DIARY OF FATHER TIME

Less than 1000 years ago our An
glo-Saxon forefathers began to do
away with the old-time right of re-
venge and substituted the "evergild"
or fine, of which our judicial fines are
a survival.
The teeth, hair, nails and other
parts had their peculiar value, the
hair being especially priced.
The loss of the beard. Twas estimat-
ed at SIS, while broken thigh was
worth only So. The loss of a front
tooth was recognized at $3.50 and a
fractured rib at Is cents.
The value of man varied accord
ing to his rank, the royal ''thegn" or
lord being rated as high as $500.

nowhere but on the streets or into
the cafes.
So onto the streets she went. Not
to be vicious. Just to be human; to
get some fun in relief from the strain
of exhausting toll
The chief informed her of the haz-
ards of her choice. And fortunately,
in this instance, was able to bring her
into touch with a motherly elder wo-
man who has perhaps saved her soul.
But he cannot help to do as well
toward all. Youth will have fellow
ship, wisely or i'll. Isn't society to
blame when there is nowhere to
go?"

NOWHERE TO GO"

NOWHEkE IL GU
Rochester, N. Y, is fortunate in be-
ing city with a human being as it's
chief of police. Chief Quigley holds
it to be the first of his duties to sew
the stitch in time which saves nine.
His men are taught to try to antici-
pate and prevent crime.
Here is a significant incident which
came within his notice not long ago:
One night a cop in plain clothes
saw two young women pause on a
prominent street as two young men
addressed them; smile; interchange
whispered words and start with the
men in the direction of a cafe.
No law had been broken, but the
cop recalled that he had seen one of
the girls a few evenings before drink
ing with man in place not above
suspicion.
He took a chance. He butted in.
He approached the young woman,
begged word in private, led her a
few steps away from her companion,
showed her his police star and said
the chief wanted to see her.
A hardened woman probably would
have made a scene. This one didn't.
She went with the policeman quietly
to the station, where the chief talked
to her as a good father would. Her.
story, later confirmed, was the old,
old story.
Born in poverty, denied adequate
schooling, she had had to work for
self-support. She toiled all day at
firing tasks for just enough pay to
keep her afloat. With night came the
human craving for companionship.
But, alas, there was nowhere to co.

NEW YORK, July 2s.--One OF the
cleyerest restore tons OF g painting
ever made was that conducted under
the supervision OF New York ex-
pert not long since. BY reason OF the
great age OF the picture the canvas,
which was about six feet square, had
become rotten. The first step in the
work OF restoration was the gluing,
by means of vegetable compound.
OF a thick piece OF manila paper over
the face of the painting. The picture
was then turned over and from its
back there was picked, thread by
thread. all the rotten canvas. This
delicate operation required four days
tor its completion. At the end OF that
time all that remained OF the origi-
nal work was a delicate shell OF pig
ment glued by its face to piece Of
paper.
The rest of the task was compare
lively easy. The expert covered the
bare back OF the painting with strong
flsh glue and fastened to IL new
piece OF canvas. The manila paper
was then, by means OF hot water, re-
moved from the face OF the painting
