Two of his uncles had been officers in the Austrian army and one of them had fought under Maximilian in Mexico. Not long 'before young Pulitser decided to emigrate to America he had run away from horn to Paris to enlist In the Legton Kt ranger, but was rejected because even then his sight was defective.

The form or government hich the British army maintains at Gibraltar may be the model upon which the United States will establish a government for the Panama canal zone after the canal is finished. The likeU-bood that troops always will occupy the zone fits In with the ideas of a military government. It Is reported from the isthmus that Major General Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army, has declared he would send Judge Advocate General Crowder to Gibraltar to study the problem. Betty Bradeen's Morning Chat To judge by the wild scramble for beautifiers, beauty is the most desirable thing on earth, while history tells us that it is often an unfortunate heritage. Beauty has wielded power in isolated cases, but the average of good looks is low, and many of the happiest women in the world are plain of face and unattractive In body.

I taw an illustration of the superiority of brains over beauty at a fashionable seashore resort one summer. The place teemed with pretty girls, among whom were eeven distinguished for real beauty. The most eligible bachelor was a multimillionaire with a name known all over the world, good habits and unusual shyness. He was nothing much to look at before you knew how much money he controlled, but every girl of the lot angled for him in her own way. To an onlooker the contest was amusing.

Th day would begin in hope and end in disappointment, for no one of the number could flatter herself that she had advanced a fraction of an inch in his esteem. One day there descended upon the place a plain young woman without any money worth mentioning, but with sufficient good blood to give ber social standing. Her clothes were just clothes, and nothing more, there being nothing in material, style or number to make them remembered. Ia due course of time he met the eligible and nothing happened for several days. Then he stumbled upon her In a secluded spot where she had gone for a quiet hour of reading.

Her spiteful acquaintances declared It a deep-laid plot, but she kept her own counsel. The man was a book worm, too, though the fact was not known, and it somehow came about in the discussion of literature that the young woman read to him and his doom was sealed. She was an elocutionist in training, and he was so entranced with her gift that he had eyes for nobody else. The wooing was brier, and the marriage has been a happy one. I have not seen her since the wedding day.

but rumor says tiiat she reigns by cleverness alone, as she has not improved in appearance. Five of the seven beauties had tempestuous married lives, and passed through the divorce court. In every case the husband tired of beauty and turned to something more substantial. It is human to desire to look as well as possible, but It Is not wise to overlook other valuable assets like brains, style, good nature and talents. They are nearer the level of commonplace and some of them promise a deal of everyday comfort.

An important item is the lack of expense in maintaining a homely standard. BETTY BRADEEN. DONT MISS THE MINE TESTS. Cars every half hour on Oharleroi and Washington Trolley Iines from 7 a. m.

President Taft haa declared that schedule la the most complicated schedule in th existing tariff law. and that many ratea In It are too high, exceeding any needed protection for the wool grower or manufacturer. lie has contended repeatedly, however, that he could not Judge what reductions should be mo until he had sufficient data at hand.

Pulitzer Is credited with the strategy which forced Carl Schurx into the chairmanship at the convention in Cincinnati In 1S73 at which Horace Greeley was nominated for the presidency. The convention came to be popularly known as the "Bill and Joe convention" after Its two leaders.

Joseph llilltzer and William Grosvenor. at that time editor of the "Missouri Democrat." Mr. Pulitzer stumped the Middle West for Greeley during the campaign and made more than 70 speeches, most of them in German. Four years later, when Carl Schurx and the Republicans once more were at peace. Mr.

Pulitzer's campaign speeches were remembered and he was chosen by the Democratic party as Schura'a opponent on debate in the stump. During these four years Mr. Pulitzer had turned away from liberal Republicanism and now was a Democrat. Political beliefs made it impossible fur him and Carl Schurx. who was Interested the "Post." to continue their newspaper relations.

In 1S75 Pulitzer sold his Interesta to Schurz and Dr. Prce-torius. The following year Charles A. Dana selected Mr. Pulitzer to go to Washington to report for the "Sun" the proceedings of the commission which was to decide the Tllden-Hayes election.

Here is a model that Is exceptionally attractive and that can be varied in so many ways that it really means several.

With the big collar and without the chemisette it is both smart and attractive and so dressy that it practically becomes a tea gown. Without the collar and with the chemisette it is much simpler. Both gowns are closed at the left of the front and lapped In the surplice style that is so much liked this season. A very practical feature is found In the arrangement of the shlr-rlngs. Those In the back are stationary, but those in the front are regulated by means of casings and ribbons, consequently the size is adjustable and that renders the gown an excellent one for maternity wear as well as for ordinary use.

In the illustration cashmere is trimmed with dotted silk and with lace frills. Gowns of this kind are made from almost every material that is thin, soft and pretty, albatross and challis and the like for the simple one. foulard, messaline, crepe de chine for those that are more dressy.
