STAIRCASE UNDERMINED Flooded Tiber Does Considerable Damage In Rome. Rome, Feb. 16. —The great staircase of 300 steps in Rome leading from the Trastevere station to the Monteverde section, a hilly quarter of the city, is threatening to collapse because of un dermining by the waters. Serious damages have'been detected In the Risorgimento bridge and all passage over the structure has been forbidden. Information from the upper reaches of the Tiber indicates a further rise in the flood water of a few inches, after which, unless there should come more rain, the waters undoubtedly will begin to go down. The Tiber reached a maximum height of flfty-seven feet. It was argued that the extraordinary rapidity of the current of the Tiber would serve very rapidly to reduce the flood stage. At several street crossings around the Vatican soldiers had built tempo rary wooden bridges. These with the passing of boats up and down the flooded thoroughfares completed the impression that a section of Venice had been brought up to Rome. Descriptive. "Is she homely?"

MITCHEL J ■I ■> 14 !■ -I' II FH 'I 1 4 ■> < t Mrs. Matilda Bobbins, a widow of fifty, who had buried four husbands, announced that she would give private lectures in the parlor of her home to young ladies on how to get husbands. A lecture would be given every Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. On the first afternoon a numeroui audience were gathered in the lectur er's parlor. Mrs. Bobbins spoke as follows: Young ladies, you have doubuess de rived your ideas as to woman's part in a courtship from novels, and that is the reason why you are not married. The heroine of a novel is usually so modest that she doesn't dare say her soul's her own. There's more accom- plished in this world in other fields be sides matrimony by assurance than modesty and more accomplished by management than by assurance. The best way to teacb is by example. Therefore I shall put this lecture in the form of a story. But it's a real story, not an invention. The heroine didn't sit round and look pretty. She was up and doing. That's what we must all be in this world if we want to get on. Do you suppose a young' fel low who wants a position whereby to start a fortune sits round and wait.- for it? No: he goes out and hunts fo; it. And when he gets it does he mod estly wait for somebody to tell bin to do things? Not if he wants to sin ceed. He does everything without l;e ing told and befpre it's wanted. That'.- the part of a young fellow starting on* to fix himself in the world, and yot young ladies should act on the sum principle. Now for my story of the way on young lady secured a husband. Her name was Jones, Sarah Jones just plain Sarah Jones, not Maltravei or Montmorency. like the heroines o novels, or Gwendolin or Jaquelin for first name. A girl doesn't need a h ? g sounding name to get a husband; sh needs something that I'm going to tc you about. Sarah Jones the day sh was eighteen sat down and did a jo of thinking. She wasn't long about ii for she was an acting girl, and wlies she had got her thinking done she act ed at once on her decision. That <li j cision was that her place was in ; homo as a wife and the mother o children. Sallie Jones didn't go at things blind | ly; she thought them out beforehand | She knew that she couldn't get mai ried if restricted to the society of girls So she joined a dancing class. Sin couldn't afford it. but she bad to af ford it. and whatever has to be dom is done if the party to do it is of tb< right stuff. She had her eye fixed o: that dancing class, and she without knowing where the money t< pay her way was to come from. Then were twenty young men members ant twenty-five girls. Miss Jones realized that there i> safety in numbers but for the man sh was after, not for her. She didn't £■ fooling about among the twenty men She picked out a steady young fellow j and made up her mind to land him His name was Abel Rogers. Nothing romantic about his name either Rogers didn't have anything excep' what he was getting together himself but he was frugal and a hard worker. The first thing Sallie did was to lei Abel Rogers understand that she liked him. She didn't pout when he danceo with some other girl more than with her or look troubled if he didn't danc< with her at all. She smiled on bin when he came back after a lack ol attention just as pleasantly as if hi hadn't neglected her. This sort of work has been called angling, and so it is. A skillful fisher man if a fish doesn't bite right ofi wouldn't think of trying to jerk tin hook into its gills, and when it does bite he doesn't try to haul it out of tin water all at once. Some fish can be caught that way, but a gamy fish needs to be allowed to play itself out. So it is with a man. First get him on the hook, then play him. . We like those who like us. and Abel Rogers, being aware that Sallie liked him, was disposed to like ber. There was nothing deceitful about this in Sallie. She really liked him or she wouldn't have tried to catch him There is a difference in a girl showing a man that she likes him aud showing him she wants him. Showing it would end uncertainty, and uncertainty is the line by which she must pull him in after getting the hook in his gills. Abel knew nothing about Sallie's feel ings for him except that she liked him. She might have liked several other men and loved one other. It wasn't long before Sallie found an opportunity to favor Abel above other men. He came one evening to the dancing class after an absence, having no partners engaged. Sallie turned down several names on her engage ment card to give the dances to him This was an excellent way of showing him her good will without indicating that she coveted his attention. Per haps there are some among you wb will not see the distinction 1 make here, but I assure you it is one of r little importance. Abel felt not only that some return was due for this kindly act but it gave him pleasure to make a return He invited Sallie to go to driv with TURKISH ARMY CORPSCRUSHED Estimated 40,000 Men Wert Annihilated by Russians ALLIES AOYANCE IN BELGIUM French Official Communique Says Ger mans Have Been Driven From Sano Dune Trenches at Nieuport, Belgiurr A Petrograd dispatch to the Londoi News says: "An official comßiunication says thi Eleventh Turkish army corps has beer exterminated near Kara-Urgan." Hilaire Belloc estimated the loss a. more than 40,000 men, the Ottomai army corps consisting of several thou sand more than the French or German. The defeat follows closely upon the destruction of the Ninth Turk army at Sari Kamysli and the rout of the| Tenth, which came up too late to aid it. French Loss 150,000. The following official statement wa issued in Berlin: "Only artillery duels have takei place on both sides in Flanders. Xeai Blangy, east of Arras, we blew up ? factory building and took some pris oners. On other parts of the front | artillery duels of varying intensity have taken place, but in the sapping and mining areas nothing of note lias occurred. "We made some progress in the Ar- but heavy rains have hampered operations along the entire front. "Generally speaking, the position in he east is unchanged. "About four weeks ago the order or a general attack which had been iecided upon by the French authori ies in December was given. The at empted attacks of the enemy in the western theater were met by the leressary steps on our part. The memy's attacks brought him no sue •ess worthy of mention. "The losses of the enemy during his period counted by us, amounted 'o 20,000 killed and about 17,860 pris mers. We will now know from ex >erience that together with the wound d his losses are in proportion of one o four, apart from the number of sick ind missing, the grand total being 150, )00 men. Our total losses for the same period do not amount to one-quarter of thai number." Allies Claim Advantage. A late official communique given ou: by the French war office reports se /ere fighting in Flanders, near Arras j and in the region of Perthes, v/itli £ lecided advantage to the allies. At Nieuport the Belgians and French pushed forward and drove the Ger mans from their entrenched line in the sand dunes, at the same time destroy Ing a fort from which the enemy had been debouching and doing consider able execution. Quiet still prevails at Soissons, but further to the east, at Troyon, the Ger , nans made an attack but were easil checked. The communique also report ! that the allies' artillery is again prov Ing its superiority over German ordnance. SON BORN AT WHITE HOUSE President Wilson Is Grandfather tc Fine, Healthy Boy. A son was born at the White House last Sunday to Mrs. Francis Bowet- Sayre, President Wilson's second; daughter. Mrs. Sayre and the child were reported to be doing well. The child was born at 4:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon, but the fact was not formally announced until 6 o'clock, when Secretary Tumulty gave out the following statement: "Dr. Grayson, the White House phy-i sician, states that at 4:30 o'clock Mrs. Sayre gave birth to a fine boy. Every- j thing went perfectly and both are doing well." The boy weighed iy% ; pounds. President Wilson made no effort to conceal his joy when informed that the child was a boy, and that Mrs. Sayre was well. His face was wreathed in smiles for hours after ward. It was his first grandchild and the president had no boys of his own. A friend of the family said that the new baby probably will not be given the full name of the president. He will be named either "Woodrow Sayre" j or "Wilson Sayre" unless there is a change of plan. This is at least the seventh baby to I be born at the White House. Four children were born in the historic mansion during the administration of President Jackson. They were the children of Major and Mrs. Donaldson, the former the nephew and private secretary of President Jackson. Julia Dent Grant, now the Princess Can tacuiene, granddaughter of President f- Grant, was born in the White House • in the winter of 1875-76. Esther Cleve land was born there on & ipt. 9, 1893. Germans May Attack Ireland. , That a German aerial raid has been planned against Ireland was indicated when it became known that inhab itants of the seashore counties have been instructed what to do in the event of hostile air craft appearing. They have been directed to take theii cattle and horses and make for the la terior. * p -XibliCNb THAT A GOOD CITIZEN SHOULD KNOW J D. llave you read the Consti ! tut ion of the United States! | R.
