All over an Umbrella.

An elderly old gentleman G. up
an awful fuss at the Vanderbilt hotel
courtroom in New York recently. He
presented his check for his coal
hat, had went away and returned,
demanding his umbrella. The boy
asked him for a check he ex-
planned that he had presented the
check in order to get his coat and hat.
The boy told him to look over the rack
and see If his umbrella was there, n
inasmuch as the elderly gentleman
was nearsighted, he found 1t necessary
to take all of the 26 umbrellas, one at
a time, over to the window. He rec
ognized none of them. The boy, ex-
ceedingly patient, told the excited
searcher that little remained to be
done. There being no check, and the
man finding it impossible to identity
his property, the hat boy was quite
right. There was a pause, after when
the elderly man slammed his hat down
on his head, drew over a chair and,
announcing hat he would sit there I'M

NO HARM IN SPRING FEVER
bated With Tonnes, Declares
Medical Writers.

"Spring fever'-a true spring fever
is something to be cultivated, accord
ing to the New York Medical Journal.
1t is not to be combated with laxatives
or tonics. The feeling of lassitude and
lack of lone is expected annually about
this time of year. consequently 1t
comes.
We unconsciously choose this season
as an excuse for giving way to IAN in
dolence which Is always seeking to
turn us out to play. This pleasure de-
sire withdrawn from the task, that
abundant flow of interest which right
| fully knows neither times nor seasons,
and which truly exercises the body
away from fatigue and malaise. The
law of conservation of energy, how
ever, teaches us that withdrawn ener-
gy is only at work somewhere else"
1t is, in the medical writer's opinion,
mans immemorial and somewhat
magical feeling Of Identification with
the world of nature that brings out al
this season a renewed impulse of self
expression, and for exercise of crea-
i've power" The restraints and con
ventions of a complex civilization, how
ever, make us repress and inhibit these
impulses. Hence the unrest.
But If we would cultivate the

ly into creative work it may be made
to supplant all periods of default O

ROME, June 26.-The Italian Offic-
ial Socialist party and its newspaper,
Avanti, have just come out openly IN
opposition to the war. The members
of the party are understood to be IN
leaoue with the anti-war factions Of
Socialist parties IL other behgerent
nations. They demand a republic
here. At a secret meeting in Milan
the executive committee of the party
adopted a planform demanding:
N) A republican form of govern
ment with a self-convoking parliament.
Universal suffrage to both sexes of vot-
ing age; proportional representation
abolition of the senate, which is now
appointed by the Crown; limited free
dom of organization, press and speech
abolition of the political police.
(2) The foreign policy of the nation
to be taken away from the executive
branch of the government and entrust-
ed exclusively to the parliament.
(3) Communal and provisional au
tonomy (home rule.)
az A labor policy tending to de
velop the latent wealth of the country.
(5) A policy protecting the consum
er strictly co-ordinated with a vigor
Gus policy of production.
(6) Recognition on the part of so
ciety of every workingman's right to
decent living.
(7) A fiscal system based on pro
gressive income tax; extension of STATE
monopolies.
The Socialist propaganda will, TO
the present., be confined to the civil
ian masses of the cities and agricultur
al districts. Later on, it is said, an at
tempt will be made to introduce tn
propaganda in the army at the front
Impartial observers consider this as tn
most dangerous part of the Soeialis
program, as General Cadorna has in
pressed the country with the fact tina
politics will not be tolerated within tn

The German proletariat, with the

is a great measure of help from the
