Wrong Identification Made

Mrs. Josephine Munnendin OF 1917
Grove street. Berkeley, created a SEN
sation at san Rafael yesterday after
noon by identifying the remains OF the
deceased as those of her daughter
Fselre of Rawhide. New That identif-
cation lost its force directly, however
as other members of the family de-
clared that the murdered woman could

Little credence is placed in the report

some time and that trunk bearing

Eishinq for Hawks.

Ii Is not often the fortune of fish,
erman to catch hawk with hook and
line, but such an experience befell G.
l.. Freudenberger of Melbourne, Pa.
Mr.. Freudenberger Is an enthusiastic
disciple of Izaak Walton and every
spring goes into the Pocono region for
a few days sport with the brook trout
A few weeks ago he was whipping one
OF the small streams that have made
the region famous as a trout fishing
resort. and with hip boots was wading
In the Icy spring water, casting his
small, feathered flies into every likely
looking pool. when suddenly, in the
middle OF long cast. he felt his rod
jerk and the line buzzed through the
reel fast enough to burn his tackle.
He quickly looked into the air and
saw the hook and flies had been mis-
taken for an insect by large sharp
Skinned hawk, which was doing his
best to fly away with the whole outfit.
man included. Taking in the situation
at glance and excited with the nov
city of his catch, Freudenberger played
the hawk as he would fish.
After a fight of over one-half hour
the bird became exhausted and fiut-
tered to the ground, when the fisher
man picked 1t up, extracted the hook
from its mouth and set 1t free. sad

little story to back up his point OF
view.
Tree at the beginning of his career

Colonel Challice in Alone Tree was
very nervous man In those days. He
was always forgetting his lines. But
as the blind colonel he seemed des-
tined to be particularly nervous. and
therefore he arranged with the
prompter that on the first night, when
ever he forgot speech he should snap
his fingers as signal for help.
The first night came. and Tree
forgot his lines continually. His fin

like an unending package of frecrack.

doomed. but the next morning all the
critics said of him unanimously:

Ing for whs,h an offer of $4,000, 900 Is
said to have been refused and which
is reported to have been stolen from
the Louvre in Paris, for 400 years
has been as much q riddle as the
Sphinx itself. But one man--Solomon
Reinach, brother of the Reinach OF
notoriety in the Dreyfus affair-ever
has been so brazen as to proclaim
the solution of the smile that
wreathes the face of the woman In
the picture. His answer was laughed
to scorn by art critics. Others have
commented on the painting, but Rel
mach alone authoritatively announced
that the mystery was ended.
The Mona Lisa" for four centuries
has stoou a monument to French art.
For four years-1501 to 1504--Da
Vinci, friend of francesca del Gio-
condo Of Florence, spent his spare
moments at work on the painting.
The model was Mona Lisa Gherardini,
third wife of Giocondo. According TO
Reinach, the lovelike expression on
the face of the model is far from in
dicating love.
Reinach asserts that Da Vinci paint
ed the portrait gratis for his friend,
when she was in deep grief, to divert
her mind. He surrounded her with
musicians, singers and buffoons to
keep her in gentle gayety. He worked
at the painting only when a certain
expression appeared on his models
face, brought about by peculiar
strain of music. He bore no love for
her, nor she for him.
Reinach even went so far as to ex-
plain the deep melancholy of Mona
Lisa. He declared that she was mar.
rfed in 1495 and until 1499 had no
children. Then came a daughter. A
death record of Florence. by which 1t
appears that Fanciulia, little daugh-
ter of francesca del Giocondo and his
wife, Mona Lisa, was buried from the
Church of Santa Maria Novella on
June /. 1901, is cited by him.

lily by the French. It was known that
Da Vinci had sold the painting to his
patron, Francis !. Of France. for 1000
gold ecus shortly after its completion.
The king kept it locked jealously in
his gilded room at Fontainebleau,
and upon The death of Francis /.
Louis XIV. had it hung in his bed

demise 1t was transferred to the Salon
Carre, where 1t since had attracted
worldwide attention.
what is she smiling at?" ever has
been the unsolved riddle. To artists
Mona Lisa's smile became in turn OBJ
viously saucy, sportive, flirtatious and
even naughty, while plain people
called her the "jocund one."
Taine discovered in the smile that
Mona Lisa had been at least flirting
with Leonardo da Vinci, flattering him
and railing against her husband
Michelet, the historian, said that he
used to 90 to the portrait "in spite Of
himself as the bird goes to the
snake" Theophile Gautier discovered
that the subject Of tho painting was
flirting with the whole world, this
strange creature whose look promises
unknown joys and whose expression is
divinely ironic." "She smiles with
mocking voluptuousness on the thou
sands who admire her." was the COM
ment of Arsene Houssaye, manager of
the Theater Francais, who saw shin
ing from that smile only the soul of
Leonardo in love-"
Walter Patter revealed to the world
that 1t was an encyclopedia. "In this
beauty" he said, "the soul appears
with all it's affections. All the thoughts
and experiences Of the world have
left their traces on 1.-THE animalism
OF Greece, the lubricity of Rome, the
revery of the middle ages, the return
of paganism, the sins Of the Borgias!"
And supplementing this, the illus.
trious Italian Carotti declared "She
is the emanation of the intellectual,
sentimental and poetic power of her
time, with all the mystery of the
human soul and all its destiny"
In Europe the painting also is called
''La Joconde" and "Gioconda" and In
art circles 1t is considered to rank
second in value only to the Sistine
Madonna by Raphael. Both are price
less.

LEG A MASS OF HUMOR

About seven years ago small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
just above my ankle. 1t irritated me
80 that I began to scratch 1t, and 1t
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was one solid scale
like scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and 1t
was completely undermining our
health. lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out Of my mind with
pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the
.treet or in the presence of company,
! would have to scratch 1t until I had
the blood running down into my shoe.

ing during those seven years. The
pain, modification, loss Of sleep, both
to myself and wife is simply indie

perience 1t to know what It is.

my money down sewer. They would
dry up for little while and fill me
with hope only to break out again just
as bad II not worse. I had given up
hope Of ever being cured when I was
induced by my wife to give the Cut-
cura Remedies trial. After taking
the Cuticura Remedies for a little
while I began to see change, and
after taking dozen bottles of Cuti-
cura Resolvent in conjunction with
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment, the trouble had entirely disap-
peared and my leg was as fine as the
day was born. Now after lapse Of
