nearly three years residence i'll France.
She is one of five children ranging in
age from her brother of sixteen to the
youngest girl of six. Felice has skin
like the sheen of pearl (which is
marvellous considering the amount of
indigcstible food she bolts five times
Il day.; big, decrlike eyes. long dashed
daintiiy shaped but seldom clean hands
a thin, rasping and petul;nlt voice even
in her merriest mood, and physique
like that of starved and homeless cat

staminaleSS generally. Yet she seems
full of vitality nervous, irritable vital
ity-eats as much food as an English
NAVY, and certainly has, as my Ameri-
can lady friend says, heaps of sense"
But to see the child eating is painful,
though interesting in Il way.

age, like Felice. would he sent to bed

When the celebrated John limbs Of

don newspaper he one day commission
ed one of the staff to accompany the
hop pickers in Kent and to write for
the Journal an absolutely veracious ac-
count Of his experiences.
The faithful scribe to whom the task
was intrusted performed his Job with
Scrupulous care, and, attired as a hop
picker, he spent a whole week among
his temporary comrades.
In due course he returned to the ed
itorial office and produced his copy

burst into Il great rage.
This won't do at all, Mr.. Smith,"
he exclaimed furiously. 'Surely you
must know this is far too coarse for
insertion i'll our paper"
Il was afraid that might be the
case" calmly replied the reporter. DO
you think this is betterf" Saying this,
he handed limbs another manuscript
limbs perused it and was delighted.
"1he very thing; charming" he ex-
claimed.
"Ah, | thought you would like that"

Actions Against the Insects In the

In the year 1545 the owners of the
vineyards of st. Julian, Savoy, France
solemnly took action in the law courts
against Il host of hungry caterpillars
which had played havoc with their
vines. This grave matter was referred
TO arbitration and came in due course
before the bishop as ecclesiastical
Judge
Two lawyers were retained in the in.

The judge held that no hasty decision
should be given. since it was possible
that the caterpillurs had not acted ma.
liciously, but had been sent as q
Scourge.
At the end of year from the first
proceedings it was held that the farm
ers must submit to the infiction and
pay all costs. After an interval of for
ty-two years another army Of caterpil-

that they were only exercising their le-

LONDON WHITEHALL.
1t Was known AS York House Until
Cardinal WoIsey's Fall.


Old Westminster palace was the Lon
don residence of the archbishops of
York and was known as York House
or York Place down to the reign of
Henry VIII On the downfall! of Cardi-
nal Wolsey, 1929. York House was de-
livered and confirmed by charter to the
king, who changed its name to White
hall.
There were already several White
halls i'll the country. and the choice of
the name in this instance may have
been due To new buildings of white
stone. added by Henry VIII, which
contrastcd with the red brick in gen
cIal use Another conjecture is that the
king wished 10 emphasize the depth of

name of the palace 50 clearly associated
with his elevation to power and posi-

This appears TO have been Shake

that's past.
For, since the cardinal fell. that titles

we remember, was excellent and tn
gate receipts ran up into the humid

paid out SOP for premiums. The
entries were large and the exhibits
good ones. After the fair a terrific
wind blew down the board fence

Northwestern road built it's track
into Audubon and the present fair
grounds were then purchased and
fitted up a little at time, year by

comfortable. This year, 1905, the
Association is offering $3.50 in pre-

our memory serves us right
October l, 1879, through the
untiring zeal of E. j. Free
man, the first Fair in Audubon
county was pulled off. A meeting
for this purpose was held in the
old freight house of the c. RI P.
Ry. Co., in Audubon, and the la
mented Captain Stuart was placed
in the chair. He being called away
was obliged to leave on the next
train, so Mr.. 1. A. Shingledecker, a
prominent farmer east of town, took
the chair and an organization was
perfected by the election OF George
Gray as president; Darius Barlow,
vice-president; H. U. Funk, secre-
tary, and A. h. Roberts, treasurer.
The third week in September, 1879,
was fixed upon at this meeting as
the date to hold the fair, but the
boys had too much to do to pull it
off at that date, so October LIST was
fixed upon and everything went
merrily on. E. j. freeman had ar
ranged with the Rock Island Rail

There is an American in London who
IS rapidly learning English. He used
to ring the bell and call CURLY for
"muciage." Assiduous and willing at
PENDANTS brought him everything you
can think of from the ''peerage" to
packets of cigarettes, but never the ex-
act thing he wanted. At last the most
intelligent of the young men put the
right question and got the answer
"Oh, yes" he said and brought gum.
In America when you want to stick
things together you ask for mucilage
and when you want something to chew
you demand gum; so called, by lin

~ The summer girl is!
What a bird.
Have you ever heard
OF anything like her?
What a wonderful hiker
Straight to mems hearts,
With her cute little arts
And her graces,
Her tufts and her
Ribbons and laces;
Her smiles and her signs,
Her varying eyes.
The touch of her hand,
The rapture of-oh, my landi
Jee-rusalem! Gosh,
Can't she josh
Any man on earth
To finish? Say!
Amt she the way
You long have sought
And mourned because
You found it nought?
Well, guess
She is the limit Of loneliness.
She
Bosses the sea,
And the mountains fall
Down at her call.
No matter where you find her,
No matter where she dwels-
In lovely summer villas
Or any old hotels
She yields her magic scepter.
She sits upon her throne
And claims without distinction
All mankind as her own.
And what does mankind
Think about it?
Well, don't shout it
Whisper it soft and low:
He's willing to be her subject
For a couple of months or SO,
But after that
My scat,
Where is the summer girl at2
