of 100000. There may be luck in certain
figures, this amount, however, was her
favorite In applying for loan. She Dor
rowed that sum on the security of an es-
tate that did not exist. The lender
thought himself safe when Nine. Hum

she gave the name of Narcotic, lay, and
spoke, as a matter of course, of regis

him to write to the register of mortgages

back that 1t had not. When the credi-

The circumstance that she owes 100000

actions shows that she swindled poor
people out of cash to the amount of $4-
100000. The estates are recoverable by
their original owners; but those to whom
she mortgaged them for loans will get

Newport, August s.-You know and
know that no woman of any social pre-
tensions. possessed of experience, will
make the stupid mistake of telling any
other woman what she will wear on any
grand occasion. Why? Any woman can
answer this question right off the reel
Simply because no woman is to be trust
ed with a secret of this kind. Tell a
woman what gown you will wear and you
will find a dozen duplicates. Nothing
takes the edge off a gown so quickly as
to have another one like it. 1t is just the
same about entertainments. Preserve
the details. An original idea Is valuable.
Tell it and it will be stolen. Young Mrs.

Lord Kitchener's reception in London.
In fact, in England, was well deserved.
He may or may not be a great general in
the field but he certainly is a great or
ganizer. He is not an advertising gem

he a respector of persons. I believe that
he would make an admirable command

The Waste of War.

The meaning of the promised reduction
of the military force in the Philippines
to 1900 men may be better appreciated

cation. To support an American army on
a peace footing costs something over a
thousand dollars per man. Warlike oper-
ations, of course, cost more. Every regi-
ment of thousand men. therefore, Is

BIGGEST CLAIM IN THE WORLD.
Not All the Money In the Universe
Would. Satisfy It,

An Italian family named Peruzzi has
claim against the British government
for Sl2,OOOO0O, with interest since 1910.
The claimants are descendants of the fa-
nous Peruzzis who were the great bank
ers OF Florence in the middle ages. Flor
ence was then the great banking center
of Europe.
King Edward III. protested a great
affection for the head of the Peruzzi fam
lily. AT the same time he borrowed large
sums of money from the banker. The
king had already strained the country's
resources in fighting the Scotch, and
when he made war on France he needed
the help of the Florentine bankers very
much and obtained it. lie was success
full in his war, as the historic names of
Crecy and Poitiers attest, but that did
not ill his ceffers. In the year 1910 Ed
wards debt to Peruzz and his brother
tlorentine bankers amounted to about
$l2,OOOOOO, a colossal sum in those days.
Banker Peruzzi AT last summoned I'M
courage to ask the terrible king for his
money. but his majesty begged him not
TO mention the subject again When the
banker pressed him further, the king is
sued proclamation announcing that
owing to lack of ready money and for
'ne Soou OF the klngdom he should post
pone the payment of all debts indefinite
~ his proclamation was regarded as
a very statesmanlke document in Eng
land' and Edward has retained his repu.
tation as one of the wisest of the carly
English kings.
The Peruzzi family are still in exist
ehce ana hold a respectable position in
Italy Ever since 1910 they have kent on
dnnning the sovereigns of Englaai for
their money. Every ten years they for
ward statement of their claim TO the
bi1tish government, but the latter shows
no inclination to pay it. The sum of
Sl2,OOO'OO0 borrowed By King Edward
III. would, with moderate rate of inter.
est compounded annually since 1910, run
into twenty-six figures. There is moi
enough money in the world to pay it, but
IL Is hardly necessary to say that the
feruzzl family would compromise for
much smaller sum that that-Aodern So
ciety.
