officers and got their consent to winl
at it, for the regulations Of tn
French navy strictly forbid womel
to make any trips in submarine
boats. Perhaps the very fact that i
was forbidden, that if she succeeded
in making a journey to the bottom
of the sea in a submarine she would
have enjoyed an experience the like
of which no other Frenchwoman
might claim, actuated her. But
! whatever the conditions that brought
it about the young officer did escort
her secretly aboard the Pluviose.
She wore a long oilskin coat and
sou 'wester hat belonging to her
sweetheart, which sufficiently dis
guised her sex to admit of her going
aboard without being challenged by
any of the sentries patrolling the
quay where the PIuviose lay tethered
on the day that she was to make her
fatal trip And the girl, smiling over
triumph, climbed down the ladder
into the little gasoline filled room
and heard the orders given for the
battening down of all the matches,
the firm screwing into places of these
coverings and then, perhaps Ease nat
eddy, watched the dial indicator as
it told INV the Pluvise was sinking
deeper and deeper into the sea.
Divers who went down after the
Pluviose was sunk, carrying below
steel cables with which Intellectual
were made with huge der
ricks above to bring the Pluviose to
the surface, reported that they heard
rappings in the interior of the sub
marine. In any event when, days
later, the Pluviose was raised and
tugged into shallow water none that
had been aboard of her was alive
She had filed completely with water.
AS she was raised the water poured
from the great cash that had been
cut in her steel easement by the
channel steamship.
Once in shallow water it was the
work of only a little while to remove
the covering of the coming tower.
In that tower they found the young
officer And dead in his arms, with
her own arms tightly clasped around
his neck and her young face resting
against. his breast, they found the
young woman.-New York World.

HE SAVED $50.

Here is something every painter
and builder ought to know.
Mr. J Hall, Sheffield, Pa, painted
two house, 5 years ago, lead-and-oil; ;,
took 40 gallons. Last year he paint
ed Devoe; bought 40 gallons; had 10
left.
He is one of thousands. The
knowledge is getting about pretty
generally, that Devoe goes further
than anything else.
Have you found it out in your
own experience?
How much further?
Suppose a job amounts to 5000
square feet; how much less Devoe
could you buy?
Is it as easy to paint? Does it
cost any more or less to put-on by
the gallon than unything else? how
much?
If it costs more to put on Devoe
by the gallon it costs less by the
foot, you know; for the gallon does
more feet. How much less do you
find it for wages?
Lasts, say, twice as long; that is
the owners gain; but perhaps you
reckon it yours; some do. The time,
when that comes-in, is when he gives
out the next job. Who gets it?

THE WHIM Of A WOMAN
1T COST HER HER LIFE IN THE
WRECK OF A SUBMARINE.
DROWNED WITH HER FIANCE

Story OF q PaCneIlC hpISOue AhaI W. as
Tntertwined With the Tragic Loss
With All on Board of the French
Torpedo Boat PluviOse.
Underlying the tragedy of the loss
of the French submarine torpedo
boat Pluviose with twenty-seVen lives
when she was sunk in the bottom of
the English channel by collision
with a surface steamship on May %,
1910, was a piteous episode, inVolv-
ing the death of a beautiful and bril-
liant young Frenchwoman.
The French government suppress
ed the story so thoroughly that to
this day the name of the young wo-
man is not known save to those in
paramount authority in the navy, but
American naval officers say the fact
of the happening has become known
to other naval men all over the
world.
The Pluviose and a sister subma-
rine had gone out from the navy yard
at Calais about o'clock in the after
noon for a series of maneuvers. She
was about two miles from shore and
was disporting in series of dives
and risings to the surface. The feat
known as ''porpoising" was being &C
complished with great skill, the sub
marine being entirely responsive to
every turn of a directing wheel in
her machinery. The act of ''porpois- |
ing" is an imitation of the action of |
of the porpoise in it's leaps above |
water and prompt disappearance i'm
mediately afterward. In the subma-
rine the maneuver is made for the |
purpose of scouting, the boat being1
brought toward the surface suff-
GENTLY for it's periscope to protrude
out of water, when the officer is en- |
abled to make a general circular sur
vey of the water above him. Then |
the boat dives out of sight. In case
of war she would be enabled to pro- I
coed closely to a battleship or cruiser
and discharge torpedoes directly at
her foe.
In the act of thus coming to the
surface the Pluviose came up di-
rectly under the channel steamship |
Pas de Calais The keel of the Ca
lais struck the submarine and tore a
large hole in her upper easement. a
rent fifteen feet long and two feet
wide. Into this the water rushed. /
The submarine staggered along with
her hull just showing above the sur
face, her engines disabled, her crew
unable to do anything to check the
thrush of water. And she went /,
down.
She had a crew of twenty-seven /
men. Commandant Pras was the
senior officer. There were two other
officers. Which one of these three it
was whose sweetheart was aboard is
not definitely known to the American
naval officers, but they declare there
is no doubt of the fact.
One of the three officers listened to
the pleadings of his fance that she
be allowed to make trip in the sub !
marine with him and share with him
the peril that his duty so often re-
quired him to brave. He must have
had a consultation with his brother

FORTUNE FROM CATTLE HORNS.
An Explanation of Their Disappear
ance From Western Plains.

ance From Western Plains.
Cattle horns which have dotted the
ranges for the past 40 years have dis
appeared, and their going marks a
new industry, that of making tortoise
she'll combs, hairpins and ornaments
from the horns. 1t was a Yankee
who came along one day and seeing
the heads and horns bleaching on
the plains thought of utilizing them
for tortoise shell ornaments. He
gathered a carload and shipped them
east. They were put through a fac
tory, treated with a secret process,
and as result the man laid the
foundations for comfortable fort
