ONLY Reported Dead.

A stratling case of the sudden reap.
pearance of person supposed to be
dead is reported from the village Of
Monte-Segall, near Pavia, where a
soldier, supposed to have been killed
in the fight between the Italians and
Abyssinians at Abba-Garima and
mourned and almost forgotten, fright
ened the wits out Of his relations by
quietly knocking at the family door
the other day and observing as it was
opened, well here | am"
He afterward explained that though
left on the field for dead, he recov-
cred from his wounds, and on being
released, went to London, where he
obtained work as a waiter, and then
getting a little shop of his own,
made money enough to make him
think of seeing Italy once more

Canada and Alaska.

The conditions for the requirement
of homestead in Canada are far
easier than in Alaska. In Canada
it is possible for a man and three
sons, the youngest of whom is II
years Of age, each to take up a quar-
ter section at triling expense, build
a house for all on one quarter sec
ton, do the required six months inn
provement work on each for three
years, and at the end Of that time OBJ
tain crown grants for all four quarter
sections. In Alaska, while conditions
are very liberal, man taking up a
homestead Of 800 acres must do i'm
proyement work for five years before
obtaining title, though he is privi-
legged at the end of the first year to
have 1C0 acres surveyed at his own
expense, and by paying 1925 an acre
obtain full right to it.-Boston Alask-

sADDEsT FACT ABOUT GOTHAM.
It is the Presence of the Man Alwaya
Fawnlna for a Tip.

FaWning for Tip.
William Allen White writes of New
York City and Emporia (his home
town. in the American Magazine.
Following is Mr. Whites account of
the saddest thing he sees in New
York:
Country dwelling American men
and most of the women are instinc-
lively democratic And, being demo-
cratic, the cities sadden us country
people, For the city-and New York
is typical of urban America-fosters
too much of the sham relation be-
tween men that one finds where class
lines are set. The eternal presence
of a serving class, whose manners
may some day petrify into servility,
the continual discovery that the man
who brings the food or sweeps the
street or drives the cab considers
wholesome conversation with him
from his patrons as a sign Of low
breeding, the presence Of the man
who fawns for quarter, all these
make the countryman in New York
desire to rush home and organize a
Sitting Bull lodge Of Ancient and
Amiable Anarchists.
1T is not the extravaganza of the
rich, but the timber knees of too
many of the poor, that disgusts the
countryman in New York. The sad
dest thing in that great city to one
who comes from the frank, wholesome
clean, happy faces of the country is
not the eyes, not the overfed, puffy
necked figures of the lazy respecta-
BILE, woodworking women, who get
no more exercise than stuffed geese,
not the besotted faces OF the men
about the barrel houses-though mer-
ciful God knows they are sad enough,
but sadder than they are the loath-
some wooden faces of the men who
stand decked out like human mani
kins in puppies and greens and what
not of mOdish Stiffness and for
price surrender themselves to be
made part of the landscape. For
years Mickle, the painter, was the
lowest form of humanity We had in
Emporia He was the town drunk
ard. once they fined him for beating
his wife, drink made him a loafer
and a brute. But some way one felt
down in MicBle there was the soul Of
a man; some way one knew that he
would not do certain things for mon
ey; some way one always understood
that Mickle could always look into
depths of personal degradation below
him and tell whoever tempted him
there to go to -. But, on the
other hand, some way the Aunky is
just a fiunky and he seems to have
given up the right to resent personal
insult when he assumes the miser-
able part. And for a man to COM
mercialize his American birthright
seems a heart-breaking tragedy"

T4E CLEAN. GREEN HILLS.

The clean. green hills have called to me
amid the citys stress,
Come back to us, 0 Wearied heart ana
md thine old redress,
The long lost beauty of thy days, the
vanished loneliness.
Return to us and here regain the dreams
lost long ago,
Whether the April grasses wake or wheth-

Oh, find again the quiet hills their Sc
crets know!"
The clean, green hills, the silent hills,
