that his ambition to serve in the higher national body must wait.
Politics in these parlous times often does not follow logic and there will
be no occasion for surprise if he overturns precedent and contends for the
greater prize.
NEW CENSUS DIRECTOR
“Who is that plcasant-faced gentle
man?” asked a woman clerk at the
census bureau the other day at the
lunch hour, as the man inquired about
passed through a crowd of clerks
standing in the corridors.
"The new director,” answered the
veteran doorkeeper who marks tabs
on those who enter and leave the
building.
Yes. it was the new director, Will
iam Julius Harris of Cedartown, Ga.,
who, on July 1, succeded E. Dana
Durand as head of the census bureau.
Away down in Georgia they call
him "Bill,” and just as he endeared
himself to the folk of his own coun
try. so is he making friends by the
score since he has been at the cen
sus bureau. Friends, mind you,
■among the clerks, who heretofore
have been ruled by directors whose
iron hand held them in awe. "Bill”
controls them differently. He always
has a smile, good cheer, and consola-
tlon for them. And that probably is the reason why he is called “Bill.”
Directors have, in the days gone by, walked by clerks with but a cold
bow. Such recognition came only to a few who had been so fortunate as to
know him. But it is different with the new director. He has a smile and a
good word for all.
Born at Cedartown, Ga., forty-five years ago, Harris was educated first
in the public school of his home town. Then he went to the University of
Georgia at Athens. At Cedartown he is president of the Farmers a'nd Me
chanics’ bank. For two years he was vice-president of the Georgia Bankers’
association. At one time he was a member of the state senate, representing
Polk, Paulding and Haralson counties.

ciency and to pay small attention to their political affiliations. This policy
has been emphasized in a number of appointments, notably that of Hugh M.
Smith, a Republican, to be fish commissioner. The president and Secretary
Houston went about choosing a weather bureau chief in a very leisurely fash
ion, but with this policy in mind.
TO GOVERN PHILIPPINES
Representative Francis Burton Har
rison of New York has been selected
for governor general of the Philip
pines. Mr. Harrison was selected
after months of personal considera
tion by President Wilson in which
many applicants . were eliminated. At
least twice the appointment was con
sidered as good as made, but neither
of the men selected was Mr. Harrison.
The new governor general is a
Democrat, a native of New York city,
a lawyer by profession and has been
a representative in five congresses, his
first service being in the Fifty-eighth.
■ He enlisted as a private in the
Spanish war in the volunteers and was
a candidate for lieutenant governor of
New York in the campaign of 1904.
He was educated at Yale university
and the New York Law school.
Representative Harrison was
Strongly urged for the post by Oscar
W. Underwood, Democratic leader in
the house; Representative Palmer,
Senator Hughes of New Jersey and other prominent Democrats. Secretary
Garrison also concurred in the appointment.
A reorganization of the Philippine commission, however, is to be effected,
and some commissioners will be named within a few days.
Mr. Harrison was a member of the party which accompanied William H.
Taft as secretary of war on his trip to the Philippines, and he has bad several
conferences on Philippine matters from time to time with President Wilson.

For United States senator from

point follows the proposal, but this Is
one of the suggestions that have been

seemingly, not discouraged by many

It sounds well —and Governor Cox is

It has been insisted that to vindi

Professor Marvin has been in the
weather bureau service since he was
graduated from the Ohio State univer

himself especially to devising and per

accurate predictions. He is not a poli

ANOTHER ROYAL
PRINCE MAKES EVES
at an
AMERICAN GIRL
Ml i
NEW YORK.-—Who says that
American girls win hearts by
their money and not by theii
beauty? Whoever says so
speaks contrary to truth, for facts
prove that American charm can win
out even when Mammon has no power
to sway the balance. If any one
doubts this let him read the following
storv:
Not many months ago his imperial
majesty of Germany relegated his
sixth and youngest son to the solitude
of Egyptian lands, "for the benefit of
his health,” said the discreet. The
only indisposition from which his
royal highness suffered, however, was
his royal father's displeasure. And
that was incurred under circum
stances which proved not the prince s
iniquity but his good nature.
Prince Joachim is young and no
milksop. He had a friend who was
even less of a milksop. This friend,
In straitened circumstances, as the
story is told, secured the prince’s in
dorsement of a note for SIO,OOO,
which, however, lie was not able to
meet when the time fell due. The
result was that Prince Joachim left
the Strassburg university suddenly
last March and w-as sent into banish
ment which was intended to be pun
ishment for an indefinite period. But
the Fates, more kindly than the fa
ther, ordained otherwise.
Last Easter the principal of the
Willard school, Berlin, determined to
send the pupils on a vacation trip.
The girls were placed under the
charge of Dr. Luce, and Dr. Luce
chose Egypt as the scene of the visit.
Easter, 1913, came in March.
Prince Meets American Girl.
Among the pupils of the Willard
school was a young American girl
named Olive Huntington of Norwich,,
Conn. It happened that Dr. Luce’s
party met Prince Joachim and his
suite. In fact, they were very much
thrown together. The Fates began to
get less busy. All they had to do
now was sit and look on, for history
goes to indicate that with the advent
of a young lady from the U. S. A.,
entertaining the German prince would
be a matter of small difficulty.
Whoever reads with even cursory
interest the' annals of the kaiser's
sons will readily recall the names of
American girls who, at different pe
riods, caused no small heartburning
and anxiety in the imperial palace.
Yes, of course, you remember the
name of Deacon and the history of
the infatuation of no less a personage
than the crown prince himself, an in
fatuation so deep as to inspire terror
into the hearts of his royal parents.
Miss Deacon, however, allayed their
fears and earned the eternal gratitude
of the kaiser.
Other Charmers Involved.
But the end of b u troubles was not
yet, however. In 1912 rumor connect
ed the name of Miss Alma Orithwein
of St. Louis, Mo., with that of Prince
Adalbert, third and most often turned
down of the imperial family. They
were convalescing in the same sana
torium near Augsburg, Bavaria. The
rumor died and was no more heard
of. But America’s daughters were
yet to cross the path of the Emperor
William.
Next came Miss Mildred Devereux to
the German capital and shortly after
followed the surrender of Prince Joa
chim to her charms. But his royal high
ness was not mortally wounded in
this encounter, and his susceptibili
ties were not tested by any more
American beauties until his royal fa
ther sent him into exile and the Wil
lard school conspired with the Fates
to turn the exile into a pleasant va
cation in March of this year.
Olive Huntington is young —she is
not yet nineteen years old. She is
also petite and pretty. Dark, liquid
eyes gleam out of a face whose
creamy complexion is the envy of all
who behold her. Add to these points
a wealth of brown hair, an attractive
manner and a fund of wit. Then
place the owner of these charms in
a group of solid daughters of the
fatherland—a fatherland just then
frowning on an exiled son. Loyal
German as he was, Prince Joachim
can scarcely be blamed for preferring
the sparkling gem to its heavy set
ting. But Olive is more than beauti
ful. She is daring. Even royal
princes cannot overawe her, and this
particular royal prince had more than
one reason for delighting in her im
pertinent. tut witty comments on his
sedate countrymen.
Many Claims to Admiration.
But Olive had still further attrac
tions for the young exile. She dances
well, and Prince Joachim likes danc
ing. Moreover, she plays tennis, and
every cne knows the story of how
the kaiser’s third son lost his heart
and was likely to lose his rank for a
tennis player.
Then Olive is a sweet, kind-hearted
girl. Witness the fact that though
the major share of the attentions of
the young men of Norwich, Conn.,
has always fallen to her lot she has
never aroused the jealousy of her girl
friends. On the contrary, they are
numerous and sincere. Then, she is
accomplished. She can draw and
paint. But that is not all. German
girls may be as insistent as they
please in advancing their claim to
precedence in the world of house
keepers, but who ever heard of a
New Englander who would yield place
to them? Olive is true to the tra
ditions of the distaff side of her fam
ily. And Olive is a Huntington!—a
Channing-Huntington! If those names
do not at onqe inspire you with awe
look up the annals of the American
nobility and you will realize your own
shortcomings in the matter of history.
Besides,the Huntingtons were “some
body” even before the Mayflower car
ried them to these shores in 1633.
Joachim Has Talent.
But wbat of Prince Joachim? Had
he nothing to offer for the favor of
the young American girl?
Well, the daughters of the U. S. A.
are supposed to admire, above all,
men who are practical. Who could
be more so than a Hohenzollern?
This royal family does not rely on
mere rank. If a revolution should
upset the throne of their fathers to
morrow not one of the kaiser’s six
sons but could earn his living. Prince
Joachim might be a smith! But he
is much more likely to choose the
career of a musician, and he would
be np insignificant one, either. Only
last June a phantasy of his in E
minor was performed with marked
success at Carlsbad. Again, not many
years ago, there was talk of sending
him in for competition at the Olympic
games, for the prince is also an ath
lete. But why enumerate his various
claims to beauty’s regard? Suffice It
is to say that he inherits from his
ancestors those qualities, both physi
cal and mental, that helped them to
make a great kingdom out of a small
electorate and a consolidated empire
out of a host of struggling and squab
bling principalities. And who could
expect or deserve more?
Dan Cupid at Work.
Well, whether these young people
were attracted by each other's many
and estimable qualities is doubtful.
It Is much more probable that mis
chievous Dan Cupid was performing
one of his usual tricks and shooting
his arrows where he thought they
would be likely to cause most trouble.
This time, however, he was doomed
to disappointment, for there was no
trouble. No parents were distracted,
no boy and girl lovers heartbroken.
The kaiser did not need to play the
stern parent nor the kaiserin to lose
her sleep.
To be sure, Miss Olive Huntington
and her family would not be over
whelmed by the idea of an alliance
with even a -Hohenzollern, even if
such a question should arise. After
all, that family was only beginning
to be known In 1633. A century was
yet to elapse before they assumed
the rank of royalty. And even if
Uncle Sam confers no titles he never
theless has an aristocracy, and an ex
clusive one, too.
However, such problems did not
bother either the twenty-two-year-old
prince or his little Yankee friend.
They were the best of chums and
they enjoyed the Eastern vacation
very, very much. Rumor says they
were very sad at parting —and who
isn’t sad at the end of a good time?
However that may be, Prince Joa
chim returned to the fatherland
“much benefited in health." Miss
Olive Huntington returned to school
and is now about to revisit her na
tive country both heart whole and
fancy free. That the youth of Nor
wich, Conn., will be neither one nor
the other in a very short time, how
ever, is a matter of small doubt. But
they have a high standard to reach,
set as it is by a German prince.—*

TWO HIGH FAMILIES UNITED
Native Rulers of Indian States Sub
ject to British Rule Become Al
lied by Marriage.
Two of the most powerful native
ruling families of British India were
united when Princess Indira, only
daughter of the reigning maharajah
Goekwar of Baroda, was married in
London to Prince Jitendra, son of the
maharajah of Cooch-Behar, after a ro
mantic courtship.
The initial ceremony, which took
place In the strictest privacy, was
performed at the hotel where the
young bride had been staying,
and was accompanied by the
customary Hindu rites. Prior to the
marriage Princess Indira had been re
ceived in to the Brahamist faith, the
creed of the bridegroom. Subsequent
ly the forms of a civil marriage were
gone through at a registry office.
Intense Interest had been aroused
in the attachment of the couple,
whose wedding had first been fixed to
take place In India May 5, but was
suddenly called off. Immediately af
terward the bride and her parents
sailed from Bombay for England, and
were followed by Prince Pitendra.
It is understood that the gaekwar
finally yielded to the importunities of
his daughter and 'consented to the
marriage, at which, however, he was
not present.
The bridegroom created a sensation
by appearing at the hotel in his mag
nificent Indian robes of white silk,
heavily embroidered with gold.
The bride’s fa’ther and brother.
■Shrmial Jalsingrao, are both well
known in the United States, where
the latter studied at Harvard. Her
mother, the maharani, is a woman of
advanced ideas and is the author of
a book on the position of women in
India.
FORETELL COMING OF RAIN
Animal Weather Prophets Are Among
the Most Reliable of Which There
Is Any Record.
Cat’s fur Is full of electricity, and
before a thunderstorm a cat is always
extremely lively and playful, probably
on account of its electrical condition.
Before rain is expected, you will see a
cat assiduously washing its face.
Donkeys will bray loudly and con
tinuously at the approach of a storm.
If cows He down In the early morn
ing instead of feeding, or huddle to
gether with their tails to windward,
then there is rain about.
Like cats, the approach of a thun
derstorm makes cows extremely
frisky. They run up and down the
field and butt imaginary obstacles at
such times.
Sheep turn their heads to the wind
when the day is to be fine. But If
they graze with their tails to wind
ward it is a sure sign of rain, so ex
perienced shepherds say. Like cows,
too, they show an unusual liveliness
at the approach of a storm. Even the
sedate pig is watched by country
weather prophets, for it is always
uneasy when rain is coming.
Most birds are restless when a
change is expected. Rain is indicated
by guineafowls and peacocks squall
ing, by parrots whistling, and by
pigeons returning home unusually
early.
Royal Tattooing.
King George of England is tattooed.
When he was duke of York he had
some elaborate Japanese designs
pricked on his arms and chest and
personally he used to take great
pride in the excellence of these skin
pictures. But Queen Mary dislikes
tattooing, and it is because of her
pleadings that King George has just
cautioned the prince of Wales not to
walk in his father’s footsteps, as far
as tattooing is concerned. It is a cu
rious coincidence that the czar, who
bears such a resemblance to King
George that he may be described as
his "double," was tattoed with the
similar designs by the same artist
who tattoeed King George.
