THE PRACTICAL POET.

He wrote sonnet to her hair,
He said twas like the night.
All cleaning black, with here and
there
a glow of starry light,
Next day he read his lines again.
And stitled down a curse
The maiden with the ebon hair
Had sent him back his verse.
Again he tried in purest rhyme
He swore her lips and cheek;
For cheek. brow and lips seemed
ready to kiss.
He vowed her cheek was like a rose,
\ damask pink so rare.
The maiden sent the sonnet back
You should have heard him swear!
What did the guileless poet do?
He did not rave nor sigh.
But changed line and sold the, first
To advertise hair dye.
He took the one about her cheek
And made a powder ad,
Then marked the page they were
upon
And was the lady mad?

ITALY's NOTORIOUS BRlcANp,

One OF the crying evils of Italy to-
day. as of Macedonia and the regions
adjacent. is the prevailing system of
brigandage which the governments of
these countries seem either unwilling
or unable to suppress. Within the
past few months, however. a resolute
and persistent attempt has been made
by the Italian criminal authorities to
break up the camora in Calabria and
other provinces where their depreda-
tions have become intolerable. The
most satisfactory result of these at
tempts thus far was the recent capture
OF Joseph Musolino, the most terrible
and most dreaded of all the brigands
in Italy. Musolino began his crimi-
nal career in 1898. when he was con-
demned to long term in prison for
murder. He managed to escape in a
few weeks and revenge became his
sole object in life. He inaugurated
his mission of blood by numbering IS
or 20 people who had witnessed
against him, afterward setting fire to
their property The Italian govern.
W. 81 lHdI IL ueDuteu
a regiment of soldiers to effect his
capture, and for three years this regi-
ment. numbering several hundreds of
men, aided by small army of police
agents, has been scattered over the
province of Calabria. vainly endeavor-
ing to effect Musolino's arrest and to
claim the reward of $500 which was
promised to the captor. In many
cases the robber chief was enabled to
elude his pursuers by reason of the
shelter and protection afforded him by
the peasantry. over many of whom he
seemed to possess strange charm.
Musolino was finally pressed so close
that he crossed the Apennies and en-
deavored to leave the country but lost
his way one night and fell into the
hand of some soldiers who were out
at the time. searching for other rob-
bers.-Leslie's weekly.

at Newton. They were shown a num-
Der of dogs, all of which ran up TO
them TO be talked to and petted. Fin
ally the owner of the kennel said:
"Now, ladies, l am going to let out
a dog that is different from the lest.
Sir Thomas is gentle and affectionate
in way, and perfectly harmless, but
he won't approach you as the others
have done. He never takes to any
one" 2
So saying, he opened the door and
the animal, an extra large, handsome
specimen of his kind, bounded out. He
stood still a moment, then, without
the slightest hesitation, walked up to
Miss Keller and laid his head upon her
knee. After he had stood there mo
tionless for several minutes looking
up into her face, while she stroked his
head, his master called to him. but the
dog paid no attention. He usually
obeys most promptly.
Sir Thomas" repeated his master,
and he whistled. but With the same
result
Sir Thomas, let's go for romp,"
he said. opening the door. But the
dog did not bulge. Even piece of
bread did not tempt him. His master
was at last obliged to take him by the
collar, put his arm around his neck
and lead him away. The incident made
a great impression upon Miss heller
and she has often spoken of the dog
since.
Sir Thomas is about two years old,
finely marked and bred, and thorough
ly registered and pedigreed. He is I'M
usually gentle and intelligent. At the
1925 for him.
A year ago last Christmas Miss
Sullivan presented Miss Keller with
cocker spaniel, which was last summer
run over on the street and killed. Miss
Keller mourned for her pet, but was
partially consoled by the promise of
another spaniel. which was to be given
her when it should be 3 months old
Unfortunately, it died before that
time, and she was doomed to second
disappointment. This was but a short
time ago.
Hearing of this. the Radcliffe girls,
who had seen the episode at the ken
nels, determined to get up a subscrip-
ton and buy Sir Thomas for her A

GOLD FROM THE sMoKEsTAck.
Precious Metal Recovered Upon
Cheese Cloth Catchers.

i At Omaha, Neb., two years ago,
while workmen were making repairs
to the roof Of a building In the Omaha
plant of the American Smelter and
Refining Company they were amazed
to find the shingles and boards COW
cred with atoms of metal. One of the
boards was taken to the assayer, who
burned ii, retorted the ashes and i'm
parted the startling information that
the metal was composed of gold, sill

results. and the mystery grew more

smoke and gas emerging from the

to fit the interior of the stacks, were
prepared. Through the centre of the
sheets were cut holes large enough to
allow the necessary free draught. The
sheets were fastened at various
heights in the stacks and allowed to
remain in position for several weeks.
When removed and subjected to treat
ment the chemist produced gold sill
yer, copper and lead worth hundreds
of dollars.
More cheesecloth catchers were in
serted in the smokestacks, a few feet
apart, one above the other from the
base to the crown; a semi-circuar
steel house was built. extending from
the furnaces to the base of the stacks;
blower was placed in position to
cool and force the smoke and gas
through the steel house and up the

tied in the steel house hundreds of
pounds of CRIME, which was allowed
to gather and pack for six months.
