ATTEMPTED TO STEAL PRINCE

The princess divorced her husband several years ago and afterwards married 8 lieutenant in the Italian army named Del Prete.
 When the boy was missed from. his mothers villa, a widespread search was inaugurated, but 1t was not until late in the evening that the searchers were rewarded for all their trouble. Just before dark they came upon the little prince on a lonely road near the town of Pietrasanta. The princess at tributes the attempt to kidnap her son to the members of the family of his iather.

sernona and ImpreaaIona.

In listening to sermon or other ad. dress, there is this to be said: The next day, or perhaps the next hour, one cannot accurately report single thing that is said. One may give an impression, in very imperfect way that the whole discourse has made upon him, but as to any definite in- struction, that is almost universally lacking.
 A man will say: "That was a fine sermon." but to quote a line from it accurately is quite impossible. That has been our experience. We will feel the glow of an idea, maybe, but just what that idea is we cannot say. Per haps 1t is not necessary. Perhaps 1t ia well enough to feel only the influence of what was said.
 Still, one should learn something definite from every sermon he hears. There is never a sermon that has not something in it worth remembering. One need not agree with 1t altogether, but if 1t is a sentence or a thought that has a beauty, a harmony, an appeal in it, it is worth calling to mind next day.-Ohio State Journal.

RABBITS ROB STOCK
THEY EVEN DRIVE HOGS AWAY
 FROM THEIR CORN.
Hordes of the Famlshed Animals RaId Farmyards and Feed Lots of Farm CTS in Kansas, Robbine Live
 Stock of Their Food.

Hutchinson, Kan.-Made desperate by hunger, hordes of famished jack rabbits recently raided the farmyards and feed lots on western Kansas ranches, according to reports from that section of the state, and robbing cattle and other live stock of their food
 Deprived of their usual food by the deep snow which covered that section of the state, the rabbits invaded the farms and granaries, causing great loss to the ranchmen. Where corn had been left in the shock, or where hay had been stacked, the little animals congregated by thousands, and in their desperate straits ate thousands of dollars worth of grain and other feed that is greatly needed by the farmers for their stock.
 So numerous are the rabbits that 1t Is impossible for the farmers to pro tect themselves from them. Thou sands of the animals have been killed and many thousands of them have died from starvation, but there ap- pears to be little diminution in their number.
 Some farmers report that the rab- bits have invaded hog pens and by sheer force of numbers driven the hogs away from their feed, one farm CT whose reputation for truth and ve- racity is good, reporting that he saw a drove of rabbits Invade his hog pen, take ears of corn in their jaws and leap back over the fence and retreat to safe distance to devour their oot.
 Frank Winslow, a ranchman in Hodgeman county, also said that he had seen rabbits invade the hog lots and grab corn out of the mouths of the hogs.
 Every day since the big snow," MT. Winslow said, ''the ranch hands have been feeding a bunch of cattle in the feed lots, but they reported that the stock appeared to be hungry all the time and appeared to be growing weaker and thinner. made an inves- tigation and found that as soon as the hands would get the feed dumped on the ground and leave for other fields that hordes of jack rabbits would rush upon the feed and devour 1t"

Named After Literary Men.

The death of Alfred Tennyson Dick ems recalls the great novelists' pen chant for naming his children after distinguished literary men and particu- larly after his contemporaries.
 His eldest son, born in 1887, he christened after himself, Charles Gull liford Boz; his first daughter he named simply Mary; the second daughter, Kate Macready; the second son, born in 1841, Walter Landor; the third, born in 1844, Francis Jeffrey; the fourth. Alfred Tennyson; the fifth, Sydney Smith; the sixth, Henry Field ing, and the seventh, Edward Bulwer Lytton. Of these only Henry Fielding. who, like his namesake follows the law, now survives. One wonders somewhat why he passed over his great friend, John Forster, and his greatest contemporary, Thackeray.

STOLE FOR MISTRESS
INTELLIGENT DOG HAD OBJECT
 IN "LIFTINe" GOOSE.
Therefore HIs Owner Insisted That He Was Not Thief, and Maels- trate Was Forced to See
 Things in the Same Light.

A live goose and Scotch terrier occupied the attention of Magistrate Dodd for longer time than any other case on the calendar in the Manhat- tan avenue police court, Williams burg, the New York Sun says. The goose was the property of Joseph Ru- dolph, a roofer at 1079 Grand street, and the dog, named Kusch, belonged to William F. Donges, who lives at 913 Flushing avenue. Donges was accused of stealing the goose, and in stoutly denying the allegation he pulled out from under his coat the dog, and setting him on the judicial bench, said he was the thief.
 Rudolph said that Donges was em- ployed by him as driver, and Donges brought home the terrier. The par ticular goose that was stolen was kept with others in the back yard, and all were being fattened up for the holidays. Rudolph said that the dog ran about in the yard and finally the cackling of the geese drew his at tention, and he saw Donges' dog mak- ing of with the fattest goose across the open lots toward the Donges home. Kusch had pulled his quarry out of hole in the fence and with his teeth gripping one of the goose's legs made of with him.
 HThat goose" added Rudolph, twas worth at least $1.75, and when I told Donges about it he laughed, and said he couldn't help what the dog did. He wouldn't pay me, so told him would hold him responsible and got a warrant" s,sr.s feo
 When a policeman went to Donges' house and arrested him, Donges took along the dog, and both were locked in the prisoners pen. A friend of Donges took along the goose, whose right leg was somewhat disabled as the result of being dragged over the rough ground to the Donges homo. As Donges placed the dog on the judicial bench he said:
 "Your honor, my dog is very intelH- gent, (Kusch nodded approval with a bow bowl My wife is an invalid and I cannot afford to provide her with all the delicacies I should like to. Whether or not the dog knew the position was placed in don't know. How did know that he was going to steal the goose? I'm willing that MT. Rudolph should have back the goose. The goose isn't much hurt. ] don't think 1t was right to arrest me for stealing when am innocent"
 After moments hesitation Magis. trate Dodd said:
 T can't send Donges to jail because he has committed no crime, and the dog can't be arrested, because there is nothing in the statutes applicable to the case. The only way to settle the matter is for Rudolph to take back his goose and withdraw the com plaint."
 Rudolph consented and Donges was discharged. He took along his dog and Rudolph got the goose. Donses is out of job.

u. s. AMBASSADOR RESIGNS

Robert Bacon, ambassador of the United States at Paris, has resigned to ally himself with Harvard univer- sity.
 Ambassador Bacon's letter, in which he announced his resignation to Presi- dent Taft, was received by the Presi- dent at Washington few days ago.
 MT. Bacon especially refrained from making his retirement public, as he desired the first announcement to come from Harvard university, which recently chose him to be a fellow in place of Judge Lowell, deceased
 Ambassador Bacon said he wished his friends to know that there were no ulterior motives for his resignation. He had been for IT years a member of the board of overseers and could not, he said, decline the honor of be- coming fellow of Harvard, which he considered to be the best single inhu- ence for good in America.

COLLEGE HEAD THREE DECADES

With no particular celebration to mark the event, the Rev. James D. Moffat, D. D., IL.

A man widely known for his learning and for his business abil- ity, a former moderator of the Pres byterian church and recognized as one of the most prominent divines of the Presbyterian denomination, Dr. Moffat has ably kept up the standing of the famous old school here which in it's more than a century of history has gained a wide reputation as a classical institution of the highest order.

PRESIDENT SUN IS A HAWIIAN

Probably nowhere was there greater surprise felt over the election of Dr. Sun Yat Sen as the president of the provincial republic of China than in Hawaii, where Dr. Sun was born. So true is it that a prophet is not with out honor save in his own land. All dur ing the years that Dr. Sun has been arousing his countrymen to longings for a newer and freer national life and organizing for it the people of Ha- waii have looked on him as a profes- sional adventurer, careful of his own safety while exploiting the rising pa- triotism of his compatriots.
 From time to time for years past have come reports of uprisings in China, some of them of formidable promise, said to be the result of his propaganda Each report of the kind has brought out in some of the Homo lulu papers sarcastic or satirical para graphs, describing him as a long range revolutionist and patriot for revenue.

PICK sEAMEN OFF RIGGING
Resouers Save Four of Ships Crew After Men Cling Thirty Hours
 to Wreck.

Norfolk, Va.-After clinging for more than 30 hours to the masts and rigging of their sunken vessel. four members of the crew of the three masted schooner. harry Prescott. were rescued the other morning by the revenue cutter Itasca, which pro ceeded to Wilmington, N. c.
 The four men were nearly exhaust ed. After resting for a while on the jibboom of their vessel late the previ- ous day they were compelled at night fall to take to the rigging again, and there dashed themselves for night that proved to be one of great suffer Ing in the face of a severe northwest wind that carried the temperature be- low freezeing.
 It was nine o'clock at night when the Prescott, bound for Wilmington, N. C., with a cargo of salt, struck on the inner Diamond shoals It was a battle for life from the start with the seven members of the schooner's crew. The cabins soon filled and the men were without food or drink for two days. save for what little they were able to secure about their per sons when 1t was found that the ship was doomed. Nothing remained but to take to the rigging.
 Capt " R. Philbrock, master of the Harry Prescott, is in a serious condi- ton as the result of exposure when he, with Mate T. s. Smith and Stew ard George O. Robings. cast them selves into the sea from the masts of the Prescott, in order that they might be rescued by life-savers.

Patrolmen Barton and O'Neil took their lives in their hands, last night, when they followed Michael sciano, a young Italian, living at 56 Calhoun avenue. into an alley off Union Square to place him under arrest
 Sciano, who was intoxicated, was very sassy and refused to leave the place, where he had no business.

MIR. GOODSELL REFERS
 TO COMPARISONS IN TAX DISTRICT MUDELE
In an interview today, MT. zalmon GoodselI said:

In an interview today, MT zalmon Goodsen said:
 "FoDowing my answer of January 26, 1912, as to district areas, call your your attention to the eomparis9ns 9,1s benefits received by the residents of the First district, with a tax rate of seven mills, and those received by the residents of such towns as Stratford, with a tax rate of 12.5 mills, Fairfield 14 mills, and Trumbu'l 13.5 mills.
 ''To speak of the First district as representing property interests outside ment Of the facts. The First dis trict is the foundation, or sub-struc- ture, of the whole town and city of Bridgeport; and the Second district is just as much a part of the First dis trict as the First district itself.
 This comparison, at the first glance, would lead one to believe that the First district taxpayers had a bon anza' in tax rates over the taxpayers in the neigbboring towns.
 But consider, for a moment, the tax laid in these several towns, is for the total expense of running their town governments.
 These towns are not congested by large centers of population, neither have they within their town limits a second district set off with specia privileges, as the town of Bridgeport has.
 .-The value of taxable property in these several towns may avera ge from two to five millions of dollars. Compare this with the value of tax able property in the First and Second districts of Bridgeport, which will average about one hundred millions.
 '.In Bridgeport, the Second district has practica y assumed, through the Board of Aldermen, the whole care and expense of looking after all mat ters that orig 'paly were charged to the town proper. This images the ratio of cost and taxation for our First district, which is mostly made up of farm lands, much less in pro- portion than that of whole town like those of Fairfield, Stratford and Trumbuu.
