even at night; we never get a chance
to cool off. The little girl is very sick
today; her cough has been troubling
her. / wish / could take her back
to my home, this is not a fit place
to keep her.
The father of the family is employed
as a worker on the city streets. The
house is in a bad condition, and the
furnishings are incomplete. The one
bed which they have is padded with
straw. Besides this they have only
a small cot. on which there are a
few old blankets, and they do part of
their cooking in tin cans. The little
boy, Howard, aged 3. takes his nap
with a small piece of mosquito netting
spread over him, but the flies are -nu-
merous enough almost to cover this
and crawl under it. The girl is so
weak that she can scarcely sit up.
Ice will be furnished to the family
by the Palladium ice fund.

SWISS GUARDS AT
VATICAN IN MUTINY

ROME, July 1S.-A mutiny among
the vatican Swiss guards-the second
within four days-occurred today. Up
on orders from Pope Plus X. the sold
iers were seized. disarmed and placed
under arrest. They were replaced by
gendarmes who may remain as the
permanent military police at the vati-
can.
Attempts to curtail the wine supply
of the Swiss guards led to the disaf-
lection. Hitherto the guardsmen were
allowed an unlimited supply of wine.
When orders were issued cutting
down the drink allowance the men be-
gan TO murmur and finally refused to
do guard duty. That was four days
ago. 4 truce was patched up but
when the second outbreak took place
today the men were put under arrest.

girl on the street corner. We were
talking quietly, when a copper came
up and pinched me. I don't recollect
the charge, but 1 do recoIlect that I
paid s22 as a fine. So, you see, take
no chances. They've got to make reg

they don't get to have the chance to
rope me in on a matrimonial scheme.

The news ferret didn't exactly see.
However, Van Buskirk was informed
that anything the scribe could do for
