HAPPINESS SOLD AT
 REASONABLE RATES

PARIS, May 10.-Four years ago a young Spanard called Catala came to Paris with the fixed determination to make everybody happy at a rate of B each. the total of which contributions would result in his own beatitude. He styled himself President of the Knights of Mystery
 He offered also to sell the secrets of success. infallble love philtres, and these. being wares difficult to buy in the ordinary market. found a rapid and enormous sale The "Caballstic Institute" existed only on paper. but the correspondence addressed to it's manager at various postes restantes was prodigious.
 One day the magician vanished, leav- ing his disciples lamenting. for the de- sired miracles were never produced and the gold pieces had been juggled out of their original pockets never to return
 Some fifty complaints are now lodged against Catala. but the majority of the dupes are too ashamed of their folly to publish it. The Spaniard has returned to Spain and all traces of him have been lost.

 There win be birds and animals for them to watch, wide places where they may romp and play. soft sandy spots under the shade trees where they may rest and be cool, and good band music to listen to and comfort station for their especial use
 It is the, wish of the management to make the grounds as attractive as pos sible to the children and their moth CTS. It will always be well policed and safe for them. There will always be a plentiful supply of the very best milk and dairy dishes suitable for children at the dining pavilion, and these will be sold at nominal prices for the con venience of mothers who do not wish to bother ab ut getting lunch at home. It is safe prediction that within two weeks after it's opening every mother with young children will look on Riv- erside Park as her own especial bloss- ing.
 It is not to the children alone that the park will appeal during the day, for the big swimming pool and the lcng pond will always be partially shaded and the hotter the day in town the more potent will the attraction of the cool running water be.
 The free moving pictures and the eX- cellent band concerts will be a great attraction to everybody and the splen- did dancing floor will appeal to all while the pretty trellised dining room within it's broad porches and private hooks. all screened in, but open to ev- cry breeze that blows will be another big attraction.

R. |, two weeks ago. while the Vanitie. which is being built at Boston for Alexander smith Cochran, is on her ways.
 The Defiance carries the aspira- tions of fifteen yachtmen. It is call ed the Tri-City yacht, the syndicate of owners being made up of eight men from Boston, six from New York and one from Philadelphia. George NJ. Pynchon of New York, E Walter Clark of Philadelphia and Henry Taggard of Boston were the prime movers. MT. Pynchon is the manager and MT. Clark the treasur- er of the syndicate
 The other members are George Lauder, George D. Barron, James B. Ford, E. Trowbridge Hall and Tho mas c. Durham of New York; Oli- yer Ames. J. C. Hobb, F. C. Fletcher, Charles Hayden, F. E. Peabody, FL tot WadWorth and E. s. Webster. of Boston.

 It was decided to make the boat of composite construction with steel frames and a double wooden skin. the inner of Douglas fir and the outer of gaboon mahogany. The lead keel was run on January g.
 The Defiance is a distinctly mo dern yacht, with a moderately long body and overhangs, slack bilges, full garboards and a keel which re- sembles the old fin type, but is considerably thicker, with some sixty tons of lead in the bottom. She is longer and wider than the Resolute but her draught is practically the same
 The feature of the Defiance is her rig. The mast is well forward of the center, in fact about half way between the center and the lead and the bow. She will, therefore. set 3 single lower jib, while her mainsail will be the largest of the three boats. Her rig is also very lofty. The exact

Summons Help With Rifle When Ice
Floe Starts to Drift Out
into Lake.

Superior Drawing the
icy waters of Lake Superior, famed
by a stiff breeze which made it prac-
tically impossible for a rowboat to
last, three men rescued Roger Camp
bell, keeper of the lighthouse at Su-
perior entry, from an immense ice foe
upon which he was being carried
away. When he was pulled into the
boat the ice was beginning to break
up and Campbell was exhausted from
exposure. He had started down the
shore to hunt rabbits, going along the
ice near the shore. About seven miles
from the entry he discovered that the
ice was moving out from shore.
With gap of more than 100 feet
between him and the shore, he started
back on the run. He attracted his
rescuers on the shore by repeatedly
discharging his rifle.

word did he speak as the big iron
gates closed behind him, and with
three others he was placed in the care
of DIR. George Sleyster, head Of the
new institution. Arrived in the great
structure, close to the one which has
been his home since he was found

tempted the life of Theodore Roose-
Welt on Nov. IA, 1912, he wasa regis
tered in the new set of books, assigned
