Royal Family on Balcony 'Finally the king and the queen and the royal family came out upon the balcony. His majesty was in the uni form of a general. The crown- prince, dressed as a sailor boy, waved his cap to the multitude. The excitement of the people arose almost to a delirium. The king- then did an unprecedented thing. He igave orders that the, Italian flajj be raised to the balcony. Then amid the thundering cheers of the mul titude his majesty advanced to the na tional standard and folding it in his arms embraced it. The royal family then retired within the palace.

SUBLIME SIMPLICITY The Epitaph Over Sir Henry Lawrence, the Lucknow Hero There is a simple'tomb in Lucknow, in India, that cost 110 more than many a plain farmer's gravestone in our ru ral burying places, but Clarence Poe declares that it impressed him more than anything else he saw in India ex cept the Himalayas, the Taj Mahal and the view of Benares from the river. It is the tomb of the heroic Sir Hen ry Lawrence, who died so glorious a death iu the great mutiny of 1557. No commander in all India had planned more wisely for the defense of the men and women under his care, but the siege hail only begun when he was mortally wounded. He called his suc cessor an t his associates to him, and at last, having omitted no detail of counsel or information that might en able them to carry out his farseeing plans, he roused himself to dictate his own immortal epitaph: Here Lies Henry Lawrence, Who Tried to Do His Duty. May the Lord Have Mercy on His Soul. And so to-day these lines, sublime in their simplicity, mark his last resting place, ami you feel that not even the great Akbar in Beeundra or Napoleon in Paris has a worthier monument.— \ outh's Companion. Modeled After an Ancient Tomb The temple of the Scottish Rite in Washingtor is a handsome white mar ble structure about 150 feet square and rises to a height of 150 feet above . the street level. At either side of the i main entrance is an immense marble ! sphinx. A row of tall lonic columns I surrounds the second story. The archi- I tects followed closely the design of the ' ancient tomb of King Mausolus. which j stood in Halicarnassus and was one of the seven wonders of the world. It ! was built by the wife of the king and was decorated with hundreds of won derful statues. This old tomb became so famous that many buildings were modeled after it, but' this is the only structure in America in which the de sign has been used. Her Only Course Ladv Anne Lindsay, the author of the old, poem, "Aul.'l Robin Gray," was not only a delightful conversation alist, but she was a great story teller.

After Tech'b Laurels The rain of the last two days did not seriously daftiage the cimlfcr track on Island Park for this afternoon's cham pionship meet for Pennsylvania schools under auspices of the Harrisburg Track Athletic Committee. On the con trary it packed the cinder and this was expected to aid in establishing new records for this annual gathering of scholastic athletes. The downpour at, several times last night was very heavy but early this morning Park Commissioner Taylor went to the island and' found conditions I favorable for the meet. He then de cided that unless another heavy show er should interfere the meet would be held as scheduled. The seats in the stands were all cleared of water and'i what sun shone this morning dried them I nicely so that at noon the comfort of I the spectators seemed, assured. This is the ninth annual scholastic meet to be held under the auspices of j the Harrisburg committee. In point j of the number of schools entered it surpassed all the meets for several years back. Two hundred athletes from the following fifteen high schools were entered: Elizabethville, Harrisburg, Central, ! Harrisburg Tech, Lykens, Millersburg, ! Milton, Reading, Steelton, Waynesboro, Columbia, Williamsport, Lancaster, Chester, York and Lebanon.

Cinder Track in Good Shape The shield which has been competed for for seven years will be formally awarded to the Reading High School at the end of to-day's meet, that school having won the championship more times than any other school in that period. The winner of last year's meet was Technical High, of Harris burg, which holds th e shield until to day, under the rules. The prize this year is a new shield to be competed for annually for seven years. In addition the championship team will get a silver cup and the runner-up a bronze cup. Individual athletes taking first, sec ond and third places in the different events will receive gold, silver and bronze medals, respectively. In the scoring, first place counts 'five points; second place, four; third place, three; fourth place, two points, and fifth, one. W.

MANY USES FOR GUNS They Have Even Been the Means at. Times of Saving Lives Guns would not go even if warfare were abolished. For example, the sig nal gun of a ship is used to announce her arrival on a coast. It would be difficult to find an equallv effective substitute. The 1 o'clock' gun, too, which is fired by electricity Greenwich observatory, is the most ef fective means possible of announcing the exact time to surrounding towns, while nothing more impressive could be found than the minute guns fired for public mourning and the salute giv en on occasions of public rejoicings. Guns save lives as well as take them. In desert countries, where it is difficult to collect water out of a mere damp ness of sand, gun barrels are often sunk into the ground. By this means moisture is collected in the bore and many lives have been preserved by a timely draw at the muzzle. A slaver, captured with a crew of slaves iu the tropics, was once put in charge of a prize crew. During the voyage water ran out and slaves, slav ers and prize crew were all dying of thirst. Then a sergeant hit on a bril liant idea. Taking all the available gun barrels, he plugged up the breach ends of a few of them, filled their bores with sea water ami set them end up among the coals of the galley fire. Then as the steam rose he ran it through the other gun barrels till it cooled. The cooling steam collected in the shape of excellent fresh water and bv this means scores of lives were saved.—Pearson 's Weekly. Trial by Jury The "New York Law Journal" says on the subject of trial by jury: " While we do not think that trial by jury ought to be abolished or that there is any increasing sentiment in that direction, we do believe that the system should be modified by dispensing with the requirement for unanimous verdicts. This would obviate the ele ment of individual eccentricity as an impediment to the administration of justice. Mental idiosyncrasy on the part of judges is constantly exhibited and scarcely excites comment. An emi nent and very able judge will dissent r'roni the ruling of his associates when it is extremely difficult to understand how so gifted a mind could have gone off on that particular tangent. By per mitting affirmances or reversals," not withstanding dissent, the personal equa tion is eliminated." In Biology Teacher—"John, how can you tell the dogwood trcef' John—"By its bark."

This makes an average of $1,440,000,000 a month, $48,400,000 a day and $2,000,000 an hour.

SUFFRAGISTS ARE AFTER SCALPS OF LAW-MAKERS Association's President Calls on Con stituents' of Representatives Who Voted Against Women Watchers' Bills, to Punish Them at the Polls Mrs. Frank M. Roessing. as president of the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Association, sent out last night an open letter to the constituents of all the Representatives whose votes helped to defeat the bill in the House which would hav<> permitted women watchers to be at the polls in November when the suffrage question will be voted on. In this county the letter was addressed to the constituents oi Representative John ('. Nisslev and Representative Walter S. Young. The letter says in part: •'Of course, if your representatives merely carried out your personal wishes when they voted against a measure framed to minimize the chances of fraud at the polls, we have no criticism to make. But we do not believe that such is the case. We are convinced that deep in the heart of every real man is a love of fair play. Therefore we feel confident that your representatives did not truly represent you when they voted against this measure, and we would ap preciate it if you would let the public know that uo man who betrays the principles you stand for can 'expect your vote as a candidate for re-election to the Legislature." The letter also says: "Inasmuch as members of the same well-organized lobby that defeated the local option bill lobbied against the watchers bill, we nre curious to know if their activities influonced your rep resentatives' votes, or of they voted against our nv asure merely on the as sumption that you, their constituents, were averse to giving womenfolk a square deal."
