WENNA'S WAY WITH WOMEN
Georgian Who Did Not Understand
and Resented II Was Forced
to Leave the City.

Vienna is no place for an American
to go with his wife" said man who
has just got back from spending part
OF his honeymoon in the Austrian cap
ital. according to the New York
Times. my own experience was en-
barrassing, but that of a Georgian
who was there during the summer
was humiliating.
II was told that it was considered
good form for a man to offer to buy
drink for any woman he met on the
street unescorted. II she repelled his
advances he apologized and walked
away. and both were supposed to for
get the incident.
THE wife of the Georgian was out
alone one day when an officer. with
smile. bowed to her and invited her
into a near by cafe. She was indig-
nant and ordered him away. He bow
ed again and went
Later in the day the woman was
out walking with her husband. She
had told him about the incident OF the
morning and he was feeling like al

strange man had accosted his wife.
The same officer passed them and the
woman drew her husbands attention
to him. That was enough for the
Georgian. He sprang after the other
what do you mean by insulting my
wife,? he demanded, with other words
which some might consider appropri-
ate to such an occasion. Then he
hauled OF and knocked the officer
down.
When the Georgian and his wife
reached their hotel at dinner time two
officers we're there with orders that
the trunks of the Americans should
be packed and that they be escorted
to the next train leaving for another
country. The Georgian protested. but
the others insisted. and they escorted
him and his wife to the train and
saw that they left on It,"

GETS $4,000 ON MELON CROP
Undlsmayed by Failure Last Year,
Raneher Takes Bigger Chances
This Season.

Clifton, Colo.-To clean up a neat
little fortune of approximately $4,000
as a result of a couple OF months
work was the experience OF j. b.
Jobes. a rancher west Of town, who
decided that there was money In can
taloupes despite his own experience
to the contrary.
Jobes, who was a practicing physi-
clan back in Pennsylvania, came to
the Grand valley to regain his health.
He bought a young apple orchard and
decided that he would pay his ex-
penses by growing cantaloupes among
the trees.
Doctor Jobes ran up against a bad
year. however. and last season not
only didn't make profit, but for some
of his cantaloupes did not receive
enough to pay for the crates. Instead.
however, OF blaming the melons or the
valley, or o hundred and one other
things, he decided that the only diff
ficulty with his returns was the way
that they were marketed. Conse-
ouently he decided to market his own
melons and anyone else's who would
trust him with them.

Character In "RasseIas" Said That
Aviator Would BE Next Step
After Swimming.

Chicago-Among the prophecies OF
conquest OF the air. the account OF an
inventors faith that men could learn
to fly since they have learned to
swim. as found in Johnson's "Rasse'
las" is interesting. The mechanic
says:
II have been long OF opinion that
instead of the tardy conveyance OF
ships and chariots, man might use the
swifter migration OF wings; that the
fields OF air are open to knowledge
and that only ignorance and idleness
need crawl upon the ground"
This hint rekindled the princes de-
sire of passing the mountains; having
seen what the machinist had already
performed. he was willing to fancy
that he could do more. Il am
afraid" said he to the artist, that
your Imagination prevails over your
skill, and that you now tell me rath-
er what you wish, than what you
know. :" 80" replied the ma
chinist, fishes have the water. In
which yet beasts can swim by nature.
and men by art. He that can swim
needs not despair to fly: to swim Is
to float in a grosser fiuid, and to fly Is
to swim in a subtler. We are only to
proportion our power of resistance to
the different density Of matter
through which we are to pass. You
will be necessarily upborne by the air.
II you can renew any impulse upon II
faster than the air can recede from
the pressure"
The prince promised secrecy. and
waited for the performance, not Who'll
ly hopeless OF success. He visited the
work from time TO time, observed It's
progress, and remarked many In
genious contrivances to facilitate mo-
ton and unite levity with strength
The artist was every day more GER
tain that he should leave vultures

Woman Served Six Years in PriS-
on on Arson Charge.
While lnearcerated Spouse Failed to
Visit and She Believed He Was
lll-Llberated, She Has Him
Arrested.

Philadelphia.-Des she says,
by her husband after he had been ac-
quilted of the charge of setting fire
to the Point Chautauqua hotel, in
Lake Chautauqua. N. Y, while she
served six years in prison, Mrs Nora
Allen turned on him in court here
and exclaimed:
AT the trial kept my mouth shut
to save your neck. l went to prison
and you went free. gave you all but
$3.50 of the $1,000 l received for set
ting the fire."
Mrs. Allen had brought her hus-
band to court on a warrant charging
him with desertion, having taken this
action only after she had sought him
for more than q year, only to be re-
jected when she finally found him.
In the entire time she was in prison,
she said, her thoughts turned con-
stantly toward her husband, although
she received no word from him. With
tear-fllled eyes she said in Magistrate
Germans court that sometimes while
in prison she thought her husband
must be dead. at others he was ILL
Numerous we're the excuses she In
vented in her own mind to account for
failure to hear from him.
When she was released a little more
than a year ago she started out to
search for her husband. intending, she
said to aid him IL he was in trouble.
Tracing him to Philadelphia, she
learned he had been living in No. 1905
Sumner street, but had been taken to
the Medico-C -Chirurgical hospital for
treatment. Mrs. Allen visited the hos
pital and sent word to her husband
that she wanted to see him.
He does not care to see you" was
the reply she received. She then went
to police headquarters and obtained a
warraL. against Allen.
He still is my husband" she said
after Allen had been held in bonds of
$500, but my love for him has turned

TRIP THROUGH DARDANELLES

trance, that although there was no
Italian loss the flotilla never got much
farther, and that Turkish gunners on
shore If they struck anything must
have hit their own destroyers. In his
article. Signor Zoli says:
Commander Milo said that when
he reached the second cable under the
Baikouch Tepe battery. the Spica
stopped, and that this stop permitted
him to observe the water space be-
yond the narrows. BY looking at the
plan it will be seen that this water
space is the Bay Of Chanak. From
this point the commander watched the
firing from the Hamazieh battery, and
considered 1t impossible to pass the
zone Of action commanded by this bat
terry without sacrificing all the squad
ron, and therefore gave the order to
return. Therefore the truth Is that
the Italian torpedo boats did not pass
beyond the Killd Bahr-Chanak line.
"In the report OF Commander Milo
there is one certainly involuntary In
exactitude-his persuasion that he
saw the Turkish fleet and that he was
fired on by it. II he did not pass the
Kilid Bahr-Chanak line, he could not
have seen the Turkish feet anchored
in the Pay OF Niagara, and most GER
tainly he could not have been fired on
by It. The Turkish feet did not hre
single cannon.
But it is clear that Commander
Milo was misled by the numerous
steamships and by two or three Tur-
kish torpedo boats anchored In the
Bay OF Chanak 1t was probably these
vessels that. hidden in the darkness
OF the night and the shadows OF the
numerous searchlights we're mistaken
for the opposing fleet, and he could
easily have mistaken for the guns OF
this fleet the guns fired from Hama
zieh and Chanak Kalessi.
There is nothing strange or mad
missible in this explanation, given the
conditions of time and the nervous
tension produced on all. 1t is even
more possible when we think that a
high parsonage OF the ministry OF ma
rine' furnished one of the most i'm
portant newspapers with a sketch map
of the raid in which the Bay OF
Chanak was confounded with Magyar,
placing Chanak on the other side OF
the narrows and fixing the anchorage
OF the Turkish feet exactly in this
Bay OF Chanak where Commander
Milo thought he saw them"

In a year the wings were finished,
and on a morning appointed, the max
er appeared furnished for flight on
