Mhers Chess Is Most Popular.

Games may come and games may 60,
but chess bids fair never to loss It's
popularity Nowhere else is it so popu.
i,r rs it Is in the village Of StrObeck,
rear ualberstadt, in Prussian SnXony.
= mo lime in the eleventh century
.'ount Grnnelin, held prisoner in a
ctone tower in the village, amused
Himself by carving set of chesslnel
and teaching the game to his jailers.
The tower, which still stands, IS known
ns the Chess tower. The jailers taught
the game to their friends who were 50
nleased with 1t that they devoted all
their spare time to practice. This de-
light in chess continues TO the present
IN Strobeck. Every person plays. The
village hotel is called the Chess inn,
tournaments are held every year, AMI
prizes are given to the best players. If
a young man goes to an adjoining vii
lage for a wife who cannot play chess
he must pay a fine. to be used toward
the expenses Of the next tournament.
This subtle ordinance has spread 4
knowledge Of the game among the
young ladies of all the surrounding vii

The total amount CT excavation
since Nav 1904 has been - 124 $40

Of this, more than che half, or
80. O59 $50 cubic yards, have been
taken out in the last twelve months.
1t is estimated that there remain

THE GIRL WHO WANTS TO STE
Thf WORLD"


Il had a good home and every
thing that the average girl has
perhaps more. But | was full of life
full of bubble. | was emotional
| wanted to be petted, to go. to
be admired" This is Helen Boyle
speaking-Heen Boyle, as the Judge
sentences her to prison: the words
of a woman whose life of gayety and
sin ends in crime and punishment.
1t is the same old story OF the
girl who is tired of her life at home
a nd who freaks out all restraint
and runs away to see the world.
And when she does she almost
invaribly sees the worst Of it.
Mary McLane in her confessions
voiced the discomfort, the petu-
lance. the wild and impossible
longings and imaginings of the girl
who is tired of home. knowing
nothing of life or its dangers, the
disconnected girl imagines that all
the outside world is full of excite
ment and adventure, and that it Is
cruel fate that keeps her tied
down to narrow life, with the
same people morning, noon and
night, the same round of daily du-
ties, the same monotony that makes
life at times seem 50 dismal and
dull.
Just a few weeks ego Adele Boas
the daughner of a wealthy New
York manufacturer. left her home
without word of explanation.
Her father and mother in dis
trcss searched all New York for
her. I'll e. sought and sought for
any clae that would point to her
fate. The father offered reward
of ten thousand dollars for the sac
return of his daughter. Coming
50 soon after the kidnapping of
Willie Whitla, the parents feared
that their little girl had been stolen
and was held for ransom. They
feared that even a worse fate had
befallen her. And after a while
was found in Boston, and her only
explanation was that she had lett
home just because she wanted to
see the world.
Little girl, you may think your
life is dull and that the rest of the
world is enjoying itself in one long
round of pleasure. You may think
your parents are rather uninterest-
ing people and that by their rules
and restrictions they arc just keep
ing YOU from having a good time.
But there is many girl who has
wandered away out into the world,
who longs and prays for some such
sheltered nook where love and peace
and quietness dwell.
Once you go through that door
into the outside world. you leave
the charmed circle and find your
self in a maze Of dangers you never
dreamed. 1t is a magic door that
holds safe all those within, but sell
dom opens again to those who
have passed through it and try to
return, When q girl wan 'ers out
into the wide world she finds q
thorn in every rose, a serpent at
the bottom Of every glass.
Helen Boyle went out to see the
world. She has seen it, has seen
its gayety and glitter, its sins and
its sorrows. Her pretty face is in
the rogue's gallery and her name is
byword and reproach. And
the years of her life in which the
woman of the home blossoms into
fullest flower will Helen Boyle spend
in the darkness and dispair of
