rrja .?-3i -w m,. t , -- mp 6 j By Charles OR any one who has Imagination; there is a curious and -wont derful story behind a "luxurious" bill of fare. Let us begin with the wines; and let us assume that they are genuine, for one can usually; have the authentic thing by paying the price for It. The wines on a richly decked table really rep resent the work of hundreds of French peasants, with their wives and children, who, in the midst of a lovely country. $x F i M i rise early and toil late, with loving and tender care watca ' ing over the growth and, ripening of the fruit of what Is one ot-the -most beautiful and decorative plants in the .world. Millions of these thrifty, simple people depend for their well-being and comfort on the constant - demand for wines, and for the best and purest, and therefore the most extensive wines. The rich do not compel these people to work j. nature compels them to work. What the rich do is to influence the direction in which they shall work, and to bring within their reach all kinds of commodi ties in exchange for their work. . So-other things on the same table represent the well-beings the family comfort; of shepherds In the hills, perhaps, of our west, or of Wales or Scotland; or the wealth of fishermen on the riven of Maine or along our New England coasts; or down south, in the Gulf, or In the oyster beds at the mouths of our rivers; or, again, the earnings of the hunters along the fringes of the sea marshes, or among the woods and hills, or on the prairies; vigorous, adventurous men, with a warm love of every changing aspect of natural beauty, who are thus able to lead half-wild lives under the fair dome of heaven. It is just this putting In motion of a huge army of folk, scattered over widespread regions, carrying out exacting tasks, that makes the cost of an expensive banquet; and the rich man is simply the factor determining In which of a score of directions a constant stream of resources shall flow, bringing the power to work, and recompense for work, to a varied army, of good people all over the world. . . The basis of the whole thing is that the richest man in the world can not spend a penny except by paying some one for something. Harper's Weekly. : The Berliner '. Unpleasant Qualities on the Surface, Admirable Ones Below. . By Robert Haven Schauffler HEN I speak of the stratum of Berlin society; for the gentleman and the gentle woman are fairly constant types the world over. I mean the nerson whom the young clerk, fresh from the provinces', - sets about imitating; the moment he enters whom the stranger to The Berliner inclines to military standards in appear ance and character, very much as official Berlin does. A smooth, determined chin, a daunting glance, a right noble pose, a rapid stride, are all the mode. An upturned mustache has recently been de rigueur, and one notices with joy that even the bronze mermen on the Heydt bridge possess the imperial "string-beard." One of the Berliner's most trying characteristics is his superiority. He nas known the latest joke at least 10 years.. Do not try to tell him anything or to strike from him the least spark of enthusiasm, for news is no news to . him; he was born blase. His eleventh commandment is, "Let not thyself be bluffed," his life motto, "XII admirarL" In conversation he instinctively in terrupts each fresh subject to deliver the last word upon It, and to argue with him is to insult him. There is something cutting in his speech. Per haps "Voltaire's influence on the great Frederick, the critic king, started this dreadful habit, which seems to grow with indulgence. It is a curious coin cidence that the first ' performance of Goethe's "Faust" should have been given ln Schloss Monbijou, the home of the Hohenzollern museum, for it would almost seem as though the Berliners had modelled their daily speech after the caustic, sneering, telling style of .the engaging villain in that drama. They have little humor, but much wit of . the barbed, barracks variety. And their target is the universe. ' Because their unpleasant qualities are on the surface and their admir able ones are below, the Berliners do a grave injustice to the rest of Ger many. Many foreigners go first to the capital, are repelled by the people they first meet, and hasten on. to France or Italy with the idea that all Germans have corrosive tongues and manners of a drill sergeant. Whereas there' is no wider difference in temperament between the people of Naples .and those of Warsaw than between the citizens of Munich and the citizens of Berlin1 The Century. What Shall We Do with 5,000,000 Women ? By Amused 4- " . ,1 HEN President Woodrow Wilson In his talk before the Wi ouuiuciu Buucij gcuciaiucu uu iub iugicai nature ot wom I en's minds he evidently was not acquainted with the ar- - II Civic Education against woman suffrage. In deploring the entrance of women into the industries she thinks "the time has come when we must consider, and consider seriously, whether this movement has not gone far enough." For the sake of the argument let us decide to agree with, her, but let us pretend that course we really don't. Would this home-loving lady (who seems to have plenty of money to 6tay at home on) mind telling us what she would have us do with the Ave million working women we already have on our hands I mean are going to have when we have decided they have gone far enough? Those whose savings seem to make the venture safe might be put to bed and strapped down if they canjt be made to behave any other way. The hundreds of thousands of women wuose husbands cannot support them might be killed off in some humane manner. The women who have parents to sup port could be disposed of in the same practical fashion. And the "bachelor maids" with no one but themselves to support and no account nohow a gen tle application of chloroform and all would be over, with no one the .worse. Only the widow is left, and she but she can usually dispose of herself, and we forego advice.

' A CHILD KIDNAPPED WHfiemfflaged 8, Taken From School at Sharon, Pa NO CLUE TO THE PERPETRATORS Willie .Whitla, 8 Years Old, Taken ' From -His School at Sharon, Pa- Held For $10,000 Ransom Terms " Complied With, But Plan Fails. years' old, was kidnapped from school at onaron, i-ennsyiv&ma.. ou dressed man. drove up to the school and told the janitor- that " Willie 's father had sent him to bring Willie to ' his ' bfllce. 4 ' Not suspecting any thing wrong the teacher fixed Willie up and sent him on, in light pleasan try saying she hoped he was- not be ing kidnapped. - . v " All , too soon she found that it was a stern reality. A letter was received Friday in Willie's own hand which read; -Dear Father: Two bad -men have me, and if you don't send $10,000 they will kill ma in 10 days. Willie Whitla. There was nothing on the envelop to denote where the letter had been mailed. ' Frank H. BuhL a millionaire uncle of Willie's took a deeided interest in the case and will freely pay the $10, 000 for his safe recovery. It was reported from that citj that two men and a boy answering the description of the kidnappers and their victim have been seen there, consequently the supposition is thai Mr. Buhl has received word which made him believe his nephew was id Cleveland or that vicinity. The bug gy in which the child was taken from school was located at Warren Ohio, and as the Cleveland papers were among those specified, in whict the demand of the 'kidnappers for a $10,000 ransom should be answered by a personal advertisement, all evi dence seemed to indicate that devel opments in the mysterious case was centered about the Lake City. A clue was secured Sunday, in which little credence is placed, how ever. On March 1 the local postoffice department received a circular an nouncing a reward for a man , de scribed as Samuel C. Leavanson, of Canton, O., said to be wanted there for the theft of $400. Janitor Wes ley C. Sloss, of the school from which Willie was taken, when shown the cir- Luxtix uctuiug a. poriraii ot me man wanted, declared it bore a strong re semblance to the abductor. A Cleveland, O., special on Sunday says: Whitla was instructed in a letter from the kidnappers to leave $10,000 in Flat Iron Park Saturday night. If no detectives were about the kidnappers promised they would deliver the boy safely to the father in a hotel at Ashtabula at 3 o'clock Sunday morning. Whitla deposited the money as requested, but the Ash tabula police learned of the plans to pay the ransom and went to the park. The kidnapers are supposed to have seen them, for at 3 o'clock the money was intact and not a man had ap proached the spot. Whitla believes that the failure to effect a settlement with him will frighten the kidnapers and thev will not communicate with him again. The police of Ashtabula are unwil ling to ibelieve that the kid have left that section of the eountry. lhe letter from the captors of Wil lie Whitla came to the boy's parents in Sharon Friday afternoon. Upon receipt of the letter Whitla called in private dectives and asked their advice. They were anxious to capture the kidnapers and pleaded with him to permit them to place a decoy package of bills at the desig nated spot and let officers lie in wait and capture the men who came aftei the money. Whitla would not agree to this. He finally consented to permit the detec tives to acompany him to this city and await his summons to start a search forthe kidnapers. Promptly at 10 o'clock Whitla lefi the package of bills in the park. H went tto the designated spot alone, feeling certain that his compliance with the request of the kidnaper would prove the means of delivering his boy back to him. t , Three policemen who had been seni out from the Ashtabula central sta tion saw Whitla leave the money in the park. They appraised Chief Los key of their discovery and receivec instructions to remain on "duty and capture the kidnapers should thej appear. ....... . In the meantime Whitla returned to the city and communicated with his -detectives in Cleveland. They ad vised him not to go to the hotel foi his boy a minute before the time set After five hours of anxious waiting, Whitla stated after his boy. As ha was on his way, a policeman inform ed him that three officers had been on guard in the immediate vicinity ot the park and that no one had called for the money. ' . 4 t i,. ..- Whitla was overcome when this news was broken to him. He went to the park and found his package of money undisturbed. ' A ' dettachment of detectives was sent out from Cleveland as soon as it was learned , that the Ashtabula police were working on the case. . The father refuses to sleep at all,' and keeps ; up through sheer will power. The mother, who will not al low her' daughter, Saline, out of Her sight, is showing the effects of the worry. Whitla returned to Celevland and after- a conference with Detective Perkins the return trip to Sharon was made. Hundreds of letters from all over the country continue to come mlt jof the( country continue to pour in from friends and strangers alike, tendering sympathy. But among all" the corres .pondence , there has been no word from the abductors, nor any one who seemed to be in any way in touch with them. : : - - THE CHILD IS RESTORED Requirefl ''' Ransom .

F11" lie Whitla, who has caused the police of the entire country endless worry since he was kidnapped from school in Sharon, Pai, last Thursday,; was re turned to his father at the Hollen den Hotel here Monday night at 8:30 o'clock. In compliance with an arrangement entered into between the kidnaped boy's father and an agent of the kid napers here Monday the - boy was placed on , a street , car on . the out skirts of the city and started to the hotel shortly after 8 o 'clock. ', Tw boys recognized the lad on the cai and taking him in charge, conducted him to his father, who was in wait ing. The moment the anxious parent heard that a strange boy was in the hotel he rushed across ' the lobby, grasped him in his arms and smoth ered his face with , kisses. Willie is in perfect health. He says'., that he has. been well treated and ever since his capture has been constantly indoors. . He believes he was taken from Sharon to Warren and thence to Kewcastle, Pa. It is his opinion, expressed in a happy school-boy way, that he was in Ash tabula on Saturday nigit at the time his father was to leave his $10,000 in Flat Iron Park. Whitla, senior, refused ,to state whether he had paid the ransom or not. He said tha; he received a let ter Monday from the kidnapers at his home in Sharon, saying ft at if he called at a confectionary 6tore in the oast end of Cleveland he would be told how to secure his boy "unharm ed and well fed." In Mortal Terror of Kidnapers. Shortly after noon he left Sharon for Celveland. He was unaccom panied. His immediate family and the private detectives he had in his employ he apprised of the proposed secret meeting, but insisted that he make the trip alone. Every one of them was warned that he must be allowed to go unheralded, and no at tempt at the capture of the kidnapers new be made. Whitla was certain that if he spoiled the plans of his son's captors he would never see the lad again. His experience at Ashta bula served as a warning. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon he went to a candy store in the east end. With him he carried the $10, 000, expecting that it would be de manded' of him there. He was met by a woman who detailed to him the terms of the kidnapers. With all the eagerness of a distracted parent Wliitla ajrreed to them immediately. Willie Unconscious of His Danger. In the meantime little Willie was being treated kindly and even at this time does not realize' what danger he was in. The woman at the candy store 'had done her duty. She com municated with the captors of the boy and told . them that the father had made no attempt to trap them. The bpy, was. brought from , his un known hiding place to a car line in the east end of the city , Part of Willie's Storyv "When we got to a town that the man called Newcastle, they took me to a big building and turned me over to a woman. She was good to me. The hospital, or whatever the build ing was, was a clean place. There wa-a man there who I think was a doctor. He looked like a doctor, be cause he had Whiskers, short grey whiskers. "The people in the hospital told me that I must do just what they tcjd me to do. If I did not obey them, they said they would take me to a place called the pest house, where folks that have smallpox have to go. I walked the chalk line just like .a good boy, papa, like you've told me to. "They told me I was -taking a little vacation. I was not going to be hurt, they told me, so I just acted nice and had a good time playing around the hospital. I knew I would get back home all right and just supposed Mr. Jonse was one of my friends who was treating me nice because you wanted him to treat me that way, papa dear." Before retiring for the night, Mr. Whitla admitted that he. had paid $10,000 to the- woman in the candy store." Off For Africa. New York, Special.

Cooper when the court opened Saturday. The jury Fri day acquitted John D. Sharp, indicted with the Coopers for the slaying of former U. S. Senator Edward W. Car mack. Rush to Sign Bond. Although Judge Hart fixed the bond at $25,000 there was a rush ' to sign it on the part of wealthy citizens of Nashville which; fairly swamped the clerk of the criminal court. - The first to arrive was John J. Greener, who signed for $10,00 on each bond. Several others had been sent , for and telephoned that they would come as quickly as automobiles would bring them. In a few moments Walter O. Parmer arrived and signed for the balance. "I will sign for a million for these men'," be remarked. In vain the clerk protested over and over again that more than enough sureties had signed but the invariable answer was "We want to put 'our name on that bond too." It seemed as though every friend of the Coopers considered it incumbent upon him to sign the bond.- When there was no more room for names at the foot of the document the new bondsment en dorsed across the face until it was difficult to decipher the signatures. When, filed the bond totaled nearly a million and a half. The Jury's Verdict. At 9 :25 the 12 ' men entered the room and took the same seats they had occupied for nearly 9 weeks. "Have j'ou agreed upon a verdict, gentlementf" said Judge Hart. "We have," replied Foreman E. M. Burke hoarsely. ' 'Advance, Mr. Foreman, and read the verdict." "We, the jury, find the defendants Duncan B. Cooper and Robin J.

"So say you all, gentlementf" "So say we all," in chorus. "I thank you, gentlement," said the court, "for your patience and de votiton to the State, and dismiss you to your homes and to your personal vocations. The jurors were tired-looking and disheveled, but with the conclusion of this remark the entire 12 sprang from their seats as one man and hur riedly left the court room.
