cred such enormous crowds Of Italians

find beds.
President Loubet's departure after
the naval review was made the occa-
sion of indescribable and delirious en-
thusiasm.
From early morning every position
available for witnessing the naval re-
view was completely occupied by
spectators, n the magnificent gulf
OF Naples was absolutely covered with
craft Of all kinds, from large yachts to
humble fishing and rowing boats, and
OF all nattonalities, each hosting col
ors, the French predominating. The
spectacle of h French and Italian
squadrons anchored side by side was
magnificent and most imposing. The
battleship Regina Marguerite, having
on board President Loubet, King En-
manuel and the royal princes, with
their respective suites, appeared from
the military harbor and was saluted
by laundering hurrahs, booming Of
cannon and waving OF handkerchief
by the immense multitude. The Mar
gherita was followed by the torpedo
gunboat Euridice, with members Of the
diplomatic corps, headed by United
States Ambassador Meyer on board,
and by other ships carrying digna-
taries of state. members of parliament,
etc. President Loubet Inc King EN-
manuel, on board the Margherita, sa-
luted the strains OF the royal Italian
march.
From the Margherita Loubet went on
board the cruiser Marseillaise n the
French squadron left the bay, headed
by the Marseillaise The French ships
were accompanied by six Italian bat
tleships and two squadrons of torpe-
do boat destroyers. So long rs 1t was
possible to distinguish the salutations

changed their farewell salutes.

Bat Masterson on the Solitary HoIduE

New York Press: when you read in
the paper, as you do about once every
six months, that one man has entered
a gambling house or a crowded saloon,
held up the entire crowd and made his
escape with the money, you are apt to
think that particular crowd must have
been a little below par in the matter or
said Bat MaSterSon the other
day. ut seems all the more evidence
of cowardice that in such cases prob
ably half the men held up are armed.
In reality they are no more cowardly
than other men. The reason they sub
NIT so calmly is that each in a crowd OF
that sort Is absolutely certain the eyes
of the holdup man are looking straight
into his. In fact they certainly do ap-
pear that way, but that is due to a little
optical delusion.
"Of course, the highwayman wears a
mask and in almost every case this
mask is made of dark cloth. Where
holes are cut in the mask for eyes the
skin shows light against the edges of
the mask, i don't understand why IL
should be so, bu 1t is a fact that when
a man is wearing one of those black
masks his eyes seem to be staring
straight at any one who looks at the
mask. No matter in what part of the
room you stand, or how much you
move, the eyes back Of the black mask
will seem to be concentrated on you.
The artists know this trick, and they
use 1t in some of the mask pictures.
Probably you have seen a picture of
that sort and understand the thing bet
ter thai I can explain 1t. If you have
ever looked at a masked man with n
gun picture you know the eyes and
the gun always seem to be on you.
That's the secret Of the solitary holdup
game. When a man thinks the other
fellow has the drop On him he is apt to
be mighty slow about drawing a gun
and starting trouble"

Thongh insomnia is distresslng an

Though insomnia Is distressing and
very bad for health, says an authority,
many people sleep too much. Too much
sleep is harmful, and even a newborn
infant ought not to be allowed to spend
all it's time in slumber. Between one
and two years of age a child needs six
teen to eighteen hours of sleep; from
three TO four years 1t requires fourteen
20 sixteen hours; from four to six year
II ought to have thirteen to fifteen
hours; from six to nine years 1t should
have ten to twelve hours, and from
nine to thirteen a the proper al
lowance OF sleep is eight to ten hours.
After the completion of growth, the
sleep allowance can be brought down
safely to six or eight hours.
