WARS CAUSED BY TRIPLES

Many times il has happened that a
great and costly war has been brought
about by an incident trivial and even
ridiculous. Thus the war OF the Span
ish succession Is said 10 have been
caused through glass of water. A
lady, Mrs. Masham. was carrying q
glass OF water, when she was OBJ
structed by the Marques de Torey. A
slight scuff1e ensued. and the water
was split. The marques theroat took
offense and bad feeling ensued be-
tween the English and French courts,
with the ultimate result that war
was declared.
AS absurd In It's origin was the war
that took place during the common
wealth OF Modena A soldier stole a
bucket from public well belonging
to the state OF Bologna. Although the
value OF the article did not exceed 80
cents. its annexation was the signal
for a fierce and prolonged war. Hen
~. the king OF Sardinia, assisted the
Modenese to retain the bucket, and
in one of the subsequent battles he
was made a prisoner. The bucket Is
still exhibited in the tower of the
cathedral OF Modena.
A third instance OF a war resulting
from a trifing cause was that be-
tween Louis VII of France and Henry
II. of England. The archbishop of
Rouen decreed that no one should
wear long hair upon the head or chin
Louis submitted to the decree, where
up his wife, Eleanor, rallied him
upon his appearance. A quarrel en-
sued, which resulted in the dissolution
of the marriage and Eleanor's mar
riage with Henry. By this marriage
the broad domains In Normandy, for
merly belonging to Louis. passed into
the possession OF Henry. Louis. hotly
incensed. made an attack on Norman
dy, and henceforth for nearly three
hundred years were waged those dew
astating wars which cost France up
wards of 3.OO000 lives.

WELL TWENTY MILES DEEP

Perhaps the most idiotic of all the
many idiotic schemes with which Brit
ons have been enamored in days gone
by was that which was at the time
of Braile's big well. NJ. Braile was
Belgian engineer, residing tempo
rarily in this country, who. in 184S.
approached the then prime minister
Lord John RusselD, with a scheme
for sinking a huge shaft, a mile in
diameter and 20 miles in depth. that
should tap the earth's internal heat,
and thereby render England independ-
ent of her coal supply when this gave
out.
Lord Russell, always rather attract
ed by visionary projects. attentively
considered the scheme, and caused
plans and estimates to be drawn up.
The first difficulty was the thrush OF
water, which would have been GER
tain to occur sooner or later. This it
was proposed to keep under by pump
ing, caissons being used for the pur-
pose of further excavation, while the
finished portion of the shaft was to be
rendered watertight by Jacket" of
granite set in Portland cement.
Mad as the scheme was, 1t found
plenty of advocates. and provisional
bill had been, it was said, actually
drafted, when the overthrow of the
government on the franchise question
was announced, and the whole busi-
mes was thenceforth consigned to
well-merited oblivion.

ORIGIN OF CRESCENT ROLL

The story OF the origin of the cres
cent-shaped Vienna roll is worth re.
calling. 1t arose in the sixteenth cen.
fury, when the Turks were besieging
Vienna, and failing to carry it by as.
sault. began to drive mines under the
walls. At that period the city's bake
houses were in the walls under the
Notifications, and when the mines
were almost through the sound of the
work was heard in the underground
bakehouses and the alarm given. Il
was to celebrate this event that the
bakers adopted the Turkish emblem
as the shape In which to make their
bread.

Chapter TX.
After a few weeks or months Of
unrestrained gayety, the girl who has
strayed from the path must pay the
reckoning.
Often the man escapes, but the
girl never does. If retribution does
not follow in one form, it will in an
other. When the young girls who are
''joy-riding'' and making merry now
in cabarets and dance halls are shut
up in detention homes or worse, the
men who are now their companions
probably will be still at liberty, enjoy
ing the society of new girls.
And these new girls" are still the
jewels Of happy homes. They haven't
been taken yet.
Now, what happens after girl IS
declared delinquent?
She's usually taken to the juvenile
half That's where 1 am now.
No fault can possibly be found with

But-liberty is lacking.
It's a startling change from white
lights, Whirring automobiles and gay
cafes. Our clothes are not worn in
the home. Instead we wear plain
garments like painting-aprons. Uni

There we stay, being taken to town
occasionally to testify against men.
Our prospect is the reform school,
if we're bad, and probation with some
family if we behave ourselves.

personality.
Suppose the court gets her. Then
she goes to a home.
Suppose it doesn't get her. Then
her prospect is dark indeed: There's
always the chance of capture by
white slavers and introduction to
life of shameful bondage.
Or else, if she escapes that, she is
often sent to hospital to die.
Or her people cast her out of their
lives, try to forget her, shut their
doors against her and she becomes a
vagrant, a wanderer from city to city.
Go up to the police court Of any
big city and almost any day you'll
see those women come up. They've
spent night in jail and then they're
herded into a railed-off space and,
one by one, stand up when the judge
calls their names.

''WelI, Annie, if l suspend sentence

''An right, $50 days suspended.
