self as of Prato. in Tuscany.
ROME, July 3O.-The news of the ter
rib!e event did not arrive here until
after midnight. Signor Saracco, the
premier, imn%aliately summoned q
meeting of the cabinet, and the minis
ters will start at the earliest possible
moment for Monza.
Humbert Nv, king f Italy, was born
March IA. 1874. He was the eldest son
of Victor Emanuel, by whom he re-
ceived instruction in his youth in mill
tary and political affairs. and when
Italy and Austria met in war in 1866,
Humbert commanded division in
General Cialdini's army, participating
with great credit in the battle of Coz
tozzi. In April 1868 he married his
cousin, Princess Marguerite of Savoy.
On the death of his father Humbert
succeeded to the throne Jan. 8, 1878.
and in November of that year an at
tempt was made to assa ssinate him,
but he escaped without injury. Later
in his reign, however, he SO endeared
himself to his people that he became al
most a popular idol. The heir appar-
ent, Vittorio Emanuelo, prince of
Naples, was born Nov. II, 1869. He
was married Oct. "a, 1896, to Princess
Helena, four years his junior, daughter
Of Prince Nicholas of Montenegro.

A TWO NICKER.
The Old Printer Explains What II

The Old Printer Explains What He
Meant by the Expression.
Il was just stepping off the street
car" remarked the old printer, who
was telling story, "when met a
two nicker face to face
"You met Il what?"
"a two nicker. And, as was say
ing she''-
"But what in the world is a two
nicker?"
ooh, you know what that is, don't
you?"
mo, don't. Never met one in my
life"
'Wcll. two niclcr is lady, Il wonl-
all, anything that wears pctticOats."
II never heard the expression before
Where does it come from?"
Now you're too hard for me. 1
don't know where it started, but in the
good old times OF case type and hand
presses it was the common expression
used to designate II woman in Il print
shop. 1t wasn't used outside of the
composing rooms. I'll tell you how
think 1t arose. All the old hand type,
as everybody knows, is provided with
hicks on the side, so that the type
settlers don't have to look at the face Of
the type to know how to throw it in
the Stick Far back in prehistoric
days the type had only one nick, but
later two hicks became the style, and
30 years ago two hicks was the usual
thing. But there came improvements
In typemaking, and it was discovered
that three or four hicks on the side Of
the type made 1t easier for the printer
to handle, and so the three or four
nickcd type came into style and the
two nicked type went into disuse and
bad rcputc. Printers despiscd the two
nicked type. About that time women
got foothold in the printing Offices
They were not regarded with favor by
the old time printers. The women and
the two nfckcd type were in about the
same category in the esteem of the old
typo, and it was very natural that he
should come to express both by the
same words. They both became two
nickcrs,' and the expression has be-
come traditional in printshops." Mem

GROWTH OF CARlCATURE.
John Laws Wild Schemes Gave 1t
u Tremendous ImDctus


u Tremendous Impetus.
Caricaturc is nowadays one Of the
principal methods Of criticism. No
movement can ovcrrcach the mark
without clciting dozens of works of
art from caricaturists all over this and
all other countries.
This branch of criticism and attack
dates far back, but the greatest i'm
pulse it ever felt came from the age
Of tremendous speculation, when, in
1719 and 1870, John Law was manipu-
lating things financial in France New
or before had the financial world been
SO carried off its feet as it was at that
time. Members Of tho nobility were
waiting for q chance to purchase
shares in Laws schemes. Duchesscs
and ladies Of high renown tried their
most persuasive charms on Law in the
attempt to got hold Of shares. Men
hired out their backs for writing desks,
SO great was the press of business in
making contracts, and one hunchback
is rcputcd to have made 100000 francs
in this way In few weeks. The
French went veritably mad over the
schemes to become wealthy. Natural
ly the papers Of the time, especially
those Of Holland, caricaturcd the state
Of affairs. There were pictures Of all
sorts, caricaturing Law, the nobility,
the schemes and everything connected
with them.
1t was this tremendous amount Of
pictorial work that first directed the
energies OF William Hogarth, in Lon
don, in this direction. Caricaturing
began to be used more and more in the
political field, and soon afterward it
caused the shelving of Robert Walpole
from the English ministry. Ever since
then has curicaturing been one Of the
bttcrcst and most effcctual methods Of
checking public men and their
schemes.
