A young woman who has been doing
missionary work on the east side had
an experience last week that came near
ending her charitable efforts. On one
windy, cold day she met in the streets
three italian children-two girls and a
boy-who were barefooted She stopped
them, and they told her that their par
ents couldn't buy them shoes, they were
so poor.
The charitably inclined young woman
first fitted them out with stockings and
then bought them three pairs of shoes.
The children started for home looking
very happy. The next day she met one
OF the girls on the street
"Won't you come and visit us?" ask
ed the girl.
"I'd be pleased to-" said the mission
airy, who felt that what she had done
was appreciated. "Where do you live?"
ooh. you'll have to 90 out to Engle-
wood, n. j." said the little girl. Were
going to move tomorrow. Papa has
bought two houses out there."-New

LIGHTNING HITS BALLOON.
italian Aeronaut is Dashed to Death
by Fall of 700 Feet.

Rome, June "A tragic incident
took place Sunday during a review of
the troops by King Victor Emmanuel
and Queen Helena. AS a part of the
maneuvers, a military balloon was
sent up to a height Of 700 feet with
Captain Uilivelli in the car. A storm
which had been coming up burst sud
denly and the thousands o. spectators
were Mortified to see a flash of light
ming strike the bag Of the balloon.
There was an enormous burst of flame
and a terrific defamation and the col
lapsed balloon, with its dangling car,
fell to the earth, a mile from the
scene of the review. Crowds of per-
sons afoot and in automobiles and
other conveyances, rushed in the di-
rection where the balloon had fallen
Captain Uilivelli was found alive, but
unconscious. He was placed in an
automobile and rushed to a hospital
where he died without regaining con
sciousness.

HURRY CAUSES WRECKS.
SO Says P. Il. Morrissey of Train
mems Brotherhood.

Grand Master p. II. Morrissey of
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
in discussing railway wrecks and the
cause and remedy for the same, says:
There is too much business for the
railroads, too much hurry in conduct
ing trains and too few employees to
insure the proper degree of safety to
employee and traveller.
The state railways of German en-
ploy more than three times the num-
Der of men per mile that we do, and
none can say that this does not con-
tribute to safety. Every advance in
wages here is met by counter econ
omies in operation, such as taking off
men, ETC. The American railway man
ayers as a class are capable and prac-
teal men. 1t is not their fault that
things are as they are. 1t is the fault
of the system. If they do not get the
results in operation they are likely to
be sidetracked. What, in my opinion,
the American railway systems need to
insure greater safety is more men to
man and inspect the trains, to guard
the switches and semaphores and to
patrol the tracks"

MAP is AID TO PEDESTRIAN.

Enjoyment for the Walker When lie
Is Properly Eauipped.
"The bicycle, and later the automo-
bile. gave a great impulse to the sale
of road maps, but" said man who
takes his outings afoot, useful as good
mans are to those who by such means
traverse the country maps are, as they
have always been, no less useful and
desirable for the pedestrian.
81 wouldn't dream Of walking any
where without a map. The map Is not
only a guide, but it is a companion and
friend that tells you about the country
as you go along. 1t tells you not only
precisely where you are at whatever
moment you consult it. and the dis
tances here and there. but with the
country outlined before you and Its fea'
lures marked there on the paper you
can find q far greater satisfaction In
the walk than would be possible with
out the aid of this pocket companion.
aside from the help the map gives
you in getting where you want to go,
halt where you will where some invit-
ing prospect attracts and open up the
map.
"Only be sure that you hold 1t cor
rectly adjusted to the points of the COM
pass, and then the map will tell you
what arm of the sea or what bay or
lake It is whose waters you see far
away to the east, or what village 1t Is
whose church spire you see rising to
the north; it will tell you the name
of the brook you have just crossed, and
of the stream you'll be coming to mile
! further along on the road.
'With a map, In short, every feature
OF the country near and far is revealed
to you. You know not only where you
stand at the moment, but with intelli-
gence the country round about as far as
the eye can reach. A region new to
you. It Is all the more interesting be
cause of its novelty, but the enjoyment
you find in 1t Is vastly broadened and
heightened by the Illuminating knowl-
edge you gain of it from the map.
"Invaluable as a guide. the map Is
scarcely less to be esteemed in its ca
pacity of companion and friend for, tell
ing you of what you see, 1t makes. in
a way, most pleasantly acquainted
where otherwise you might be simply a
passing stranger."-New York Sun.

FRANCE AMID STRIKE
ALL SHIPPING AT STANDSTILL
FOR WANT OF Men.
Every Port Effected-All Seamen
Join Strike-Skippers Are Liable to
Punishment for Desertion-Wlne
Growers Up Against Problem and
Are Protesting Hard.

Paris.-The striking seamen are
displaying extraordinary unanimity. 1t
is the same tale in every port in
France. Not only are ships unable to
start, owing to the desertion of Of
ficers and men, but the men aboard
French vessels arriving Immediately
throw in their lot with the strikers,
even though their voyages are incom-
plete and they are liable to prosecu-
ton for so doing. The decision of the
government to lend bluejackets at the
request of ship owners to replace
strikers has proved abortive up to the
present. The first vessel on which
they embarked, belonging at Mar
settles, was unable to sail because its
officers refused to navigate it.
Many of the striking shippers are
placed in a peculiar position owing to
the action of the authorities in refus-
ing to accept their papers when pre-
scented unless accompanied by the
ship owners written consent, which
is not forthcoming. These men are
therefore liable to punishment for de-
sertion, as technically they are still
in command and are responsible for
their vessels.
The difficulties of the government
have increased owing to the strike
coming at time when the wine grow
ers in the south are protesting Wig
orously.
At HaVre.
A large body of strikers boarded the
steamer Suzanne Marie and compelled
her crew to disembark. They then
put out the fires under the boilers OF
the vessel The police arrived and
cleared the ship of strikers.
Disturbances took place between
striking fishermen and fishermen who
had not ceased work. Eventually
however, the latter joined the move
ment.
At Marseilles.
The steamer Isly, having on board
crew of bluejackets, was unable tC
leave port because the officers of the
vessel refused to navigate her.
All troops are confined to barracks
in readiness to suppress a disturb
ance.
At Nantes.
At Nantes strikers prevented rive
steamers from departing.

INCENDIARISM AND ARSON
Some Details Of the Fire Mar.
shal's Work in Wisconsin.

One result of work under the fire
marshal law will be large reduction
in the states loss from fire. This is
not prophesy from an over-confident
fire marshal. but statement based
upon the experience Of other states.
In Ohio law almost identical with
that recently passed here has reduced
the insurance rate to sLl6, while in
the five states surrounding Ohio,
which necessarily have approximately
the same populations and industries,
the average rate is s1.3S. The expla-
nation of this important fact is easy.
A high burning rate makes necessary
high premium rate. Ii the fire is
reduced in any state, competition
among insurance companies for the
good business, soon reduces the. cost
of insurance.
The fire marshal will reduce the
states fire loss by lessening the num-
Der of incendiary fires. but much
greater reductions will be made by
the dozen assistant fire marshals
looking after the grosser fire dangers,
and by teaching the people how tc
remove or protect against conditions
likely to cause loss by fire.
Incendiaries are grouped by motive

SCHOOLS DON'T GROW
Illiteracy in Wisconsin Said To
be on Increase.

Despite the fact that the population
of the state is increasing at rate OF
about $4,000 annually, the attendance
of children to the schools of the state
shows no increase. Ten years age
Wisconsin ranked eighth in the list
for literacy, now it ranks twelfth,
and the number of people who cannot
read or write, according to the federal
statistics, is rapidly increasing.
The reports show that a number OF
persons of school age in the state on
June 80, last, was 772,5l6, 4S7, ,23S in
the counties, and 255,27S in the cities.
During the year. the attendance OF
the schools was 522, ,276, or 25O, 1000 less
than the number within the school
age limits. Of the total, 322,478 were
rrolled in the public schools in coun-
ties; 146, 1913 in cities and SO, 100 (esti-
mated) in the private and parochial
schools of the state.
The lenghtening from twelve weeks
to twenty weeks of the time each
year that each child must attend
school caused drop of % per cent in
the attendance in the counties.
Whereas formerly 80 per cent of the
children of school age attended
school, only 10 per cent now attend.
Last winter the law was made more
stringent still, the limit being raised
to twenty-four weeks.
The amount expended for the
county and city schools during the
past year was SO, ,594 ,Ol2.6S, 81 ,094 $780,
Oh, on the city schools and S5,499, ,623.85
