as is proved by researches in Italy.
Interesting particulars OF what wouid
appear tp be the earliest examples og
written pledges to abstain from gam
blink ana excessive drinking are given
t'A the Turin studi Medievali by slgnor
6irolamo Biscaro, who has discovered
hhree such documents I'm the archives
of Milan. The first of these records Is
an oath sworn on the gospels by Gfa-
como Pasquall and Armanino Duco
to the effect that for two years ther
will abstain from gambling IN Pavia
or within three miles thereof and win
likewise refrain from inducing othegs
TO gamble on their behalf. The penal
ty for any breach Of this oath is fixed
at soldi, payable to Papio Bovatorio.
In the second document Perano de
Bono promises Uberto de Proto 70
abstain from gambling for a certain
period, exception being maue GA De-
half OF the game OF bismentiro. at
which. however, he was not to lose
more than 2 denari on any one day
Further he undertakes not to visir
any Inn for drinking purposes before
the hour OF vespers on Monday. A
| breach of either clause of the pledge
involves the payment of soldl TO De
Proto. BY the third document Sileto
Ferrario expressed his willingness TO
pay - denari to his brother LamperiO
should he be persuaded to play for
money in any place OF public resort or
to spend more than denari on intoxL
cants in any one day.
The motive for these contracts is not
/ stated, but It is presumed that they
were entered into by employees whose
masters wished ic keep their proclivi-
ties In cheek There is nothing in the
documents to suggest the existence Os
any organization for the promotion OF
Temperance. The honor OF being first
In the field in this respect therefore
still rests with Germany. where two
! Temperance societies were founded in
the sixteenth century.
OF these the Order OF st. Christie
pher was formed by Sigismund de
Diettrichsttm on Jan. is, 1917 and tho
Order OF Temperance 10y the lan6grave
Of Hesse on Dec. %. 1000. The mem
bers Of the one order were pledged TO
abstain from toast drinking, and the
members OF the other undertook not
to drink more than seven glasses OF
liquor Mt time. and that not ofteneT
than twice day.-Chicago News.

HOW HE SLEPT.

His Experience With a Noisy and Per-
sistsnt Cuckoo Clock.
wertz recently was presented with
an old fashioned clock. That evening
he hung 1t on his bedroom wall, wound
it up and after admIring 1t awhile
went to sleep He was drifting into
very pleasant dreams when he was
startled
"COo-cOo, coo-coO!'
wertz sat up with a start, but In an
instant recovered his wits and listened
to eight more coo-coos with foolish
grin. Then he lay back and went TO
sleep again.
He had got into 6ne doze by the
time the thing went OF again. This
time he didn't grin.
Weriz Is a light sleeper and, though
he tried 10 get used TO the thing, he
gave up after the cuckoo had announc-
ed 9 O'Clock and got mp ard stopped
the clock.
Next evening Wertz junior, who had
not seen the clock, went to look at It.
'"why, it's stopped" he said, What
Is wrong?"
Wertz senior stroked his chin,
Maybe I didn't wind II this morn
ing" he replied. "Ferd,' he continued
generously, III you will promise to
wind that clock every morning I'll let
you have It for your room"
wertz junior was delighted. and the
transfer was made.
At the breakfast table next morn
! ing the heir OF the kouse OF Wertz
looked tired and somewhat sheepish,
but offered no explanation. After con-
siderable general conversation his ia.
ther said:
''You look tired How did you sleep
last nights"
Wertz junior yawneds

made her departure amid like cere-
monies there was no need Of the sales
woman botherlng her head over sug

present wanted n gown copied from
the one the princess had bought, and
she got 1t after much pleading aud Al
price far beyond the limit she had
set.
And the point of this fable IS this;
The princess was no princess. but an
employee OF the house.
Every French gown has two prices--

It is needless to say which is the

Along about April the cry goes up.

Along about November. when the
