What Did He Mean7

Until three o'clock this afternoon
Warden Hanley of the Tombs prison
was a perfectly contented warden, says
a New York correspondent. He had
been told twice during the morning
that a man with frOck coat and q
silk hat had called to see him, and as
the man was to return at three o'clock
Mr.. Hanley cut short his tour of the
prison and returned to his Office. He
found that the caller had called, fumed
and finally left this note: Thirty
years ago my father, who was of me-
dium height and undoubtedly punctual
was employed as heat denunciatOr In
a metal mill in Pittsburgh. For years
or at least for considerable time, he
told no one. However, it was common
rumor. Now, after all these years,
does it seem that man would delib-
erately take any such action? What
would be his motive? l ask you as
a humanitarian to discuss this with no
one. Merely use 1t for your own infor-
nation and proceed likewise. l leave
for Pittsburgh at four o'clock, but trust
you implicitly.-A Friend" At late
hour Warden Hanley, having read the
note through 90 times, was reading it
through for the ninety-thlrd time.

His Prescription.

He had been out the night before
during a Zeppelin raid. The shock to
his system was so great that he had
had to sit up with friend and finish
two bottles Of restorative, and start on
q third.
In the morning he naturally felt Ill,
so he hied himself unto the man Of
pills and pOtiOns.
One glance was sufficient for the doc
tor to diagnose his case.
"Ah, yes Any special symptom?"
"Yes, doctor. Every now and then ]
come over SO funny. Something in
side me keeps coming up and then set
Ting down again"
"Ah, yes" replied the unsympathetic

Erect Lanterns for Drowned.

Suspended from tall poles that are
to be found on the banks of rivers in
China are quaint lanterns that sway
back and forth in the wind, adding a
picturesque touch to the landscape by
day and weird illumination by night.
bach of these lanterns has been placed
by relatives of some person who has
been drowned in the nearby stream,
in the hope that the spirit of the de-
ceased may see the light as 1t journeys
in search of heaven. Many are too
poor to erect these supports and so,
by paying a suitable sum, are permit
ted to utilize other peoples poles.-

everything through drink, although he
had given that up now"
"They all say that" observed Mel
win. He made some inquiries the next
day as 10 the tramp, for he would
have liked TO recover the papers, and
then forget the circumstance.
The documents In question consti-
tuted some letters and the written
opinion OF an attorney as TO the title
to Wellington Heights. That was a
large tract Of fertile farmland which
had been wllled to Melvin by his uncle.
When he married, Melvin planned TO
sell the place and employ new capltnl
In his business and build for them
selves a more pretentIous home.
He met with severe disappointment.
II seemed that his uncle had purchased
the property from an estate and had
taken the deed to II minus the sigma
ture Of one heir, who could not be lo-
Gated. This heir was one Jasper Kings
ley. His interest In the estate was
ridiculously small, but the lack Of his
signature clouded the title TO yelling
ton Heights, and no one would buy or
loan on the property on that account.
"Oh, Melvin! who do you think
turned up again today?" inquired Ar
line a week later. as Melvin returned
from the village.
II can't guess" said Melvin.
"The tramp l gave your coat to"
after another onel" suggested Mel
win In an acrid tone.
"Not at all. He was very anxious
TO see you. He left these papers, which
he found in the cot. He said he had
discovered and read them, and that
they interested him, and that he must
see you to explain about something inn
portant"
"As what, for instance% questioned
Melvin skeptlcally.
"He wouldn't say. He'll be here
again about seven O'clock" he said.
"Humph! to ask a reward for re-
turning the papers, I'll warrant" de-
clared Melvin.
There was n ring at the front door
bell just as husband and wife had fin
ished their evening meal. Melvin an
swered the summons TO greet the
tramp Airline had told him about
This is Mr.. Waiter" imputed his
visitor.
"Yes, what is it2" asked Melvin,
rather crisply.
II brought back some papers"
II know you did"
81 happened to read them-lucky for
you! 1t seems that you are troubled
about a cloud on the title of yelling
ton Heights. To clear it a qult-claim
deed from Jasper Kingsley is neces-
sary."
'That Is true" answered Melvin.
swell, I'm Jasper Kingsley, and your
sweet little wife treated me so cleverly
1 tramped 1t back here ten miles to
sign the deed"
'Tve made arrangements with JAS
per to hire him around the new home
we're going to build" Melvin advised
his wife a few days later, "and have
provided for him handsomely outside
of that. l shall never try to curb an
impulse of your kindly heart, Airline,
dear, for your charity in giving away
that old coat has mended all our for
tunes"

MAS ovERRULED BY HIS SON
Sir Edward Carson Tells How the
Young Man Got Into the Brit
ish Navy.

Sir Edward Carson introduced a
personal note into Il speech which he
made the other day when he was the
guest of the British Empire Producers
organization, at the Savoy hotel. says
the London Chronicle.
II remember, said Sir Edward
''when a little son Of mine came 70 Inc

He said, You don't seem to recognize
the importance of the navy; II is the
great connecting link between the
mother country and the colonies

The Better

Lonesome today, 1 suppose?" ques-
toned Melvin Waite, as he came home
from work TO be greeted with the
usual warm and welcome kisses.
''Why, not so much as usual, dear,
replied bright and lovely Airline, the
bride Of month. "0f course II is
dreadfully horrld here without you,
but l had company nearly half Of the
afternoon"
"Indeed?" spoke Melvin.
ayes. 1t seems that our neIghbors
next door have three children-two
boys and the sweetest cherub Of little
girl you ever saw. The three of them
trooped into the yard shyly and after
a vast secret cOniab, the tiny miss ap-
preached and asked me If l would
make a belt for each Of the brothers,
as they had wooden swords and she
n flag and they were going to war"
81 declare! I" commented Melvin, smil-
ing In his usual good-natured way.
"They got hold of broad leather
strap" went on Airline. swell, to make
the story short l cut 1t in two and
found some buckles in your fishing
kit"
"Umw muttered Melvin under his
breath, "of course, the silver ones |
She'd be sure to pick out the pret-
TEST"
II sewed the buckles on and fitted
mp the little ones nicely" Airline pro-
ceeded with her narration. "Then the
delighted tots played soldier to their
hearts content. It was a very pleasant
break in the mOnotony, for, dear, you
know 1 count every minute until you
come home"
Which compliment of alteration and
a hug and kiss won Melvin over to
forget his cherished buckles. Soon,
however, his brow clouded anew.
''The scissors wouldn't cut the tough
leather" prattled on Airline breezily,
''but OH your razor was so sharp.

sOliloquized, and none too happily.
ibid a man ever see such artless-
ness-and destructiveness? won't
scold, though. She will mend as time
goes on"
But Airline did not mend. A week
later Melvin came home to find Airline
jubilantly excited as she held up to his
view fancy vest.
"Isn't 1t cleaned just beautiful" she
demanded, with sparkling eyes. "You
know how it was spotted. WE'LL l got
your tooth brush and your hat brush
and some gasoline, and rubbed, and
rubbed. and rubbed, and-why, how
glum you look, dedrie !"
"Only amazed at the fine job you
have done," observed Melvin craftily.
Its the limit" he muttered, once
alone. "Tll have to consult mother
and see what can be done"
But mother was kindly lndulgent.
She smiled in her gentle, patient way.
my boy" she said, don't forget
that Airline is young and inexperienced.
And remember one thing-all these re-
markable experiments of hers are
actuated by the very best impulses In
the world. She means well, and
wouldn't try to subdue the kindly
spirit for worlds, If 1 were you"
So Melvin bore his burden patiently.
Then came final move on the part
Of Airline that very nearly drove him
frantic. He searched the wardrobe one
evening for light summer coat he had
not worn for some time, to find 1t
gone.
"Oh, yes, / remember" spoke Airline
quickly. II gave it away, dear. One
sleeve was torn and patched and de-
cided it wasn't good enough for you"
Melvin said no more, but he looked
pretty serious. He recalled having left
some papers in the pocket of the old
coat. They were of no particular
value to an outsider, but they referred
to some private business matters Of his
own which had caused him a good deal
of anxiety.
"Who was the man you gave the
coat TOT" inquired Melvin, controlling
the feelings that were surging within
him and endeavoring to speak cas-
ually.
"Oh, suppose he was tramp" re-
piled Airline, ''but he acted real re-
spectacle and polite, He said he was
tramping through the village, and, as
he had lived here once, many years
ago, 1t seemed good to see the old
town. He said he was quite rich once,
and owned property here, but had lost

Causes of Nervousness.

There is an article on the care Of
children in the WOman's Home Com
oaniOn in which the writer says:
Nervousness sometimes Is the re-
SILT of some physical defect. Malnu-
triton, anemia, defective eyesight, bad
teeth or adenoids may be the predis-
posing cause. Nature offers the best
cure. Plenty of nourishing food and
wholesome outdoor life are essential,
and these children should be encour-
aged to play and to take regular ex-
ercise, such as walking, rowing and
swimming. Real country life is always
the best, and camping is cure in it.

few GERMANS ALIENS
Most Of Those Living in United
States Naturalized.
Great Proportion Of Austrlans, Hun
uarlans, Turks and Bulgarlans
Not Citizens, However.

The natives Of Germany, Austria
Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey now
residing In the United States aggre-
gate approximately 100000, or about
AZ per cent Of the total population
OF the country.
The foregoing total is announced by
Director Sam L. Rogers of Uncle
Sans bureau Of the census, as the
result of a calculation based on the
census figures Of 1910, the reports Of
the buyeau Of immigration for the
period between 1910 and the present
time, and the estimated mortality dur
Ing that period. Although 1t is not
possible by this method to determine
with absolute exactness the number
Of natives Of the countries named now
living In the United States, 1t is be-
lleved that the results obtained repre-
sent a reasonably close approximation
to the facts.
These 4,662OO0 foreigners are dis
trlbuted. according to country of birth,
as follows:
Austria .............'..'.. ..1,3T6,OOO
hungary .........s.......... 13S,OOO
turkey '''''''.'.''''''.'s Ioo,OOO
Bulgaria ........,.......... Il,UOO
It is impossible to say whether the
proportions Of aliens-that is, persons
who have not applied for naturaliza-
ton rtificates-amOng these for
elgners are approximately the same as
they were in 1910; but, assuming this
to be the case, the number of male
aliens twenty-One years of age and
over included in the above total would
be approximately 964,O00, or about 80
per cent of the total number of male
inhabitants of the United States twen-
ty-one years of age and over. The dis
tribution of these aliens, according to
country Of birth, would be as follows:
Germany .................... .1oo,OOO
Austria ...............s.ss .44I ,OOO
turkey ............s..ss.s S3,OOO
Bulgaria .................. S,OOO
The proportion of aliens among
male Germans twenty-one years Of age
and over is very much smaller than
the corresponding proportions for the
other countries named, having been
only a little more than IL per cent in
1910, as against approximately 63 per
cent for Austrians, "a per cent for
Hungarians, 50 per cent for Turks,
and nearly 80 per cent for Bulgarians.

for the cure Of eye defects was made
by Roger Bacon, the great scientist of
the thirteenth century. Doctor Lang
don Down made this interesting state
ment, but added that the making Of
the spectacles was carried out by GER

of those days, however, advised their
