The story concerns the great bat

girl. How she finally won out in the
face of a supercilious, arrogant
family of aristocrats is told in such
a manner as to bring forth the
heartiest applause. In Chicago re-

by Anna Nichols, and tells a de-

to repent his rashness when he
meets the lovely Lady Evelyn

element of mystery which is sus-

with charming romance and de-

lines are bright and witty, and it
is declared to be the best vehicle

SCOUTS NEED THE SOLDIERS.

Military life and scouting have much
In common, except the manual Of arms
and the carrying Of guns. which play
no part in the scout program.
Their common ground is In the devel-
opment Of discipline, the making Of
healthy bodies through outdoor activi-
ties and the creation of loyalty and
good citizenship.
Thousands Of civilians men Of good
character. who entered the army and
navy during the war, have acquired
through their experience in the serv-
ice qualities Of leadership that may
have been dormant during civilian
life.
Many Of them are Of Just the sort
to inspire boys, the kind that will
make good scoutmasters, Of whom
there Is a dearth. because they have
learned to obey and to command, and
because they have acquired knowledge
of hygiene and mt least the rudiments
OF wOOdcraft.
This fact was recognized by the
leaders Of the boy scout movemen:
from the beginning OF the formation
Of our great army.

SCOUTS
THEY WERE BOY SCOUTS

Vincent Fireno. a peddler OF fruits
in Utica, N. Y, had an unpleasant ex-
perience. He w8s propelling push
cart laden with oranges, bananas and
potted plants, when an automobile
came along. driven by a lady.
She intended to stop ut the curb. and
had almost succeeded when the auto
started over again and kept on going.
II finally stopped, but not until II had
struck the cart and demolished part OF

stopped and gazed. "A couple of hoy
scouts got busy and picked up the ven

the good old days the boys would have
regarded the accident as providential,
and gathered the fruit and departed

VICTIM OF TURKS RAPACITY
Dead City Of Farnagusta, on Island OF
Cyprus, a Monument to Their
Savaoery and Hate.

Farmagusta, "the place OF the god
dess." is In II desolate corner Of the
far-famed island Of Cyprus. One look
Mt the wrecked city shows plainly that
the goddess has forsaken her affairs.
It looks as though sandstone had
struck the place and buried Its glory
beneath n dune, from which rise the
remains OF churches, towers and a
cathedral.
II was not, however, the sands Of
the tropics that laid the ancient me,
tropolis low. The Turks, wrathful at
this city of 300 churches, attacked 1t In
a siege which might have rivaled the
ger overcome the city's defenders. The
pillaging of the conquerors completed
the ruin wrought by batterlng rams,
fire and stones.
Earthquakes followed and settled
the shattered stones further into the
sand. But through the city's days OF
destruction. even today, the outer walls
and bastions stand firm. The harbor
stronghold of Farmagusta would be u
formidable obstacle to attack even In
this day of 50-mile guns and scientific
artillery fire.
In one corner of the wall stands o
tower said to have been the scene OF
Desdemona's death at the hands OF
Othello.
Aside from the strong walls there
are few bits Of intact architecture
among the debris. An occasional palm
tree growing up through the ruins adds
to the effect of abandonment. A few
Turks hold the city gainst time, the
only enemy left to 1t.

Chihuahua Is Smallest.

The smallest of all recognized breeds
of dogs is the Chihuahua, which Is also
one of the most intelligent of all the
canine family. This breed Is product
of Mexico and Is named after a north,
crn country where there are thousands
of these little dogs running wild and
multiplying each year. II seems a re-
markable thing that In spite Of the
fact that they have never had any
dog shows In Mexico, one only has to
visit that country and try to purchase
a really good, typical little Chihuahua
from native to realize that the Next
cans know the worth of this dog of his
own country. How these dogs were
bred probably never will be known
Some authorities have minated that
they We're bred some generations back
from large squirrels, and this view Is
borne out by the fact that at one time
these dogs ran wild in the woods and
that the Chihuahua is nearly as pro
ficent In running up trees as the SOUR

Personl Influence.

To influence others one must have
a hearty fellow feeling for them. be
willing to extend helping hand as oc'
caslon demands. to cheer, to comfort
to console. Which means that imag'
nation also counts for much In tho
exercising of personal influence. TIL
unImaginative can never be genuinely
sympathetic. Sincerity, common sense,
forcefulness, courage. elf-confidence,
decision, sympathy, keenness of lmag'

qualities that need to be cultivated by
all who would draw on the aid of per-
sonal influence in pressing forward to
the goal Of success.

CLASS AGAINST CLASS.

The trouble is that the people in the
cities have the wrong notion that the
farmer ought to continue to, produce
fOodstuffs without any particular regard
as to whether he makes fair profit or
not. This notion Is not confined to the
United States. 1t seems to be preva-
lent throughout the world. -Wallace's
Farmer.
There is absolutely no truth in this
statement. The people in the cities
want the farmers to make fair pro-
fit. II for no better reason than self
interest, they would want the farmer to
succeed The business of the cities de-
ponds largely upon the financial pros
perity of the farmer, and this talk that
the cities are against>the agricultural
districts is all nonsense and should not
be INDUCED in. The farmers want the
town people to, be good consumers and
the town people want the farmers to
buy the goods they have to sell. The in
terests of each class is interviewer in
the interest of the other. Why not all
pull together and stop this silly talk that
is hurtful to the friendly feeling and
the best interests of all concerned?
