When I opened my bag in another town I found he had obeyed me. The Bible belonging to the hotel was rolled up in my pajamas. One night I left a call t<i> be awakened at seven the next mprnlng. It was the only train leaving in the forenoon, and I simply had to take it. Os course I ordered breakfast and I was down on the minute.

Boy Scouts as Fire Patrol. The boy scout business has been given a great boom in this state by the mantiness of the boy scouts who Acted as patrols at Bangor when their aid was needed during and after the fire, and incidentally the need °f itary drill in the schools is emphasized. One enthusiast after witnessing the work at Bangor of the boy scouts advocates compulspry military drill in the high schools of the state. —From the Kennebec Journal. ! —— H Expanded the Idea. “You must fletcherize, Mabel, and then you will be healthy.” So little Mabel fletcherized as long .as her mother was looking and did •very well for one of her years.

UPLIFT OF CIOCIARE

Wealthy Italian Women Unite to Aid Models. Spanish Stairs, Where Natives Waited for Passing Artist, Must Go— Will Be Taught to Read, Write and Sew. Rome.: —The world’s fair in this city this summer will induce a multitude 3f people to visit Rome who have never beheld its glories, and it will also be a stimulus for other tourists to revisit the scenes of their farmer travels. 5 Whether they be artists of laymen, If they have ever spent any length of time in Rome one of the most vivid impressions they retain must be the Spanish stairs and the groups of gayly dressed models or ciociare, as they are called, who, when not engaged by any artist, make this, spot a rendezvous. Here they would congregate, some chatting; others droning in an undertone their weird folk songs, all leisurely waiting for the appearance of a passing artist wholmight be in search of a subject for his picture. The Spanish stairs was the bureau of engagement for the ciociare. But all this is to pass. A number of women, headed by the Princess Ruspoli, Baroness Lombardo del Giudice, and the Marquise de Targinani Herman, have decided that the care-free ciociare must be instructed, when not posing, in the practical things of life, that this open-air retreat w r as pernicious to good morals and right living, and in consequence they have formed a benevolent society to undertake the problem of teaching them the rudiments of learning—for not one of them can read or write —and instruct them in sewing. Numerous Inducements are held out to attract the indolent ciociare to the schorl. If she works two consecutive hours in the morning the reward for diligence entitles her to a midday luncheon at the expense of the society. Then, after she has been taught to make different articles of clothing, the material for which has been given to her, she is allowed to keep the finished garment, or else she is paid for her labor. Princess Ruspoli and the other members of the committee personally superintend this big work, and all their energies are directed toward making it a permanent success.

JAP WOULD LAUGH AT HOBBLE

Swedish Envoy to Japan and China, on Way From Orient, Talks of Women’s New Dress. Chicago.—“l believe the Japanese women, who are considered the most sensibly dressed of any women in the world, would laugh at the American hobble skirt.” Gustav O. Wallenberg, Swedish minister to Japan and China, in Chicago the other day on his way to his native country, made that statement. Mr. Wallenberg reserved his personal opinion on the harem, hobble and other fashions that greeted him here after an absence of several years since his last visit in the United States. “I ain immensely pleased with everything and everybody here," he said. “I was never happier than when I caught sight of Uncle Sam’s country once more, and will say for Chicago that it is wonderful —wonderful. The city becomes greater every year.” Mr. Wallenberg said Chicagoans are holding their own in the trade in the orient. "Americans seem to be on the ground floor in the industrial outlook In the far east.” be said.

The ciociare, or children of the field, as they are napied, are never seen outside of southern Italy, for they never migrate. The sobriquet of ciociare came frpm their sandals, which are called “ciccie,” a name finally given to the section from where they come—between Naples and Rome. The dress of one differs from that of another in color only. Each wears the velvet bodice mellowed by age, the bright silk shawl draped over a white cotton blouse, the voluminous skirt, and the fancy apron with its elaborate wool embroidery. The young boys are equally picturesque in their knee trousers of blue or red velveteen, short jackets of the same stuff, a soft felt hat sjet coquettishly on one side of the heaii, protecting the long mass of blue-black hair. Even the old men, with green or purple clothes and long cape cloaks, keep up the illusion of living old masters. In days of compulsory education one can hardly realize the ignorance that exists among these ravishingly beautiful ciociare. Many of the fairly intelligent people in Italy cannot read nor Write, so that a lack of even a smattering of book knowledge is not a matter of surprise, but the ciociare’s intellectual horizon does not extend farther than that of an American child of three. They seem to live from day to day, like birds of the air, careless and unhampered, with no thought of the morrow.

PUPIL TALLER THAN TEACHER

Arrested by Truant Officer Fifteen-Year-Old Miss Declares She Could Spank Instructor. New York. —Rather than face the teasing Schoolmates z who are two feet or more shorter than she, fifteen-year-old Molly Vogel braved the anger of her parents, defied the power of the truant officer and stayed away from school. She was arraigned in the Gates avenue court, Brooklyn, before Magistrate O’Reilly on complaint of Mary Brennan, attending officer. When Mrs. Vogel was asked by the magistrate if her daughter was in court she replied! “Yes, she is back there.” O’Reilly, looking toward the rear of the Room, saw two girls seated. One seemed to be about twelve years old. the other fully twenty. The magistrate expected to see

NUDE MAN HIDES IN A TREE Pennsylvanian Is Stripped of Every Stitch of Clothing by Tramps and Assailed by Bees. Philadelphia.—Accosted by tramps in a small strip of woods in Germantown, Thomas Jones of Frankford was robbed of every particle of clothing he wore and left in the woods by the vagrants, who escaped. Jones, not knowing any of the neighbors and living at a distance from the scene of the robbery, climbed into a tree to wait for some chance passer-by. He remained in the tree all day, suffering greatly from cold, fatigue and and hufiger, besides being tortured by a swarm of bees which had- built a hive tn a dead limb. After dark Jones descended from his perch and covering himself as best he could with weeds went to a neighboring truck farm, where he-ob-tained clothes and food.

TEXAN NOT AFRAID OF BEES Charles Potchenick Appears to Have Unusual Control Over Busy Little Honey Gatherers. San Antonio, Tex. —Charles Potchenick, employed by the Maverick apiaries near this city, appears to have unusual control over bees. He handles them with as much apparent ease as one would in playing with kittens or a harmless pet. He is used to their ways and appears absolutely oblivious to the fact that they can sting. . While working with them he goes bare-armed and bare faced and pays no attention to the insects as they crawl over his exposed hands and arms or pile up in great clumps on his face. » Recently he had a picture taken holding a small limb in his teeth on which a swarm had settled. The bees formed a kind of long beard hanging below his waist and his entire face was covered with those that crawled from the limb. Old beekeepers say that his feats in handling bees are the remarkable in the world. He claims he has not been stung in two years. Will Bottle Up Wind. St. Louis.—Peter Homishak has invented a machine to conserve wind power and three other men have joined with him to put it on the market in St. Louis. They propose to build a factory in St. Louis, where they think the, supply of wind is practically inexhaustible.

the little one rise at the call of “Molly Vogel!” He gasped when the bigger one stepped out in the aisle. Molly would have no difficulty in passing as an adult. Besides being tall she is decidedly plump. “Judge, if you had to stay in a classroom and you the biggest girl in the school, what would you do?” pleaded Molly. O’Reilly shook his head, as if to say he had never contemplated facing such a situation personally. “How can I learn when I know I’m a foot taller than my teacher and a half foot taller than the principal?” wailed Molly. “One of my teachers, ■ man, is so small I could spank him. And anyway, judge, I thought I’d been to school for the 120 days I had to go. But they say I must go for thirty-five days more." Magistrate O’Reilly shook his head sadly, but decided the best way would be for the girl to go to school for the remaining days of compulsory attendance. Sues Slayer of Skunks. Buffalo, N. Y—James L. Doty, for mer coroner of Erie county, but now a trapper, is being sued by his wife for divorce on the ground that he smells from the skunks he kills. She is seventy-three and he is seventyfour. They were married in 1909 Doty is the woman’s seventh husband.

Could I get a glass of honey for the children ?” “Er—l’m afraid not, ma’am; but we have some excellent near-honey.” The housewife sighed. “Dear me!” she said reproachfully. “You should be ashame-” to sell so many adulterated foods!

The burglar, having pocketed all the lapse jewelry in sight, which was not much, roughly awoke the sleepers. “I want them diamond arbobs o’ rousi, ma’am,” he said. “Please don’t tear them out of her bars,” begged the husband: “I’ll de tach them and hand them to you myself.” “All right, sir. Quick, now!” Subsequently the burglar learned that he had robbed the dwelling of Professor Presto, the magician, and that the professor had cleverly substituted a pair of glass imitations for the diamond earbobs.” " Appropriate Garments. There . are times when the pun, mimh abused and poverty-stricken and ageci as it generally Is seems to justify its appearance. One day, wben Mr. Potter was trying to read a romance story to his matter-of-fact wife, he had recourse to a pun to save his temper. “And so the evening wore on,” read Mr. Potter, “and ” “What did it wear?” inquired his wife in her dryest tone. “My dear,” said Mr. Potter, after a scarcely perceptible hesitation, “if vou must know, it was the close of n autumn day.”—Youth’s Companion.

DOCTOR PRESCRIBES CUTICURA REMEDIES — “I wish to let you know of a couple of recent cures which I have made by the use of the Cuticura Remedies. Last August, Mr. of this city came. to my office, troubled with a severe skin eruption. It was dermatitis in its worst form. It started with a slight eruption and would affect most parts of his body, thighs, elbows, chest, back and abdomen —and would terminate in little pustules. The itching and burning was dreadful and he would/almoSit tear his skin apart, trying to get relief. I recommended all the various treatments I could think of and he spent about fifteen dollars on prescriptions, but nothing seemed to help him. “In the meantime my wife, who was continually suffering with a slight skin trouble and who had been trying different prescriptions and methods with my assistance, told toe she was going to get some of the Cuticura Remedies and give them a fair trial. But as I did not know much about Cuticura at that time I was dotrbtfui whether it would help her. Her skin would thicken, break and" mpecially on the fingers, wrists and awns. I could do nothing to relieve her permanently. When she first applied the warm baths of Cuticura Soap and applications of Cuticura Ointment she saw a decided improvement and in a few days she completely cured. “I lost no time in Recommending the Cuticura Remedies to Mr. , and this was two months ago. I told him to wash with warm baths of the Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuticura 1 Ointment generously. Believe me. from the very first day’s use of the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly relieved and today he is completely cured through their use. I have great faith in the Cuticnra Remedies and shall always have a good word for them now that I am convinced of their wonderful merits." (Signed) B. L. Whitehead. M. D..
