FREAKS ENTITLED TO FAME
European Families That Had Ma, e
Than Ordinary Claims to
Worlds Attention.

There is living at Bilbao, Spain, a
family OF seven who between them
possess no fewer than 1854 fingers. One
OF them has % fingers, another Ii
while of the remaining five each can
boast couple of hands with r. 6E-
gers apiece.
At Koshilivo, Russia, a very similar
phenomenon exists in the fifty or more
descendants of a peasant with extra
myers on his hands who married at
the beginning of the last century, al
OF whom are lowered with from enc
to five fingers in excess of the normal
number
The last surviving member of what
was perhaps the record family with
regard to weight was, in the person
OF Charles Atkins, few years back
Inferred at Harrow, England. He
weighed 476 pounds, his brothers, who
predeceased him, being no less than
5O4 and $50 pounds.
The family record for longevity has
not been beaten since Robert Parr, the
great-grandson of the celebrated
Thomas Parr, died in 1857 at the age
OF one hundred and twenty-four. His
father lived to celebrate his one hun
dred and ninth birthday, his grand
father reached one hundred and thir-
teen, while his greatgrandfather was
152 at the time of his death.
There is mentioned in the Harleian
Miscellany a Scotch weaver and his
wife who were the proud parents of
62 children, SO of whom reached their
majority.
Large as this family was, it's Jane
pales before that of Russia one
Ivan Wassilig who was the PR d IA
Their of 81. BY his first wife had
50 children in the following order ::
Four times bankruptcies at birth
seven times triplets and 16 times
! twins. BY his second spouse he had
twice triplets and six times twins.
Undoubtedly the record for misfor,
tune belongs to Belgian family
named Adnet. The father, Jean Ad-
net, was drowned; his wife committed
suicide, while of his two sisters one
was killed by the kick of horse and
the other by blow received from a
falling scaffold. -.
Jean Adnet had six children, four
sons and two daughters. Of these the
latter persisted through the overturn-
ing of pleasure boat, One of the
sons was stabbed in drunken brawl
another was crushed to death by a
heavy wagon, while the remaining
two, who emigrated to America, were
slain in 1891 while fighting for Bal
maceda against congressists.-Stray

HIS DREAM n FADED D
Soldiers View Of Pure Delight
Abruptly Dissipated.
OFFICER Of the Day Had His Own
Ideas Concerning the Wine
Cellar and the American
Fighting Man.

How would you like to have six
prisoners, whom you were guarding
ana who apparently had no means of
escape, suddenly disappear from sight,
and to all appearances from the face
of the earth?
Such was the experience Of a Sew
enth lnfantryman on guard not long
ago.
according to the guards own story,
ne was in charge of six prisoners who
were digging hole near the rear of
the Liberty hall at Andernach. On
three sides were walls of such height
mat 1t would be impossible for the
prisoners to scale them. On the re-
naming side was the guard, bayonet
liked and ever on the alert for disor-
ders among his charges.
For an instant" said the guard, 81
glanced away from my prisoners.
When | again looked in their direction
they were gone. For few minutes
was almost paralyzed l began to
think had lost my mind or that
nightly recreation in the wirtschafts
had permanently affected my eyesight
| knew they couldn't get over the
walls, l was sure that they had not
passed me, and yet in the fraction of
second they had disappeared from
sight"
Visions of serving the sentences of
the six fugitives flashed through the
mind of the guard. Then he decided
that some action must be taken, and
taken Immediately. He rushed to the
edge of the hole and peered into its
depths. At first he found no clew to
the mystery. Then in one corner" of
the excavation he saw few loose
bricks and an opening into what
seemed to be an underground passage
way. With one jump he reached this
opening, and showing his gun and bay
onet ahead of him, he crowded his
way along a narrow brick-lined tun-
nell. few steps along this and he
found himself in a large cellar, amply
stocked with ancient vintages from
the vineyards along the Rhine.
Seated on the wine casks, and evil
IDENTIFY very much at ease, sat the six
prisoners, smiling at the discontinue
of their guardian. .. W..
With his charges once more in hand
the mind of the infantryman instant
ly formulated a plan. Hurrying the
"willful six back into the daylight,
he began to brick up the entrance to
the discovery with plan for future
reference.
Just then the officer of the day
came on the scene. ..

Cigarette TRinus,

AriStocratic women in London arc
wearing gem ring cigarette holders.
It's the very latest wrinkle. The rings
are advertised in British magazines
as made by his majesty's jeweler. You
have to be aristocratic or plutocratic
to wear one. because they cost from
$3.50 to $500 apiece.
The rings are gold eor platinum, set
with precious stones. You press a
tiny catch or fhe side and up springs
dainty metal finger with a circlet at
the end through which YOU insert Your
cigarette and then puff away. The
women wear the rings on their fora
fingers The 1fofder. according to the
advertisements, prevents nicotine
from coloring the fingers. SO far the
rings haven't reached this country.
hut American Jewellers expect The fad
will soon appear on this side of the
water. s

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves

so the food and drink taken day after

NC-4 Will Visit
 Arkansas Points
 During the Month

The U. s. Navy's famous sea plane l NC-4, largest plane in the world ana first to cross the Atlantic ocean, | which is now making tour of the eastern coast and Mississippi rivey and tributaries in the interest of the recruiting service, will be in Helena Nov. 29 to Dec. 1, and in Arkansas City Dec.1 to Dec. 8.
 The mammoth transatlantic flier is in personal command of Lieut. Con-, Albert c. Read and original crew that successfully piloted her achoss the ocean in her epoch making flight.
 Starting at Portland, Me-, the flo- tilla, which comprises the NC-4 and the destroyer Isabel, have made stops at all important cities on the east coast and have been given tremen- dous receptions in all cities visited. The NC-4 comes to Helena and Arkansas City exactly intact as when she made the now historical flight. At the termination of the flight across the ocean she was dismantled and returned to the United States and placed on exhibition in Grand Central Park, New York City, where hundreds of thousands of persons viewed her. She was then assembled at Rockaway Beach, Long Island, N. Y., and started the recruiting tour on Sept. 21, at Portland, Maine.
 Not only is the NC-4 the first heav- , fer than air craft to cross the Allan tic, but she is the largest sea-plane ever constructed and of a purely American design. She has a wing spread of 126 feet, length over all 68 feet, with 45 foot hull. With out crew, fuel or equipment she weighs eight tons and loaded with fuel and manned ready for flight, her total weight is fourteen tons. Her maximum speed is ninety-three miles per hour, and she has carried as many as fifty passengers at one time.

A VERY WELCOME STUDENT.

In expressing a hope to finish his education in this country, Prince Leo pold of Belgium has paid tribute to the democracy of America, so finely manifested to the world in our schools and colleges. That Prince Leopold would receive the most cor dial welcome from any American uni versity he chooses to enter, it is need less to say. The friendship between Belgium and America, made indi5- soluble during the world war, assures to the Belgian prince the enjoyment of every American hospitality throughout his stay in one of our uni versailles.
 Heretofore American familiarity with European schools and colleges has been far wider than European acouaintance with our educational in stitutions. Americans, in considera- ble numbers have entered each year the universities of England, France and Germany. After the armistlce, some 5000 officers and enlisted men of the American Expeditionary Forces spent four months in British and French universities. The Unltei States, as result of the war, Is rec- ognized as being leader, not alone in material achievements, but also in the realm of intellectual endeavo". The rulers of Europe may find much to inspire them in our public schools, colleges and technical schools. Roy alty will be wise to take the lead in this respect, by intrusting some of its sons to American colleges. Both America and Europe will gain by a move that will greatly facilitate mH- tual understanding between the old and the new worlds. A year spent by Prince Leopold at Harvard, Yale or any other American university will l." a prime factor in eliminating the causes that lead to wars between na- tions.-Boston Transcript.
