ROME LOOKED GOOD TO HIM
Boston Man Returns From Tunis After

There eve Was a MAI who showed
more happiness to touch foot on native
soil than Percival Roberts of Boston.

and an alumnus of the Harvard law
school, who arrived at Boston from
Naples Mr.. Roberts had hurried to
Italy after having been chased on

who swooped down on him and his
party's pack camels and household
goods when they were camping on the
border of the desert south of Sfax, in
the interior of Tunis.
Italian soldiers had driven a flying
squadron of untamed Arab horsemen
and cut-throats across the Tunis bord-
er, and when the pack of Infatuated
savages caught sight of the Roberts
party it charged the camp with wild
yells and blazing rifles.
Roberts embarked on the first ship
of the desert he could locate in his
frantic rush for a conveyance and
swayed and rolled on camel back over
the dry sands of the desert for ten
miles before be could make his geta-
way. His three friends, two French
men and an Englishman, got off in diff
ferent directions, all aboard the swift
racing camels which had carried them
into camp.

SCALP ITCHED AND BURNED

1893 South Scioto St, Circleville,
Ohio.-"My little girls trouble first
started on her head in a bunch of lit
tie pimples full of yellow-looking mat
ter and they would spread in large
places. In a short time they would
open. Her scalp was awfully red and
inflamed and the burning and itching
were SO intense that she would scratch
and rub till it would leave ugly sores.
The sores also appeared on her body,
and her clothing irritated them SO
that | had to put real soft cloth next
to her body. She would lie awake of
nights and vas very worrisome. At
times she was tortured with itching
and burning.

SHOULD GET LARGER CROPS
American Farmers Might Largely In
crease Their Production Through
Scientific Methods.

Our Pennsylvania Dutch are good
farmers, but not SO good as their rela-
tives in Germany. For every bushel of
wheat a Pennsylvania farmer produces
from one acre the German grows two
and a tenth bushels.
His farm is small, but the man who
delves beyond the Rhine makes each
acre produce exactly twice as many
potatoes as do our farmers.
The man who bows to a kaiser in
stead of a president extracts just a
half mor oats and oyer a third more
barley and about 60 per CEN more rye
from each acre than does the improvi-
dent American. /.
The a who has but a dollar can
live for a long time on it, whereas the
prodigal a waste a $40 bill on one
dinner. The German has so little
ground that he makes it work doubly
hard.
When the United States has 200,-
100000 population our farm production
an acre will likely have doubled from
sheer necessity.-Public Ledger.

The New Dances.

Billy Sunday, the remarkable evan
gelist, was asked after his successful
Philadelphia season what he thought
of the new dances.
What do l think of the new
dances?" said Mr.. Sunday, with a
laugh. We'll, let me tell you a story.
"a young nan and a girl in evening
dress sat in a conservatory. A foun-
tain trickled and gurgled in a marble
basin before them. Palms dropped
their long leaves over them.
THE light was dim. Distant music
sounded softly.
Suddenly the young man, overcome
by the girls beauty, seized her in his
arms and crushed her madly to his
breast.
Why, Mr.. T~revanion,' she said,
putting her white hand on his shirt
bosom and pushing him coldly away,
you forget yourself. This sort Of
thing isn't proper-here.'
so saying, she took his arm and
they went out on the bollroom floor
and INDUCED in a .naxixe."

LANGUAGE Not Likely to Last.

Mistral, the great Provencal poet,
whose death was announced lately,
has been likened to Robert Burns for
the work he did. But Burns task
was child's play compared with Mis-
trails. The Scottish poet found his
language fully grown and completely
alive; Mistral had to create his means
Of expression. P%rovencal had lost ev-
cry resemblance to a literary tongue,
and the new p~oet-patriot had to mold
it afresh, to recreate and to build up
on the ruins left by the vineyard and
the farm. Our Provencal," said Mis-
trail, was a country lass, ragged and
wild" She is now a wonderfully beau
tiful creature; but 1t is doubtful
whether all the genius of Mistral can
keep her alive. The educational re-
former in France does not like such
irregular beauty.
