Maoic italian Lakes.

Every one knows how beautiful the
italian lakes are and how luxuriant is
the vegetation on their banks. This
is due to a large extent to the heat alb
aorbed in summer by the water stored
up and given out slowly in cold wealth
err
A calculation has been made by
scientist named Vercelli. He esti-
mates that Lake Como has an area
Of 136 square kilometers and an aver
age depth of about six hundred feet;
in some places the depth is twice
that.
During midsummer this mass OF
water absorbs each bright day an
amount of heat equal to that produced
by burning $4,000 tons of coal. This
storing up of heat goes On from the
end of February until the water
reaches its highest temperature IN
August.
From that time on the water gives
out heat to the surrounding stones
until spring comes again, so that it IS
no wonder that this region is a floral
paradise.

A CITY ORDINANCE NEEDED.
VIII Put Money in Idle Young Mems
Pockets.

If the City Council will pass an ordi-
nance compelling all automobiles and
motorcycles TO toot their horn or sound
the honk before coming to corners
where they are about to turn or cross
an intersecting street. and will make
it a penalty and fine not to do so. one
half the fine to be given to the inform
er, it will put money into the pockets
of many idle young men who stand on
street corners and in front of stores
with nothing to do.
1t is a poor.rule that does not work
both ways. The United States Gov
eminent requires all motor boats to
carry life preservers, bells (they seldom
use) lights, horns, etc, etc. and makes
the owners subject to 500 line in case
of violation.
Why not prevent loss Of life on land
by compelling automobiles to sound
their approach.

ROSE GARDEN FOR ACADEMY.
Management Plans Picturesque In
novation for Baltimore Theatre,

The New Academy of Music, Balti-
more, is to have Rose Promenade"
and conservatory, where patrons
may stroll between the acts and after
the show
Climbing rosevines, springing
from a prepared garden at thu foot,
will cover the walls of the wide circu-
lar corridor and spread over the cell
ing. Mixed with the real plants will
be artificial roses, with small colored
electric lights as their centres.
On the right of the promenade
near the entrance will be ladies rest
and cloak room and on the left will
be a large check-room for men. In
both rooms there will be a special
telephone service for carriage and
automobile calls. This will mark the
passing of the megaphone man.
Leading from the "Rose Prone
made" the flower path will terminate
in the conservatory, which will be
in the present concert hall. Screen
ed by potted plants and shrubs there
will be numerous small tables,
scattered about will be rustic bench

few minutes in chattering and lis
tening to the music of a string or
chestra.
According to the present arrange
ments, the conservatory will be open

SO that parties attending matinee can
have afternoon tea parties there
before going home. Work upon the
innovation will start Immediately
upon the conclusion of the prese nj

Putting 1t Up to Auto Drivers.

A Chicago jury has found an auto
driver guilty of murder in the second
degree for running down and killing a
pedestrian. The plea of the driver in
his own defense was that his machine
was going too fast to avoid the accident
and after he struck the man he claimed
he lost control of his car, resulting in
the victim being dragged along the
pavement for a distance Of two blocks.
The attorney for the driver pleaded
volubly and earnestly, insisting that
the circumstances relieved his client of
blame. But the jury brought in YER
dict Of guilty, and the driver was SEN
fenced to fourteen years in prison.
The unusual feature of this case was
the fact that four of the jurors were
themselves auto owners and drivers,
and the attorney for the defense
seemed to think this v a big point in
favor of his client.

At a recent meeting of the citizens
Of the town of Linden it was decided to
levy a tax of $1,000 for the purpose of
making a state road in the southern
part of the town, on the main road be-
tween Mifflin and Mineral Point. This
sum, together with the state and coun-
ty aid, which will make total of
3,0OO will be expended wholly on
what is known as Catfish hill. This
hill is one of the worst pieces of road
in southern Wisconsin and the past
spring it has been almost impossible
for automobiles and other vehicles to
pass over it. Travel from Rewey and
Miflin to Mineral Point has been going
around by Linden in order to avoid the
rough travelling. The Hill is about one
half mile in length and is just above
Harker station on the Mineral Point &
Northern railroad.

Playing the Game.

When you get up in the morning take
look in the glass. How do you look
to yourself?
If you can look yourself right in the
eye and not be ashamed of anything
you've done, you are far better off
than many a man with lots more money
than you.
Of course it is nice to be successful
to have money. No matter what the
game whether it's marbles or bust
ness it is nicer to win than to lose.
Success brings happiness, but it must
be real success. If you've cheated to
to win, you've destroyed the pleasure.
There is no satisfaction in being ahead
Of the other fellow if down in your
heart Of hearts you know he is right
fully entitled to be ahead of you.
Win if you can win fairly. The
knowledge that there isn't a page in
your past to which you dare not turn,
that there isn't a man in the world can
put his finger on any crooked thing
you've done, the feeling that whatever
happens you have played the game
straight, is worth more than all the
money and all the power and all the
positions in the world
If you are in business, no matter
what the other fellow does. be content
with smaller profits and square deal.
Clean money pays best Crooked div
idends bring wrinkles and worries with
them.
It is worth a lot to yourself to know
you're square. Maybe the man who
plays the game straight will 90 down
and out financially, but if he does he
will still be happy Yet men who play
fair don't often fall

was carried by vote of 10S to 60. 1t
was also voted to borrow Sl7, 900 from
the state school fund at a rate of 81
per cent. On the question of a site it
was decided by a substantial vote to
build on the old ground
The new building will be a modern
structure and will be one Of the best in
