BALTIMORE, June ga mix-up in

unpleasant experience yesterday after
noon, when she left the Democratic

1t had been planned by Mrs. Mack to
have her automobile waiting for the
Presidents wife outside the main en-

the session adjourned the party waited
until most Of the crowd had gotten out
side the building, then proceeded down
the main aisle to the door.
Crowd Surrounds Party.
No automobile was waiting at the
door. however, and in the meantime
word had passed through the crowd
that Mrs. Taft was about to leave.

from the building and stood waiting fol-

Minutes passed and still no automo-

from the silent depths Of the denser
woods came the sharp report of a RI
fe. The shock of the bullet sent the
young fellow staggering back among
the mossy and myrtle-covered graves.
For a moment no one grasped what
had happened, only there was Norton
who seemed to grope strangely among
the graves. Black spots danced before
his eyes. the little group by the church
merged into the distance-always re-
ceding, always more remote, as he
stumbled helplessly over the moss and
the thick dank myrtle and among the
round graves that gave him a treach-
erous footing; and then he heard Bet
tvs agonized cry. He had fallen now.
and his strength went from him, but
he kept his face turned on the group
before the church in mute appeal, and
even as the shadows deepened he was

QUEER LEAP-YEAR CUSTOMS.
They All Go Back to Ancient European
Superstitions.

History gives the ladies leap-year
privilege" as a well-accepted fact. II
Is an old one, becoming a part of the
common law of social life in Great
Britain as early as 1906. "Courtship,
Love and Matrimony," published In
that year, says:
Albeit it is nowe become a part OF
the common lave, in regard to the So
cial relations of life, that as often as
every bissextile year doth return, the
ladyes have the sole privilege, during
the time it continueth, Of making love
unto the men, which they doe either by
words or lookes, as to them 1t seemeth
proper; and moreover no man will be
entitled to the benefit Of clergy VINO
doth in any wise treate her proposal
with slight or contuely."
One legend by which it is attempted
to account for the origin Of the priv
ilege relates that an appeal was made
to st. Patrick to accord the women
the same right of proposing at any
time as the men have. This he refus-
ed, but was willing to concede the
right every seventh year. Finally, as
compromise, he agreed that women
should enjoy the right every four years
and that this year should be the long
est Of the four.
In 1888 it Is said that a law was en-
acted in Scotland that:
1T Is slut and ordeint that during
the rein of hir maist blissit megests.
for like years known as lepe year, lik
maiden ladye Of both highe and lowe
estate shall hae liberte to bespeake ye

talk hir to be his lawful wife, he shall
be mulcted in ye sum ane pundid or
less, as his estait may be; except and
avis gif he can make it appeare that
he is betrothit ane ithr woman he
shall be free"
A like law is said to have been pass
ed in France about the same time. In
the fifteenth century the custom was
legalized in Genoa and Florence. In
Scotland, in later years, and perhaps
at present, the women have the priv

HOW LOUIS NAPOLEON ESCAPED
In the Disguise of Workman He
Passed the Guard.

In discussing the origin of Louis
Napoleon's nickname of "Badinguet"
some details were given incidentally
of his escape from the fortress Of
Ham, in northern France, on May 25,
1916. Fuller details are now available,
thanks to the researches of NJ. Thirria,
and in view of the escape of Captain
Lux they have a special interest at
the present moment.
1t seems that the sole credit for the
escape must lie with Louis Napoleon
himself. He made his valet, Thelin,
buy a black wig, some rouge, a cap
which was scrubbed with pumice stone
and a pair Of sabots. Then he cut off
his mustache, put on a blue apron, a
blue pair of trousers and a close fit
ting shirt of coarse stuff.
Some workmen were carrying out
some repairs to that part of the fort
ress where the prince lodged and this
gave color to his disguise, so much
so that the two watchmen entertain
ed no suspicious regarding the man
who walked past them and out at the
great gate. a pipe in his mouth and a
plank on his shoulder The sergeant
on duty at the drawbridge was reading

went himself to the princes room and
walked up to the bed on which the

had taken the place of Louis Napoleon.
The discovery was made too late. BY

ANCIENT MONEY eETTERs.
Understood Their Business as We'll a,
Those of Modern Tjnnes.

Understood Their Business as Well az
Those of Modern Times.
Man is prone to do injustice TO the
are very firm in the belief that the
getting Of the other fellows money
has become an art only in recent
times, yet the fact Is that man Is
pretty much the same in one age as
in another. You are probably famil-
lar with the name Of one Euclid Of
the ancient world, the father Of ge-
ometry, he who, when he had solved
his thirty-seventh proposition, ex-
claimed Eureka" and who in thanks
giving for that event is said to have
sacrificed a hecatomb. Now a heca-
tomb was 100 oxen, which, It must be
admitted, was a considerable sacri-
flee II ancient oxen were anything like
the red steers Of our day and time,
for whose toothsome steaks we pay
fancy prices in this market.
This Euclid has, for some centuries
been looked upon as a professional
gentleman of particularly high ideals,
and, because of his notable burning
of oxen, and his conception Of 'the
one and ALL" deeply religious as we'll.
1t has not occurred to many Of us to
think Of him as a money grabber. But
he must have been one in theory,
whether in practice or not.
We are not inclined to believe that
he would have been a success on Wall
street. A proper scrutiny of the his
tory of his period reveals the fact
that Euclid taught the scholars Of his
school a mathematical figure in which
he showed that the lives Of princes and
Of private men everywhere tended to
one center, to get money out Of other
mems pockets and put 1t into their
own."
It must be admitted that in the
matter Of reducing his system to a
geometrical certainty Euclid went a
little beyond anything that the high
financiers Of our own generation have
accomplished. But he made one fatal
mistake Instead of keeping 1t to
himself and applying 1t, he taught 1t
to his students. Even now, though
most of us are anxious for our sons
to know how to get money, 1t Is likely
that the teacher who taught money
grabbing in the school room would not
be particularly popular. The citizens
Of Megara probably felt about the mat
ter very much as we would, only they
were little more vigorous Of treat
ment. We would probably protest to.
the school board, but the irate inhabi-
tants of the ancient world fell foul Of
Euclid and gave him a sound beating.
Which merely proves that Euclid was
lacking in discretion in some respects.
II not in business acumen.
Euclid. however, became famous In
spite Of being a money grabber, and
suffering his methods to be found out.
The telling of this tale will not hurt
his reputation He will remain the
same respectable old school man that
he has been for these centuries. And
1t may be that, somewhere down the
ages, our great money grabbers will
be held in veneration even as Euclid
now is, but, unlike Euclid, none of them
had added scientific discovery to the
exploitation of the acquisitive talent.

that l made the statement to which

facts-you take exception.
81 have been aware for nearly a
week that recognized spokesmen for
Gov. Wilson were industriously cir
culating the story that the real reason
why Gov. Wilson broke with Col. Har-
vey was that Col. Harvey had tried
to bring Mr. Thomas F. Ryan into the
governors campaign. But until you
gave credence to the story, 1t could
not be invested with any responsible
authority. It's origin was mysterious,
its circulation surreptions, conse-
quently there has beeen up TO this time
nothing either to deny or recognize.
Lie Of Whole Cloth.
Now. senator, know of my own
knowledge that that story Is lie
made out of whole cloth. If any per-
son ventures to question this asser-
ton, have in my possession proof
conclusive which l hold myself ready
to place before your honest and truth
seeking mind.
II do not accuse Gov. Wilson of orig
mating or circulating this invention,
manufactured to make hero or MIN
at the expense Of the friend who has
most effectually served him. l do not
assume that he is aware of the bastard

agents. but the fact remains that
Gov. Wilson knows as we'll as l do
that the story is false. He may or may

Col. Harvey. That is a matter of which
he must be the judge. But l do insist
that he owes it to his honor to re-
pudate the story and to disaVow

umny into the public mind.

ITALY AND TURKEY.
Everybody Wants to Quit, But Mo-
bodv Seems to Know How.


body Seems to Know How.
Although the work Of the European
diplomatic chancellors, says a Rome
dispatch, has been prosecuted actively
In Constantinople and Rome during
the past few days In an attempt to
find a way to peace between Italy and
Turkey, no basis has yet been found.
In reply to suggestions from various
embassies, Turkey answers that the
powers, II they want peace should in
duce Italy to make concessions, as
Turkey cannot accept the spoliation
she has suffered without redress.
The representatives Of the powers
declare that If pressure were brought
to bear on the porte through the am
bassadors and the porte should resist
as everything appears to indicate
would be the case either the powers
would have to withdraw and suffer hu-
initiation or have recourse to coercion
This would mean making a collective
naval demonstration in Turkish wa
ters, which would ultimately end in a
landing in Constantinople and would
raise the general European conhagra-
ton which all hope to avoid.
Gioabanni Giolatti, the italian pre-
mier, still hopes that Italy will be able
to force Turkey to ask for peace. For
that reason the convocation Of parlia-
ment instead of occurring at the end
Of January has been postponed until
February and it even may be delayed
until March.
In the meantime the commander-in-
chief of the expedition force in Tripoli
has arranged to make a general ad-
vance into the interior and hopes dur
ing February to take the first decisive
step in this direction by occupying the
country as far inland as SIXTY miles
| from the coast. .'''.
