It would be impossible and useless
to make a list of those he has swim
died. It is believed he has got away
with several millions OF francs in all.
The greater number Of his victims
have made no formal complaint
against him, preferring to pocket their
losses rather than to suffer the chat
fing Of their friends because of their
gullibility. But it is known that among
the sufferers are cardinals, archbish-
ops, abbots of monasteries, mother gu
periors and ADDRESSES Of converts and
noble men and women who are chart

He forged letters of introduction from
one bishop to another. He ingratiated
himself here and there by conspicuous
acts Of charity and piety and 80 got

Novara he said mass, and from whom
he received present.

Don't expect the dairy COW to give

After the third month the calf will
begin to want extra water, and some
may be mixed with the milk.
Observe with care and note al a
first point that the COW should have

Cold rains are much harder on cows
than dry cold. Damp cold penetrates
to the bones. Provide dry shelter.

The police of Rome have not yet
discovered just what game he was
up to when they caught him. He had
been there only two days, having come
from Turin. He had called upon an

The following day he had visited the
studio of the Cavaliere Feltce, off,

expressed desire to buy the photo
graphs OF some cardinals. At his ease
in a big arm chair the bogus prelate
turned the pages. of a big album. from
which he selected pictures Of Cardi-

which he took and paid for. ~
A high parsonage at the Vatican de-

Overlooking the calf results in tax
ing the digestive organs beyond their
limited capacity, which naturally de-
ranges the whole system, and Is often
the cause of scours. Then, again,
when the milk is fed at a tempera-
ture lower than the animals body,
which in cattle Is about 102 degrees.
the vitality of the calf is lowered In
it's effort to heat the food to point

until the calf reaches the age when
its activity is sufficient to maintain

PHOENIX. Ariz., July 1S.-A great many people have been of the opin- ion that the present legislature would go out Of existence on the first of next year. and that unIess the SUI prcme court decided in favor of a general election, the various state departments would be forced to suffer for lack Of money until 1915, when the next elections could be held.
 This, however, does not seem to be the case. as according to the decision of the supreme court in the election case the present legislators hold of fee until their successors are elect ed and qualified" which cannot be until the general election in 1915.
 In all probability, Governor Hunt will cali the legislature into session about November or December of this year. The session in no way will bt an extra one, but will convene as the regular second session, and vii continue for thirty days After the conclusion of the session, the sOlonS can be reconvened in special session by the chief executive at any time he sees fit.
