CASTRO IS CONVINCED THAT
HE IS ANOTHER NAPOLEON
Former President Of Venezuela
Leaves Paris for Country In
Which He Has Been De-
throned and Discredted.

Paris.--Cipriano Castro the former
president OF Venezuela and the mem.
bers of his party left this city Thurs
day morning for Bordeaux.
At the railroad station Senior Gas
tro confided to small group of Ven
ezuelan adherents and admirers his
intention of re-establishing bis power
in Venezuela by a revolution, should
this be necessary. After entering the
car, where he donned the gilt EN-.
broidered skull cap that has figured
he was an occupant Of the yellow
house at Caracas. the deposed presi-
dent of Venezuela leaned from a win.
dow and spoke to his countrymen with
an earnestness and passion which left
no doubt in their minds that he was
convinced that he was another Ma
poleon returning from Elba to recon
quer his country.
Castro declared that his trip to
Europe had been misunderstood both
at home and abroad. He had come to
the continent not only because he
needed medical treatment, but also
to serve his country by interesting
foreign capital in Venezuelan indus
tries. He spoke bitterly of the
treachery of Juan Vicente Gomez,
and predicted that those now in con-
troll Of the state would drive the coun-
try into bankruptcy.
In conclusion. Castro denounced as
lies the stories of his fabulous wealth
and said he was not even rich enough
to remain In Europe, where, further
more, life had no attractions for him.
His impassioned nature. he explained

Miss Wilmbers Bravely Remained
with Hilliardson.

and here their horse, spirited ami
NAL, became frightened by the lights
and noise of an automobile that rushed
toward them suddenly from around a
turn in the road
Blinded for the moment by the glare
of the headlights on the automobile.
Hilliardson lost control of the horse,
which dashed over the low bank of the
river, carrying the buggy and its &C.
cupants on to the ice. which, unbroken
close to the shore. was swirling
mass of cakes further toward mid
stream. Seeming its own danger, APP
parently, the horse wheeled about
when close to the water and over
turned the buggy. Hilliardson and
Miss Weinberg were thrown on to the
ice and the young man was stunned.
Under their weight the ice that sup
ported them gave way and the young
woman and her companion were car
ried out into the stream. Miss Wilm-
. berg could have jumped to the firm ice
at the moment the cake she was upon
broke away, but she realized that to
desert her unconscious companion
would mean his death, and she de-
cided to attempt to save him at the
risk of herself.
The piece of ice that supported the
couple remained intact for a journey
of nearly quarter of a mile down
stream, where it was carried beneath
some overhanging bushes that Miss
Weinberg was able to reach and cling
to. Supporting her companion with
one arm. she reached shore by means
of the bushes and revived her com
panion. They found their horse 6
short distance from the place where
the runaway occurred.

A WRONG NOTION.
Every Woman Doesn't Take to House.
keeping Naturally.

Every woman Doesn't Take to House.
keeping Naturally.
The notion seems to be prevalent be-
cause a woman is a woman she ought
to know how to keep house. just as
many think when she becomes a moth
er she will instinctively know how to
care for and bring up the baby.
Both are prevalent notions that have
done much harm. The haphazard
housekeeping that rules in many a
home is often the result of this very
belief that knowledge of homework
will come as naturally as a duck takes
to water.
A girl would not undertake book
keeping or even the most ordinary
business position without having
studied for it to some extent. What
sorry mess she would make of it If
she did, and how quickly she would
lose her position! But girl will enter
blithely into matrimony without the
slightest preparation for the house
keeping that is as sure part of it in
nine cases out of ten as the putting on
of the wedding ring. And housekeep-
ing is business, profession, an art.
AS compared with the ordinary bust
ness life it is as calculus to short di-
vision
If the new housekeeper be an excep-
tional, earnest, ambitious, conscien-
tious girl she may win out in time,
but through much tribulation.
If she be girl of less fine caliber
she struggles along for awhile, then
gives up in despair. Housework be-
comes a synonym Of unpleasant, I'M
congenial work, Of drudgery, and she
drifts into the haphazard, unthrifty
kind that is one of the smoothest worn
roads to the divorce court, though it
is not often so named In the suit.
Training would have obviated all
this and in addition put a keen Joy
into the work she has elected to do of
which the unframed has little compre-
hension.
When a woman thoroughly and sci
entifcally understands housekeeping
1t becomes a delight. 1t is first Joy
to know that she is giving her loved
ones a home in the truest sense Of the
word, bright, beautiful, sanitary,
healthful; to know she is spending the
family income wisely; that she is get
ting value received for her money;
that she is providing nourishing food
so combined chemically at each meal
as to give the highest food value and
the utmost palatableness.
In addition to the Joy of THIS per.
sonal science there is the professional
delight of meeting and mastering the
Problems that arise. They are just as
big as, often far more important and
farreaching than, the problems Of the
business girls day. The unframed do
not know there are such problems, or
II a big matter does come up which
they feel they are not capable of cop
ing with they skirt In a dissatisfied
way around the edge of 1t because
they know not what else to do with it.
| Not so the trained woman. She Crap
| Piles it and conquers it as the stenog-
rapher does hard letter or the book
keeper her trial balance. And she has
the same keen JOY the business woman
experiences in performing her work
well, but with the added happiness
Of knowing this is not business. but
the work of making loved ones happy
