begin a fresh series Of peregrinations and
struggles.
One day as he was walking along the
streets Of Prague he came upon a man
whose face seemed familiar to him. The
next moment the two were in each 9TH
ers embrace. They had been political
prisoners together; they had shared the
fortunes of life in the fortress.
The poor mans friend was a wealthy
Hungarian nobleman. They spent sew
eral days together. AT the hour of part
ing, the aristocrat took off his gold
watch with It's heavy gold chain, and.
handing it to his comrade, said:
Take it in token of our old-time suf-
iferings.' .zs t.@ses -
The old man obtained a position In a
government Office. It was about this
time that he made the acquaintance of
Pavlichek, the father of the dead child.
who was an employe in a foundry. Paw
hchek was all alone in the world, like
himself, and the two became attached to
each other. They roomed together. and
when Pavlichek married the couple in
I sisted upon his living with them.
The old official was a gloomy. ill-tem-
pered man. At least that was the way
he impressed people who judged him by
his manner and appearance without
knowing his heart. 1t was full of love
and sympathy, that heart of his. Only
life had used him so roughly-he. had
been through so much misery and suffer-
ing that the imprint of his struggles Law
en- his wrinkled face and often found
expression in outbursts of impatfence
with everybody and everything, with all
mankind and the whole hard-hearted
world
Pavlichek and his wife were dearer
than his own self to him. In his morose.
irritable way he was devoted to them, as
he might have been to his own children.
and when their child came into the
world, he wepts for joy. A warm, smil-.
ing sunbeam IN May revives and cheers
the cold hardegrown earth. This was the
way the appearance of the baby acted
ON the three people in the house. The
gruff old revolutionist became a new
man. He grew talkative, communicative,
full of life. All his leisure time he gave,
to his pet. When the little fellow cried,
he would kiss his forehead his hair,
soft curls, and often, when he was quiet
he would stand looking into his clear
blue eyes, as If trying to decipher the
meaning of their innocent look. One day,
as he was thus caressing and kissing the
child, he said:
This child has reconciIed me to hui
mainly and life. My past is made up of
a series of disappointment and suffer-
ings which hardened my heart. Little by
little 1 lost faith in mankind. l became
suspicious of everybody; was inclined
to see everybody's actions in the most
unfavorable light. Gloom surrounded me
on every turn. But this child that knows
nothing of cunning and tyranny, that is
free from all the dark spots which cover

and went back to the house. AS she
passed through the hall Sc noticed a
strange hat and riding whip, of mascu-

deerhorn pegs. Out of a little pocket in
the coat projected tiny cardcase. The
Worm, impelled by a suddenly urging

case and opened it. Upon the parallelo-

The poor man kissed his son his last

more. but his arm dropped to his side.
AS his eye fell on the boy who had
brought him so much comfort so much
light amid the darkness of his strug-
Cling life he had not the strength to
raise the hammer. 1t came back to him
how this boy used to play with his
watch. All at once he started, as if NOV

hammer and nails aside and taking the
watch and chain from the table, he put
it into the boys little hand, winding the
chain around the wrist. Another kiss, the
very last the boy was to receive In the
world of the living, and the lid was plac-

speaking to his wife about the old man,
said:

Albany, n. Y, July 6.-Raymond
Albers, aged 10, last evening shot and

time since last Saturday to
an investigation of the better
route, via Portage or Baraboo, for the
transmission line from the projected
dam at Kilbourn City to Madison
the purpose of this line being to fur

of capital city street cars. He has
not yet made his report. The dis
tances are nearly the same by the two
routes.

were interviewer many speculations,
all very interesting but lacking the
somewhat important essential of being
true.

BIG RESERVATION OPENED
BY PROCLAMATION

Washington, July 1.-THE presi-
dents proclamation opening to settle
ment the newly ceded Indian lands in
Oklahoma territory will be made pub
lie Monday. There is a vast area of
lands and thousands Of people have
been waiting upon the borders for
months in order to be among the first
to enter. The opening up of the new
country will necessitate the creation
of two new land districts and three
new counties and they are established
in the proclamation. The land office
for the first district is to be located at
Elreno, Oklahoma county, the second
at the new town of Lawton, named for
the late Gen Lawton on the site of the
old Fort Sill. The new counties are
named respectively: Cadda, with An
adarko as the county seat; Comanche,
with Lawton as the county seat; Kio-
wa, with Hobart as the county seat.
The president has also issued
proclamation designating Wichita
mountains in the heart of the Kiowa
reservation as a forest reserve. The
lands thus reserved have an area of
$4,000 acres and are covered with
timber and underground.

iCANTEEN FOR
BADGER BOYS
PLAN TO ESTABLISH ONE AT
CAMP DOUGLAS.
M.IWAUKEEANS WANT 1T
Start a Movement Which They Hope
Will End in Authorizing the Sale of
lntoxcants on the Ground-A
Meeting Called to Consider the
Matter.

A movement is incubating to start
| a so-called canteen on the Wisconsin
reservation at Camp Douglas so that
the boys may booze without leaving
the grounds. A meeting of battalion
officers of the LIST regiment at the
| home of Major Benjamin Daily in Mil
waukee was called to consider the
proposition to work for one. but it was
| postponed owing to lack of attend
| ance. Within few days, 1t is ex-
pected, application will be made
through regular channels to have a
canteen established this year at Camp
| Douglas.
All the regimental officers of the LIST
and Major Lynch of the 10th battalion
| believe that the recent interference of
religious people has resulted in more
carousing and drunkenness at Camp
| Douglas than there ever was before.
The conditions under the rule that nc
troops travel on Sunday have caused
almost decentralization in some regi-
ments, they say
Colonel Otto Falk, Major Daily,
Adjutant Howard Green and the other
officers are hopeful that the movement
just started will end in the granting
of permission to operate a canteen.
Colonel Falk, himself a brewer, Is
especially emphatic in his desire for
its establishment. He discredits any
insinuatiOn that misconduct is preva-
lent at the encampments, but says
4
could be gotten on the grounds.
Major Lynch says the time of the
encampment is so short that the can
teen is of but little use. He says that
Ii the troops for the week at camp are
worked hard and kept busy the meh
will all be so tired that they will have
little time to go down town and raise
the disturbances that have been so
frequent in past encampments, and on
this all the officers agree.
Madison military men who will go
into camp at Camp Douglas with the
local company are in favor of the can
teen although they are not very en-
thusiastic over it. There has never
been a canteen at the camp, but the.
boys have been able to get all the bev-
erages the wished from the nearby
village. The quartermaster lets out
to private parties the privilege of sell
ing temperance drinks, popcorn, pea
nuts and tobacco, but no beer is sold
within the guard lines. Even though
it is not sold on the grounds the sol
dier boys drink the amber fluid cop
iously, not because they wish to be in
temperate, they say, but because the
water there is bad, One Of the regi-
mental officers. when asked about this
matter replied:
How is the water at Camp Douglas?
Why it's fine. 1t can be used freely
with no danger-to wash in
Further than this he would volun-
teer no information.

taIers.
Insurance companies are devoting a
great deal of special attention just
now to a movement to place teetotal-
ers into a special class for insurance
Whether or not applicants for policies
drink heavily has always been a con-
sideration with the companies, and
the Northwestern Mutual Of Milwau-
kee for instance, rejects them if they
are not up to the physical standard
1t has no special class, however.
John Wanamaker, Senator Tillman,
Dr. Edward Everett Hale, Booker T.
Washington and a number of other
prominent men have advocated the
new move of the companies which
are establishing classes of total abb
strainers, but it seems that the con-
tention that total abstainers live long
er than other people still remains to
be proved.
A report of the British Medical as
sociation made about year ago is re-
called to prove the contrary. A COM
mittee of that association investigated
1924 deaths. 1t was shown that Of
this number the total abstainers lived
81 years and p days on the average;
habitually temperate drinkers, 81
years and IL days; careless drinkers.
SO years and 81 days; free drinkers,
81 years and SO days; decidedly intern
perate drinkers, SO years and days.

and shlrtwalst talk has filled the walk
ing hours of most women to the ex-
cluslon of other absorbing subjects.
And yet-the Long island ferry house.

Iwenty-third street cars tell tales OF
shlrtwaist decadence. Three out OF

town for day wear muslin frocks.
Not for many years-in fact, since be-
fore the shirtwaist era-have so MANY
muslin gowns been worn in the street
by well-dressed women. Five years
ago the so-called blazer suit and a
shlrtwaist were worn for warm-day
shopping. Before that fancy ging-
hams were de rigueur. The blazer
suit was followed by the odd-skirt and
shlrtWaist as a costume. Then came
the short skirt and shirtwaist. Last
year every woman managed to look
cool, trim and not too informal in 4
shlrtWalst gown Of silk or linen.
This year started in as a pongee and
white shirtwaist season, but the
muslin frock has certainly "won out"
with the best-dressed class of women.
Fifth avenue and Twenty-third street
shops seem to be the rendezvous of
these cool and lightly clad shoppers.
Most OF the dresses were simply but
very dainty fashioned, with full
tucked bodices and with lace inser-
lions. 1t is pleasing to have to note
that there were no transparent yokes
and sleeves in evidence
A shirtwaist hat-the severe little
sailor seems to to be quite demode

silk gloves are in nearly every case
