AMBASSADOR
 IN HOT WATER

Rome. October 3O.-(speciaD-wit the reopening of the Italian Parliament, Mo- vember 12, sharp protest against the al- legged apathy of the Ambassador of King Victor Emanuel at Washington, Baron Mayor des Ranches, during the late re- vision of the American customs tariff by the Congress of the United States, will be registeral by formal interpolation of Pre- mier Giolitti upon the floor of the Cham Der of Deputies.
 It is expected that unless the minister of foreign affairs of Italy. M Tittoni, succeeds in entering a convicting defense, not only Baron des Ranches, but the en- tire present. government of the kingdom will be forced to resign
 A vigorous campaign against the so- called lethargy of the ambassador initia- ted by Joseph Personeni, one of the lead ing Italian-American importers of New York City. and taken up by the Chamber of Commerce and Arts of the Province of Cueno. in the north of Italy, has found an echo throughout the republican and other opposition camps of the realm, and 1t has been made the occasion for con- centrated and determined drive against the existing ministry.
 Chambers of Commerce throughout the country, centered in the Union delle Cam ere al Commercial d'Italia, of Rome, have joined in a demand for the proposed in terpolation of the government.

 Against this new failure of our di- plomacy in North America we register to-day our sharpest censure. It is evident that the non-success of our government in these negotiations with the United States demonstrates the in- capacity Of M. Tittoni in the simplest

 The critics of the ambassador point to the fact that France and Germany, through their respective embassies at Washington derived special advantages from the tariff changes.
 In defense of his policy, Baron Mayor des Planches has circulated in Italy a let ter received by him from Francis E. Ham, ilton, attorney of No. 32 Broadway, New York, who represented the associa- ted lemon, grape, olive and wine growers of Italy before the congressional com mittees charged with the consideration of tariff alterations.
 MT. Hamilton, who has been a deputy collector of the port of New York, states in behalf of Baron des Ranches that 'the Italian ambassador was practically the most important factor in the presen- tation of foreign interests during the en- tire period from November until June. and the embassies of the European pow CTS almost unanimously looked to the Italian embassy for advice and sugges- tions as to their action in connection with the tariff" and cites instances of the am- bassador's activity in the premises.

 T. J. Noll. dean of the Indianapolis College of Law, is a punster, as most of his students have learned.
 Recently his law class came to Latin term-"causa mortis" The term is used with reference to gifts made before death
 If there was a grandfather" said Pro- lessor Moll, explaining to the class, ''and he, wishing to present his grandson with a gift as he was expecting to die, should give him a COW. thal would be a gift made causa martis.
 However" added Professor Moll, with a twinkle in his eye, If by chance the COW should die before the grandfather, that would be the cows mortis''

When the teller learned that it was my first experience he assured me that 1t would prove very paying business if l could only succeed in keeping in with a few desirable hotel guests as well as the head waiter. He explained that a head waiter was always quick to show extra consideration to a waitress who had a few persons who demanded her services.
 On reporting this bit of advice to my two friends we decided to put it to the test. The head waiter hadn't been par ticularly nice to the largest one of our party. On the first day he had allowed her to stand idle while the other wait resses had their hands more than com fortably full. We also heard him re- mark to the steward that big girls took up more room than could be spared in the dining hall.
 At the end of the week her tips would have fallen far behind ours if 1t hadn't been that on the last two days a fussy old lady with long string of devoted friends and relatives refused all the tables offered them by the head waiter and elected to take one of those assigned to this girl
 This old lady appeared to have the tipping habit. Of course, there was noth- ing, but often when on taking her seat she declared she was in a hurry AS she was the leader of the tribe who sat at that table, what she did the others did also.

PAID EXPENSES
 BY HOTEL TIPS Girls Have a Pleasant Summer
 Vacation AND LOSE NO SELF-RESPECT How One Girl Who Seemed to Be in Disfavor Won the Respect of the officious Head Waiter-De-
 manded Her Service.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald
 Three young women studying music have paid their expenses for the last three years with money earned as wait resses in a summer hotel. They leave the city the first week in June and re- turn the last of September, and have all ways been employed by the same hotel
 Our wages are s20 a month and tips That is what we were told when we were first engaged one of the three girls told the reporter. AS we are all three of American birth and parentage we had our doubts about accepting tips when we started out. but before we had an opportunity to put our theories of uplift- ing the profession into practice the head waiter interviewed us.
 He offered to put the hotel guests known to give the most generous tips at our table, with the understanding that 50 per cent was to be given to him. Of course that was a new phase of the bus mess to us, but, on consultation with several of the girls who had been there before. professional waitresses. we learned that unless we accepted these terms we would lose our places inside a. month.
 'Fhe fact that the head waiter had made the same promise to each and ev- cry one of the girls under him didn't seem the least bit unusual to one of the waitresses we talked to- She assured us that they all did the same-that is, all head walters.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-10-31

''T'hey were new to the hotel and it took the head waiter some few days to find out just how generous they all were to the waitress. Then, if you please he tried to induce them to change their table. When this was refused he had our friend change tables with waitress in another part of the room.
 If this hada happened before I received my tip from the bank teller my friend might have lost her one steady family and her best tips. Fortunately she had provided against just such a move She had given that table her especial atten- ton.
 Tn consequence the old lady positively refused to be served by any other wait ress. Of course, there was nothing for the head waiter to do but to give her back to them. From that minute his manner of treating that girl was so changed that all the waitresses noticed it. gained a customer who preferred her services, but one that would speak up and refuse every one else
 After that episode we had no further fear of losing our positions in the hotel, for 1t soon began to fill up so rapidly that we all had as much as we could possibly do The work of waitress is not easy. A girl who is either delicate or unwilling to do strenuous work should never undertake it.
 We went on duty at [ in the morn ing and seldom got off before 12:30 Of course these hours seem very long, but when you remember that we had the afternoon to ourselves and every other morning I didn't feel that we had too much to do for what we got out of it.. Excepting our room rent and two wait resses' dresses we had no extra expense.
 Our food, which was very good, we got at the hotel, and they also supplied us with aprons and caps.
 Last year we had a large room in a very nice house near the hotel for which we paid 8 week Our piano cost us $4 a month and each of us managed to get two hours a day practice Being three together we don't need to make friends to keep ourselves from getting lonely, but as many of the wait resses were students working their way We have made some very pleasant ac- ouaintances Some summer hotels make speciality of only taking students to wait in their dining rooms, put the hotel where we go takes any seif-respectine young woman with the necessary oualin- cations. Those are the words used by the management when we made our ap- l plication.

NAPoLEoN'S BIRTHPLACE
To Be Exploited in the Interest or
 Tourists.

Paris, October cial)-Napoleon's s birthplace at Ajaecio, Corsica, is to be exploited in the tourist interest. In re- cent years there has been an increasing number of visitors to tine early home or the Man of Destiny. and it is now pro- nosed to establish a small museum there and make a charge for admission.
 The Bonaparte home is quaint old yellow Italian villa, with windows nearly always shuttered up. It stands in mar row street, and is undistinguished from it's neighbors save for a marble slap over the doorway iwth the inscription: Here was born, the 18th of August, lib9' the founder of the imperial dynasty.
 In front of the house is small garden iwth palms, cactus and other semtropl- cal vegetation characteristic of the is land.

 President and Mrs. Hadley were on a train bound for New York. where Yale's president was to speak before a national convention. He made use of the hour and 20 minutes he spent in the train by rehearsing his speech In a low voice, us- ing his hands to emphasize certain pas sages.

 ''They could go to another hotel and have exactly the same rood for less money. but it would not be served with the same degree of elegance. They show the same taste when they buy thelr clothes at an exclusive shop, when they might get the same garment Tor less money at a department store The great difference is that at the exclusive shop they have to pay extra, while with us thev don't have to tip the waiter.
 "Of course the amount of the tips largely depends on the character Of the house Even with 10 cents person, which is the least I have ever heard or being given, the amount soon becomes worth while to the woman who Is work ing for her living.
 "At our hotel, each girl had assigned to her four tables seating four each. Even from the first we always could count on having those tables filled twice during each meal, while in the height or the season it was not unusual for us 10 have three times and often nve tunes as many.

by beautiful grounds ornamented with

him with the possibilities OF the pine

There is also what is known as the

and extending to the western limits of
the county, where numerous young
orange groves, and some older ones, are
thriving,
Another industry which assumes
large proportions is that of fishing.
