Being busy and thinking you are busy are two different prcpositions. w2l The man who never reads likes to have his picture taken ina library scene. A woman usually does better when she marries the second time— a man worse. Somehow we don’t feel right about a person who talks or writes about a dog as a “canine.” We have noticed that the girl you are talking to about agesis always a year younger than the other girls in her crowd. You do not dare sympathize with some people unless you wish to spend days, weeks, months and years listening to their tale of woe. BARON FLEECED AT CARDS Lost Considerable on Ocean Liner and Has Player Arrested. New York, Dec. 6.—Baron J. R. K. von Ittersum of Berlin played poker on board the liner Kron Prinzessin Cecille on her last trip across the ocean. Incidentally he lost $600 in cash and gave notes for $600 and $800 more.

Queenstown, Dec. 6.—The Cunard line steamer Mauretania arrived here at 5:49 p. m,, thus breaking the east- ern bound record.

The previous record, 4 days, 22 hours and 50 minutes, was made by the Lusi- tania, sister ship of the Mauretania. Consequently the Mauretania has beaten the Lusitania by twenty-two minutes. .

MINISTERIAL CRISIS SETTLED Incident Made Significant by the Fact That for the First Time in the History of the Empire the Cabinet Admits Responsibility to Reichstag. Berlin, Dec. 6.—The ministerial crisis has been settled as quickly as It broke out. Prince von Buelow, the Imperlal chancellor, has succeded in getting pledges of support from all the coalition parties and at‘the open- ing of the relchstag the leaders ot these parties assured the chancellor of their continued loyalty. This crisis has been far more im- portant and significant than appears on the surface. It is the first time in the history of the empire that a chan cellor has appealed to the majqrity in the reichstag for support as a condi- tion of his continuance in office. Up to the present time the attitude of the ministers has always been: “We are responsible to the em peror; we Wwill hold office so long as it pleases him; we are not responsi ble to the reichstag.”’ Consequently the action taken by Prince von Buelow introduces a revo lutionary change into German govern: mental methods. His appeal means nothing less than the responsibility of the ministry to the reichstag. It is understood that Emperor Will lam was fully aware that this step was coming before he went to Eng: land. He endorsed it fully in the be lef that the old system was no longer tenable. It is even intimated that it was arranged between the emperor and Prince von Buelow that the latter should make an opportunity during the absence of his majesty to throw himself upon the reichstag and thus usher in a new system of government. TAFT LEAVES FOR BERLIN Secretary of War Ends His Visit to St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg, Dec. 6.—Willlam H. Taft, the American secretary of war, and the members of his party left here at noon for Berlin. A party of Russian officers and functionaries and the staff of the American embassy saw the visitors off at the railroad station, The secretary will spend a few hours in Berlin. He has asked Charle- magne Tower, the American ambassa- dor at Berlin, to omit any formal en- tertainment on account of the serious illness of his mother at Millbury, Mass. The Russlan authorities are re- lieved that the secretary’s visit has passed off without any untoward inci- dent. The request of a group of stu- dents of the university to be permit- ted to send a deputation to welcome Secretary Taft upon his.arrival was denled by the authorities, as it was feared that this deputation was mere- ly a cover for a revolutionary demon- stratlon. The secret police constant- ly guarded the corridors of the hotel where the Taft party stopped in order to prevent their belng molested by anarchists or cranks, SAID TO HAVE CONFESSED Suspect Held In Connection With Great Northern Robbery. San Francisco, Dec. 6~-Peter F. Roller, who s said to have been an agent of Secret Service Agent Will- fam J. Burns and is now held here on a charge of larceny, has secured a confession from John Worthington of complicity in the robbery of the Great Northern train in Montana several months ago in which between $50,000 and $60,000 in coin and currency was stolen. The confession is in the hands of the local police, held on instruc- tions from Roller in the hope that he may obtain a portion of the reward offered for the capture of the traln robbers. Worthington has been held in the Jail for some time suspected of com- plicity in the train robbery. Three men were engaged in the crime, two of whom were captured with incrim- Inating evidence, and the confession of Worthington runs the last of the trio to earth.

HAVOC AT SEA FEARED. Wind Blows Fifty Miles an Hour Off Atlantic Coast. Norfolk, Va., Dec.. 6.—The wind reached a maximum velocity at Cape Henry of sixty miles an hour. It blew from the northwest and drove sea-| ward rather than towards the shore any vessels that may have been caught in its teeth, as no wrecks have been reported from the coast. The wind at the hurricane velocity it reached carried before it everything moveable on shore and it is feared that much havoc was wrought at sea, especially among sailing vessels pass- ing along in the coastwise trade. Ves- sels in port for the past day or two had warning and did not put to sea. The United States government’s sea- coast telegraph wires from Cape Henry southward are not working and no word could be had from the Cape Hatteras section bearing on the wind velocity reached there or any possible damage to shipping in that dangerous locality.

Material Cruching the Cu One of tha first tasks they set the new curate, who was handicapped by youth and inexperience, was to investl- gate the bonu fides of a “widow wo- man” who had applied to'the church for help, He departed nervously on his srrand and knocked, as i1l luek would have it, at the wrong door. “How long has your poor husband been dead, my good woman? What number of children have you? Are any of them working? ‘If so, what amount of money are they earning altogether?” were the questions he fired, like shots from a revolver, at the slatternly woman who answered his summons. “I presume I am ad- @ressing Mrs., Harrlet Smith?” he add- ed, noticing with alarm that she look- ed angry. “No, you ain’t,” answered the woman snappishly. “My name is Selina Jack- son, my bairns go to school and my 'usband’s doih’ what s necessary to a plateful of steak and onlons at this very moment.
