WHAT LOVE ONCE DID.
1t Drove This Man from the FootliGhts to
n woodchopper's Shnnty.

Love made 4 reclusc Of {. man who is
now thrce-quartcra OF century old,
and who has avoided his fellows for
nearly thirty years. He calls himself
John Smith. and his hermitage is in the
mountci..s not far from ErvinS, Mass.,
says the Brandon Rumor.
lie was an actor and she was an
actress. They We're engaged, quarrcled.
and separated. The lovers mind be-
came unbalanced, and while yet in tho
prime of life he abandoned his pro
fcssion and sought the semi-solitudc
which has now grown to be habit
with him.
1t NAV be remarked that no one
knows his real name. That of John
Smith is an alias. and he frankly ac-
lsnowledges that he has taken every
prccaution TO conceal his identity lie
visits nobody. but during the past few
years many people have been to see
him. He is u sort of local fad and the
folks thcrcabouts almost lore him.
The old mans hair and beard are white
as snow. He delights to chat with
visitors, and on pleasant Sundays of
summer and autumn the grounds
around his little cottage are covered
with scores of teams and hundreds of
visitors.
For the time being the grounds are
converted into a picnic grove. and the
old man shares the hospitality of his
visitors, tells them quaint stories, and
in return they give him the remnants
OF their fcasts and little gratuities, and
purchase the photographs of himself
and his cats
In the winter the old man is q genuine
hermit, so far as human beings are con.
cerned, but in and around his cabin he
has no less than a dozen cats, to say
nothing of the wild cats that every lit
tie while are killed on the surrounding
hills, and he is as proud OF Jim Fisk
and Lady Ann" as ever 4 fond mother
was of her first-born twins.
The house which he occupies was for
mcrly woodchopper's shanty, and it is
little better now. The boards inside the
living room are covered with playbills
and pictorial printing.

tics OF imports from countries having de-

The department has been notified that

method of stating the values of imports.
Ihls is especially noticeable in returns of
Tree goods, as for example, coffee aud lu-
dla rubber coming from Brazil, and goods
SUBJECT to specific duty, such as wool com
ing from the Argentine Republic. At the
present time, in view of the fiuctuating
balance of trade, it is especially important
that statistics of imports aud exports
snail be prepared as accurately as possible.

Importers to declare. upon all entries of

ed coin or paper currency they shall re-

AN ITALIAN SOljABBl 2

ROME. June 24.-The chamber of depu-
ties was set in AN uproar today by long
statement from Premier GiOlitti concern
ing the necessity for reforming the bank
laws. The financial situation, said he,
has become critical and unless wholesome
remedial laws are passed at once the whole
country is likely to be shaken by IL finan-
ciai panic. A bank law was advocated by
the government as necessary to save the
country,s credit. If it should not be pass
ed the cabinet would resign.
The statement created disorder on the
lett as The premier proceeded The threat
of resignation was greeted with jeers and
derisive laughter from the Radicals.
After being interrupted twice the premier
shook his iis1 detiantly at the Radicals,
and said: You scoffers, you are ignorant
of the significance Of the word gentle
man A dozen Radicals were at once on
their feet, calling Signor Giolitti
"Cowardw 'Liar!" ''Slandererp'
For several minutes business was sus-
pended. SignOr GiolItJi remained stand
ing during the uproar and refused to ac-
cept a motion fog an adjournment. A
vote resulted IN the govern meut's favor
231 to 143-and the debate on the bank law
was continued.
