A Few OF the Carreat Gevaaa Words That
the Doeiie Native kae~s Well

A German newspaper correspondent, inst
back from German East Africa, gives an inter-
esting illustration OF the gentle course OF i'm
perlal civilization in that colony. In Dar.es-sa-
laam one day he met some small negro boys as
they were going home from school. lie stopped
them by scattering few copper coins In their
way and then proceeded to examine thsm as TO
the amount Of German they had learned. The
examination In part WAS AS follows:
Q.-Tell mo n good German word. A. from
dozen tongues)--Good morning.
Q.-That Ia good: now can you give me An.

Q.-But Is that n good word2
Dead silence followed the inquiry.
Giant you toll mo three or four good

Q.-Bravo! Now will you try again?
Dead silence. broken eventually by the fall of
mole coppers on tho sand and n scramble after
which the question was repeated, with this re-
suit:
A.-Forbldden; police: hold your law.
Q,-Can't somebody tell me Just one word

ITALY A GOOD MARKET.

Consul Blamcs American Business
Men for Lack of Enterprise.
Consul-General Hector de Castro, at
Rome, in a report to the state depart
ment says that if business men of the
United States would give the same at
tention to Italy which they do to other
countries they could largely increase
their trade.
He says there were no bidders at the
auction for furnishing American to-
bacco to the governmen mt monopoly. and
the minister of finance sent a repre-
sentative to New York for the purpose
of purchasing tobacco direct in various
markets. It seems that besides OBJ
tanning leaf of excellent quality. the
government has by this means econo-
mized to the extent of 1921. $50.
The consul general also says that
according to the latest news received
at the Office of the ministry of agricul-
ture of Italy. the wheat harvest this
year has been estimated at s6.s36. TOO
bushels. or about 60 per cent. of last
years production.

HARPER NEEDS MONEY.
Funds Needed for Another DOrmitOry
at Chicago University.

President Harper, of the University
of Chicago, is looking for some one
with about 100000, who will build an
other dormitory for the use of the Mid
WAY 'coeds." The present women's
hnlls-selly. Bcecher and Foster--have
for some time been inadequate to sup
nly the demand for rooms which the
constanily-ircrcasing number of wom-
en- students has created. so that many of
the new "cocds" have been obliged to
secure rooms in private houses. This
condition of affairs is not approved by
the authorities. nor is it acceptable to
the parents of some of the young
women.
At a meeting of the trustees the other
days plans drawn up by Henry Ives
Cobb were considered. and it was de-
cided that another dormitory should be
built between Rcechcr and Kelly halls,
facing Lexington avenue. and costing
approximately $4,000. 1t was de-
cided that the authorities should go on
still hunt for some one with capital
and sufficient generosity to build the
"coetls" another hall.

BIOGRAPHY OF VICTORIA.

Prepared Under the Immediate Su.
pervisiOn of Her Majesty.
A new biography of Queen Victoria
written by Richard r. Holmes, +. S. A.,
the queens librarian at Windsor, has
appeared and is attracting much
attention. 1t was prepared un-
der the immediate supervision of her
majesty, abounds in family incidents,
shows the queen to have never entirely
abandoned the relations of her earlier
years, and points out that within the
past IS years she has sung with Tosti
and has taken drawing lessons from
Leitch. The biography gives among
other matters an extract from her ma
jcsty's journal in 1855 describing her pill.
grimage to the Invalides during her
state visit to Paris. 1t reads: "I stood
at the arm of Napoleon Ill. his nephew,
before the coffin of England's bitterest
foe. I, the granddaughter of that king
who hated him most and who most vig-
orously opposed him and this very
nephew who bears his name being my
nearest and dearest ally. the organ of
the church playing God Save the
Queen at the time. Strange and won
derful indeed. 1t seems as If in this
tribute of respect to departed dead
foe, old enmities and rivalries were
wiped out and the seal of Heaven placed
upon that bond of unity which is now
happily established between two great
and powerful nations. May Heaven
bless and prosper it,"

WIDOW GETS HER MONEY
Finding of an Old Hat Secures q
Fortune for Montana Woman.
Record Of a Marriage Was Made on
the Lining of q Hat of n Wilkes
barre (Pa.) Alderman and
Then Forgotten.

A silk hat, crushed and battered by
rejoicing democrats the night of No
vember Z, 1884, when Grover Cleveland
was first elected president, has just
proved the means of giving to u de-
spairing widow q snug fortune and
proving that she was married legally.
The hat is the property of Alderman
Eonohue, of Wilkesbarre, Pa. Donohuc
was one of the most enthusiastic of
Cleveland's supporters during his first
presidential campaign and he bet
heavily and worked hard for him. Elec-
ton day, in 1884, Donohue won silk
hat on the big Cleveland vote polled in
bis ward, and, donning the hat, he watt
ed for the returns from other places.
Cleveland majorities came piling in, the
alderman celebrating each bulletin in
the approved manner.
Amidst the glnd news Donohue was
summoned hastily to the Bristol hotel
to marry George Baunds and Miss Mary
Rogers. Eager to get back to the bull
letin boards, he galloped through the
ceremony, kissed the bride, and, having
no paper, hastily made n note of the
marriage in the white silk lining of his
new hat. promising to send a marriage
certificate to the happy couple the next
day.
Among the incidents of that night of
which the squire has no clear recollec-
tion must have been n heated argu-
ment. When he arrived home in the
morning the hat looked very much as
if it had been through football game,
and Mrs. Donohue slowed it away in the
depths of a dark closet. Donohue a
year ago received a letter from Mrs.
George Baunds. of Montana, stating
that her husband had been killed on the
railroad, where he was employed as a
brakeman, and that before she could
get the amount of the insurance car
ried by her husband in a lodge she must
produce her marriage certificate. She
asked Donohue to forward the long
delayed paper.
The alderman examined his books
and found no record of any such mar
riage and replied to that effect. Then
Mrs. Baunds came on here and recalled
the circumstances of the case, but Dom
ohue could remember nothing except
that Cleveland was elected. The widow
returned to Montana in despair.
Mrs. Donohue, about six weeks ago
in cleaning house, ransacked closet
and discovered an old and battered silk
hat-the same one put away there
13 years before. She busted it and
accidentally saw the writing on the
lining, legible and distinct. Then the
alderman remembered and the next
day the hat and a marriage certificate
sped westward.
Donohue has just received a letter
from the grateful Mrs. Baunds, saying
that the court had accepted the evi.
dence of that hat and had decided In
her favor.

A LOST WORLD.

used to live In a better world,
A long, long ways from here.
Where the skies were blue and our hearfa
were true,
And the days were filled with cheer.
There song and shine gave me and mine
A marvellous round of Joys.
For the moments brought their gifts un-
bought
In that world that was made for boys.
The long, long days were golden days,
And our hearts beat warm and high.
For eye and ear could see and hear
The charm of earth and sky.
We loitered long by the brook sweet song.
And we drank at the springs of Truth
In that land of joys that was made for
boys
The wonderful realms of youth.
I long to dwell in that world once more,
Where the happiest blessings fall;
But lost 1t when. for the world of men,
traded 1t, once for ALL
long to stray through q grass-grown way
To the boundless fields of JOY,
And give my gold and world grown cold
For the heart of a careless boy.
