1,400 ITALIANS FLEE TO SICILY
TAOItMINA. Sicily. FeFb. 13. Correspondence of The Associated Press. Fourteen hundred refugees from the country north of the Piave have found
shelter in this old Sicilian mountain town, described by some Americans as the most beautiful place in the world. The hotels which cared for tourists before the war have been thrown open to the refugees. They have rooms generally by families, and club together for their meals in much the same way that Italian immigrants make shift on the emigrant steamers. . English and American residents joined with the townspeople In providing clothing. The two problems are focd and employment, and repre-
i sentatives of the American Red Cross
who visited here left a fund with the local war committer to purchase wool and pay the refugee women for knitting warm socks and gloves for Italian soldiers. x Five hundred refugees arrived at midnight at the Giardini station two and a half miles below on the coast line railroad, in the midst of a torrential downpour. The feeblest and eldest were brought up in carriages, nun dreds climbed the steep footpath in utter darkness and in fear of the eerie height to which they were taken. A very few hd bundles of simple flothin."?. the majority only the clothes
they were standing in. Some had es-J
caped in the night barely clothed. Many had walked continuously for five days and nights before reaching the train which took eight weary days and nights to bring them here. It was so packed that many stood up the entire distance. Two little children succumbed to the hardship on the journey. Many of the families have missing members. Before reaching their trains they endured almost cloudbursts of ratn. the difficult crossing of swollen streams and sodden plains, with ever the horror of the pursuing Austrian8. During this time families became separated, children lost their parents and the few little treasures from
their homes were gradually dropped aside to make easier their hurried journeying.
Pays Car Fare He Failed to Pay Six Years Ago
i m EVANSVILLE. Ind.. Feb. 13,Tlie old story about a man's conscience giving him no rest was repeated in a letter written from Pasaden. Cal., by an unidentified man to Frank Haas, manager of the Public Utilities Company. The man cheated the street car company out of a fare fix rears ago, and the "crime" evidently weighed heavily on his conscience, as he Inclosed 10 cents, with the following letter: "Six years ago I rode on one of your street cars and did not pay my fare. The Lord saved me and He told me to send you the money, so you will find 10 cents inclosed." "The fare in EvansvJlIe is only a nickel," said Mr. Haas. "Did this fellow get by twice without paying or is the extra nickel interest?" Mr. Haas will give the dime to charity.

COLUMBUS, Ind.. Feb. 13. Almost anybody can tell the story of the first robin. However, the first fly Is a different proposition. The first fly of 191S has been seen in Columbus. It has been seen by a truthful newspaper man, who admits his own truthfulness. Moreover, he was a witness at the fly's execution. With his little eye he saw him die. The newspaper man was hiirring back to his office, having been home to partake of corn bread and other corn products. At the corner of Sixth street, and Tafay-
ette avenue, something eame buzzing J
through the air and alighted on the walk. It was a fly. The fly fell into some rather cool melting snow and shivered. The newspaper man rescued the fly and gave it some nice sunshiny cement as a drying place. Along came H. C. Deist, teacher of mathematics in Columbus high school. Being of a mathematical turn of mind he began to figure how many children, grandchildren and so on that fly would have before the summer Is finished. However, there will he no children, because Mr. Deist stepped on the fly.
To him goes the honor of killing the first 191 S fly in Columbus.
