Everybody has read stories of waits

For some time the society has been

Had hidden wealth.

For twelve years Michael Kenney,
once Brooklyn water inspector, lived
In small furnished room at 2780 Nor
ris avenue, the Bronx. He seldom
spoke to anyone, and when he was ac-
cidentally asphyxiated by gas the POI
lice had no way Of ascertaining
whether he had any relatives.
1t was known he owned the two
family house in which he occupied a
room, and he was given decent bur-
ial.
Public Administrator Hammer went
to the Morris avenue house recently
and searched the room in hope Of
finding information which might lead
to relatives. In bureau drawers he
found bank books representing depos-
its of $4,000. Under an icebox there
was $2,041 in bills, and hidden in the
hair of an old settee was 800 in gold.

MEDIATION IN WAR.
Roman POpss, From Earliest
Time Deemed Ii Privilege.
First Instance Dates From 400, When
Effort Was Made to Arrange
Peace With Goth Leader.

From the earliest time Of papacy,
popes, as the religious heads of the
Catholic church, have considered 1t
their task to intercede us mediators
In temporal disputes. observes a his
torlan. Following are a few Instances
As early as 400, when Alarlc / de-
clared he would withdraw from Rome
only on condition that the Romans
should arrange a peace favorable to
him, s. Innocent / went with an EN-
bassy Of the Romans to Emperor Hon
erius. at Rayenna, to try, IL possible.
to make peace with him and the Goths,
but failed In his endeav0rs to bring
about peace. More successful was
Gregory |, who played the same part
on the occasion OF the invasion of Italy
by the Lombards. Owing to his friend
ship with the Lombardian queen Theu-
dulinda, he actually mednted a favor
able peace. When northern Italy was
devastated by Attila the venerable
bishop Of Rome, Leo 1.-The first of the
great p0pes-by a personal encounter
with the king Of the Huns, prevented
him from marching upon Rome. Ho
went In 452 to upper Italy, and met
Attiia at NIinei0, In the vicinity Of
Mantua, obtaining from him the prom
Use that he would withdraw from italy
and negotiate peace with the emperor.
This pope also succeeded in obtaining
another favor for the inhabitants Of
Rome. When in 455 the city was cap
tured by the Vandals under Geneseric,
the "scourge Of God" Leo's interces-
sion obtained promise that the city
should not be injured and the lives Of
the inhabitants should be spared.
Another pope, Benedict the Twelfth,
who from 1884 to 1912 occupied the
holy see, was as unsuccessful as a
mediator as the present supreme pom
tlff. At that time Charles ~ Of France
had died without leaving an heir, and
when his cousin, Philip vi, put the

was contested by Edward III Of Eng
land Benedict XII, who wanted to
mediate, was not listened to, and there
ensued hostillties lasting, with some
interruptions, for a hundred years.
The popes mediated successfully be-
tween Christian opponents in cases
where it was important to unite them
in the common cause of Christianity
against Turkey.
Pope Gregory (1271-1276), for the
sake Of a crusade against the Turks,
worked indcfatlgably upon recon
eiliatlon Of the princes in Italy and
Germany, and Paul III (1534-1549),
nearly three centuries later, tried to
prevent a war between Spain and
France. Clement TX aided Venice
against the Turks by medlating the
peace between Louis XIV ana Spain,
etc.

The MatterIorn.

The Matterhorn was the favorite
peak Of those who ''went in" for the
hazardous sport of mountain climbing
in the Swiss Alps. Now reports say
that there is no more mountain climb
ing being done. 1t Is easy enough to
guess why, writes Niksah. For those
who went around the world looking
for hazardous occupations before the
war there is now no need to make ex-
tended search, to stop at expensive
hotels, or to hire a retinue of guides.
Nineteen nations offer the adventurer
more or less Of a salary along with
board, lodging and hospital facilities
for the pleasure of risking his neck.
No wonder mountain climbing has
fallen off.
There are those who say that 1t
will never again regain its old high
estate. They rather think aviation
will attract most of the devotees who
survive the war. But your true noun
taineer laughs at such a suggestion.
For him there is no thrill to replace
the one he feels as he swings by his
fngertips over a 500-foot drop.

MAY KEEP ENGAGEMENT RING
Jersey City Judge Rules In Favor cF
Girl Whose intended Sought
Return Of Sparkler.

There can be no Indian givers on
the Jersey side of the Hudson, so
ruled a judge In Jersey City, writes
New York correspondent. AS a result
Of the decision a young swain is out
$3.50 diamond ring, which he wanted
blue-eyed. petite blonde to return to
him.
The two were engaged, and, according
to custom, he placed the sparkler in
question on her left hand. They then
quarreled because she, according to
his testimony, preferred the tango, jazz
and foxtrot to sitting on sofa and dis
cusslng their future. Therefore he
broke off the engagement and demand
ed his presents back.
The judge was called upon to decide
whether an engagement. ring was a
gift outright or merely a gift contin-
gent upon the fulfillment of promise
to wed. The court then arranged a
little Solomon judgment" skit that
worked to perfection, so far as the
judge and the young woman were con-
cerned.

the career of the countess of Dudley,
the enthusiastic Red Cross worker who
organized the first voluntary hospital
corps to cross the Channel on the out
break Of the present world war.
When, exactly ten years ago, her
ladyship presented her husband with
twin sons, one Of her first visits on
her recovery was to a village church
near where she was staying at the
time.
The officiating clergyman was quite
unaware Of the presence Of Lady Dud-

''Two are better than one" greatly

were with her.

French Arlstocracy Works.


! The opening of n shop by Viscoun-
tess Gort attracts far more notice In
England than 1t would in France,
where many aristocrats earn their lIv-
ing in less lucrative ways than those

Marques de Torcey D'Etallonde keeps
an inn at Carnac, the Marquee de Fol-
ligne is an omnibus conductor, the
Comte de Rosgrand works in a -four
mill, the Baron de Soigny is postman
and the Comte de st. Paul is clerk.

Antiquity Of Jerusalem.

The wonderful antiquity Of Jerusa-
lem has only been appreciated in re-
cent years. Up to so years ago, OBJ
serves the Chicago Examiner, it was
. thought that Jerusalem was Of little
importance as a city until it became
the 'City of David" king of Israel.
But with the discovery Of the TeI-el-
Amarna tablets in Egypt new light
was shed upon the history Of the sa-
cred city. There were found six letters
written by the king of Jerusalem to
the Pharaoh Of Egypt, dating from the
fifteenth century 3. C. The name Of
this king Of Jerusalem was Abd-hlba,
or as some scholars read the cunel-
form, Abd-sadak, and he writes to the
Pharaoh beseechlng him to send SOL
diers, almost as the Turks must have
sent messages to Germany asking for
re-enforcements that they might save
the day.

beyond.

the French women employed in fac

dustrial centers over there, and return

has been the badge Of femininity. Only
where working close to certain machin-
cry would make skirts dangerous have
they been discarded for boomers, or,
in most instances, overalls. What was
taken up as fad, says a correspond
ent, has given way to the older and
stronger dictates Of modesty. And
after work, In spite Of the fact that it
has been work amid grease and dirt
of the exceptional sort-or perhaps
because Of it-there Is recourse to the
powder pun and the other appurten-
ances Of frill that in some form or
other are synonymous with woman the

German Schooling.

German schooling has proved antag-
3nlstlc to cooperation, although de-
handing unity of action through mass
obedience. 1t has failed to foster real
cooperation, for cooperation Is a
method by which persons of their own
volition and by no compulslon may
work together tremendously, writes
Winthrop Talbot in the Century Maya
zine. Only when training and school
ing are the common privilege of all is
hat state of civic development posi-
Die which permits society to become CO.
operative In its action. In other words,
A sociallzed society becomes more and
more possible only as all individual
members acquire each the widest

The Mystery Of Love.

Love is the great mystery Of life.
It may be the growth Of years, months
or an instant, says the Christian Her
aid. Man sees a million beautiful
faces; he hears a million sweet voices ;
he meets million women with flowers
at their breasts and light in their eyes
and they do not touch him. Then he
sees The one, and she holds him for
life ind death. She is no nobler, bet
ter " more beautiful than were those
he passed by, and yet his world Is
empb without her. Assuredly there
IS far more than fashion in this uni
versal force we call love.

Paper Moneys Nicknames.

Now that paper money.is perma-
nent part of our pocket currency, we
await the inevitable nickname for the
notes, which is sure to come, says the
London Chronicle.
If we follow the precedent set across
the Atlantic in 1862, when "greenbaeks"
first made their appearance, we might
be satisfied with Westminster" with
reference to the very admirable litho-
graph of the palace which adorns the
reverse Of the new notes. Something
better than that is sure to come along.
In the army the notes are known as
~C3's," in jocular allusion to the re-
markahly narrow chest which the art
lst has given st. George, who is IN con-
nct With a very robust dragon.

More Fame for STUTTGART.

Stuttgart, which French aviators
bombed recently, is the original home
of the aircraft engine. 1t was In Stuff
CART that Daimler evolved the inter-
nal combustion engine which French
man, with an eye to utility, quickly
turned to account In the first practical
motor car, says the Christian Science
Monitor. Here, too, Count Zeppelin
evolved his monster airships, making
use of the knowledge which trials and
experiments in the big Daimler works
had served to bring to light. Facts
such as these seem more pertinent at
these times than the other reasons for
Stuttgart's fame. She has, as every
one knows, a famous music academy,
and her reputation for music is GER
tainly far older than that which she
has acquired by her machinery; also,
1t is unspoiled by anything Of the ma
ture which has made the very word
Zeppelin a byword in civilized coun-
tries.

mo crow.

/ have seen no bird walk the ground
with just the same air the crow does.
It is not exactly pride; there is no
strut or swagger in 1t, though perhaps
Just a little condescension; 1t is the
contented and self-possessed gait Of
a lord over his domains. All these
acres are mine, he says, and all these
crops; men pillow and sow for me, and
[ stay here or go there, and find life
sweet and good wherever | am. The
hawk looks awkward and out Of place

STOLEN TREASURES OF AIT
Germany VIII Hold Rare Collections
Taken From France and Belgium
Unless Peace Terms interfere.

Win one Of the peace conditions IN
volve a return to Belgian and French
art treasures removed by the Ger
mans since 1914 from the occupied
territories? asks the New York Eve
ming Post.
Until the present wars outbreak,
everyone has supposed the custom Of
nations changed since Napoleon's
time, SO that 1t would no longer be
possible for conqueror to fill his mu-
seums with plumber. That SUPPOSE
ton, like so many others, seems to
have been given the lie by the kaiser,
whose agents are said to have emp
tied the Antwerp and Brussels mu-
seums for the benefit Of Berlin. Even
the emperor's grandfather, in the war
Of 1870 took practically no toll Of
Paris art treasures.
Malice has ascribed this moderation
to the lack, -la-that Spartan genera
ton, Of appreciation for art, which led
those earlier invaders to confine their
activities, for the most part, to or
molu clocks and silver services. The
modern Prusslan, however from the
crown prince down, has become
tillettante, an art connolsseur. Hence
the very thought of cleanup made Of
art objects. Berlin, Willy nllly, is to
be made a world art center. If tour
lists prefer Paris because Of Its great
er natural charm, they viii, In any
event, be forced to visit the Prussian
capital in order to see Rubens "De-
scent From the Cross"

mercy--unless the terms Of peace pro-
vide otherwise.
