OFFICIALS
Refused Permission to Land
From His Yacht Before
Identity Is Known.
ROYAL FAMILY AT
RETREAT NEAR PISA

Rome, Italy, Sept 14-Their royal
summer vacation has been productive
of some most interesting experiences to
the king and queen of Italy, who have
this year been more in the public eye
than ever owing to the war. They are
at present at their magnificent estate
of San RossOre, near Pisa, but they fire.
quently go to visit the hospitals to see
the wounded soldiers from Africa, to
review troops and take part in other
functions on which the heart of the ma
ton is now, concentrated.
The royal yacht ';Yela" is in con
slant demand. and the king and queen
TOUR along, as they are all excellent
sailors and enjoy the change. Besides,
the princess YOl2nda, who is quite
photographer, has been devoting her
self principally to sea views, or views
in which. the sea enters.

as 1t may seem for a ruler who goes
about in his own kingdom as much as
Victor Emanuel Ill does, he is not
known to many officials.
The -Yela" put into Spezia the other
day and was at once boarded by the
harbor master, who, walking up to
the princess Yolanda. who was about
to take a snapshot of him, exclaimed.
1T is against the rules. you cannot take

Prisoner Blames Blow From
Father on His Head as
Cause of His Crimes.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 14.-Betram G.
Spencer. Springfield's JekyH and Hyde,
and one of the most desperate and re-
markable criminals America has pro-
duced, expiates the crime Of murder in
the electric chair some time during next
week.
After endeavoring to cheat justice by
an insanity plea and twice attempting
to commit suicide, the young slayer APP
parently has become -reconciled to his
fate, and declares that when the warden
summons him for the walk to the death
cell he will pass to his doom without a
tremor.
Spencer's career is one of the most
remarkable in the annals of criminology.
After the crime of murder had been fas-
tened on him, he confessed that he had
been a confirmed thief. since he was >
years old When | couldn't Sleep, he
said, 81 would get up and commit q
burglary and then 90 back to bed and
sleep like baby"
Murdered While Robbing.
The crime for which Spencer is to give
his life is the murder of Miss Martha B.
Blackstone, Smith college graduate and
teacher in the public schools here, on
March 81 1910. Spencer was commit
ting a burglary in the home of Mrs.
Sarah X. Dow and aroused Miss Black
stone, who was stopping there, and Miss
Harriet Dow. The young women con-
fronted him He was wearing p black
mask and had a revolver in his hand.
Throw up Your hands" he shouted.
Both women screamed and Spencer
fired several shots. Two. either of which
was fatal, struck Miss Blackstone, and
Miss Dow was seriously wounded.
Locket ConvictS Him.
Spencer on the way home. stopped to
buy his wife some candy. The next day
he appeared at his place of employment
as usual and lived a normal life amid
the excitement that followed the muir
der until the crime was fastened upon
him by the discovery OF a lOcket he had
dropped on the night of the murder, on
which were inscribed his initials, and
which contained pictures of his mother
and sister.
BlameS Condition to Father.
Spencer's burglaries, according to his
own statements, have extended over all
parts of the United States. He blames
his criminal impulse to his father, who
sturck him over the head with the butt
of a whip when he was a child and dent
ed his skull, he says. He has never been
mentally normal since then, he claims.

RefuSe to Permit King to Land.
On another occasion the king was not

KEEP OFF THE RUNNING BOARDS

The new rule of the Connecticut company which forbids passengers riding on the running boards of the trolley cars throws the greater re- sponsibllity upon the people who vio- late the rule 1t is more than proba- ble that the management does not care whether passengers ride on the running boards or not. when they do so in violation of strict orders and face the peril through contributory negligence.
 The cautious citizen declines to invite the discomfort of such a ride and to take the accompanying risk, which is great. Those who do not mind the discomfort would do well to mind the rule which gives them poor standing in court and makes the recovery of damages by suit all the more uncertain.
 It is possible to get in between the seats, as they do in other states, dur ing the rush hours of travel, and it is safer and no more uncomfortable
 The trolley companies intend to have room enough, but the manage ment cannot always provide seat for all who wish to ride. It is up to those who use the cars to avoid extra perilous positions because they feel in a hurry. It is better to walk than to be crippled

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
WHAT IS A MAN WORTH?

What is a man worth?
 He is worth just as much as he gives of himself. ] You know deal, you have mas tered many sciences ad languages, and accumulated many facts: but how much have you taught? Your learning is gauged, m the scales of truths by precisely what you have sown, not reaped.
 What is a rich man worth? No more, no less, than what he has in vested in human values.
 Our real property is what Bushnell called the property right we get in souls
 The only money well invested is what we get no money for in return.
 The miser who dies worth a mill lion is really not worth a cent.
 The time is coming when public opinion will despise the man who dies millionaire. as being truly worthless. There is so much humanity to invest in.
 Honor love and esteem are for sale in the market of the world; the price is-yourself.
 You cannot save yourself, as you save money.
 That Is very true saying and worth pondering: "Whoso loveth his life shall lose 1t; and whoso giveth his life shall save it."

THE BULLETINS SHORT STORY.
TOMMY'S FIRST ATTEMPT

"You're white as a sheet" his dis tressed mother cried, wringing her hands. My goodness, Tommy, never saw you look so awful before! Where's your brother. Where's Jimmy?"
 Jimmy had arrived by way of the back door some moments previously and now appeared on the scene with both grimy hands full of cookies. He gazed upon his prostrate brother with a singular absence of alarm and com passion and sniffed at the queries as to where and with whom Tommy had been that day.
 Nav, he ain't goin' to be sick Jim my announced positively, taking an- other bite of cooky. He's been snolk- in-thats what"
 Grasping the foot of the bed, Tom mys mother stared first at her eldest sons calm, cooky filled countenance and then at the pale face on the pill low, now distorted with mixture of wrath and physical agony.
 "Tattle- tale!" Tommy groaned at his brother.
 It was so, then! Tommy's mother figuratively rolled up her sleeves. Had not this very question of boys smok- ing been discussed at the last club meeting? It had and she knew pre- cisely what to do. She turned toward the sufferer, who glared at her ar frightedly. Just then it seemed to Tommy that he had enough to bear without the addition of chastisement. He blinked at the cooing tones that fell upon his ear.
 "So it's smoking that did it." his mother said, not at all in anger, but with only polite interest. T wish you had told me what you were go- ing to do, Tommy. I don't like to have you smoking old cigars in the street and getting hold of germs and things, when there's a whole jarful of father 8 good cigars here at home.

THE BOURNE PARCELS POST
 RIDER

MT James L. Cowles of the Postal Progress league. who has spent the best part of his life in promoting pub- lie interests, says of the Bourne zone postal rider:
 Senator Bourne acknowledges that the application of his proposed zone system of rates, would cut down long distance mail traffic and check up business relations between the distant sections of the country It would in- deed levy a tax on our long distance parcels traffic from the east to the Pacific border. 50 per cent. higher than the tax now levied on European produce upon similar parcels posted from Europe to the same section un- der President Taft's existing parcels post conventions.
 Write, telegraph. your senators and congressman to kill this abominable proposition. by substituting therefor the following:
 That the third and fourth classes of mail matter be and are hereby con- solidated under the title of 'merchan- disc with a weight limit of eleven pounds and with rates as follows:
 " On parcels ID to four ounces, one cent; over four ounces mp to eight ounces, two cents; over eight ounces up 10 twelve ounces, three cents; over twelve ounces up to one pound, five cents: for each additional pound or fraction thereof, two cents, making the rate on an eleven pound parcel twenty Live cents. No parcel to be more than three and one-half feet in length, or to occupy more than two cubic feet of space
 Even this proposed improvement of our public service flat rate parcels post would fall far short of satisfying the public need, but 1t would relieve us to a considerable extent from ex- press exploitation, and would be alto gether within the capacity of our transport machinery. If Mir. Hitch cock cannot make 1t pay. We will soon have postmaster general who will In any case, the public gain would far more than counterbalance any possible postal loss, and it would be very easy to increase the rate If the public welfare should demand it."
