ERIE CANAL HELDIT OWN.
Showed That inland Waterways Were
by No Means Obsolete.

When the New York Central par.
elleled the Erie canal, over SO years
ago, it looked very much as If canals
we're a thing of the past. When the
West Shore hemmed it in on the other
side canals had fallen in public opin.
ion to the raging canawl" of the
humorists. But the truth is, the Erie
canal did not rage at all. 1t kept grow.
ing-slowly, as BELTS a canal. When
it was completed in 1926 it was four
feet deep and 40 feet wide; in 1885
it was %deepened to six feet and took
barges of 240 tons burden. Later it
was given another foot, and was en-.
larged to a width of 70 feet at the top
and Sc feet at the bottom, and there it
remained. And while the railroads
competed strenuously, it's boats kept
appearing at Buffalo and hauling the
treasure by the only and original route
to the sea-. AS late as 1897 it is said to
have carried as much through freight
as did these two trunk lines together,
and it kept on doing it, despite the
long-drawn jeers of locomotives.-The

"The DEVILS RihIen

The volume which is called "the
devils Bible" is in the library of
the royal palace of Sweden. 1t is a
huge copy of the Scriptures, written
on 300 prepared asses skins. One re.
port says that it took 500 years to
complete this copy, which is so large
that it has a table by itself. Another
tradition says that it was completed
in a single night, due to the assistance
OF his Satanic majesty who, when the
work was finished, gave the monk a
portrait of himself for a fr%ontispiece.
me Illuminated likeness Of the devil
still adorns the front page of the work.
The volume was carried off by the
Swedes in the Thirty Years War from

TAKES HIS VACATION ALONE.
Hard Worker Brings Arguments to
Support His Position.

Am I justified, or not" said a mar
ried man, lin going off alone on my
vacation? I think I am, the wife agrees
with me; but I confess the n%eighbors
shrug their shoulders. The case stands
like this: I work hard all the year, ten
full hours a day; and when I come
home at night, there's the wife with
her worries, and there are the children
with their noisy play and their noisy
quarrels. So for so continuous weeks
and on my brief fortnight's vacation
I need a change from all that, a COM
plete change. Therefore I go off alone
to the mountains. I fish all day, and
in the evening, dressed in my evening
suit, talk with beautiful young wo-
men in the hotel corridors. 1 want a
change, I get it, and 1 return home a
new. man. But with the wife and kids
along, I'd return home the same man."

WOMAN RAFFLES CONFESSES
MRS. RoMADkA, OF MILWAUKEE,
ADMITS SHE is A BURGLAR.
Wife Of a Wealthy Man Says She
Robbed Homes and Gave Plumber
to Negro.

Chicago, Oct. 10.-Mrs. Charles ].
Romadka confessed Wednesday, &C.
cording to the police, that she had
robbed several homes in Chicago,
stealing diamonds valued at thousands
of dollars. One robbery in Milwaukee
she acknowledged as her work.
Following her raids of the homes of
the rich, Mrs. Romadka said, she
turned the property over to the col
ored man, Jones, now a prisoner.
The startling confession which
clears away many of the recent rob-
berries in the city, besides explaining
the mystery of the wealthy woman's
arrest, was made to Francis Reno,
special agent Of the Fidelity & Cas-
ualty company of New York, which
has been investigating the strange
case.
Following the confession the wo-
man told her story to Detective Ser
geants Howe and Conroy. Detectives
are investigating her story and expect
to recover at least $4,000 worth Of
stolen property.
Mrs. Romadka acknowledged rob-
bling the Clifford Beck home, 5540
South Park avenue, where $1,000
worth of jewels was taken. Those
jewels, she says, she gave to the negro
Jones, except those which she was
wearing when discovered dining with
a board of trade man in the Baltimore
Inn, where she was first arrested.
She also told of entering a home at
about 1000 Sheridan road, where hun
dreds of dollars worth of property
was taken; Of robbing a home at
4517 Vincennes avenue; of entering a
house in Logan Square and another
lee $500 Yale emu
The Beck home was robbed by the
millionaire's wife about noon Septem-
Der 2. Mrs. Beck was asleep when
Mrs. Romadka, according to her own
story, entered the house, walked up
the stairway to the second floor and
stole the bag containing the $1,000
worth Of jewels.

FOWLER FLEEs FROM ASYLUM.
Former Secretary Of Oriental ExcIu.
sion League Has Escaped.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 11.-Arthur E.
Fowler, former secretary of the Jap
anese-Korean Exclusion League Of
Seattle, escaped Tuesday from the in
sane asylum at Steilacoon and made
his way to Seattle, where it is believed
he is being taken care of by friends.
Fowler was arrested in Bellingham
three weeks ago, examined by a
lunacy board and sent to the asylum.
This followed his fruitless attempts
to gain a following for his pet scheme
of oriental exclusion through a league
of mammoth proportions. He started
his work in Seattle and enrolled the
labor unions.

"Look at All the Ugly Men!"

Senator Charles W. Fulton of Ore
gon was a stumper whose methods
were as effective as Delivers. He
would begin something like this:
We'll l must say I'm disappointed at
this crowd! Look at all the ugly men!
Not a good-looking mar in the whole
convention! How does it happen that
such a lot of misshapen features on
the masculine side have been able to
attract so many be%autiful-female part
ners? Here I've been a bachelor for
40 years; but if I had known you fell
lows could do as well as you've done
Id never been a bachelor for Is min
utes," etc. BY this heart-to-heart
method he placed himself on the best
of terms with his hearers and then
took a dive into politics. The joke of
it all was, according to an article in
Appleton's, that his wife was probably
sitting in the audience listening to his
remarks.

French Duel Test of COURAGE.

The only circumstance which we
take the trouble to notice in modern
French duels is that they seldom do
much harm; the fact which is upper
most in the French mind is the obvi-
ous!y implied one that, whether a
duelist come to any manner of grief
or not, a man cannot take part in a
duel without deliberate risk of his
life. His act, though probably only
conventional, may turn out to be
fatal. And even though, in general,
it happily prove a mere formality, it
involves, on the part of all concerned,
a brave acknowledgment that anyone
who pretends to. belong to civilized
society must hold himself responsible
for any deviation from the code Of
conduct which its traditions prescribe
and which it's existence involves

Be Charitable.

Never pass final judgment on any
one from first impressions. We are
all such creatures in limitation. Eyes
are faulty. and the elements of char
acter which include u.s., often more
than compensate for the faults we see.
Look again, look deeper. You will be
surprised at the number of stars in
the night sky If you look long enough.
Most people have more virtues than
are seen by snap vision. Be charitable
and patient. Do not spoil your world
by peopling it with imaginary beings.
Welcome the good in humankind, and
the good in others will reward your
quest.

Relics Of a Great Composer.

Among life's largest ironies is the
fate that often befalls the manuscript
of a genius. OF no one is this truer
than Of Beethoven. When this great
est of composers was alive he was in
c~essantly in financial difficulty. After
his death all his manuscripts were
sold at auction-over 200 Of them
there were-yet they brought hardly
$500. This would be at the rate of
about $3.50 apiece. The other day the
manuscript Of his G major sonata for
violin and piano, written in 1912, was
sold by a man in Leipsic to a man in
Florence for 42.500 marks, or $4,000.
