KIDNAPPED BY eYPsIEs.
Child Slave Escapes From Hand
After Four Years, Capfivftx

Child Slave Escapes From hand
After Four Years Captivity.
The flames Of the great South Chicago
steel mills were the beacons which q few
nights ago lighted kidnapped boy to his
home. After four years spent as child
slave of the wandering gypsies 10-year-
old Walter Cutler found a safe haven
under their glare.
The boy was kidnapped four years ago
from Soutn Bend, Ind, where his mother
and his stepfather, Frank Cullen, lived.
Some time before his father, ]. II. Cutler,
South Chicago shipyard superintendent,
died, leaving widow and two children,
Walter and Flora. A year later the
mother married Cullen and went with her
husband and family TO South Bend. The
couple had just settled ON the outskirts
of the Indiana city when 6.year-old Wal
ter was stolen by band of gyrsies. No
attempt to secure ransom was made,
and for year the captive was only a
charge to his kidnapcrs. Then he was
taught to care for the horses and children
of the gypsies.
The band subsisted by horse trading
and fortune telling and was commanded
by Chief Joseph Casmir. The captive
was abused by the gypsy children, who
regarded him as a slave, and any attempt
to resent their cruelty led to more severe
beatings by the chief and his followers.
He was compelled to sleep and eat
with the dogs and was commanded to
keep out of sight when visitors came to
the camp. The child became tanned to
hue almost as dark as that Of his cap
tors, and because of enforced silence he
had forgotten all but few words of his
childhood tongue.
During all of his wanderings the boy
remembered the great sheets of fame
which rose from the scores of stacks in
South Chicago at night and which light
ed up the yard in which he and his sister
played.
A shore time ago the gypsy band in
their wanderings reached the vicinity of
Chicago. One night the boy looked out
from his place among the dogs and saw
tire great stacks belching forth sheets of
flame and once more the memories of his
home came back to him. He crept out
from among the tented wagons and STUN
bled out toward the great lights. When
dawn came he took refuge under a bush
and slept When he awoke he pressed on
again to where he could see the great
mills.
When the boy reached the city he still
was lost. He could not explain his
wishes, and for a day he wandered the
streets without food. Blind chance led
him to the place where his grandmother
lived, and in an instant he recognized
her

bottom of the skirt, on both sides; at
other times it extends little below
the hips
Somewhat heavier and rougher goods
will be fashionable this fall. Scotch
cheviots of fancy design will be much
used in the construction of tailored
gowns.
Trimming ideas are numberless. Tiny
ball drops, tassels and pendants of all
descriptions are shown on the new
models.
Two distinctive features may be
noted about sleeves. They have much
more fullness at the top, some of them
even being laid in deep plaits, and they
are very ornate, even to the point of
fussiness.
There appears to be some controversy
about the wearing of hatpins. Some
say that none should be visible at all !;
but, on the other hand, the most ex
quisite designs are seen in wrought
gold and coors to harmonic with hat
or gown.
The engagement bracelet is quite a
new fad and while not exactly taking
the place of the engagement ring, it
accompanies that gift and is of a like
pattern. Tiffany settings are very
handsome, and the bracelets are the
perfection Of skilled Workmanship.
Some of the new hats show wings of
exaggerated length, which prove the
milliners' skill to outrival even nature
in the length of certain wings. The
feathers are mounted on wooden can
vas, and they are colored to match
every kind of hat we see.
Two of the leading features OF the
fall models are the development of the
tailor-made and the Japanese effects,
each of which draws upon the other to
form an entirely new style, which,
while it has the characteristics Of both.
is at one more practical and more
artistic than either.

The war between the transatlantic
steamship lines was continued, the in

ing that first cabin rates from New York
to Liverpool on such ships as the Baltic,
Cedric and Celtic would be $3.50, re-
duction from S95, and that the eastward
rates would be, from now on, $3.50, a
reduction from $50. The rate by the At
lantic Transport fleet will be $50, instead
of $40, for first cabin to London, and the
big Adriatic of the White Star line VIII
carry passengers for $3.50, instead of
$95. The Cunard followed suit with

expected from the North German Lloyd
and Hamburg American.

kindness and loving discipline the law
does later by means less loving and less
kind All humanity is not made up of
indulgent mothers, ami that fact the
child finds out in time, much to his
sorrow. He should be properly adj
justed to the regulations of proper con-
duct, and let this regulation take place
early in life, when the little mind ac-
cepts the ideas that are the foundation
of character.
There should be school in which
mothers should be taught the art of
bringing up their children. 1t is upon
this teaching that the character of the
future generation depends.

E. G. Hall, writing in the August Tech
nieal World Magazine, asserts that Prof.
George Poe of South Norfolk, Va, is able
to restore life to apparently dead animals,
his treatment being based upon the well
known method Of forcing oxygen into the
lungs. For this purpose he has devised
an artificial respirator modelled in all
respects after nature. 1t embraces two
small cylinders, each having an inlet and
an outlet, with which plungers work sim
ultaneously, and from which tubes are
conducted to the nostrils OF mouth Of the
patient. One cylinder is supplied with
oxygen, and the outlet Of the other dis
charges directly into the atmosphere. The
plungers are worked by hand and timed
according to normal respiration. Thus in
one movement noxious gases from the
lungs are drawn into one cylinder, while
the next movement forces oxygen from
the other cylinder into the lungs. This
device has been patented and viii soon be
upon the market.

sUPERsTITIoNs OF NINE.

Number Most Conspicuous In An
cient and Modern Speech.
OF all the odd numbers the one
which would seem to be the most con-
spicuous in ancient lore and modern
speech and in illusions Of all sorts
whether classic or vulgar-is nine.
Whether this Is because it Is multiple
of three, triple trinity or not we need
not stop to inquire The connections
in which nine figures, says the London
Globe are very numerous and extra
ordinarily varied. OF old there were
nine. muses., and also nine rivers In the
internal regions. In classical mytho-
logy we read Of nine heavens and nine
worlds and the hydra had nine heads.
In medieval times there were nine
''worthies of the world" the places In
this select assembly being differently
allotted by different authorities, the
usual division being three gentiles, or
paynims, three Jews and three Chris
tians One Of the oldest English gstmes
is nine mems morris. 1t could be play

folding board marked with the neces-
sary lines and squares or on board
marked out on field or down by stones
or by cuts in the turf. In Dorset they
still play the game under the name of
marnull.
Nine appears frequently in popular
medicine A Sussex collector referring
to the very common rural belief in the
efficacy of passing a ruptured Child
through cleft ash tree says that thu
patient must be attended by nine per-
through the cleft from west to east
A Perth kirk session record of 1923
refers to the preparation of three cakes
for some medicinal purpose from nine
portions of meal contributed by nine
maiden and nine married women.
Threads with nine knots and straws
with nine joints are used for various
healing purposes while nine successive
mornings are often prescribed for the
performance Of certain folklore cere-
monies.
The great Lambton worm, one of
the best known of English dragon
myths, had nine eyes and was fed from
the milk of nine cows.
Again the same number is prominent
in various common phrases and prov
CRIBS. Nine tailors make a man. Queen
Elizabeth Is alleged to have once adj
dressed a deputation of eighteen tall
ors with Good morning, gentlemen
both!"
Every one knows that a cat has nine
lives, while the 'cat" that is used for
the castigation of evlldoers has nine
tails
When Mercutio insults Tybalt and

Haywood the proyerb monger, has the
saying "A woman hath nine lives like
a cat,' which will be news to most
folk
Three more examples may be given
from a collection of applications of
this remarkable number nine, which
is not easily exhausted. Possession,
we often hear, is mine points of the
law" A person who has paid some
attention to his or her attire is said
for some inscrutable reason to be
dressed "up to the mines" while the
most startling event is but mine days
wonder" The last phrase. though
truer now than ever, was Familiarity
used. with many other still current
forms of popular speech, in the days OF
Chaucer.

Famine in Hair.
