What the Victory Means.

This contest which was won by Mr..
Rossi was inaugurated by the Aetna
company following announcement by
Vice President Remington early last
year that Aetna would go over the top
with an increase of 25 per cent for the
year i'm casualty and surety insurance.
IN order to reach that goal an "Over-
the Top" campaign was arranged for
the months of October, November and
December. which meant a contest for
new business among the hundreds of
general agents of the Aetna company
throughout the United States. Mr..
Rossi went into the contest with his
energy and enthusiasm,
at the same time knowing that he had
as friendly competitors some of the
most accomplished insurance men in
the United States and most of them
probably having far more populous
fields in which to develop business.
Under these circumstances the win
ming Of first place by Mr. Rossi is a
notable achievement. and is fine tes-
timonial to his ability and enterprise

The American friends of the Prince
of Wales have read with delight the
last few days Of his refusal to leave
Paris and go back to the. more or
less drab existence of London where
he is always under the watchful eye
of q somewhat mid-Victorian mother
and a more or less disputed father.
The little prince is not a chip OF the
old block he goes back an entire
generation to the much loved Edward
VII, who in his younger days as
prince of Wales led much the same
sort of helter-skelter care-free life
that the little prince is living today.
Paris was the favorite playground
of. Edward and whenever he turned
up missing at Windsor, at Bucking-
ham, or at st. James, it always was
case of "eherchez lie Paris" There
are many memories of Edward VII
TO be encountered in Paris, among
them one of the larger hotels which
bears his name and is called by the
Parisians. "Edouar' Sett," TO give the
pronunciation rather than the spell
ing. King George has been rather
solemn soul as a monarch, very much
married and all that sort of thing,
but nevertheless there is a twinkle in
his eye at times which suggests some
thing Of his pleasure-loving father and
which has been handed on in greater
degree to his princeling son.
The stories coming from Paris OF
late hours and of dancing parties re-
call an incident of the Prince OF
Wales visit to Washington in 100.
At that time he was under much re-
straint. travelling officially in his
"proper person" and not incognito as
he happily has been in Paris. So 1t
was arranged that the Prince should
call upon President Wilson. Mr.. Will
son was confined to.his bed at the
time and SO the little heir to the Brit
ish throne was shown directly into
the sick room. There was no trace
of embarrassment on either side and
soon the conversation between the
President and the beir-apparc.t drift
cd into q semi-persenal and humor-
Gus vein. Finally the President turned
TO the prince and said:
"Do you know that the room in
which you are at this moment was
the one occupied by your grandfather
when ne visited Washington as Prince
of Wales?"
The prince seemed much impressed.
The President went on:
And there is legend here at the
White House that on one night your
distinguished grandparent, who had
been quite .fed-up with all the Off
cial attention and official guarding
bestowed upon him escaped by one
of the windows of this room, went
downtown and had real night of
it"
The little prince grinned with evil
dent satisfaction. Then he gave Mr..
Wilson q real surprise:
please. Mr.. Wilson" he said with
that Edwardish twinkle in his eye.
may 1 ask just which window it
was?"
And he looked wistfully about the
room.

Philadelphia, april 1S.-Enter: A
matronly swashbuckler.
Exit: A tired old woman OF 80
gray haired, plump and motherly.
She has tasted the melodrama Of
romantic intrigue, SO long reserved
for youth.
And now Mrs. Anna Beswick faces
the law and is glad it's over.
The imagination pictures woman
of her years reading bedtime stories
to the younger of her nine living chill
dren-there were Is in all. The
illusion Of outward appearance would
indicate woman, in the quiet retire
ment of so, resigned to the silver in
roads upon the once deep-bronze OF
her hair.
But such are the incongruities Of
police charges. confessions and ale
cations that she is shown instead
with blackmailers upon her trail,
and with bigamy, swindle and forgery
upon her conscience.
Juggling Two Lives.
At the very hour that the bedtime
stories should have been read Mrs.
Beswick is pictured craftily finding
a reason for leaving one husband.
Samuel f. Beswick. carpenter Of
63, to join husband No. 2, William G.
Martin, wealthy vice president Of a
bank.
In the juggling Of two lives she
was for a time most adept. thanks
to skillfully manipulated tales that
would have done credit TO the young
and beautiful adventures of the film
stories.
To every juggler comes a day when
the hands fail-and so with Mrs.
Beswick.
1t was desperation, however. and
not clumsiness, that ended Mrs. Bes-
wics's dexterous handling of an al
legged "dual life"
The secret of her double matrimony
fell into the hands of certain men Of
easy conscience, she claims, who used
their knowledge to extort money from
her.

New York, April 1870 far as hats
are concerned this is a go-as-you-

Brims may turn up or down or be-
slashed; the trimmings may be flow

four-and frequently are all four
with a jeweled ornament added for
good measure. Only one fixed rule
exists: Don't, for PHYS sake, wear 'em
on the back of your head.
Low over the forehead is proper.
Down over the eyebrows is even bet
ter. And both of these, with a elant
athwart one ear and part of the cheek
is best of all.

err. the .sprosecutor" of the Daugherty
committee, in his home state OF Mon
tana, Senator Borah himself was
once under indictment at a time of
public hysteria, and had to suffer
the inconvenience of public trial
which the federal prosecutors tried to
stretch out over several weeks, and
which resulted in a verdict of not
guilty as quickly as the jury could
leave the box and return again.
This was away back in 1901, just
after Mr.. Borah had been elected TO
the Senate for thefirst time, and also
when he was acting as chief prosecu,

for conspiracy in connection with the
murder of Governor Steunenberg OF
Idaho as u part of the reign OF ter
ror started by the miners during the
Cripple Greek strikes.
President Roosevelt had been max
ing a great drive on the land frauds
prosecutions. Billy Burns, who has
been a storm center of the Daugherty
investigation and who sent agents out
TO Montana to help in the indictment
of Senator Wheeler, conducted most
of the land fraud cases as special
agent in the Department of the In
terror. He was not in on the Borah
case, however. Mr.. Borah was the
attorney for a big lumber company
in Idaho and on the flimsiest sort OF
pretext an Indictment was obtained
against him. 1t always was claimed
that political enemies were response

came off, and the writer was there as
a reporter, the evidence was almost
criminally insufficient, SO much so,
in fact, that after listening to il for
ten days or more, the presiding judge
announced that nothing had been
shown in any way to connect Sena-
tor Borah with the alleged frauds.
Thus if it should prove that po-
litical enmity is behind the Wheeler
indictment, as friends of the senator
claim, Senator Borah, of all persons,
will have sympathy with the accused
man.
Senator Moses Of New Hampshire,
says the Investigations at Washing
ton remind him of his old friend,
Henry Hayward, back home. Every
spring, it seems, old Henry gets out
and looks at Mount Washington.
Then be prognosticates the weather
thus:
well. they amt going to be no
warm weather till the snow melts on
the mountain. and the snow amt go
ing to melt on the mountain till it
gets TO be warm weather." In other
words, the senator believes the inves-
legations won't stop until they "get
something" and when they "get some
thing" they won't stop.
