Among the Qraat Perhaps no man of modern times has passed a more varied and romantic life than Thomas Ward, who commenced life aa a stable boy and who later became famous as a statesman, the intimate of kings and the player of a prominent role at the court of Parma. Ward, who was born at Yorkshire, lh 1810, entered the service of Prince Llchtenstein of Hungary at an early age, and soon made a name, for himself as a jockey in Vienna.

In 1846 he was made master of the horse af the court of the duke of. Lucca, proving his efficiency by reducing expenses more than 50 per cent because of which proof of his ability he was sent to Florence on a confidential mission of the highest importance in 1848. But shortly afterward the duke's rule was terminated by a revolution, and Ward became an active agent of Austria, recovering the hereditary estates of Parma and Placentla. As a reward, he was made prime minister and sent as an envoy, first to Vienna and later to St. Petersburg.

After the assassination of the youthful Charles III, whom the baron had placed upon the throne of Parma, Ward retired from public life and took to agricultural pursuits In Austria. When he died, carrying with him many secrets connected with the leading families of Europe, this man who started as a stable boy bore no less than nineteen distinguished titles.

this fruit as the staple diet which the landlady worked off on the boarders, and which they consumed unwillingly. Today the feeling about prunes has entirely changed and they are regarded as a delicacy and the boarders kick if they do not get them. They sell at a much higher price, far easier than formerly at a low price. How was it done? A great improvement in the methods of growing, handling and grading them was largely responsible. But the big increase in consumption of this fruit could never have been achieved without a notable advertising campaign.

During the war prunes sold well and the production was greatly increased. After the war the European demand fell off, owing to poverty over there. To meet this situation 8,000 prune and apricot growers organized an association and spent $225,000 in advertising in 1919. The 1920 conditions looked blue for the trade, owing to business depression, and it was predicted that the crop would not sell. But a very active advertising campaign was carried on, and the crop was sold out in three months.

a Greece and which Inspired such beautiful verses in the tragedy of Oedipus by Sophocles, reached a much greater age, according to the ancient myth. Pliny even asserts that in his time the cele covered Colonel Fraser measured the fingers of the left hand, but found that they were entirely too long and well Bhaped to fit the bloody Imprint on the wall of the coach. Pinning his faith to the fact that the murderer would probably try to sell Brigg's watch and chain, the police settled down to watch all the pawn brokers in and around London, but days passed without any developments from this end of the case. Finally, just as Fraser was nearing the end of his patience a second hand dealer in Oheapside reported that a chain, similar to the one worn by the dead man, had been brought into his establishment on the day after the murder. The chain, he said, had been placed in with some others, and had slipped his mind, until he commenced to go over his stock.

The only description he could give of the man who sold It was that he was "foreign looking," In fact he felt certain he was a German. More In order to quiet the press than because he attached any real importance to the discovery. Colonel Fraser made public the details of the dealer's story, and the following morning a man called at police headquarters, bringing with him a card which he said his daughter had found on the floor of the room recently occupied by Franz Mullen The card bore the name of the second hand dealer who had purchased the chain! stated Fraser's Informant, was a German who had boarded in his house for some time past, but who had suddenly disappeared, leaving most of his effects behind him. "Didn't happen to leave a photograph, did he?" "Yes, sir, he did. Here It Is," and the man produced a picture which the second hand dealer Immediately identified as the man who had sold him the chain.

It was a matter of only a few hours to trace the German to a steamship office and to find that he had sailed, 48 hours before, for America. Wishing his own men to have credit for the capture. Fraser dispatched two of them to New York on a fast boat, and when Muller stepped off the gangplank he was arrested for the murder of Thomas Brlggs, although he vigorously protested his innocence, nnd stated that he had bought the chain from a man on the street. As further proof of his assertion, he produced Brlggs' watch, which he said he had bought at the same time as the chain. Inasmuch as the guard who had seen the men enter the coach at Fen church street could not positively lden tlfy Muller, the case against him appeared to be very flimsy until Colonel Fraser compared the man's hand with the bloody outline on the wall of the 1 coach.

The two were Identical to the thousandth part of an inch!

A dealer in radio material who lives in another city was speaking the other day about radio experiments and apparatus. "A lot of these 'boys that I know," he said, "know more about the radio than almost anyone else.

Some of our people have gone in for buying expensive apparatus, when they could have saved money if they had just let some of these young amateurs put in a set for them." Then he called out a young fellow of high school age who was tinkering in his back room, and began to ask him a lot of questions about radio apparatus. The great interest taken by school boys and other fellows In experiments in this scientific marvel is a most promising development. Many peo pie have been feeling rather discouraged about the young folks, as if their minds were concentrated on frivolous subjects. But here the evidence is given that hundreds of thousands of these young folks have become fascinated by scientific and technical investigation and are amusing themselves in a pursuit that must help them fit for life. These young fellows are not fooling with any mere toy.

They are training their ingenuity and inventiveness, the qualities that have made America the leader, in scientific and technical progress, and they are adding to their own powers by developing these faculties.
