EARLY Earrinos.

The earring is not II modern inven-
tion. for more than twenty centuries
ago the daughter OF Aristotle wore
golden hoops. The philosophers daugh-
ter's earrings were found In her tomb
near Chalcis. In Euboea, by exploring
archaeologists. aud certainly modern
workmanship cannot produce their
equal. In each golden hoop swung 4
tiny dove, with precious stones for
eyes and bands of minute gems to
give the color of the irdeScent breast
and wings. The feathers were of gran
ulated gold. and the tail feathers were
so marvelously wrought and adjusted
that they acted like balance. as in
living bird. so that the exquisite minia-
ture creatures whenever the wearer
moved or laughed or tossed her head
would move and balance themselves
upon their pendent perches.

John Bennett looked at his watch
and yawned wearily. Ii was two
hours before the eastbCund train would
leave Chicago. With an expression of
boredom he stroled le!suTeiy up the
street. his eyes straying listlessly from
side to side. He had the air of man
whom life has ceased to interest.
The hurrying crowds met and passed
him. pretty, fair haired girl brushed
by, and he glanced at her with the
quickening of sudden interest, then his
face settled into its former expression.
Every light haired woman he had
met for the past two months had
gained from him that quick look. 1t
had become a habit with the man,
but he looked in vain for the face of
Evelyn Chester.
They had met in Denver the latter
part of the winter and had become en-
gagged. She was travelling with her
mother ard father. The latter was in
the last stages of an illness.
Finding no relief in the western eli
mate. Mr.. Chester had suddenly de-
cidcd to return east by easy stages.
They had no permanent home. and Eve
lyn, in view OF this, had promised to
write as soon as she had arrived in
New York.
Weeks slipped by, then months, and
still no word from Evelyn. Bennett
had at last started east in the hope
of getting some trace of the Chesters.
The thought of Evelyn and her un-
accountable silence was so constantly
in his mind that the sight of every
fair haired girl stirred his heart with
forIorn hope.
On his way up the street he had
reached one of the moving picture the

The performance had begun and he
listened half heartedly to the illus.
trated song. his thoughts still on the
vanished Evelyn. Had she repented
of her promise to him? He could not
believe that. Had she been swallowe
up by some dreadful trouble? He must
find her.

she started for the car, wearily lug
ging the camera and tripod. The cars
were thronged with workmen return
ing to their homes and she had to
wait some time before there came one

pushed her way across the platform
and just inside the doorway. The legs
of the tripod rested on the floor at her
side. and she was trying to brace her
self against the door when woman
who had been sitting in the corner
suddenly rose from her seat and gem

man into it. with the remark. Now

The girl remained seated passively
and looked puzzled for a moment.
Then dull flush covered her face.

man saw the tripod legs and thought
they were crutches. She thinks I'm

seat and tried not to show her face

lege Of controlling over S4G0. 100000 of

An lbsen Memorial.

The admirers OF Ibsen have a prof
ect TO acquire the apothecary's shop at
Grimstadt where Ibsen was appren-
ticed from 1914 to 1850 and restore it
to it's appearance at that period as a
memorial of the author of "Hedda
Gabler." The appeal sent out states
that the old house of the apothecar.
Reimann still exists, and it is almost
in the same state as when Ibsen dwelt
there. Almost all the fittings still ex-
list and can be purchased. The whole
place. the shop, the laboratory and the
rooms, will certainly prove Of the
greatest interest, and the committee
expresses the opinion that future gen.
erations will be grateful to those who
have prevented the house and its sur
,oundings from falling to decay.

One Of the most unusual defensive
works in the world has been erected
by the war department on El Fraile
island. one of the four islands which
form chain across the mouth of Ma
nila bay. All these islands have been
strongly fortified in order to prevent
a foreign fleet from entering the bay.
On FL Fraie island has been built
fixed battleship of concrete having two
steel turrets in each of wnich are
mounted two fourteen-inch guns.
These turrets can be trained in any
direction by the gun crew inside.
The original plan for the fortifcation
OF FL Fraile contemplated the enlarge
ment OF the island, which is small
and narrow and the establishment of
an ordinary fort. This plan, however,
was abandoned in favor OF the con
crete battleship. which has been prac-
tically completed. The fourteen inch
guns mounted in turrets on El Fraile
are operated by the general fire con
troll station on Corregidor island.

Billboard Fight on Tuberculosis to Be
Nation Wide.
Preparations have been nearly COM
pleted for nationpI Sl.0o0.0U0 poster
campaign against tuberculosis. which
will be substantially supported by bill.

ever growing fight with the disease.
The National Association For the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis.
the Associated Bill Posters and Dis
tributers of America and the Poster
Printers Association of the United
States have united In the distribution
and putting up of large posters feet
wide by feet inches high Three
smaller posters which will be pat out
are labeled as follows: Remember.
consumption kills one In every ten in
this district" Consumption can be
prevented" and cause OF consump-
ton" Each of the three smaller post
ers has rules inscribed for the preven-
ton Of the disease.
The campaign is an outcome of the
last convention of the billposters. at
which time resolution was adopted
granting free of charge to the National
Associa tion For the Study and Preven-
tion of tuberculosis space on all the
billboards controlled by the organiza-
tion, located in 3,400 towns and vii
lagos Of the United States.
The national association was con-
frontcd then with the difficulty OF get
ting funds to print the posters and was
aided by the poster printers. who Of
fered TO do the printing free. Paper
manufacturers then were appealed to.
and this resulted In enough paper be-
ing secured to start the printing of 15.-
600 posters The sketches for the de
signs were solicited from artists in and
around New York
Through the generosity of the differ
ent groups the national association is
able to inaugurate one of the largest
billposting campaigns ever undertaken
by phianthropic organization. Phil
Il. Jacob. assistant secretary of the as
sociation, says that 100000 posters
will be pasted on billboards in every
l state Of the Union. The posters are
designed to show graphically how con-
sumption can be cured and prevented.
1t is expected that the poster cam
| paign will stimulate interest in every
/ locality in the United States for the
| prevention and cure of the disease.
| The association intends to put out
/ other designs later.
Association members argue that per-
! sons who should take an interest in
the campaign against tuberculosis are
not attracted by small pamphlets upon
| the subject. so must be attracted in
| this striking manner. The undertake
! ing has necessitated a large outlay to
! cover mailing expenses.

Berru, near Rheims France. Latham
went thther from his aviation garage
at Mourmelon. a distance of about
nAast1en miles, In his Antoinette mon
op!hSe in just half an hour He took
double barreled shotgun and a sup
ply of ammunition with him in the

He landed at the Marquis de Poll
gnac's shooting box, breakfasted with
the party, took part in the hunt and flew
back to Mourmelon four hours later,
carrying on the monoplane not only
the shotgun, but also the bag OF game,
mostly pheasants, which he had killed.
Great interest in the feat was shown
by the hunting party. The members
Of 1t were watching for Latham, and
the monoplane was made out while 1T
was still far away. 1t appeared very
small when first seen, but rapidly grew
larger and soon was above the heads
of the huntsmen. Latham made two
circles before he chose a landing place
and then came down easily and landed
without the slightest trouble. 1t was
almost sunset when he started on his
return journey.
