RUNNING
AWAY
BY Belle Mandates

Rita heard the fatal "All Aboard"
as she rushed through the station
gate. She kept up her pace, however
and as the train was about to start
she gained the platform Of the last
coach. She tried to open the door,
but 1t was securely locked. At the
first little village, the train stopped
and Rita was about to descend the
steps and make her way to another
coach, when a man swung on to the
platform beside her.

ously, ito go to the next carr"
Il can let you In this way" he
said, unlocking the door.
II was quite dark and Rita could
only discern tall, straight figure in
the dusk. She considered that he was
a railway official, and followed him
into the coach which was unoccupied.
II believe the other cars are all
crowded." he remarked, "but you are
welcome to ride in my private car"
He turned in the aisle to face her
as he spoke.
"Oh, Mr.. MAXWELL" she cried de

He looked interestedly into the
piquant little face upturned to his
and look of pleased recognition
lighted his eyes.

IN GOOD QUEEN BESS' TIME
Standard Of Education Was Higher
Than That Of Living, According
to Accounts.

The etiquette and service Of the age
were very elaborate; the books of
courtesy, of carving and the numerous
works on manners that fill the period
seem to contain directions to occupy
q lifetime. And though the state Of
society and manners was crude In
many ways and the standard OF house
hold comfort and cleanliness very low
(as witness the household books of
Henry VIII, still the conditions Of
life do not seem to have been actually
much harder on women than on men,
Helen Hay Wilson writes in Harpers
The education of women was In pro-
portion as good as that of men and
carried on In much the same way. And
as men improved women improved
with them. When the moral force came
the standard of womens education was
raised at once. The Princess Elizabeth
was well skilled in Greek and Latin
and Lady Jane Grey devoted student
OF Plato. This is Harrison's descrip.

Really lntnrestlna item.

"A newspaper receives daily for
publication" says the Berllner Tage-
blatt, "a lot of stuff which has about
as much literary value as a laundry
slip. But occasionally something
comes along which, unknown to the
writer, is so funny that 1t sees the
light of publicity. Thus, cores
spondent calls attention to the fact
that the drama Royal Love- which
was seen for the first time at the Gira
Theater, is by Baron Rosenkranz,
who is direct descendant of Rosen-
kranz and Guildenstern, known to the
world through Shakespeare"

AUTOMOBILE HAS A WING
French Motor Car Is Driven In the
Same Manner as an
Aeroplane.

A successful trial run was made re-
Gently from Paris to London, about
800 miles. by a motor car driven by
a revolving wing. the Paris Figaro
states.
The vehicle, which was designed by
M. Bertrand de Lesseps, and is called
the winged car" has the appearance
of an ordinary motor car, ave that
in front it is shaped like the prov
of a ship. From the extremity Of
the prov extends a shaft to which is
attached the propeller-or revolving
wing-invented by NJ. Fflippi.
The wing is small, strong and
thick and revolves within a protect
ing cage. The engine Isl of 40 horse
power and rotates the wing by shaft
and chain transmission.
There is no other mechanism, the
wheels of the car being free, except
for footbrakes. By the side of the
driver is a single lever which controls
the clutch and the forward and re-
verse movement of the wing. The
wing can be reversed at a moments
motive, thereby forming an additional
brake. In the trial runs a speed of
62 miles an hour was obtained with
2,100 revolutions of the wing a min
ute. One curious feature was that
the car made no dust.

CRACKED AND BLEED

st. Clair, Monty trouble began
about fifteen years ago. 1t was what
some claimed eczema. The form the
disease worked under was a breaking
out with watery blisters on my hands
which would then dry and scale, and
then would follow the trouble of
cracking and bleeding, also itching
and hurting. My hands were disfg-
ured at the time, and sore. The trou-
Bile was very annoying, and disturbed
my sleep. This last February it was
ever so much worse than before. l
did not do all my work on account of
the condition Of my hands. l could
not put them in water without max
ing them worse. / tried a lot of home
remedies, also salves and liniments
that claimed to be a cure for the
trouble, but I did not obtain a cure.
Eat last I saw the advertisement for
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent
for a sample. I thought they would
cure, SO l sent for a f%ifty-cent box of
Cuticura Ointment and some Cuti-
cura Soap. A doctor advised me to
keep ahead with the Cuticura Soap

ENDS PALAIs ROYAL
Famous Estate in France to Be
Transformed by Wreckers.
Noted Rendezvous for Many Well
Known Characters Centuries Ago
to Make Way for New Paris
Rourse or Board of Trade.

Paris.-At last it is settled that the
old Palais Royal is to disappear. The
bourse, or Paris board of trade, or
Wall street, or Fourth avenue, of
Paris, is about to take the place of
the old palace, which was the adorn-
ment of the Paris Of our g~reat-grand-
fathers. This center of frivolous and
corrupted Paris of the distant past is
doomed to disappear beyond redemp-
lion. The Society of the Friends Of
Old Paris are powerless to save it.
Indeed, 1t has been dead this many
a day, 1t has become a cemetery
without mourning, a metropolis with
out poetry. There is hardly a dream
Of its past that has not been de-
stroyed.
The great square Is given over to
children and their nurses. No gild-
ed successors of the bedizened beau
ties of the past now promenade the
Galerie de Montpensier. A few be-
draggled creatures, nurtured by pow
erty, rather than by vice, occasionally
traverse this ruined Palace of Pleas
ure. Even the jewelry shops have
long since moved away.
In the beginning Of the eighteenth
century the Palais Royal was a sort
of open-air club where people dis
cussed the happenings of Europe and
Of Paris from world politics to pri-
vate i~ntrigues, big things and little;
he Versailles and the opera; the side
lights of history and the history Of,
sidelights.
When the Duke d'Orleans of that
iay-crusffed with debts-suppressed
4 part of the famous garden to estab-
lish shops, the shopkeepers made a
fortune. The Orleans family opened
he garden to the bourgeoisie, and
the latter opened access for the Or
cans family to the throne from which
Louis Philippe fell for having trusted
the bourgeoisie too much.
The Palais Royal is remembered as
The place where Richelieu died, where
Anne of Austria saw the throne of
young Louis XIV. threatened, where
he bogus financier, the Scotchman
Law, sought ar asylum, where Phil
lppe Egalite after having voted
for the death Of Louis XVI. had to
stand for an hour before his own
head was cut off. 1t is much remem-
bered for its orgies during the Re-
gency.
But to mans credit, be it noted, that
this old palace is most wildly re-
membered because here Camille Des-
moulins harangued the people and dis
tributed green leaves and rallied.
them to take the bastile the next day.
Napoleon l. used the old palace as a

SLEUTH ROBBED BY SHERIFF
California Peace officer Takes Starch
Out Of Detective by Going
Through His Pockets.

Sn Francisco.-There is a detective
in Chicago who was invited to dinner
as a guest Of Sheriff Barnett Of Ala
media county, across the bay from this
city, and under the mellowing iniu-
ence Of the occasion became some
what boastful of his shrewdness.
Thereupon Barnett distracted from
the Chicago mans pockets q watch
and all the money there was in them.
Later In the evening Barnett turned
over the articles to the detectives
companion, who war n of the party,
and explained the matter to him.
Now Barnett displays with much
glee the following letter from Chi
cago:
Il, the greatest detective Of Chi
cago, am disgraced and Inundated.

Barber Shops In China,

Since the Chinese revolution a
great many Chinese have had their
cue cut off, and this has led to the
opening Of a large number Of barber
shops throughout the far east wher-
ever Chinese are located, says an e x
change. Several progressive business
men Of Singapore, anticipating this,
imported a large number Of American
barber chairs, and they r now un-
able to get supplies quickly enough.
1t has also been learned that the Chi
nese insist on having American hair
clippers, and refuse all other makes
offered them.
1t would seem that American manu-
f%acturers Of BARRIERS supplies should
experience a large increase In their
Oriental trade.
