CHINA GOES BACK TO
MONARCHY AGAIN
Sometime ago the world was high-
ly elated that China had turned over
a new leaf in regard to the form of
government, abandoning a series of
dynasties of kings or emperors of ab-
solute authority of several thousands
of years. It seemed as though the Ce-
jestial Kingdom was advancing, and
g0 to many it is a sort of a shock

Last Friday afternoon Professor
Weaver gave the high school students
a general examination in geography
merely to test the geographical
knowledge of the students. We have
not heard the results of the test but
we trust that it has not been a com-
plete failure since Mr. Weaver was
so eager to find out how much we
really know.
The seniors are studying the
sphere in geometry, and things roll
now when it is learned that a mon-
archical form of government is to he
re-established. Nations like children
need a good guide until they become
wise enough to rule themselves. Chi-
na is not ready for a Republican form
of government. Yuan Shi Kai, who is
a statesman and a patriot is to be the

as long as Prince George remains young
and without experience in the grave
responsibilities of state the government
fs in dread of possible complications.
Everything is being done to give him
a full appreciation of his duty as king.
Prince George has not seen his moth-
er for several years, since her so called
“memoirs” were published. She elop-
ed from the royal palace some years
ago with his tutor, Giron, and was di-
vorced by King Frederick, being com-
pelled to renounce her title as crown
princess. her husband conferrring upon
her the title of Countess of Monti-
gnoso. The king took charge of the
girl baby born to Louise after her
elopement, the child being christened
as the king’s and given the name of
Princess Anne Monique Pie, being in
cluded in the royal family and’ kept
away from the mother entirely.
Louise's later escapade in marrying an
Italian pianist, Toselli, the publicity
of a divorce from him and a fight for
the child born of this union, withthe
publication of her memoirs ridiculing
her husband’s family, had the effect of
completely alienating King Frederick
and his government from her. Com-
parative poverty has kept her quiét in
recent years. :
Prince George's marriage has already

THOUSANDS AWAITING GIRL.
Child Was Lost When Her Grandpat-
ents Willed Money to Her.
Spokane, Wash.—Somewhere in the
inland empire ‘is a little girl between
eleven and twelve years of age for
whom thousands of dollars are wait-
ing. A widespread search is now being
made by Mrs. Lena Johnson of Elmia,
Ida., a distant relative, who has the
fortune in trust. : 3
Disowned by her own parents, the
mother took the girl when a baby to
Mrs. Johnson, who was a relative, and
asked her to find a home for the child.
Mrs. Johnson brought the baby to
Spokane in 1904. A few weeks later a
home was found by Dr. Mary Latham,
who was then head of the Bpokane
Children’s Home society. The home
was that of a farmer living somewhere
pear Spokane. A year later all of the
records of the society were destroyed
by fire.
In their old age the parents of the
mother of the little girl repented of
their attitude against their daughter,
and when they died some time ago
their will showed that all of their
money had been left to the grand-
daughter.
