 "only wish we could burn Jack Croton. He's the cheekiest chap and the biggest bully we've got in Ches- teryille Academy, and he's getting worse every day." Tommy muttered.
 Billy remained in deep thought for several minutes. Then he responded: "You're right, Tommy. And we've just got to take him down six or seven pegs. The way he flags those little chaps is shameful. What do you say to thinking up some sort of scheme to make him whistle tomorrow"
 Nothing was more agreeable to Tommy. Indeed. he was in his ele- ment when plotting mischief with Billy Berkely--and there hardly ever passed a day during which the re- suits of these warlike conferences did not show themselves.
 Jimmy Durkin was taken into the confidence of the two conspirators. All that afternoon they toiled in se- crecy, making a dummy that. when completed. was the exact counterpart of Gruffy Jenkins, the Latin master more often known as "Old Gruffy."

Ed. MATTAS DROWNED
At FRANKFORT
LOST HIS BALANCE AND FELL
INTO RIVER FROM BOARD
WALK.

Shortly before s O'Clock last night
Edward Mattas was drowned at
Frankfort, Wash, under distressing
circumstances. In company with
Harry Johnson and John Shields,
two old friends OF the deceased, he
left Astoria in a gasoline boat for
Frankfort and reaching that point
disembarked at the dock. As the
party was passing along the walk
leading from the dock to the shore,
he lost his balance and fell into the
river on the side on which there
was no railing. His friend Shields
who was walking beside him at
tempted to sieze him as he toppled
over but could not reach him in
time. Where he fell the water was
about four feet deep but the tide was
running out strongly and the body
was carried about 100 yards further
down the river where it was recov-
cred two hours later. Four boats
were engaged in the work Of rescu-
ing the body which was finally
caught by the graphing irons as
above.
When the body was taken from the
water all known means Of resuscita-
tation were employed but they were
Of no avail nd the sorrowing friends
were reluctantly forced to submit
! The body was placed in skiff which
was secured to the dock and this
morning the coroner at South Bend
was notified. Leaving the body in
charge OF Fred Hansen, awaiting the
coroner Shields came to Astoria to
make arrangements for the burial OF
/ his friend, and returned to Frankfort
last night. 4
Mattas was born in Warsaw, Fin
land, and was 40 years Of age. He
was we'll known in this section and
was member of the Alaska Fisher
mans Union, which organization will
take charge OF the remains and the
arrangements for the interment
From the fact that Mattas was
unable to help himself in the COM
paratively shallow water it is thought
that IN falling he nay Save struck
his head against the walk rendering
him unconscious.

MACAR0NI IN ITALY.

Luxury.


Every one pictures the Italian as

you that the Italians, taking them as a
people, do not eat macaroni, and set
this Is virtually true. Macaroni In Italy
costs 4 to s cents pound, and 1t y
40 costly for common use. II Is abon'
as accurate to say that the Italian,
i've. on macaroni as that the Amerl'
cans live on turkey. Macaroni to the
working Italian is a luxury. You often
see young fellows on a holiday IN
dulglng in dish In restaurant or
before d street cook stand about as
Americans would eat Ice cream. y
customary worktuan's dinner is hunk
OF bread broken apart and "buttered
with few traces of tomato sauce. As
for meat, i Is the greatest rarity. ana

cheap and filling. The Italians at

buried decently and in order. Some
two weeks after the funeral it oc-
