DOES “RESIDENCE”
ALSO MEAN “HOME”
(By International News Service)
NEW BEDFORD, Mass., April 14.
—Tr¢ fine distinction between the
meanings of “residence” and “home”
was the principle involved in the
trial of Eugene H. Vien, millionaire
proprietor of several rotels, accused
of renting rooms to transients with
out requiring them to write their
adresses in the register. |
His attorneys argued that the
guests’ “residences’ were the cities
where they lived.
Special Judge James P. Doran,
however, held with the policemen
that the street addresses were neces
sary, and finding Vien guilty, fined
him $lOO. Vien appealed.

General -ldea That Wage Struggle on
a Large Scale Is About to
Be Inaugurated.
All signs point to the colliery indus

in a wage struggle on a large scale,
in the British Isles, There will be
a new development soon following
upon the detailed inquiries by both
parties in the wage negotiations to dis
cover what the general body of both
owners and miners desire.
In the meetings in the various coal
fields, the miners have declared for a
new standard wage, embodying nearly
all present earnings, while the owners
declare that, unless wages are sub
stantially reduced, many collieries must
close. The attitude of the miners will
be decided at a coming national con
ference, and in the subsequefit re
newed negotiations a decisive stage
will be reached. A struggle is regard
ed as almost certain, and the fact that
many colliery owners, especially in
South Wales, are giving notice to
terniinate contracts in fqurteen days
8o that thereafter the mines may be
closed at one day’s notice, 1s regarded
as an ominous portent, |

. “BILLY'S DIARY” |
—_—
:By AGNES GRAHAM BROGAN,
B T@:'lS—Z-X, Western I(}éwspaper Union.)
Jasmine came into the clearing
where the old spring house stood, and
paused lost in conflicting emotion.
Memories came to her across the
years, memories of tender sweetness,
memories of desolation. It was here
that she had spent many happy hours
in her childhood, here that great lone
liness had reclaimed her, And now
that she had come back for a view
of the place, she was still both sorry
and glad.
Down the road farther lay the old
mansion that had been Jasmine’s
home and the home of her grandpar
ents. It was there that her young
mother, passing out of life as her
child came into it, bequeathed her in
fant orphaned daughter to great Aunt
Millicent’s care—the young mother
who had named her baby Jasmine,
her “little white flower.”
Aunt Mellicent’s slender income,
never sufficient for the upkeep of the
great old home, expired with her
death, and there had been little money
left to Jasmine after paying the mort
gages. So, all untrained, the girl
went out into the busy world to earn
her livelihood—and this was her first
home-coming. It was an advertise
ment concerning the “White Inn” for
summer guests which caught Jas
mine’s eye in the city paper. 'T'he
White Inn, as pictured there, was he:
own lost homestead. So Jasmine
packing hastily, went out to spenc
her hard-earned two weeks’ vacatior
in the altered place. The hermit’s
dwelling on the spot where the old
springhouse had been, was a topic of
never-failing interest to White Inn
guests. For the hermit, it was said
frequented his loneiy cabin every sum
mer, living there in solitary exile
Each guest at one time or another
made a trip up the wooded way tc
see him in his garden. And the her
mit, who was young and good look:
ing, in a frowningly, forbidding man
ner, persistently ignored them one anc
all. Te dressed in khaki, as a moderr
hermit should, and cooked his owr
food—if not exactly over a kettle, a
least on an oil stove. Jasmine, had
not traveled over the bramble patk
out of curiosity to see him, but tc
view instead the old spring house
And as she sat on the hermit's garder
bench, she recalled with a smile whiecl
brought forth a lately desponden’
dimple, a former visit of hers to this
self same place in a faraway time
She had gone to the spring house t(‘
be freed from Aunt Mellicent's sterr |
observance, a lonely girl without play
mate or friend, and she had come
forth as “Jim,” chosen companion of
the nicest boy in the world; and this
is how it happened. Jasmine, upor
entering the spring house, had found
lying upward, a closely written little
book. On its bright red cover was the
word “Diary,” and on the very firs
page was inscribed in boyish letter
ing—“Billy—His Book.” Before the
little girl in the cambric frock real
ized what she was doing, she had reac
two complete pages of the “Diary.’
It was wildly interesting; her blut
eyves widened over the marvelous ad
ventures: of Billy, in “His Book,” and
she looked up dazedly when an angry
voice roused her.
“Nervy!” greeted the voice, “whal
do you mean by reading my writing?
Jasmine was unafraid, she ever
clnspéd the red book closer in de
flance. “I didn’t mean to start,” she
calmly told the indignant boy befory
her, “but when I started, I couldn’l
stop. It's all so splendid. I'm going
to finish the story.” : 1
The boy’s anger vanished. |
“To think that all those wondm'fu‘!
things. happened to just a boy like |
you!” Jasmine explained. ‘
And when at the end of a compan
ionably long, happy summer, Billy
went away to school, and to college
and perhaps never to return, Jasmine
was given the little red bhook to keej
as a lasting memento of their joyous
times together. She still kept §t. Anc
now, to make the memory of those
past enchanted days complete Jasmine
drew the little book from her bag anc
sat smiling over it's pages. It was |
no sound which made her glance np,‘
but just the consciousness of a pres
enee near, :
The hermit was standing behind the
bench, reading over Jasmine's shoul
der, the boyish secrawl. When thei
eves met, involuntarily both smiled,.
Then the man’s hand went out tc
her,
“You! the hermit of spring house!
The man nodded.
With quick stride he entered the
cabin, and returning put into Jas
mine's hand a book of familiar cover
It was one of the season’s best sellers
Jasmine had seen it displayed. The
author reéached over suddenly to in
seribe something on the fly-leaf—*Bil.
ly,” he wrote—“ His Book.” Beneat}t
the book’s title was printed the au
thor's full name, William Chalmers
When Jasmine's two glorious weeks
were at an end, very regretfully she
carried the book” back to the spring
Im!lso.
“It is a wonderful romance,” she
told him sighing.
The hermit was locking the spring
house door. ! "
“I am going with you,” he remarked,
happily, *“to the city—for you see
Jasmine, my own white flower, I am
going to ask you there, to help me ir
the building of a lasting romance—
of our own.”

Nickel Highly Prized Metal,
Nickel is regarded as one of the most
useful metals, though It lacks the
prestige of silver and gold. It is
bright and hard and noncorrosive and
in combination with iron it has been
in great demand for war equipment
and for bridges and other structural
work :
OLD RAIL FENCE IS MJURKED
Too Wasteful for Modern Days, but It
Had Its Points of Real
Usefulness.
Among the once necessities of farm
life that reflected prodigality in the
use of valuable timber was the old rail
fence. Like many other aimost by
gones of rural life, its place in farm
wastefulness now is well established,
and yet it had its uses for which the
straight-line wire fence cannot qualify.
The old rail fence's serrated
stretches were the homes of small ani
mal life that now is rapidly disappear
ing. Around its timbers there grew
the uncultivated blackberry, with its
sister the raspberry, and among ity
recesses there thrived the elder, whose
fruit once was coveted pie material
and whose blossoms were the founda
tion for elderberry wine that matrons
served of a winter evening when the
neighbors gathered.
The rail fence, with its invariable
undergrowth, was the favorite protec
tion for Bob White in winter, and from
its top he sang in the warmer seasons.
Beneath, the little ground squirrel bur
rowed. From safe retreat he chattered
if some intruder came near to annoy
him as he was busily engaged in gath
ering his store of food for the snow
time.
To the harvest hand it afforded pro
tection at the end of the long row for
a brief respite and its corners formed
shaded nooks under which the water
jug might be kept.
And from what royal timber was
this old fence constructed! Black wal
nut logs, chestnut logs and the smooth
length of the ash tree were cleft by
numerous rail splitters for the “seven
high” fence that stood the storms of
decades. There was many a black
walnut rail whose timber would make
the manufacturer of gun stocks chortle
with satisfaction had he such a pres
ent supply of wood at his command.—

GOOD MATERIAL FOR BOILERS
Variety of Pumice Stone Is Coming
Into General Use in Japan—Has
Many Advantages,
“Koka Seki” is a variety of pumice
stone which, as far as vow kunown,
reports Vice Consul H. T. Goodier of
Yokohaina, is only found in the small
group of Niijima islands (New Is
lands), which lie oif the coast of the
Idzu . peninsula, about ninety miles
south of Tokyo. Though used in
Niijima froi ancient times as.a build
ing material, only comparatively re
cently has “Koka Seki” become known
connnercially in Japan proper. Be
cause of its durability, high tensile
strength and capability of resisting
1,300 degrees C. of heat, it is suit
able for boiler and furnace construc
tion as well as inner linings of safes
and the manufacture of ice chests.
As it is claimed, it can be easily cut,
will take a surface of paint or metal
plating, and as nails can be driven
in, it is thought that the uses of this
material will greatly increase. It is
however, in re-enforced concrete barge
building in Japan that it is best
known.
Maeterlinck Loses a Dog.
Maurice Maeterlinck has a special
weakness for animals in general and
for dogs in particular. He was greqt
ly distressed, therefore, when, the oth
er day, a gentle little Pekinese which
he .wned was bitten by Alaska, an {ll
mannered Eskimo dog, brought back
from America by the poet.
The little dog’s injury was severe,
affecting the eye, and M. Mueterlinck,
finding the animal’s sufferings insup
portable, called into consultation one
of the best eye specialists in Nice.
After a careful examination the phy
sician declared that an operation was
necessary. The four-footed patient,
however, unable to take an anesthetic,
died under the knife.
‘ Now for services rendered, the spe
}ciulist has charged M. Maeterlinck the
sum of 600 franes, which le maitre re
fuses to pay.. The physician has gone
to court with the matter.—irom Le

* New Goldfield in Africa.
Another goldfield has been discov
ered in Eastern Akim which promises
untold wealth, King Oforiatta, who
was educated on European lines, first
secured the passage of laws similar
to those adopted in South Africa to
protect the country from exploitation,
The king then proceeded with his in
vestigations, but meanwhile a coloni
al government survey party unex
pectedly discovered diamonds a year
ago. Oforiatta, after a year of re
search work, now claims that he has
discovered that gravel deposits which
have been worked for gold for cen
turies lies over a layer of clay, beneath
which is more gravel than that of the
top layer. Under his direction an area
exceeding an acre has been excavat
ed. The king states that he s satis
figd that the indications point to the
existence of huge goldfields.
