In picturesque Na pics , the city of ills birth , at the ag < of 18 , Knrlco Caruso earned abou $1.00 a day at pattern designing. Hi had a nice voice , and conllded to hli father his ambition to become a grea singer. The old man , however , wouli not hear to this ; but the young mai persisted In his desire to develop hi talent , and so the father opened thi door ono day and requested him ti "clear out , " telling his son to mak < } iis living as he pleased , and also t < take another name if he dlshonorei Ills own. Enrico called on a priest. To hit ] ho sang the "O Salutarls. " The pries was charmed afc once and took th young man to the choirmaster will the order to teach singing to the Nun polltan boy gratis , Finally ho led th choir and become its soloist. And li was able to study without starvln with the priest's generous aid. Then Caruso went to do his mil tary service and was enrolled in regiment of artillery. Asked for hi profession he replied , "Singer. " Th captain , considering that such a prc fcsslon could not make a very eft clent artilleryman , assigned the r < emit to the hardest tasks. Cams was cheerful und r all circumstance and kept on singing. Ho was exercising his voice ono da ; The major , passing the barrack .van heard him. The man had a fiery ten per and was feared by everyone I the regiment. Ho immediately sei for the singer. "So you are singing ? And yo think you are here to sing , do you ? Caruso began incoherently to e : ouse himself. But the major soeme very angry and would not listen. 11 threatened to "teach" him that th barracks is no place for singing , a fused him of being a bad soldier , an ordered Caruso to call on him thi same evening , where he would be i liberty to sing as much as he wished After Caruso had sung for tt major the latter took him to the cal of the town , where he had made n appointment with a teacher of inns and other competent judges. Afti the tenor's trial the major address * him : "Be off and study your music , be soldier. And do not let me see you i the barracks any more than is nece sary. " When Caruso left the regiment 1 did not know much about gunnery i the science of warfare , but he ht made considerable progress towai his goal. And , cnruso adds toda that is why he loves priests and s < dlers. CUT CHERRY DISASTER BILLS Bureau County Supervisors Prune tl Charges of Coroner and Jury. Spring Valley , 111. , June 20.

To be lost on your own farm in c amarack swamp for ceveral hours ; roplng about In the darkness , stumb ing through mud and water , without a sign of life anywhere , with the day light shut out by the heavy foliage ol the tamarack trees , Is no fun. This liappened to N. A. Ralnbolt of NorfoU a few weeks ago on his own farm Ir Wisconsin , where he spent some time fishing. Mr. Rainbolt returned from his trli recently and relates the story. OIK bright afternoon , In search of whlt ( pine trees which were reported grow ing on n portion of his place , ho en tered the swamp believing the treei to be on the other side of the marsh The swamp he thought was but i small one and ho continued his wa ; across the mud and water , over tin little knolls of grass which grows ii these swamps. After walking fo some length of time he found that In was In total darkness and had coim across his own footsteps. He hai been walking around In a circle am after making observations , found h was lost in the swamp. Ho continue ! walking and , after about an hour' hard work , saw a ray of light botweei the trees. He reached the other on of the swamp and climbed a hill an found lie had wandered a great dli tance from the lake upon which hi land borders After more Investigations Mr Rail bolt discovered a stream which ei tered the swamp and also found the It was too deep to cross and It would bo necessary for him to go back through the tamarack swamp to get home. He boldly plunged Into the thick underbrush and high growth of weeds tluough the swamp. In his blind march through the muck , mak ing little headway , leaping over little knolls of glass which protected him front sinking Into the mud , he came upon an old log bridge , which had been built over foity > ears ago. He crossed the bridge which was very solid and had been used as a wagon bildge In the old logging days. He also discovered that the bridge span ned the stream which came from the lake and had he not discovered it he would hardly ha\e been able to cross 10 stream. Ho continued in the darkness trough the swamp and soon light up- eared. But It was dusk. He had icon wandeilng through the swamp 11 afternoon. He soon found the oad and says ho never felt happier In Is life than when his feet touched 10 guldeway toward homo. After re nting his adventure to the farmer on is land , he found that no one In that eighborhood hud ever heard of the Id hi Idge. H. Buettow Badly Hurt.

With gieut coolness he made quick work at picking out the burning boxes , which contained torpedoes , cane cartridges and other explosives. Some of the boxes were already burned through and an Instant later the entire supply of fireworks would have been burning , owing to the fact that the fire hud confined Itself to the center of the fireworks supplies. The building Is on the qouth side of Norfolk avenue , facing north , and It was the early morning sun rays from the northeast , intensified by the glass , that started the blaze. This is the second fireworks fire in north Nebraska this season. Spencer had one last week. Wayne Has Bad Flood. Wayne , Neb. , June 20.

Hamilton , the viator. If she has a rival In either espect It is her mother , Mrs. N. M. Ueaudette. Both women watched his marvelous flight from New York to 3hlladelphla from the special observa- ion train nnd back as far as Prince- on , where sight of him was lost. Then they went to Governors Island to wait for him , and neither will admit hat in the long and anxious hour he- ore he arrived there she doubted he vould succeed or feared for his safety. Just after New Brunswick was pass ed Hamilton saw a woman appear over the tender , nnd in another Instant million's mother was on top of the coal , standing straight up and waving icr handkerchief. Mrs. Hamilton , the iviator's wife , Joined her a moment ater. Here is what Mrs. Hamilton had to ay of the flight. "I think his feat is wonderful simply wonderful. Of ourse , I am prejudiced , but I think hat Charlie's flight is the greatest hing that has been done in aviation in his country since the Wrights first nade their inventive experiments at Dayton. "First , I should say that Charlie won out because he is so splendidly equip. > ed for the work he undertakes. He cnows every part of the machine he is Iriving , and he never puts an undue strain on any part. He Is careful , al. hough those who have seen him in i.xhibitlon flights will laugh at me , per. laps , for saying EO. But he Is , never heless , and he always errs on the side of caution. "Nothing happens to Charlie because le discounts what he is going to dc eng before ho does It. Charlie doesn'l ust go out and fly an aeroplane am ] make those wonderful dips and glides of his without understanding all about bis machine and its capabilities ant possibilities. He has reasoned ever ; move out to a logical conclusion , ant Because he has done so I feel safe whenever he tries anything , howevei dangerous It may he. "Was I nervous at the start of hli flight ? I was nervous , but only be cause I did so want him to be success ful , and I was afraid that somethlnt might happen to him or his machine that would be serious enough to inter nipt the flight or disrupt his plans It's his hobby as well as his buslnesi and to my notion I shouldn't Interferi with his plans. I knew what he wai going to do when we were marriei and now I ought to accept his ways don't you think ? " As for the mother , she would enl ; say , "I have had the finest day of m ; life. It Is utterly impossible for me ti tell you how I feel about It. 'Happy a a schoolgirl * doesn't begin to expres it. He is happy In his work ; ho doe It conscientiously. I knew he'd sue ceed.

It consists of a running , hop , skip and jump , three glides forward , tliroo back and a dig ging movement of the toes , followed by a succeHHlon of cackles. The aero plane fever lias developed any num ber of now dances , the oddest being' ono that necessitates a start from thi window sill. The "subway shuffle" was the only idea submitted by local exponents of fancy footwork. The association IH unanimously opposed to so-called' "Marathon" waltzing contests , not only for artistic reasons , but because the > y have a tendency to increase gas bills. The "Clucks" That Run Away. Now York , June 18. "Clucks" is the most opprobrious word In the Now York lire department. In ono stinging , derisive , scornful syllable , It expresses nil that Chief Cioker meant when ho said that a fifth of his men weren't fit to light ( ires because they wore either too small , physically , or would drop the hose and run for their lives when the lire burned too close. "It's .a terrible indictment to brlnf ? against any man working under you , " said a deputy chief of the department today , but the raw truth is , pretty nearly every lire company in New- York city today has two or three or four 'clucks' in it. It's even more disgraceful to relate that when a big- fire alarm rings in the captains of these companies send out the 'clucks' to do errands , like buying a newspaper or a bottle of milk , so that they won't have a chance to disgrace themselves and their fellows at the blaze. " Chief Crokcr recently made charges that men appointed to the service- through civil service were physically deficient and often cowardly. The Longshoreman and the Lady. Now York , June IS. Fritz Achten- burg , a longshoreman , on the pier , saw a finely dressed , bejcweled wo man , accompanied by a nattily dressed - ed man yesterday. He confronted her. She stopped with a start , c-x- claiming , "Fritz ! " "Yes , " he said in Dutch , "It is Fritz. Who is that man with you , Ella , my wife ? " "I was your wife once , Fritz , but I am no longer. I have divorced you and I will never come back to you again. It is none of your justness who this gentleman Is. " The longshoreman called Police man Delaney , who was near , to ar rest the woman. The policeman said the longshoreman would have to go to court and get a wnrrn'it , and Achtonburg went away. He return ed without having gone to court , de ciding that It was not worth while. The steamer sailed away with the woman and the other man. The Ragtime Craze Has Waned. New York , June 18.
