How Helena Helped Crippled Ital-
ian Boy.
Makes Protege Of Small Lad She
Found Suffering and Sad by the
Seashorc-Affected by the
Youngsters Pessimism.

Rome.-Queen Helena has added an
other 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 news
papers.
Her majesty accompanied King Vic
tor 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 excur
sion In the neighboring district. The
royal motor car stopped near light
house, and the queen noticed Grip
pied boy dragging himself slowly and
painfully along the beach by the aid OF
a pair of rough and RECONSTRUCTED
crutches.
Approaching the poor boy, Queen
Helena asked him few questions
Though a 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 fllustrious lady, he replied in q
melancholy fashion, saying, in effect,
that his sufferings were beyond hui
man endurance, and that he de-
sired nothing better than prompt
termination of his bitter existence.
The queens tender heart was deeply
touched by the precocious pessimism
of this youthful disciple of Schopen.
hauer, who further explained that he
lived alone with his father, the light
house keeper his mother having
eloped with lover some years ago.

A Hay Ride and Corn Party.

Days by the shore are simply glori-
GUS this month; the winds have COM
menced to sing the requiem, and there
is beauty in nature which seems to
come only with the August moon.
But started out to tell of hay ride
and corn party that was bowling
success in every sense of the word.
The hostess appointed a common
meeting place, where the great farm
farm wagons with four horses awaited
the guests. After merry ride of ten
miles, made gay with resounding
horns, campfire was built, table put
up on sawhorses with the long boards
that had been brought on the wagon,
and the corn feast began.
The hostess had gotten stunning
corncob place" cards, corn-decorated
nut holders, popcorn done up in green
crepe paper to look like ears of corn.
There were boiled ears, roasted ears,
corn fritters~ (the batter made at
home and carried in a glass jar) with
maple syrup. OF course there were
potatoes-sweet and Irish-roasted in
the Goals, and lots of sandwiches,
plain and filed with minced ham.
The candy was an exact reproduc-
ton of corn kernels. 1t was given
in little boxes shaped like ears of
corn.
A secret of her picnic was revealed
by this young woman, who is noted for
this form of hospitality. She said she
never asked more than IL to her out
door affairs, and took especial pains to
keep the guests who were congenial
in groups, and always provided man
for every girl, if married couples were
not invited.
Then she considered always who
was to be hidden to picnic, for there
are those who loathe outdoor spreads,
and those who "hate" formal dinners.
The successful hostess is the one who
discriminates closely regarding guest
and function.

A Simple Party.


This is certainly most amusing
affair and will repay hostess for the
trouble of arranging for it. But then
to be a successful hostess the labor
that precedes an event should never
enter into the calculations. There
must be an equal number of men and
women; eight couples make a party
easily provided for.
In the invitations to the girls the
hostess requests a sample of the gown
which they will wear and to the men
the missives request sample of the
necktie; these to be sent in advance
to the hostess. The samples are neat
ly mounted on Sample" cards, and
the neckties passed to the girls; the
way partners are found for the prog
ressive conversation which will be
! passed, and the men are to write de-
scriptions of the gown, the sample of
which fell to their lot, and the girls
are to write about the ties, material,
style, etc. Five minutes will be given
to these descriptions, and then the pa

COSTLY PRIZE OFFERED.
w. X. Kellogg Of Battle Creek, Mich,
Gives $1,000 Trophy to BE Com.
peted for by the Farmers.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, July 2s.-For
the purpose of stimulating the interest OF
the farmers of the country in the i'm
provement of the grade of corn and in Sc
curing greater yield, w. X. Kellogg of
this city has offered a gold and silver
trophy to be competed for at the third
annual national corn exposition to be held
at Omaha, Neb., Dec. to Is Of this year.
The trophy will be known as the W. K.
Kellogg National Corn Exposition trophy,
will cost $1,000, and will become the per-
sonal property of any exhibitor winning it
twice. The trophy will be in the shape
of massive vase, and will probably be
designed and built by either Gorham or
Tiffany.
Mr.. Kellogg has just returned from Chi
lessor P. G. Holden of the Iowa State Ag-
ricultural College at Ames, and Stanley
Clague, head of a large Chicago advertis.
ing agency. Professor Holden is known as

ments tending to improve the quality of
the cereal. This year he has donated
$1,000 to be divided in several prizes
among the corn growers Of Iowa, and at
to offer the Kellogg trophy to be competed
for by the corn growers of the nation.
Corn is the greatest crop of the coun.
try, said Mr.. Kellogg today, 'and the big
ger the yield of corn the greater the coun-
try's prosperity. Seed selection and i'm
proved methods of cultivation will not only
greatly increase the yield per acre, but will
also increase the protein! in the corn and
thus enhance its nutritious qualities. If
the yield per acre, for instance, can be in.
creased five bushels in the state of Ne
braska alone, it will add $25, 600 900 to the
wealth Of the farmers of the state. The
National Corn Exposition is doing great
work in educating the farmers, and am
glad to help the work along"
