Somewhat Irreverent.

A Washington educator is telling a
good story about young medical
friend of his who is interested in in
sanity symptoms and is sort of anna
teur alienist. The other day the
student got chance to visit one of
the wards in the Asylum for the In
sane, and having heard that there was
a man confined there who labored I'M
der the hallucination that he was God,
the student asked that he be allowed
to see this patient first, as he ap-
peared the most promising for inves-
tigation. He was taken to the ward
where the lunatic was confined and
the following conversation ensued:
Student-Are you the Deity?
Lunatic-From the everlasting unto
everlasting / am he.
Student-Well, I've been looking for
you for a long time. / have a ques-
ton to ask you. How do you reconcile
the doctrines of predestination and
free will?
The lunatic drew himself up to his
full height and giving the medico
scornful glance, replied: my dear sir,
never talk shop"

TRAGIC STORY FROM ITALY.
of Peasant Resulted In
Loss of Three Lives.

Very dramatic and terrible is the
story of the vengeance of an Italian
peasant on brother who had ill-treat.
ed him, as reported in Rome recently
from Rivi, in the Abruzzi. The man
who sought vengeance was about So
years of age, and some u years ago
quarreled with his brother, man II
years older than himself, over some
property. The elder brother drove
the younger from his home, and he
departed, coWing vengeance. Nothing
was, however, heard of him until the
day Of the tragedy, when he came
back to Rivi, and at once went to see
his brother, now SO, who was lying ill
in bed. Forcing his way into the pres.
ence of the sick man, he cried: "Ven-
geance at last!" and stabbed him
again and again with dagger. Hear
ing horrible cries from the bedroom,
lad of IA, nephew of the two men,
went to see what was the matter. No
sooner had he entered the room than
the murderer shot him dead with a
pistol. Then the assassin attempted
to escape, and jumped from a window,
but in doing so fractured his leg. Real
izing that he must be captured, and
seeing some peasants coming towards
him, he drew the dagger with which
he had slain his brother, and plunged
it into his heart.

Diplomats Are Welcomed.

From the social viewpoint the ma
tional capital is to be congratulated
on the recent acquisition to the diplo-
matte corps. Two bachelor ministers,
the former Swedish and Danish, have
been replaced by ENJOYS who have
charming families. In the case Of the
German ambassador, though Washing
ton will not forget the Won Sternbergs,
the new representative of the kaiser
has, besides an affable and socially
inclined wife, a charming young
daughter. Count Won Bernstorff and
his family are at present -domiciled in
the Shoreham, awaiting the arrival Of
their household treasures from Eu-
rope The German embassy, which was
entirely dismantled after the death
of Baron Won Sternberg, is now in
state of renovation and will be newly
painted and adorned from basement to

NEVER HARD TO DISTINGUISH
Visitors to Washington Easily placed
by Hotel Clerk.


Can you tell what state q person
is from when you first meet him, pro-
syiding he does not tell you?" Wash
ington apartment house clerk was
asked.
Not so much the state, but GER
tafnly the section of the country" was
the response. Il would not guarantee
to tell man from Kansas from one
from Missouri, hut I would know at
a glance whether man was from the
north, south, east or west. There is
something almost indefnabIe both in
appearance and manner that enables
one with experience behind a hotel
desk or apartment house register to
recognize at once the section Of the
country stranger Is from, even be-
fore word is spoken. OF course, mis-
takes can be made, but they are few.
1t is just the same sort of intuition
that hotel clerk has when he is
confronted by some one whom he sus,
poets as bad customer He cannot
tell why; the persons appearance and
manner show not fault that can be
pointed out, and yet he feels that the
person will need watching, and he
rarely goes wrong"
Can l tell what state person is
from by looking at him?'' asked an.
other. Sometimes. But it is much
easier after few words have passed.
do not mean all states, but there are
some ways of telling what state man
Is from, and then you can always spot
the part of the country man Is from.
For instance, there is something
breezy about westerners that attracts
your admiration. Then, of course, you
can always tell man from New York
city. There is no one else that dresses
like him or is like him in manner. The
men from the south are slouchy in
their dress. l do not mean anything
uncomplimentary by this. They may
be we'll dressed, but slouchy. They
wear SLOUGH hats a great deal, for in.

Have Lost All Family Ties.

OF the destruction of Messina a by
result is the loss of lineage and all
trace of family. Many children, too
young to know their surnames or to
pronounce them intelligibIy, have been
rescued, and their names, fortunes, IT,
ties, descents and origin have been
absolutely cut off. They can tell no
more than that they are .Bimbo' or
"Bambina," "Nino" or Nina Many
are obviously children whom women
of rank have borne and loved and
nurses tended. italians take root in
their provincial cities and it often
happens that a family has no connec-
tons beyond the walls. Even if dis

not recognize childre4- so young. Docu-
ments exist to attest the civil stand
