QUEENS HEART WAS TOUCHED
STORY OF HOW SHE HELPED
CRIPPLED ITALIAN BOY.
Makes Protege of Small Lad She
Found Suffering and Sad by
the Seashore.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
ROME, July 5.-Queen Helena has ad-
ded another recruit to the legion of
her small proteges. The story of how
Michael Gallo managed to attract the
queens attention is told by the Roman
newspapers.
Her majesty accompanied King
Victor when the latter went to Brindisi
to meet the German emperor. When the
meeting was over the king and queen
went for a long motor excursion In the
neighboring district. The royal motor
car stopped near a lighthouse. and the
queen noticed a crippled boy dragging
beach by the aid Of pair of rough
and Demonstrated crutches.
Approaching the poor boy. Queen
Though boy OF quick intelligence.
Michael Gallo. such was the cripple's
name. did not realize that the solitary
couple were the king and queen. To
the consoling words spoken to him by
the i'lustrious lady. he replied in a
melancholy fashion, saying, in effect,
that his sufferings were beyond human
better than a prompt termination o. his
bitter existence. The queens tender
heart was deeply touched by the pre-
cocious pessimism of this youthful dis
ciple of Schopenhauer, who further ex-
planned that he lived alone with his
father, tire lighthouse keeper, his mother
having eloped with lower some years
ago.
Her majesty, taking the boy's hands
in hers, spoke to him words of love and
hope, and promised to have him treated
by a skillful doctor. AS the poor little
cripple listened to such motherly con-
solations as he had never heard before,
his eyes filled with tears. and, calling
the queen by the sweetest names that
the Italian language contains he COW
cred her majesty's hands with kisses,
while the king. evidently affected by the
scene, turned away to conceal his emo
ton.
After taking an affectionate farewell
of little Michael the king and queen
departed. Inquiries showed that the
cidld's narrative was perfectly true, SO
her majesty sent some money TO the
lighthouse keeper and asked If he would
allow his son to come to Rome to he
taken care OF. 1t is easy to understand
how great was the boys astonishment
when he learned that the ''buona
si9nora' he had met on the beach was
the Queen OF Italy
Michael Gallo. who is now In Rome
under the care of Ii specialist. has com
plately forgotten the pesstmistic pyn-
ciples that had spontaneously serminated
in his little head. His health is improv-
ing. and, much 70 his delight, he tre-
Guently receives d visit from his exalted
patrons.

BERLIN. July 5.--Herr Naximilian Har-

fine OF $50 imposed upon him for lipeling
Count Cuno Won Moltke. and this IN
edifying case is at last dead and done
with.
At the .retrjal Of the dispute a settle

probation put upon his words, and the CO.
prosecutor accepted this deduction. The
court, however, refused to bs bound by
this document. and In the course of the
hearing Count Moltke used expressions
which Herr Harden held to be inconsist-
ent with the settlement. from which he
thereupon withdrew his signature.
June II Count Moltke wrote to Herr
Harden letter In which he expressed
regret If in the excitement OF the mo-
ment he should have employed words
which bear the construction that j did
not adhere strictly to the carefully con-
sidered text and spirit OF the settlement
which were Loyalty observed in your tes-

Couldn't Escape the PIow.

In 1916 Mr.. Rankin attained his ma
jority, and he had to decide what he
should do-and then do it-and right
there he came near to making a vitil
mistake. His boyhood and youth had
been years of hard labor and depriya.
ton, and he had often sighed to be
! rid of it all. In his eyes a clerkship
in country store meant a life OF
ease and affluence so he decided to
become clerk But nobody would hirs
him. The storekeepers didn't seem TO
have much faith in his ability to
measure out sugar and coffee and mo
lasses. So it was back to the farm
for young Rankin, and it Is scarcely
necessary to say he has never regret.
ted his choice, even if it was forced
upon him. Mr.. Rankin began his ca
reer with one bull as assets. He pur.
! chased another to complete the yoke,
paying So for the animal in work. A
new plow-point cost IS, and he had to
| go in debt for that and couldn't get it
until he found friend to go his Sc.
curity. However, Mr.. Rankin never
| begrudges the money invested in farm
| implements.
| In 1847 Mr.. Rankin drove bunch
of cattle to Chicago, driving them
across the prairie SO they could feed
as they travelled. There were no regu-
| lar packing houses in those days, ex.
cept in the winter. They were all
closed in the summer as there was
no such thing as cold storage and re
| frigerating plants.
In 1S4S, Mr.. Rankin ever on the
alert for improved machinery, bought

proved it wasn't necessary.

1t was in 1855 that Mr.. Rankin first
began to make big money. He bought

took them to Paxton, fed them corn.
/ fattened them, and sold them in New

embarked in the broom corn business,

AN OLD NATION A NEW PROBLEM
Terse Comments upon the Christian

BY. WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

Some persons still think of China
only in terms of Chinese laundrymen.
They assume an attitude of rather
contemptuous Indifference toward the
heather Chinese and rather take
credit to themselves for it. They have
no knowledge of the real China, with
Its polished manners. its immemorial
customs, it's classical education, and
its incalculatable wealth in men, min
erals, and merchandise. 1t is altogether
beyond the power of most of US to
visualize a nation of four hundred mill
lion people. So we go on in our prov
incialism, utterly unaware that some
of the gravest problems of the TWEEN
tieth century are being wroght out in
that greatest of all living nations,
which, within the memory of every
person who reads there words. has re-
versed front with respect to all that is
known as Western civilization.
Whoever sets out to know China is
wise with the wisdom of tomorrow.
A great many Westerners have bur
led themselves as leaven in China, and
all unrecognized. their lives and labors
are a factor in the present TRANSFORMED
