If Son Takes Throne.
Paris.—A rumor that King Frederick
of Saxony was considering the abdica
tion of his throne in favor of his son.
Prince George, probably owes Its in
spiration to the festivities arranged In
Dresden for the young man's twenty-
third birthday anniversary on Jan. 15.
coupled with the fact that for the past
three years, since he became twenty,
he has been gradually Initiated into
state affairs, more and more taking his
father's place In the reception of minor
committees from the council of minis

er. the notorious ex-Crown Prim-ess
Louise, in the event of the sudden
death of King Frederick and the ac
cession of Prince George.
The Saxon government fears ex

the Prussians of a century ago feared
Napoleon. She is their nightmare, and
Topeka. Kan.—"Kansas, with a rate
of 0.8 in each 1.000 population, has the
lowest death rule of any stale in the ;
Union, because the people do not drink
liquor, because they have mouey
enough to live right and because they
have the intelligence to read of the
conditions that make for short Uvea
and know bow to dodge them."
That Is the answer of W. J. V. I»ea-
con. registrar of the Kansas vital sta
tistics bureau, to Samuel L. Rogers, di
rector of the United States bureau of
the census. The government official
wrote to Mr. Deacon to get an explana
tion of why the Kansas death rate Is
so low. in reply Mr. Deacon wrote:
“Kansas Is almost wholly an agricul
tural state; there are only twelve cities
in the state of more than 100.000 popu
lation. and there Is a gratifying ab
sence of sium districts in the cities.
Aside from the southeast corner of the
state there is no mining.
“The density of the population tn the
state is only 20.7 persons to the square
mile, and 70.8 per cent of the popula
tion reside outside of towns of 2.500
population or more.
The climate,
while showing extremes of tempera
ture. is usually mild enough to i>ermlt
much outdoor work and o[>en windows.
“But it is to the people themselves
that we must look for those minor and
subtle qualities that make for better
and longer living. Kansas Is rich, her
per capita wealth Is great and the |>eo
pie are enabled to live well, to clothe
themselves properly, to have comfort a
ble homes and to load their tables with
nourishing foods.
“Kansas Is a prohibition state, and

I do not mean by this that there is no
alcohol consumed in the state, but the
absence of the saloon means much to

fui pastimes than halting in an alcohol
laden atmosphere."
