and few would in the least mind marrying the
newest American girl because of her great
wealth. Still, without her wealth she would
deserve all the praise that has been heaped upon
her
The new American girl of the Latin states is
strangely composite of the old and the new order
of things which her land has known. In the
modern worlds capitals and fashionable centers
she is indeed woman of the present. but in
LatinAmerica she is woman of the past. In her
native home still persists order of things which
in many respects is almost medieval. The stamp
of SPAIN so strongly seen on her is also seen on
the religion, the language, and the social creed
of this girl. The laws and the landscape of her
people alike are still dominated by this ancient
influence. Indeed, Spain itself has infinitely more
variety in speech and custom than is seen in the
vast territory it has peopled and the people of
Valparaiso, Bogota, and Caracas speak better
Castilian than usually is heard In Madrid and
Cadz.
Hence 1t is that the Latin-American woman has
but little of the freedom enjoyed by the Ameri-
can girl she now would rival There still exists
between the sexes that armed neutrality which is

and then out of the hole popped a
brand new fly, just born.
My gracious, but he was a whopper.
| and he almost frightened Jessie SO
that she cried, for you must remem-
Der that she was not very big when
| she had the Sandman's cap on, and
she kept forgetting that the fly could
not see her or hurt her when she was
with the Sandman.
This fly was lots bigger than the
Ants | told you about in the first
story. He had a great long tongue,
almost as long as a piece Of garden
hose, and he kept it rolled up in his
mouth just like your Daddy rolls up,
his hose. He had two great big eyes.
that stuck out on the sides Of his head
as big as rubber balls, and each eye
had hundreds and hundreds of little
eyes all over it, so that he could see
better. That is why it is so hard for
you to catch fly with your hands. He
can see behind him as well as he
can see In front, and he can jump and
fly away quicker than a wink.
Besides the funny tongue and the
funny eyes, this fly had two of the low
lest wings, that you could see right
through, and they were colored just
like the rainbow. When he folded
them up they were right on top of his
back, and that was where he had
them when he crawled out of the pile
of straw and sat still in the sun to
dry his wings, for they were very new
and wet.
AS soon as they were dry he spread
them out and flew away. Like all
other flies he was very naughty, and
probably you would like to know just
what he was going to do. First he flew
over and lighted on the old hGrse'S
back and bit him real hard, and then
he went over and bit the poor COW.
Wasn't that too bad! They chased
him away by switching their tails at
him, so he hurried over to the
screen door that led into the kitchen
and the very minute the door was
opened. In he slipped, as sly as you
please.
There on the table was some nice
cake for supper, so he went over and
| lighted on that and ate some of it
without asking permission of any
body.
After this he crept into the garbage
pail where he got his feet very dirty
| and then he flew right over to little
baby brother in the high chair and
wiped them on baby's face.
The Sandman was angry when he
saw the fly do all these naughty tricks
and he made up his mind that this fly
would have to go to Jail. He slipped
up beside the fly and whispered in his
ear that there was some sugar out IN
| the barn and he had better hurry up
and get it. The fly jumped up into the
| air as soon as he heard about the
sugar and flew out to the barn and
| the Twins and the Sandman went right
after him to see the fun. AS soon as
the spider heard the fly coming he
poked his shining gold head out of his
| tunnel and the fly saw it and thought
| it was sugar so he flew right over AID
| lighted on the spiders net.
There he stuck fast because when
he tried to get away the hooks on the
net held him tight, and the great big
red and gold and black spider skipped
across the web and tied the naughty
| fl up with whole lot of his silver
rope. And that served him just right.

Hay Fever Season
Officially Opened

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Through-
out the length and breadth Of the
land, the official hay fever season will
open tomorrow to the accompaniment
OF approximately 635,427 sneezes
that's the number of hay fever VIC
tins who are said to suffer annual
ly in the United States).
There may have been numerous
hay fever sneezes heard previous to
today, but these were merely desul-
tory cachoos. They were, so to speak,
the advance guard Of the forces which
will oper with the heavy artillery of
sneezes tomorrow.
By some strange fate or law of ma
ture which as yet is not explained,
the victims of this obnoxious malady
sometimes after the date, according
to many victims, they are attacked.
1t is about that time that the pollen
from dandelione and other growths
begin to float through the air, and
it is the presence of these all but in
visible tiny particles in the atmo.
sphere that causes the hay fever.
Only after the first frost do the ma
jority Of sufferers get relief from
constant sneezing and other uncom-

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 29.-With
approximately $4,000 as the prize,

classic Futurity race. J. N. Camden's
Luke, one of the best 2-year-olds in

were thought to have good chances.
The owners who have been racing
here for the month past will have .

which will be held there as a part Of
the New York state fair. The Syra-
cuse races are set for September 8,

SENSIBLE ITALY.

Boston Post.
At the outbreak of hostilities be-
tween Germany and her enemies on
the north and south, Italy, with great
good sense, declared that she would
not join the kaiser in battle array
against Russia and France. Up to
the present moment she has not al
tered that decision, though hard pres
sure must have been put upon her
by Germany, and she shows no signs
of doing so.
Wise Italy. She skillfully showed
that under the terms of the triple al
lance agreement she was not COM
PEELED to join Germany, because the
latter had not been the attacked but
the attacking party. The world has
no doubt on that score. Furthermore,
she points out that she was not con-
suited as to Austria's move against
Servia, which violated the terms of
the deribund and made her break
from it excusable If not thoroughly
justified.
There have been rumors that Ger
many has given an ultimatum to Italy
to the effect that she must be her
ally or her enemy. This is denied in
Berlin. Certainly 1t would seem that
Germany had foes enough already
without deliberately adding another.
Still, nothing can be surprising in this
mad outburst Of martial fury.

Big Year is Expected
in Western Football

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-This looks
like another great year for western
football. With one or two exceptions,
the powerful elevens that attracted
national attention last year will be
almost Intact. Any vacant spots will
be plugged with some of the most
promising material western gridirons
have seen in years
Outside the western conference,
Notre Dame, on paper, appears to
top any eleven in the west this year
and the west expects to see the Cath
olics score decisive victory over
Yale. The material at Michigan this
fall looks woefully weak when com
pared with the squad Yost had last
year and victory over Harvard in
the other great intersectional clash
of the year is scarcely to be expected.
Notre Dame has lost but two men
from the great eleven of last year
Rockne and Dorais Dorais' place will
be filled from trio of good reserve
men but the problem of finding an
end to replace Rockne will be a scri-
Gus one.
OF the western conference elevens,
Chicago, Wisconsin and Illinois look
best at this stage of the game. The
Maroon eleven, conference champions
last year and undoubtedly one Of the
greatest machines the went has pro-
duccd, will be trifle weaker at the
opening of the season. Capt. Norgren,
an all-American selection in 1913, and
Fullback Pierce, are lost to Coach
Stagg. There is no dearth of ma
terial at Chicago university, however.
and the Maroon eleven should be in
the running for another championship
from the start.
Wisconsin counts upon some of the
best material in the west from the
1913-14 freshman class to replace
veterans graduated last June. Illi-
nois' lineup from 1913 is practically
intact. Coach Zupke made a brilliant
showing at the downstate school in
his first try last year and is expected
to produce a contender for the cham
pionship.
Bear stories are emanating from
Minnesota, where it is said that sew
eral of the stars of the 1913 eleven
will not return to school. Purdue losi
most of her best men last June and
Northwestern's material is not believ-
ed to be of chamionship timber. OF
the other conference schools, Ohio
state is said to look better than last
year; Indiana's prospects are some
what improved, but Iowa is not count
ed upon to be the factor she was in
1918.

ERRIBLE MASSACRES ARE
REPORTED IN CHINA INTERIOR
nited Press

SHANGHAI, Aug. 29.-Conditions
I disorder in interior China such as
ID not characterize even in the revo-
ltionary period preceding the Man
lu overthrow two and half years
go were reported today by foreign
rs who arrived here from Hanko W
nd other up-country points.
Throughout Honan, Hupeh, Shansi,
izechuan mad Anhwel provinces, they
aid brigandage is rampant on such
a scale that cities even of 100000
and 100000 population are unsafe
from attack. Scores of smaller towns
nave been sacked. Frightful mas
sacres have been perpetrated and loot
worth millions have been carried off.
Bodies of troops aggregating 10000
or $4,000 in number are in the field
against the outlaws and there have
been dozens of skirmishes and few
tolerably respectable battles, in which
the bandits have held their own as
often as they have been beaten. No
quarter is shown on either side, the
victors invariably beheading their
prisoners and in some cases torturing
before killing them.
Opponents of President Yuan Shi
Kais government are said unques-
tionably to be encouraging the ban
dts activity, to be supplying quanti-
ties of arms and ammunition and to
be doing their utmost to weld the
numerous bands into a single force
for another revolution.
In southern China revolutionary
agents are busy in the vicinity Of
Canton and Piracy on the West River
has reached such proportions that
even foreign shipping is endangered.

A strike of the janitors at the court

N the basement. When Bradley broke
the gentle news to E. H. Williams,
six-foot janitor, he knew the attach
nent case had been withdrawn, but
he seized the opportunity to "start
,omething" with Williams.
Possibly we will have to leave the
iorpse in the janitor's room for sew

would consider it favor if you would
'ort of keep your eye on the coffin to

Williams could scarcely wait long
nough to get his hat. He informed
Ohm Keuhn of the direful plans of

perspiration from his brow and re-
iarked: Watch a corpse for that

Later when the joke was explained
