Curious Legends That Are Told In
49, Different Countries.
We have all of us heard stories of
the treasure at the end Of the rain
bow. There is pot of gold there, you
know. And if we could only walk far
enough. run fast enough, we might
find it and be ever thereafter happy.
That is what Cur nurses tell us when
we are children, isn't it?
And sometimes we learn that the
rainbow is bridge, and the thunder
is the roar Of the heavy wheels going
over it. ---~
These are the stories that we hear
in childhood about the rainbow. Chill
dren of other lands hear many, other
stories
In Greece nurses tell the children
that if any one by chance stumbles
over the end Of the rainbow his or her
sex is changed. A fine story that to
tell a child. The little Greeks must
run away from the ends of the rain
bow instead of seeking them to find
our pot of gold.
Ile little Iufk nearS from his nurse
that if he can but touch the band of
orange that spans the heavens in the
rainbow his head will turn to silver,
with rubies for eyes and teeth of gold.
In many parts of Russia the rain
bow is called a pump, and in Hungary
it is called Gods pump and ''Noah's
pump
In Russia. in some provinces, the
wells are covered with strong plat
forms, so that the water cannot be
drawn from them by the rainbow, and
in other provinces it is said that three
angels have charge Of the rainbow
one to draw water through it from the
earth, another to give water from it to
the clouds and another to return the
water to the earth in the form Of rain.

Numerous members of the legisla-
ture, and some of the state officers
left yesterday for trip through the
northern part of the state, and it is
safe to predict that they will be
royalty entertained by the hospitable
people of that region. To those who
have never visited northern Mime
sofa the trip will undoubtedly be a
revelation. and they will return duly
impressed with the greatness and
wealth of the North Star State.

The thinkers of the world might
devote some time to an endeavor to
solve the problem of unemployed
men. There appears to be no reason
why a man able and willing to work
should be forced to beg, steal or
starve. In Canada at the present
time there are thousands of able
bodied men seeking work, and if a
plan is devised to remedy conditions
the world will have taken an i'm
portant step forward.

YES, SHE DID KNOW.
And Proved It to Her. Critical Old
d." Sinqinq Master.

Many years ago, in an old French
church in Berne, a great choir under
the famous old leader, Father Reichel,
was having it's final rehearsal for the
production Of the messiah" The
chorus had triumphantly sung through
to the place where the soprano solo
takes up the refrain, II Know That
My Redeemer Liveth." The singer was
a beautiful woman, whose voice had
been faultlessly trained. AS the tones
came out high and clear the listeners
were filed with wonder at her per-
feet technique. Her breathing was
faultless, her note placing perfect, her
enunciation beyond criticism.
After the final note there was
pause, and all eyes were turned toward
the old conductor to catch his look Of
approval. Great was the surprise,
however, when a sharp rap of the
baton was heard, as a command for
the orchestra to pause, and with look
Of sorrow Father Reichel said to the
singer, my daughter, you do not real
~ know that your Redeemer liveth,
do your"
With a flushed face she replied,
why, yes, think I do.''
'"Then sing it," he cried. "Sing it
from your heart. Tell it to me so I
and all who hear you will know and
know that you know the joy and pow
er Of it." Then with an imperious
gesture he motioned for the orchestra
to go over it again.
This time the young woman sang
with no thought Of herself or of tech
nique and applause from her hearers.
She sang the truth that she knew in
her heart and experienced in her
life and that she wished to send
home to the hearts Of the listeners. AS
the last notes died away there was no
wonder at the craftsman's work. but
there were quickened hearts that had
been moved by the glorious message
they had received. As the singer stood
forgetful Of applause, the old master
stepped up and with tears in his eyes
kissed her On the forehead and said,
"You do know, for you have told me-

Chicago Woman Arrested at Milan,
is Said to be i'm LeaIgue With Ba-
ynrian Officer Accused of Espionage

Milan, Italy, June 3.-Isabelle
Wade, aged 81. of Chicago, was ar
rested here yesterday on the charge
of being an accomplice of a Bavarian
officer who is accused of espionage.
few days ago the police arrested
a Bavarian officers named Martin
Schehammer on suspicion of espion-
age. He had made several visits to
the provinces of Brescia and Ver-
ona, in the war zone.
1t was learned that Schehammer
had lived in several Italian towns,
Milan and Rome included, and had
many addresses. His close acquaint-
ance with Isabelle Wade of Chicago,
a singer, was discovered and the po-
lice found the woman living in an
apartment here under the name of
Margherita Martello. Seach of her
apartment revealed a large package
of correspondence in cipher, military
maps of important strategic value in
the provinces of Alessandria, Udine,
Verona and Bassano. These were con-
tanned in a large valise, in which also
were field glasses and a revolver
From another package of German
correspondence it would appear that
Isabelle Wade had had dealings with
the police of Berlin.
The woman at first maintained that
she was Margherita Martello and had
found the valise in the street, but
after spending short time in prison.
she admitted her real identity and
declared that Schehammer had placed
the valise in her hands, saying that
he was Swallowed by the police and
feared he would be arrested at any
moment, and that it was necessary to
hide the documents

DELAYS FISHING EXPEDITION
Persistence of Ice Blockade on the
Newfoundland Coast.

ST. Johns, N. F., June 3.-The UNI
usual persistence OF the ice blockade
of the Newfoundland coast is delay
ing the annual migrG.iG1 of fisher
men and their families TO Labrador
and is endangering those vessels
which have ventured out. The mail
steamers have not yet been able to
make a trip up the northeast coast.
Three vessels have suffered from col
lision with icebergs during the past
week, the fishing schooner Flower of
Home, having sunk when almost at
her destination and the steamers Man
cunia and Beothic having been badly
damaged.
In spite of the threatening condi-
tons the usual number of fishermen
are preparing for the trip to the fish
ing grounds where each year several
men, with their families, spend the
summer months. About 1900
schooners, mostly little FISHING
smacks, ordinarily participate in the
expedition.

raid claims amounting to 100000 in
connection with the loss of life by the
sinking of the Lusitania. This rep
resents the sum payable on about $50
lives, and many more claims are ex-
pected to be filed.
The American claims will probably
reach thrice this amount, according to
the estimates here, as some of the
American passengers were heavily in
sured. No English company has so
far confirmd the report that Alfred
Gwynn Vanderbilt carried heavy in
surance on his life.
