THE SAILORS BELT.

At the rat-tat-tat OF a cane upon the
sidewalk. Lydia stole through the
front doorway. Well she knew II
would be old Solomon Dunkley, the
cobbler limping home. About his
waist would be the wonderful black
belt OF cobra's skin, and maybe he
would be singing some outlandish
sailors chorus, or maybe swearing
round seaman's oaths.
The latter supposition held good
and Lydia, after listening fascinatedly
for a moment, put the ends OF her
pink fingers into her ears. Some
thing was the matter with old Solo
mon. Something was always the mat
ter, to Judge by his language. but to-
day II must be worse. Lydia could
tell by her mothers face. as the good
lady came forth to rescue her child.
Come here this minute, Lydia
Stevens" called her mother.
But I want to see the funny belt,
protested Lydia.
THAT snake belt will uncoil from
around old Soiomon's waist and bite
you one Of these days." warned Mrs.
Stevens.
Lydia heard and ran to her mother,
screaming. But old Solomon. late OF
the Seven Seas and the Southern
Cross, hearing, too, turned and direct
ed his volleys at the alarmed mother,
who, shivering, conducted her sobbing
darling into the house.
Lydia nestled in the darkened par
lor and sobbed. Then the fascination
of the cobra skin belt came upon her
again-the mad, eerie charm OF the
black belt. which old Solomon wore
about his waist night and day, and
which half the town believed to be
baleful talisman. The longer the
child's thought fingered upon the
strange belt, the more irresistible the
charm became. After bit she stole
out of the house and slipped down the
ill-smelling alley TO the dingy abode
of old man Dunkley.
Before she got to the house she
heard q groaning, 80 fierce and terri.
flying that her courage almost failed.
But, drawn In spite of her fears, she
entered the dilapidated cabin. On q
miserable bed IN the corner lay the
old cobbler, his scanned, yellow face
contorted with pain. At sight OF her
he renewed his wild abuse. Lydia
watched him until he had finished.
Then she slipped to the bedside.
"Are you sick7" she asked gently.
1T am so very sorry" As she spoke
her eyes were upon the black belt.
which still hung about his waist.
The old sailor raised upon his ell
bow and gasped. Sorry" he cried.
and launched into another wild tir-
ade. Then you're tho nrst 'un what's
ever been sorry for Solomon Dunk

bed and jabbered 30 wildly that Ly-
dia became frightened again.

Maharajah. Yer mother said II would

After that old Solomon lay very
still-so still that Lydia, wondering
why his chest moved no more, slip
ped homeward. By the time she had
made her rambling way, news Of old
Solomon's death had come by other
means. Mrs. Stevens, horror-strick-

Restrictions imposed Because Of
Cholera Outbreak Drive Resi-
dents to Desperation.
MILAN, Sept. 5.-Virtual martial
law prevails today In Barletta, the
center Of the Italian cholera zone, as
the result of yesterdays clash be-
tween several thousand unemployed
people and the military. Driven to
desperation by the rigid rules since
the cholera outbreak, mobs broke
through the military cordons, storm
ed the town hall and invaded the
hospitals. The wrath Of the people
was directed chiefly against the doc
tors and many were forced to fee
from the city.
When military reinforcements ar
rived. a pitched battle ensued, Some
thirty soldiers were wounded, several
being shot, when the commander gave
the order to charge with bayonets,
speedily clearing the streets, though
a score or more of the rioters were
seriously injured.
Men, women and children engaged
in the fight. Fifty of the ringleaders
were arrested.
The disorder was the elimination OF
q series of alleged abuses which the
people have suffered. Since the chol
era outbreak the importation and sale
of vegetables and other fresh foods
has been prohibited. People even suf
fered for drinking water owing to the
governments shutting of all supplies
not known to be free from infection
These restrictions, added to the Ions
standing labor depression, and the re
cent eviction OF thousands for failure
to pay extortionate rents. worked the
people into a frenzy. Had reinforce
ments not arrived 1t is believed Che
mobs would have wrecked the city. y

Japan,s Giant Wrestlsrs.

Japanese wrestlers are not to be con-
fused with Japanese exponents of jiu
jitsu. The wrestlers belong to the
older school, In which weight is a par
amount quality. 1t is remarkable
thing that race which is on the av-
erage four or five inches under the Eu-
ropean standard In point of height
should have produced special cult Of
wrestlers who are giants In stature
and strength. The leading wrestlers
of Tokyo or Osaka or Hiogo are all
men at least six feet In height and
weighing perhaps 300 pounds. They
are race apart. Wrestling Is an oc-
cupation which has been handed iown
from father to son for many genera
tions. And the explanation Of their
prowess is that they have always been
meat eaters, while the rest of Japan.
either from choice or necessity, have
been In the main vegetarians.

A PORTION
OF COMETS TAIL

w. P. Samms presents a unique
problem for the chemists of the
country, in the presence of fine
Yellow looking L LIT Which was pre-
clp.lated in a rainfall upon the sides
of an ordinary galvanized iron wash
tub, and appearing to be fine par
tscles of oxidizcd chemistry from
The !talley comets tail. According
TO newspaper report, such "star
dust" was found III Lewiston, Ida
no. Mr. Samms states that the pre-
ciP!tstion was not formed during
hat day and evening the earth
va passing through the comets
tail. but was deposited in rain
fall subsequently. 1t is not improb-
atle that fine particles of the COM
cts tail remained in our atmosphere
from the celestial visitor, and were
precipitated in solution with wat
er, or rainfall, and oxidized on the
iron of the tubs as supposed.
