series?will appear in this paper. Each
picture was drawn to represent the
title of a book, and each picture repre
sents one book title and only one.
But the contest rules permit each
contestant to make as many as ten
different answers to each picture, if
ho so desires. It is stipulated, how
ever, that each answer submitted in
this contest must be submitted on a
separate picture and coupon. If you
make four answers to picture Xo. 19,
for Instance, you must secure four
copies of picture Xo. 19, and submit j
each answer on a separate picture and
coupon.
There is, however, a way to submit
several answers to each picture, If
you desire, and yet require only one
I copy of each picture. You can dv> this
! if you have an answer bonk. This
! book contains seventy-seven double
1 pages. On the top sections of the
| seventy-seven papes you paste tho
j seventy-seven pictures. On the hot
| torn sections you write down your
answer or answers to each picture.
With an answer book, then, you may
make tho limit of ten different answers
! to each picture (770 answers in alH,
j and yet need only one copy of each
j picture. If you made ten answers to
each picture, and did not have an
j answer book, you would have to ee- j
j cure 770 pictures, with their coupons,
on which to submit these answers.
In two more days the answer book
will be offered to contestants. It is
neat, compact, easily carried around.
If you have an answer book you are
through, forever, with any necessity
of pursuing scattered pictures and cou
pons around the house. With the pic
tures safely and neatly pasted in the j
answer book nothing can happen to t
them.
But the chief merit of the answer '
book lies In the fact thai It requires j
you to get only one copy of each pic
j turo, oven though you make as many
as ten different answers to each pic
ture.
If you w\nnt to start playing this
j contest game now. get the back pic
tures free. To-day picture No. 23 la
] published. Well, you can pet all tho
I pictures that have been published thus
i far, free, with a catalogue.
j The catalogue !s a lis'! of R.000 book
I titles, arransed In alphabetical ordor.
The seventy-seven book titles to be
represented by tho sevontv-soven pic
tures wore, first of all, selected from
this list of 5,i>00 titles. In other words,
all the seventy-seven correct titles are
contnlned In the catalogue, or. to put
it another way, seventy-seven of the
R.OOd titles are guaranteed to b<i tho
seventy-seven book titles that tho sev
enty-soven pictures represent.
The catalogue costs 35 cents, or 40
cents by mail. With each catalopuo
you aro given, free, seven certificates,
each of which is good for a certain
fivo of the first thirty-five pictures.
All the seven certificates together are
good for the first thirty-five pictures.
But to date only the first four cer
tificates, which are good for tho first
twenty pictxtres, are redeemable. After
picture Xo. 25 has appeared certificate
Xo. R will become redeemable for the
pictures from twenty-one to twenty
five, Inclusive. And so for the sixth
certificate, which will become redeem
able for pictures twenty-six and thirty,
and certificate Xo. 7. which will bo
good for pictures 31 to 35.
CHANGE IS RADICAL
IN FOREIGN POLICY
I
! Court Influences at Bucharest No
Longer Dominate Rou
manian Government.
BV I,A MAIUIUISI3 IJ IS FOXTKX O V.
COURT Influences at Bucharest hnvn
ceased to dominate tho foreign
. policy of Roumania, which until
I tho other day was so pronouncedly
i Austrophlle as to convince everybody
; that King Charles wan an ally of Em
i peror Francis Joseph, and an addltion
| al membor of tho so-called trlplo al
j liance. Popular sentiment, voiced by
| the national legislature and by tho
' Cabinet, has secured tho mastery, and
has forced Its views upon tho King and
| his court. They aro views which are
i distinctly hostilo to Austria, and as
| this radical change of the foreign policy
| of Roumania cannot fall to have a very
I important effect upon tho futuro course
of events In tho southeast of Europe,
it is well to tnlio note thereof.
To begin with, tho Roumanian gov
ernment .has taken no account whatso
ever of tho protests of Emperor Francis
j Joseph against Hie humiliating terms
I imposed upon King Ferdinand by tho
j treaty of Bucharest. Tho Intervention
; of tho Emperor In behalf of Ferdinand
has been tho subject of much ofliclal
and popular resentment in Bucharest,
and has served as a pretext for tho
denunciation of tho oppression and al
| leged persecution to which tho 3,000,000
or 4,000,000 Roumanians In the Hun
garian province of Transylvania aro
I subjected by tho Emperor's Magyar
j government.
To show Its Indifference to the fcel
j ings of tho dual etnp\ru, tho Roumanian
| government has Just added to Its army
three regiments of Infantry recruited
I from Roumanians in Transylvania?
' that is to say, of subjects of Emperor
(Francis Joseph who have been *eanod
j from their allegiance to him.
That Emperor William should have
given cncouraeement to Roumania In
; her new foreign policy, and should
! havo expressed his enthusiastic ap
] proval of the treaty of Bucharest, has
(created a most unpleasant impression
ut Vletina, where the relations with
' Berlin are Just now less friendly than
at any time since tho formation of tho
| triple alliance.

irig so strangely ever since tho 1st of I

! wide search was Instituted, without
! avail, by his family lawyers and by
1 his half-brothers, Frederick and Henry,
! suddenly turnod up last week In Geneva, I
Switzerland, as mysteriously as lie dis
i appeared. It remains to be seen wheth
er he will furnish any explanation of
, his disappearance. It is unlikely, for'
| ho is extremely reticent. It is quite J
posslblo thnt he has been in Jail all
the time, for, sixty-six years of a^o
j and a scholar, he is something of an
I anarchist, and has spent the last thirty
years wandering all over tho world, \
botanizing. translating Horace and
Moliere, writing violent pamphlets and
verses against Uio established order of

countries that he visited, and getting
into all sorts of trouble with various j
civilized governments.
Sir Walter Is an extraordinary char
acter, a brilliant man?in many senses

stipulations of its treaty and concordat
| with tho papacy. Tho latter has do
j cllned to recognize tho laws, and has
I threatened tho members of tho San I
Marino government with excommuni- j
| cation and tho entlro territory of the !
republic with pontifical ban and Inter- I
diet If any attempt Is made to enforco I
the spoliatory laws.
The fact of tho matter Is' that tho i
small republic is In financial difilcul- j
tios, having been deprived, by the pro- i
test of the Italian government of lte
principal sources of revenue, namely,
tho lottery, und tho salo of titles of
nobility and of orders of knighthood.
The salo of these titles wns, until a
few years ago, carried on openly, de- i
liberately and avowedly, tho dlgnltios j
on sale comprising everything from j
dukedoms and princedoms down to j
hereditary knighthoods and docora- !
tiotis. Sa'n Marino was the only gov- j
ernment to carry on this trade, with a !
fixed tariff rato for each title, and thero i
are a large number of individuals, In- I
eluding many Americans, hailing from j
tho northern and southern portion of j
this hemisphere, who aro parading |
arouni' with nobiliary honors obtained '
by means of purchase from the repub- '?
lie of San Marino.
Tho revenue thus obtained was very i
large, and a portion of it was devoted .
to tho maintenance of tho local hos- 1
pltal. homo for the destitute aged, and (
foundling asylum, tho inscription over ]
the gates being to the effect that It was j
| an offering of "human vanity to hu- I
j man weakness."
| According to tradition, tho republic '
was founded by Saint Marirnus during I
tho persecution of tho Christians under j
Emperor Diocletian. The monastery of
San Marino dates back to the seventh
century, and in the dungeons of tho
castle the famous impostor Cugllostro
breathed his last In 1795.

The Southern Railway Company was
ordered to pay a fine of $5 In the
Mayor's Court on Friday, following a
warrant issued by Chief of Police Boll,
charging cortain engineers of the line
with being a nuisance. Frequent com
plaints have been voiced by residents
in the vicinity of I^eo Street crossing
of the unnecessary whistling of loco
motives as they approach tho spot. The
time limit for a blast on an engine
whistle Is ten soconds, and a freight
engine, tho engineer of which blew
loud and long, was tho cause for tho
warrant.
