Salesman Danced
"Came Leg TrOt" for
the Queen Of Italy
By John HI. Hearley

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Rome, Nov. 15.-(By maiD-How an
American salesman tried to sell wood
en- leg to the Queen Of Italy under the
impression that she was a Red Cross
nurse was told here today for the first
| time.
G. C. Swain, breezy drummer for an
artificial limb maker of Washington,
d. c., had been doing his best to place
an order with the hospital committee
representing the Italian government.
Just as he was on the verge of giving
the gentlemen up as bad prospects in
came a most charming black eyed nurse
and Charlie, taking heart, started all
over again for her benefit.
"It's all a question of getting used
to it," said Swain. "See. l can spin
around on mine like top!" Swain
suited the action to the word. For
Swain S best sample was his own left
leg.
The Red Cross nurse was intensely
interested.
Swain unwound every inch of his
| line of talk Over the mysterious frowns
and restlessness of the committeeman
he gave her much unsolicited informa-
tion. He told her of his climb to the
skyseraping dome of st. Peter 8. II
she didn't believe it, she could ask the
guide who had seen his performance
and had received his card.
Afterward, he caught up chair and
danced the "grizzly BEAR" gliding
gradually into hesitation. He end
ed his dancing spree with bit of the
tango. Apparently amazed and
amused at his stunts, the black eyed
nurse made her thanks and disappeared.
The American salesman, thereupon,
turned again to the committee. He met
laundering storm of wrath. ''Fool!
Foolp' roared the chorus of voices,
didn't you know that was Her Maies-
ty, Elona Queen of Italyl"
"Holy Smoke!' sighed Swain. ITO
think I had a golden opportunity and
used it like niekle plated one!

A BRIEF VISIT TO THE NOVELIST,
MRS. COREA HARRIS.

On Saturday, September 20, 1916, an
automobile friend took us to the beau
tifuI valley home of Mrs. Cora Harris
for a call and as the day was fine and
we were all we'll as to health and good
feeling the incident is worth mention
ing.
Her new novel THE Circuit Riders
Widow" is running now i'm the Satur,
Gay Evening Post and as it has to meet
the eager eyes of two millions of read
ers each week the authoress is a person
of nationwide interest. And it is well
to remark that Mrs. Harris is a native
Georgian and whatever is reflected from
her genius, becomes of particular inter-
est to those of us who take pride in
our native state. Every building on her
estate is constructed of pine logs, built
in perfectly correct style, and the inside
of her dwelling is luxurious, with ele-
CANT furnishings. She has water in the
house, splendid bath tubs and stationary
washstands, and yet every structure on
the place Gas before stated) is built of
hewed pine logs, grown on the premises
The residence is ceiled, not plastered,
the timber all grown on the property.
The immense tireplaces can accommo-
date a number Of stout logs at a time
She has cows and calves, thirty fat. hogs
and splendid mule teams, as well as an
auto car. for long Journeys to Carters-
vile. and other towns. She has one
daughter, married several years ago, and
the mother is devoted to her. We had
; O'Clock tea, English style, before we
left and the sun had set before our party
pulled itself away from the charming
hostess and started for a long drive
homewards She tells you very little of
herself with becoming modesty, but
the home and surroundings speak for
themselves

some. But the present crop of cotton
puts about as much money in circula-i
