Garibaldis for Freedom.

Where his study window looks out
on the yellow waters of the Tiber,
winding through the Rome for which
he fought so long and bravely, | lis
tened, one afternoon in late December,
to that fiery old warrior, Gen. Ricciot-
ii Garibaldi, while he spoke of the war
and of Italy's part in 1t, Lewis r. Free
man writes in Worlds Work. 'All of
my boys are fighting" he had said,
land my daughters and my wife are
nursing. Two of the boys are gone
killed in France-but the other five
are with the Italian army. They are
all good fighters, I think; but one of
them-Peppino, the eldest-is also an
able soldier. Or at least he ought to
be, for he has been trained In the
'Garibaldi' school. There hasn't been
war (save that between Russia and
sJapan) or revolution in any part of
the world in the last twenty years In
which he hasn't drawn a sword, car
ricd a rifle or swung machete."

Babies Cries Set to Music.

The crying of babies is not regard
ed as musical, but nevertheless it is.
Rev. Noel Bonava Hunt, senior
curate of st. Matthew's church, Willes-
den, England, has set infants cries to
music. He was particularly impressed
with the beauty and musical quality of
the walls and cries of the infants at
the baptismal services held at st. Mat
thew's. He tried to persuade the
church musicians to catch the sounds
and set them to music, but they re-
fused. At length Rev. Mr.. Hunt him
self recorded the sounds in the form
of chant set to the words of the One
Hundred and Thirty-seventh psalm :
"By the waters of Babylon we sat
down and wept, when we remembered
thee, 0 Zion" 1.-THE composition is
original" Rev. Mr.. Hunt says, "and it
is little grotesque, but it is musical.
1t represents the meaning Of the words
to which 1t is set

VARIETY IN HIS WRITINGS
Author Of Many Popular Dime Novels
\ Later Repented and Produced
Several Serious Works.

Perhaps there was something in the
atmosphere of Maine that set the lit
erary tide toward Observation-Disclosures.
At any rate, one of the most popular
authors Of dime novels was j. III. Ingra-
ham, who was born In Portland and
died in 1866 in the South. His was q
varied career. He abandoned mercan-
tile pursuits and became a teacher in
Washington college, near Natchez,
Miss, and in 1886 produced a volume
of his impressions of the Southwest.
Then he turned his attention to dime
novel writing and brought out "The
Dancing Star, or the Smuggler of the
Chesapeake" published in Boston. This
was followed by three dime novels
published in New York in 1923.
Captain Kyd, or the Wizard of the
Sea- Josephine, or the Maid of the
Gulf" and Dancing Feather, or the
Pirate Schooner" three frankly pi
ratical, though not pirated stories.
LADY Imogene, a Tale of Long Is
land Sound" is not pirate story, but
is the equal of the others in literary
merit.
In later life he repented, and while
his dime novels are not to be found
on the shelves of public libraries, pos
sibly among the dust-covered volumes
in the regions where the uncalled-for
| books are placed may be found his seri-
Gus works, "a Prince of the House
| of David" "The Pillar of Fire" and
"The Throne of David" produced after
| he had been ordained as an Episcopal
| minister and rector of st. Thomas
| Hall. an academy for boys at Holly
| Springs, Miss.

the same westerly gales howl over it,

CAMPAIGNING IN MACEDONIA.

Campaigning in Macedonia differs for
the correspondent from campaigning
elsewhere. In the greater armies in the
greater fields a correspondent is cared
for, guarded. watched, night herded.
Everything is provided for him except
his uniform and his wrist watch. He
rides out in fast cars he is taken to high
hills from which to watch the distant
action; he sleeps in hotels of different
degrees of excellence, says Herbert
Corey in 9TH National Geographic maya
zine. In Macedonia he first secures ere
dentials permitting him to visit the al
lied armes; then he buys an outfit-tent,
cooking pots, blankets. water bucket

orderly and he takes to the road. Things

Changed Dresses Change Lovers.

Dorothy and Elsie were virtually
twins, not only in appearance but in
taste. Each had dress the other one
liked, and they decided to trade. 1t
happened that Dorothy and Elsie had
previously met two young men, and
being only slightly acquainted with
the girls, they judged each girl by the
dress she wore, with the natural result
that they traded girls. Time passed.
The inevitable happened. AS their
wedding day approached they We're
still unaware of the mistaken identity.
