SOUGHT TO ROB PRINCESS
Desperado's Bold Attempt Frustrated
BY Courage and Presence of
Mind of Woman.

An ex-sergeant of cavalry, named
Callerani, posing as a police officer,
went to the palace of Princess Herco-
lani at Bologna and, having obtained
an interview, presented her with a
written demand for $500, purporting to
be signed by black hand society.
The man demanded that she should
also hand over her valuable jewelry.
AS the princess absolutely refused to
accede to the request, Callerani fired
at her twice with a revolver. Luckily
the aim was bad and the princess es-
capped injury.
The princess struck him a powerful
blow on the chest, and managed to
ring an electric bell for help. Finding
that the game was up, the man rushed
into an adjoining room, but this af-
forded him no means of escape, and
the princess kept him at bay until the
arrival of the police.
Callerani expended all his spare
cartridges in a fruitless attempt to
smash the lock Of the door, which
offered a means of escape
When arrested Callerani said that
he was out of work and starving

RASH ON FACE FOR 2 YEARS

Sioux Falls, S. D.-"My trouble OF
skin disease started merely as a rash
on my face and neck, but it grew and
kept getting worse until large scabs
would form, tester and break. This
was just on the one side of my face,
but it soon scattered to the other
side. I suffered great deal, especial
ly at night, on account of its itching
and burning I would scratch 1t and
Of course that t-ritated it very much.
This rash was On my face for about
two years, sometimes breaking out
lots worse and forming larger sores.
It kept me from sleeping day or night
for couple of months. My face look
ed disgraceful and I was almost
ashamed to be seen by my friends.
"a friend asked me to try Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I would
battle my face with hot water and a
lot of Cuticura Soap, then | would put
on the Cuticura Ointment. In less
than two days time, the soreness and
inflammation had almost entirely dis
appeared, and In four weeks time you
could not see any Of the rash. Now
my face Is without spot of any kind.
I also use them for my scalp and hair,
They cured me completely" (Signedl

Manv plants al eft-Handed.u

Habits of plants analogous to the
right-handedness and left-handedness
of man have been reported to the
Cambridge, England, Philosophical
society by r. H. Compton.
In an examination of eight varieties
of two-rowed barley, the first leaf was
found to twist to the left in ,5S per
cent. of more than 10000 seedlings,
and an excess of left-handed growth
was found also in millet and in oats.
In corn there seemed to be no
marked tendency either way. No evil
dence of hereditary popularity ap-
pears to have been obtained and no
special significance of the results Is
pointed out.

GOOD TIMES In CANADA
BUSINESS PRosPERINe, TRADE
INCREASING AND FINANCES
IN GOOD SHAPE,

The present tightening up of money
must not be looked upon as being in
any sense brought about by financial
stringency. 1t is really more a period
Of stock-taking resorted to by the
banks to ascertain the true condition
Of the finances and trade of the coun.
try. Legitimate business enterprises
are not affected. Throughout the
States there are those who if allowed
to continue borrowing, would inev-
itably be a means towards precipi-
tating something good deal worse
than they feel now. In Canada, the
conditions are excellent, and it is
safe to, say business was never bet
ter. The pulse of trade is carefully
watched by the Finance Department
of the Dominion government, and it
is illuminative to read portions of the
address Of Hon. w. T. White, the
Finance Minister, delivered few days
ago before the House of Commons.
Mr.. Whites remarks are in part as
follows:
1T falls agreeably to my lot to ex-
tend my most hearty congratulations
to the House and the country upon
the prosperous conditions which it
continues to be our good fortune to
enjoy. l am happy to announce that
the outcome Of the last fiscal year,
which ended on March 81, will prove
even more satisfactory as rejecting
by far the highest pitch to which our
national prosperity has yet attained. l
have every expectation that when the
books are closed, it will be found that
the total revenue will have reached
the splendid total of $16S,250,000, or
an increase over the year 1911-12 Of
over $32,000,000. Some indication of
the magnificent growth of the Domin-
ion may be cleaned from the fact that
this increase in revenue during the Pc
riod of one year almost equals the en-
years ago.
The augmentation Of revenue to
which | have referred has not been
irregular, spasmodic or intermittent
in its nature, but has steadily charac-
terized each month of the entire fiscal
year. 1t was of course mainly derived
from Customs receipts, but the other
sources of revenue-excise, post office
and railways-also gave US very sub
stantial increases"
That in a period Of great finan-
cial stringency not only have we not
been obliged to resort to the con-
gested markets of the world but have
been able to reduce so substantially
1928 ,000,000) the debt of the Domin-
ion, must be a matter of qualification,
both to the House and to the people
Of Canada.
Il believe that during this period
of exceptional money stringency the
credit of the Dominion as reflected in
the quotations of its securities has
maintained itself among the highest
in the world
Owing to the favorable state Of its
finances Canada was in a position to
pay off heavy loan in cash without
recourse to the issue of bills or Sc.

Just a Bit Mixed.

London is laughing over a story
which has recently come out concern
ing Lloyd George. 1t appears that
shortly after the death of King Ed
ward an Englishman travelling in
Wales got into talk with an elderly
Welshman and happened to be the
first to tell him of the kings demise.
"And who might be king now?
asked the Welshman.
why, George is king now"
"George!" he exclaimed in surprise.

warned, she Is fOrearmed, and ready
to meet whatever comes to the house
The ideal wife doesn't boast that
must be just this much Of a composite
creature to her husband
She is the home woman to him and
the enchantress; the business woman
and the holiday maker; she is the con-
fidante and the chum and all these
things besides being the wife of his
bosom, and incidentally very much of
a mother in her maternal feeling to-
ward him.
Pretty? some one asks, for the pa
pers give pages on how to keep hus-
bands love, and it is all based on
a physical attraction Of good looks.
Certainly, she must be good to look
at, but she is not to cultivate her
outer woman to the neglect of the in
ner one. Beauty has it's secret spring
in happiness, you know. All the cold
creams and lotions, bleaches and face
paints in the world fail to compare
with the magic glow that happiness
can paint into a woman's cheek, or
with which it may illumine her eye.
Inspires Her Husband.
She is more than 'showgirl," and
she is wise when she refuses to let her
husbands interest and his pride in her
rest on a basis as material as this one
She is his mental stimulus, his inspir-
alton and his always sympathetic lis
tener. If he fails, there's one person
whose understanding he is sure Of, and
that is his wife's. If he succeeds her
applause sounds sweetest in his ears
Whatever comes, she is ready to share
it with him. For she is the ideal
woman and the ideal wife whose price
is above rubies to her husband, be-
cause she is worth infinitely more to
him from a spiritual standpoint than
all the pigeon blood rubies in the
world pawned would bring.
Trouble Brings Opportunity.
The ideal wife's great opportunity
comes when a mans lips are pressed
to the NORWOOD cup'-Yhatever it
Is. This comes to most men soon
or late, and the wife is the only one

Who is the Ideal Wife and where
does she dwell?
She's that Not Impossible She"
long sought in song and story, Of
course-and she dwells safe IN the
heart OF her husband
No other niche in life fits or could
comfortably hold such a rara avis as
the Ideal Wife.
Since her price is above rubies, one
naturally does not expect to find her
enshrined In any temple made with
hands. True, she may dwell in a pal
ace, but her real home Is in the heart
created for her to fill-that of the man
whose ideal is realized in the qualities
that 80 to make her what she is.
What, says one Is an ideal wife ?
How would a man know If he came
across that extraordinary creature?
And the question opens up avenues for
a hundred definitions of ideal wife.
For rs there are many men of many
minds, so there are quite as many
men with quite as many hearts. And
quite as varied ideas Of what ideal
qualities will be met and nodded in
the creature who shall mean all per
lection to them.
Must Have Many Qualities.
The ideal wife is not type she is
an individual. One woman may en-
body all the qualities Of an ideal wife
to one man, and be quite as much Of a
mismate to another 1t depends alto
gether on such number of things
sympathy with mans ideals, of his
motives, appreciation of his big and
good points and an infinite charity for
those in which he fails-and all these
60 to make up that perfect under
standing in which two souls are held
Is one.
A man needs a wife who can work
with him and who can play with him.
Who can point him to the dream .
even in the business Of everyday liv-
ing; who can hold his faith up to the
high ideal Of the best and the truest
and put her shoulder CALAMITY to the
wheel and help him get to 1t.
An ideal wife should be more than a
figurehead to a mans house, though

cry and vanity sitting gracefully upon
them The other qualities for the
time were quiescent. AS ideal wives
they played many roles and did each
part equally well.
Is this not, then, the most dominant
quality in the ideal wife-her adapta-
bility? An actress skill is in adjust
ing her makeup to every role she
plays and in keeping the performance
up to high pitch of interest and al
ways carrying the hearts of those in
the house with her.
When her husband is a clerk with a
small salary she is the one who &C
cepts Harlem with the spirit Of the
little queen who played at housekeep-
ing up on the heights and makes Of it
quite as good a game as the people
down town were doing.
She is the same woman who, when
the lean days are passed, is prepared
to move with her husband, no mat
ter how much finer and fairer his
friends have grown. For she has
moved with him. They are still
keeping step, fine comrades and ideal
mates.
Ready for Anything.
If great good fortune places them
high in political position she is ready
to assume her share Of the new pros
perity and to carry 1t off with grace
and distinction. Just as If the reverse
had come and they had lost all, she'd
be ready to pin on her hat and swing
out independent OF him to make liv-
ing for them both, maybe, until he
should get back on his feet.
Whatever comes, she is ready for
it, for hers is the "anticipatory
glance" that sees the shadow that be-
tokens the coming of events before
any one else does. And, being fore

to death together 1t is a story so
often told that it does not need repe-
tition here. But the wife who quietly
stayed by her husbands side, because
she felt that with him was to be pre-
ferred to life without him, must have
realized all to that husband that any
ideal wife can hope to be.
Such a one takes the fortunes Of

Love the Chief Factor.

But the times may have changed
without changing a great part of peo
pie. And however advanced a man
may be in other matters, every man
cherishes a dream that one Of these
days he is going to meet the ideal
woman and marry her. He knows what
she will be like, and though he may
look with a certain large-minded in
diligence on her new-fashioned fOibles,
he'll seek deeper for the foundation
of her real character and to learn
what her real feeling about love is.
There never was an ideal wife who
didn't have very real and deep feel
ing on this point. She may be frivo-
lous to the limit on the subject Of
clothes; she may adore fashion and
be as light-hearted and irresponsible
as a kitten, and still have some very
rare and fine feelings about the big
gest and most important issue of all
love; and, having this, the man may
find her, and most often does, the
ideal wife.
For the vanity and the foOlishness
pass away; they were but parts Of her
joyous youth, leaving the best part
of what it was to grow bigger and
better and to make a corner stone
of the home of which she will be the
guiding spirit.-Rita Reese, in the
New York Press.

A wife can't be a figurehead on the
matrimonial ship. If the voyage is to
be safe, happy and prosperous one
the captain sees to it that she has real
duties and responsibilities to take
upon her. A first mate is an excel
lent position for such one. And she
seldom falls down when she assumes
the duties that go with this position.
The pioneers wife was the ideal
wife for the man who had to go forth
to face all the danger of frontier life
Those pioneer women have come down
to US in history. and we see first that
they possessed a great gift of adapt
ability
For not all Of them were hardly
daughters of the soil, Injured to face
the dangers that went with forest

cately reared women. who bad never
put their hands to anything more
laborious than fine needlework and ex-
Quisite tapestry. Yet those accom-
plishments were put aside when they
faced new dangers and real work
They fell to it with a vengeance and
adapted themselves to breech-loading
shotgun practice as readily as in the
old days they played the light games
Of the leisure classes In their far-off
homes across the sea-

Again these women, as time went
on. proved themselves quite as adapt
able when conditions again changed.

Keep Your individuality.

The idea that there is a kind of in- equality for woman in minding her own business and letting man do the same, comes from our confused and rather stupid notion of the meaning of equality.
