Stories That Recall Others
Fast Workers.

They were. in a restaurant-a short and very bashful young man and a gay young fapper several inches taller than her escort.
 What fine looking fellow" he ex- claimed, as big bronzed giant strode past.
 Well, don't like them so big" she replied.
 Just then the young man looked down and saw that she had eaten all the shrimp salad that had been on her plate ''Will you have a little shriinp?" he asked.
 "O., Bill, you know I will,,' she cried. o, Bill, you may not be as big, but you sure are fast worker He hasn't recovered his composure yet.
 Outwitted the Policeman. He had parked his auto along the curbing and failed to remove the ignition key A policeman standing nearby with note book in hand chided him for his carelessness.
 That is an invitation to theft said the policeman, land especially when they steal them from under your eyes,
 That so?" the man exclaimed I. Yes" the patrolnan said, T am look ing for bicycle thief right now. This bicycle" He paused to look around.
 Well, I'll be hanged-it's gone. I have been waiting here two hours to land that bird and to think he got away with that wheel while I was looking for him.

becanse of the decision which has just been rendered by 3 court in that coun- try which appears to knock the props out from under that long maintained policy in that country of keeping gEk in what amounted to not muSh more than slavery.
 Geisha girls are known far beyond the borders of Japan. It has been the practice in that country for parents to enter into a contract with certain mas ters whereby ,their daughters were ap- prenticed to them, where it was neces- sary for them to remain until such time as they had carried out the provisions of the contract or until they had earn tions.f It didn't necessarily involve an immoral life but the girls were sur- posed to make merry the eating or drinking places where they happened to be stationed.
 It was when one of the girls had be. come engaged to young man without wealth and because of it was consid. cred to be nesiecting the rich patron: of her master, that tho master threat, ened her and followed 1t up by suing her parents for a breach of contract Tine verdict of the court was that til, contract was non enforceable hecaus, O. the slavelike character of t..

GREAT BRITAIN DECLINES.

When the effort was made by this government to get Great Britain to agree to the searching of its vessels lhat came within twelve miles of the coast of the Untted States, in order hat this government might have great CT success in breaking up the rum smuggling that Is going on, there was DO feeling Of assurance that it would bo granted. It is the three-mile line lhat is internationally recognized as the territorial limit of nation and beyond that Is regarded as the high seas.
 When this country declares for pro- hlbition it has the authority to enforce within the three-mile limit. Beyond lhat, however. it seems impossible to make the prohibition amendment ap- ply and when Great Britain declines 70 extend Che limit 1t is no more than lhere was reassn Go expect, since prohi- ailon is not in accord with British gleWs and -it has no reason for aiding the enforcement of the laws of this country. especially when such conflicts 2llh the rights of British subjects on tho high seas There is a point beyond HHANH-A HA WNAAaNHa 4A Ne4lilANL NrOnellN KO and that IS to restrict the rights of its own subjects. Even in taking such a view it does not go on record as toler- uins the rum runners who operate Eithout clearance papers. but when it fivcs assurance that 1t will do what il san to check the evil of false clearance papers it goes about as far as might se expected.
 Thus it becomes evident that the problem of rum running is one which llis country must deal with. It is it's == lhat Is in question, and it is it's law ailat is being violated and not British 1r an international law. The business Of smugglinr has developed to large proportions and it remains for this gov srrment to bS it's own prohibition en- iorcrment officer. Great Britain hasn't any more interest in aiding prohibition In this country than the buyer of boot. 'cE whskcy has in helping the arres he fellow who sells it to him.

LEAVES.

These are the days when more than the usual amount of attention needs to be devoted to the leaves. This doesn | mean those on the trees which are SD gslily colored, but those which have fallen and are furnishing; work not only for the householders, and the employees of the city, but which are serving as a menace to those are not careful in the burning of them or those who fail to give consideration to the slippery character which they take on when wet or frosty.
 Leaves make bad rails for the trolley cars but wet leaves are so much worse that there is no comparison. Wet leaves make it necessary to .roceed slowly or trouble is liable. to resalt. Those who walk know what is likely to be the result if there isn't a disposition to watch your step when wet leaves are in the path, and it is quite tte same difficulty that confronts the driver of an automobile
 As long as leaves continue to figure on the walks and streets they call for the exercise of greater care by pedes- trians or vehicle drivers. We cannot have our beautiful shade trees with put having the leaves to a greater or less degree. They do not present an intel- erable situation by any means but they do call for more care on the part oi those who must consider the treacher. ous condition caused by the eoubina, tion of leaves and moisture.
 It would be great for the land if al leaves could go into a compact heap but that being impossible the tomlnor practice of burning them likewise call. for care both for the protection of prop erty and the safety of those who art inclined to play about such fires.

IN THE PUBLIC EYE

Signor Giovanni Giolitti, who is enilating the example of Lloyd George and other European statesmen in publishing his memoirs. has had a political career extending over 40 years and has been five times premier of Italy. He was the first Italian prime minister who sprang from tAe ranks of the civil service Unlike most politicians, he did not enter parliament until he was 40. He held his first cab inet post in 1889, and in 1S92, became premier for the first time For if teen years he dominated Italy, holding the premiership for an aggregate period longer than Cavour. In 1913 he rendered an immense service to the world by refusing to join Austria in attacking Serbia. Owing to a consti- : tutional dislike for wars he opposed the entry of Italy into the European struggle, and during the war he re- mained in retirement. Upon his re- turn to power in 1920, he won conf dence of the Allies, and proved that he is not easily extinguished.

Las Hurdes.


 When Madrid newspapers said that King Alfonso had gone to spain's rs motest region the American reader might well guess that he contemplated a trip to Fernando Pc, or at least to Rio de Orc.
 Remote enough, but not nearly so far away is the region referred to, Las Hurdles, in very literal sense the wild west of Spain. according to a bulletin from the National Geographic Society Washington, D. C.. headquarters.
 ''Cleaver-like, the Sierra de Gotos and the Sierra de Gredos split off the tree less plain of Salamanca from the cattle breeding caceres plateau says tlia bulletin. Atop the former crest is Las Hurdles, overlooking Portugal to the l west, Salamarca's battlefields and uni versity city to the north, and the Span ish Texas-land of Caceres, famed fo! sheep and red sausages, to the south Just as. the sea sets off the Scillys, and the Rhone delta carves out Camargue so the hills insuiate Las Hurdles.
