Thompson Who is in France during World War I and easily Risked Life in Rescuing low Passengers NEW YORK, N. Y., October 20.—Six members of the "Southern Syncopated Orchestra" are reported to be missing as a result of the sinking of the Laird Line steamer Rowan, off the southwest coast of Scotland in a collision with the American steamer West Camack. The accident was due to a heavy fog. Thirteen of the Rowan's crew and a number of its passengers are missing. Although details are lacking it is known that 81 of the 140 persons aboard were rescued. Two passengers died after being rescued by vessels which responded to the wireless S. O. S. call. Orchestra Abroad Among the many passengers of the Rowan were members of the "Southern Syncopated Orchestra", who have been touring Europe since June, 1919, introducing Southern melodies and folk songs, with amazing success. London and Paris had given them enthusiastic receptions and they were en route for Dublin where their coming had been widely heralded. A six month's engagement at the leading theaters had been arranged. There were originally thirty-eight members. Six of the minstrels are among the missing; one a drummer, Peter Robinson is known to be dead, succumbing to exposure on the destroyer's dock after being rescued from the icy water. Leader is Hero The hero of the tragedy was Egbert E. Thompson, leader of the orchestra, who served in France during the late World War with the immortal "Buffalooes" Infantry. He was carried down by the ship, but struggled to the surface and swam to a life raft, onto which he dragged many women, children and men from the water. Time after time, seeing a person helpless and drowning he would leave the safe raft and assist other in getting close. He continued this work of rescue until chilled and exhausted, human nature would permit him to do no more.

LEADING SOCIALIST BLAMES NATION FOR KU KLUXISM Charles Edward Russell Makes Sweep- ing Indictment Against United States for Encouragement of the Mob Spirit EXPRESSION OF SENTIMENT Klausan is Only the Natural and In- evitable Result of the Nation's Frame of Mind, Declares Influential Writer. (Special to The Monitor.) (Special to the Monitor). NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—As is well known the New York World has been exposing the high-handed methods of the Ku Klux Klan. In this it has done valuable service. Commentary views and interviews have been published in this great metropolitan journal from all sorts and conditions of men daily. There has been practical unanimity in condemning the Kluxes. It, however, remained for Charles Edward Russell, the eminent socialist, always unique, original and fearless, to start something to jar Americans out of their smug self-satisfaction. In his interview published in the World, Mr. Russell places the blame for Kluxism on the whole American nation. He sees in the attitude of mind which the United States manifests towards colored Americans the tap-root of Kluxism. Here is how Mr. Russell puts it: "What's all the fuss about? The whole Nation is guilty of Klanism, We're all Klux. "We have allowed prejudice and hate to get us into this shameful condition which we confront now. It is only the natural and inevitable result of the Nation's frame of mind. One tenth of the people in the United States merely because of their color are regarded by the other nine-tenths with all the gradation of opposition ranging from a cold and hateful disdain to a furious and bloody minded hatred. We have made not the slightest effort to understand, help, or sympathize with the people whom we have made the detested pariahs of our social structure. I can see no difference in principle between the spirit that is willing to shoot down a colored man in a Ku Klux Klan raid just because he is colored and the spirit that refuses to allow a colored man to make a living or realize his ambition because he is colored. "The race riots in Washington, Chicago, Omaha, Tulsa and elsewhere should have given us ample warning that the nation was drifting toward something of this kind by the growth of hatred and savage intolerance. The result is something to fill every American with shame. I have been reading lately the comments of the British press on the disclosures of the Ku Klux Klan and they are not calculated to cause us the least gratification. "I can see no advantage in punishing the unfortunate men who have been carried by their unreasoning prejudices into this organization. We ought to punish ourselves for allowing it to exist in a nation which calls itself free and enlightened. We ought to take thought with ourselves lest a worst thing come upon us. BACHELOR BENEDICTS TO Talented Pianist Winner of the Yale Scholarship in Recital Here on October 30th Bachelor Benedict Club presents Miss Helen Hagan, in a recital at Columbia Hall, 2420 Lake Streets, Sunday afternoon, October 30th, 1921 at 3:30 o'clock. Miss Helen E. Hagan, pianist, is a product of American and French masters. At an early age her combination of rare musical talents attracted wide attention in New England. Her first studies were directed by her other. At the age of thirteen she entered the Yale University School of Music where her studies in piano and composition were directed by Professor R. Stanley Knight and the late Dr. Horatio Parker. In 1912 she received the degree of Bachelor of Music, winning at the same time the Samuel Simon Sanford Foreign Fellowship of two thousand dollars. This prize was won through keen competition by composing and publicly performing her own concerts for piano and orchestra. She immediately went to Paris where her studies in piano and composition were continued and a diploma awarded her at the Schola Cantorum under Mlle. Scholla Selva, the prominent French pianist, and Vincent D'Indy, the eminent French composer. Since her return from France Miss Hagan has played in every city of importance in the United States as well as all the U. S. camps in France during the war, and she has endeared herself to the public not alone because she is essentially a student of musical truth in both interpretation and composition, but because of her charming personality and gracious manner. Five dollars in gold will be given to the young lady selling the most tickets. Admission 50 cents. SAMPLE-HART MOTOR CO. Attention is called to the advertisement of the Sample-Hart Motor Company which appears in this issue.

OMAHA'S SKY-LINE ELAINE CASES ARE POSTPONED UNTIL SPRING Ureadness of State to Proceed Raises Hope That Condemned Men May be Freed Through Lack of Evidence to Justify Conviction STATE WITNESS IS INDICTED Former Deputy Sheriff Who Recently Made Favorable Adidavit for the Accusped, Apparently Gets Himself Into Trouble. (Special to The Monitor) LITTLE ROCK, Ark., October 20. The state's unreadiness to go to trial in the six Elaine cases now pending in the Circuit Court of Lee county, Marianna, Arkansas, has caused the cases to be postponed until the April term of said court. The fact that the state announced its unreadiness to proceed with the trial at this term of court is regarded as an indirect admission on the part of the state that it is without legal evidence to justify the conviction of these men. Smiddy White, a former deputy sheriff of Phillips county, who has been testifying as a witness for the state and who recently made a favorable affidavit for the accused, was indicted at Helena last week. Smiddy was a special agent for the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company and acted as deputy sheriff during the riot. Affidavits made by him, which were filed with the petition for habeas corpus ni the Federal Court for the other six condemned men tended to show that these defendants were not guilty of the crimes charged against them. The other cases pending in the Federal Court here have been appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, where they will be tried at a later date. The National Association for the Colored People and Defense Commission, Little Rock, rendered valuable financial assistance. GOURDIN WINS A. A. U. PENTAH- LON CONTEST Harvard's Colored Star And The World's Broad Jump Champion Shines NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—Ned Gourdin, of Harvard University and world's running broad jump record holder, added more laurels to his career yesterday afternoon, when he won the national A. A. U. pentahlon championships, conducted by the New York A. C. at Travers Island. The Harvard man scored twelve points, winning by one point from the Erbal, who registered thirteen. Benjamin Lichtman of the Pastime A. C., was third with fourteen tallies. Of the five events contested to decide the title, Gourdin won three of them, finished the third in the fourth and a hopeless last in the 1,500-metre run. Had Erbal, who finished third in this event, been able to gain first or second place he would have won the title or tied Gourdin for the honors. In the sprint and running broad jump, Gourdin won handily as he did in the javelin throw. In the discus throw, the champion surprised the spectators by finishing in third place, an event he had never competed in before. A. C. CHURCH RAISES $10,000 Atlantic City, N.

PHILIP THE DEACON Bishop Shayler Confirms Four Adults And Delivers Impressive Sermon. Priest Observes Anniversary The Church of St. Philip the Deacon was comfortably filled Sunday morning when Bishop Shayler visited this congregation as part of the observance of the thirtieth anniversary of Father Williams' ordination to the priesthood, confirmed a class of four adults and preached an eloquent and impressive sermon. He spoke of the two anniversaries the American Episcopal Church is observing at this time, the centennial of the organization of the Church Missionary society and the semi-centennial of the Woman's auxiliary. He deemed it noteworthy in this connection that upon this occasion the thirtieth anniversary of the priesthood and service of their pastor who had served faithfully for nearly a third of a century was also being observed. He extended his felicitations, his congratulations and blessing to pastor and people and expressed the hope that the relationship might long continue. His sermon was on "World-Upturners" and said that Christ had come and sent His ministers and missionaries to turn the world right side up, and this is to be the work of all followers of Christ. The persons confirmed were Mrs. Elizabeth Buford. James W. Headley, Henry Gaston and Eugene Nichols. Sunday afternoon Edith E. McCaw was baptized, her witnesses being Mrs. Ray Gibson and Miss Bernice McCaw.

FRANCE WILL TRY HYGIENE Fresh Air, Ice Water and Bath Make Their Formal Debut in Republic. OLD CUSTOMS HARD TO BREAK New University City Will Experiment in Effort to Overcome the Traditional Aversion to Anglo-Saxon Principles of Health. Paris. It will doubtless require numerous decades to convince Frenchmen that Anglo-Saxons who sleep at night with open windows, drink ice water many times a day and insist on rooms and living apartments with baths are not a trifle queer. For countless generations the French people have "known" instinctively that to drink water undiluted with wine is highly dangerous, that open windows after nightfall in damp, cold air which breeds pulmonary trouble, rheumatism and many of the lills that the human race is heir to; that to imbibe ice water and ice concoctions upsets the stomach. But there are signs today that France is changing. One of the greatest signs of late has been the revolutionary and radical pronouncements of such an authority on hygiene as the celebrated Professor Gariel of the Paris Academy of Medicine, who is now advising his fellow countrymen to forget the aged traditions. The professor points to Americans and Britshers to uphold his "radical" contention that one may drink water in plenty. eat ice cream, breathe plenty of fresh air right around the clock and, in fact, do all the things in France that Anglo-Saxon foreigners do in their own countries. Great initial victory. It will take longer, in the opinion of France's new "school of fresh air hygiene," to wean the French away from closing all the windows and shutters with the first damp of evening and keeping them closed until the sun comes up again. However, the greatest initial victory comes with the plans which have been jointly adopted by the French parliament and the City of Paris for the new "university city," a distinctly hygienic institution to be built near Montsouris park, within the city limits. French schools up to new have not been noted for facilities of hygiene. The new "university city" will consist of houses three stories high, with lawns and gardens laid between, and in the very center of the architectural group will be a large building containing shower baths, swimming pools, a gymnasium, music auditorium and library. Students at present cooped and crowded in the aged, unsanitary student quarter on the left bank of the Selne will have in the "university city" all the facilities for living, studying and sleeping in all the fresh air that the high Montsouris region and modern hygienic principles can give them. They will be encouraged to sleep with open windows facing spacious places perfumed with flowers and plants. The price for student lodgings in this modern city of learning will be about $40 a year. Although a general director will be appointed, his authority, it is announced, will be limited. Students will not be treated as pensionaries, nor cloistered monks. But whether the students will be allowed by the homefolk to bring their university fresh air training into the old homestead is yet to be seen. It is more probable that father and mother will let son or daughter carry on fresh air tactics under protest, while the elders lock their bedroom windows, clamp the shutters tight and sleep as their fathers and grandfathers, mothers and grandmothers have been doing for centuries. TAKES 800 MILE TAXI RIDE Woman's Trip Is Profitable to Driver Who Gets Big Tip and Extra Fares. London.—A taxi cab ride of 800 miles was made by an elderly Scotchwoman who, desiring to visit relatives in Braemar, Scotland, decided that it was too warm to travel by train. So she stopped Frederick Clarke, a taxi-cab driver, as he was driving past her house and had him take her to the North of Scotland. Clarke picked up passengers for shorter hauls on his way back, so that his entire journey of 1,600 miles, which he covered without even a puncture, was decidedly profitable. Besides a substantial fare, the elderly woman gave him a $50 tip.

MEMBER OF MILMO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE THE DYER BILL THE New York Age in its issue of last week puts the duty of concerted action in striving to secure passage of the Dyer Bill so forcibly and plainly that we quote it here as our editorial advice to our numerous readers, and urge our people to act at once United, concerted action now. We endorse every word of the editorial which says: "The time is now at hand to strike the final blow for an anti-lynching bill. The House of Representatives will be in session next week and will probably remain in session up to the time of the opening of the session of Congress in December. Between now and then every possible ounce of pressure should be brought to get this measure through. The Dyer Bill, the one which has the best chance of being passed, is still in the hands of the House Committee on the Judiciary. The bill has received the approval of the Department of Justice. The Attorney General himself has suggested certain changes in the phraseology which in his opinion might move such objections as might be brought on the point of unconstitutionality. The majority of the members of the Committee on the Judiciary appear inclined to report the bill. The bill must not only be reported out of committee. It must also be placed on the calendar so that it will receive consideration before Congress adjourns and not die with a lot of other unconsidered legislation. Pressure to have the bill reported out and to have it go to vote can be brought by a single action. Colored people all over the United States must at once bestir themselves and make Congress feel that this is a matter upon which it must act and act at once. This can be done by every colored man and woman who takes any thought at all regarding the race making himself or herself a committee of one to see that members of Congress are flooded with letters and telegrams demanding the passage of the bill. First, let each thoughtful colored person send a telegram. A telegram will receive a hundred times more consideration than a letter and it is worth fifty cents or a dollar of any Negro's money to help make this bill a law. Second, let each one make it his business to get as many other people, white as well as colored, to send similar messages. Let the ministers tell the people that this should be done. Furthermore, let the ministers, educators and other leaders make a list of the names of their Congressmen to whom the people should send their communications, because there are many who do not know who their representatives in Congress are. The official title of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is H. R. 13. This official title should be mentioned in the communication sent. Act at once. The time is short. The opportunity is great and we can rasp it if we act together, twelve million strong. CONGRATULATIONS, CHARLEY. CHARLES E.

AND MRS. WHITE News has reached The Monitor that a daughter was born to Dr. and Mrs. James E. White of St. Louis, Mo., October 5. Mrs. White will be remembered as Miss Madree Penn, one of Omaha's most popular and accomplished daughters. She was one of the organizers and incorporators of the Kaffir Chemical Laboratories and its president until a few months ago. She was also associate editor of The Monitor, after her return from Y. W. C. a work in which she was most successful in the east and south. Something over a year ago she was married to Dr. James E. White of St. Louis. BIRTH OF A NEW CHURCH On last Monday at nine o'clock P. M., the Springhill Baptist Church was organized at the corner of 33rd and Pinkney streets, with the Rev. John Costella as Pastor, Messrs. John Wainright, George Mithel and June Bryant chosen as Deacons. Rev. Dr. W. F. Botts Moderator of the New Era Baptist Association of Nebraska; presiding and Rev. J. D. Crum acting as secretary. Reading of the scriptures by the secretary The Rev. Dr. Wm. Franklin, Pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church, delivered the charge to the church. The Rev. Dr. H. R. McMillian, pastor of Mt. Moriah baptist church, delivered the charge to the pastor. A song was sung and the right of fellowship was extended to the members and officers; and a neat little sum of money was taken for the young church. Thus ushering another member into the great family of baptist churches. A CARD TO THE PUBLIC The annual election of the Omaha branch N. A. A. C. P. will be held November 6. The great majority of those who have been members are now delinquent. To these I wish to appeal with all of my heart, to pay their annual membership fee of one dollar. See the secretary at 1417 N. 24th St., or at the meeting place next Sunday, St. Paul Presbyterian church, 26th and Seward streets, between now and election time. And see to it that persons who have the confidence of the people, persons who are honest, faithful, and capable are elected to administer the affairs of the branch. The N. A. A. C. P. is a great organization, designed to be of great benefit to all people, and particularly to the colored people. Therefore it would be a sin by omission to neglect so great an organization. I should like very much to see some of our prominent white members on the official staff of the branch. J. D. CRUM, Sec'y. Nepal,a Hermit Kingdom Street Scene in Patan, Nepal. Prepared by the National Geographic Society Washington, D.C. clety, Washington, D. C.) Nepal, in which is situated much of Mt. Everest, the world's highest pinnacle, which is now being attacked by an elaborately equipped British scientific expedition, is the true "hermit kingdom" of today. The government purposely keeps the roads which lead from India to Nepal in bad condition, and travelers are admitted to but one small valley, and then only for special reasons upon a difficulty obtained permit. This kingdom which holds itself so aloof from the world is a narrow strip of country about 100 miles wide and 500 miles long, extending for nearly a third of the distance between India and Tibet along the sky-piercing Himalayas. On the south it includes a very narrow strip of plains country, but predominantly it is a mountainous region. In fact, its possession of Mt. Everest and some of the other of the highest mountains in the world give it claim, in one sense at least, to be the most mountainous of countries. The Nepalese are a fighting people, have an excellent army and organization, and are fond of show, both in military display and in their religious festivals. The latter are very numerous, and in fact seem to be interminable. The women take a prominent part in most of them. Some of the semi-military pageants end in the massacre of hundreds of buffaloes. In one suet, ceremony, known us as the blessing of the colors, the commander in chief dips his hands in a bowl of blood and clasps each banner in turn, thus imprinting on each the mark of bloody hands. The scene is somewhat revolting, but probably has its use in keeping up a martial spirit in the army. Voluminous Dresses of Women. Voluminous Dresses of Women. The Nepalese women wear yards upon yards—sometimes as many as a hundred—of fine muslin paited to form a huge fan-shaped bunch in front, the back being quite tight. When a lady of rank dress in her baroque she completely fills the carriage with her voluminous skirt of brilliant hue. Above the skirt a vivid little tight-fitting jacket, usually of velvet, is worn; the hair is dressed in a peculiar knot in front, above the forehead, and fastened to one side by an enormous gold plaque with a jeweled center. A heavy gold necklace and gold bangles complete her jewelry. Every imaginable shade is used—purple, pale blue, green, carmine, orange, white, yellow, turquoise, and deep red—and the effect is wonderful. At the time of state ceremonies the streets are filled with processions of elephants in gorgeous trappings, horses and ponies, brilliant military uniforms, and the usual crowd of good-natured, pleasure-loving people, the whole against the background of the old temples and natural surroundings making a wonderful spectacle. The journey into Nepal is not an easy one. At first there is a track through the forest, but as soon as the outer hills are reached the road loses itself in the bed of a stream, up which the bearers pick their way with difficulty over and among great boulders. The official road finally goes over the very rough track across the Chandragiri pass and down the almost impassable road on the other side into the Nepal valley. The last portion of the descent is down a long staircase of roughly-placed blocks of stone, and it is marvelous how the laden men and ponies keep their footing on it. From the foot of the pass an excellent carriage road into the town of Khatmandu runs through the valley teeming with people, towns, palaces, temples, and innumerable shrines. There are miles of such good carriage roads within the valley, mostly constructed in Jung Bahadur's time, and carriages and pairs, and occasionally a four-in-hand are constantly used by the palace people. In this valley, where the shrines alone are said to number more than 2700, the buildings present an amaz- Hermit Kdom many diversity of form, derived from many sources—Egyptian, as shown in the typical form of the windows and doorways finely adapted to local traditions; Persian, Babylonian, Indo-Aryan, and even Nestorian in some of the designs. The inhabitants of Nepal are collectively known as "Dwellers in the Hills," and are divided into innumerable castes. The Gurkhas are now the dominant race. Among the Gurkhas there are 21 castes and in addition to these, there are among the Newars, or conquered people, 41 castes and subcastes. The most striking buildings of Nepal's comparatively modern capital, Khatmandu, are perhaps, those composing the Durbar palace, with its many quadrangles and pagoda-shaped roofs, full of chambers and courts with small communicating doors easily closed, which enable the inhabitants to defend themselves in case of political disturbances, which are not infrequent. Some of the windows are very fine and there are some striking bits of wood carving. - Patan, the Old Capital. Patan, the Old Capital. Patan was the old Newar capital, where Buddhism was the accepted religion of the country before the invasion of the Gurkhas. Although the largest town in Nepal, it is a quiet, sleepy place, much of it falling into ruins, but still most picturesque. It stands in the center of the beautiful valley, against a background of green mountains and snowy peaks—a network of narrow, twisting little streets packed full of shrines, temples, and pagodas, many of them deserted and falling into ruins, but still with exquisite bits of carving and wonderful doorways of all shapes and sizes and wonderful designs. Many of Fatsam's buildings are decorated with sheets of embossed copper gift, and everywhere the shrines are guarded by pairs of fearsome animals of enormous size. Carved stone pillars are surmounted by animals, birds, or fish modeled in metal; belts of all sizes are everywhere, and huge lotus thrones in bronze hold bronze Thunder-Boats or Dorgls. The art of the Nepalese, or, properly speaking, the Newars, is worthy of special consideration. It was the Newars who brought art to its highest state of perfection, and their influence has extended through these hills into Sikkim, Bhutan, and Tibet. Indian influence has penetrated from the south with the advance of Buddhism and has spread through the hills, along the Brahmaputra valley, to Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. On the other hand, Chinese influence is also strong and there has been intercourse with that country for many centuries. Beautiful Wood Carving. Beautiful Wood Carving. Nepalese wood carving is extraordinarily beautiful and ornate. Every scrap of wood is carved in some manner; the struts upholding the eaves of shrines represent saints and dragons. while windows and doors are examples of the most elaborate and minute workmanship of every conceivable design. The verandas and overhanging balconies are highly ornamented and the work on some of the pillars is very bold and striking. In weaving, the natives are deficient, the only cloth made being a coarse cotton of no artistic value. The feudal system, which has prevailed among these hills for many years, is in a measure responsible for much of the artistic work of the natives, it enables a man to put his whole energy into his work. He has no care about food or housing; it is to his master's and his own advantage to produce the most artistic work possible. Nepal maintains a well-delifted and efficient army of about 32,000 infantry and 2,500 artillery, with about 100 serviceable and 150 unserviceable guns. The Maharashtra is not permitted to have any intercourse with Europeans, and should the British resident or any official have occasion to interview him it is always in the presence of some Nepalese official.

Kenton was a Virginian who served as a scout in Lord Dunmore's war shortly before the outbreak of the Revolution and who crossed over the mountains into the "Dark and Bloody Ground" of Kentucky in search of adventure. His exploits there soon won for him the unyielding hatred of the Indians and no less than eight times he was captured by them and sentenced to death. In 1728 Kenton with two companions went north into Ohio to spy upon a tribe at war with the whites. While returning, they came upon a herd of Indian horses. The Kentuckians resolved to take some of the animals along as trophies of the successful expedition. The Indians quickly discovered the theft and overtook the scouts just before they crossed the Ohio river. One of the Kentuckians was killed, another escaped but Kenton was taken prisoner. "You sent Injun boss?" they taunted him. "All right, we give you ride on him." So they tied the scout on a wild young horse and set it free in the forest. He finally was taken from the horse's back more dead than alive. At the first village the Indians reached, they condemned the scour to run the gantlet. When the signal was given, Kenton spring through the time of warriors, armed with clubs and batchets, and reached the council house, his goal almost untouched. Near Zanesfield preparations were made to burn him at the snake but the arrival of Slmon Girty, the "white renegade," who recognized Kenton as an old friend, saved him. His freedom was short-lived. Three weeks later the Indians again voted to put him to death. Again he was saved by a friend—Chief Logan, the noted orator of the Cayugas. When the Sandys town were reached, the Indians held a council and once decreed the death penalty. Kenton was tied to the snake. Just as the torch was being applied, a British officer appeared and demanded the surrender of their prisoner to his commander at Detroit. Kenton was kept captive in Detroit until 1770, when through the aid of an Indian trader's wife he escaped to Kentucky where he died in 1836. Three-Year-Old Girl Walks Up Pike's Peak Colorado Springs, Colo.—Miss Helen M. Riordan, three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George J. Riordan of New York city, holds the world's record for the ascent on foot of Pike's Peak. She and her mother walked up to the burro stand, where they stayed all night. Early next morning they started afloat on the last lap of the ascent, where all the difficult climbing comes in, because of the altitude and cold and winds. The child walked the entire distance unaided. At the summit, which was reached about noon, she appeared less fatigued than her mother. FOR RENT - Modern rooms 1 block from car line.

Mrs. Frederick Dalziel Misses Death by Inches in Encounter With Wounded Animal. London.—After a six months' big game shooting and exploration expedition in the Tanganyika territory, formerly German East Africa, Mrs. Frederick Dalziel, a young American woman, is in London on her way to a quiet home life with her husband and two daughters in New York. During her expedition, which she made in company with Sir Charles Ross and Mr. Barries, the African explorer, and his wife, Mrs. Dalziel included in her "bag," among a large quantity of smaller game, an elephant, a buffalo, two rhino-crosses, three hippopotamuses and seven lions. "I went for my health, really," she said to an interviewer, "for I was compelled to lead an open-air life." Mrs. Dalziel described how she missed death by inches in an encounter with a wounded rhino-cross. "One day," she said, "we were walking down one of the jungle tracks, almost like subway tunnels, which run from water hole to water hole, when we came on a big animal asleep. Str Charles Ross went on ahead and fired at and wounded it, and it went crashing away into the jungle. I was some little way behind, and suddenly I heard, scarcely a yard away, the noise of the rhinoceros, which had gone round in a circle and was coming back to the track again. "I went behind a bush, but the animal also had the same idea, and it crashed right past me and caught me with its side, and I and two natives who were with me were knocked over into a thorn bush. Except for some cuts about the face I was unhurt. Most probably the rhinoceros did not see me." Here Sir Charles Ross broke in, saying: "There is only one thing that Mrs. Dalziel has been entirely deprived of in her composition. That is—fear. When a lion suddenly appears a few feet away from you and Mrs. Dalziel says, "What a beautiful lion!"—well, there you are." "It was!" exclaimed Mrs. Dalziel. THE NEW YORK TIMES The Hon. Mrs. C. W.

'61 VET FINDS MAN HE SHOT Union Soldier Traces His Bullet Fired in Battle of Vicksburg Fifty-Eight Years Ago. Kelso, Wash.—P. J. Knapp, a Civil war veteran, after 38 years has traced the course of a bullet he fired at the stedge of Vicksburg. Some time ago Mr. Knapp read a news dispatch saying that W. B. Mendows, a Confederate veteran of Lanott, Ala., had conughed up a bullet which was shot into his eye at Vicksburg. Mr. Meadows, the account said, was a member of the Thirty-seventh Alabama regiment, and Mr. Knapp recalled an incident at the siege, when he and three other members of the Fifth Iowa volunteers silenced a Confederate sharpshooter who was firing through a small hole in a sheet of boiler plate. When Mr. Knapp wrote to Mr. Meadows, the latter said that, he was the man behind the boiler place, and that the bullet entered his right eye. British Take German Wives. London.—Seven British officers with the army on the Rhine have married German women since the occupation, it was stated in the house of commons by a government spokesman in reply to a question. PecuMar Philippine Buffalo. When Americans first went to the Philippines they were much interested in the odd-looking beast known there as the "water buffalo"—a smaller variety commonly used as a draft animal, but giving little milk. It is extensively utilized in the same way in China. The brute cannot endure hard work in the sun unless its skin is frequently wet, and hence its habit of wallowing in mud or water. If overcome by the heat it may go crazy and is liable to be dangerous. But the mull buffalo, kept for dairy purposes, needs no water THE MONITOR CLASSIFIED COLUMN ATTORNEYS PIATTI & WEAR ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELLORS AT LAW Phone Douglas 4508 1017-20 City Nat'l Bank Bldg.
