Tho Revolution.

Who knows why this country is not
part Of the British empire? Because.
you will say, the early Americans OBJ
jected to the British system Of taxa
ton without representation. That is
what most Of the histories say. but it
is not quite true. In the first place, the
colonists objected to taxation with or
without representation when the mon
ey was to be used for an army to keep
out the Indians. The colOnists were
foolish enough to think that such an
army was not needed. But after they
had begun their war and called them
selves independent the British govern
ment agreed to all the demands the
colonists had made. There was no
longer any danger of taxation without
representation. The Americans were
left without anything very important
to fight for legally. but that did not
stop their fighting.-Chicago News.

cARuso's AFFINITY CASE

Rome, July 7--Some salacious testi-
mony is expected to be introduced in
the separation suit of Nine. Giachetti,
the woman who for years was suppos-
ed to be the wife of Signor Bnrico Ca
russo the famous tenor, but who in
reality was and still is the wife of
Signor Gino Botti, when the suit COM
es up for trial at Florence tomorrow.
Nine. Giachettto has been separated
from her husband for ten years. She
was singing in the opera house at
Florence when Caruso met her and the
two became infatuated. They con-
tracted a union, from which two chill
dren resulted, and which lasted for
many years. Then their relations be-
came strained and eventually they
separated. Caruso making her an al
lowance of $1,000 a year for the sup
port of the children. This amount ap-
parently was not deemed sufficient by
eled to New York early last winter,
where Caruso was filling an engage
ment at the Metropolitan opera house,
and after several stormy scenes at the
hotel the famous tenor is reported to
have paid her considerable sum on
condition that she return Immediately
to Europe which she did.
But recently Nine Giachetti has felt
the need of more money and accord
ingly went to leading society of Mi
Ian for loan of $4,000 it is said. The
society was willing to lend the sum,
but demanded that the Caruso set
tlement of $1,000 year be given as
security. While Nine. Giachetti re-
mains the wife of Signor Botti she
cannot get the loan without his con-
sent, and so she instituted the present
action to make her separation legal.
Should the husband decide to contest
the suit it is expected that much of
the story at present merely supposi-
tion will be brought out at the hear
ing. -

A most remarkable little man is
Prince Atom, the smallest midget in
the world. The prince, who is soon to
visit this country, stands just a little
over two feet high ard is built in ex-
cellent proportion. Although such a
tiny fellow, he is the son of parents Of
normal size. He Is well educated,
speaking several languages. His title,
of course, is purely fanciful as he is
not of royal blood.
For his size the prince is endowed
with considerable muscular strength,
and he is a skilled acrobat. Being
fond of active sports. the little man has
become expert in tumbling and other
athletic feats. Recently he appeared
before the children Of the crown prince
of Germany at Berlin and won their
hearts no less by his wit than his
physical feats.
