Don't expect a square deal II you
are not a square man.
Some people are unable to respect
those they feel sorry for.
1t is always safe to accuse a homely
girl of being pretty.
A little learning often makes a man
unfit for company for himself.
Please notice that the old bachelor

A man who goe shack on his friends

Did you ever get a gas bill that was
smaller than you expected it would

People seldom try to discourage
your fads as long as you are willing to

Many a man who marries because

wife wants him to in after years.
One of the things a conceited youth
can't understand is how any girl can

Somehow the bargains a woman &C.

NAPLES
A PLACE WHERE EVERY PROS
PECT PLEASES.
Famed For Its Beauty Through
Twenty Centuries of History
The Things the Tourist
Must See.

See Naples and die" say the 1tal-
ians. The traveller who sees Naples
feels like living to enjoy it in mem
DRY, even though he will see no more
charming sight ere he dies, should he
live a century.
Naples Is the most beautifully stu
ated city on the lever e Its shores
are known alike for their symmetry
and coloring. Its crescent bay has
been famed through 20 centuries. The
beauty-loving Greeks found it SO de-
lightful they planted a colony there.
The Romans made 1t a ravorite resort,
and the emperors built their palaces
on the wonderful isles near by.
Whether you view the bay from The
city, with blue Vesuvius on the far
side giving OF the smoke Of its sub
terranean fires, or the city itself from
the water, every prospect pleases In
this enchanted land.
One cannot wonder at the fierce
love Of the Neapolitan for the places
of his birth. It is more lovely, more
lovable, and more fascinating than
any other city In Italy. 1t Is a warm,
Joyous. caressing city, holding the
loyalty of its devutees by its own
peculiar charm, which no other city
possesses. Its people live in the sun.

Coming into the Bay of Naples on

of pulsing Neapolitan life; the super

southern Italy, where everyone is
warm-hearted and impulsive, and

The street life Of Naples is no less
entertaining than hat observed on

WYOMING AND 'WESTERN"
WRITER'S. F..

The announcement from Cheyenne
that some OF the best citizens. OF wy
oming have about decided to form a
vigilance committee to lynch authors
who perpetrate o%ut-landish stories that
are little better than %caricatures Of
Wyoming life. will, no doubt, cause a
shudder to run down the collective
backs OF the Pot-Boilers' union. with
headquarters in and around Hacken-
sack. N. ].
Since THE Virginian,' it is COM
planned that there has been a flood of
literature that has to do with Wyo-
ming cowboys and school ma'ams and
bad men, and now the Wyoming worm
has turned. Not only has it turned,
but alynching it would go. Nor can
the citizens OF Wyoming be blamed
when the literary horizon is scanned,
1t is impossible to pick up e. magazine
that does not contain a cowboy who
talks with a soft southern accent. One
would think Wyoming is peopled with
former residents of Virginia, and that
no cowboy an get a job on a ranch
unless he shows by his dialect that he
belongs to the F. F. ", n can say
"suh' in a liquid one that might be
stamped with owen Wister's o. X.
But the people Of Wyoming should
be patient. Their state is not going to
be a target forever. There will be a
popular "hit" in some new field, and
then the cowboy models will be cast
aside, and everybody will be following
on the heels OF the new discovery.
THE virginian" is just now getting
the cheap imitation that fell to the
lot Of David Harum." Until the Wis
ter story came out, every second-rater
in the country was hammering out
farm dialect stun, in the hope of max
ing another David Harum" success
Then. too. the busy man who keeps
the pot boiling with the literature Of
the hour should not be lynched. He
Is doing the best he can. 1t may be
true that he has never seen Wyoming
and has never looked upon a cowboy,
but he may be the sole support of a
wife and six children, and, mayhap, a
mother-in-law and a few old maid
aunts. So he should be left alone In
his blissful eastern ignorance, until he

Standing on the height above the

with the buried cities at its base, one
see Naples spread out before him as
a picture. On the right is the curving
shore of the bay front, terminating
at a point, in the ancient Castel del

OF the buildings In Naples there are
several worthy Of note. Its ancient
cathedral has many beautiful pillars

temples. It's opera house is one of the
largest in the world. 1t has a royal
palace near the water front, with fine
grounds; a celebrated aquarium. and
a museum with an ~unrivaled collec-

Bank Books Oddly Lost.

Very few slips were made by the
men In charge of the British post Of
fee savings bank system, but many
curious incidents occur that cause
them to be wary. 1t often happens
that bank books are lost. One lost
bank book disappeared in a storm
wave, which had swept away all the
effects of a coast guardsman. Another
went down the gullet of a circus ele-
plant: a third had been eaten by a
goat, another by a pig, while a de-
structive puppy had rent to pieces the
record Of another troubled depositor.
All these losses have to be investi-
gated and made good. An army SER
geant complained that he had lost his
deposit book while in the act Of
measuring a recruit for the army"
