PARCEL If an American wants to go abroad on a cash capital of $500 there Is no law to prevent. When I started out with my friend Klllam, who was an artist Instead of a journalist and had $50 less capital as well, we took steerage on a steamer and planned to do Europe on foot and avoid all extravagance. As to bow we got along until we struck Greece and a certain event happened la of no great consequence. We tramped here and there, ate, slept and bad a fairly good time. From Athens we went on a tramp up the country, viewing tombs and cuius by the way, and after putting in two days at Marathon we started out one morning for a hamlet called HIs- trophus- After a long tramp I found a place to take a nap. At the end of two hours I was awakened by some one giving me a smart kick on the hip, and I roused up to see that we had been taken prison ers by four brigands. The fellows Bad come down off the mountains about' four miles away, having probably been notified by a messenger from the vil lage. I have many times read of the picturesque Greek brigands, but the four who gobbled us up that day must hnve gone out of the picturesque busi ness some weeks previous. They were a ragged, ugly lot. The leader spoke English fairly well. It was the leader who bad kicked me, which I have al ways taken as a compliment, aud as I sat up he saluted me and said: "My lord, you will please consider yourself a prisoner and come along without resistance." "Now, don't make any mistake on me," I replied. "If you are counting on capturing a rich Englishman you will get badly left, for I am an Amer ican, and a poor one at that As near as I can make out from this short range, you are brigands." "I am Roberto," he said as he la his hand on his heart aud bowed low. "Excuse me that I never heard of you before.. Tou are a brigand and In it for money, and this Is your band." "My lord Is correct" "Now, about this lord business. Let us have an understanding. Who do you take me for?" "An English lord, my lord.

It was thus that he got the money for his large bequests to science. New York Mail. Whan Freedom Shrieked. It is much to be feared that the great Pole, Kosciusko, Is known to most Americans simply from the line In a famous poem, "And Freedom shrieked when Kosciusko fell." One might suppose that the hero fell In battle. In fnct, .he died serenely In Switzerland at seventy-one after fall ing to maintain the Independence of Poland. His fall was political and mil itary, but not physical. It should be remembered that the great Pole was the most distinguished engineer officer In the armies command ed by Washington; that he fought and labored long and well for the patriot cause. It was he who laid out the de fenses at West Point which Benedict Arnold tried to betray to the British, and In a sense the Military academy is a monument to him, for he lived to see it started on its glorious career.

Some men beat their mus taches savagely back into their upper Hps. refusing them growth, shave them remorselessly once or twice a day and never let a hair of them see the light of day. Other men coax and cajole their mustaches to emerge, pet i them, pamper them, protect them and i view the resultant hirsute effects in the light of artistic achievements. But not all mustaches are artistic. Some are stubby, and some are scraggly, and some are simply unmowed hair. Now and again we encounter a work of su perior excellence, an accomplishment In mustache making, a feat In facial foliage.

You can have as much or as little illumination as you need and have the lamp just where you want it on the ceiling, wall or table. Although house wiring is now done without litter or disturbance to the household, one of the best times to make the installation is during the fall hoiisecleaning.
