a Washington physician and won
her love.
Father Zelaya objected, and or
dered the Nicaraguan legation to
kidnap Alphonse. Minister Cora
hired detectives and spirited AL

THE SON RETURNED.
This was enacted in the heart of
Washington, and caused a sensa-

way of New Orleans and set to
work. He fled, returned to America
and married Miss Baker.
They lived in style for a while,
but Father Zelaya would not relent.
The money supply was cut off, and
Zelaya told his son to go to work
to support his bride.
The bride Endorsed her father in

duty to arrange matters to the best

ordinary household punctuality can
easily be insisted upon. Many

In such houses there is no meth

Waging War on Barbarism.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin
More than forty counties in eastern
Kentucky are asked to send delegates to

slider methods OF enforcing respect for
law, the suppression OF Illicit distilling
and the elimination of the savage per
sonal and family "feuds" which have long

the courts.
Numerous business men and substan-
tial citizens generally are said to be be-
hind this movement. which is described
as having its inception in the belief thai
outside capital has been deferred from
seeking investment by the chronic law
lessness which has obtained over wide
areas whose rich natural resources laAe
remained undeveloped.
Whatever the motive for the present
crusade may be. il will be signal gain

TRAINING FOR SOCIETY.
Be Quiet-Don't Screech From One
Room to Another.

From HarperS Ba7ar.
A woman who after years of humble
living in the middle west was waited
unexpectedly to Newport on the wings OF
sudden wealth and there succeeded in
making good is said to have done SO
with the aid of a trainer-a social trainer,
of course.
This trainer when asked what was
the first thing he taught the invader said:
ITO be quiet. She had habit Of call
ing her servants, her children-Whomeyer
she wanted to speak to. She Is OF an
energetic, hustling dispositions: the first
thing she had to learn was to make no
more noise than was absolutely necessary.
Then 1 engaged an elocution teacher for
her You wouldn't believe the improve
ment he made in her voice.
The fact is that women can have free
elocution lessons by taking some trouble
ana thought about it. when We go
to church or to a lecture, to a club meet
ing or a political meeting, we can listen
speak we'll and try to learn from them
what qualities to cultivate, while from the
bad speaker we shall learn to be on the
lockout for the same faults in ourselves
ami try to overcome or at least to modify
them.
1T is far more important for the aver
age woman that she should speak well
than that she should sing we'll. People
arc rot forced 10 listen TO your singing,
but your friends, your family, your fell
low-citizens have to hear you talk.
Avoid making unnecessary noise. Be
as nearly noiSeless in your house as you
can be. so shall your neighbors bless you
and your landlord refrain from raising the
rent.
Never call to your children or YOUR
servants If they are in another part of
the house either ring for them or go
find them. a screech is an offense
against humanity. If You a-e IL j hotci
train or in any public place maintain
that golden silence which should be the
ideal OF every traveller.
