King and Queen Are to Visit Their Loyal Scotch Subjects

(National News Association) Edinburgh, July 15. From every corner of the land o'cakes pilgrims are making their way today to "Auld Reekie" to take part in the welcome to the King. His Majesty, with the Queen, the Prince of Wales and Princess Mary, will arrive in Edinburgh early Monday morning for a five days' visit to Scotland, which will mark tiie fiual stage of the royal tour of the United Kingdom, following the coronation. Preparations which have been under way for months are virtually completed, and when the royal train steams into the Caledonian railroad station at 6 o'clock Monday morning the machinery will be set in motion for what is expected to be one of the most remarkable demonstrations of the kind that Scotland has seen in years. The royal family will reside in Holyrood Palace during their tay in Edinburgh. It will be remembered that in llKW, nine months after their coronation King Edward and Queen Alexan dra came to Scotland and held a levee and court at liolyrood for the first time for eighty years. Their Majesties did not, however, take up their residence in the palace, but occupied Dalkeith House, which was placed at their 'disposal by the Duke and Duch ess of Buccleuch. Old Holy rood Palace, which under King George is now to become once more brilliant with regal ceremonies, was originally a convent, supposed tO'have been founded in 112S by David I. The legend is that the King was hunting in the forest of Drumsheugh when he was attacked and would have been killed by a stag that had gone mal, but for the miraculous rood or cross that suddenly appeared and caused the animal to flee. In gratitude for his deliverance, David eudowed the church of the Holy Rood for the Canons of St. Augustine, giving them the privilege of erecting a borough between their church and the city gate, now known as Canongate. The abbey seems to have become a regular royal residence in the time of James IV., and James V. built the apartments known aa Queen Mary's. With the exception of these apartments the whole palace was burned at the close of the civil war, and Charles II. erected the present palace. In view of the forthcoming royal visit extensive improvements have been made at the palace. The scheme adopted included the opening tip of

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright. 1903, by Edwm A. Nye

BEGINNING RIGHT. Harold Durrell of Bostou is wise. A graduate of Harvard, son of a wealthy man, society favorite and an athlete who made a record, he has taken his place behind the eouuter of a small suburban grocery store to learn the business. Clad in the clothes of a grocer's clerk, he is learning how to sell goods and tie up bundles. "W-h-a-C" said his friends, shocked. "Harold Durrell clerking iu a grocery store! Why should he do such an erratic thing?" But young Durrell is not erratic. He is just a keen, wide awake, level headed sort of chap, unspoiled by fortune. However He admits his course is rather unusual for a young man so favored. But he says a man cannot begin business at the top of the ladder, and he is determined to show that college life has not unfitted him for serious effort. Also he is gritty. It is said of him that he is of strong will power, and when he sets out to do a thing, whatever it may be, he usually ends with achievement. And he is thorough. He says to know a thing well at all one must know it through and through. Therefore he must begin with the alphabet of the grocery trade to qualify for the position higher up. Wise young Mr. Durrell! His father, a retired jobber, also began at the bottom of the ladder, and, although he wanted his son to do something else, he could not discourage the boy by reciting the hardships incident to the long apprenticeship one must go through to master the grocery business as it should be mastered, as any business should be mastered. It is pretty plain that if in his college life they got his head up among the stars his feot remaiued planted ou the ground. Mauy a college graduate's head is "swelled" by his education, and he has failed because he insisted upon starting at the top. Like young Theodore Roosevelt, who in order to learn the carpet business began ns a factory apprentice, so young I'urrell begins at the beginning. Wise youth! With his college sharpened mind he will make way rapidly and soon will overtake those who denied his mental training began before him. HENRI DUNAUT'S DREAM. Henri Dunaut was a wealthy young man. Like many other sons of the rich, he knew nothing better than, to spend his money for personal pleasure. Then one day he had a vision. It was the visiou of the Red Cross, a dream uniting the whole world under one banner for the relief of human suffering.. Yes, it was "only a dream," men said. But Henri Dunaut started out to make his dream come true. Like Paul, he was not disobedient to the heavenly vision. He spent his life and his fortune in organizing the International Society of the Red Cross. It was a gigantic realization of a gi gantic task, the uniting of the world of men in works of common mercy. What was money beside this dream"; And so Henri Dunaut literally became poor that the world through his poverty might become rich in pity and it: deeds of mercy. And the world forgot. Not long since it remembered what it owed Henri Dunaut, the founder of the Red Cross. He was old and poor, having impoverished himself in his labors. lie was voted the Nobel peaceprize, which will amply provide for him until his death. Who of the moderns has dreamed or accomplished a nobler dream? Talk of captains of industry the world is tired of the stories of material success. Here is a captain of mercy. Here is a man who has syndicated the good Samaritan. Where battlefield or fire or flood or earthquake or pestilence may be. there Is the race of civilized men leagued together for the succor of bruised humanity. We talk about the brotherhood of man. Here is a visualized brotherhood, a colossal union of human hearts, a merciful mission in whose labors of love is no distinction of race or creed or color. And Henri Dunaut has been one of those of whom the world was not worthy. But now Now the world will not forget until he Is der.d. The world has a way of remembering Us modest heroes only when they d!e. The world loves you. Henri Dunnut. Sympathy. Jenkins Guess I must be a fool. I was born on the first day of April. Muchwed Shake, old fellow. I consider myself a fool also. Jenkins And were you born on that day too? Muchwed No; married. Boston Globe. IN THE SINK. My! Aren't they cetestable? those sneaky little roaches that creep and prowl all over everything. You knowhow spry they are. But they can't dodge Hewitt's Easy Task Soap, and they can't abide it, so they clear right out. Hewitt's Easy Task Laundrv Soap is white and pure; keeps sinks, I bathrooms and pantry shelves clean and sweet and free from mustiness. Wiso King.

Road Building Extends All

(Palladium Special) Washington, July 15. Illustrating the tremendous impetus that lately has been given to the nation-wide movement for improved public highways, the United States Office of Public Roads has just prepared a chart which shows that nearly 15,000 miles of transcontinental, interstate and trunkline roads are contemplated in various sections of the country. The chart prepared by the Office of Public Roads shows the extent to which the good roads movement has taken hold of every part of the United States. North, South, East and West, the improved roads, some merely planned, others actually under construction, literally make a net-work covering the whole country. If all of the plans contemplated are carried out by the men and communities back of them, it will be possible to rdive wagons and automobiles from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast, and from Vancouver, British Columbia, to Tijuana, Mexico, and from Montreal, Canada, to Miami, Florida. The may prepared by the Office of Public Roads, merely for the purpose of gauging the extent of the good roads movement as fostered by individuals, associations and committees, shows the following great highways in contemplation or actually under construction: From Yellowstone Park to Glacier National Park, through Fort Yellowstone, the Big Hole Battlefield and other interesting points in the Rocky Mountains a total distance of 450 miles. The Pacific Highway from Vancouver, B. C, to Tijuana, Mexico, a distance of 2,009 miies. The Memphis-to-Bristol Highway, connecting Knoxville, Nashville and Jackson, a distance of 540 miles. The Lincold Memorial Road, from Washington to Gettysburg, 40 miles. Sherman, Texas-to-Galveston Highway, 150 miles. WHAT OTHERS SAY CHANGE IN DRAMATIC STYLE. From the New York Evening Post. When a successful play of twentyfive or thirty years ago is revived critics invariably hasten to point out how theatrical and "old-fashioned" dramatic fare used to be in the last generation. And, in a sense, the criticism is quite justified. The sentiment of a former day cloys; the heroics only amuse us. Even so expert a workman as Sardou feels the changes of time. His set scenes rage, denunciation, jealousy, terror are nowadays dismissed as melodramatic. Actually, the difference is one of manner and not of essence. We are quite as fond of melodrama today as people were thirty years ago, if by melodrama one means impossible human beings acting in an impossible way. And, if anything, we are more sentimental today than the Victorians were. Only, once upon a time sentiment voiced itself in nicely turned and nicely balanced sentences succeeding each other in oratorical form. Todayeven sentiment has a lot of "go" to it. On the stage, as in the magazines today the broad shouldered young man who addresses spasmodic half-sentences to the only woman in the world is as popular and as offensive as the heroes were in the age of vapors and anti-macassars. HELP THE HORSE THAT HELPS YOU. From the New York Evening World. The unprecedented number of hors es killed by the heat during the past week, and the untold but only too evi dent sufferings of the rest of the noble equine army, must have impressed every one who owns or drives an animal, with the many but in a large degree remediable causes of suffering that sadden the city all through the summer. The veterinarians assure us that horses are better taken care of today than formerly, because they are worth double the money they were before the automobile put breeding farms out of business. If this is the only reason it is not very reassuring. Anyway, when abnormal heat coincides with such a scarcity of water that a special dispensation is required to keep running the meager seventy public drinking foun tains that serve for the entire Greater City of New York, it goes hard with a poor beast, even when their masters are kind and thoughtful. In two many cases these latter mean better than they know in caring for their dumb charges. A RUSTLER. From the New York Evening Post. If Americans did not dislike Castro so intensely they could not help admiring him for his pluck and enterprise. SMOKERS' TROUBLES. From the Detroit Journal. Dr. Wiley wants to stop smoking in public, and with the wives forbidding it at home we at last have the horrid weed cornered. CHRISTMAS THOUGHT. From the Columbus Dispatch. Next Christmas is now nearer than last. Have you begun your shopping yet? DEATH BUSY. From the Wilmington (Del.) News. Death is working overtime iust now. With aeroplanes and automobiles to look after the grim destroyer is kept busy. AND VERY QUICKLY. From the Detroit Free Press. We have discovered, however, that artificial ice melts in a perfect natural manner. INJURY TO GRAIN. From the Columbus O., State Journal. We always feared that something would happen to the crops when Mr. Patten stojjjped farming.

Movement Now Over the Nation

Nearly every state in the Union is benefited to some extent by the pro posed new highways, and the manner n which all sections are working to the same end simultaneously Indicates that it will not be long before the. United States is laced, by a complete system of good roads. TWINKLES SARDONIC BLISS. "What pleasure do you derive from being a pessimist?" "A great deal." replied Mr. Growcher. "When the worst happens I at least have the satisfaction of posing as a prophet." THE PROFESSIONAL VIEWPOINT. '"So you don't approve of the old masters!" exclaimed the artist. "Not much," replied the aviator. "They made a general custom of depicting angels with wings that would not be of the slightest service in practical flight." ALWAYS ON HAND. The farmer says it is too wet Or else too parched with heat; The mystery is. where does he get The things he sells to eat? "De difference between obstinacy an' strength o' character," said Uncle Eben, "all depends on whether a man is agreein' wif you or not." COMPANIONS IN TRIBULATION "Who are the two men who shake hands and look sympathetic every time that prima donna's name Is mentioned?" "One is her manager and the other is her husband." HERO MEDALS. When you're passing them 'round To the men who deserve To be widely renowned For their generous nerve. There are names which are missed From the luminous scroll Where is written the list That fame loves to enroll. The man who keeps still When a story is told And who laughs with a will,' Though the matter is old; The man who says "yes" When you ask for a loan; He is brave more or less, Though he lingers unknown; And the man who gets out For a holiday fair With his children about Nor complains of the care. And more whom we know Should be cherished and prized; They are heroes, although They are not advertised. NIXON PAPER MILLS HAVE BEEN SOLD The Nixon bag and paper mills, located on the Whitewater river near Washington avenue, have been disposed of by the company controlling the same, to May Rittenhouse, according to articles of sale filed with the county recorder today. The consideration was $1 and other considerations. The company was burned out recently. The mills have not been in operation for several years. However the property is regarded as valuable. TUNNELS OF LOVE IN NEAR CATASTROPHE (National News Association) New York, July 15 Twenty-one persons narrowly escaped death early to day in a fire which destroyed the amusement structure at Coney Island housing the "Tunnels of Love" and which, for a time threatened to cause a repetition of the recent Dreamland disaster. Firemen and policemen finally rescued the imprisoned inmates who occupied apartments on the second floor of the building. Many of them were women, several of whom fainted from fright. The origin of the fire is unknown. The total quantity of lumber sawed in the United States was 28.9 per cent, greater in 1909 than In 1S93.

A HIGHER AUTHORITY. Why Sam Failed to Carry Out Hit Employer's Orders. The venerable rector of St. Luke's bas a saintly and apostolic appearance. He also has decided opinions of his own on most matters and is not avers to expressing them. Recently, unknown to him. the vestry decided to have the next supply of coal for the church put in a dfereut cellar from the one commonly used. When tbo coal was delivered, the rector, seeing the drayman making what he thought was a mistake tn Its disposal, interposed and in no uncertain terms bade tha darky place the coal in the cellar always used for that purpose. The senior warden, several days later, was much annoyed to discover that his orders had been disregarded and that the coal was In the same old cellar. With wrath In his eye he complained to the coal dealer. The latter declared that he had carefully explained to the drayman where to put the coal, so to settle tbe matter the darky was called in. "Sam, you black rascal." thundered the coal man. "didn't I tell you to put that coal for St. Luke's in the cellar opening on Fourth street?' "Yassah." "Mr. Smith tells me you didn't do It. Why can't you carry out my orders?" The darky grinned sheepishly, hesitated, scratched his head. "Well. boss, you see, 1 done started to put dat coal when you tole me yassah. I done started an' ole St. Luke hisself be come out and gimme fits about it." Harper's Magazine.

His Lost Opportunity. An Irishman once dreamed that hm was visiting the late Queen Victoria. "Will you have a drink?" the queen said to him. "I will." said the Irishman "a drop of Irish, av coorse. hot by preference, your majesty." So the queen put on the kettle, but when the water boiled tbe noise awoke the dreamer. "Holy SL Patrick!" said he. "111 take it cold next time." Just Wrath, They were an elderly couple. The old man looked as though he might have been a gay boy In his time, and the old lady was prim, grim and watchful. They were strolling along the avenue when a young lady at some BAISED BEB JS9. distance slipped and fell. Tbe old man rushed along, raised her np and. lifting bis bat, offered to assist her In any way. Meanwhile his wife, following on and witnessing bis devotion to the strange lady, shook her fist at him. "It's all right, dear." be whispered. "All right! Here's a strange woman hurts ber toe and you go tearing along and smother ber with kindness. When I fell down tbe stairs last week you laughed and wanted to know if I was training for a circus." Charles Lamb's Grace, On one occasion when Edmund Clarence Stedman was visiting in New England he was called upon by the bead of tbe bouse while at dinner to invoke tbe divine blessing. "I was rather surprised and .for balf a minute sorely tempted," said Mr. Stedman In relating tbe incident. "Then I rose to the (cession and asked a grace which I remembered.' "But, Mr. Stedman." demanded a young woman of the party eagerly, "to what were you sorely tempted?" "To do as Charles Lamb did under similar circumstances." "And that was?" "He loolced about tbe board and asked in surprise, "Is there no clergyman present? The host shook bis bead. Then Lamb prayed. 'For this and all other mercies. O Lord, make us truly thankful V His Precaution. ' When Amos J. Cummings was a member of tbe boue of representatives be went on a bunting expedition with his friend. Captain Howard F. Kennedy.
