THE PRAYER THE AMERICAN BENEFICIAL INS. CO. VOLUME XXXI. NO. 34 When in 1902, Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham, who was then pastor of the great Fifth Street Baptist Church, of Richmond, Va., but now pastor of the historic Holy Trinity Baptist Church of Philadelphia, Pa., along with a few friends launched the American Beneficial Insurance Company and declared that it was to be a success, few people doubted what he said, because it was a known fact to the public at large that Dr. Graham was an energetic, life-giving, aggressive worker and one under whom nothing had ever failed to which he had placed his hands. It was a known fact that coming out of school in 1882, his first pastoral charge was a church in Alexandria, Va., run down, enveloped in debt, scattered in membership and almost without hope for its future, yet in a few months, new life was inspired and in eighteen months the church was clear of debt and in a prosperous condition. From there in 1889 he went to Danville, Va. and found the Loyal Street Baptist Church with $9,000 in debt. He soon straightened them out, paid off their debts and in 1892 was called to Richmond, Va., where he found the Fifth Street Baptist Church with a $12,000,00 debt. In a few years this debt was cleared off and 15,00 members were baptized by him and the church beautified at a cost of $9,000,00 including the installation of a $900,00 heating plant and a $2,000,00 organ, therefore when in 1902 he launched the American Beneficial Insurance Company everybody had the utmost confidence in his business integrity. Gathering around him such gentlemen as Messrs. B. H. Peyton, R. H. Fauntleroy, John W. Howard, R. W. Anderson, James H. Chiles, E. T. Coleman, Lawyer J. Thomas Hewin, James Page, Joseph Lovings, A. D. Price, W. H., Watkins, Lewis Cheatham, James Wingfield, Adolphus Humbles, Rev. Dr. Holland Powell as Board members and a number of faithful stockholders, within less than one month $700,000 in cash was laid on the table as stock money with which to begin the American beneficial Insurance Company. At that time, the State Insurance laws were far more lenient and tolerable than what they are now. In fact, the only taxation was $200.00 a year for license for Industrial Sick Benefit Insurance, but soon after its organization the American Beneficial Insurance Company was called upon by state law to pay one per cent of its gross receipts annually to the state. That having been, compiled with the next legislature passed a law compelling all such companies to deposit $10,000.00 in cash with the state. The American Beneficial Insurance Company was the first Company to make this deposit. From that time on the Company has made rapid progress. Today the Company has about forty branch offices and is thoroughly established in the entire state of Virginia, and the District of Columbia. It has met all of its claims and paid out in the twelve years of its existence for death claims, $140,125.40 for sick claims, $384,390.54 and is constantly growing in strength and popularity with the public. The Company has property valued at $30,000.00, some of the cuts of which are shown upon this page. It will be remembered that when the Gallilean Fishermen's Savings Bank failed in Hampton, Va. and their magnificent white pressed brick front building was sold, the American Beneficial Insurance Company was on hand to purchase the property, which they now own. The Company safe-guards all of its holdings so as to be sure that no ill will comes to it. The Company has among its stock holders and board members a goodly number of men and women who are personally wealthy, among whom may be named Mr. Adolphus Humbles of Lynchburg, Va., Mr. A. F. Brooks of Roanoke, Rev. Dr. Holland Powell of New York, Mr. A. D. Price of Richmond, Dr. H. L. Harris of Richmond, Hon. John Mitchell, Jr. of Richmond, Mr. James H. Chiles of Richmond, Lawyer J. Thomas Howin of Richmond and many others. There is no danger of its failure. Rev. Dr. Graham, though pastoring in Philadelphia, makes a monthly visit to Richmond and along with an export auditing Committee carefully examines into all of its business affairs. And then, too, the Insurance Department of the State makes an examination and investigation of all the business affairs of the Company at stated and sundry times during each year. The public therefore did not fear such a Company as the American Beneficial Insurance Company. [Portrait of a man in formal attire, facing left, with a serious expression.] B. H.

Dr. Graham taking the field and planting branch, offices throughout the entire state of Virginia and Washington, D. C. He remained its President for eight years and then started the American Beneficial Insurance Company, issuing for the first time by any Negro Company straight life policies. He has worked hard and labored to give the race an organization of which they may well feel proud and which today deserves the support of the members of the race in all parts of the state. Therefore we are before the public to refresh their memories and to RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1914. solicit from them their patronage for a company that has done so much good and is still blessing thousands and thousands of our people through out this country.

Graham is the pastor of the Holy Trinity Baptist Church Philadelphia, Pa. He took charge of this church in 1911 when its membership and attendance had run down to very small numbers.

Had it not been for the Philadelphia Baptist City Mission it would have been sold at auction, but in less than three years over 1200 people have joined the church under him. $15,000.00 paid on the debt and the church pewed and beautified, at a cost of $5,800.

Mrs. Cortlandt, Gertrude, runsnels' path, Detective Williams seeks Kirk, known to him as Locke or Weller. During an intermission between dances at a ball Chiquita and Kirk are married, the girl returning immediately to her father's side. CHAPTER XXIV. A Question and the Answer. N all their married life Edith "Cortlandt had never known her husband to show such stubborn force. Failing to dominate him as usual, she was filled with a strange feeling of helplessness and terror. "You had no right to accept such evidence," she stormed. "Bah! Why try to fool me? I have your own words for it. The other afternoon I came home slick-with my head. I was on the gallery, outside when you were pleading with him, and I heard it all. But he was growing tired of you. That, you know, makes it all the more effective." He smiled in an agonized fury. "You—cur! she cried, with the fury of one beating handed at a barred door. "You had no right to do such a thing even if I were guilty." "Right. Aren't you my wife?" The look she gave him was heavy with loathing. "That means nothing with us. I never loved you, and you know it. You never could have succeeded without me. All you have is due to me—even your reputation in the service. Your success, your influence, it is all mine. The debt is all on your side, as you and I and all the world know." "Who made me a manikin?" he demanded, with womanish fury, a fury that had been arriving for utterance these many years. I had ambitions and hopes and ability once—not much perhaps, but enough—before you married me. I was nothing great, but I was getting along. I had confidence, too, but you took it away from me. You—you absorbed me. You had your father's brain, and it was too big for me. It overshadowed mine. In a way you were a vampire, for what I had you drained me of. But tonight, when he got up before those other men and dangled my shame before my eyes, I bad enough manhood left in me to strike back. Thank God for that at least. Maybe it's not too late yet for me to be a man. Maybe if I get away from you and try"—His voice died out weekly. In his face there was a miserable half gleam of hope. "I never knew you felt like that. I never knew you could feel that way." she said in a colorless voice. "But you made a terrible mistake." "Do you mean to say you don't love him?" "No. I have loved him for a long time. I can't remember when it began." She spoke very listlessly, looking past him as if at a long familiar picture which she was tired of contemplating. "I never knew what love was before. I never even dreamed. I give my life right now to unify what you have done. Just for his sake, for he is innocent. Oh, don't snort! I true. He loves the Garavel girl and wants to marry her. I'm going to tell you the whole truth now without spitting myself. It began. I think, at Tiboog, that night when he kissed me. It was the only time he ever did such a thing. It was dark. we were alone. I was frightened, and it was purely impulse on his part. But it woke up, and all at once I knew him he meant to me. When I observed that he cared for that girl with a fever overheard you must know. I felt Garavel into disbelief, but I set out to break him. In the way that he needed me. The night he cared me. That's the truth. Stephen. If we believed in myself, I would suffer it." "You are shilohing him. You want to make me out wrong." But he knew he knew. "Those are the facts. He even knows they are bad enough, but they are by no means so bad that you might. And I'm your wife, Stephen. That thing you did was brutal. Those men will talk, I was guilty of no thoughts, but I'm young, and you have no right to blight my life and my reputation - yes, and yours - by a thing like that. We will have to meet these men. What are you going to do?" "I don't know," he said. "I'm all my life I never felt but one moment of power, and that, it seems, was false. For years I have hagged to show myself a name, and how what have I done? What have I done? I am no monster. Why couldn't you be on earth? Why did you go halfway? Why couldn't you be all good or all bad and save me this?" "All women are half good and half bad." "I can't blame you for not loving me. I suppose, he mumbled. "No woman of your kind could have a man like me." "Those men," she said in a way that made him writhe. "Wait until I think. I must think." "Perhaps in the morning we can see a way out." "That it' s He nodded. "You go to bed and I think I'm trying to think now, but this heat is suffocating me and my head is tired." Despite the breathless oppression of the night, she shivered. "I never can meet them row, and I don't see how you will dare to, knowing that you were wrong." "Don't" he pleaded. "The other was bad enough, but this... Tell me what to do." "I can't. I don't know myself. All I can see is that those men will never cease to believe, no matter what you tell them." As she prepared for bed an hour later she heard him still stirring about in his quarters, but afterward she did not detect his cautious footsteps when he stole out of his chamber, closing the door softly behind him. Kirk was roused from a heavy, senseless slumber the next morning by a vigorous rapping at his door. He opened the door and Rinnels rushed in. "Where did you go after I left you last night?" "I came here, of course." As the memory of the previous night awept over Kirk he scowled. "Did you stay here?" "No. I went out again, and was out nearly all night trying to walk it off." Kunnals' face blanched, and he drew back. "Then, of course, you know?" "What?" "About Cortlandt. He's dead!" "Dead? When? Where? How did it happen?" "Nobody knows just how. He was found on the sea wall near Alfareza's house, shot." "Shot! Good Lord!" "Did you see Cortlandt again after I left you?" Runnels swallowed hard. Kirk whirled about and faced him. "Great heaven! No! See here, that idea is ridiculous!" Runnels sank weakly into a chair and mopped his face. "When you said you'd gone, out again it knocked me flat, understand?" "I can prove where I was, for Allan was with me. I couldn't sleep, so I tried to walk off my excitement. No, no; I couldn't do a thing like that." thought last night that I could, but—I couldn't really." "I'm arrared Wade will tell all about the party if we don't stop him." "Then we'd better hunt him up." Kirk resumed his dressing, while Rumelia consulted his watch. up an hour ago." "Upon leaving the Tivoli last night Senior Cordian, dined with six of his friends at the Central. There was drinking. The waiter have been questioned; also one of the men who was present has recounted to me what he over, the unease the marriage His only concern that Gortis the truth with it. That show at any rate. H "No. 5 is due in twenty minutes. We'll probably find him at the office." Together they hastened to the railroad building, Runnels telling all he knew of the tragedy as they went along. Cortlandt's body, it seemed, had been found about daylight by a Spigotty policeman, who had identified it. Becoming panic stricken at the importance of his discovery, he had sounded the alarm, then reported directly to the governor, whose house was close by. The whole city was alive with the news. The police were buzzing like bees. Rumors of suicide, murder, robbery, were about, but no one seemed to know anything definite. "It was suicide." Kirk averred, with conviction. "The man is insane last night, and that accounts for what he said about me. He's been slick for a long time." "If those boys will only keep their months shut," Runnels said anxiously. "There's no telling what these Spigotty might do if they heard about that row." "But it happened in Panama, and it would be their affair." Although it was Sunday, the four young fellows who had taken part in the entertainment on the night before had gathered in the office and at the appearance of Runnels greeted him eagerly. Toward Kirk, however, they maintained a disheartening constraint. The acting superintendent began to caution them trefully. "It's a bad business," said Runnels, "and it's something I for one don't want to be mixed up in. I've heard runners already about some sort of a quarrel at our party. I'm afraid you fellows have been talking." Wade acknowledged it rocklessly. "Yes, I'll answer for my part, and I'm not going to make any promise of secret either." Into the office behind them came Ramon Alfaro and two Panamanian police men, one鉴定 a sergeant. "Thu, the you are!" Alfaro asked as he could sight of Kirk. "You are a rest." "What for?" "Gentlemen, you will be so kind to go the museum yet. The latter will desire to make the picture remarkable those copper in Senator Cortlandt's night." At that moment of the building being to shake and reverberate as No. 5 roll in from Colonel Fearing John Weeks, Amedian consul, and Mr. Williams of St. Louis in one of the forward coaches. As the two hurried out through the two doors they found the effect bled by a considerable crowd, evidently interested in something quite apart from the arrival of the morning train. But before they could learn the cause out from the nearby building came Ramez Alfaroz, accompanied by several policemen and a group of railroad employees, among whom was Kirk Anthony. "There be it," whispered the counsel, cut ling at his companion's arm, "Get him now before his friends." "You are arrest!" Williams thrust the policemen and the curious onlookers aside and, laying hold of Anthony, cried in triumph: "Well, Mr. Jefferson Locke, I want you." A little man in blue uniform was attempting to take the prisoner in charge, but the detective disregarded him. Hunnels elbowed his way forward with a question. "Oh, I've got a warrant for him." Williams declared, "What for? Well, for one thing, he embezzled $80,000, and I'm going to take him back." "Eh? What is this? Alfarez bustled into the conversation, 'Embezzle? He is then a Cleft?" "Exactly. If you're the inspector I'll ask you to make this arrest for me. I believe we're on foreign ground." "I regret you 'are arrive' so late," smirked Alfarez. "The gentleman is already arrest' for the murder of Senor Corlian." He will first answer to that, I assure you. It was during the lunch hour that Raimon Alfaroe called at the Caravel home, finding the banker and his daughter still loitering over their midday meal and discussing the topic that had electrified the whole city. "So fine a man," the father was saying. "He was, indeed, my good friend. It is shocking." "Yes, and to think he should have been killed in this cowardly manner." "Killed! In it believed that he was murdered? Caramba! I supposed he had shot himself. That was the goo- up an hour ago." "Upon leaving the Tivoll last night Senor Cortlan' dined with six of his friends at the Central. These was drinking. The waiters have been questioned; also one of the men who was present has recounted to me what occurred. It seems that for a long time Senor Cortlan' has been jealous of his wife. Cortlan' openly accused his enemy before all the others. It was most dramatic, it was terrible! There was a scene of violence. The other man made threats." Garavel breathed an incredulous exclamation. "Ah, but wait! It was Senor Cortlan' best friend, too, the man for whom he had accomplished many favors, whom he accused." He noted with mingled anger and satisfaction the pallor that was creeping into the girl's cheeks. "You would never guess. It was—I besituate, and yet you are bound to learn, my dear friends—it was this Anonyx." "It is a lie!" said the girl quietly, "He loved no one but me." "Gertrudie." The banker was shocked beyond measure at what he considered his daughter's jealousy. "Those are not nice words." "I do not believe it." Ramon had not counted upon such a spirit, and, his mind getting the better of him, he sneered. "I should not have spoken. I did not know you still care." "She does not care." Garnvel declared loudly. "Ah, but I do. I love him very dearly." The two men stood upon their feet in an instant, star. at her, the elder in amazement, the younger with rage and resentment blazing from his countenance. "Silence!" thundered the banker. "Yound stands your alliance hus- band." "It is a miracle!" she persisted gently. "No, no, no." There is no mistaken chartered Rabbi. "Those other men have told all, and your Autonomy is now in the care of our guard. It was I who saw to his best. Nor is that all. He is not at all the man he pretended to be, even he, one is false. This morning these arrived an American officer of police arrest him on other charges. He is thief. It seems, having stolen $500 gold from his own players. Oh, he is no mistress. Within the he, I have been talking with this detective, and he has the powers of proof, not that merely "It is, indeed, you are the fatter." "But it is not true," unmistake the girl simply, and the eyes were as shely as after that." "Take me to him, please. I must go at once to the car." But he only answered, her with a state of amazement: "He must hurry after an arrest." "Loved I lost my senses." "Yes, I must be for he is my boy-band." We were dressed best night. "Mother of God!" the tender child intended heartily, and asked for the seat from which he had taken it. He was storing from one to the other, his head turning jerkly. "Oh, yes." The judge from Colon married us during the dance. I would have liked a church wedding, but that will complicate. The Senior Rommel and his wife were there also, and they will tell you. It made me very happy. Her face was transgressed by a book that left the two men no choice but to believe. "A civil marriage!" stammered Ramon. "A civil marriage, indeed!" said Garavel in a cooking voice. "So that is where you were when I believed you to be dancing. But I will not have it, understand! You are betrothed, You have given your word to Ramon." "Ah, but I never loved him. You compelled me to consent because you said you could not be president unless I married him. And that was not so. Ramon desired you. Now it is all right. You will be president, and I can be happy." Ramon'sukupleton kindled on the instant. He turned upon the banker. "So I be sure to see! That was a trick, then, to betray my father." "But wait!" Gertrudis exclaimed sharply. "Did you not trick us also? Did you use the general, your father, to make me give up the man I love? Which of us, then, is the better?" Andres Garavel spoke threateningly, menacingly to his daughter. "It was no marriage, and it will not stand. I will have it annulled. The man was a criminal, a fugitive, even when he freed you to marry"— "No, be. You cannot do that. It was I was asked him to marry me." The girl lied tremulously, panic stricken at the threat. "Before God, I am his wife," she maintained. "And if this marriage has a flaw then I will stand beside the prison gates and remarry him as he comes forth." "He will not come forth." Ramon declared harshly. "Oh, yes! And now will you take me to him!" "No! her father bellowed. "You are my daughter, you are under my roof, and here you shall stay until you give up this sadness and this man, of forbid you to go near him. Come! Do you promise? She inclined her dark head. "I must learn more of this at fair at once. You will find your sense, miss, or if you do not you will spend your life in meditation and prayer—that much I promise you." "I do not wish to enter, a consent," she said, with white lips. "I wish to be happy. When. Keerk is free I shall go to him. Now, if you please, I think I shall go away." She turned and went out of the high big cellled room, and not until she had reached the hall did her Feet waver or her head droop. A Last Appeal. THAT was not a pleasant interview for Anthony. His surroundings were not such as to lend him assurance, and travel's grief at his daughter's disease was really distressing. More T over, the unequivocal threat to anuln the marriage filled him with alarm. His only consolation came from the fact that Gertrudia had made, known the truth without the slightest hesitation. That showed that she was loyal at any rate. Kirk tried to assure his caller that he would have no trouble in proving his innocence, but Garavel seemed very little concerned with that phase of the affair and continued to bewail the dishonor that had fallen on his name. Kirk's pride arose at this, and he exclaimed with some heat: "My dear Mr. Garavel, if you are so blamed sure that I did all these things why did you come to see me" "It was to learn if she spoke the truth." Oh, we're married, right enough. And you'll have some difficulty in breaking it up before I get out." "You expect, then, to prove your innocence easily?" "But I hear there are other serious charges." "It is quite the same with them." "But support you should not clear yourself of this-murder. Would you wish to drag down my daughter's name? "Of course not." "I understand you have not spoken of this marriage. Perhaps you might consent to remain silent. If by any chance you should be convicted of guilt what satisfaction could you derive from insuring me and mine?" "None at all, sir." "I am rich." Garavel went on meaningly. "If you are acquitted I might perhaps arrange amply for your future—upon conditions." "In other words, if I am to be banged or shot or whatever it is they do to people down here you'll expect me to keep my mouth shut on general principles, and if I am acquitted you'll pay me, well to disappear. Is that it? Well, there is some family pride to that." He laughed lightly. "My political future may depend upon it." "If I can help you in that way I'll gladly keep silent as long as you wish, but I don't think I care to make my further terms." "Make sure of this," snapped the father—"your marriage will be annulled, no matter what you prove or fall to prove. Already Chiquita is repentant, and I shall not rest until she is free. You have done me a great injury, and I shall not forget it." on the following morning the leading American attorney of the city called at the jail announcing that he had been retained as counsel, but refusing to tell who had employed him. Supposing, of course, that he had been sent by friends who wished no publicity in the matter, Kirk did not press him for information. Together they outfitted their defense as best they could. With characteristic optimism Kirk insisted upon treating the charge against him as of little consequence, and it was not until he had undergone his preliminary hearing that he fully realized the gravity of his situation. To him, unspeakable indignation, the officer who had discovered Cortlandt's body sword that he had seen the deceased pass him shortly before the time of his death, evidently taking a walk along the water's edge for relief from the heat, and that immediately afterward, perhaps a minute or so, the prisoner had also passed, going in the same direction! There was a street light close by, he said, and there could be no possible mistake as to Anthony's identity. A few moments later there had been a pistol shot, muted, but unmistakable, and the policeman had hastened in the direction from which it came. The prisoner had appeared suddenly out of the darkness and hurried past. In the politest manner possible, the witness declared, he had questioned him regarding the shot, but Mr. Anthony had neither stopped nor answered. On the contrary, he had broken into a run. The officer had considered this strange behavior, but, being at all times most respectful toward Americans, he had made no effort to detain him. Passing on, he had found the body of the dead man. A receiver was beside it. When this amazing testimony was translated to Kirk he was astounded, but his indignation was as nothing to that which swept over him when a servant in the Alfaroz household swore to having actually witnessed the murder. This follow declared that he had been troubled greatly with a toothache. Toward morning of the night in question, two restless for sleep, he had gone out upon the sea wall. Even now his face was swollen, and he made a determined effort to show the court the particular tooth which had made him an unwilling beholder of the tragedy. Overcome by exhaustion, he had fallen asleep after a time, and he was awakened by the sounds of a quarrel. On opening his eyes he saw two Americans, one of whom was Senior Cortlandt, and the other Kirk Anthony. Being utterly ignorant of their language, he had no means of knowing what was said, nor did he consider the altercation serious until the large man shot the Senior Cortlandt. Then, being terror stricken at what he had beheld, he had run away, entirely forgetting his toothache, which was quite gone. That was all he knew of the matter. He recognized Anthony as the man who had done the shooting. He was troubled greatly with toothaches. Wade was called next and told the story of that damning incident at the supper party, being corroborated by the others. Then there were several witnesses who aware to inconsequent things. For once in his careless life the young man realized that he was face to face with something bigger and stronger than his own determination, and it dummed him. He began to see that he had underestimated these foreigners, for it seemed an easy matter to convict an innocent man in these Central American courts. Suddenly he decided to entitle for Darywin K. Anthony—the one man who was strong enough to save him. When it came time for him to speak, he told a straight story about his own actions on that night, and he was corroborated by Allen; but he knew that those words had little weight against that, other testimony. Of course, he was expanded for total. Anson, the lawyer, gave him a ray of encouragement as he left. "Don't go too much on this hearing," he said. "I think we'll pull you out all right." "You think! I dare say Bamon Alfaro can get a dozen men to peruse themselves as easily as he got those two." "Exactly. But I have a little coup that I intend to spring at the right moment." "For heaven's sake, tell me what it in!" "I'm sorry, but I can't just yet. In the first place, one must handle these people exactly right or they explode." "But give me an idea at least. I'm really interested in the outcome of this case, you know." Anson smiled. "Of course you are, and I'll tell you as soon as I can, but not now." "These Spiggottes would enjoy standing me up against a wall with my head in a rage. They'd make it a holiday and ring all the bells in town." "I can't assure you that it isn't serious." Anson acknowledged gravely, "for it is. Any time an American goes to court in this country it is serious. But that doesn't mean that we'll lose." "You may be a good lawyer," said Kirk ruefully, "but you're a blamed poor comforter. I—I wish my dad was here. He'd fix it. He wouldn't let 'em convict me. He's great, my dad is like can sweat like the devil. I like him better than any man I've ever met. Anson." He wrote a lengthy cablegraph, which the lawyer, with a peculiar smile, agreed to dispatch at once. He spent a sleepless night. In the morning a message came signed by Copley—Kirk's heart leaped at the familiar name—saying that Darwin K. Anthony had left Albany for the west on Sunday night and could not be located for a few days. "He was never gone when I needed money," the son mused. "He'll be worried when he hears about this, and he has enough to worry him as it is. I'm mighty sorry, but I simply must have him." Anson brought in the day's papers, which alluded, as usual, to Cortlandt's death as a murder, and printed their customary nonstandard stories, even to a reach of all that had occurred at the stag supper. This in particular made Kik write, knowing as he did that it would reach the eyes of his newly made wife. He also wondered vaguely how Edith Cortlandt was bearing up under all this notoriety. The lawyer brought the further news that Allan was in captivity as an accessory to the crime and that honeyson forth Kik need expect but few visitors. Somebody, probably Ramon Alfarez, had induced the officials to treat their prisoner with special severity. During the days which followed, Kirk suffered more than he chose to confess even to his attorney. In the first place, it was hard to be denied all knowledge of what was going on — Anson would tell him little, except that he was working every day—and then, too, the long hours of solitude gnawed at his self control. Runnels managed to see him once or twice, reporting that, so far as he could learn, Chiquita had disappeared. He took a message from Kirk to her, but brought back word that he could not deliver it. It was on Sunday, a week after his arrest, that Edith Cortlandt came to Kirk. He was surprised to see the ravages that this short time had made in her, for she was pale and drawn and weary, looking, as if from sheepsliness. Strange to say, these marks of suffering did not detract from her appearance, but rather enhanced her pulse and distinction. "I am awfully glad to see you, Mrs. Cortlandt," he said as she extended her hand. "But do you think it was wise for you to come?" She shrugged. "People can say no more than they have already said. My name is on every tongue, and a little more good can make matters no worse. I had to come. I just couldn't stay away. I wonder if you can realize what I have been through." "It must have been terrible," he said gently. "Yes, I have paid. It seems to me that I have paid for everything I ever did. These newspaper stories nearly killed me, but it wasn't that so much as the thought that you were suffering for my nets." "I'm very sorry. You never thought for a moment that I did what they claim?" "No, no. It has all been a mistake from the first. I was sure of that." "You heard what these two men testified?" "Bah! That is Ramon Alfaroza. But he can do nothing. You will forgive me for what I said that night at the hotel, won't you? I didn't really mean to injure you, Kirk, but I was half hysterical. I had suffered so these last few months that I was ready to do anything I never dreamed there was a way out of my misery, a way so close at hand. But somehow, even before General Alfaroza's voice on the phone told me what had happened, I knew, and I—I felt"— "I know you had a great deal to put up with," he said, "but for both our sakes I wish it had come in some other way." "Oh, I don't care," she cried recklessly. "The one thing I can grasp in all this turnover, the one thing that rings in my cars every moment, is that I am free, free! That is all that matters to me. You showed your loyalty to Stephen more than once, and, though your scruples angered me, I honor you for them now." "Your husband's death can make no difference with us, Mrs. Cortlandt," he said gravely. "We have talked openly before, and there is no need to do otherwise now. You mean by that that you don't care for me, but I know better. I believe there is a love so strong that it must Bernard "I am free, free!" und an answer. Although you may not care for me now as you care for—some one else—I know that I can make you forget her and put me in her place. I can help you, oh, so much!" "Wait!" be sadly harsh. "You force me to break my word. I don't want to tell you this, but—I am married." "You—never told me that! It was some mund college prank, I suppose." "No, no. I married Gertrudis Garavel that night at the Tiroll." "Oh, that can't be. That was the night of the dance. Why didn't you tell me? Why isn't she here? Why does she leave you alone? No, no! You hardly know each other. Why she's not old enough to know her own mind?" "But I know my mind, and I love her." Her white hands strained at each other as she steadied her shaking voice. "Love," she cried. "You don't know what love means, nor does she. She can't know, or she'd be here. She'd have this prison torn block from block." "You don't know what you're saying. You're hysterical, Mrs. Cortlandt. I love Gertrudis so deeply that there no room in me for anything else and never will be. Heaven only knows what they have made her believe about me, but I don't care. I'll upset this little plot of Alfarez, and when she learns the truth she will come back again." "This little plot." Edith cried in distraction. "And I suppose you wish me to give you back to her? But I won't help her. I'm not that sort. I am a selfish woman. I've always been selfish because I've never had anybody to work for. But I have it in me to be generous." "I'm sorry," he said. "You have suffered, I know. Don't trouble any more about me—please." "Oh, I'd rather face the gallows as you face it than what is before me, and I'm not sure I could help you, after all. You are in Latin America now, remember, and your enemies are strong." "I am Darwin K. Anthony's son, he protested. 'He won't allow it.'" "Bah! He is an American, and these are Spanish people. You have seen how they like us, and you have seen what Alfarez can do. He's rich, and he'll perjure more witnesses; he'll manipulate the court with his money. Yes, and I'd rather he succeeded than see you—no, no! What am I saying? Let me go, let me get away from here!" She broke down and wobbed out into the corridor. On the same afternoon Mr. Clifford, accompanied by Anson, the lawyer, took the 5:20 train for Colon. As soon as he arrived he called up Colonel Johnson, to request that the commissioner's motorcar should, without fall, await him at 10 o'clock sharp on the next morning, with an open track ahead of it. Strangely enough, the colonel accrued very readily. [TO BE CONTINUED.] Where He Could Be Found. It is said that once in Washington at the old Baltimore and Ohio railroad station a man was looking for Abraham Lincoln. An attendant pointed the then lad. Tad out to him, saying that the lad ought to be able to say where his father was. Tad said: "No, sir, I can't go and find father for you. He told me to stay right here. But if you'll go out there-"pointing to the platform-"and see a man helping somebody--that's him."-Louisville Times. Tipping the Attache. A good story of the younger days of Sir Herbert F. H. Jerningham is told in the London Mail. As an attache and feeling very pleased with himself, as he records, he was once told that he was wanted in the anemion of our embassy at Paris. There an old man addressed him as a "clerk" and demanded a passport to Russia. When he received it he handed Sir Hubert half a crown, saying: "It's for you, you know. I know what clerks are. Bless you, they do like an occasional tip." Buyers Are the People Who Read Advertisements. They Know Their Wants, but Want to Know Where to Supply Them. THERE IS NEWS IN ADVERTISING COLUMNS THAT BUYERS ARE LOOKING FOR. GOV.UK THE LIBERIAN GOVERNMENT. Its Officials Speak Plainly. Monrovia, Liberia, June 16, 1914. Mr. Editor: Fifty-four immigrants arrived at Monrovia a few days ago from Live Oak, Florida, whose coming was a complete surprise to the Government of Liberia. President Howard learns from these people that they came out here on the representations of one Harrison C. Powell, a Liberian citizen now in New York City, who posts as his nephew or a near relative of his. It is also learned that Mr. Powell is regaling himself as an authorized immigration agent for Liberia, giving assurances to persons that he has made every arrangement with the Liberian Government for their reception and comfort, and all that is necessary for them to do is to manage to get here. These representations are absolutely false and grossly misleading, and in view of the disappointments and serious discomforts which may follow to persons placing, belief in them, the President feels compelled to state that Mr. Powell is not a relative of Iris, nor does he represent the Government of Liberia in any capacity whatsoever. About three years ago the Government of Liberia assisted Mr. Powell to the extent of reaching Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, for the purpose of completing an engineering course, but for some unknown reason he soon left Tuskegee which time the Government has been in complete ignorance of Powell's operations. The Government of Liberia has no immigration agent in the United States, and the President desires to make it known, through this medium, that no credence whatever should be placed in the representations of Harrison C. Powell. Immigrants of respectable habits and sterling character are desired by Liberia, but before they think of coming out here it is necessary that official information of this intention should be had by the Government of Liberia so that necessary preparations may be made for the reception and disposal of such immigrants. It is pleasing to state that these fifty-four immigrants have been cordially received and are satisfied with what they have seen. Their needs have been amply supplied and preparations are now being made for their allotments of land. There is every reason to believe that they will have no cause to regret the change they have made. The President will be highly gratified if you can give publicity to this communication through the columns of your valuable paper. Very respectfully yours, WALTER F. WALKER. Secretary to the President --- National Association of Teachers and Colored Schools to Meet in Savannah.

Quarter Mile Runner Representing the University of Chicago Runs Event in Fastest Time Known—The Athletic Surprise of the Year. Dayton, Ohio, July 10. A new era in Chicago's track athletics was marked Saturday at Dayton, Ohio, when Coach Charlie Wilson's perfectly balanced Illinois Athletic Club team took first honors in the Central A. A. V. championships. This has been a bad year for champions in every division of sport, and the Tricolor men preceded to demonstrate that track was to be no exception to the rule. Abide from the victory of the I. A. C. the University of Chicago sprung one of the greatest surprises in years. In Binga Dismond, the dash artist, Coach Stagg has the most valuable quarter-mile material the West has ever seen. This does not even exclude the famous Ira Davenport, for Dismond ran his race on a straightaway track in 1915, a mark which has not even been approached in this district. Dismond is an Eastern man and has been a scratch performer in the Metropolitan A. A. division for several years. This was his second race under Maroon colors. ten years, in the direction of building up a strong and useful Teachers' Association. From Big Stone Gap (Va.) Big Stone Gap, Va., July 6, 11 Editor, PLANET. Richmond, Va.

Thursday night was installation of officers of Mt. Olive Lodge, No. 185, so we decided to have a public service which was grand indeed. It was followed by a free banquet given in honor of the newly elected officers by the Pythians of Big Stone Gap, where between 125 and 150 persons were invited and enjoined themselves, for which the half can't be told. The program was rendered at the M. E. Church and consisted of vocal, violin' and cornet solos and quartetettes rendered by home talents which was excellent from start to finish. An address was delivered by Sir H. Martin, Subject, "True Service to Others and Its Reward." His words were convincing and showed that it was not positions that made it lowered men but character. All were pleased with his remarks. As he was a delegate to the Grand Lodge held at Richmond, June 10th to 15th, he told in a convincing form of his trip and how he was royally entertained during its sessions and of meeting some of the wealthiest and brainstest Negroes in the Union. He spoke in the highest in regard to the Negroes in the city of Richmond, how they were moving forward along all lines he was much impressed with the Mechanics' Savings Bank and said that those black boys look good to him peeping through those from bars. Since our last letter we mention a few visitors to our little town, Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Morris from Jonesville, Va., also Mr. Alexander Martin came up and took in the Fourth of July and several others from near by towns.

Coming from behind in the final spurt he brushed past the entire field, winning with an easy stride, holding the crowd breathless no sensational was his work. He was the only Maroon athlete to get placed, and in so doing he has placed Chicago University in fourth place, tied with Wisconsin.

In the presence of the officials who have been working on the case he broke down and admitted that he had committed the crime. Prosecutor Samuel A. Athlinson refused to give out the details of the confession made in the county fall at Mount Holly and would only announce to those waiting for the conference to close that Murphy had confessed. Detective Parker said that Murphy had completely broken down when he was shown how he had died to the officials and admitted that he had slain his rival as he was leaving the hono of the young man's fiancee late Saturday night. Just what led up to the confession cannot be told, although the officials and detectives said that when Murphy met George Fisher he had the gun in his hands and had just come from killing Herman Fisher. It was learned from those at the jail that the confession was made that Murphy had admitted he had shot Fisher because he was guilty of him, because he had taken his place in the affections of Ida Wilhelm, the eighteen-year-old fiancee of Herman. It was also said that the confession had come at a time when the officers were about to ask George Fisher why his statements regarding the movements of Murphy did not tally with those of others, and that George would be asked to verify some of the statements he had made. Sheriff Jordan and Prosecutor Atkinson went over the whole situation again and found that Murphy's statements were untrue. Returning to the fall, Sheriff Jordan went to see Murphy in his cell and gave him the result of the investigation and said: "Murphy, you have left. Think over this awful crime. Tell us the whole truth." In a few minutes came the surprise of the case. Murphy, apparently affected by the sheriff's arousal, called one of the fallatties to come to him. He was trembling like a leaf, but was prepared to kiss. He said that if they would send for Prosecutor Atkinson he would tell them the whole story, which he did. He told them that he went out on Saturday night for the purpose of killing Fisher after he knew that he had an affection for the Wilhelm that he could not shake. He took with him a suitcase and the gun that is now in the prosecutor's possession, using the suitcase to conceal him from any one who might pass that way before Fisher came aloud. For an aid sur la table in ambush waiting for the opportunity that he seized later to fire two loads of shot into Fisher's body. Also, he knew that Fisher would pass this way. After firing the shots, he cut across the fields to his home and was on his way there when George Fisher was him. At that time he was carrying by his side the gun which he been used for the murder, but your Fisher was so excited at having seized a suspicious character, and so fearful of the safety of Herman, that he tried to see the weapon. Murphy let at the house when he went to get a revolver before accompanying the officer. This is as far as the officers would go with the details of the confession, and they would not ever make public the motive which Murray has given them for the crime. The fact that he was jealous of Herman Fisher is believed to be the real motive. WOMAN'S MURDERER HANGED Barber Who Committed Bigamy and Killed Second Wife, Pays Penalty. James Linzi, also known as Librizal, a barber, was hauled in the Buck's county jail at Doylestown, Pa. Tuesday for the murder, in February, 1913, of Ida Frye, who had married him without knowing that he had a wife living. The crime was committed at Edison when the Doylestown woman discovered that she was not Linzi's legal wife and was about to leave him: The man shot her and then tried to commit suicide.

The Tavistock, the bachelors' hotel in Corent Garden, is probably the only place in London where a man must drink his "dish" of tea after the fashion of a century and more ago.

Hans received an urgent invitation to attend a small party in a neighbouring town. Mindful of his responsible position in the concert, he instructed for a long time before neapelling, but he was an easy going, pleasure loving soul, and an idea dawned on him—he would send a substitute to the concert in his place. For the position of substitute he picked up a friend who could play the tronebone, but Hans assumed him that skill was not necessary. It would be enough if he should puff out his cheeks and move the slide in perfect time with the other tronebone player. Then Hans left him in charge of the instrument and warranted for the train. The substitute went to the ball. The overture began. After a wild burst of music and a crash of drums came deadly silence. The francht conductor stared at the substitute and waved his baton. Every head in the orchestra turned to see what was the trouble. But not a sound came from the puffing, pumping trombone players. The other man also had sent a substitute.

A successful agricultural show is carried on each year in a certain village in the south of Ireland. Among the many competitions for the encouragement of thrift and cleanliness is one for the best turnout donkey and cart. The prize for this was usually won by the local doctor or the local solicitor. After one year show the farmers and working classes protected that it was not quite fair to expect their hardly used animals to compete successfully with the well cared for and well groomed animals of those who generally won the prize. In consequence of this protest the following proviso in connection with this competition appeared in the show placard for the following years: "All legal and medical donkeys excluded." An Idea In Gartera. Kant, the German metaphysician, stands at the head of the class of truly great countries. De Quinney, the Englishman of letters, took great delight in making a close study of this queer philosopher. One of Kant's hobbies in the art of taking care of himself was to avoid gatters. He permitted no ligature to be placed on any part of his body, fearing to hinder in the slightest degree the circulation of the blood. He found it necessary at the same time to keep up his stockings. Accordingly he had loops attached to them, and outside each hip he wore a contrivance that may be called a box windlass. These affairs somewhat resembled an angler's reel with a spring, which secured the line at any given point. The idea of this grotesque fancy so tickled De Quincey that he often lingered on the old sight it must have been to observe the master "paying out the cable" or "hauling in the slack" by this curious machinery.—Chicago Record-Herald. Nothing Happened. Joseph Pennell told a Whistler story in Boston apropos of the famous "Joconde" which was recently returned to the Louvre. "Whistler, when an art student," said Mr. Pennell, "used to copy celebrated paintings in the Louvre. I found him there one day hard at work on a copy of 'La Joconde.'" "You're done a fine thing there," I remarked, for his copy was a good 'one. "Yes." Whistler agreed, "I am pleased with it," and then, in his whimical way, he added: "I wonder what they'll do with the poor old original now." Ionorant of Engineers A friend of Mr. Edison, who, by the way, is very fond of children, tells of an occasion when, while visiting a Brooklyn family, the great man endowed to amuse the seven-year-old son by drawing him pictures of various objects. Finally the youngster desired that Edison should draw an engine, a request that it would prompt met. Thinking that it would please the child to have an elaborate design, Edison added two or three extra smokestacks and The boy examined the production very critically, not, to say, carefully. He recalled it with this statement: "I'm afraid you don't know very much about engines. Mr. Edison. Engines may have been that way in your time, but they've changed a whole lot since New York Post. HUERTA RULE NEARING END It Is Said Dictator Will Quit in a Few Days. SENOS HIS FAMILY AWAY Rebella Are Preparing to Advance on Mexico City, While Diplomats Are Working Hard to Prevent Fighting The state department in Washington has received notice that the resignation of Hirta was certain with in a day or so. It told his family he left Mexico City and will embark for Europe. This occurred after a conference between Secretary of State Bryan and Minister Sánchez of Chile. Although the resignation of General Hirta is commonly exported by the state department and Washington diplomats to occur at any moment the Constitution is unaffected by the news, are preparing their military campaign on Mexico City. Official diplomatic revealed that General Villa, with Honor men, was ready for a rapid advance on the Mexican capital and that General Oregón's forces in Guihualara were prepared to sweep enward within a two day Although official have not been given much to provision, they now firmly believe the Constitutionalists will be in Mexico City within two or three weeks, regardless of what the Huerta government may do. Diplomats are working hard to prevent fighting in the capital and still hope that the transfer of power to the Constitutionalists may be effected without further blood-bred. General Huerta's reclamation, it is realised, would not immediately compose the situation, but it would make possible parishes with the Constitutionalists' trust, which a change of government could be accomplished peacefully. The numerous official advisers say Hungaria would reside in a day of two, including messages from the Brazilian minister in Mexico City and other diplomats, have rated the exit of the official Washington that his exit also would mean his flight from the country. Some Constitutionalists think the will of any way of Salma Cruz, a Pacific coast town, others, among them Fermín Solá, and some which are not all administrative officials, are not at all constituent of Huerita be ready to abolish. They have that the departure of the city means only that the proposition for the private measure such as a bribery of Federal force which would command Haiti, Z. Zeran, Cataratas, conditional measures has received instruction which to draft a formal reply to the motion of the legislators, which proposed internal references between the Constitutionalists and the Huerita electors for the settlement of internal questions. The Constitutionalist general has expressed their disapproval of the plan, and Zeran's instructions, it is understood, are to reject the invitation. Carranza Rejecta Peace. Two disturbing developments in the Mexican situation were received in Washington. General Antonio Carranza, "first chief of the Constitutional Affairs, for mail" method the United States government that would engage in no mediation whatever with the Huerta delegates, and would accept only absoluteurrender. Almost at the same time world came from authentic source in Mexico City that unless the contending factions reached a quick agreement Francis Carranza, the new minister of foreign affairs, would sever his connection with the administration. Although the refusal of Carranza to enter upon any mediation was not unexpected, his announcement puts an end definitely to may hope that remained of settling Mexico's internal problem by diplomacy. It had been expected that pressure would be brought upon him to treat in some manner with the Federal, and efforts to this end may yet be made. Carranza. It was declared, intended to follow to the end the "plan of Goa dakapo", which precludes for military occupation of the capital.

BENJAMIN FREDERICK A penny saved is a penny earned Benjamin Franklin THESE are economic birds which every housekeeper should be come familiar with, for wheth or she does all of her own work or has an assistant the efficient housewife should realize that system and management, are the two watch words which bring her greatest rewards. One systematic housewife has a kitchen calendar which she makes her self each year early in December until which she claims is invaluable. She prepares 325 sheets of heavy paper, so that it does not tear easily. One side each from the top of the paper on each side a hole is punctured through this pencil is run so that the pages turn easily. Each page is dated Immediately. Order the date every Monday has "washing" written, Tuesday "washing" Wednesday "silver and brass" cleaned "Thursday" "cleaning bedrooms" and "bathrooms" Friday "cleaning living rooms and dining room" and Saturday "cleaning kitchen counter, bedside, etc." This pretty indicates the main line of the week's work. The rest of the page is blank, so that a good blake space is left for incidental happenings. If there is to be a dinner Wednesday for instance, it is put down, with the number of guests invited. Then the menu is planned and written in, and sufficient space is left at the bottom for negotiations of purchases that are useful. This particular housewife serves that her homemade kitchen calendar sets her tepper than any can buy because it is absolutely individual. Often good recipes are jotted down, and at the end of the year, when it is time to hang up the new calendar these are capped off and put in the recipe division of the card catalogue. One of the cardinal principles of the efficient housewife is to concentrate her thought on the work of the hear and not get mental energy on the innumerable tasks which the day holds for her. There is the story of the woman who lamented: "Here's Monday and all the washing's got to be done! Tuesday the morning! Wednesday, the baking Godsness, half the week's gone and no a thing done yet." One truly efficient little woman worked now she could give so many dollars to charity. It apparently, with no trouble and such highest achievement on her own task. She smiled wisely and said, "I all ways plan ahead, but I never worry ahead." If she is to give a dinner Thursday, for instance, the menu is prepared and the main ordering done Tuesday. She is fortunate in having a butcher she can trust, so that her meats are ordered then for delivery Thursday. Wednesday she prepares the soup stock. Then she books over her them, dishes and silver and has everything in readiness to set the table the next afternoon. Early Thursday morning she is out, completing her ordering, and by noon everything is ready for the actual cooking. Directly after them the table is arranged, and then she rests for an hour or two. She has even been known to go to a club meeting or a bachelor party, much to the arrangement of friends who know her plans for the evening. Her dinners are always successful, for the guests are sure to find an enthusiastic welcome, which makes them feel that they are really wanted, and that there has been no trouble or fuss in preparing for them. A NURSERY NECESSITY. How to Make a Useful Gift For the Baby. It's rather a proposition to know just what to get for the new babies of our numerous friends. Usually the mites are deluged with gold pins enough to keep their clothes hanging together for years, even should all the stitches drop out, and the battles and the pow-er puffs and the duplicates upon duplicates of many things would keep an orphanage going for some time. But, strange to say, few people think of sending those brand new babies nice little skirts for their small pillows. Occasionally an utterly impossible skirt beribboned and beribbled out of recognition, and certainly out of any comfort for the downy head, makes its appearance on the scene, propelled there by an enthusiastic spinner who never put a baby to sleep in her life. But the skirts that are both pretty and serviceable and restful aren't thought of. Do not have the material too thin for these sips, or they will not stand the frequent washing required for all of baby's linen. Buttie is too thin, and mushin is too coarse. A fine quality of linen, medium weight, is best. Hemstitch the hem and embroider on the end of the upper side of the case (not the center where the baby's head is to lie a pretty conventional wreath that will encircle the tiny monogram of the baby, or at least the initial of its last name). Heally beautiful hand embroidered sips can be obtained at the nearest very moderate prices, and one can very easily place upon them the monogram, for which a space is usually left. How to Save on Gloves and Shoes. An economical idea is to get all one's gloves and one's hose of the same make, style and price, so when one of the pair gives out through accident you can replenish or remate the good one left with the surviving member of another pair. It sounds far too simple to be the great saying that it is, but if one tries it one will at once be addicted to the habit. HOW TO REMOVE CREASE SPOTS FROM A GOWN. If you have a cloth gown which has been spotted with grease in my way, these spots can be removed by working at them from the back—in other words, from the wrong side of the dress material. Rub into each spot all the French chalk that it will retain and let it stay all night. Then toy blotting or tissue paper over the chalk and press with a warm iron. The grease will begin to draw out on to the latter or tissue paper. This must be changed as the grease appears. The minute the grease is visible on the blotter or tissue paper the spotted section must turn off and fresh, clean itself as substituted. When a piece of the grouse has been drawn up, so that the blotter is no longer soiled when the iron is placed over the spots, then brush off all the chalk, and the spike will probably have disappeared. There may remain, however, of the right side a slight stain, which is not really grouse, but only adherent dust. This should then be sponged off with ammonia, and it will be found all traces of grouse will have vanished. FOR 'THE FASTIDIOUS How to Use Some Toilet Articles With Success and Satisfaction. For those who like to spray the hair with perfume, it is best to choose a delicate flake like lily of the valley or violet, and to tough toilet waters may be bad in the middle grades, these are not prepared for spraying the hair.

A man on his first trip into the winds and mornings of an unknown country with the United States drainage engineers was struck by a unique method they had to escape from the attack of wasps and hornetes. The country traversed, is covered with thick underground, and a path has to be cut through this all along the line. So when a lice wrap nest is reached there is very little warning, sometimes the axenen cutting into a big one with their machets. The person relating this experience was some sixty feet behind the axmen with the instrument when all at once the two axmen dropped in their trucks as if they had been struck by a thunderbolt. The man behind and the two chainmen did likewise. While they were lying prone on the grass and wet marsh they heard what sounded like bullets roaring over their heads. One after the other they came with angry zips. When things had quieted down a bit work was continued, and the new man found that to escape from wasps or horrors the thing to do was to drop instanter. The insects seem to be so mad that they fly in straight lines along a level and do not have time to hunt around for you. It is said that hornets are not so prone to follow this rule as wasps, but the wasps never vary. Men have been stung to death by hornets, and hornets and mules likewise. Quite 80. Lydia.

Mrs. Florence Carman, wife of Edwin Sarman, a physician of Freeport L. L. was arrested for the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey. Mrs. Bailey, wife of a wealthy New York hat manufacturer, was shot while in Dr. Carman's office a week ago. Her assassin put a hand through a window and fired one shot from a pistol. The bullet penetrated Mrs. Bailey's lung. The arrest of Mrs. Carman, who has a daughter twelve years old, followed the conclusion of the ingestion into the death of Mrs. Bailey. She was taken into custody at her home. The warrant for Mrs. Varaman's arrest was issued by acting Coroner Norton. The district attorney, Lewish J. Smith; Shilim; Pettitt Peittt and several officers wont to the Carman home with the warrant. Mrs. Carman, who expected the action, was in conference with her husband and George M. Levy, her attorney. She accepted the situation with the same courage that has marked her every action since the day of the murder. Before Mrs. Carman was taken to the Minneapolis jail in Sheriff Pettitt's motor car, she was arranged before Coroner Norton, who held a special session of his court in the Carman residence. Lawyer Levy entered a plea of net guilty for his client. Nearly Lynch Suffranette A militant "fury" narrowly escaped being lynched after she had made a personal attack upon King George in Perth, Scotland. While the king was riding through the city the woman, with a suffrage banner in her hand, dashed from the police lines and leaped upon the running board, shouting: "You must stop forcible feeding; we will tolerate it no longer." The woman then tried to open the door of the auto automobile to get at the king, but was unable to do so, and before she could be seized, she had smashed the glass and was trying to unlock the door from the inside. Policemen dragged her from the automobile, but the crowd surged forth. Mounted policemen with riot sticks beat off the infiltrated Scots and probably slaved the woman's life. Children see Kai Ying Pinnah. Because of his business troubles, Charles Snyder, a contractor of Egypt, rear Allentown, Pa., aged forty years, hanged himself in a cement mill at that place. Snyder fastened a rope to the shafing, climbed on top of the machinery, fastened the rope about his neck and jumped. Several children saw him make the preparations and called for help, but before it arrived Snyder was dead. His brother, Lewis F. Snyder, of Sleggfried, was murdered by an employo last winter. Six Killed While Singing Old Hymn Six persons returning from a Sunday school picnic were killed when the buckboard of the wagon on which they were riding was hit by a freight train on the Boston & Maine railroad near Rochester, N. J. The party of sixteen was singing "Noear, My God, to Thee," as their wagonumbled down the road toward the tracks and the voices drowned out the noise of the train. The dead wore all between fourteen and eighteen years of age. Risks Life to Save Wife. Hanging by one hand to the sill of a third-story window in his burning home in Brooklyn, John Sarksen supported his wife with the other arm until the amnesiac reached him. Then he and the woman fell. Mrs. Sarken was caught in the street below by men who had been watching Sarken's endeavors to save his wife, but Sarken suffered a fractured skull anis believed to be dying. Boys' Fall to Death in Creek George W. Hennling and Harry J. Wertz, each twelve years old, were drowned near Junction, Pa. They were crossing a plank walk across Swatara creek, when the timber slipped and both were thrown into nine feet of water. The bodies were recovered. Greece Rays For Wareables The battleships Idaho and Mississippi were formally sold to Greece. Secretary Daniols got a check for $11,355,276.96 for them. This was their original cost. Pulmotor Saves Life of Woman. The life of Mr. Robert Senft, of York, Pa., was saved from asphyxiation at her home. by the use of a pulmotor. Her husband found his wife gradually swooning away and he immediately summoned the pulmotor from the gas company, and after several tanks of oxygen were used she was restored. JUSTICE LURTON DIES SUDDENLY His Wife and Son Were at Bedside When He Died—Was on the Bench Four Years. Associate Justice Horace Harmon Lurton, of the United States supreme court, died suddenly at a hotel in Atlantic City, N. J., from heart failure, superinduced by cardiac asthma. He was seventy years old. For a year or more Justice Lurton's condition had been serious, but he insisted upon performing his duties until last December, when he was compelled to give up and go to Florida with his family. At that time it was reported that he would resign, but after fighting for health in the south until April, he returned to Washington and resumed his place on the bench to take an active part in one of the busiest sessions in the court's history. The court adjourned June 22 for the summer after disposing or a record number of cases, many of them of great importance, and ten days ago Justice Lurton went to the seashore with his family, hoping to gain some strength in the salt air. The justice was in his usual health before retiring on Saturday night and had taken his customary evening outing on the boardwalk. Shortly after midnight he complained of feeling ill, and although his physician, Dr. Ruffin, who arrived from Washington, was immediately summoned, Justice Lurton died. His wife and son, Horace Lurton, Jr., of Nashville, Tennessee, were at his bedside. The body will be taken to Clarksville, Tennessee, for interment. It was at Clarksville that Justice Lurton began the practice of law and lived for twenty years. The funeral services will be held there. Justice Lutton had seen but little more than four years' service on the supreme court bench. Although a Democrat, he was appointed by President Taft, who had been associated with him in the circuit court of appeals for the sixth circuit and had a high opinion of his judicial ability and integrity. Train Robbers Take Prisoner Two masked men hold up the "Katy Flyer," on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad, near Matson, sixty miles northwest of St. Louis, captured a track walker, who surprised them as they were robbing the train, and took him away with them. This was learned from members of the train crew. The tale of the robbery was told by A. L. Mudd, conductor of the train, and by John Snadley, engineer. The train, which left St. Louis for Texas, stopped at Matson, on the north bank of the Missouri river. There the bandits are supposed to have boarded the train. After the train had gone a short distance the engineman heard a noise behind him, and, turning, saw a man with two revolvers levelled at him. The bandits made no effort to molest the passengers, but warned them to keep their heads inside the windows. So far as known nothing was taken except the contents of the express safe. Nahum T. Brown, general agent in St. Louis, of the American Express company, said there was no shipment of money in the express safe, but that there were a few packages of jewelry, also of which he would not estimate. --- Needle Comes Out In 36 Years. To undoake the strange experience of having a needle travelling through her body for thirty-six years and then have it make its reappearance from her shoulder and be removed without any pain, was the remarkable fortune of Mrs. Lester E. Dreese, of Selinsgrove, Pa. When Mrs. Dreese was six years old, and just learning to use, she accidentally swallowed the needle. Physicians wer unable to locate it, and as the child suffered no inconvenience at the time, no further efforts were made to remove it. For the past several months Mrs. Dreese had had strange pain in her shoulder. She imagined it was rheumatism, but it changed into an itching sensation, and when Mrs. Dreese rose Sunday her night dress caught on the point of the needle, protruding from her shoulder. Her husband removed the needle with little effort, and the "rheumatism" has since disappeared. : Nissa of Dunant Drowne Nancy Carpenter, the two-year-old niece of United States Senator Henry A. Dupont, of Delaware, was drowned in a pool on the estate of another uncle, Pierre F. Dupont, at Kennett Square, Pa., near Wilmington. The child was the daughter of R. R. M. Carpenter, of Mont Channon, Del., and with her mother was staying at the Dupont country place. The narcissist left the child near the edge of the pond to get bathing suits for herself and the child, intending to take the little girl into the water. When she returned the child was missing. Employees on the place at once were called and a search for the child was made. The baby's mother finally found her in the pool at a spot only a few feet deep. The child had been in the water only five minutes, and physicians and pulmotor were sent for. Efforts to resuscitate her were unavailing. Girl Shot at Paper; Hit Man. John A.

By a vote of 7 to 4 the senate committee on banking and currency decided to report unfavorably the nomination of Thomas L. Jones, of Chico, go as a member of the federal reserve board. Senators Pomerene, Hollis, Shaf froth and Lee, of Maryland, voted to report Jones' nomination favorably Senators Hitchcock and Reed joined with the five Republicans of the committee in opposing confirmation. Senator Owen, Democrat, the chairman, was absent. The committee agreed to postpone indefinitely action on the nomination of Paul M. Warburg to be a member of the board, pending Warburg's final decision concerning his appearance before the committee. --- Big Corn Yield is Crop showing. Thirty million bushels of what were added to the prospects of the crop during June by the excellent weather conditions, making the forecast of the crop, as announced by the department of agriculture, 330,000,000 bushels, a new record. The average planted to corn this year was only slightly less than that of last year, while the condition of that crop was one per cent better than the ten-year July 1 average condition, making the prospects good for a crop estimated at 2,865,000,000 bushels. That would be better than the average for five years. A 200,000,000 pound decrease in the tobacco crop is indicated, a total crop of 733,000,000 pounds being estimated. Meat Prices to Soar. Meat prices will rise above the record figures of recent years despite the huge grain crop, Chicago packing house representatives have asserted. They say that the present scarcity of cattle and the effect of the dry weather on grazing lands will more than offset the enormous grain yield. A beef price of 16 cents to the butcher was predicted as an early possibility, and it was pointed out by one of the packing house men that cattle even now are higher than for some time. Scarcity of grassed cattle was referred to as one cause for the predicted advance. Burglar Tran Killa Box The authorities in Johnstown, Pa., were notled of the death at Harnesboro, Pa., of Thomas Cuchran, aged eight years, as the result of a burglar trap. According to the story told to the coroner, A. W. Lawson, a merchant, who had been robbed recently, so plaged a loaded shotgun that when a door leading from the cellar to the store was opened the gun would be discharged. The boy's body was found just outside the door, with a heavy charge of shot in his lungs. Beda Villa a Bable General Villa has received a Bible in Torreon, Mex., from the American Bible society.

Moses Harper, Who isn't In on it, Inveighs Against the Baleful Influence of the Circus Poster, but He Takes Back All He'd Said. By M. QUAD. [Copyright, 1914, by Associated Literary Press] Y Dear Mr. President-As the town of Jericho elected you by a majority of seven votes and as it will have much to say whether you get a second term or not, it will be also for you to post yourself a bit about the people. It was Moses Harper who begun it. Some one told him that a circus advertisein' wagon was slowly but surely approachin' the town of Jericho, and he let it be known that he would show up at the postoffice in the evenin' and have suminth' to say to interest the bull United States. The crowd was holdin' its breath when he showed up. Moses put his spectacles on and said: "Citizens of Jericho—The tocain has sounded, and we are here tonight to counsel together in the cause of morality. Last year, as most of you know, Jonas Teenchout, whose barn faces the highway a mile outside of this town, allowed the circus wagon to paste up pictures on three sides of the building. How many tickets for the circus he got has nothin' to do with the question. What I'm sayin' is that them pictures, in my solemn belief, shocked the morals of this community for worse than if ten saloons had been opened. The circus wagon is again cropph' along its insidious way, leavin' the blight of destruction in its path, and if sumthin' ain't done Jonas Teenchout's barn will again be enraptured in the allurin' colors of vice and degradation." "It appears to me," said Deacon Spooner, "that a print has bin made. I'd like to hear from Silas Lapham." "I ain't blamit' Jonas 't all," and Silas. "He 't got twelve deadhend tickets for the use of his barn, and I don't believe anybody was the wickler for it. Did my wife run away from her husband because of them pictures?" "That's a print. I says: it's a print" exclaiming the deacon as he hustle实实. A "CITIZENS OF JENNIEO!" "I ain't sayin' that any families was husted up," continues Moses, "but I'm talkin' 'bout the general influence on general morality. A circus picture suggests lemonade and peanuts and whisky and poker and bein' out late nights. They are like pizzen ity. I hope this meetin' and this community air with me." "Enos Williams," says the deacon, "you drive by that barn twice a day all summer. How did them pictures affect you?" "Not much different from a huskin bee," said Enos. "I didn't feel no feelin' of wickedness stealin' o'er me. I'm thinkin' that hard elder has more general influence than circus pictures." "It's a 'pint' abused the deacon." "It's a plint!" shouted the deacon. "It's a plint nobody knit over. Moses, have you got any more arguments?" "Of what use!" says Moses. "Wan't Sodom warned? Did Sodom heed it? When vice stalks rampant through every household in Jericho and innocence is drive to the fields to sit under a blackberry bush and weep, then remember what I have said here tonight." "I'd like to hear from Lish Billings on this matter," says the deacon. "It's purty late," says Lish. "How, purty late?" "Jonas has rented his barn agin and got twenty-one tickets, and here's one he give me." The meeting stood appalled, and then Deacon Spooner says: "Jonas has got twenty tickets left, and that means he has sixteen more to give away outside his family. Fellow countrymen, do you take it this mecitin? he pledged itself." "No, no, no!" shouted the crowd. "Then I'm offerin' the followin' resolution: Resolved, That circus pictures on it, burn may he may not affect the moral standard of a community, but we are willing to chance it this year. All in favor or agin will manifest it in the moral way. The resolution was carried with a whip, and the crowd piled out to look for Jonas Teachout and beg fur headship tickets, and Moses Harper wasn't one of the last! JUST LIKE A MAN. No May See the Advantages of a Bad Burgain, but Not Like a Woman. "WELL," said Mrs. Caperton expectantly as her husband entered the room, "how did it look you?" "She!" cried Caperton enthusiastically, "it's just the place to spend the summer. You'll like it immensely. I know you will. I've engaged accommodations for August with an option on September." "Is it a nice boarding house?" asked me wife. "Oh, nice enough," answered Caperton. "The rooms are dinky little things, the windows are small, and the ceilings are low, but"— "Well, of all things! And you engaged accommodations in such a place?" "Listen, dearie; I'm not through yet. As I just said, the rooms are small and all that, and I'm told the grub isn't so very good—mostly canned stuff, you know—and they don't keep many cows; so the milk supply is not particularly plentiful when there's a crowd there, but"— "Are you losing your mind, Jim Caperton?" "Wait a bit, dearie. Don't be hasty! I'm not through yet. The rooms are small, and the food is not absolutely 'A No. 1,' and they're sort of shy on milk, and it's a good way to the town, and there are not many place walks, and there's no water near except the well, but those are just minor considerations." "Just ml"— "Precisely. Here's the main thing. They've got the finest ballroom and floor I ever saw in my life anywhere, and there's dancing every night and free lessons in all the new steps every morning. Free—just think of that! They keep a fellow there all season just to teach 'em! "You big ninny," blurted Mrs. Caperton—"yes, ninny. You know how a place like that fills up. Why didn't you reserve accommodations for July as well as August? Can't you get them on the long distance phone?"—Puck. Valuable Mixinformation In the large dining room of the Hotel Marseilles hangs a large equestrian painting representing General Robert E. Lee. It is the mascot of the Hungry club, which has its dinners at monthly intervals at this hotel and was painted by a member of the club. Recently a lady on the west side gave a bridge party at the hotel in aid of her pet charity. Among the players was a modern Mrs. Malprop, a typical "climber" with considerably less education than cash. Consequently she was never backward with misinformation on most any subject that came up. During a cession in the play one of the ladies expressed admiration of the picture and a desire to know whom it represented. It was Mrs. Malprop's opportunity. "That, my dear," she assertively explained, "is General Marseilles, a noted Frenchman, for whom the hotel is named." New York Times.

It makes children old before their time; it wrecks men in the prime of their manhood; it abortens lives and fills the insane haylums, and on women it bears hardest of all. "Do it now!" "Get busy!" "Stop lively!" "Hunley!" are the orders of the hour, and in these phrases lies the greatest weakness of the age.

When the autumn tinged the greenwood, Turning all its leaves to gold; In the lane by alders shaded, I my love to Nellie told; As we stood together gazing On the star beepangled dome. How I blessed the August evening When I saw sweet Nellie home. White hairs mingle with her tresses. Furrows steal upon my brow. But a love smile cheers and blesses.
