that the opposition was carrying things by default. As a matter of fact Chairman Hitchcock has a few things up his sleeve and a few more in his bead. He has been busy all summer finding out the condition In each state even to the remotest community. Now when the real time comes for action he will be able to swing into the field his speakers where they will do the most good. The strongest speakers will be sent to the most hotly contested places and what is more to the point the speakers who will do the most good will be sent to the particular niche tn which, they belong. This Is not slowness this is wisdom. In previous campaigns many mistakes have been made in sending the wrong men to the wrong places. It is safe to say that Hitchcock is on the Job. There is no great enthusiasm, but when the time comes for action Taft machinery will be well oiled and greased without any readjustment necessary. SPENDING MONEY. The story of how W. H. Singer, the iron king distributed $16,000,000 among his four children day before yesterday has a rather Interesting side of it. The custom of saving every thing until after death to be distributed is common enough. This man was hard headed enough to recognize that there would be far less danger of a squabble over his estate if he "loosened up" in life. He is reported to have said to his friends that he wanted to give It to his children in time "to do them some good." The country Is sick and tired of the post mortem squabbles which occud frequently after the death of a rich man the only way the possessor of great wealth seems to be able to distribute It satisfactorily Is to do so before he dies. The courts continue to be troubled by silly litigants. An Iowa man wants a divorce because his wife won't sew buttons on hla trousers. Why don't the absurd fellow buy a belt? A sensible suggestion. Mr. Harrlman now controls seventeen railroads. He is a young man yet. Noah, It must be remembered, was 600 years old when he cornered the transportation business of the world. One of the young girls in the New York smart set swam thirteen miles. Any kind of a water stunt appeals to a smart girl these days, except a dish water stunt The Chicago Journal says: "Captain Baldwin has all the other flyerB beaten a city block. He has actually sold his machine to somebody." Established a record. Watson writes in a current magazine on "Why I am still a Populist." "Yet" would be a better word than "still in his case. Rheumatism is reported to be an epi demic in many places. It's the penalty some people pay for owning Joints. One sure way to make the American farmer's life happier is not to pester him for campaign contributions. A coal dealer in Chicago has gone into bankruptcy. Chicago is famous for reporting strange things. It has been remarked that Vermont democrats are the first to report navigation open up Salt river. Mr. Bryan takes the stump. 'Tis all there is left for him, poor man. "I felt 60 awfully nervous, mamma," said little Amry the other day, referring to a trifling accident which had happened. "What do you mean by being nervous. my dear?" "Why. mamma, ifs Just like being In a hurry all over." DCC A

t The KING of f ! DIAMONDS. I

Ajy juu uis iiav, X Author of "Wings of the Morning-' "The Pillar of

Light." COPYRIGHT. 1904. Br But tne boy's ready yell brought two clerks running, and a door was thrown open. Phil released his opponent and instantly explained his action. One of the clerks, an elderly man, looked a little deeper than the boy's ragged garments, and the mention of Mr. Wilson's name procured him a hearing. Bloreover, he had previous experience of the youthful janitor's methods. With a cuff on the ear, this injured personage was bidden to go upstairs nd say that Mr. Wilson had senf a boy to see Mr. Isaacstein. The added Insult came when he was compelled to usher Philip to a waiting room. Soon a clerk entered. He was visibly astonished by the appearance of Mr. Wilson's messenger, and so was Mr. Isaacstein when Philip was paraded before him in a spacious apartment filled with glass cases and tables, at which several assistants were seated. "What the deuce" he began, but checked himself. "What does Mr. Wilson want?" he went on. Evidently his Ludgate Hill acquaintance was useful to Philip. "He wants nothing, sir." said Philip. "He sent me to see you on a matter of business. It is of a private nature. Can you give me a few minutes alone?" Isaacstein was a big headed, big shouldered man, tapering to a small point at his feet. He looked absurdly like a top, and surprise or emotion of any sort caused him to sway gently. He swayed now, and every clerk looked up, expecting him to fall bodily on to the urchin with the refined utterance who had dared penetrate into the potentate's office with such a request. Kimberley, Amsterdam and London combined to lend effect to Isaacsteln's wit when he said: "Is this a Joker All the clerks guffawed in chorus. Fortunately Isaacstein was in a good humor. He had Just purchased a pearl for 230 which he would sell to Lady Somebody for 800 to match another in an earring. "It appears to be," said Philip when the merriment had subsided. For some reason the boy's grave, earnest eyes conquered the big little man's amused scrutiny. "Now, boy, be quick. What Is it?" he said testily. And every clerk bent to his task. "I have told you, sir. I wish to have a few minutes' conversation with you with regard to business of an Important nature." . "You say Mr. Wilson sent you Mr. Wilson of Grant A Sons?' "Yea, sir." Isaacstein yielded to amazed curiosity. "Step In here," he said and led the way to his private office, surprising himself ag well as his assistants by this concession. Philip closed the door, and Isaacstein turned sharply at the sound, but the boy gave him no time to frame a question. "I want yon to buy this," he said, banding over the diamond. Isaacstein took it and gave it one critical glance. He began to wabble again. "Do you mean to say Mr. Wilson sent you to dispose of this stone to me?" he demanded. "Not exactly, sir. I showed It to him, and he recommended me to come to you." "Ah. I see. Sit down there." Indicating a chair near the door. The diamond merchant himself sat at his desk, but they were both In full view of each other. "Where did you get ltY he asked. "I found It." "Quite so. But where?" "At this moment I do not wish to go into details, but It is mine, mine only, and I am quite willing that you should make every fhqulry to Satisfy yourself that It was not stolen. I suppose that is what you fear." Sheer wonder kept the man silent for a space. "Do you know Its value? he said, with a sudden snap. "Mr. Wilson told me It was worth several hundreds of pounds." "Did he really?" "Yes. He said you would treat me Quite fairly, so I wish you to advance me a few pounds until you have decided upon its real price. You see, sir, I am very poor, and my present appearance creates an unfavorable impression. Still, I am telling you the absolute truth, and I show my confidence In you and in my own case by offering to leave the diamond with' you on your receipt, together with a small sum of money." Philip thought he was getting on very well. Isaacsteln's large eyes bulged at him, and speech came but slowly. He leaned forward and rummaged among some papers. Then he opened a drawer and produced a magnifying glass, with which he focused the diamond. "Yes; it is worth 600 or 700." he announced, "but it will be some time before I can speak accurately as to Its value. X, think It may be flawless, but

You are not In such a hurry, eh? You won't tell me where you got it?" "I may later If you continue to deal with me as honestly as you have done already." Isaacstein moved on bis seat. Even In a chair he wanted to wabble. There was a slight pause. "Have you any more like this stone? I suppose not, eh?' "Yes; I have many more." "Eh? What? Boy. do you know what you are saying?' "No doubt you are surprised, sir, but not more than I am myself. Yet, it is true. I have some as big again." Philip, in his eagerness, nearly forgot his resolution to advance slowly. "Have you any more like thi stone f 1 suppose not, tht" How the diamond merchant would shake if only he could see some of the white pebbles in the meteor. "As big again I Where are they ?" The chair was creaking now with the rhythmic swaying of its occupant. "Where this one came from, Mr. Isaacstein." Philip smiled. He could not tell how It happened, but he felt that he was the Intellectual superior of the man who sat there glowering at him so intently. Already the boy began to grasp dimly the reality of the power which enormous wealth would five him. Such people as this man and his satellites would be mere automata in the affairs of bis life. Important enough In a sense, with the importance of a stamp for a letter or a railway ticket for a journey, but governed and controlled utterly by the greater personage who could unlock the door of the treasure house. For the first time Philip wished be was older, bigger, more experienced. He even found himself beginning to wonder what he should do until he reached man's estate.- He sighed. Isaacstein was watching him closely, trying to solve the puzzle by the aid of each trick and dodge known in a trade which lends Itself to acute roguery of every description. The look of unconscious anxiety, of mental weariness on Philip's face seemed to clear away his doubts. He chuckled thickly. "How many, now," he murmured. "Ten, twenty of assorted sizes, eh?" "Far morel Far more! Be content with what I tell you today, Mr. Isaacstein. I said my business was Important. When you are better acquainted with me I think you will find it sufficiently valuable to occupy the whole of your time." Philip was ever on the verge of bursting out Into confidences. His secret was too vast, too overpowering, for a boy of fifteen. He wanted the knowledge and the trust of an older man. He did not realize that the merchant, beginning by regarding him as a thief, was now veering round to the opinion that he was a lunatic, for it la known to most men that the values of diamonds increase out of all proportion to their weight. While a one carat stone Is worth, roughly speaking. 10, a twenty carat gem of the same purity Is worth any sum beyond 2.000, and the diamond Philip had submitted for Inspection would probably cut Into ten or twelve carats of fine luster. To speak therefore of an abundance of larger and finer stones was a simple absurdity. The De Beers cespany alone could use such a figure of speech, and even then only at Isolated dates In Its history. The boy, with his eyes steadfastly fixed on the man's face and yet with a distant expression in them that paid light heed to the waves of emotion exhibited by the heavy cheeks and pursed up mouth, awaited some final utterance on the pjirt of his, questioner.
