ACTOMOBILE SMASHED. Many Injured—The Price Car Wrecked—A Humorous View of the Situation. Why every person in the large touring car of Mr. A. D. Price was not killed, Wednesday night, 15th inst., will probably never be known. It was shortly after 12 o'clock while returning from a marriage on the Broad Rock Road in Chesterfield county just beyond old Manchester that the occupants in a smaller car called to those in the Price car to come on. They came, but as the smaller car showed some speed, it began to look as though the Price car was standing still, or, in fact going back to the place from whence it started. A POWERFUL CAR This would never do, for this was a powerful six cylinder Stevens-Duryea touring car that had a reputation to maintain and Chauffeur John Fauntleroy, under the instructions of his associates all of whom were chauffeurs, with the exception of one and there were eight, proceeded to "let her out." The big engine responded and soon Price's car began to "pick up" but the little car continued to speed and keep ahead MAKING FAST TIME. Then the fun commenced. While the car was never going more than " fifteen miles" per hour, according to the "official record," the occupants seem to feel that she reached the speed of twenty miles, then thirty, then forty, then fifty, then sixty and when a narrow part of the road had been reached and the sand erased the hard pavement play from side to side in the road with the pedestrians she would go over into a field, the powerful brakes were shoved in. ALL THROWN OUT. The car answered. Some were of the opinion that she had struck an 80-mile gait. Anyhow she went over twice, throwing the occupants out. The front part of the car landed where the hind part should be. When it was all over, the remains of the large car, which cost originally five thousand, five hundred dollars, were lying across the belt line track, waiting for an Atlantic Coast Line train to finish the job. Chaufeur Fauntleroy remembers hearing the engine above him during the two turn-over motions of the car. Then all was still. Those who were least injured went looking for the others. "ALL DEAD." In the meantime, the little White car went on. The occupants could not hear the Stoevens-Duryea and they decided to go back to ascertain the trouble. As they neared the scene, they saw the figure of a man rocking from one side of the road to the other. He was much excited. All he could say was, "All dead." The relief party made way to the scene. Thore was destruction indeed. One of the wheels of the wrecked car was without spokes. The body was smashed in and the top practically wrecked. ONLY THINGS LEFT. About the only thing that was in good condition was the engine and the chassis. Word was sent to Richmond and Mr. A. D. Price and his party in a Turner car went to the scene of the smash-up. The other car brought the injured men to Richmond. Tom Dabney remained unconscious for three or four days and is still laid up. Those in the Price car were John Fauntleroy, Peter King Tom Dabney, Tom Gray, Erby Cougin and three others. IN BAD SHAPE. The Price car is now at the Bellevue Garage opposite the R. F. and P. freight depot on Broad street. It looks as though it had been bombarded by General Villa's army. Still, there is a prospect that it may be again rebuilt and see service. At least that is what Douglas Price says about it and he seems to be the authority upon such matters around the Price household. The boss says that Douglas has worked out the car proposition all right and he can see his way clear up to that point, but he becomes silent upon the proposition as to how to get the money for such improvements and this is the most important part of the whole matter. STILL LAID UP. Chaunier John Punnettcoy is still confined to his bed at 602 N. Second Street, as are most of the others. He is badly bruised and his right arm is injured but not broken as was at first supposed. Some people are concerned if it is "dry tearwater."

One thing is claimed by the occupants of the Price car. If the engine could have kept on running and the wheels had kept the road and kept on turning, with a sufficient leeway for the big car to pass, the Price car would have thrown dust in the face of the occupants of the little White car. SAD TIMES FOLLOW. But then those in the little car smile and say nothing. Mr. Price has relapsed into silence. The loss of his car brings said times to the Price household, while Douglass continues to look after Fauntleroy, whom he calls "his pardner." What Undertaker Price will say to Fauntleroy, when he gets well, no one knows, although it is remembered that he laid down the rule. "When on the road, Fauntleroy, never let a man, throw dust in your face." Fauntleroy will claim that he was trying to obey orders and, "he let her go." The Methdists to Have Help.

It is understood that several others are contemplating doing the same thing. It is alleged that they are cheaper than horse service, and these professional men are about to prove it!

Chiles, Church Clerk. The reports for the year were read and approved. Rev. Dr. Manuel announced to the members that he had decided to leave the Church and he called Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. to the chair, while the clerk proceeded to read the resignation which was short and to the point. HIS EARNEST WISH. Many of the members expressed their regrets with comments of disapproval but he informed them that it was his earnest wish that they accept it. Recommendations from the Deacon Board were read and finally the resignation was accepted. Moderator Mitchell appointed a committee consisting of Deacon Samuel P. Brown, Brother Wise Ellis and Brother John R. Holmes to draw up resolutions expressive of the high esteem in which Rev. Dr. Manuel was held by the Church and the best wishes for his future prosperity. COMMITTEE REPORTED The committee retired and reported resolutions which paid high tribute to the retiring divine. Other business was transacted, officers elected and at 11:40, the body adjourned after one of the most harmonious meetings in the history of the Church. Moderator Mitchell's call for money resulted in the raising of one hundred dollars in cash and $68,50 in subscriptions. Rev. Dr. Manuel will preach his farewell sermon tomorrow (Sunday) and will officiate all day. He will leave Monday or Tuesday next for Springfield, Illinois, where he will take charge of the Union Baptist Church. He wife, who has been ill is improving. Mr. Donaldson Visita North Carolina. Mr. Paul L. Donaldson, the cleaner who "presses suits while you walt," took a trip to Charlotte, North Carolina just about two weeks ago and took a week's vacation there among his friends. He went all the way on a Harley-Davidson two-speed motorcycle and he claims that he went $800 miles to the round trip. As for the motorcycle, with the exception of the tires, the machine does not appear to have been outside of the city. Mr. Donaldson left here without chart, or compass and some of his experiences are really laughable. He knows more about the machine, too, than he did before he left here.

NE'ER-DO-WELL A Romance of the Panama Canal BY REX BEACH COPYRIGHT 1984, 1988, BY HARPER & BROTHERS SYNOPSIS. Kirk Anthony, son of a rich man, with college friends, gets into a fragrance in a New York resort. A detective is hurt. Jefferson Locks institutes himself into the college men's party. Locke, aided by Kirk's friend Higgins, who thinks it a joke, drugs Kirk and puts the ship Kirk makes the assistance of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Cortlandt. Cortlandt is in the American diplomatic service and is going to Panama to visit. In Colon Kirk, as the son of a big unmarried man, is taken up by Werka, American consul. Kirk's father repudiates him, and Weeks comes him out as an importer. Kirk meets Allen, a Jamaican negro canal worker out of a job. The two are arrested by Colon police for helping to put out a raa. Kirk and Allan are treated brutally in a Colon jail by young Alfaref, commanded by the British consul, but Weeks is told Kirk. Mrs. Cortlandt gets a phone call. Mrs. Cortlandt obtains Kirk's release by using indifference with Colonel Jolson, head of the canal. The Cortlandtus are intrigued to make Alfarea's father president of Panama. Kirk's father casts him off finally, and Mrs. Cortlandt obtains for him a position in the Panama canal under Runnala, master of transportation. The girl tells him her name is "Chiquita." He learns later that this name only "little one." Kirk begins his work. Mrs. Cortlandt has learned Jefferson Loake in. Look (real name Wellar) is a swindier and has disappeared. His description fits Kirk. The latter tries in vain in Panama to learn something of Chiquita and meets Alfarea again. The Cortlandtus and Kirk plan a picnic on the island of Tabago, near Panama. Cortlandt is detained and his wife and Kirk are marooned on the island. Kirk kisses Mrs. Cortlandt and is then entrained to think he has violated Cortlandtus' trust in him. Cortlandt alarmed his wife's absence, rescues her and Kirk is marooned in the country near Panama Kirk meets a charming Spanish girl. Kirk wins the capital prize, glistens in the letter. He and Hammels make piano for advancement. The Cortlandia, having turned from the older Alfarnae, intend to make Senior Gravrel, a banker, president of Panama. Kirk makes love to Chiquita. Edith Cortlandt, infatuated with Kirk, sings riding with him frequently. She avows her love for him. Their ride and talk are interrupted by her husband, and she falls in love with her hand. The banker wishes her to marry Alfarnae to advance his own ambitions. Clifford, a man from the States, asks Ruanels about Kirk. Kirk receives permission to call on Chiquita. Young Alfarnae challenges him to a duel. Kirk laughs at him. Mrs. Cortlandt asks Kirk to call on her. Cortlandt overhears his wife make love to Kirk, who tells her he loves and is enraged to Gertrudia. Prompted by Mrs. Cortlandt travel forbids Kirk to call on his daughter. Kirk manages to see Chiquita. She loves him, will obey her father. Mrs. Cortlandt bloody blood forbids him the path. Detective Williams seeks Kirk, known to him as Locke or Wellar. During an intermission between dances at a ball Chiquita and Kirk are married, the girl returning immediately to her father's side. Kirk breaks with Mrs. Cortlandt. At a dinner tendered to Cortlandt by the railroad men Cortlandt openly "grives" his wife to Kirk, creating a great sensation. Next morning Kirk goes out with Allan. Cortlandt tells his wife what he has done. She denies any wrongdoing with Kirk. Cortlandt is found shot, and Kirk is arrested. Cortlandt tells her father she is Kirk's wife, and the banker visits Kirk to be CHAPTER XXVI. gave her a start of surprise and set her wits whirling in speculation. She was greeted by a gigantic old man with a rumbling voice. He was pacing back and forth with the restlessness of a polar bear. "How do you do, Mrs. Cortlandt?" he began at sight of her, his big voice flooding the room. "I'm sorry to disturb you under the circumstances. I know your husband slightly, and I've heard about you. I extend my sympathy." she bowed. "When did you arrive?" "Just now. Came across in one of those blanked joy wagons—fifty miles an hour. I know everything. madam. What I didn't know before I landed I learned on the way across the fathomus, so don't let's waste time. Decease of a position for you to be in—I understand, and all that—and I'm sorry for you. Now, let's get back to business, for I must get back to New York." It was impossible not to feel Darwin K. Anthony's force. It spoke in his every tone and action. It looked out from his harshlined features and showed in his energetic movement. He was a great granite block of a man, powerful in physique, in mind and in determination. "In what way may I be of service to you?" she inquired coddly. "I want my boy," he said simply. A and she began to see that underneath his cold and domineering exterior his heart was torn by a great distress. "You know all the circumstances of course?" "I do. That's why I came straight to you. I know you're the keystone of the whole affair, so I didn't waste time with these other people. Kirk's a blanked idiot and always has been. He isn't worth the powder to blow to—excuse me—I mean he's just a need-do well. But I suppose I'll have to do my duty by him. I just had to kick him out. Sorry I didn't do it sooner." "If you have cut him off why do you come what becomes of him?" Darwin K. Anthony's eyes dimmed, but his voice rose fiercely. "He's my boy, and I've a right to treat him any blanked way I please, but nobody else is going to abuse him. These Spaniards can't do it! I'll teach them to lay hands on my-boy! I don't care what he's done. They've got to give him up. And he's going back with me. He's going home. I-I-want him." "Why have you come to me?" she queried. "Because you must know the truth if anybody does, and I want your help." His voice softened suddenly, and he regarded her with a gentle kindness that was surprising. "I've heard all about you and Kirk. In fact, I've known what was going on all the time, for I've had a man on his track night and day. You may know him—Clifford? Well; he followed Kirk that night, after the supper to your husband, but Anson didn't dine call him to the stand at the hearing for fear this Alfarez would perjure more of his black and tana." ."So Clifford is your man?" "Yes. I took him off my system and sent him down here as soon as I got Kirk's diottie, impudent letter." The old man began to sputter with indignation. "What do you do think he wrote me, Mrs. Cortlandt? He had the impudence to turn down a good job I offered him because 'his wife might not like our climate.' Thank God, he had sense enough not to do that!" "Then you don't know?" "Know what?" "That he is married." "D—nation!" roared Anthony furiously. She nodded. "A Miss Garavel. They were married—a week ago. She broke down miserably and hid her face in her hands. He attired to her with a light of understanding in his eyes. Laying a great hand upon her drooping head, he exclaimed with wonderful softness: "My dear Mrs. Cortlandt, I'm very sorry for you, indeed I am. Now—now, try to face it squarely. All good women are brave, and you're a good woman. We both love him, and I know we can save him if we pull together." "Yes, yeah!" She raised her drawn, white face eagerly to his. "It will only take a word, but I have been like a mad woman. I couldn't bear to give him up, and when I learned the truth I thought I could let him—suffer. But I couldn't. He is the first and only man." "I know." He patted her in a way that said more than words. "I couldn't have stood out much longer." "Then you have proof?" His face was wild with eagerness. "This. Take it quickly. I only found it last night. It had been malaise in the confusion. I meant to give it up. I really did." With clumsy fingers she drew from the front of her dress an unsealed letter and handed it to him. "Stephen was not a bad man, you see, and he had no intention of wronging an innocent person." Darwin K. Anthony's pallor, matched hers as he read the sheet; then he exclaimed weakly: "Thank God! Something told me to come straight to you. Something always tells me where to find the heart of things." Kirk was considerably surprised that afternoon when a sergeant and two policemen came to his-cell, signifying that he was to accompany them. He could not make out where they were taking him, and, despite their unusual politeness, they were dense to all inquiries. The coach drew up at last before a large, white building, and he was told to descend. Up a flight of stairs he was escorted, his pulses quickening with apprehension, down a long corridor and into a large room, where he saw Bunnels, Colonel Jolson, Anson, Clifford, a dozen or more Panamanian officials—and he stopped in his tracks as his eyes fell upon a bug, white crowned figure that came to meet him. A certain marsh yet tender voice pronounced his name. He felt his hands crushed in his father's palm, found the old man's arm about his shoulders and saw the deep set, steel blue eyes he loved so well wet and shiny. A sudden sense of security swept over him, handling all his fears. "My kid," the old man said, shakingily. "~H-how have they treated you, Buster?" It was a nickname he had given his son when he was a sturdy, round faced wrist of eight. "You came, didn't you!" Kirk said in a voice not at all like his own. "Of course I came, the instant Clifford cabled me, that these ideas had arraced you. By —! They'll swear for this! How are you anyhow, Kirk? Dammit, you need a shave! Wouldn't they give you a razor? Hey, Oxford, Colesel Johnson, come here! These secondrails wouldn't give him a shave. I suppose you're hungry, too; well arm I. We be out of here in a minute, then you show me the best place in town, and we'll have a decent meal, just we two, the way we used to. I'll pay the bill, Great Scott! But I've missed you, Buster!" "Wait, dad." Kirk was smiling, but his heart ached at his father's emotion "I'm a jail bird, you know. They think I—killed a fellow. But I don't care much what they think now." talk from their practice. Her steady eyes open upon the lattice that we viewed in the pool. So if to leave that the spot was easily peopled by kind sprites, a gentle voice seemed to whisper the poise to haunted to find and him pushing at it!/ the rose and not him with her hands unstretched, but men unstretched. After a time she leaned backward in his arms and said gravely: "You see! When one says many, many prayers the good spirit always answer. The padre told me that I should never cease until you came, but I grew very tired, senor." "And you never doubted me!" "Oh, not." "I'm free, you know." "Of course! What else were my prayers for? And my father allowed "That's all over," Clifford broke in, "We're squared that, and you'll be discharged in ten minutes." "Certainly," said the father, "Cortlandt shot himself. Anybody but a bithering Spanish man would have known it at the start. We have a letter he wrote to his wife an hour before he did it. She just found it and turned it over. She left here a moment ago, by the way, all broken up. She's a great woman, Kirk. That's not all, either. Clifford followed you that night and knows you didn't go near Cortlandt. Oh, you should have seen 'em jump when we flashed to 'em all at once, and they learned who I was." "But those men who awore they saw me?" "Bah! We've got that little fellow with the mustache, and both his wit- nesses. If they don't send him up I'll run in a shipload of my brakemen, and will push this isthmus overboard and him with it." "I knew you could fix things." "And you married one of these Panamaniacures, eb7." The father scowled. "Lord, I can trust you to make a fool of yourself." "Say, dad. She's only—so big." Anthony junior indicated his wife's stature, smiling rapturously. "Love her." "Do it? It's force." "Humph! You'll have to get over it. I'll pay your debts and take care of you, but I can't stand a mulatto around me." "There aren't any debts, and she's not a mulatto. She's a—dream." Some time later Kirk found himself in the open sunlight a free man once more, with Darwin K. Anthony and Runnels on either side of him. But before he had gone a block he halted suddenly, saying: "Williams! I'd forgotten him and his warrant." "He's fixed," Runnels explained. "While your father and Mrs. Cortlandt and Colonel Joison were getting you out of Jail Clifford and I told him the truth. He's rather a decent fellow. They have caught the real Jefferson Locke or whatever his name is." "No!" "Yes, a week ago. He landed in Boston. Couldn't stay away from his own country any longer. Williams hadn't heard of it." "What has become of Higgins?" Kirk inquired of his father. Anthony senior exploded: "Oh, he's back scratching up the Tenderloin, as usual. But you'll have to cut him out or I'll leave you here. That's final, understand?" "I intend to stay here anyhow." "Huh?" The old man turned with a start. "I'm dashed if you do!." Then savagely: "What do you suppose I come down here for? I'm lonely. I want you to come home." Kirk smiled craftily and looked at Runnels. "Well, what can you offer? I'm doing pretty well as it is, and I can't afford to lay off." His father, in turn, appealed to the acting superintendent. "Seed. It's nothing less than blackmail. Is he any good, Mr. Runnels?" "If there weren't so much politics in this job he'd be master of transportation of the P. R. R. That's doing pretty well, isn't it? We're both going to quit and look for new work." "Do you drink, Kirk?" "I haven't even had an alcohol rub since I left New York. But, dad, if you place me you'll have to take care of Runnela too. He knows more about railroads than you do." Mr. Anthony grunted a trifle skeptically at this and murmured: "He must be a bright young man. I suppose what he doesn't know you do. Well, how would you both like to come north and give me some lessons?" "Do you mean if? they cried in chorus." "I do." "Oh, there's Allan too. He'll have to go." "Any cats and dogs you'd like to have drawing salary from me? Now, let's go somewhere and eat. I haven't tasted anything to speak of since Clifford's message came." "If you don't mind, I—I'd like to stop at the Caravels for a minute." Kirk said longingly, and his father scowled. "I'd forgotten this—wife of yours." "She's not there," Runnels hastened to say. "I've tried to find her, but I was told she was out at the country place." "Then I think I'd rather drive out there than sit. Won't you go with me, dad?" "Well—yeah! I want to see this banker fellow, and—I'm not so blanked hungry, after all. We'll settle this thing right now." The afternoon sun was still an hour high when Kirk Anthony came down the hill from the Garavelis' home and crushed the meadow toward the forest glade he knew so well. Calquita was there, huddled upon the meat where they had rolled together, one foot curled beneath her like a child, her head bowed down disconcertately. From one brown hand, now drooping listlessly, a daw wild flowers had scattered, and her stiff figure was clad each more in the still, course dunna dress of pipe. Her other hand was laying with her hands mechanically, as if the fury was leaping their from their long practice. They finally even went to meet upon the lights that wavened to the pool. As if to leave that the good was really pleased by kind spelling a gentle voice seemed to whisper the pearls to he and she turned to find him patting at her. She rose and met him with her hands unretracted, her eyes twisted. After a time she leaned backward in his arms and said gravely: "You see! When one says many, many prayers the good salts always answer. The patre told me that I should never cause until you come, but I grew very tired, senor. "And you never doubted me?" "Oh, no!" "I'm free, you know." "Of course! What else were my prayers for? And my father allowed I would have gone to your prison, but he forbade it, so I had no choice. But every hour I prayed that he might give me leave, and I think his heart was fielding." "I'm sure of that," he told her. "For I have just come from him." It was some time later when the sun was dipping that voices sounded outside the wall of cordure and Kirk heard Andrea Carvalo saying: "Of a certainty I shall try that experiment, senior, for the ticks in this country are a pest to cattle. A little to the right and you will find the path So." An instant later the two white haired men appeared. "Hello! There you are. eh?" Darwin K. Anthony exclaimed grudely "Where's that girl?" He paused and let his hostile eyes rest upon Gertrudia. She saw a great, forbidding giant of a man scowling down at her with eyes V. M. He Paused and Let His Hostile Eyer Rest Upon Gertrudia. He Paused and Let His Hostile Eyer Rest Up Gertrudia. like Kirk's, and she came forward timidly, holding out her hands. She was smiling up at him faintly. "You are Keerk's father, see? You are the Sopor Antonio." Mr. Anthony uttered a curious, choking explanation and gathered her gently in his arms. When he looked up his eyes were wet and his deep hand face was working. "I cried wait any longer," he apologized humbly to his son. "I had to come and see her." "And then I hope you will like me," she said in her grave, quiet way. "Your father has told me everything." Garavel laid a hand upon his new son's shoulder—and we have become good friends already. I fear I owe you a great apology, my boy. But if I consent that you take my little girl away to your country will that be reparatory? "Then you will let her go with us?" Kirk cried happily. "If she doesn't go I'll stay." Anthony senior rumbled. "I—I don't see how you ever did it. you're such a blamed fool. Now let's go back to the house, it's sundown." "We'll be along directly," his son assented. "There are chills in the evening air," Mr. Garavel protested. "I'm sorry, but we were waiting for the fairies. They were almost in sight when you frightened them away." Gertilda nodded. "It is quite true. Senor Antonio. We heard them all about, everywhere." She placed her little hand in Kirk's, then checked her father's remonstrance, saying: "Oh, it is quite proper for us to walk home together, even in the dark. We are married now, you know." "Come on, Garavel," exclaimed Darwin K. Anthony. "You understand how it is." Together they went out through the fragrant path a little way. The old man Anthony paused and called back to his son wistfully. "But I say, Kirk, don't stay too long; we're lonely." THE END.

CONVERSATION. Method is not term requalite in ordinary conversation than in writing, provided a man would talk to make himself understood.—Addison. Conversation is a game of circles.—Emerson. Men of great conversational powers almost universally practice a sort of lively sophistication and exaggeration, which deceives, for the moment, both themselves and their auditors.—Macauley. Equality is the life of conversation, and he is as much out who assumes to himself any part above another as he who considers himself below the rest of society.—Sir Richard Steele. SUN.

Before the eyes of a leading London stockbroker there appeared for a few brief moments videos of fortune, fame and hedonism. He was sitting in his office when the telephone bell rang. "Meh," he answered. "Do you want to the Mansion in a suit? Why do you want your dress through a jacket?" "In some circumstances the broker put his right down." "No, he do not get to dress, and if you do and so pay the bill." "This will be admitted to the broker's right from the payment." "Do not move work," questioned the broker, "and do not pay so immediately at your expense." "Down rest his hand." "Who on earth are you?" asked the broker, "and how do you have ME SADLY·DREW BACK. what I am doing with my cigar and hand? You talk as if you could see me." An amazing reply came. "I can see you. There you are, twitching your tie straight. As a matter of fact, I have invented an instrument which enables you to see over a telephone, wire, and I am talking to you because I cannot finance the idea myself and want you to float it on half shares." The possibilities of the scheme were immense. The broker, for an instant, saw himself dealing in vast orders for government departments. He saw big orders for foreign rights. It was one of the miracles of modern science. The capitalist would make a fortune, and then be glanced out of the window across the street. Beamiful down at him from a window overlooking his office was a row of grinning faces, among which he recognized two or three fellow members of the house. Hustily he slammed 'down the receiver. The roar visions faded away, and he audibly drew back out of sight—London mail. Each one has his own burden, his own faults; no one can do without the aid of others. Therefore we must assist each other by consolation, advice and mutual warnings—Leo Tolstoy. Nothing on the President. Apropos of the human side of President Wilson, the president was out for a ride in his automobile one afternoon. The machine passed a small, boy standing beside the road. "Did you notice what boy did when we passed?" the president asked. "No, Mr. President, I did not." "He made a face at me." "Is it possible?" exclaimed the shocked companion. "I didn't observe him." "He did," said the president. "But did you notice what I did?" "No, sir." "Well," answered the president happily. "I made a face right back at him!"-Saturday Evening Post. A Qualint Request On the night when E. A. Sothern (father of our own E. H. of the name) first acted in America he failed to please his public. Toward the end of the play the audience became openly derative. Sothern, who was then known as Douglas, Stewart, nothing daunted, stepped out of the character, assuming that he had got into all and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you will meet me finish the performance I will go home and term how to act." He Got His. Many years ago in Boston Manfield had an attack of tantrums when John Stotson, the Mr. Malaprop of his time, after Tom Maguire's death, was manager of the theater in which on genius was playing Stotson had a kind of profane emphasis that seemed at times to suggest the mighty tread of a bebe-moth on the freembling earth. When a Macedonian cry for help as against Manfield reached him he dropped his inertable glass of gin and water and started steward. Half an hour later he emerged from behind with perspiration trickling down his nose. "Well, by Jiggling Jiggern!" he panted. "You fellers say I'm a kicker, but I'm a parody, compared to Manfield."

He was a colonel of the old school, a veritable Lord Chesterfield. Though suffering from chronic financial embarrassment, he could always find the proverbial friend in need. Meeting an old comrade one day, he asked the loan of $5. "I shall need it for a short time only; a tradesman has grown rather insistent," he said. His friend had not $5 in change, but glady pressed a ten dollar bill upon him. The colonel expressed his thanks; then asked, "And how is your charming wife today?" "Not at all well, I am sorry to say," was the answer. "And no appetite. I'll venture. Perhaps some of these hothouse grapes may tempt her." Whereupon he stopped at a nearby stand, purchased a basket of rare fruit, paid $5 the dealer asked out of his newly acquired $10 and walked jauntily to the gate of his friend's home, carrying the basket—New York Post. Teacher's Interest. "The schoolteacher is interested in you, dnd." "Why, today, after she told me six times to sit down and behave myself, she said she wondered what kind of a father I had." -Philadelphia Ledger. THE BARN WHERE THE ROOF SLOPES DOWN. Up from the meadow at set of sum The lush grass kissing their boots of brown. Slowly the cattle come, one by one: Into the barn where the roof slopes down. Each to her stall with an eager reach For swinging stanchion; then calm content. While switching tails and a mooring speech Keep time and rhythm to the milk's descent. Silently into their places creep The friendly stars are the task is o'er: And nature sinks to her nightly sleep. While closed and locked is the stable door. Out from the darkness a cricket's song Shrills on the air or a barn rat glides. Stealthily, nimply the floor along. Where cattle slumber and silence bides. At morn when the wood thrush greets his mate With song of rapture from throat of brown. The cattle will stumble with eager gait Out from the barn where the roof slopes down. -Helen M. Richardson in Farm Journal- FRIENDSHIPS Some folks say the world is heartless. He who says so another prates commonplaces (the most likely and charitable suggestion) or is heartless himself or is most singular and unfortunate in having made no friend. Many such a reasonable mortal cannot have, our nature. I think, not insulting for that sort of polygamy. How many persons would you have to deplore your death, or whose death would you wish to deplore? Could our hearts hit in such a harum of dear friendships the more changes and recurrences of grief and mourning would be insurable and put our lives beyond their values—Tachney. Woodbury, M. J. House Filled With Swarms of Pests—Lawns, Trees and Shrubbery Damaged. Army worms have invaded thirty counties in Pennsylvania and are deatroying thousands of doddals worth of crops, according to officials at the department of gariculture at Harrisburg. Farmers in all of the infested counties are sending frantic appeals to the department for quick methods of killing them. The pests are also raising bavoc with crops and lawns in south Jersey. In Woodbury thousands of the wrigglers took possession of a residence, causing the family to abandon the place until the worms were exterminated. Harry Gehman, Philadelphia's acting city forester, opened a campaign of extermination. He set a squad of men at work in the vicinity of the Northeast boulevard and Ninth street, spraying the worms with a solution of arsenate of lead. The worms "marched" rapidly through the Germantown district, devastating lawns and gardens. Residents attacked the pests with arsenate of lead, kerosene and gasoline. Arsenate of lead was sprinkled freely on the lawns and the grass was cut short in an effort to check the advance of the worms. According to reports from upstate millions of army worms have invaded the Wyoming valley and are doing much damage to lawns, trees, shrubbery, flowers and crops. Hundreds of lawns in Wilkes-Barre were destroyed; Property owners have appealed to the city officials for aid in fighting the pests. C. L. Yebold, superintendent of parks, has taken charge of the fight against the invaders. Farmers in York county are suffering from an invasion of the worms. Many acres of crops have been striped and the farmers are bending every effort to drive out the destroyer. The worms reached York a week ago and laid waste lawns, shrubbery and gardens. Paris green, wheat bran and orange juice, are being used by residents of York to destroy the pests. From Williamport comes the report that the army worm has appeared in great numbers in northern Pennsylvania. Fearing that grain and vegetable crops will be ruined, the farmers are making a determined fight against the invaders. Deep furrows have been plowed around fields by some of the farmers in Gloucester county, N. J., according to a dispatch from Barneboro. The worms fall into the trenches by the thousands, and a heavy log is dragged by a horse through the furrows twice a day to crush the invaders. The ravages of the army worm continued in Woodbury, N. J. Large quantities of paris, green are being sprinkled on lawns and shrubbery. A number of people have turned their chickens locus in yards, where the worms appeared. A few made the mistake of doing, this after the spraying of the poison and lost bph lawn and their chickens. George D. Chenoweth, livingon East Cooper street, Woodbury, N.J., had to close his house temporarily because of an invasion of worms. The worms first consumed his lawn and then they crawled all over the exterior of the house, many of them getting inside. The family abandoned the house until the pests had been exterminated by spraying them with paris green. The worms were prevented from eating the lawn of the high school when paris green was sprayed over it. Find "Unknown Man" Killed Boy. Intense surprise was caused when the jury at Mount Holly, N.J. at the inquest into the death of Herman Fisher found that he was killed by a "person or persons unknown." Edgar Murphy has confessed to the crime, though it has been declared that this confession was gained by third degree methods, and he is now confined in the Mount Holly jail. The inquest was conducted by Coroner Blabing at Mount Holly, in the court house. The Jury was charged after several witnesses had been heard and the verdict was announced. Murphy's attorney said he would make an effort to have Edgar Murphy released. Herman Fisher, the seventeen-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Fisher, of Taylor Station, N. J., two miles from Riverton, was shot from ambush a week ago. Murphy, who is twenty-seven years old, was arrested on Tuesday, and on Tuesday night the authorities announced that he had confessed. The verdict of the coroner's jury ran thus: "Herman Fisher came to his death by gunshot wounds received at the hands of a person or persons unknown to us, but one witness has testified that Edgar Smith confessed the crime." The "one witness" was ESCAPED FROM SING SING $1,000 REWARD The following described life prisoner who escaped from Sing Sing is created by Police Headquarters, New York: JAMES HUNTOCKERY, FROO AND MURDERER Age 26, height 5 feet 9 inches, weight 160 lbs., light complexion, brown hair; gray eyes, scar on left thumb, occupation machinist; native of United States This Is How the Police Bills Described THE QUARRY The Most Thrilling and Absorbing Story of a Decade READ IT IN THIS PAPER Bharid Jordan. Coroner Bishing was angry at the verdict, which he declared was not in accordance with the evidence. Bridegroom Falla Scranton Girl. With an elaborate display of wedding gifts on her hands, Miss Orisa Phillips is still single, although her marriage to Joseph H. Hall, formerly of North Scranton, but now living in Buffalo, N.Y., was scheduled for Tuesday night in Scranton. A few hours before the time set for the ceremony Hall sent a note stating that opposition by his mother had influenced him to change his mind and that the marriage could never take place. Nota were hurriedly sent to the invited guests, explaining that the ceremony had been postponed indefinitely. Relatives of the bride-elect, who then searched the city for Hall, learned that he had left. Miss Phillips says the whole affair is history now, but she is in a quaranty as to what to do with the gifts, particularly with the ones which her fellow workers had clubbed together and bought. Hall's action has caused a sensation in West Scranton, where both young people are well known. His course was especially amazing to members of the bridal party, whom he met at the Phillips home on Swetland street Monday evening and joined in a rehearsal of the marriage ceremony. Rev. Ebenezer Flack, pastor of the Washburn Street Presbyterian church, had been engaged to perform the ceremony, and he too participated in the rehearsal. Five Saved From Flames. Five persons, one a cripple, were rescued from the burning residence of Howey Ziegler near the Red Bank road, between National Park and Thornton, N. J. The house, costing $10,000, was destroyed, but part of the contents were saved. The building was known as the Starr homestead. Policeman Schrandt, who discovered the fire, rushed into the house, to find the members of the household unaware of their peril. The women and children were carried to safety. They were Mrs. Harvey teigler and her daughter; MrZa. Abbie Calhoun and a baby, May Calhoun; Harry Calhoun, seventy-five years old and a cripple, was carried to safety through the smoke, and his son Howey was recued. Volunteer firemen assisted a bucket, brigade in fighting the flames. Dying. He Accuses Three. A dramatic scene occurred at the Pottsville, Pa., hospital when Fred Mitlack, who was murderously assaulted at Heckacherville, identified three men, John and Charles Keris and George Grishey, as his assailants.

Challenger on Her Way to Win or Lose the Cup. ```markdown ``` 150,000 Lean Cattle Thus far, this year 180,000 fewer cattle have been marketed in Kansas City, Mo., than in the same period in 1913, the receipts being the smaller for any similar period in twenty years. The decrease is attributed to the drought in the southwest last summer. Prices are the highest ever known for this month. Another crop of prime corn-fed beeves cannot be made, they say, until the corn crop of 1914 is available. If August prices for corn fatted steers are as much higher than the July level as they were in 1912, next month will see prime beef bringing $11 per 100 pounds in Kansas City. Has 92 Per Cent.

When a man gets tired of his wife, he is "real tired." It is difficult for some people to distinguish between luxuries and necessities. Dying is an easy matter, but then we don't want to be thinking about it just before we die. There are many young men in this neighborhood who need good, strong sturdy, industrious wives to take care of them. The people least affected by hard times are the colored people for the reason that they are having hard times all the time. Too much mouth and a large supply of tongue are liable to get you in trouble unless you are very diplomatic in the use of both. Don't forget to be polite and obliging. Be respectful to white people and you will surely be respectful to colored ones. It mighty hot on earth these days, but nothing like it will be on the inside of the earth for some of these people some of these days. --- If all the things the Democrats are saying about each other are true then the colored folks are indebted the best race of people on earth. A man who spends next week's salary before he earns it, by borrowing from some one else, is on a straight road to the poorhouse. --- If you want anything and you find you must borrow the money to get it try doing without it. It will give you peace of mind that will be very gratifying. All honest labor is honorable colored folks who live upright and make an honest living should be respected even though they cannot afford a sitting room or a parlor. Some men and women have just sense enough to get something to eat and wear and rear a family and they refuse the offer of any more sense either for themselves or families. They are to be pitted. They are not charging that the Democratic Party has put a million men out of work. These Democratic leaders deny this, but the men are out of work without regard to who made them lose their jobs. --- They say that women and whiskey are the ruination of most men who are ruined. They are about to remove the whiskey, now what about the women? Will somebody authorized so to do answer this question? When a colored man gets tired working for a living, the first thing he asks God is a call to preach. This is why there are so many lazy men in the pulpit bothering those who are trying to give the people profitable instruction. Some colored folks are always imagining that the place that they are is always the place where they should not be. These same people always believe that some other place is better than the place where they now are. This causes unrest, laziness and finally disaster. When a colored exhorter prays, you can hear him all over the neighborhood. When a white man prays, you have a hard time making out what he is saying if you are only thirty feet away from him. As to the practices of each, well, we will leave that for future discussion. The "high-steppers" are those, who are always straining to appear like some other people who have the money with which to enjoy themselves, without owing other people to do it. The "low-steppers" are those who live within their means and trust to God for their future prosperity. There can no longer be any doubt but what Hon. Theodore Roosevelt is making the effort of his life to return to the White House at Washington. His present manipulation of New York politics, evidenced by his bold attack upon District Attorney C. S. Whitman, who is admittedly the strongest candidate for Governor of New York with the possible exception of Mr. Roosevelt himself, and there are some persons who do not even except Mr. Roosevelt. Col. Roosevelt has played a strong political card in the open endorsement of Hon. Harvey D. Hinman as Republican candidate for Governor of New York. Mr. Hinman has openly repudiated Republican Chairman Barnes, anything that District Attorney Whitman did not do. This leaves him in the position of running in the Republican primaries openly opposed to the regular Republican organization and supported by the leader of another Party. In the person of Col. Roosevelt, who openly asserts that he will support him It comes a question as to how he can do this, should his own Party, the Progressive nominate some other man for Governor. He would be in the predicament of the. Roosevelt Progressive Party going in one direction and he in another. Col. Roosevelt is attacking boss-rule and not he is bossing. Of course he claims to be doing this in the interest of the people, while the other bosses have been doing it for the benefit of themselves and their heuchmen. This is the distinction and the difference. The present New York light is undoubtedly the preliminary struggle for the presidency. If Hon. C. S. Whitman becomes the candidate of the Republican party of New York. State and is elected Governor by an overwhelming vote, his eyes will be upon the White House of the nation and no power on earth will be able to prevent his landing there should he be elected by a close vote, his political career will end with the governorship and should be defeated, the election figures will tell their own story. Col Roosevelt may be able to carry out his plans with the help of the Wilson policies now being promulgated at Washington, but there are three statesmen in the country at the present time whose political elimination is desired by powerful interests that have all to lose by their elevation in the political and official affairs of the nation. Woodrow Wilson, William J. Bryan and Theodore Roosevelt. The lack of leaders in both parties makes the fight all the more interesting. Only men of small, political calibre now loom upon the horizon. The ablest men have been either besmirched with scandals or driven into private life. Should Hon. Theodore Roosevelt ever again get into the White House, his dynasty will then begin with results which will be far-reaching and injurious to this Republic. He is a great man, who having had enough of political fame still yearns for more. His Party can only live with him and for him and it is at present a "means to an end." With Republican endorsation and backing his uninterrupted march to the White House seems assured. You are compelled to buy 'em. Why not buy those made by members of your own Race?

At the request of counsel for the defense, the case of John Clements, the colored man charged with a capital crime against Miss Fannie T. Chenault, on the night of May 9, was last Monday morning continued by Judge George S. Shackelford, in Henrico Court Court, until October 27. Continuance of the case was granted because of the illness of Detective-Sergeant Krengel, of the Richmond police force, a material witness for the defense. MUCH INTEREST. Evincing the wide interest which the case has attracted, eager crowds thronged the courtroom long before the case was called, and the proceeding were watched with keenest interest by the numerous spectators. Clements was brought into the courtroom shortly before the case was called for trial, but Miss Chenault, although in the sheriff's office adjoining, did not enter the courtroom. After the jury had been sworn in, Attorney Gilbert K. Pollock, of counsel for the defense, addressing the court, stated that Detective Krengel, whom he said was a material witness for the defense, was sick in bed and that it would probably be a week or more before he would be able to appear as a witness. On these grounds a continuance of the case was asked. Attorney Isaac Diggs, for the prosecution, differed with the counsel for the defense as to the importance of the testimony of the detective's evidence had already been heard. In the lower court, and that his statements proved no points which could not be brought out by the evidence of other witnesses. A HUMAN LIFE AT STAKE. Ordering that the case be continued, Judge Shackelford stated that the court desired the defense to have whatever witnesses it could get, and that, inasmuch as the counsel for the defense had stated that the witness was a material one, he thought it expedient that the case be heard later. Members of Miss Chenault's family were in the courtroom, and took keen interest in the proceedings. The Commonwealth and those who believe the man guilty were eager that the case be tried at once. Magistrate H. S. Sunday, who presided at the preliminary trial, and who sent the colored man on to the grand jury, has been summoned as a witness by the prosecution. During the past week numerous other witnesses who did not testify in the lower court have been summoned. MANY SURPRISES. The continuance of the case Monday occasioned a good deal of surprise, and sympathetic with the prosecution were deeply disappointed because of the delay. Deep interest, mingled with morbid curiosity, was shown by the spectators in the courtroom when Clement was brought in by the officers and seated by his attorneys, but no demonstration of any kind resulted. The accused appeared to be only passively interested in his surroundings, and was calm throughout his brief stay in the court. Long days and nights within the walls of the prison have left their telltale marks upon the prisoner's countenance, and his manner was submissive. Guest at Hotel Dale, Cape May, N. J. Mrs. A. L.

JULY 25, 1914. In Virginia the Associations and District Conventions, are meeting each week and in some cases two and three are meeting a week. This means that the campaign of money raising is on in earnest for Virginia Theological Seminary and College. The situation on the field is very encouraging from all sides. The people in the rank and file are enthusiastic. The ministers are leading their forces splendidly in the interest of the educational work. The people generally have seen the vision they have caught the inspiration and the best is to be expected along progressive lines. Dr. Galvin, president of the State Convention, Dr. Burks, chairman of the Board, and Deacon Humbles, treasurer, are all co-operating with me here in Virginia on the field, meet different organizations in the interest of the educational work. In addition to the persons named who are active on the field, there are, in every section, ministers, board members and laymen, who are active in the interest of the work. In the North our good friends generally are astir. Dr. Graham will meet many Virginia bodies as well as Northern, representing the cause. This is the year when the workers, in all parts, intend to make the workkin ring and when every act shall count the most for God and humanity and when every step shall be forward. Wednesday and Thursday last we attended the Corner Stone District S. S. Convention, Dr. B. S. Nowlin, president. Here we found a body of excellent workers out from Brookneal, Va., doing telling work for the cause of Christianity in all its phases. Great crowds attended these meetings. Dr. Nowlin is a progressive leader, highly honored. He is assisted nobly by other officers, some of whom are Dr. R. L. Wynn, Brethren S. D. Harvey, B. T. Marshall and others. Revs. Calloway, Burks and another Rev., who is vice-president of the Moser' Order and a fine, gentleman at that he is, but whose name has slipped us at this writing. Sister Marshall, the secretary is also an active worker, with many others. They heard me gladly and fully about the work we are doing here at the College and gave us thirty-six dollars and twenty-five cents ($26.25) for same. From here Thursday we journeyed to Danville, to meet the National Baptist District Convention and Association, Rev. Terry is moderator of the Association, Dea. Simon, of High St. Baptist Church is the efficient secretary and Rev. Johnson, treasurer. Here we met our good friends, Drs. Galvin, Moses, Terry, Jordan and Revs. Johnson, Redd, Harroway and many other divines. Also Mrs. Moses, where we spent pleasantly the night and Mrs. Galvin, on attendance of the meeting. This is a splendid body of Christian workers, who are doing effective work. The organization is a young one having been recently organized, but one very active and earnest, in fact, it was organized for that purpose. Such energetic men as are in this body were disposed to have an organization that meant business, not a meeting for fraternal greetings to be exchanged, but one where God is to be honored, humanity aided and that part of humanity represented in the Negro race not forgotten, so to have such around Danville, they had to organize it. This they did to the glory and satisfaction of all. In two years they have contributed more to racial causes, than had ever been the case around Danville by any such body. The brethren heard me Friday night and gave directly to our cause from the two organizations twenty-two dollars and sixty cents ($22.50). From Danville, we rushed home to leave for Richmond to go out to Beaver Dam, to be with Dr. C. H. Phillips in his thirtieth anniversary as pastor of Union Baptist Church of this place. This is a great church and has been nobly pastored for thirty years by a Christian gentleman who is in every respect a fine character. Well, he is well known for he has been a noted evangelist for about the major length of time. This anniversary occasion was a great one. Two car loads of people went from Richmond in addition to the regular train accommodations. From every section around the came. From every section around they came. The people generally were eager to honor the minister who had so long been a beacon light in their community. At eleven o'clock we preached the anniversary sermon. At 3 o'clock Lawyer J. Henry Crutchfield made a strong address from the theme, "The Meaning of Life." The people vied with each other in enjoying the occasion generally. The congregation made Dr. Phillips a personal donation of one hundred, one dollars and twenty-five cents ($101.25) as his anniversary present. This was aside from their regular contribution for the day. This was a splendid occasion, one grand to behold. Virginia, in Church circles is pro- gressing nicely. Other fields, however, will not let the pastors alone. Dr. Manuel of the great Fifth Street Church, of Richmond has been called to Springfield, Ill. and will accept. Dr. J. C. Austin, of the great Mt. Zion Church, Staunton, has been called to Mt. Jezell, Washington, D. C. We do not know that he will accept, but they have made him some flattering offers. Three District meetings are in session this week, so I must stop. B. C. WOODS For Rheumatism. Dr. Scott's Blood Remedy. $1.00. · Troy·(N. Y.) Notes. Troy, N. Y., July 12.—Rev. J. A. Taylor was to Coyman's, N. Y, with the men on the brickyards, July 5th and 12th. The talks to the men were delightful and the men seemed to have enjoyed the meetings. Rev. J. E. Bynum on Sunday the 5th at the Emanuel Baptist Mission preached in the evening from the text The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost, Luke 19:10. And also preached for us on the 12th from the text. We would see Jesus, John 12:21. The Rev. made all our hearts rejoice to hear him while he opened to us the word of life. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Thomas' daughter, who has been sick for sometime is very ill now. The very warm weather is against her. She claims Jesus for her Saviour. The Lord's will be done with His own. We pray orf his will to be done. Many of our people have left the city for the Summer resorts and many are taking their vacations notwithstanding the hard times. The A. M. E. Zion Church, 7th Ave. will run its annual excursion to Baerona Park. Thursday, August 18, 1914. Adults 50 cents, children under 12 years, 25 cents. Troy Lodge, 5728, G. U. O. of O.

One sweetly solemn thought Comee to me o'er and o'er— I'm nearer my home today Than I ever have before. Nearer my Father's home. Where the many manions be; Nearer the great white throne; Nearer the crystal sea. Nearer the bound of life. Where we lay our burdens down; Nearer leaving the cross; Nearer gaining the crown. But lying darkly between. Winding down through the night. Is the silent, unknown stream That leads at last to the fight. Closer and closer my steps Come to the dreaded abyss; Closer death to my lips Presses the awful chrism. Oh, if my mortal feet Have almost gained the brink; If it be, I am nearer home Even today than I think. Father, perfect my trust; Let my spirit feel in death That her feet are firmly set On the rock of a living faith. —Phoebe Gary. RELAXATION. Achievement is the result of the proper co-ordination between work and rest. Were it not for its regular fraction of a second rest between each throb the heart would soon pump itself out. Relaxation is energy stored up. There is to relaxation a quiet, cumulative power that is sure to hold you in good stead if ever panic or disorder come near, for it is at such times that every ounce of energy and resource is demanded. Relax as you work. Take time to think as you go. Reflect upon the improvement of everything you do. All things can wait upon a man building up and fortifying his own soul and his own character. Invest in relaxation.—George Matthew Adams. WORTH KNOWING. How to Preserve Fine China From Being Destroyed. A housewife with an eye to preserving her dishes from destruction has developed a simple bumper to put about the faucet, so that dishes coming in contact with it in the sink will be uninfured. She took a heel from an old rubber boot, cut a hole of the proper size in it with a chisel and hammer and put it around the end of the faucet, and now dishes and deflate glass tumblers can be knocked against it with perfect impunity. Winding a piece of rubber from an old rubber shoe around the faucet and tying it there would be just as effective. Convicts Oppose Liquor.

General Victoriano Huerta, former provisional president of Mexico, left his country at Puerto Mexico and is on his way to Kingston, Jamaica. Accompanied by Senora Huerta and their unmarried daughters, Elona Eva and Zella; General Blanquet, former minister of war; Senora Blanquet and their daughters, General Huerta boarded the German cruiser Cruiser. Another delay has occurred in the departure of the other Mexican refugees. The steamship Mexico, on which they had expected to sail to Join Huerta, it was announced, is not coming, and this apparently leaves as the next opportunity for departure the Buenos Ayres, on Thursday. That vessel does not touch at Jamaica, unless by special arrangement, but does tail to Vera Cruz, an incident that may be distasteful to most of the Mexicans marooned. Virtually all of them are still aboard the British cruiser Brinton and are too nervous to stop on aboard. There was much more in taking the refugees aboard the Bristol than mere courtey. The scare caused by the reported Constitutionalist plan to attack the town still prevailed, though many professed to laugh at it. More serious in its consequences was another report, which resulted in the arrest of a lieutenant, a sergeant and one citizen. This was that these three men had been attempting to incite to mutiny the presidential guard, a small detachment of which remained 'until the last, and even to assassinate General Huerta and General Blanquet. It was feared that an attack by the rebels would lead to serious fighting and perhaps a cassure if the rebels 'should be victorious. The soldiers of Huertas' bodyguard, who were not sent back to Mexico City, throw away their uniforms and disappeared in the forest as soon as the last of the Huerta party had gone aboard ship. The reported plot to assassinate him did not seem to worry Huerta. Shortly before he embarked an officer approached him and asked what disposition should be made of three prisoners. General Blanquet suggested that they be shot at once. "Oh, let them go," said Huerta with a smile. "Let the rats go. My life has been threatened so often that I have lost all interest. In these plots." Carvajal Opposed to Full Surrender. Provisional President Francisco Carvajal of Mexico does not intend to surrender unconditionally to General Venustiano Carranza and will concentrate military forces and resist an invasion rather than permit the constitutionalists to enter Mexico City without previous agreement not to wreak vengeance on the lives and property of those who had supported General Huerta. This was the information received from authoritative sources in Mexico City by Washington diplomats. It induced pestilence in some quarters over the possibility of an unfitable settlement of the revolution. Another aspect of the situation that was commented upon was that Carranza, while informing the American consul at Monterey that he would receive a commission from Carvajal, made it plain that he would do so only to arrange for unconditional surrender. Fear is still felt that Villa will carry his quarrel with General Carranza to the point of revolt, and will plunge Mexico into a new civil war far more bitter than the one just ending. At the Constitutionalist junta the official denials of trouble with Villa were less emphatic than heretofore. Friends of Villa wear more confident in their assertions that Villa would "get what he wants or put them in a hole." PASTOR DIES AT FUNERAL Aged Man Expires After Conducting Last Rites For Another. While seated in a carriage with his wife, on his way to Lancaster, Pa., in the funeral procession of *Amos L. Kreider, Rev. John L. Landis, a Mennonite preacher, was stricken with heart trouble and expired in a few minutes. Rev. Mr. Landis had preached the funeral sermon at the Kreider home, and shortly, after leaving that place was conversing with the undertaker, when he fell forward into the arms of his wife. The funeral party was thrown into consternation by the sudden death. Rev. Mr. Landis had been preaching for forty-pine years and was eighty-two years old. WEST CHESTER GIRL SLAYS ASSAILANT Shoots Through Heart Youth Just Out of Reformatory. Katie Clay, nineteen years old, resisted an attempt to attack her at her home in West Chester, Pa. As a result, Thomas Ridgley, nineteen years old, who recently was released from the Huntingdon Reformatory and had just returned to his home, a few doors distant from the Clay home, is dead with a bullet through his heart. Katie Clay is in prison to await the action of the corpse's jury. Both the youth and the girl are colored. Ridgley died with a revolver in his hand, with which, according to the girl, he had threatened her in his attempt to attack her. The youth entered the Clay house and asked for Katie, who went into the parlor to meet him. When she appeared, she says, he made demands which she refused. Then, she says, he drew a revolver, of which three chambers had previously been fired, and attempted to enforce his demands. The girl says she backed toward a cupboard and took from a shelf a revolver, from which she fired one shot. Ridgley staggered to the street and fell dead. The girl then called the police and surrendered. PATIENT DIES: DENTIST HELD Wilkes-Barre Doctor Arrested For Man- laughter Because of Woman's Death Mike Hankey, a devoted by man slaughter Because of Woman's Death, Dr. F. W. Koons, a dentist, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. was held under ball upon a charge of manlaughter for having caused the death of Mrs. George Hanki, who died in his office after having several tooth extracted. Dr. Koons was arrested before Adlerman Frank B. Brown on charges preferred by George Hanks, husband of the Acton. He was held without ball for court, but later he went before the county judge and gave $1000 ball for his appearance before the next grand jury. Several doctors testified that Mrs. Hanki died from heart failure, but her husband contends that the treatment of Dr. Koons caused death. ACCUSED OF STARVING WIFE Wealthy Farmer Purchased Coffin and Dug Grave Weeks Ago. Samuel Cunningham, a farmer of Belleville, near Parkersburg, W. Va., is in the county jail awaiting a hearing on charges made by J. E. Mayhew, state human agent. Cunningham, reputed to be wealthy, was arrested on a warrant sworn to by Mayhew and charging first degree murder. Mayhew charges that Cunningham starved his wife, Ann Cunningham, to death. It is alleged in the warrant that Cunningham not only failed to provide his wife with food for twelve days prior to her death last Friday, but that he purchased a coffin and began digging a grave three weeks ago. Mormona Flee Mob. Angered by the attack made on the Methodist religion by two young Mormon missionaries, Rev. William May, pastor of the Methodist church at Christina, near Lancaster, Pa., forced the men to retract their statements. A crowd of 200 persons was attracted to the center of Christina by the attack made on the strangers. The Mormons remained accustomed in their rooms, fearing an outbreak, and they took the first train for another point. Order Change in Railroad Bookkeeping After June 1, 1955, the railroads of the United States will be compelled to keep their accounts to show separately costs of freight and passenger service, according to an order by the interstate commerce commission. This information will be used not only for ratmaking, but to keep the commiss. better informed how railroads actually conduct their business.

Monarch Recognizes Gravity of the Situation and Asks Conference to Reach Settlement. For the first time in the modern history of England the king recognized that the cry of civil war was on the lips of many of his responsible and sober-minded subjects in connection with the Irish home rule crisis. The king's speech to the leaders of the various parties called together in conference at Buckingham Palace was grave in its tone, as he told them he regarded them as the trustees for the honor and peace on all and left them to confer in view of reaching a settlement. He told them their responsibilities were great, and that time was short, and advised them to exercise patience and to be earnest and conciliatory in their deliberations. "It is with feelings of satisfaction and hopefulness," he said, "that I receive you here, and I thank you for the manner, in which you have responded to my summons. It is also a matter of congratulation that the speaker of the house of commons has consented to preside over your meetings. My intervention at this moment may be regarded as a new departure, but the exceptional circumstances under which you are brought together justify my action. "For months we have watched with deep misgivings the course of events in Ireland. The trend has been surely and steadily toward an appeal to force and today the cry of civil war is on the lips of the most responsible and soberminded of my people." "We have in the past endeavored to act as a civilizing example to the world, and to me it is unthinkable as it must be to you that we should be brought to the brink of fratricidal strife upon issues apparently so capable of adjustment as those we are now asked to consider if handled in a spirit of generous compromise. "My apprehension in contemplating such a dire calamity is intensified by my feeling of attachment to Ireland and of sympathy with her people who have always welcomed me with warm hearted affection. "Gentlemen, you represent in one form or another the vast majority of my subjects at home. You also have a deep interest in my dominions overseas, which are scarcely less concerned in the prompt and friendly settlement of this question. "I regard you then in this matter as trustees for the honor and peace of all. "Your responsibilities are indeed great. The time is short. You will I know employ it to the fullest advantage and be patient, earnest and conciliatory. "In view of the magnitude of the interests at stake, I pray God in his infinite wisdom may guide you and your deliberations to that they may result in the joy of peace and an honorable settlement." The king remained only a short time and then left the conferences to their deliberations. While the leaders were in conference preparations were being made by the chief Unionist organizer for a general election. He sent orders to all the constituencies to prepare for an election three weeks after the conference, as the leaders are convinced that no matter what may be done at Buckingham Palace the house of commons soon must be dissolved. Durik the time the conferences sat around the table in Buckingham Palace they found an opportunity to discuss many points of difference, and before adjourning touched on the question of the exclusion of the county of Tyrone from the operations of the Irish home rule bill, a point which everybody recognizes as the most thorny one of the whole subject. The general impression prevails that the conference will settle this matter, since nobody believes the request for the exclusion of one county will be allowed by eight politicians possessing the ability of the conferences to turn the scales for civil war. POISON TABLET KILLS NURSE Philadelphia Girl, Hospital Student, Died at Atlantic City. Miss Grae Babcock, nineteen years old, a student nurse in a Philadelphia hospital for the past two years, re- turned to her home in Atlantic City to spend a short vacation with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Babcock, of Choleson, and rest after the hard work incidental to the examin- ations she had successfully passed. She suffered from headache and went to the family medicine cabinet. In the darkness the girl got hold of a bottle of poisonous tablets. She took one. A short time later she became aware of her mistake and was taken to the City hospital, where she died after terrible suffering. British Army Aviator Killed. Leutenant Hordon, of the aviation corpse of the British army, died from injuries received in the collapse of his biplane. Mrs. Pankhurst Rearrested Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst was re-restored Thursday under the "cat and mouse attack" and lodged in the Holloway jail in London. She was in such a weak condition as a result of her recent hunger strike that she was taken to jail on a stretcher in her own auto mobile. Economy Hints A penny saved in a penny earned. Benjamin Franklin. NOT every material that is dubbed "wash" , deserves its name. In planning your prac can tab dresses be made like new by careful pressing with gold starch water. Use a little starch, dampen slightly with a white cloth, a little at a time, and press with a moderately hot iron. When a colored tab dress is to be laundered set the color by soaking in strong salt water or in sugar of lead. Five cents' worth of the latter to a gallon of water is the correct proportion. Remember in washing colored dresses to use lukewarm water, no strong soap or alkali. When possible wash without soap and preferably in a suds. Dry in the shade or at night. Dampen just before froning. Just one more word on the kind of materials for the *tub frock*. Much is heard of the wash crape. They are beautiful, smart, and save untold time in frothing, but most of them shrink terribly. Be sure in selecting these crape to test by measured samples their shrinking qualities. It pays to get some of the imported wash crape, because they shrink less. Cotton volle, ginchum, dilutites, bastiste, cotton ratios and, of course, the cotton crape, chambray, reps and fine plique are excellent for the morning or utility dresses. For the dresser ones finer coffee, mulls, bastiste, handkerchief clohes, Paris muslin and many of the new silk and cotton materials are practical. For more elaborate gowns the wash net and wash cliffons can easily be rolled if properly made. Dotted swiss is one of the "simple" that should command itself to every woman because it is "dressy" cool and does not need constant pressing. Wash lilies are also satisfactory. Indoors, many people for them to the cotton or them even for the morning frock. You must, however, get a good quality, wash in hot-warm water and from while still damp. Make exactly like any other tint dress without a lining. If you are inclined to stoutness or perilite freely a thin lawn lining to the blouse will insure better wear. BE CAREFUL! How to Wash Cut Glass Without Breaking it. In washing cut glass, especially that which is deeply cut, never use hot water. If you do the thin pieces will heat so much more suddenly than the thick portions that they will expand quickly and break the glass. Have your cut glass in a warm room for several hours before washing it. The water should be just warm, and it should be put a generous amount of liquid ammonia. Then each piece should be put into the bowl separately and be held over quickly, so that the entire surface may become wet at once. If the cutting is at an deep rub all surfaces with a stiff brush covered with a lather of ordinary soap. Rinse the glass in another bowl containing water of the same temperature, to which has been added a squeeze of blue from the washing blue bag, then dry immediately upon a clean and soft towel. Should you wish to give an added luster polish, the glass with alcohol Hold the piece of glass to be treated over a clean basin and pour the alcohol-which must have been standing in a warm room long enough to lose its chill over the glass, letting it run down into the basin beneath, so that it will not be wasted. Wipe dry instantly and polish with a soft piece of linen and let the final polish be given by a soft piece of old silk. How to Use Some Economy Hints. Afl your dresser well and they now will seem stuffy. Clothes never should be shunt up in a wardrobe immediately after they have been worn. Let the hoof of a dress hang over the back of a chair for at least half an hour before putting it away. The oldest clothes can be kept fresh and odorless if they be treated in this way. Mildew is easily, removed by lemon juice and plenty of sunshine. Put on lemon juice and let stand in the sunshine. Another method is to use a paste compound of soft soap, a table spoonful of powdered starch, the juice of one lemon and salt. Cover the spot with the paste and allow it to stand forty-eight hours. A second application may be necessary. When you break a piece of fine brie a brie which has a tabular prejection while it may be very easy to glue it together, you will find it likely to break off again unless more securely fastened. Slip a small cork into the broken end, then glue it to the broker part and adjoint both. Now both are tight. One china register says that it broken china is tied together and bolted in milk the pieces will adhere and the articles will fast for many years. Wilson Has Indigestion. President Wilson, suffering from an attack of indigestion which followed Secretary Lane's fifteenth anniversary dinner, was confined to his room. It was said that he was better, but that all engagements probably would be canceled. It was thought best to keep him quiet. The president's illness was compil cured by a cure in his stomach. It has been greatly annoyed by the heat recently, but resumes to leave Wash system as long as congress is at work on the anti-trust bills. THE delight of camp life lies in its utter freedom and the reduction of all things to their simplest simplicity. This very ful in the damp days that always grows in the spring after the summer frost destroys them. But it is true that salt bequeathed in and surrendered Choked to Death on Beam. Coroner Knight and Detective Paul of the coroner's office in Philadelphia are engaged in investigating the sudden death of eighteen-months-old Lens Parame, who, strangled by a bean, was sent to the diphtheria ward of the Municipal hospital by a physician engaged by the family. The mistake was discovered by the hospital physicians, but the patient had been placed in a ward with sufferers from costiaglion diseases, so it was necessary to keep her there. --- HOW TO MAKE HOME- MADE SCENTS. Lavender Water.—Put into a bottle and shake well one-eighth of a plot of spirits of wine, one-eighth of an ounce of oil of lavender and a quarter of a dram of essence of ambergris. Kau de Cologne.—Half an ounce each of oils of lemon and bergamot, sixteenth of an ounce of oil of orange peel, quarter of a dram of oil of rosemell, twenty drops of oil of nerol, five drops of essence of musk or ambergris. Reduce this amount of ingredients in half a plot of rectified spirits of wine. Numerous perfumes may be made by adding to a small quantity of rectified spirits of wine of gernnium, sandalwood, rosemary or essence of bergamot, musk or ambergris, adding it drop by drop until the desired perfume is obtained. These ingredients may be obtained from any drug store. AMUSE THE. KIDDIES. How to Play the "Cut-out" Game With the Youngsters. Mothers are often at their wits' end to know what to do with convalescing children. During this trying time it takes much ingenuity to keep them interested. One of the most pleasurable things to boy and girl alike is the cut-out game. It is an as old as the hills and yet has kept its newness and interest to this day. The boy will score the ordinary cut-out play, but give him first a blank book, then a catalogue from a sporting firm, a pair of scissors and a bottle of glue and tell him to furnish you a summer camp in the Adriadackas, such as he would like to live in; then suggest that he fix up a scene in Canada in the winter time, with skiing, skating, and so on. The way to interest the little chap is to excite his imagination first. Describe to him in detail the interior, then the exterior, of a camp in the woods; then tell him to cut out from the catalogue all the pictures which have anything to do with tent life. These include guns, fishing rods, boots, cooking utensils, cots, etc. Clothing for summer camping will probably be illustrated by pictures of men or women dressed in these garments. These figures may be grouped round a fire or standing in a canoe or climbing the mountains. When the child has a number of illustrations cut out let him use his ingenuity to furnish the scene. Much can be done if the mother can draw a hit. In such a case she could outline on the first page the inside of a bar tent, to be furnished by the child. On the second page could be the outside of the tent, with the mountain in the background and a lake at one side. Further internet can be added to this game by giving the little ones a set of crayons with which to color the pictureed scenes. Water colors are a joy to children if they can be arranged in such a way that the water will not spill. An excellent way to do this is to give the child a sewing board. Where the board is cut out in a curve it will fit into the body, and the paints may be placed on its flat surface with no danger of upsetting them. The wiser mother saves her old magazines and catalogues for the time when her children may need them. HANDY ABOUT THE HOUSE. How to Use Adhesive Plexter in Unusual Ways. Adhesive plaster is useful in many ways, but often we never think of it except for covering cuts or holding bandages in place. Here are some of it "unusual uses" to which it may be put: If a new shoe chafes at the heel put a piece of adhesive plaster at the top of the heel stiffening and be comfortable. It will save the history if applied on the outside of the stocking when the bole first begins to make itself apparent. Use it to mend corns and put it over the ends of protruding steels and bones. A strip around a jelly glass cover will make it airtight. Tiny strips put under the bottom of a rattan chair will give a repair bill. Put a strip into the backs of children's overbores and they may then be put on without trouble and without a shoe horn, which sometimes tears the rubber. When rugs curl up at the corner strips of the adhesive plaster will cause them to lie flat. If you lose your thimble put a strip on the end of your finger. Use it to make secure your packages. If warm when applied it is sure to stick, no matter how much hard usage the package may have in transit. News From Lenden About New York A curious cause has brought Monday into fashion with the New York theater goer. Many years ago the wealthy people—who could afford to put their laundering out—became distinguished from the poorer people, who had to do their washing at home. The richer could show up at the opera on Monday evening. London Chronicle. Fish is a staple of camp meals, for usually the camp is near water. In preparing fish there are several general rules to follow. First, olive oil is best to fry them in, and, next to oil, butter; second, only large fish should be boiled; third, any fish that are to be fried must be wiped dry or they will absorb too much grease, and the fat must be very hot before the fish are put in; fourth, if the fish have been caught in muddy water rub salt on the backbone and put them in strong brine for an hour or more before cooking. In the autumn birds will probably be a foremost part of the menu, and to roast them with their feathers on is the easiest and the primitive way. Open the bird as usual and draw it; then cover it with wet clay, bury it in hot coals and in forty minutes take it from the coals and peel off the clay, and the feathers and skin will come also. This is a guide's method. Eggs may be roasted in the coals or, rather, in hot nashes. Cover them and keep enough fire on top to insure steady heat, and in six minutes they will be done. Soup for cold days is more than acceptable. Potato soup is at once nourishing and delicious. Peel and cut into allow a pound of potatoes. Chop up two onions and put all into a saucepan with an ounce of fat. Cook for five minutes with a lid over the pan; then add a pint of water and boil gently until all are reduced to a pulp. Add half an ounce of washed sage and a pint of milk. Cook again until the sage is transparent; then season with pepper and salt. Fruits, except berries, are almost unknown in the average camp. Lemons must be provided, and dried fruits make many good things. Where fresh berries or other fruits are at hand a sauce made from them is often a substitute for milk and sugar. Boll the fresh fruit until it is pulp and can be mashed. Press it through cheesecloth, sweeten according to taste, and when it is to be served heat it and, if desired, add spices. This sauce is excellent on rogrod, a favorite dish of the Swedes and Norwegians. To make it take one and a half quarts of water and add one and a half quarts of acid fruit juice and two heaping cupfuls of sugar. Let those ingredients come to a boil with a stick of cinnamon tied in cheese-cloth, which is, of course, taken out later. While the mixture is boiling atir in slowly so that it will not be bumpy a pound of snaked sage or a pound and a half of arrowroot; then boil it for fifteen minutes and turn into cups to cool and form. Air balls are another good dessert. Make a dough as for cream of tartar biscuits and cut in small squares. Fry these in exceedingly hot fat like doughnuts, lay them on paper to drain off the grease, then dip them in hot simmered molasses. Serve them hot. HOW THE HOUSEWIFE CAN SAVE HERSELF LABOR It is a trying task to cut gowns or skirts of crepe de chine, silk muslin, soft silks or any material which has a tendency to draw or slip on the table, and if you would greatly oblate the difficulty of cutting such goods, first cover the table with a felt or heavy cloth. In renovating feather pillows first open one corner of the ticking and pour boiling water in. This renders the feathers a kind of pulpy wet mass, which can be easily handled. Have ready some soapy water and take the feathers out and thoroughly wash them in this, using more soap if necessary. Then thoroughly rinse them in several waters and put back into the washed cover and hang it out in the hot sun. With a long, clean stick you can turn them occasionally through the opened corner. As the sun's heat dries the feathers they will swell to fill the cover and be wonderfully light and fluffy and perfectly clean without being scattered at all, which invariably happens when they are handled dry. A neat and very satisfactory way to keep patterns is to file them away in a twenty-five cent letter file. Keep this way flat they are not found rolled, or torn when the housewife needs them, and they are very easily found if the patterns of one class are fled away together. Some housekeepers aver that if a room is filled with smoke it can be easily cleaned by waving aloyeo one's head a towel that has been dashed in hot water and vinegar and then wring out. Used in a fanning fashion, it is said to accomplish the work in a few minutes. Only a little vinegar in a small quantity of water is required for the wetting of the towel. HOUSEHOLD KINKS. How to Circumvent Troublesome Damnage. There are to be had in the shops small glass salt shakers that are fitted with glass perforated tops that can be placed into position. There are especially may fall in the damp damp that always grows in the spring after the summer frost that disappears. For it is true that salt bequeathed in salt and water. As the unit collects the sapmilp in the air it causes the airway sap of the sap shale to oxidize. The sapmilp knows that it is a powerful impurity to keep after silver sap milp shale bright in damp weather, and this is the reason. The little glass taped shale obviates this trouble and are a time saving introduction. There are many ways of keeping wet from sticking in damp weather. One way is to mix the salt with cornstarch or flour; but, of course, this weakens the saline quality of the substance in the salt dish. A better way is to put half a dozen kernels of rice in the salt in each shaker. This rice absorbs, to some extent, the moisture and no keeps the salt moderately dry. It is hardly expedient to use kernels of rice in open salt dishes, and in these flour of cornstarch is the best thing. It is a good plan to keep salt dishes of all descriptions in a warm, dry place be tween meals. This will do much to keep them from collecting dampness. The salt should be changed whenever it seems sticky. It can be dried and used in cooking. Cheesecloth bags filled with charcoal which collect moisture, should be hung about in damp places. The charcoal can be dried in the oven from time to time to keep it in good condition. Charcoal can be kept in boxes or jar of cereals to collect moisture and keep them dry. Keep wafers and crackers and other things that easily become soggy where it is warm. If there is a coal fire in the kitchen the shelf over the kitchen store is a good place to keep things warm. If there is a gas fire in the kitchen that has a gas store only they can be dried out occasionally in the oven. BE YOUR OWN DOCTOR. How to Make a Pleasant Cough Sirup That Will Relieve Irritation Have you a troublesome cough that does not yield readily to the remedies you have tried? The following line proved excellent in many cases: Mix about an eighth of a teaspoonful of Hungarian paprika with a teaspoonful of strained honey and swallow the mixture. Sometimes relief follows immediately, and the pleasant sensation of warmth is most grateful when the cough is accompanied by the usual symptoms of a cold or the grip. The dose can be taken twice a day. THE ONLY SON. Oh, bitter wind toward the sun- set blowing. What of the dales tonight? In yonder gray old hall what dires are glowing. What ring of festal light? "In the great window as the day was dwindling I saw an old man stand; His head was proudly held and his eyes kindling. But the list shook on his hand." Oh, wind of twilight, was there no word uttered. No sound of joy or wall? "A great fight and a good death," he muttered. "Trust him, he would not fall." What of the chamber dark where she was lying. For whom all life is done? "Within her heart she rocks a dead child, crying. 'My son, my little son.' —Henry Newbolt. SUPERSTITION Superstition is a senseless fear of God.—Cicero. The superstition in which we were brought up never loses its power over us even after we understand it.—Leasing. Superstition is related to this life, religion to the next; superstition is allied to fatality, religion to virtue; it is by the vivacity of earthly desires that we become superstition; it is, on the contrary, by the sacrifice of those desires that we become religious.—Mme. de Staal. TO ONE I LOVE. You wept to see the roses die. The limp, pale blossoms, frail and sweet. Thon couldt for me, love, do no more. Though I lay dying at thy feet. You wept to see the roses die. Oh, love, how dark seem skies above. For how couldst thon love such as I When thou hast all the world to love? You wept to see the roses die. Shall I complain when all is done. That thy great soul for all can sigh. And my poor heart can love but one? —St. Nicholas. If an ordinance now being prepared is passed by the Trenton, N. J., commission, roosters will not be permitted within the confines of the city. Their early morning crowing has be come some objectionable of hate, and they are to be banished. Hens can be main, for eggs are prepared as a no necessity. --- The Scrap Book Wanted the Real Thing. Signor Mattel, the famous composer, who died not long ago, used to delight in telling this story upon himself. It seems that Mattel had been engraved by one of London's noted titled ladies to conduct a musicale. In her drawing room. In the course of the soiree the composer played his most famous waits. After, he had finished his hostess approached him and asked to play the very waits that had just delighted the guests. Mattel of course explained as tactfully as possible that he had already just played it. The hostess, quite unmoved, then said: "Oh, but that is not the real 'Mattel Valse.' My daughter plays that, and it is not a bit like what you just played." If we show that tomorrow Would be just like today. With not one touch of sorrow, No care to spoil our play. No doubt and no misgiving. No hew tachies and no fears. Then vein were all our living; We'd crave the joy of tears. We'd sign for sacred sorrow. We'd loop to feel the rain. And we should yearn to borrow The bleachedness of pain. For more than all the pleasure That came and quickly fled. Adown the years we yearn The tears that we have shed. —Edgar A. Guest A Clerical Error A salesman, travelling far from home and anxious about his home affairs, wished to write his wife so that she would answer immediately. He knew an appropriate Bible verse, but did not have a Bible hindy to see if he had the right reference. However, trusting to his memory, he wrote: 'Dear Wife-Proverbs xxv, 34. He received no answer to this, and when he got home he asked his wife why she had not written to him. She got the Bible and showed the verse to him. "Good heavens!" he said. "It ought to have been Proverbs xxv, 26." The Two Splices Count Zippolin, the German航onaut, who saw service in our own war between the states, told an amusing anecdote of army life in "G" in his reminiscences, which appeared in Der Greff, a Berlin magazine. Two spies had been captured on the banks of the Rappalmnock. One was a -Thillee the other of German birth. They were condemned to be hanged to the branch of a tree that projected out over the river, since such a death would save their executioners the trouble of burying them. It would merely be necessary to saw away the branch and let the two bodies drop into the water. The Yankee's turn came first. He still had a five-dollar bill in his pocket, and he pressed it into the hangman's hand with the whispered words, "For heaven's sake, use a frayed rope." The hangman did so. As soon as the Yankee was strung up the rotten rope broke and the condemned man fell into the water. He was a good swimmer, and so he managed to reach the opposite bank, which was within the lines of his own army. The 'German, when he saw what had happened, turned to the hangman with a voice that trembled with fear. "Potztausend!" he cried. "I beg of you use a stronger rope, for I cannot swim!" A. Moon Blunder Probably most public speakers have at one time or another suffered the annoyance of being misreported. A peculiarly unfortunate instance is recalled by G. W. E. Russell in one of his books. "A clerical-uncle of mine," writes Mr. Russell, "took the pledge in his old age, and at a public meeting stated that his reason for so doing was that for thirty years he had been trying to cure drunkards by making them drink in moderation, but had never once succeeded. He was thus reported. The reverend gentleman stated that his reason for taking the pledge was that for thirty years he had been trying to drink in moderation, but had never once succeeded." Too Good a Villain. An actor in a small company was unable one night to get accommodation at the only hotel in an English town, it is said, because its proprietor, a remarkably slow going person for such a place, recognised him as the villain in the melodrama who had stolen a cash box, set fire to a house, killed a detective, damned a race horse and betrayed the hero's sister. But something like this really did happen to George Scott, manager of the Albemarle in London, in his younger days. Mr. Scott was a huge villain of the deepest grit, and one of his favorite persons was that of the original Leroux in "Street Leroux." night in Blackpool he had occasion for wishing to change his lodgings and knocking at the door of a house in the next street, was greeted by the good lady who opened it with a shriek and the subsequent excclamation: "What! it's Leviac, the dirty villa! You can't ave rooms in my house! Get out or I'll call the perimeter!" HE COULD. DRAW. Artemus Ward Was Willing to Admit His Own Ability. On the occasion of Artemus Ward's professional visit to London, which occurred not long before his death, J. E. Preston Muddock says in his book "Pages From an Adventureous Life" that the American humorist's adventures of his "abow" were as full of funny surprises as the lectures themselves. One that tickled the general public was this: Artemus Ward Delivered Lectures Before All the Crowned Heads of Europe Ever. Thought of Delivering Lectures. And an excerpt from his lecture on "Drawing" is quoted by Mr. Muddock as a particularly delightful bit. "I haven't distinguished myself as an artist." Ward said in his inimitable way, "but have always been mixed up in art. I have an uncle who takes photographs ib his same moments, and I have a servant who takes everything he can lay his hands on at any moment. "At a very tender age I could draw on wood. When a mere child I once drew a small cartload of raw turnips over a wooden bridge. I was a raw nothing. The people of the village recognized me. They said it was a raw turnip drawing. That shows how faithfully I had copied nature. I drew their attention to it, so you see there was a lot of drawing in it. "The villagers, with the wonderful discernment peculiar to villagers, said I had a future before me. As I was walking backward when I made my drawing I replied that I thought that my future must be behind me." Don't Waste Time Every moment you now lose is so much character and advantage lost, as on the other hand, every moment you now employ usefully is so much time wisely laid out at prodigious interest. —Lord Chesterfield. Cendescension. Maybe the shah of Persia has a sense of humor. Maybe not. However, here is the story. On the occasion of a visit to Russia the Persian monarch was lavishly entertained by the caar. One of the shah's titles, of course, is king of kings, and he took care never to forget the fact. When the caar was seeing him off at the railway station at St. Petersburg the usual compliments and farewells were exchanged. Then, just as the F. YOUNG YOU MAY CONTINUE TO RULE IT. Persian autocrat was on the point of stepping into the train, he turned to his imperial host. "I have observed," he said blandly, "the way you rule this great country, and I am pleased. You may continue to rule it." He then hopped into the train and was half a mile off before the exar of all the Russians and recovered his breath. Locating the Blame. While on his vacation a railroad manager had his attention unexpectedly called to a matter requiring the expenditure of a large sum of money. A letter was necessary, and he found, after considerable trouble, that the little town possessed a stenographer. The magnate blamed the road's financial expenditure on the interstate commerce commission. "The fault," he dictated to his painstaking stenographer, "is entirely due to the I. C. C." When the letter was finished this is what he read. "The fault is entirely due to the key sea." - Argonaut. "What is the matter with the bar of today?" said a lawyer of yesterday at the Lawyers' club in New York. "Why has brinitility usurped wit? Why has the bully supplanted the recontent?" "I remember a case Elinn Root once won from me, a breach of promise case. My client, for all her broken heart, was a very pretty and vivacious girl. Root defeated her—and me—by peding his defense with the words: "Gentlemen of the jury, do you really think that this charming young lady's life is blighted or that her prospects of getting married are prejudiced in the law? I don't approve you do. Perhaps there's not one of you who would be aware of forming the acquaintance of no delightful a person. Why, look at her now! There actually smiling at me, but I must at once inform her that I am not in the most useful manner." LIBERTY DEFINED. Standing in his place in the convention during the fateful spring of 1798, Robespierre pronounced this definition of Liberty, which is almost the best of its kind: "Liberty is the power which of right belongs to every man to use all his firepower or he may choose. Its rule is justice; its limits are the rights of others; its principles are drawn from nature itself; its premier is the law." Whatever judgment may be passed upon Robespierre's conduct, certainly his thought on this fundamental question of Liberty was clear and sound. But during the years that have passed we have moved far away from this view of what is important in life. There has grown up, not alone, in America, but throughout the world, an astonishing widespread belief in the value of regulation and restriction not only as a substitute for liberty, but directly in opposition to it. That against which the leaders of the race revolted a century and more ago is now pressed upon us in another form as a desirable end at which to aim. Not liberty, but regulation and restriction are the watchwords of today, and they are made so in what is sincerely believed to be the greater public interest—President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University.

He who does a evil that good may come does a toll to the devil to let him into heaven. J. O. Hare The more common method of getting rid of an evil is to merge it in a greater. Thus, if one suffers a loss of half his fortune at play, he overcomes his mortification by losing the other half. The most ingentious expedient of this kind was that of the indigent gentleman of rank who married his washerwoman to get rid of her bill against him. Bovee. How to Remove Superfurious Hair.
