The mayor and commissioners, with
the exception of Roy L. Bone, jumped

Pulimt il car this morning and drove
to the Detention hospital. The visit
was for the purpose of investigating
the site with a view to locating the
tuberculosis camp there. To be or not
to be? The camp must be moved
within thirty days The city fathers
approved the location. but it is under
stood that the patients object.
The Detention hospital is located
half mile south of the Topeka ceme-
terry and stands in the right hand cor
ner of ten broad, sunny acres owned
by the city. If the camp were stu
ated in the tract. the detention home
would be surrounded by a high picket
fence. The patients could not inter
mingle. The militant matron of the
hospital, however. strenuously OBJ
jected.
Look heah, man. she said to the
astonished Commissioner Porter,

Won't have it. That's all there is
about it,
The ground is high and breezy. Sew
eral large trees give inviting shade. A
narrow brook flows at the lower cor
ner of the small plateau. An old
wooden house formerly used as a de-
tention home, could be fumigated and
used by the tubercular patients in case
of necessity.

excellent location the mayor declared.
A solitary smallpox patient. Harry
Willard of Oakland, strolled about in
the proximity of the hospital and
watched the proceedings with interest.
If the commission officially approve
the site, it will be up to the officers

The detention hospital is frequently I'M

would not come in contact with the
smallpox patients in any case.
The cost of moving the camp, accord
ing to the mayor, would not exceed $50
The funds at present, according to DIR,

months. The camp is supported by
county CONSTITUTIONS and private
funds. Subscriptions are received by

On Beacon Hill, in Boston, under the

marriages and deaths in Massachu-
sets from 1913 make a complete rec
ord, showing not only where people
were born and where they died, but
also statistics which are vital in maxi

records were kept in the different
towns, but now they are all concern

SOUGHT TO ROB PRINCESS
Desperado's Bold Attempt Frustrated
sy Courage, and Prevents 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 iewelry.
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 powerful
blow on the chest and managed to
ring an electric bell for help. Finding
that the game vas 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 fruitless attempt to
smash the lock of the door which
offered means of escape.
When arrested Callerani said that
he was out of work and starving.

Freezing an Easy Death.

Freezing to death, writes medical
authority, is preceded by a drowsiness
which makes the end painless-the
body actually feels warm and goes
comfortably to sleep. Experiments
have been made with animals to show
just how freezing to death proceeds.
In one of these experiments. in.
which the animal was placed in tenn
perature of 125 to $50 degrees below
zero. the breathing and heart beats
at first were quickened, the organic
heat OF the body actually rising above
normal.
This rising showed sudden and an
intense effort on the part of functions
to preserve the body's temperature.
Then the violent heart action gave out
suddenly and death came when the
temperature Of the body dropped to

Who is the Ideal Wife and where
does she dwell?
She's that mot 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 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 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 go to make her what she is.
What, says one, is an ideal wife?
How would man know If he came
across that extraordinary creature?
And the question opens up avenues for
a hundred definitions of ideal wife.
For as 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

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 a 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
go to make up that perfect under
standing in which two souls are held
rs one.
A man needs 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 trnest
and put her shoulder CALAMITY to the
wheel and help him get to it.
An ideal wife should be more than 6
