ROBBED BY BANDITS,
BUT HE WINS BRIDE
And Then Couple Adopt Child Who
Was About to Become
an Orphan.

Live Oak, CaL-Starting out from Sc
attic, bent on an auto trip that would
include Yosemite valley, Harold Fitz-
gerald, a lumber dealer, met in four
weeks travel some thrilling adven-
lures.
Fitzgerald began his trip alone, but
he is taking on passengers and may be
overcrowded before he is ready for the
homebound journey.
Here are a few episodes in Fitzger-
AIDS search for thrills as related when
he stopped at Live Oak to take on gas
oline.
When near Kalama, Wash, he was
held up by two highwaymen and re-
heved of a rifle and $40. The road
agents got into the car and rode sixty
miles, thanking him for his courtesy
and sportsmanlike spirit, as they left
to strike off into the hills.
A few miles out from Salem, Fitzger-
aid came upon an auto going north. In
the party was Miss Jeanette Draper,
daughter of John Draper, driver of the
car. 1t was love at first sight. Fitz-
gerald discovered that it was neces-
sary for him to return as far as Salem.
1t was a whirlwind courtship that in
four days ended in Miss Draper be-
coming Mrs. Fitzgerald. Father and
mother continued north. bride and
bridegroom coming south.
While crossing the Siskiyou range
the Fitzgeralds came upon an old
mountaineer and his four-year-old
granddaughter. The man told a story
of how the child's mother had died,
and he was leaving for the county seat
to place the little one in an orphans
home.
The beauty of the child and the pa
thetic story appealed to the newly we'd
ded couple. The next day little Mabel
Hines was riding in the big auto. She
had found a new father and mother.

WAR EMARCIPATES
THE TURKISH WOMEN
Wells Being Discarded or Modified,
and Theaters viii Soon See
Native Actresses Is Belief.

Constantinople.-Sin the allies aban-
doned the Dardanelles attack Constan-
ttnople has become normal and Is now
as far removed from the theater Of
war as any big city In neutral coun-.
tries. The cafes and motion picture
houses are well attended, and the thea
tiers are crowded. Recently there was
a big first night In the Petit Champs,
the occasion being the performance Of
q French comedy. The actors were
Turks, but the actresses were all Ar
menians, as Turkish women are not
yet permitted to appear on the stage,
but the general opinion is expressed by
all thinking Turks that before long
their women will make their first ap-
pearance as actresses.
The emancipation Of women In Tur-
key has made remarkable progress
since the beginning Of the war. In the
best society IN Constantinople the wo-
men no longer wear their wells when
receiving their guests. Though wells
continue to be worn by the Turkish
women in the street, still the fashion
has made them so 1imsy and transpar-
ent that they might just as well be dis
pensed with.
Consequently all the fascination and
mystery that heretofore has surround
ed the harem has suddenly disappeared.
There Is no longer any such thing, and
In its place there Is simply the usual
family life. The Turkish woman Is as
much housewife as her European sis
ter, and in this war her resources have
been taxed to the utmost. Despite the
fact that the rich agricultural country
Of Anatolia is not far distant, the prices
Of all necessaries of Life have increased
enormously.
Turkey has awakened from its long
lethargy, and the war has brought a
new life in the empire. Progress Is
now the keynote, and the indications
are that within a few years CONSTANT
nople viii be one Of the most advanced
cities In the world.

AN AMERICAN EAGLE.


The eagle has always been the en-
blem Of power and courage. It is pic
tured in many ways, the most popular
way being spread out This Is called
the spread eagle.
The United States in 17S5 adopted
the bald eagle. its wings displayed, as
the national emblem. You know that
sailors and soldiers always make a pet
of something and take 1t with them on
their trips. Well, in the civil war the
Wisconsin soldiers took with them as
their mascot young eagle.
II Is very hard to get an eagle from
its nest, for the nests are usually very
high up and in lonely places. An In
dian once managed to steal a very
young eagle from its nest, and he sold
it to q soldier. The soldier named it
abe" for he intended to present the
bird to Abraham Lincoln when the war
closed. The soldiers all made a great
fuss over this bird. At mastering In
they decorated him with red, white and
blue ribbons. tying the colors around
its neck and putting an immense
rosette on its breast. The color bearer,
the tallest man in the regiment, car
ried "Abe" on a staff, which was placed
a little above the colorS.
When any orders were given the col
ors and the eagle were always first in
place. 1t would sit very still and look
from side to side to see If everything
was all right. When battles were being
fought it would scream and flap its
wings as If to cheer the soldiers. 1t
seemed to understand all the orders
given to the men.
Once when the men were ordered to
lie on the ground it flew down and
stretched fat beside the soldiers. When
they got up it few to the top Of its
perch again, So the story goes.
1t went through twenty-five battles
and thirty skirmishes and was wound
ed three times.
When the war was over it Travelled
all over the country and received as
much homage as a great man. A vet
eran was detailed to take care Of it and
was well paid for doing so.
The bird died in 1881, and fits skin
was stuffed and put in the state cap
itoL But it was latey burned In q
great fire.

REFORESTING SMALL ISLAND
Plan to Make Hahitabls Nee ef the

Honolulu.-The reforesting OF now

waiian group. is the proposition the
territorial board of agriculture. the
members of which. after a visit to the
small islet heretofore designated un-
suitable for settlement, decided to be-
gin the work of planting algaroba
trees there.
1t is recommended a portion Of the
island swept by the strong trade winds
be fenced TO prevent depredations by
sheep and wild goats. Members OF the
board say the introduction Of horses
on the island would assist In the dis

1t is also proposed to construct sew

rainwater that falls so plentifully at
all times. Algaroba trees planted there
ten years ago have reached a substan-

A MODEL TEACHER

p. M. Fisher of Oakland, CaI- Thinks
Oakland, CaL-"There goes q school
marin You can tell them by their
dowdy dress and their prim manner"
"Oh, can you, thought asks Princi
pal p. III. Fisher of the Oakland Tech

Brains, beauty, charm, magnetism,
attractiveneSs, poise and an overdose
Of common sense are the general at
tributes The old type Of teacher is
extinct, he says.
1.-The day of the Ichabod Crane type
Of teacher is gone" said Principal
Fisher to bis teachers. -'The time
when the lame, the halt and the blind
We're naturally elected as the custodi-
ans Of the desk and the wielders Of the

er is more likely TO look like a fashion

narrow views. no old maid ways. She
is brought into contact with many
sides of life and TO qualify she must
feel and understand. She must be SUI
perior not only mentally. but morally
and physically as well. She must be
well poised expert human and Rfi
Gent"
In the scale in which Principal Fisher
would weigh the prospective teacher
personally would have to outbalance
| education. 1t is also as important that
she be well formed as well informed
mo teacher needs to be a Venus;
neither should she dress like a dress
model" the principal elucidated, but
she must be wholesome and pleasant
| to look at, and her dress should be both
becoming and businesslike without be-
| ing designed especially to attract no
| tice on its own account.
But that is not all Though she have
the beauty of Helen of Troy, the style
of Gaby des Lys. the brain Of Mime. de
| Stael, still she would not qualify 100
per cent unless she had voice tuneful
as q thrush, soothing as the tapping of
summer waters on a sandy beach.
1.-The voice should be free from all
acid qualities, gentle and friendly" in
the opinion Of the Oakland educator,
land I'm character the teacher must be
neither too insistent nor overstrenu-
Gus. Her mission is to call out a re-
Spouse in her pupils. not to set them on
edge. The driving quality is too often
apt to drive diffident natures to the
wall. Instead of drawing them out she
is likely to shut them up like clans.
''As gentle as a nun. yet she must be
| firm as q soldier. The pupil who tries
to get through school by lodging and
fourf1ushing she must call promptly"
