FIND LITTLE JOY IN MANTUA
American Soldiers In Italian City Can
not Be Accused of Indulging
In Wild Revels.
oliintun, lite metropolis of the prov
ince, Is ihe center of the territory
which encircles It In every direction.
Hlllier flock the country folk from us
far as five or six kilometers nwny, to
gaze at the vino and stand around In
the middle of the street, impeding the
progress of the trolley car.
Equally fascinating lo the American
soldier is this clly, Willi Its car track.
Its air of cordial welcome, and Its In
salubrious climate, all of which com
bine to make him think more of the
old home town than he did before he
came here, says a wrller in Italy Am
bulance Service News. It is not dif
ficult to Bud things to do. for one mny
always spend quite a while figuring
out when he last sow the sun, or when
he will see It again. And then one
may also look at the hike.
But It Is nt night that Mantua dis
closes its true nature. With an elec
tric light gleaming on every fourth
block, and the comrndely mist always
with you, you can start out for a wild
evening. There are plenty of places
to go all cafes. Variety is supplied
by ordering beer In one place and wine
in the next, until In a llnal burst of
hilarity you end up with cnffe-lntte
(the nadir of recklessness). By that
time it Is 10:30, the shutters are up,
the waiter Jingles a pocketful of cen
ti'sslml and looks bored, the last pa
tron has departed and the girl behind
the bar seems to wonder what secret
sorrow keeps you from home. So you
depart via the back door, harking to
your footprints echoing upon the still
night air. The carablnlerl look nt you
I suspiciously, n cat runs across the
black street, nnd you are all, all alone
In the wicked city. You ynwn nnd go
back to bed, filled with excitement
and beer. One night nVurer home.
Mantua has many attractive fea
tures, but the host one. Is tho ten
o'clock train to Milan.
WAS DICKENS' OFFICE BOY
And All He Remembers of Great Au
thor Is the Peculiar Style of
His Clothes.
The perseverance with which the
unimportant lingers In memory is Il
lustrated by the sum total of what the
veteran porter who lately retired from
his post at Temple (iate, London, can
now recall about Charles Dickens.
Back 1u the sixties this man, It Is said,
was ortlce boy for the author, then
editing "All the Year Round." All he
remembers is that Dickens wirre a
"black velvet coat with big smoked
pearl buttons, and n queer wulstcoat,
and trousers of shepherd's plnld, the
biggest check yon ever saw, and a
great big deerstalker hat, as they
called them, and his hair all hanging
down, wiry like." Also that once upon
a time somebody nsked him, "Is that
a showman ?" And ho answered,
"That's the great Charles Dickens."
A vivid picture, and this Is probably
why, plaid trousers and all. It still
sticks in the former ollice boy's mem
ory; but one wishes he could now re
call some of the other things he must
have observed In his remarkable chief.
"Passing" for Insurance.
A IMiitiulclplilii physician. Doctor
flnlllnnl, vl has examined tznmt
nmnhers of men fm life Insurance coin
panics, Informs nto that "the popular
styles In physique hnvo chanued,"
Oirant writes In tho Philadelphia
I'ress.
When I nslted lilin to elucidate, he
replied :
"Not so lone aco life Insurance com
panies made a crent ado and scanned
with care all applicants who were un
derweight. Now underweight la pass
ed over as of little consequence, while
nverwekht Is reckoned as the stum
iding block."
In other words, the thin man was
once regarded as n poor risk, wherens
now he Is preferred to the stout man
When I asked the doctor to tell me
(he reason for this switch around In
the popularity of the two types of tho
male form divine, he said tuberculosis,
once the dread of the thin hinn, has
heen far outclassed In fatality by other
organic diseases, especially of the
heart, which are apt to affect the more
rotund. "
Truly, every dog has Ills day.
What Did He Mean?
The minister had eaten a very good
dinner and was netting ready to leave
for a lone time. lie happened to
zlance nt the eighteen-year-old daugh
ter. "Well, well." he lauched. "I sup
pose that pretty soon I'll he coming
hack to marry this young woman to
'ne of the Interesting joung men of
the congregation."
The Irrepressible elght-year old son
j spoke up :
t "Oh. no, yon won't," he offered.
"Mary Is truing to he an old bachelor."
The family's laugh told him that he
! (mil used the wrong word. So straight
j way ho started to make It right.
I "I mean an old witch." he asserted
more positively than before.
About Eggs,
Ontario, Canada, now has nn egg
"circle." This egc circle has becnor
gn nixed for the purpose of eliminating
the wholesaler and middleman. Its
Idea Is specifically to prevent any per
son or persons coming between the
farmer's supply of eges and the con
sumer. More and more os tho cold
storage warehouse has come between
the consumer nnd his ec. has the con
punier suffered from the separation.
"Most every one" will wish the egg
circle well.
ALL FEARED MOON
Soldiers Regarded Orb of Night
as Their Enemy.
Lighted Roads on Which They Were
Moving, and Thu Cave Enemy
Gunner a Chance to Deal
Out Death.
'The war Is ended ; Ihe battlefields
are helng cleared of their debris; the
rusty wire Is being rolled up. The
nights can be spent In beds, yet the
men of the One Hundred and Nine
teenth field artillery even now look nt
the sky with dread," says L. L. Ste
venson In the Detroit News.
, "The battlefields nre not distant.
Nor ore the days distant when the
moonlight was a menace to the One
Hundred and Nineteenth.
"We were riding back from Toul, ft
little company of Detroit men, who
had celebrated a birthday annlversnry
In that old, walled city. We had been
discussing many things, principal of
which was the homecoming, plans for
the future and those whom we wished
were with us. Then the moon swung
'over those forts on the hill, concealed
no longer, and fell a silence over the
veterans.
"They seemed to draw into them
selves. Came a loud report and the
artillerymen half rose In their seats.
It was only a rear tire, yet the effect
on keyed-up nerves was the same as
though the blowout had been the de
tonation of that which had dropped
from the sky.
"And simultaneously all damned Ihe
moon, as though that Inoffensive orb
had been the cause.
"Then they told me of those nights
marching along the highways help
less; Jerry sweeping' low and spray
Mng lead at them from Ihe machine
guns, of bombs that were silent until
they spoke In accents of death. They
spoke also of the night when Buck
was killed, when Chaplain William A.
Atkinson, now quite recovered, lay In
a pool of blood; when others with
whom I had eaten and slept and camp
ed up at Grayling, had fathomed Ihe
great mystery.
"It seemed to be a relief to thein,
a lifting of the weight, and I said noth
ing though all the beauty of the night
had departed. Strange scenes danced
about my eyes; the gaunt, unfinished
military hospital on the left was ft
gray ghost ; those winking lights
gleaming now, but not long ago bad
they shone they would lme been an
Invitation to death were far away
(hires, the deserted ammunition dump
was animated with sweat lug figures.
"It was as though n weight had
heen lifted when we entered Mauvages.
Clear and distinct In the bright light
stood a sentry, a stalwart fellow, his
naturally large build magnified In the
silver beams until he was a giant. The
way he carried himself, the fit of his
uniform, told that he was n veteran.
"And he was shaking his fist ut the
moon !"
Reims Cathedral. ' '
Ttchns cntlicilrnl Is tn be rebuilt, or
rcillu-r restored, for France has taken
si-ennd thought nnd decided that such
restoration Is far more desirable for
the future than tt splendid structure,
wrecked by wnr nnd left to stand In
melancholy demolition as n ierietual
reminder of Us own ileslnielion. It Is
even said that "the cold crny of Its
masoiyy has turned under lire nnd
llaine to delicate rose nnd ncher tints
that will only add to the beauty of the
reluillded church." The plans for the
re-iloratlnn are belns made under the
direction of Mr. Deueiii, architect of
the French historical monuments, nnd
the llrst practical steps have been tnk

The HlQh Coet of Economy.
F.conomy Is something practiced by
people who don't have to economize.
Mrs. Wealthy buys eggs by the doz
ens nnd puts them down In water
glass. Mrs. Poor never could afford
more than one dozen eggs nt one time
regardless of price.
Mrs. Wealthy buys flour nnd sugar
by the barrel at a great saving. Mrs.
Poor buys hers by the pound and It Is
expensive.
Mrs. Wealthy takes advantage of the
sales nnd gets real bargains in fur
niture, shoes and clothes. Mrs. Poor
can only look In the dispiny windows
longingly.
In short, Mrs. Wenlthy ues her head
where Mrs. Poor must use her hus
band's salary.
It is a pathetic fact that It takes
money to economize. G. W. Onhrlel

RABBIT SWIMS AND FIGHTS?
San Francisco Park Policeman's R:
port Leaves Old Theory Com
pletely High and Dry. . i
One by one the old theories are re
vised or upset. There In a widespread
tradition, bucked by generations of ob
servation, that a rabbit can neither
Mvlm nor fight. Uut along cornea Ser
geant McOeo of the San Francisco
park police with a bombshell and when
the noise aud smoke has cleared tiway
the genu of n new theory Is left, even
thougH a hitherto unknown fact has
According to McUce, quoted by thel
San Francisco Chronicle, a plain,"
everyday cottontail has suddenly ap
peared on the Island In Stow lake and
driven everything else away. Never
beforo lias u rabbit been seen on the
Island, which Is separated from the
mainland at Its nearest point by fifty
yards of water.
"Albert Chaciiuctte, guardian of the
lake nnd Its waterfowl, was the first
person to discover the presence of the
rabbit on the Island," said Sergeant
SIcGee In his report. "From the niaiu
lund shore he saw It In furious combat
with a big setting brunt. The battle
ended in the bird being driven Into the
water and swimming, with loud
squawks of dismay and protest, to the
mainland. Every breeding niudhen,
goose and duck wns similarly assailed
und e.tpelled, Chncquette says, leaving
the rabbit In undisputed possession of
the Island.
"Chucquette," SlcOee's report con
tinues, "has a theory that the rabbit's
new-found pugnacity may be due to its
browsing too freely on the leaves of
the Juniper bushes that grow thickly
nn the Island. Ills Idea is that the
lenves fermented In the niilmul's stom
ach, creating gin, which, as anyone
knows who has tried It, might uiuke a
rabbit feel brave enough to tickle a
tiger's nose and give lilm courage to
attempt the swimming of the Golden
Gnte."
Anyway, the rabbit's on the Island'
and nobody bus admitted helping hlin
to get there. Also, the waterfowl that
usually breed there at this time of
year are gone. There mny be no con
nection, but there's a mystery In It all
that nobody soems to lie uble to ex
plain. Farmers' Exchanges Successful. V

Described in Detail.
I think my most embarrassing mo
ment was when I wns thirteen year
old. My father telephoned that he had.
left a puckagc for me at the hardware
store two blocks nwny and that I
should cull for It, that he had described
me to the manager and that I would
have no trouble getting It.
I went to the store nnd a little old
man came and looked at me over his,
glasses and said decidedly: "Well,:
you're the one for that package, all'
right, all right."
He wns so decided that I became
curious and asked: "How did you
know me so well?"
He said: "Well, little lady, your dndj
left this package an' he soys. 'She'a1
a homely little kid with a snub nose,'
so I knew you right off."
Every one In the store laughed but
me. Exchange.

Lime Shown toBe Beneficial.
In France the government once
elnsslfled soldiers according to their
birthplace. It was found that those
reared In regions where the soil was
rich In lime were nearly an Inch and
a half taller than those from regions
where the soils were poor In lime,
and were also stronger and healthier.
