Now York. August 25.—In an artl-

published here in the current num¬

Democratic presidential candidate
says:
"A man who would succeed In busi¬
ness should begin at the bottom and
work toward.the top, which he may
reach if he masters every detail and
proves himself more skillful than th» g *

gle for Its ultimate control. The same
rule applies in politics.
"Wherever your home may be you
will find upon investigation, a chance
for helpfulness. In nearly* every
town, country and city government the
expense* are rapidly Increasing.
"Although for considerable portions
of the increase corresponding bene¬
fits are being received, the tendency
to waetefullness and extravagance is
not only marked, but it already threat¬

of Certaldo, the Italian town whore
Boccaccio was born and lived: “Their
women are handsome, ns they ought to
be, with green eyes, dusky skins, fair,
tangled hair. They carry themselves
bolt upright, like all mountaineers, but
with better reason than most, for their
figures are remarkable. The men slug
gay songs, are happy and free man¬

what I have never seen elsewhere In
all long Italy, a man stop and kiss a
girl in open street. No offense, either.
He was a baker who came—a floury
amorlno—saw and considered the bend
of her Industrious head and stooped
and*klssed her as she sat sewing at.her
door. Her lovers and acquaintances
about her saw nothing amiss, nor was
she at nil put out. After so flagrant an
achievement the madcap went a whole
progress of gallantry down the street,
none resenting his freedom. He danced
with one good wife, chucked another's
chin and lifted a third bodily into the
air, singing all the while.”

The result naturally is that too many

out any ambition to be useful to the
community in which to improve, seek
and obtain local executive offices as
well as those of a legislative charac¬

This Is to be seen on every hand, and
as a rule it Is not the fault of the local

years old, got Into deop water and
could not swim. His brother, who
was 13 years old, saw that the boy
was drowning and went to his rescue.
The drowning boy clasped both arms
around the neck of his brother, who
was trying to save" his life, and both
boys drowned.

strange as it may appear, when In oue

“Tartar” is • word which (brat an

tury the ndnda of students turned to
the ninth chapter of Revelation. The
Tatar invasion waa Interpreted as a ful¬
fill 111 cut of the prediction of the open¬
ing of the bottomless pit. A contempo¬
rary chronicler writes of “this detest¬
able aatanic people issuing forth like
demons let loose from Tsrtarua, so
that they are fitly named Tartari.”
