ANGELO VEL|SAL|S SUCCUMBS n
 WOUNDS

Angelo Vellsalis, who was shot and robber last summer a short distance January 15, as a result of his wounds.
 Velisalis was shot twice, once through the hand and the other bull let penetrated the left side, lodging in the spinal column, rendering him helpless. He laid where he fell from early early on Saturday afternoon un- til about 4 o'clock the following day, when he managed to attract the atten- toion of a passer by on the railroad, who gave an alarm and the victim was taken to the hospital. Papas fled from the scene of his crime, and was seen in the vicinity of the wireless station, and later out the line, where he was ventually captured by Tom Teets. He was taken to Valdez for trial and sen fenced to a term of fifteen years at McNeil Island.
 Velisalis was taken to Valdez as a witness and after the trial remained for time in the hospital there. Later his brother came up from Douglas and took him to that place, where he went to the hospital for treatment. But lit tie hope has been held out for his recovery from the first, and he gra- dually failed until death claimed him last Friday.

PARIS, Jan. S2-According to a prominent manufacturer at Maubeuge who escaped before the Germans occu- pied the town but who says he has re- ceived news through underground channels, the population is in sore straits, those of limited means being unable to pay the prices the Germans demand for provisions; some even be- ing reduced to taking remains fo the soldiers repasts.

DARING WORKMEN.
Awning Removers Take Greater Risks
Than Do Steeplejacks

Awning Removers Take Greater Risks
Than Do Steeplejaeks.
SteepleJacks have long enjoyed rep
utation for daring, but 1t is question
whether they come In the same class
Of riskers as the awning removers,
who take down the "sunshades" from
the fronts Of houses all over the city.
These removers do not need or use the
rope and block and fall accessories of
the steeple men. Yet they climb to
places and do their work in what
seems to be an impossible manner.
Starting at the street level two or
three awning removers will strip the
entire front of fat house and never
go indoors. They are as agile as aero
bats. They reach up to a window sill
and then raise themselves to the win
dow ledge. Finishing the window
while standing on this ledge, they seize
the top stone of the window, pull them
selves up to 1t and from there reach
again to the window ledge above SO as
to strip another window. Through the
belt they wear runs line, and with
this they lower the awnings as they
take them down.
How they can do their work with 80
little to hang on to is more remarkable
than the tasks performed by the struc-
tural ironworkers. The ironworker, II
he slips, has something at hand in the
way Of beam around which he has a
chance to lock his arms. The awning
remover, when he slips, falls outward
from the ledge and has nothing to
clutch. Three awning removers on on,
occasion stripped seven story fiat Of
seventy-fve windows in the Bronx In
the remarkable time Of three hours, all

GETTING AN EDUCATION.
After the Age Of Thirty Is the Time to
Start In Earnest.

After the Age Of Thirty Is the Time to
Start In Earnest.
According to the Saturday Evening
Post, the best time to get an education
perhaps the only time-is any time
after one has passed thirty. The stuff
that one learns before twenty is not
meant to be remembered. 1t is only
placing of the chutes and an arrange
ment of the bins for the permanent
contents. From twenty to thirty one
is all torn up with counting, marrying
and getting a foothold In life. After
that is the time for education-from
then on until death or senile debility.
A man or woman past thirty Is ex-
actly at the most favorable period for
mastering knowledge, training the
mind. forming the taste. Some syste-
matte effort is all that is necessary.
Notice the silly and tiresome ways in
which enormous numbers of people
spend some Of their holidays. They
know what to do with their working
hours. but not with their leisure.
Most of them by a little direction
and little systematic effort might
develop some special interest. Boys
quickly tire Of mere aimless and pain
less play Naturally they want a
method and goal in 1t. Having a
goal Is exactly what gives zest to the
game
And having a goal Is both easy and
delightful. To study anything with
interest. from Iogarithms to caterpil-
lars, gives one fun and profit at the
same time. Try It.

NATURE IN A BLAZE.

Gorgeous Spectacle of the Midnight Sun
at karungi.
/ was glad ! stopped at Karungi,
Sweden, for | saw the midnight sun
the almost midnight sun, to be exact,
for although it was MONDAY bright all
night the sun did make a bluff at set
ting. 1t went down at twenty minutes
to IL and rose twenty minutes after II.
The sun went down blood red, and
the sky was crimsOned almost to the
zenith. 1t seemed as II all the north
were on fire. The river burned in the
glow, and the sky took on tints that
ranged from cardinal to pink. Just as
the whole place seemed about to burst
into flame, the sun dropped out Of
sight, and the glazing reds began to
mellow Into softer shades, the river
and dimmed until 1t looked like great
inverted dome that had been white
hot and was cooling slowly.
There were no other shades than the
shades Of flre-none of the usual ma
rooms and cerises and garnets that
come as the aftermath of mountain
sunsets. Everything was carmine.
The air quivered redly, and the trees
and the grass were rubescent. All
this softened gradually into a glowing
one toned mass of color. Then, at
twenty minutes past IL, at a point
that seemed not more than half mile
along the horizon from the place where
the sun disappeared, there came
golden glory that spread evenly over
the Redeemed sky. The sun was rising
and soon was above the horizon. 1t
went down as red as fire. 1t came up
bright, gllttering, cleaning, as If dur
ing the forty minutes 1t had been be-
low the horizon some titanic hand had
polished It for another days use.
