Birthplace of Individuality.
Many i;reat human qualities come
to their best In a life of comparative
Isolation. A big tree, an oak or elm,
standing out In an open field has a
toiiKlmens of fiber, a spread of boughs
and roundness of shape that Is never
seen lu a treo that stands In the
woods. So people get individuality by
belmj much alone. They become self
reliant by relying on themselves. They
Kaln clear opinions by thinking things
over, and thinking them out to their
necessary conclusions. They acquire
Inflexibility of purpose by facing ob
stacles and conquering them. The
pioneers of our country and the fath
ers of the republic were suh 'men.
The projectors of fjreat undertakings
carried through triumphantly have ac
quired their powtr in this way. The
country is the natural nursery of such
qualities. People aro wanted on the
farms to raise corn and prow stock
for the markets; but they are wanted
there far more for the training of
manhood mid womanhood in moral
worth, lu rellgioim sensibility, in all
the traits of a strong, upright person
ality. In the future nB never hereto
fore, our cities with their multiplying
wealth and lavish luxury are likely to
need tho country for that steady re
newal of their better life which shall
keep them from relaxing into sensu
ality and sinking Into decay. Atlan

Bad Bachelor Hippos.
Sir John Kirk and Livingstone were
attacked by a hippopotamus that was,
no doubt, a "bachelor." Speaking of
the hippopotami of tbe Chohe, Living
stone says that "as certain elderly
males are expelled from the herd they
become soured In their temper and so
misanthropic as to attack every canoe
that comes near them. The herd Is
never dangerous except when a canoe
passes into the midst of it when all
are asleep, and some of them may
strike the canoe in terror. As a rule,
these animals flee the approach of
man. The 'solitaires,' however, fre
quent certain localities well known to
the Inhabitants on the bonks and, like
I the rogue elephants, are extremely
I dangerous." Livingstone learned that
when attacked by one you should dive
to the bottom and keep there a few
seconds, since the hlppl soon moves
off If ho finds nobody on the surface.

CHAPTER XXIII. Continued.
As soon as Santos realized what had
happened, he turned to the door and
opened it: "Come, Rosltta, my wife, It
will be swPT-t to die together."
"Idiot!" she shrieked.
He looked at her and knew. He
turned to his master, who waved a
friendly hand at him, and said sadly:
"Napoleon, forgive me. I was blind
ed." He jumped into the sound and the
waters closed over him. Rositta bad
not even glanced at him aa he felt. She
stepped into his place in the doorway
and had her foot on the first rung of
the ladder that led to the top of the
machine when he touched the water.
Napoleon opened the door for her,
without Baying a word.
When sjhe wne in the npper machine
she stood looking at Napoleon, who
was awaiting her further action.
At last she said: "With you I wquld
go down there." Then she flushed and
an exquisite little Bmlla appeared on
her face. . "You devil of a man! You
have won again! What do you intend
to do with me?"
He looked at her sadly as he replied
In a measured voice:
"I will make a queen of you."
"Oh, thanks! That la kind. I pre
sume you have selected a very beauti
ful country T"
"Yes, Rosltta Roslny, a very beau
tiful country. You will have every
thing you need It la a veritable Gar
den of Eden.
She looked at him In alarm, then
looked toward her fleet Every one of
her aerodromones had been captured.
They reached land. Napoleon called
up Whistler and, giving orders regard
ing the empty aerodromone that be
was leaving on a sandbar, released It
from the electric clutches of the Eagle.
Then he flew up again, with Rositta
sitting motionless and unseeing on the
bench. Sending the Eagle toward the
south, he turned on full speed.
The man who had outwitted his en
emies was silent, watching the rich
country run backward under htm. Nei
ther spoke on the long journey south
ward to the Garden of Eden.
CHAPTER XXIV.
Dawn.
A small house had been erected
sear the Crystal Lake. It had two
rooms and kitchen, that was all; but
It had been pleasantly and well fur
nished with everything a lone woman
might want. When Napoleon assisted
Rosltta from the aerodromonetie led
her Into the pleasant living-room She
followed him obediently, as If In a
trance, seating herself In the chair
Indicated without a word.
"This Is your future home, Rosltta,"
he said, simply.
She did not reply, but sat looking
out the window, at the clear lake and
tha steen mountain aides that over
shadowed the little valley forbidding
ty. A strange Are ehone In her turea.
She stood tip lowly and cautiously
and stepped to tlm window. She
looked out at the beautiful green fo
liage and the blooming flowers for a
long time, and Napoleon did not dis
turb her. Her actions commanded re
spect A smile appeared on her face, a
smile that reminded Napoleon of his
own mother; It expressed mother
love, tbe most holy of all.
"See see bow green the gra Is!
How blue the sky Is! How mild the
air, and the water of the Lago dt Mag
glore Is as smooth as a mirror." She
beckoned to Napoleon. "Just look at
that sweet little girl, see how she runs
on the shoru she Is after a butter
fly. Don't you see her, manl Don't
you see her?" She gasped these last
words hoarsely and grasped Napole
on' arm. A nameless terror bad bla
noble soul In It grip.
"Answer me, do you see hert" She
began to sob. "Ah, don't say no say
you see her. She Is my own little girl.
She is good and not like ber mother.
She Is good, I say! She must be good
to be happy." She sobbed wildly.
Turning to Napoleon she screamed:
"Speak! Oh, speak to me, or I ehail
go mad entirely."
He took ber hands in his and In a
mild voice said: "Ilosltta, be quiet;
you don't know what you are saying."
She pushed hi in away. . A wild look
came into ber eyes.
"You fiend! You have killed me,
and I'll kill you now!" Her hand
slipped into her bosom and a short
gilt Venetian dagger gllBtened bright
ly. She darted forward blindly and
just missed Napoleon. Her dagger
struck the wall fiercely. The blade
broke and fell with a sharp clink to
the floor. The next moment she faint
ed In Napoleon's arms.
He carried ber to the sofa and
brought fresh water to revive her.
For two long hours her soul trav
eled through unknown regions where
there Is neither time nor distance.
When she opened her eyes again she
was not the samo youthful, vivacious
Rosltta. She had become old.
She did not speak for a long time,
and Napoleon bad the patience to
await her pleasure, notwithstanding
his neglected duties at Washington.
At last ehe sat up and said weakly:
"Napoleon Edison, you have won. You
are strong; I am weak. The Queen
Rositta Is dead. The only one I ever
truly loved, my little daughter. Is
dead, and now I can mourn the rest
of my life. You may go, Napoleon.
That kiss of yours on the roof at Hel
goland that kiss given aa alms Is
responsible for all I have done." She
offered her hand. "Please go; there
are many awaiting you. I want to
reBt in this solitude."
Napoleon took her hand. "Good by.
Should you need me, there is a special
signal arrangement in the other room;
use It." He left, and she watched his
form disappear in the dark night The
man she had once feared, loved and
hated was gone, and, it was strange,
but she found all these conflicting
emotions gone as well.
That was- the last ever heard of the
once-famous Princess Schomburg
Llthow, the ambitious Queen of tbe
Air.
En route to Washington Napoleon
talked with his men on Clryne.
WhiBtler told him that his Instruc
tions bad been carried out to the let
ten, and Sullivan told of the success
ful capture of the four aerodromones
from the west
It was: ten o'clock In the morning
when he sighted the capital, and Con
gress was In session.
The newspapers had already de
scribed the battle between tbe Eagle
and the Princess and the capture of the
whole aerodromone flotilla. Whistler
had reported to the proper authorities,
but no one knew what had become of
the Princess RoBltta.
Loud shouts filled the chamber when
Napoleon came in. Representatives
left their chairs and, lifting him up,

the enthusiastic audience became

pleasure in offering my sixty aerodro
mone to tbe United Republics of
America, to be used In accordance i
with arrangements to be made. I will I
reserve the right of ownership and the
engagement of aeromen for the ma
chines." An enthusiastic "hurrah!" sounded
and after quiet was restored Napoleon
continued:
"The men captured on the Princes
fleet are to be returned to their re
spective countries and tried aa con
spirators against tbe world peace
committee and I have no doubt that
amicable relations will soon exist be
tween ail the nations.
"Tbe United Republics of America
Is a monument to Freedom and Peace.
These two conditions create satisfac
tion, wealth and advancement of such
character that we are nearer the Al
mighty, who created man In hi own
image."
Napoleon was Interrupted here by
an attendant, who clipped a small en
vejope Into his hand. It was ad
dressed to him in hlB mother's well
known handwriting. He tore it open,
ran through the lines and his face be
came radiant with happiness. He
waved his hand toward the waiting
audience and without another word
quickly left the hall.
His erratic actions would have
caused uneasiness It his face bad not
been so expressive of happiness. He
had hardly reached the exit when the
representatives cheered once again.
He waved his hand in acknowledg
ment and dashed out
He raced to the elevator that car
ried him to bis aerodromone and la
a few minutes he was on the roof of
the Crystal Palace. He quickly de
scended to the apartment of Astra, his
wife.
His mother awaited him outside the
door; their embrace told much.
A minute later the great man, the
hero, the patriot, the inventor, waa
kneeling at the bedside of a smiling,
hapiiy mother, murmuring broken
phrase of Joy at her well-being.
At the mother' request, with shak
ing bands In fear of hurting him, he
raised the little, kicking boy and, aa
he kissed his son, he said with wet
eyes:
"My son, thou shalt be a citizen of
a happier and more peaceful age."
a a
There Is little more to say.
That afternoon Napoleon looked
through the mall that had accumulat
ed and found Count von Werdensteln'
message addressed to Astra. He car
ried It, together with other urgent let,
tere, to her. She asked blm to read It
to her.
"Your Ladyship: My secret service
agents have Informed me that the
Princes Schomburg Llthow Is plan
ning to overthrow the present peace
ful balance that exist all over the
world.
"I was reared a man of arms and I
have been a believer in our glorious
tradition. It has taken a long time
for me to realize the blessing of
Equality, Liberty and Fraternity, but
I have realized them at last
"I regret that I have not the power
to crush the princess' conspiracy, for
which I, personally, ara to blame. On
account of my inability to do tbl I
beg your ladyship to Inform your hon
orable husband of the contents of this
letter. He Is the only one who con
check the uprising, and I hope this
will find him prepared.
"For the future. I Intend to do all
I can to make tbe coming generation
a better and more contented one. I
Intend to try to follow the example
set by the man whom I now appre
ciate. "In the hope that my warning will
reach you in good time and will be of
service to your ladyship, I remain,
with sincere regards.
"VON WERDENSTEIN."
"I am glad that a man like the
count ha seen the light" wa Napo
leon' simple comment when he had
finished reading the letter.
Astra' eyea rested lovingly on Na
poleon, then wandered over to the
crib in which their baby boy slept
They both felt the dawn of a hap
pier age.

CURRENCY BILL
. BECOMES LAW
President Promptly Signs New
Money System Measure.
Applause Creets Finish of Most Im
portant Financial Legislation
Recorded in Many Years.
WashinRton, D. C President Wil
son signed tbe Glass-Owen currency
bill at 6:01 o'clock Tuesday nigt, in
the presence of members of his cabi
net, the congressional committee on
banking and currency and Democratic
leaders in congress generally.
With a few strokes of the pen Pres
ident Wilson converted into law the
measure to be known as the Federal
Reserve act, reorganizing the nation's
banking and currency system, and
furnishing, in the words of the Presi
dent, "the machinery for free and
elastic and uncontrolled credits, put at
the disposal of the merchants and
manufacturers of this country for tbe
firct time in 60 years."
An enthusiastic applause ran through
the ceremony, not only as the Presi
dent affixed his signature, but as he
delivered an extemporaneous speech,
characterizing the desire of the admin
istration to take common counsel with
the business men of the country and
the latter's efforts to meet the govern
ment's advances as "the constitution
of peace."
The event came at the close of a day
of rejoicing in the national captial,
for congress has recessed for two
weeks for the first time since it con
vened last April. The Democratic
leaders were jubilant because they had
completed two big pieces of legisla
tion the tariff and the currency re
form in nine months, a performance
which they considered unprecedented
in the history of the country.
Mexican Federals Adopt
Revolutionist's Tactics
Juarez, Mex. A flying wedge of
federal troops swept into rebel terri
tory Thursday and, adopting tbe tac
tics of guerilla warfare, began a cam
paign to destroy railroad bridges and
telegraph lines, according to rebel re
ports. Their first act was to cut off com
munication between General Francisco
Villa's 600 rebels at Chihuahua and
the rebel base at Juarez. By pulling
down telegraph wires south of Juarez,
the federals temporarily isolated Villa
in Chihuahua, so far as direct commu
nication was concerned.
A small federal band went out from
Ojinga, on the border, and was be
lieved to have been commanded by
General Ynez Salazar, who is well sea
soned in guerrilla warfare. The plan
of the federals, as understood by tne
rebel chiefs, is to operate extensively
over Northern Mexico, and, by work
ing in circles, to destroy all property
that might be of use to the rebels,
without engaging the latter in a fight
According to report, Salazar's men
were headed for the Casas Grandes
district, west of the railroad running
from Juarez, . and were designing to
burn houses and other property. In
this district are located - rich agricul
tural and grazing fields.
It is believed by the rebels that the
federals are nothing more than a fug
itive band, destroying what property
they can reach, and will disperse be
fore they can be overtaken. Exten
sive destruction of railroads and tele
graph wires will handicap the rebels,
but S) far no serious damage has been
done, as the wires between Juarez and
Chihuahua soon will be repaired.
Chicago School Board
Re-Instates Woman
Chicago Mrs. Ella Flagg Young
was voted back into the superintend
ency of the Chicago public schools
after a stormy session of the board of
education. Seven member refused to
vote, on the ground that the board had
no power to reconsider the election of
John D. Snoop, assistant superinten
dent under Mrs. Young, who had been
elected her successor. Contention was
also made that the four new member
of the board named by Mayor Harri
son to replace four whose resignations
had been enforced, were not entitled
to their seats.
The action of the board in removing
Shoop 'and replacing Mr. Young at
once will be challenged in court, it
was announced by the opposition.
