Boston Woman Advocates Singing in
Fight Against Booze.

Boston. June 10.-A suggestion that the
singing of songs would drive the desire
for drink out of a man was made today
by Miss Alice L. Higgins, a Boston
charity worker at a meeting of the ma
tional conference Charities and Correc-
tions. The speaker said:
"All the literature regarding drunken
ness which the committee of fifty has
gathered and which reposes on the IL
brary shelves for the exclusive use of
harvard students in their compulsory
reading should be brought before the
public. 1t should be translated into the
vernacular and even into the ballad"
There were several other section meet
ings where interesting topics were dis
cuSSed.

HEAT TURNS ON SPRINKLER.
Automatic Device Acts as If Fire Had
Broken Out.

Chicago. June 1O.-Perhaps the
most curious freak of the record
breaking performance of the mercury
yesterday occurred in big downtown
department store just before closing
time. The automatic sprinkler system
in the store suddenly opened its flood
gates and began to work as energet-
1cally as if the store had been on fire.
For 20 minutes the device sprinkled
away while watchmen raced about
looking for stop cocks. The sprinkler
was gagged to go into action at 143
degrees or higher, while the tempera-
ture on the street level reached
maximum of only 101 degrees.

Too Mean.

A NDREW CARNEGIE recently advised
= some New York girls to marry poor
men. Il would rather be born poor than
a millionaire" he said. and 1 have had
experience of both estates"
At dinner Mr.. Carnegie, celebrating
the above, said:
L suppose these girls will all take my
advice about marrying poor men Poor
men are so much easier to find than rich
ones. But that is no hardship.
so many people think that a poor
young couple, to get on. must practice
the niggarlly meanness of Tom Weldon.
Tom Weldon. on a journey from AL
toona to Philadelphia, got into game of
cards with a young man. The young
man lost steadily. Finally, as Philadel-
phia drew near, he was out a total of
SOL.
The young man had a hard hunt to
produce all tn s money. From one pocket
he took two tWenty-dollar bills, from an
other two tives, from his waistcoat a ten
dollar gold piece and a silver dollar and
from his trousers half dollar a quar-
ter. two dimes and four pennies The
final penny he couldn't find, search where
he would
I'm awfully sorry he said to Tom
Weldon. I'm a cent short
Never mind, young man. said Tom,
gen. ally. We won't stick at a cent. You
can give me your evening paper"

that he puts on no airs at either place,
and that he and Kaiser Wilhelm go
about at Corfu just like common people.
Summer before last the kaiser while out
walking on the country roads stopped at
q cottage for drink and talked with its
peasant proprietor. The latter brought
out a chair and his imperial German
majesty sat down and rested After he
had gone the peasant wrote the kaiser
name on the chair and laid 1t away.
When the kaiser walked out again this
year the peasant stopped him on the road
way and offered him the use Of the chair,
saying he had vowed that none but an
emperor should sit on it hereafter.

cratic. He walks about Athens. and now

No ing in New York about April fool
jokes.
"A comedian-call him Smith he be-
gan, was to attend a dinner party, as ii
happened, on the 1st of April. and SC
thought he would do little April fool
ing. He went TO one of those SlavSh ad-
mirers that all actors have, and he said
to this young man:
81 am dining at Browns tonight and
l want to fool the party with some fake
ventriloquism. So I'll ask you to climb
up on Browns roof-I'll have a ladder
ready-and when l talk to you you'll an
swer down the chimney. eh?'
Sure said the humble admirer, de-
lightedly.
And so, that evening between the
courses of the dinner Smith did some ven
triloqu'al stunts of incredible excellence
Hello hello!' he would call up the chin
ney. and then, while he drank glass OF
wine, a faint voice from the roof would
answer Hello yourself and see how YOU
like it,,
Once, after calling up the chimney
'How's the weather up there" Smith ac-
tually began conversat on with lady,
and yet. in the midst of this converse
ton, the voice from above replied. 1t
looks a lot like rain, and I'm getting
tired of my job
We'll. then, goodnight said Smith.
and. a moment later, the party retired to
the smoking room.
Smiths goodnight had been the con-
certed signal for his confederate to de-
scend, but Smiths April fool joke cut.
alas, two ways, and when the poor con-
federate went to climb down he found the
ladder gone. Somehow, then. he managed
to follow Smith from the ming room TO
the smoking room. chimney, and then he
called angrily:
- Smith, Smith, for goodness sake let
ME down. It's cold and it's raining, and
I'm tired and chilled and wet.
Smith thought the game was up but
to his delight his friends shouted and
clapped. They thought this another ex-
hibition of his veptriloquial skill The
poor confederate's complaints were greet
ed with hearty laughter and applause.
In fact the host himself. half an hour
later. called jovially up the crate:
Still there. old man?'
"'Oh, go to blaZeS.' came an angry
shout IN reply, and a brick flung down
the chimney destroyed the fire and the
April fool joke simultaneously"

with the people whom he meets on his
way through the country and listens to
what they have to say about himself and
the government. This is, of course, when
he is not recognized. He has no trouble
in getting opinions, for every Greek farm
er and cartman has his own way of
thinking, and is not averse to making it
known. Not long ago his majesty got
into conversation with a peasant walking
along beside him following his cart filled
with vegetables. Suddenly the peasant s
horse slipped, and the vegetables were
scattered all over the road. The coun-
tryman began to swear, but the king
caught hold of the horse and made it get
up and proceeded to put the vegetables
back in the cart. At this moment an
officer of the army passed by and saluted.
The countryman was amazed and real
lied that the king was his helper. He
did not know what to say, whereupon
his majesty gave him gold piece and
remarked:
My good man, you are foolish to
waste your time swearing and praying
when you get into trouble. What you
want to do is to put your hand to the
wheel and pick up your carrots" He
then walked away laughing.
Speaking of the vegetable cart. have
no doubt that his majesty knew the
value of those carrots and potatoes and
just what it cost to raise them. He is,
am told, one of the best farmers of
Greece. He had much to do with found
ing the agricultural department. and has
rendered great services to the farmers Of
