A Social Pauper.

A man 30 years of age filed a
bill in the court in New York for
an allowance of $4,000 annually
from the estate of an insane
aunt. His mother enjoys an in
come of 500, 600. The son is sup
ported by her. but the sum he
received at her hands is not suf-
ficient for him to maintain him.
self in the way he desires, for he
pleaded that if not given the
additional allowance he would
have to give up his membership
in 10 or II clubs to which he be-
longs. cut down the standard of
his entertainments, give up his
automobile. and last but not
least, forego the chance of mar
rying.
This idler and social pauper,
who contributes nothing of good
or usefulness to the world. has
been denied his application by
the court.
Here is young man who has
youth and opportunity and suf-
ficlent means to give him 4 good
start IN life, yet he is Il miserable
pauper to society. He is worth
less and shiftless and it would
be Il crime for him to marry any
woman. He probably is depend
ent because he has been taught
to be that way. He not only in
vltes but deserves the contempt
OF every self-respecting man and
woman. 1t is fortunate for the
world that there is but a small
number of his kind.

HAS THE DOCTORS GUESSING
Regiment Of italian Army AFFLICTED
With a MaIady That 10 Hard
to Diagnose.

There is a strange epidemic of
what may be called contagious SOM
nambulism" at Piacenza. This epi-
demic is limited to the barracks of
an infantry regiment stationed in
the town. So far it has not spread
among the citizens.
A week ago the police found SOL
dier clad in his underclothes soundly
asleep in the street at midnight. The
man was nearly frozen to death. He
was taken to the barracks and placed
under arrest. The doctor who at
tended him certified that he was a
sleep walker. On the following day
three soldiers were found asleep in
the street at night, and the colonel of
the regiment reprimanded the doc
tor and had the men sent to prison.
Despite the fact that double sem
tries were posted in all the sleeping
rooms of the barracks, more soldiers
were found asleep in the street every
night, often as many as twenty at
a time. An officers guard was kept
awake all night in barracks, but men
got out of their rooms through the
roof. All the doctors agree that
these men are sleep walkers, but they
cannot explain why pretty nearly all
the sleep walkers in Italy seem to be-
long to the infantry regiment now
at Piacenza.
The war office appointed COM
mission of army doctors to examine
this strange epidemic. The Piacenza
regiment is now known as the "som-
nambulists' corps Rome Core
spondence of the New York Sun.

Although six States in the
uion are without compulsory
school attendance laws, and four
others have laws that apply only
partially, definite progress during
the past decade is reported in a
bulletin just issued by the
United States Bureau of Educa-
ton. Since 1905 eight States
previously without compulsory
laws have adopted them, and it
is thought to be matter of
only a few years when compul-
sorry school attendance will be in
effect in every State and terri
tory of the United States.

Small Stores Not Hurt.

While the long fight for the
parcel post was waging there
was always one stock argument
in opposition. That was the
damage that would be done to
the country stores. 1t was also
felt by many merchants that it
would drain the life blood out of
retail trade in towns of some
size.
The last bulletin of the
National Association of Credit
Men contains the result of IN
investigation into this question.
One of the questions asked was:
Are country stores suffering
from the aggressiveness of the
mail order houses?" This and
other questions were sent to
wholesale dealers. If the cross
roads and small city man is
growing, the sales manager for
the jobbers hears it quickly
enough.
The questions brought out no
sentiment among the retailers
that the parcel post was hurting
them. But there was Il general
feeling that the new system re-
moves a burdensome expense.
The extent of the tax imposed
by. the former heavy express
charges was not realized. 1t
came in driblets. 1t was a
quarter here, half a dollar there,
a dollar somewhere else. A good
deal of the time it was charged
up to the customer. No doubt
there were many circumstances
under which the retailer felt he
had to pay it to satisfy his Gus
toner.
In the long run the change
may prove a good thing for the
express companies. Under the
old regime, they could not have
possibly considered themselves
popular. Now they are adver-
tising their claims and rates.
The moment corporation shows
itself anxious to please and get
business. that moment it has laid
the foundation for popular favor.
Retail merchants. of course.
must realize more work is going
to be done by mail orders sent TO
stores near home. They must
by advertising keep their goods
before the outlying farmers of
their territory, or their rival
around the corner will get it.

Considerable interest and not a
little satisfaction has been felt
Throughout the country over the
report that n millionaire who ran
his automobile through the street
of n Western city at the rate of
fifty miles per hour. had been
sentenced to the rock pile
A lot OF people would be glad to
hear of other such cases. Not
that they have any particular
aversion to millionaires or auto
mobiles, but that the matter of
reckless driving is frequently
considered all too lightly. Whole
sale murder by automobiles is
really serious business and the
more responsibility of thus en-
dangering life should be as great
as when man uses firearms
recklessly. But the latter has
invariably received the severer
punishment.
