Discounted Washer.

A gray-haired masher, easily over
sixty years of age, was given a cold
reception when he endeavored to be-
come acquainted with the wife of a
well-known newspaper man recently.
The day was cold and rainy. The
newspaper mans wife was standing
holding an open umbrella. She was
waiting for her car. The gray-beard-
ed individual unannounced stopped
under her umbrella, and stood beside
her for an instant before he remark
ed:
"You seem to be waiting for some
one"
He was nearly taken off his feet
when the woman with a quick reply
said, 81 think you are mistaken, San
ia Claus"
The gray-bearded individual left sud-
denly.

Venetian Palace Where Wagner Died.

Apropos of the return from her
chateau in Syria of the Duchesse della
Grazia to her palace in Venice, a Paris
contemporary gives an interesting ac-
count of Vendramin, which is not
only one of the most beautiful resi-
dences on the canal, but it is closely
associated with the history of the
city of the doges.
It was built in 1441. German princes
occupied it at first. Then it passed
into the possession of the duke of
Mantua, who purchased it for $4,000
ducats of gold. 1t was the scene of
great social events under the Arch
duke Charles Ferdinand of Austria
and his wife, Anne de Medicis, In
1852, and through them the palace has
come into the possession of the pres
ent owners through marriage. 1t was
here that Richard Wagner died in
1883. The desk at which he wrote
Tristan und Isolde" is carefully pre-
served. Some years ago plaque was
affixed to the palace showing it's con-
nection with the great composer.

thoroughly investigated the conditions
prevailing lin other cities where streets
have been sprinkled with oil, and are
satisfied such a treatment will improve
the streets here. The city has pur-
chased the sprinkling outfit used by
George Acheson, and will equip it with
a special attachment made to use in
sprinkling oil. The price paid for the
sprinkler was 5000. The special attach
ment will cost about $85. Mr.. Acheson
has been hired to drive the sprinkler
for the city. A car load Of oil has been
purchased and is expected daily. So in
a few days we will undoubtedly see the

WHY oAN'L CHOSE aloNU DEN.

DANBURY. Conn, oct. j6. Hating women and everything feminine. a man of thirty five years. known only as Daniel, has cut himself ofr from civilization. He was found tcday by policemen in O mountain cave about twelve miles from here following a complaint that wild man frightened women who were viewing the scenery.
 The cave dweller said he had lived in the mountains three years and had frightened the women away because he could not bear the sight Of them. This has given rise to the speculation that perhaps Daniel. the prophet. was not thrust by King Darius into the Hons den, but chose 1t as a refuge from the Median maiden's alluring charms.

Los ANGELES. Oct. I4.4--Are you woman who wishes to initiate pro- csedings through the city prosecutors oface? Do you feel timid about dis cussing your case with men prosecu. tors? Would You feel more at ease if you could lay the basis of your com. plaint before a woman and have a wo- man handle the legal proceedings?
 If so. there is new ofiicial here who will satisfy these requirements and who furnishes another example of the expanding usefulness of women in public affairs. She Is Miss Margare. Gardner. recently given charge of a new department In the office of City Prosecutor Guy Eddie--a bureau for legal complaints made by women.
 Prosecutor Eddie Is strongly in fav- or of the new department and said:
 We receive many complaints daily from women who dislike to talk to the assistant prosecutors because they arc men.
 "As an assistant prosecutor Miss Gardner will be called on to issue com plaints whenever warranted and ap. pear In court to prosecute when the services of a prosecutor are needed"

FAMoUs BRITTLE MAN"
 10 LONGER BREAKS

LONDON, Oct. 15.-Allan Rush brooke. known as "the brittle man." from the rare disease which resulted in his muscles turning into bone-llke substance. has now made such prog ress toward recovery as to enable him to become q successful gardner.
 He has won a second prize for car nations at e flower show at Raynes Park. Surrey. He has been an inmate of over fifty hospitals and institutions.
 To get his prize he walked e quar- ter of mile. half the distance being over very rough ground. Yet. when he first entered the London homeopathic hospital his body was so rigid that te .ould not lie with even . thin bolster under his head. and 1t was a triumph when he could raise his right foot suf- ncientiy to step onto a thin doormat.

 CENT oF CHINA LOAN

LONDON. Oct. l6.-The Issue of the 'independent" Chinese loan tAst week was failure 90 far as the public is concerned. Only about forty per cent of the s2s.ooo.ooO offered was sub scribed for by the general public. so that the underwriters had to take up ths balance of sixty per cent.
 This apparent non success of the public issue of the loan is ascribed by Charles Birch Crisp. head of the syn aicate. to the fact that many of the underwriters are actually large inyes- tors to whom the issuers of a big loan generally look for large subscriptions. Mfr. Crisp added that the number of applications including those of the underwriters was 6.se0. and the amount asked for in these was $s4.- ss5. 900.
 The loan is quoted today at one- quarter discount.
 Mr. Crisp's associates say that the additional Chinese loan of sl0.o00. 900 being issued in Hamburg has no con- nection whatever with the Crisp loan here.

 WASHINGTON. Oct. l6.-Need of a definite policy for the control and segregation of lepers is urged in re- port issued today by the public heslth service. Comparatively few eases are now in the United States. but the fed eral authorities contend that If the number is to be kept small and the burden of an ever increasing number of lepers ia not to be placed upon fu- ture generations, all "foci of infec- ton" must be controlled and the vic- tins isolated.
 Government reports show that on January 1 there were 146 known cases in this country under the supervision of health authorities of IT states.
