HOW THE GEESE SAVED ROME

The Capitol in the city of Romei was built on a steep hill called the Tarpeian Rock. When in 39O B. C., the GaGIs entered Rome, after having defeated the Roman army, most of the citizens fled to the country, except 2 few who had taken refuge on this steep hill, and the Roman Senators. These Senators, who were very. brave, put on their long robes and sat before .helr houses and quietly awaited the coming of the enemy. It must have been a very wonderful sight to see these old men calmly staying in their beloved city awaiting, the coming of the barbarians, who killed them all without mercy.
 One very dark night the Gau1s at tempted to climb the steepest part of the Tarpeian Rock and capture the

THE DANBURY FAIR.
It Will surpass All Previous Efforts.
 Programs Filled to Overlowing.

There are number of very definitet reasons why the 1914 DanDury Fair will surpass all it's previous exposi- tions The first of these reasons is the fact that the board of directors attempt each year to make the Fair outcIass all previous efforts in fur nishing+ instructions and entertain ment for visitors. The people have such confidence in the Fair board that they just naturally. expect each Dam bury Fair to be better than the pre- ceding one-and they are never dis appointed. The prospectus of the 1914 Danbury Fair is far more com pIete and elaborate than anything ever before attempted by the man. agennent,
 A second reason for the growth of the Fair is the fact that Farmers and other business men are more and more looking on the Danbury Fair as an educational institution. The educational features of the 1914 Fair will be brought forward more prom inent1y than ever before-in fact, the educational value of the Fair is it's chief cause for being. Every far ner will learn something from every other farmer who exhibits. while the competition itself is stimulating to better efforts One farmer looks over the stock display of another, and observes how the latter has improved his animals by careful breeding. He gets a line on all the better breeders of the state and learns where he may purchase to best advantage. No doubt others also get valuable point CTS from his exhibit. Certain it that men are made inmeasurably bet ter farmers by careful observation and comparison of the choicest pro- ducts of the state, and by noticing the marvels accomplished by new ma chinery, and all farmers learn to e1im- mate much of the drudgery of the homestead, be 1t real or imaginary.
 In~ laying especial emphasis on the educational features of the Fair, the management has not lost sight of the fact that people are still human and want to be thrilled with Sensational amusements. Amusements galore will be provided this year-instructive, en- tertaning and thrilling. The old time ensemble on the Midway will be supplemented to- by many remarkable amusement features, and the carni- val spirit of Coney Island will be brought to the Fair by some of the leading shows from the country's s foremost amusement resort.
 e To see the Danbury Fair as it should be seen one should go early and stay late. There will be ample to take ones attention for the while to the Fair in much less time.
 One whole day. should be spent in the live stock section:. it will take a day at least to properly cover the machinery section; it will be fmpos- sible to satisfactorily inspect the ex- hibits in the agricultural, horticultu- ral, -women's and other buildings in less than a day. And then there are hundreds of miscellaneous exhibits. The best way to see the Danbury Fair is to take the week to 1t. The dates are October to 10.

 And don't like the idea of dis tressing you. I'm not going to distress you any more than can help. If you think my being about here will have that effect on you I'll so elsewhere"
 "oh, wouldn't drive you away from here. That would be selishness. l can't love you, but can sympathize with you"
 After few more words they both rode on. When Rosa had gone some distance she drew rein, turned her horses head and looked back. Stubbs was sitting on his horse, facing her, not far from where she had met him. She waved hand to him, then turn ed again and rode on.
 One day Marlborough went home aft CT being out all day to find his daugh- ter gone. She had left note for him, bedewed with tears, saying that she had gone off to be married. She knew her father would not consent to the match, so she was obliged to go away and he married somewhere else. She did not give her lovers name.
 Muldrough stOrmed until he learned that the man his daughter had married was the one he had laughed at when he had made an application for her hand. Then he was crushed.
 Jabez Stubbs If he had been permit ted to finish the list Cf his bank ac- counts might possibl. have been ac- cepted, for he could h:lve bought out Muldrough two or three times over. He is now the richest man in his state.
 But Rosa knew nothing of this when she married him. She certainly did not marry him for money or for looks. What she did marry him for has been a question among her friends ever since.

MIGRATING BIRDS.
Shore Lines and River Valleys Help
 Them In Their Flight.

Shore Lines and River Valleys Help
 Them tn Their Flight.
 Experiences of aeroplane pilots with air currents have given to noted English naturalist an explanation for the fact that some birds in making their annual migrations fly along coast lines and along river valleys, Judging from aeroplaue experience birds would find it required less effort to fly along such routes. In the daytime water cools the air on most days. and over the water there Is a downward current of air, as indicated by the noticeable sinking of aeroplanes and balloons crossing over a pond. At the same time there is more or less of an up- ward current of air along the shore line.
 Upward currents of air greatly help flight, and many kinds of birds are known to take full advantage of them. So the naturalist sees an opportunity for birds to take advantage of upward currents of air in migrating by day if they follow the coast of a sea or the bank of a river. The effect would be most marked on the windward side of the water, so that if the birds do not fly along that side near the water they ought to. Whether at night there is an appreciable upward current of air over water is not so clearly established, but he believes it is likely and so would be of advantage to birds if they wished to use it
 A further explanation of such routes is that the birds might learn them in their migrations, for shore lines are the easiest of all markings on the earth for an aviator to see and follow, while on a still night the waves on the shore can be heard high in the air, marking the shore line.-Saturday Evening Post

DIVORCEES
 ARE BARRED

Rome. March 17--Ameriean wo- men coming to Rome will hereafter please bring their husbands, that is, if 'they want to be presented at court. This is the warning which Ambassador Thomas Nelson Page is sending to the United States. He has just dug up in the archives or the American embassy an ancient regulation to this effect and it s-to be rejuvenated and put in- to force once more.
 The rule was originally intended to prevent the presentation at court of divorcees, not only King victor and Queen Elena but also Queen Mother Margerita being greatly op- posed to divorce. While the Amer ican divorce colong at Rome admits that it is right dowr peeVed at the new regulation, the fair diyorcecs declare they are at least finding some consolation in the fact that' if being without husbands they cannot be presented to the court, they a least consider themselves a little bit better than those divorc- ees who have acquired second husband and thus cannot be eX- cluded ov Ambassador Pages reg ulation.

Of these the longest is the Simplon, twelve and a quarter miles through the Alps. Two others, the St. Gothard and the Lotschberg, are over nine and one-third miles long, and the Mont Cenis is over seven miles long. In all there are fourteen tunnels over four miles long.
