My wild life came to an end at last. An
epidemic of Influenza swept over the coun-

the most literal sense been my guardian
angel for SO many years. My surviving
children We're also swept away. Thus left

made life tolerable, determined to make a
last effort to reach my own people, and
leaving my mountain home, 1 set out for
the southwest. =, On this, however. as in all
my journeys, 7 was never able to take a
direct line. but had to go hither and thi.her

Many Londoners have heard about the
Italian district, which lies in the neighbor-
hood of Theobald's road and Hatton Car
den; and some with inquiring minds have
strolled up Leather lane and watched the
Italian ice cream vendors and fortune tell
ing women with pretty love birds, inter
mingled with the dirty, noisy, street hawk
ers, common to all London slums. 1t is
amusing to watch the old padri making
purchases of meat and vegetables for the
Sundays dinner. or young francesca and

to learn how these Italians crowd together

Pie Becoming Extinct,

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Pie is becoming extinct In the better
hotels and restaurants it occupies a less
and less conspicuous place on the bill of
fare, and very often is not even mentioned
in any one of its infinite varieties In pri-
vate homes, too, the pie-eating habit is dis
tinctly on the wane, and its place at des-
sert is taken by puddings, custards and
ices.
The lunch counter is really the only place
in which pie holds its old-time position and
forms the GROWING bite of hasty lunch
The millionaire and the callow office boy
We're always most given to the pie habit
and many of them are still faithful to the
standard cuts, but the great majority have
given up allegiance to the dyspeptic dainty
Yes, pie is going out of date" an old
restaurant man said regretfuily. Time
was When six kinds of pie We're not consid-
cred too much for one days bill of fare
varieties per day. What causes This de-
cline of pie?
We'll, that is a hard question to an
swer, but | think the great cutlery about its
unhealthfulness has had good deal to do
with it. For years the doctors and the pa
pers have been telling Americans that they
were becoming race of dySpeptics because
they loved pie, not wisely, but too we'll
The New Englanders and New Workers
We're wont to think no meal was complete
without pie, and they used to tell a story
of an old man, who, when he was dying
said that he felt proud to say that he had
been married for fifty years, and had never
sat down to Il meal without pie"
Other hotel and restaurant keepers of the
better class confirmed the statement that
pie has lost its prestige a favorite des-
sert. Some believed that the wide range of
delicate dessert dishes now known to even
the most ordinary cooks was responsible
for its decline, but the larger number said
that so little pie was really good, and it
had gained such bad name as a promoter
of dyspepsia and stomach troubles that it
had lost its popularity because people had
grown afraid to eat it.

DUTCH WEDDING AN ORDEAL.

other Curious Customs of This Inter-
estinE Country.
From the London Globe.
A Dutch wedding is portentous bust
ness. Smart Holland does Its devotions in
barn1fke French Protestant churches. The
wedding service is mournful to a degree,
and lasts two hours. The bridegroom, in
full evening dress, and the bride. in ortho-
dox white satin, sit upon chairs in front of
the black-robed minister. He delivers an
extempore address fairly bristling with
personalities. Meanwhile relatives sob in
pews, until finally every one who can prove
the remotest connection with the bride
kisses her.
Next follows a tremendous breakfast in
French style. 1t Is "ds rigueur' for all the
friends of the bride to send her in the
morning a bouquet or basket of white flow
ers plentifully ribboned. With numbers of
these very gay effect is produced, though

this very ordinary ceremonial. Ladies and
gentlemen must alike rise from their seats
and, solemnly filing up to the person toast

a score of speeches the thing gets mo-

end. Any person omitted would feel ag-

Umpire In the Wrong Place.

"That habit of the umpires in tax
ing up their position behind the pitcher
when one or more of the bases are occu-
pied should IL cut OUT" says Tom
Brown. at is utterly impossible for
the umpire to get correct and accu-
rate line Oh balls and strikes from be-
hind the pitcher, and the inaccuracy
that arises gives birth to many kicks
that would never come up if the indi-
Gator handler remained behind the bat.
How, for instance, is he going to get a
correct eye on the ball when it is stalled
off the bat along the foul lines and
close to the foul boundaries? l have
seen wrong decisions given repeatedly
this season on balls that were hit close
to tbs lines The umpire argues that he
stands III the middle of the diamond, so
that he can place himself for the plays
ON the bases. But if he stands where he
belongs, at the back stop, he can run
down and place himself when the plays
on the bases come up. The reason
they prefer to stand in the center of the
diamond is that they are afraid of be-
ing hit by the ball. louisville Cour-

BASEBALL BRIEFS.

Arlie Latham is still playing with

Chris Won der Abe offers each Of his
players suit of clothes if the team
pulls out of last place.
Tony Mullane has been pitching for
IS years and has lost only one game
this season for Indianapolis.
There has been much scoffing at Old
Man Anson's first base playing, but he
leads the League, having made only
four errors this season.
According to the New York World,
Cincinnati has ever been notorious for
her baseball riots. Peddling of beer in
the stands is at the bottom of the
trouble.
Phyle, the crack st. Paul pitcher,
who recently had his ankle dislocated
while sliding to third base, will not be
able to pitch again this year, and his
loss will be seriously felt by Comiskey.

PENIS Football Schedule.

The football schedule of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania eleven has been
completed for the fall, save for the ar
rangement of few minor details. The
games arranged are fourteen in number,
the season opening Wednesday, Sept. 80,
and closing with the annual Thanksgiv-
ing day game. The preliminary season
includes games with Bucknell, Dickin-
son, State, Lehigb, Franklin and Mar
shall, Amherst and Dartmouth, leading
up to the final season with the stronger
teams, beginning Oct. 23.
The first of these games is with La
fayette ON the date given, Oct. 80. A
week later Penn plays Brown, and the
Carlisle Indians follow on the succeed
ing Saturday. This closes the series of
minor games and the team rests until
Nov. 90, when they play Harvard at
Cambridge and return to Franklin Field
to meet Cornell in the concluding game
of the season.
Again neither Yale nor Princeton is
likely to be found ON the schedule. -
