ITALIAN FISHERMAN SHOT.
Bullets Fired at Such Range They Left
Powder Marks on Scalp.

New York, July 1.-THE authorities

Trovati so bitterly that he crept up be-
hind the man and fired two bullets into
the back of his head, either one which
would have been instantly fatal Re-
Yenge or the simple desire to kill evil
IDENTIFY was the motive. for what little
money the dead man had was left in
his pockets untouched.
Seemingly Trovati was the most pa
tent of fishermen. The first rays Of
the days sun found him on the bank of
the Raritan canal sitting on an old
tree, his back resting against sap
ling The sun grew older and its rays
beat down scorchingly on him. Grasp
ing his fishing rod, its line dangling IN
the muddy water, Trovati sat motion
less. Men in rowboats passed and
yelled at him, What luck?
The worst luck. Trovati, hard
working fellow of 30. upon whom a
Young wife and two children depended,
was dead. He had been murdered.
1t was not until O'Clock that two
farm hands passed close to Trovah
They. too. asked him what luck. No
answer, of course.
Hes asleep" laughed one The
other shook Trovati by the shoulder and
found that he was dead. They sum-
moned the county authorities. including
the city physician. The latter found
that some one had tiptoed up behind
the fisherman and had sent two bullets
into the back of his head. at such close
range that there were powder marks
on the scalp.

BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

Want a new recipe for simple
way to have a lot of fun?
Then listen while 1 tell you of the
will of wealthy Massachusetts Wom-
an who died recently.
Besides the money left for conven-
tionaI charitable purposes Mrs Mary
Spaulding of Grotton also left
Five thousand dollars to buy Christ
mas presents for the inmates OF an
incurable home.
One thousand dollars for car rides
for the aged poor of Boston.
One thousand dollars to two sea-
mems aid societies to buy clothing
and medicine for shipwrecked sailors.
Five thousand dollars to buy the
raised books for the children in big
institution for the blind.
You don't particularly want to make
a will and you don't see any connec-
ton between that Will ana a recipe TOT
am ashamed of you. 1 thought
you were quicker witted than that.
Don't you imagine that Mrs. Spauld-
ing had lot of fun in imagining how
much those old folks were going to de-
light in those unexpected car rides
and how the poor, hopelessly sick
folks were gong to laugh and then
maybe cry a bit for pleasure when
they found her gifts in their stockings
of a dark Christmas morning?
And although I don't know, never
having heard of the lady before, /
have a mighty good idea, from her
will. that all her life she had lot of
that same kind of fun.
And that's the kind you can have.
You probably can't have the pleas
ure of making will bequeathing
$4,000 to buy blind books for blind
children, but if you have an automo-
bile or carriage you may nave the
pleasure of taking some blind child
on a drive.
And lest you think that there would
he no pleasure in a ride to anyone
Fwho saw nothing of all the beauty
that he passed through, let me tell you
that. as matter of fact, there IS no
keener pleasure to a blind person tnan

There are women like that right in
your own neighborhood. don't know
what that neighborhood is. but know

happiness YOU would be bathed in if
you gave some of those people some
sort of an outing?
You see nay new recipe for having
a lot of fun doesn't call for any ex-
pensive or rare ingredients.
On the contrary, it can always be
made up out of any leftover bless
ings you happen to have on hand.
If you don't believe me, try it.
No, don't mean that. Try it any
