T IS the early bird that catches the worm—and: it is Naples - that usually first = catches the jtourist from the ' States; when he is fresh, when he is bulging—as the case may be sometimés—with the fat of many American dollars. Milan, to-be sure, snapping at the tourist from the north, displays to a much lesser degree a somewhat similar characteristic; but as the victim has already had his first. lesson—his fall having been broken, so to speak, by a moré or less gradual descent through France, with fits own army of ']‘pay-pay-pays,” there is/real 1y no comparison. v Having contemplated with rapture from aboard your ship the really magnificent harbor; the picturesque ships, their salls and rigging enveloped in rose-colored- vapors that have caught the rays of the sun; the not far-dis-tant Vesuvius bathed in resplendent morning mists; and forming a part of all this riot -of atmospheric glamor; everything around you suggesting the presence of life and human animation —and stirring something way down in the depths of you—you are suddenly and rudely awakened to the exigent realities of the situation, once you are on shore; having ignored a premonition in the naked boy diving for pennies in your wrapt admiraticn of his astonishing skill. : ‘ If you sre-a prospective traveler of the male persuasjon, not overburdened with money, take warning, leave your trunk behind, and if possible vour padded shoulders; they will both prove a drain on the purse. Be sure and take a Baedeker; it is indis pensable’~but do not flaunt it in public places: you aré recognized with out it, and to expose its red covers to the air is to throw out a challenge, which the street merchant, the shopkeeper, the restaurant man and the street gamin are not slow to accept. It is interpreted as a symbol, a proof of your being a stranger and green; & proof of your being able to'afford a Baedeker—and therefore other things; a proof also of your curiosity, and ‘hence suggesting your susceptibipity to “temptations. ' Y - You Arrive. - You are landed, at the recommendation of a friend, in one of those cyrious arched hallways, where the cabby, winking his left eye when you are not looking, passes' you on to the porter, who emerges from a little dark room. so dark that it is only after hearing voices within that you peer in and discern the paleness of a face here and there and begin to wonder how. people could live in the dark, like rats. and the sun shining in the styeet! While walting for the landlady you take a look about. You are on Via Vardgnes;and you look up and down the picturesque 'street, famous for Donizetti's residence here, and infamous for one of the "assassifations which figured in the recent Cammorra trials. Dirty, but pictureque! Unevenly stretches this thoroughfare of tall old tenements, down grade, -toward Piezza Ferdinando, where several streets converge, like the spokes of a wheel. On some of the larger:streets of Naples the sidewalks are large enough .to let two persons walk abreast, if they are lovers, but Via Vardones has no sidewalks at all. Where sidewalks should be women sit around and perform ‘their. household duties; some are shelling peas, others are washing clothes; a young mother is rebinding ‘her baby, who a moment. before lay in his crib as naked as a cherub. Here you see a pail lowered on a ¥ope from the fourth story; the hawkey fills it

' Cruelty to a Vacationist, That's what I call mean.” b “What?” | | ’ ' “I sent Brown a card from our sum'mer cottage, and to make him jealous I wrote on it that I was having fresh fish for dinder every day.” © “Well?” | diha | “He sent me one right back saying. that after receiving my card he went Into a barber shop for a shave, ate a porterhouse steak for dinner, and'before retiring took a nice cold bath in a porcelain tub, then mentioned incidentally that there were no flies in his bedroom, either.” . : A Simllar Tale. “Uncle, tell me about All Baba and the forty thieves.” M “I do not remember that story.

with vegetables, and then the pall sﬂoots up again; there in the distance you see a goat milked—at so much per glass—before the customer's very eyes; yonder is a cart full of snails: other edibles are in sight, and in your confused conscienceness the smells of these mingle with the well-nigh interminable cries of the venders, the chatter of women, the noisomeness of children. . ’ o At last, after a long wait, here is the landlady; a middle-aged, prematurely wrinkled @ woman, with very shrewd eyes, which examine you with a curious and careful scrutiny. You ascend with her laboriously up the wide stone stairs; made of lava, as we later discovered—to the fourth story, and, passing along a number- of curious long corridors which run- mostly around the areaway of the skylight, centered in the buildilng, we come upon a small door, presenting even a more exaggerated diminutive appearance because of the jamb that is surely at least two feet in depth. ~Your first feeling is that vou are about to enter a vault, an impression that is quickly dissipated once you enter¢the room, Which is very large and’ eéven more amazingly high. Other much larger doors are here, leading to other rooms, overhung heavily with curtains ‘and draperies, leading to the balcony overlooking two streets. )

- ~ You Haggle. . Then begins the haggling about the price; you'are expected, following the advice of the guidebooks, “to preserve outwardly a calm demeanor.” “Outwardly” should be in italics, for .certainly inside of you you are boiling. with rage as- you watch the volubie landlady gesticulating, expostulating, arguing, haranguing, waxing eloquent, putting * all. her facial muscles imto play, like fan emotional acrtess; amd - all’ of this to impress you with the fact that the room is cheap. at her price. You' are helpless against_the torrential outpour of words; allayou can do, not knowing the language, is to name your price and say “Basta!” It is an indispensable word, and means ;“»enough{" you must say it quickly, decisively, leaving no dcubt as to your meaning. Fhen shake your head and hedge away to the door—never fear. ;she won't let you go. You, effect a compromise, and immediately you pay her a deposit her face smiles like the sun after a storm. Then you are tai{eh in hand by the porter—oh, yes, that trunk! Drat that trunk! That night we returned to our apart. ment a trifle past midnight. The por ‘ter, sitting in his dark hole by dim candlelight, opened his eyes drowsily. We put into his hand 50 centesimi, a legalized exaction which Naples enforces upon strollers who turn in after 12 o’clock. Those long corridors had a sinister look by night, and this aspect of the place was increased by the dead silence and darkness of the large ‘house. Upon entering our room we fastened the door on its flimsy latch. ‘The feeble flicker of the candle in ‘that enormous room failed to shed }light in the corners, and the apart=ment assumed the forbidding character of some great underworld. We ex\amined suspiciously the large doors;, ‘there was no way of knowing wiether ‘they -were fastened or not, and from ‘behind them could be heard the regu--llar deep breathing of same one asleep. 'The huge mirrored wardrobe next fell } under our investigation, and that yield‘ed neither a live Cammorist, nqr the skeleton of a victim—but only a wom}axjx’s large hat. Thus reassured, we undressed, put out the light, and went to bed. _ ) L

;| THE DAIRY INDUSTRY = S EPITOMIZED. The National Dairy Show, having arranged for a permanent home in which to forward the Dairy Industry in all of-its branches, ¢nd recognizing the cow as the foundation of all things Dairy, {s undertaking to build.an annual Exposi‘tion‘ that will not alone prove to be a school for the farmer, but an advocate of the highest type for the more general and varied use of the products of the Dairy. To do . this successfully we must first have the attention and interest of the farmer_and dairyman; next the support of the many interests allied with and colldteral branches of the industry. {Vith this thought in mind, the man= agement of the National Dairy Show desires to report progress made for the ‘1912 show to .be held in Chicago, October 24 to November 2. We have assurances from the best breeders of the different breéds of cattle that they will be with us, @nd for purposes of Eompetition we have arranged a very complete classification, and by obtainIng the very -strongest talent "for judges, who wlill be selected with the :sole purpose in view lof making a rib‘bon at this great Natlonal Show an article, of supreme value, settlitg the questjion of show yard supremacy each. year after the herds have done battle in the fairs and shows in their respec” tive territories. We will make- this show yard the mart for highest type of selection and the place from where all mattcrs of breeding and fevL}ing will be demonstrated as a guide to the old-timer-and new beginner. Heres {s what we will have for you: Judges of National ana International repute to pass upon the cattle; a Govérnment exhibit in charge of experts that will display breeds with Tecord of test performance, the kind to own.and the kind not to own; the tect of feeds for results; the proper and improper methods of handling the products and marketing of same; civic sanitary and hygienic requirements will 'be {llustrated and explained by experts of National prominence.. We have prepared a splendid premium list for Dairy Products which will bring out & strong lot of contestanfs with milk and cream exhibits for horors; butter and cheese makers will enter their producis for supremaecy and everything that can be developed for the benéfit of the visitors in direct connection with the cow will be shown. . The Borden Milk people, at an enormous exﬁense, will give daily demonstrations of -the pasteurizing, cooling, bottling and distributing of milk. They will erect. in the show a plant equal In size to that used in a city branch. This must be helpful in allaying all agitation of the pure mitk question for ‘the city consumption. The Blue Valley Creamery will erect a plant in the show capable of making a ton of butter each day, showing the pasteurizing process and the cleanly, sanitary 'methods of a creamery. The Consumers Company will manufacture icq cream in a glass machine in full view ‘of the visitors, showing® the thorough1v healthful and sanitary manufacture of this now extensively used condiment. Demonstrators from domestic science schools and colleges will give exhibitions and distribute recipes covering the more general use of milk as a food. The TUniversal Cement Company will erect an educational silo exthibit of large proportions, S§So that ime,thogls‘. of preparation and care of ien,silage, as well as’ the construction of silos, may be thoroughly discussed - and understood. - There will be ex[’»hibits from the many machinery _houses, who will actively display and I explain every. new and modern device l to their better understanding, and, in fact, the ten-day period.of the show will have.crowded into it more of real value for the dairy industry than any | other show ever before held for such a purpose. Thé& man engaged in profducin‘g dairy products and the con- - sumer will get immeasurable benefit i by an attendance upen this entire de- | tail. working of all ‘that pertains to dalrying under one roof. )

Unusual Occurrence, Richard- Harding Davis, during his Atlantic City honeymon, said at a fish luncheon: “I confess that I am not pleased with the modern trend of fiction. The newest fiction leaves a bad .taste in the mouth. It is full of double entendre—like the parlor mald's remark. “A gentleman came down to breakfast one morning with blood&hot eyes. He drank eight glasses of ice water hurriedly, then he muttered hoarsely to the pretty parlor maid: . *“‘Tell me;, Adele, did I reach home last night very much under the weather? _ ‘ ’ “‘lndeed you did, sir,’ the maid replied. ‘Why, sir, you kissed the missis!” "—Washington Star. “To Reproduce Riot Scenes. — The recent riot at the Federal building, Los Angeles, will be reproduced at the trial of those arrested by motion picture films, and shown tc the jury on a screen. It will be the first time in the history of 'jurisprudence that such. evidence will have been introduced. While the riot was at its. height a moving-picture company, with the newest model machine, had an operator on the scene, and his films show the entire actions of those pergons who are charged with having caused disturbance. - A Booklet for Investcrs. .
