Copyright by International News Service; supplied by New Process Company, New York. Known to His Classmates as Junius Spencer Morgan, gmm]son‘ of the late J. Pierpont Morgan is onof of the most interesting young men ut! Harvard today. He is twenty-one | years of age and was personally men- tioned in his grandfather’'s will justf as many times as he has years to hisf credit, showing that the mind of thel nation's great financier dwelt with some emphasis upon the youth. Just now, Harvard is chiefly in- terested in the prowness of the young| man while attached to the business “Silent Morgan”, end of the oar. college, a trifle shy as to mathematics but fond of athletics, he has had a seat in one of the class boats. As an oarsman he steadily developed and climbed from the four to the eight- oar crew in his freshman year. N And it has been a case of work with Morgan, for he has never been what the college boys term a “mixer.” The are of handshaking and becoming one of the elect by means of favor has never been his. In fact, his habit of remaining in Because of His Love of Seclusion. Since his advent atseclusion has earned for him the title of “Silent Morgan.” The men who take leading part in the affairs of the/ college Say that he does not know anybody at Harvard that he did not know when he came there and that he is not at all prone to get in an atmosphere where his circle of friends would be extended. In both rowing and tennis young Morgan has shown unusual skill and he is known today more for his ath- letic prowness than for his scholar- ship efficiency. STRICT ENGLISH COURT RULE Queen, Shocked at Laxity in Soclety, Makes Erasures in Her Vis- iting Lists. Queen Mary is making her influ- ence aud her strong personality felt at court in no uncertain manner, and | those who wish to be received and to be held in good repute within its charmed circle must look well to their manner of going. Never before have there been so many erasures from submitted lists and never has the line been so sharp- ly drawn as to the proper qualifica- tions as at the present time, the New York Herald’s London correspondent states. No lady who steps out of her sphere of true womanliness and cor- rect feminine modesty; no one who has a breath of scandal against her or him (for the male sex is also in- cluded in the ban), and, above all, no | individual who has figured as a prin- cipal in the divorce court need seek to find favor with Queen Mary, and such a one applying for a “command” to the royal presence will surely meet with a prompt refusal. The queen—and the king is said to be in cordial agreement—is deter- mined that her court shall, as far as possible, be one of absolute purity. She has been much shocked at the many causes celebres and their un- edifying details, as well 28 by the so- called recreations and amusements of a certaln section of society. More- over, it is reported that the queen views with great dislike any further laxity in connection with the divorce law. She regards the marriage tie as sacred and binding, and while de- ploring the lightness with which in many cases the contracts are under- taken, she yet holds that once it has been entered into it should be held in- violaté: It is even whispered that Queen Mary has brought her influence to bear on the subject to a very material extent and that government inaction with regard to the findings of the re- cent divorce commission is thus not a little accounted for. QUEER WHIMS FOR FUNERALS Englishman’s Coffin Made of 4,000 Matchboxes—Unusual Burial at Sea. An enormous crowd gathered ai Chester a few months ago to witness ‘the funeral of an electrical engineer, who was carried to the cemetery in a coftin that had been laboriously con- structed by himself out of 4,000 match- boxes. These, with their tops visible and advertising their respective mak- ers, were varnished over and stréngth- ened inside with wood. On the coffin was placed an electric battery, says London Tit-Bits. Some years-ago a maiden lady died at Calemis-sur-Lys, in France, who was reported to have been a cham- plon snuff taker. She enjoyed singu- larly good health, retained all her mental faculties and died at a ripe old age. Her funeral was most ex- traordinary. Her wish was that her coffin should be filled with tobacco, the floor of the mortuary chamber carpeted with it and the heir to the property charged to scatter tobacco before the hearse on the way to the cemetery. A lady who left Liverpool some time ago by the Lucania’ crossed the At- lantic on a unique mission. A promi- nent New York business man, who died recently, directed in his will that his remains should be cremated and the ashes scastered on the waters of the Atlantic from a Cunard steamer. The Lucania, being the special favor- ite of the deceased gentleman, was selected, and the lady in question, at a time fixed, so that simultaneously the family could attend a memoria! service in New York, cast the ashes from an urn into the ocean. A cer tificate was given by the captain o! | the Lucania stating the latitude and longitude in which the ashes were commiitted to the deep. Lang Willie's Retort. A Scotch caddie is almost certain to be a shrewd observer of men and things, and he is frequently ' gifted with a sharp tongue. “Lang Willie” was for many years a well-known figure on the St. An- drews golf links. On the occasion of Louis Kossuths visit to St. Andrews, a public dinner was given in his hon- or, and Willie apyplied for a ticket to the bailie who was in charge of the arrangements. The worthy man curt- ly refused the application, saying to Willie that it was “no place for the likes of him to be at the dinner.” “No for the likes of me” was Wil lie’s indignant rejoinder. “I've been in the company of gentlemen from 11 to 4 o’clock maist days for the last 30 year, and that’s mair than you can say!”—Youth’s Companion. Do Not Fear Disarmament. Worldwide disarmament weuld not embarrass the great Krupp concern in Germany. The technical director of the corporation says: *“It will affect us little. Persons generally believe that the Krupps exist solely for the manufactyre of war material, but this is erroneous. They forget that we produce about 4,000 tons of steel daily, war material being almost a side line. |If a worldwide disarmament was sud- denly effected we would proceed much the same as before.” Had Not Fair Chance In Life. Recent statistics as to the life his- tory of the inmates of the Elmira (N. Y.) reformatory, the prison to which offenders under the age of 25 are sent on their first conviction, show that 60 per cent. of them were raised In orphan asylums Their Destination Unce:stain. She was hurriedly adjusting ker veil, and had but a few momenti in which to catch her ear. “Oh, deer,” she murmured, “I can’t find a pin any- where. I wonder where all the pins g0 to, anyway?” “That's a diffieult question to answer,” replied her prace tical husband, who- was standing by. “Because they are always pointed in orme direction and headed in another.* And He Sat and Thought. Youth—*“Oh, everything bores one nowadays. Worst of it is, when I'm bored, I ean’t help showing it.” Lady —"“Oh, but you should learn to dis- guise it under & mask of gayety, like me.”—Punch. Best Cellars. An eastern author, it is said, makes a good income by raising mushrooms in the basement of his house This IS COLDEST INHABITED TOW& Verkhoyansk, Siberia, Has a Maximum Winter Temperature 85 Degrees P Below Zero. Verkhoyansk, a good-sized oity in northeastern Siberia, boasts the dis- tinction of being the coldest inhabited city on the globe. Itis in north altitude 67 degrees on the arctic plane, and scarcely more than 150 feet above the sea level. Its annual temperature is three above zero, and in winter the maxi- mum is 85 below zero. The Russian government owns the town, and it in- terested in having an administrative center where clever and industrious Yokuts, fur-trading Jews of Siberia, carry on their operations. All the in- habitants of Verkhoyansk, with the exception of a few officials and Rus- sian traders, are Yokuts. The Yokuts are such ambitious and aggressive people that they do not seem to mind the fact that the rivers freeze to the bottom and that amall trees have been known to snap and split from the biting force of the cold. Still many Russians even seem to prefer it to warmer posts. Its atmos- phere is always clear and the air still, and there are no blizzards or snow- storms. Then the Siberian dress adds {.considerably to the enjoyment of the arctic city. It consists of two suits of fur, an outer and an inner, and a huge hood to pull over the face so that there i3 just enough space to see and breathe through. The summer i8 hotter than might be reasonably expected the average tem- perature being 59 above zero in July. The earth is green and vegaiation thrives, but the eurface of the ground is scarcely thawed. ANIMAL AND FLOWER RESERVE Kangaroo Island for a Preservation of Australlan Specles of Wild Life, Kangaroo island, which is situated some six hours’ steaming from Ade- laide, the capital of South Australia, is regarded as an ideal place fn which to preserve permanently animal and botanical specleg distinctive of the Australian contient. At present 176 square miles on the island are utilized as a fauna and flora reserve and it 1s now suggested that the area should be tonsiderably increased. Certain islands in various lakes have been set apart as bird sanctuaries, close seasons for different, kinds of birds are proclaimed and in various other ways efforts are made to prevent the destruction of the native fauna and flora. Recently the attention of the South Australian commission of crown lande was drawn to the desirableness of pro- tecting the opossum, which he had as- certained is now being destroyed in largs numbers for the sake of its skin, for which there is a great market. To prevent the wholesale destruc- tion of the marsupial and also to give power to the state government to pro- tect other native animals from time to time as occasion may require, the com- mission has directed that a bill shall be prepared for introduction into par- liament at an early date to provide for shall not tempt us, however, to make$ the protection of wild animals.—Lo any remarks concerning “best. cel- lars.”—Chicagy Tribune.

I've been operated on three times in the last year and a half.” Initlal Bluff, “l didn’t know you had so many initials,” said one man to another who had been lucky enough to secure an interview with the capitalists. “I near- 1y dropped over when you told the boy that J. K. H, Allen wished to see the boss. What do they all stand for?” “Nothing,” said the man of many initials. “J. for John is the only one I have any right to. The rest are add- ed just for effect. It was on their strength that I got in to see you. “A string of letters will secure you an interview almost anywhere; not printed on a card—never send in your card if you are unknown and not prop erly introduced—but spoken and with emphasis—J. K. H—just like that, so the boy will think you are somebody and will take care to repeat those blessed initials with the same force. Not one man in a million will turn you down if you can get yourself an- wounced that way.” Advancement In Argentina.. Argentina is about to put through a number of large engineering scheres. The municipality of Bahia Blanca is asking for estimates for a drainage scheme to cost $1,600,000. A new wa- ter supply and sewerage scheme i8 to be undertaken in the capital, which will cost over $20,000,000. -An im- portant electric light and power plant will probably be the outcome of the arrangements now being concluded be- tween the governments of Argentina and Grazil for utilizing the Iguazu waterfalls, which afford sufficient wa- ter power to supply the two states and also the republic of Uruguay with light and fire “probably for a hundred years to come.” - Good Nightl Mrs, Highbrow—Don’t you find the l4=inch Ball Bearing, 10-inch wheel . $6.00 16-inch Ball Bearing, 10 inch wheel . $8.00 18<inch.
