IT TALLY is known to most persons al land of extreme poverty. There
 is, of course, the other side to 1t
 and 1t is this other side that Is sumptuously presented in Italian Castles and County Seats," by Try. phosa Bates Batcheller.
 Mrs. BatcheIler has had most unus- ual opportunities for getting acquaint. ed with Italy. She had the entree to scores of homes of Italian noblemen. and her book-made up of letters writ ten home-is an account of journey lngs from one beautiful villa to anoth- er
 In Rome, where she called on the queen, she brought some presents to the royal children. The queen as- sured her that the teddy bear she had brought for the prince had made a great hit, and that it was hard to get 1t out of the youngsters hand.
 The queen mother invited Mrs. Batcheller to sing at the palace The program was an ambitious one of classical music At the end Queen Margherita asked for ''The Last Rose of Sumner" which sounds quite nat ural.
 In the course of her journeyings Mrs. Batcheller collected some inter- esting gossip. At a dinner which she gave in Rome she was disturbed as to how to seat her guests. Finally she placed a former minister of foreign affairs on her right and Count Grep- pi. former ambassador to St. Peters burg, on her left. She apologized to the count on the ground of un- familiarly with Italian etiquette. To which he replied:
 You have given me quite the place you should have. But any place at your table. dear madam, is a place of honor"
 One of her friends remarked that "So-and-so" is one of the most re- hgious persons in Rome, and the greatest rascal"
 But how is that possible?" she in- quired
 My dear signora. you must realize that religion and morals have nothing to do with each other"
 That incident recalls the older story which she relates of an inquiry made by medieval pope as to how an of ficial kept the turbulent Sienese under control Without hesitation he replied: With lies, holy father.''
 With these celebrities whom Mrs. Batcheller met must be included her

wh.n wom.n wers KnIahted.

It is not at all well known that knighthood has constantly been con. ferred upon women. Many English ladies received the accolade, and many more were members of such knightly orders as the Garter and St John. When Mary Cholmondeley, '-the bold lady of Cheshire" was knighted by Elizabeth for "her val iant address" on the Queen taking command at the threatened invasion by Spain, did she know that a whole city of Spanish women, the gallant women of Tortosa, had been knight ed for saving that city from the Moors? Mary and Elizabeth had both been knighted at their coronation, but by the time Anne. the second Mary. and Victoria ascended the throne it had been quite forgotten that, accord. ing to English law and use, a woman who filled a mans office acquired all its privileges and was immune from none of its duties.

LORD RUssELL's BLUNDER
Manchester cabman Refused to Stand for the III Nature of the
 Famous Judge.

The bluntness and impetuosity of Lord Russell of Killowen often caused him to do and say things for which he was afterwards genuinely sorry, and sometimes led him to get, quite unex- pectedly, Roland for his Oliver. This happened on one occasion in Manches- ter. He and a junior started for an ap- pointment one afternoon when Russell was in a very disagreeable mood. Things had not been going well dur ing the day. The cabman was a big, powerful, athletic-looking fellow. On approaching the cab, Russell, as was his wont, closely scanned the horse and the man. Why" said he, "a big, powerful fellow like you ought not to be driving a cab; you ought to be do ing something else"
 What the deuce is 1t to you," said the cabman, what do? Get into the cab, and mind your own business"
 Russell, Barry O'Brien tells us, in his Life" of the famous judge, read little. He was too much a man of ac- ton to be a man of books, but wherever he went he always carried lnO OOOA6 III LIB Od5 4-OCAO OA lAO Human Understanding" and the "Imi- tation of Christ" He liked novels of excitement: Monte Cristo" was a special favorite. He read Gaboriau's books, dipped into Tolstoi and Tour guenieff, and once, when he was i'll at Leeds, he got his chief clerk, MT. Block, to read the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" to him. But Rus sell made a bad blunder through lack of literary knowledge. On one occa- sion, when he was introduced to MT. Stanley Weyman, he wished to be civil to that distinguished author, so he said: My young people, MT. Wey- man, speak constantly of your books, and tell me I ought to read them. have read your Prisoner of Zenda' with much pleasure"
 "Ohl That's the other man," said Stanley Weyman-

shIps That Made History.

It is surely the very irony of cir cumstance which couples the names of the Alabama and the Kearsarge among the twelve American battle ships which the secretary of the navy has reported to congress as no longer to be regarded as available for the first line of battle, and necessary to be replaced, by 1920. Not far short of half century has passed since that famous Sunday morning in June almost as famous in it's assistance to the making of history as another June Sunday of close upon half a century before which witnessed Wa terloo-when the Federal war steam CT Kearsarge fought and sank the Confederate cruiser Alabama in the roads of Cherbourg. The thrilling story of the fight was in all mems mouths for years afterward; and the Alabama, though under the waves, proved as perilous 8 craft for this country for long subsequently as she had done, when afioat, to the north ern states. The only good that re- suited from her existence, indeed. was to afford the first effective chance of proving the value of inter- national arbitration.-Westm Gazette.

MUST EXTEND MUCH MONEY
Head of the State, In France, Is Called Upon to Draw on Private
 Fortune.

The French republic, in strong con-
 trast to the United States, usually elects to the presidency men of con- siderable wealth, who are compelled
 by the high station they hold to enter tain extravagantly, often having as guests of the republic kings and em- perors, the Indianapolis News ob- serves. Several who have served as president of the French republic have seriously diminished their fortunes while in power. M. Thiers lived as simply as an American president, making, few large expenditures and living well within his personal reve- nue of 100000 francs ($1OO.OOO) a year.
 Marshal MacMahon," says Le Cri de Paris, dispensed largely. He had 100000 francs for entertainment of princes, ambassadors. envoys and oth- CT great personages, and other ex- penses were voted later. The last months of his presidency he hypothe- cated somewhere near the value of the hotel he possessed in Rue Belle chase. Gambetta, in 1878, caused to be adopted motion limiting such ex- penses to 100000 francs in charge of the ministry of war, for which the marshal was to be personally re- sponsible
 The economy of President Grevy be- came proverbial. President Carnot entertained largely and well. He trav- eled a great deal In short, he ate up 500,00O francs of his personal for tune. Mime. Carnot freely said to her 'The Elysee is a palace, where one is bored and ruined" Gas imer-Perier was too short time in office to exploit the tastes for high liv- Ing and lavish expenditure which were natural to him and which his ample means permitted. President Felix Faure dispensed his full allowance in and contracted heavy debt which he negotiated at Havre.

Gave 300 Rabbits to the Poor.


 Fifteen hundred pounds, eleven big gunny sacks, of rabbits were given to various charitable institutions a few days ago by l. A. Bordner and Edward Mckee of the state fish and game commission. The rabbits were killed in a big drive near Fresno, held under the supervision of A. D. Ferguson, representive of the state commission in that district
 Ordinarily the rabbits obtained in a big drive are thrown away. Officials of the Wells Fargo company agreed to ship the rabbits in free of charge, and so the fifteen hundred pounds of game, which was distributed to the poor, did not cost one cent.
 A large number of the rabbits had their ears cut of, as the men who killed them wanted to keep track of the number of bunnies they took
 Each sack averaged 25 rabbits, so there were about 300 rabbits in the shipment-Los Angeles Express

Italian chauffeur, Vincenzo. When they entered Italy in their motor. Vincenzo stopped at the boundary, bought large bunch of flowers from a boy by the roadside and handed them to his employer, saying, with a bow: Permit me, signora, to offer you the first homage from Italy"
 Royal Family ProdlgaI.
 The Italian royal family has been prodigal of its own services for the people of Italy. So when the cholera felled hundreds of citizens the king and queen were first at the bedside of the suffering and afflicted When Mes sina was destroyed the king and queen rushed to Naples and embarked on a man-of-war which was hurried to the scene of the catastrophe There they personally succored the victims of the earthquake
 Now another one of Italy's royal women has taken up the burden of her country's sufferings This is the Duchess of Aosta, who not only en- rolled herself as one of the devoted band of Red Cross nurses that has gone to Tripoh to care for the wound ed of the Italian army, but she re- fuses to accept any special attentions due her royal rank.
 In the camp she is known simply as Nurse No. 3, but the soldiers, who worships this tender-hearted woman, know well who Nurse No. Is, and as she passes through the wards of the hospitals they kiss the hem of her veil and bless the dynasty of Savoy that gave Italy its fine rulers and splendid gentlewomen.
 The Duchess of Aosta, whose hus- band Is in direct succession for the throne of Italy, is not distinguished in any particular from the other nurses, shares their humble cots, eats the same food, does her full share of the nursing. stands watch with the other nurses and does not shrink from at tending the soldiers of Italy at the operating table
 It is said that the king had de- clared he would not permit any of the royal women to face the dangers of nursing in Tripoli. danger due to the interruptions nature of the Arabs and Tripolitans, who have proved themselves treacherous and murder ous. The Duchess of Aosta did not an- nounce her intention of going, but em- parked secretly, and it was not until she was recognized after the transport steamer had left Naples that she ad- mitted her identity.

Underrated Man.

Victor Hemery, the noted French racing automobilist, was praising an American automobile.
 T don't know why 1t should be so unpopular" he said. Perhaps it isn't advertised enough. At any rate, it ia . very much underrated machine"
 Adjusting his racing goggles he smiled.
 '1t reminds me of the man whose wife called to her little son one cold winter night:
 Tommy, go bring me up the bed, warmer
 Tommy, without leaving his com 6Ortable seat before the clanking radt ator,' shouted downstairs:
 Father. mother wants youl'"

 You wish to have Bubb' changed to something else?"
 "No; want new one entirely. Something like William Thompson or George Jones-something short and easy, you know"
 Your objection to your name, then is that 1t is too long, presume. Why can't you just use your initials?"
 That only makes it worse, judge. Whenever I give my name as B. L. 2. Bubb somebody snickers."

to Completion

The building committee of McCabe
Memorial Church has decided to defer
the building of the proposed struc-
ture until next spring Every effort
viii be made to be ready to break
ground as soon as the weather VIII
permit, i'm the hope that the building

their desire to have the building con-
structed during the period of the
year best for such work. and also
that the congregation might not be
without church home during the
important months from September to

that as soon as they have the ample
accommodation which their new
building will give them, every depart
