From LuciIe's Diary,

Sometimes 1 almost wish that 1 had
not come to Europe, for, although dc
my utmost to be an amiable travelling
companion, Mrs. Townsend and the
girls are always becoming annoyed
with me about the merest trifles.
Mary and Althea were both furious
because l did not introduce to them a
charming young man, Mr. Raimond
whom l met on the boat. I really
thought when they were such wrecks
from seasickness. they would not want
to meet any one, so whenever Mr.. Raj
mono and l were walking the deck to-
gether and they came in sight l made
1t point to turn away-a kindness l
fear they did not appreciate.
One night when I came into Althea'
ard my stateroom, she said to me: do
not be afraid that Mary or I will in
fringe on your monopoly. You can have
him all to yourself"
/ made no reply to this remark,
which was almost illbred, but the next
day, Just to show that / was forglVing,
l introduced to them q rather elderly
college professor and jolly high
school boy with whom had become
acquainted while the girls were still
confined to their staterooms. How
ever, it was useless to try to help them
have a good time, for they declared the
professor a bore ard the boy nui-
sance, so I determined 10 let then
manage their own social affairs.
We had scarcely been in Naples Ions
enough to get our breath before Mrs
Townsend insisted that we go on t.
Rome, where, she said, there was S,
much more of historical interest to see
Why demonstrated, II cam
leave Naples yet, for have promised
to go up Vesuvius with Mr.. RAYMOND
You surely would not want me to b.
SO rude as to break an engagement"
Il do. not desire you to make an en-
gagement without consulting me-" an.
swered Mrs Townsend.5 II don't ap.
prove of Your going on expeditions will

CAN kETCHEL GET IN SHAPE
FOR BOUT WITH LANGFORD,

San Francisco, Aug 15-Stanley
ketchel, who has been matched for il
1O-round glove, contest with Sam
Langford in New York, Sept 3, is in
the wilds of Mendocino county, and is
expected to return here by steamer
from Port Arena. The next vessel
from that place will not reach here I'M
til Monday.
Allowing him very brief rest, he
could hardly get to New York before
Aug. %, which would give him only IL
days for training. This. local sporting
men declare, is not sufficient time in
which to prepare for an encounter with
such man as Langford.

They are all Included. The Bee received q
special dispatch TO this effect yesterday
afternoon, and District Attorney Goss re-
cetved official notification from st. Louis.
While attorneys for the convicted men
profess not to be sure whether they will
appeal to the supreme court Of the United
States or not, United States District At
torney Goss suggests that possibly the su-
preme court may settle the matter for
them failing to issue the writ Of GER

The case of Ralph Kniss, a Luverne Minn.)
young man. who a few weeks ago was
arrested at his Minnesota home and taken
to Deuel. county, South Dakota. to answer
to the charge Of forgery, attracted a great
deal of attention at the time, owing to the
fact that the young man comes from a
highly respected family at Luverne. Since
his arrest he has been in the Deuel. county
jail at Clear Lake 1t now Is reported on
good authority that he has decided to enter
a plea Of guilty and thus secure as light a
term as possible in the Sioux Falls peni-
Tertiary. He is charged with forging the
name OF Attorney Mead OF Clear Lake TO
a check for SO. This made the third time
that he had been arrested on the charge
Of forgery.
