The seat of government in the Island ts little settlement known as Herbartshoh.

That has been Mr. Senflt'a home during1 his three year residence In the Island, and his little office he has presided -over several departments of the government, fining- at the same time the positions of collector of customs, harbor master, police master and other offices. ie is how on his way back to Berlin on a vacation News of what Is going on In the very heart of the African continent -is derived from missionary sources an extremely in torcsting account of a recent visit paid by him to Lake Mweru being given by Daniel Crawford, whose usual sphere of opera tions ts the region over which the old tyrant Msldt formerly ruled. Although at the time of Mr. Crawford's visit the spheres of influence of Great Britain and the Conco Free State had not been accurately laid down.

It was well known that one side of the lake was British and the oher was not, and advantage was taken of this state of things by the natives to essoe from the consequences of their misdeeds. Mr. Crawford made his way fu ross the great Kundelungu plateau and Hi ted en route a very interesting tribe who lived in refuses among the rocks. When surprised by the sudden appearance of a white man the were at first hostile, hut they soon became friendly and hospitably Inclined; Mr. Crawford crossed tbf lake from southeast to east In a native boat, and took two davs to accomplish the journey.

He is of the -onlnion that Luke Mweru is a more important Hhr-et of water than has hitherto been rec-oRnisted, but the outline of the lake seemed to underjro very rapid changes, and its con ftsru ration can only be deter- mined after more careful observations than have yet ben possible. Mr. Crawford found that Livingston's name was still remembered In the land, and had even found a place. In the people's sonx. At Kalunirwizi he found the Union Jack flv-1ns and various dscipline maintained.

The general disposition was. he found, to settle down and accent the rule of the white niiin. with all its little understood restrictions on freedom of action In the way of tnunlerlng and looting, but Kaxembe, the BToat. chief to th southeast of the lake. refused the British flag though the British are in great favor with the common people.

The correspondent of the London Times In Home takes a hopeful view of tb financial situation' In Italv. He says: "The absolute sincerity with which the Sign or Ponnfno wen to the bottom of all the oi-llratfons, and the pessimism of his early (statements, which were realised in every particular. Justify us in accepting the. conclusions based on tbem. The general situation, commercial and Industrial, is either improving or not deteriorating, and.

The difficulties the general no-sition are real enouarh. For the last few years Italv. financially speaklnsr.

Ei STRONG. Knew More Than Any Other Man in (ho West Brief Reminiscences. "Probably, -says the Milwaukee Sentinel, "no man- in Chicago had a larger or more agreeable acquaintanceship, or was held, in greater esteem among the country publishers of the west than Charles E. This "is undoubtedly true, and it is likely that no man- again can gain such an acquaintanceship. Mr.

Strong was of the west, western. Bora in Michigan, his parents being among the pioneer settlers of that sate, he learned the trade of a printer Jn Milwaukee, and before the war was a Journeyman printer in that city. At that time the late H. Perkins was a partner, at Baraboo, with A. N.

Kellogg, whose rival Mr. Strong was for so many years in the readyprint business in Chicago, so that, no matter how strong the doubt as to who originated the ready-print feature, it is certain that as a business In the United States it began In Wisconsin. In I860 Mr. Strong became foreman of the composing room of the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin, holding the place for ten years. The ready-print business of the proprietors of that paper had grown to such proportions, and Mr.

Strong was so thoroughly familiar with it, that in 1870 he was sent to Chicago to establish the Chicago Newspaper Union, in which he acquired an interest: The business grew very rapidly under his practical management, and a few years later the branch at Fort Wavne. was established. This proved so successim tnat in 1884 the Sioux city branch was put in, and from the start It proved one of the most profitable limbs of the great business. Thus Mr. Strong kept In thorough touch with the country publishers of the' northwest.

He knew a great majority of them personally, and was familiar with the interior of many of their offices He watched them carefully and took an interest in them. If they proved honest and they could have almost unlimited credit in any of the establishments controlled by him. If they had hard luck, he was ready to help them. If they developed more skill In the mechanical part of the business than in the affairs of management, he was apt to give them a chance In one of his big print factories, or secure good pjiices ror mem eisewnere. Mr.

Strong, like all old printers, had many fads and peculiarities, the relation of which will be appreciated by members of the craft. He had what might be-called an "eagle eye." He seemed to see everything around "the offices under his control. When he visited the Sioux City branch, which he did three or four times a year, he generally came in unannounced, and entered the building by the back door. Then he would take in every detail until he reached the manager's office, and by that time he would generally find plenty to talk about For many years every ready-print establishment in the land used for a general title letter a kind of type known as Brevier Aldlne. In these days of modern faces, it would be considered very homely, but at that time It was almost Indispensible, because it was type which almost every country office had, and the use of It for captions on the ready-print side gave the sheet something of a look of uniformity.

In the same way, when the Chicago Newspaper Union was selling a new outfit to a publisher, the Brevier Al-dine always put In as a necessary part of the equipment Finally, with the multiplicity of new faces, and their general adoption by the printers in both city and country, some of the younger attaches of the new paper union began to think Brevier Aldine a good of a chestnut, and proposed to leave it out of future orders, hut Mr. Strong would not hear to it. Finally, without consultation with him, the manager of the supply department resolved, to substitute -a hand, somer face for It, not thinking that Mr. Strong would discover It What was his surprise and chagrin, however, to see the general manager come rushing out into the shipping room with an invoice bill in his hand, demanding to know if this order had gone. It had not, and the supply man asked what was the Why," exclaimed Mr.

Strong, with some excitement "There's a big mistake In You've forgotten the Brevier 'Well Civilized. Washington special:" MaJ. Gen.

Here are some of the questions he asked the prisoners. and their answers: How do you feel here as prisoners?" fWe are only grateful for this unexpected treatment." "Were you ever so well treated In your wn country's army?" "We have never been medically treated In our army." "Why, are there no surgeons In your army?" "There are surgeons, but they are not attached to the army and charge fees for treatment and as we have no money we cannot receive medical treatment" Continued from Page Nine.

It brought out the -factp. which had been but chartngly recognized before, that women1 are 'surely takjng a place in the affairs of the world in no sense secondary to man's The record' of that wonderful' gat tiering of women from every'qtSarterJof- the earth must always remain one of the brightest pages in the history of the nineteenth century.

something which every cultivated woman feels an interest, and the. two volumes Jn which it is comprised will be found in every, home in the land, -s- The delay in Issuing; this work indicates In some degree the greatness of the task that- was before the compilers. The work has been done by Mrs. May Wright Sewall, who was the chairman of the commits pn organization and was selected.iby the.offlcials in charge to make the report. The nearly 1,000 pages that constitute the-two volumes are not filled-with jnere dry epitome from which one can select extracts with freedom.

Address follows, address with an apparent natural continuity, one speaker taking up the thread of thought where it was dropped, by the last, the whole being woven into a'homogeneous narrative by the able editor. That this task was nb'easy one is apparent" when it Is realized that 'over-600-different speakers addressed the" meetings, coming rom almost every land -under "the sun, and treating of such' widely divergent subjects as education, literature and the dramatic' and religion, charity and. philanthropy, moial and social reform the-civil and iioliti cal status of besides" a hundred and one other To attempt to; conciselyepltomize the broad scope of the book Bee his an. almost hopeless task.

i There is much effort" being put' forth by those engaged in literary work to supply the demand which is everywhere manifest for clean, sensible stories of everyday life among American people. Some of the literary fellows call it realism, others veritism, while others do not try to name It at all, but just go on supplying the plain demand for good read- ing matter. Of the latter class Is the author of a book of short stories bearing the title. Elder Conklln and Other Stories. The title story is a charming one.

It is located away down on the Indian Territory line of Kansas; an old farmer, a deacon In the churc. lives with his beautiful daughter, who is a veritable wild flower unplucked; a college bred young man who drifts Into the frontier settlement And is teaching schoolu.but; falls in love with the a 'third party to the love making subsequently comes in1 as al lawyer'' -from Wichita? called to advise the frontiersmen on their rights when ordered to get oft. the reservation. The deacon is a queer mixture of honesty and free and" easy dishonesty under the guise of sharp trading, but the charm of the. story Js in the way the unlettered young daughter falls in love with the school- master really makes love to him in a crude There is nothing whatever -unnatural in the whole story, though It may strike some persons at first as far fetched.

It becomes necessary on one occasion for the schoolmaster to-whip a bully who also admired the girl, but in the end (the lawyer elopes with her. The freedom of the simple girl is simply astonishing. On one occasion we find her almost reproaching him for not showing his pre- sumed llklng.for her. "So you like me after all? Like me really?" "Do you doubt it" His accent was reproachful. "But why do you say 'after, alir "You never kissed me eomln back from: church last Sunday, and I showed you the school and everythln!" I have kissed you then? I was afraid of offendinjr you." "Offendin' me? Well, I guess not Every girl expects to be kissed when sha goes out with a "Let's make up for It now.

This may seem crude to the average reader, but if it is realism or iveritinv that is wanted, this will pass for a very good sample from the. The other stories In the book. are also, laid In the west and will serve well for the whiling away of an idle hour or two at any time. The author is. Frank Hariris.

And thl3 Judge Tourgee has done in hia most characteristic manner in An Outing with the Queen of Hearts. Elaborating as he does upon the art of literature, he insists upon its Immutability and the author's responsibility, "whose thought is stamped not merely on white paper, but on the reader's soul as well." That "as. the tree falls so it must live," and "that the: value of an author's work must be judged by the form and finish he gives It," Thus commenting, the reader Is gradually prepared for a change from the professional desk, with its absorbing duties, to an outing "far from the madding' crowd." You are wafted to the middle of a mystlo island where lies a little lake half hidden "by pine and hemlock, surrounded by hundreds of acres of marsh filled with cedar and tamrack, and "beyond that, sand and silence, and the echoing shorel" The principal part of this book has appeared in magazine articles, it is a delight to have it gathered together and published by Merrill Baker.
