DYNAMITE UsEp M WooINo
Resorted To by italian Swain When
the Seductive Stiletto Had
Failed to Win.

There are those who believe that
love was stronger and truer in the
prehistoric days when young Romeo,
clad only in sunlight, batted his Juliet

din0saur and carried her to his cave.
where they lived happily ever after.
SO far as is known. says the Atlanta
Journal, there were no divorces in
those days.
Strength, aggressiveness, daring,
brute force count with m to-day.
A Rome dispatch tells of a young
Italian who loved a flower girl intense
ly. She wouldn't have him. She
laughed at him publicly and he stab,
bed her in the neck.
He wore a ball and chain six months
for that.
In his second attempt at matrimony
he used a stiletto and had the lady
pretty well carved when the police
came. He served a year for assault
and again came to the front with
protestations of undying love. The
lady said no and he blew up her house
with dynamite. The kitchen flew over
the barn and the parlor disappeared
into the cellar, while the girl was
taken to the hospital and her lover
went to Jail.
Now, you would naturally think that
the young woman would have cheer
fully seen her assailant boiled in oil
or drawn and quartered, all of which
shows how little you know OF a WON.
ans heart.
On her knees she went before the
judge and begged the law to excuse
the man who loved her so well. The
judge couldn't quite excuse the dyna-
hitting. but he made the sentence as
light as possible, and later the couple
were married and are said to be living
happily.
OF course, it wouldn't be wise to
advise lovers to go a-wooing with CAT
ling guns or dynamite. but certain il is
that the strong a the fellow who
does things, can command respect and
love. 1t has beer that way since the
time of Adam and it probably always

The late Thomas b. Reed used to
tell the following: DIR. Reed, of In

time, was opening the Sunday morn
ing service at his church with the
usual prayer. While he was in the
midst of the prayer a stranger entered
the church and took a seat far back.
DR.. Reed was praying in a low voice
and the man in the rear. after strain
ing his ears for awhile, called out:
Pray louder, DR.. Reed, | can't hear
you"
Or. Reed paused, opened his eyes
and turned them around till they rest

a MODERN MIRACLE.

What a wonderful age this is we
live in! Think of the way peace was
brought about, for instance-the mod
ern inventions that were brought into
play.
The main factors in determining
upon peace were the peace conference
itself at Portsmouth; a man at Saga
more HILL on Long Island, upwards of
two hundred miles from Portsmouth;
the Russian car, three thousand miles
across the Atlantic; and the emperor
of Japan, across the Pacific on the
other side of the globe.
1t became evident that the peace
plenipotentiaries at Portsmouth could
not agree. That night the man in his
private home at Sycamore Hill took
the matter up with the Russian car
in his palace at Peteroff. All of what
passed between them the world does
not yet know, except that three times
the man at Sycamore Hill appealed to
the car to make concessions to the
Japanese in the interest of humanity.
When the Russians absolutely refused
to concede anything the man at Saga
more Hill turned to the mikado in far
off Japan on the other side of the
world. The next day the world was
surprised to hear that the Japanese
had conceded everything necessary to
the Russians, and that Theodore
Roosevelt had brought it about by his
fntercession with the mikado.
Yet President Roosevelt had not
been out of his home at Sycamore Hill
on Long Island. He had remained in
spot which a comparatively short
time ago would have been isolated
from the rest of the world, so far as
speedy communication is concerned.
But sitting there in his home he had
! brought two warning nations together

Eating Versus Dining.

Joseph SoIari's death in California
recalls days when New York's best
restaurants were not places of ostenta-
ton and display, but of good eating
and drinking. Solaris, at the north
west corner of Eleventh street and
University place, was then the head
quarters for men who really dined,
who regarded dinner as an occasion of
Importance and believed that their
gustatory and digestive apparatus was
something to be treated with respect.
The test of a dinner nowadays is too
often how much it costs, not how good
it is. Wines are valued according to
the prices on the list. This is more
simple in a way, since it makes every
Millionaire connoisseur. Restaurants
like Solari's and Sieghortner's and
LebIanc's, where the cooking was
everything and table decorations and
orchestra nothing, have passed away.
