In “The Balkan Trail” Frederick Moore tells the story | of an Itallan officlal of the Ottoman bank who had taught himself English and was enraptured at the chance to practice it on English people. It was with much pride that he ad- dressed us at supper, but we did not recognize the language he spoke and expressed in French our unfortunate ignorance of foreign tongues. “That is your own tongue,” said the Italian, but even of this statement we understood not a word, He drew a pencil from his pocket and on the back of a letter wrote: “I am speaking English.” We were astounded. “Perhaps I do not pronounce cor- rectly,” he wrote next. “I have learned the noble language from books.” The hilarious Englishman in our party gave the unhappy Itallan his first real lesson at once. He took the pencil and wrote: “Always pronounce English as it is not spelt. Spell as it s not pro- nounced.” The Bite of a Rattler. The Cherokee lndians’ cure for the bite of a rattlesnake is at once so com- mon sense and scientific as to merit a widespread acceptance. Its common sense lies In the fact that the victim has or ought to have the necessary implement always at hand, there need not be an instant's delay, and that it 1s the scientific plan goes without saying because it carries away the poison at once. The Indian at once, when bit- ten, drawing his knife, pinched up the part bitten and cut it out, then, seek- ing the nearest stream, not often very far away, plunged the leg in the run- ning water and kept it there until all bleeding had ceased and, as my in- formant, an old man, told me, seldom suffered any ill effects. Usually, as we know, no physician can be reached or reliable remedy had until the case is too far gone for any effort to avail, but With a knife and, if Dot a running stream, water enough to keep the wound well washed and the blood flowing I believe there would be fewer deaths following rattlesnake bites.—Forest and Stream. A Martyr to the Fox. A fox can climb almost as well as a cat and will often be found lying in trees and on the top of ivy covered walls. High walls covered with ivy often surround private residences in hunting districts. One of these do- main walls caused the tragic death of a hound in the south of Ireland a few years ago. There was a belt of trees with thickish undergrowth close up to the wall, and the hounds were running a tired fox hard through this belt. Suddenly the cry ceased; there were the unmistakable growling and worry- ing which proclaim a kill. The mas- ter jumped off his horse and pushed his way through the undergrowth. On getting to the pack, instead of finding a dead fox he saw to his horror one of the best hounds torn to pleces. It was easy to understand what had hap- pened. The fox had got over the wall by the help of some ivy, and the hound had tried to jump over after him, but, falling back among the others, had been killed before they realized their mistake.—London Standard. The End of the Chace. Two ladies, friends of the superin- tendent, were visiting a hospital for the insane. During the noon meal the superintendent remarked that the door of the violent ward was being repaired and that the guards would have to be unusually watchful until it was fin- Ished. After dinner the ladies went for a stroll down the beautiful lane leading up to the main building. Sud- denly they heard footsteps as of some one running behind them and were horrified on looking around to see a di- sheveled, wild eyed man pursuing them. One of the women quietly stepped to the side of the road. The other, screaming at the top of her volce, ran down the road with the ma- niac close upon her heels. At last, spent with running and gasping with fright, crouching in anticipation of the blow which she was expecting, she waited her fate. The man, panting and grinning, tapped her lightly on the shoulder and sald: “Tag! You're it.”—Cleveland Leader. Trying to Explain.

MAY RESULT IN ARRESTS Loss of Grand Jury Notes In the Hyde Case. Kansas City, April 27—If Judge Ralph Latshaw had known last week as much about the disapbearance of the grand jury notes which fell into the hands of Dr. Hyde's counsel last Wednesday as he does now three per- sons would have been ordered arrest- ed by him, he announced. Furthermore, he said, if he had been notified of the loss of the papers as soon as they were missed he believes they never would have got into the hands of the defendant’s attorney. He added he would put it up to Prose- cutor Virgil Conkling to take some action. “I have told all I know about the ocase to the prosecutor,” said the judge, Miss Rose Churchill and Miss Eliza- beth Gordon were the only two wit- nesses before the court during the morning session. Both went to the Swope house on Dec. 4 and remained during the typhoid epidemic. Their evidence was similar to that of other nurses who have testified. The First Pantomime. John Rich has the credit of produc- ing the first pantomime ever seen in England. This was performed on Dec. 26, 1717, at the theater in Lin- coln’s Inn Fields. Rich had found him- self unable to compete with the legiti- mate drama at Drury Lane, so he be- thought himself of the comic masques occasionally performed in London and combined with their scenic and me- chanlcal effects the maneuvers of the pantomime ballet. The result was “Harlequin Executed,” which the ad- vertisement of that day described as “a new Italian mimic scene, between a scaramouch, a harlequin, a country farmer, his wife and others.” There was all the business with which we were familiar from childhood, huts turned into palaces, shops into gar- dens, houses into trees. Of course the “earnest student of the drama” pro- tested against this innovation, but Harlequin, Columbine & Co. have maintained their hold on public favor 2antil the present year of grace. The Retort Aqueous. Even in the midst of horror there is occasionally a rift of humor. It is sald that at the time of the Johnstown flood a grocer to whom one of the citi- zens owed for an overlong time a good sized bill for provisions while floating along on the top of the waters in a raft made of two window blinds and & skylight caught sight of his delinquent debtor whirling around in one of the pools of the eddying current clinging to a large hogshead. “Ah, there you are!” cried the grocer, businesslike to the last. “Been look- ing for you for several days. When are you going to pay that bill?” “Can’t say just now, Sands, old man,” returned the unhappy debtor. ‘I'm having all I can do to keep my head above water these times.”—Har- per’s Weekly. Catching a Bride. Among certain Siberians the bride- groom is not permitted to have a wife until he can catch her. But they do not give him a fair race in the open. The bride, surrounded by her female friends, awaits him in a big tent. As soon as she sees him she runs off. He follows like Hippomenes after Ata- lanta. But instead of obstacles being thrown in the way of the bride they are thrown across the path of the bridegroom. The pursuing groom falls over old women, chairs, tables, stones and fishing rods or is tripped up by ropes. Only when it is feared he might give up and sulk and go away ‘without the fleeting lady is he permit- ted to overtake her. Then as she falls into his outstretched arms it may be imagined she utters some equivalent of “This is so sudden!” A Live Steak. “It 18 a mistake,” said the president of the New York Waiters’ club, “to think that an Englishman always wants his beef excessively rare. As a matter of fact, the English like their beef better done than we do. I omce saw a waiter,” he continued, “serve an 'English duke with a cut of very, very rare sirloin. The duke looked closely at the slice of bright red meat. Then he sald: “‘Waiter, just send for the butcher, will you? “¢“The butcher, sir? the waiter stam- “Yes) sald the duke. ‘This beef doesn’t seem to be quite dead yet.'” r for World Peace and Lower Tariff on Steel. TALKS WORLD PEACE AND TARIFF REVISION Carnegle Would Compel Nations to Arbitrate Disputes. Washington, April 27.—“If I had the power I would force Germany and England to make some explanation of their action in disturbing the world peace by going on with their arma- ments. I would assert our right to be consulted. I would tell them they must submit their quarrels to a tri- bunal.” So declared Andrew Carnegie, who is here to dedicate to the “peace of the Western world” the new building which he gave to the Bureau of Amer- ican Republics. “President Taft can’t say that,” he added, in a talk to the members of the Natlonal Press club. “But he has laid down the solution of the question between peace and war. He will go down in history as the first ‘ruler’ who had the boldness and courage to an- nounce that a nation has a right to sit in judgment on its own case.” Referring to the tariff Carnegie said: “If congress decides to lower the tariff on steel onme-half I would say, ‘Good, next time.take it all off.’ We no more need a tariff on steel than Wwe need a tariff on wheat, but we had better go too slow than too fast.” Burglars Raid Wisconsin Town. La Crosse, Wis., April 27.—Two bur- glars mounted upon muffle shod horses rode into Sparta, thirty miles east of here, blew the safes of the John D. Young Lumber company and the Morse & Dammon Hardware company, robbed the grocery of David Bros. and escaped before the town was eroused. Circus Tent Collapses. New York, April 27.—The big can- vas tent of a circus which has been exhibiting in Jersey City this week collapsed in a thunder storm, killing one man and fatally injuring another. The cages containing the animals were also beneath the canvas and there was panic among the occupants, but the bars stood the test of the falling poles and canvas and none of the animals was able to escape. Lawyer Given Prison Term. Pana, Ill, April 27.—Attorney E. E. O’Farrell was sentenced to from one to ten years in the Chester peniten- tlary for embezzlement. He was found guilty of confiscating $7,000 of money belonging to Mrs. Malinda Vickrage. O’Farrell attracted national attention a few years ago by drawing up a contract for the exchange of wives. — What You Want Few realize the completeness of our stock, but it is seldom a customer goes out of our store without £ having in his or her possession the article called for. | | Is Here!

Helps l)ivméd Wife to Be Happy With New Love. DONATES HOMEAND INCOME ' Following the Failure of His Efforts for Reconciliation the .Famous Au- thor Takes the Attitude of a Gener- ous Patron of His Former Spouse and the Young Dramatic Critic With Whom 8he Became Infatuated. Lendon, April 27.—The romance of John Ruskin, his wife and Sir John Millais, one of the womder stories of real life, in which Ruskin gave his wife to Millais, his friend, and still held that friendship dear, has been outdone by James M. Barrie, the au- thor and playwright. Mr. Barrie, with all his fantasy, could not have conceived a more fan- tastic situation than that in which he figures today. The decree of divorce which he sought from his wife after he had dis- covered her infatuation for Gilbert Cannon, a young dramatic critic, has been made absohite. Barrie had en- treated his wife to return to him, of- fering any terms she might demand, but Mrs. Barrie would not listen to him. Continues to Love Woman. Then he sued and obtained a di- vorce. Even after that he found his great love for his wife as strong as ever and again made overtures for a reconciliation, holding out the most extravagant inducements. They were rejected. Much to the surprise of his friends, Who believed that the final separation from Mrs. Barrie would find him 2 morose and heartbroken man, he has taken the attitude of generous patron of his wife and young Cannon. Just after the divorce decree be- came absolute Barrie voluntarily turned over to his former wife the deed to a beautiful home at Farnham and settled an income of $750 a year on her for life. He also had made ar- rangements to facilitate the marriage of Cannon and Mrs. Barrie and prac- tically will act as the best man at the wedding. SEALING STEAMER REPORTED LOST Vessel Had Crew of One Hun- dred and Eighty-seven. St. Johns, N. F., April 27.—The seal- ing steamer Beotheic, which arrived here, has brought from the fishing banks a report that the steamer Au- rora has been sunk. It is feared, according to the report current at the fishing banks, that her entire crew of 187 men lost their lives. The Aurora had been missing since April 1. No more definite news is ex- pected until the next arrival from the banks. Those on board the Beotheic and Erlk reported that a number of seals killed by the Aurora’s crew and “panned” upon the ice had drifted ashore. The Aurora is owned by C. T. Bow- ering & Co. of Liverpool. She is a wooden steamer with a tonnage of 580 .gross and 386 net. She is 165 feet long, 30 feet beam and was built at Dundee in 1876. She has been seal- ing from. this.pert every year since 1877, & INDICTED FOR REBELLION Cuban Negro Leader and Twenty-two Followers. Havana, April 27.—Indictments were returned against General Evaristo Estenoz, the negro leader, and twen- ty-two other negro prisoners, charg: ing them with the crime of inciting rebellion and instigating anti-white violence. The evidence submitted indicated that extensive preparations had been made for a general uprising against the government on May 24. IMMENSE AMOUNT NEEDED Patton Syndicate Must Pay for 200,000 i Bales of Cotton. Chicago, April 27.—It s estimated that Patten, Browne, Hayne. and Scales will have to pay for over 200,000 bales of cotton May 2. They will be able to form a definite estimate of the quan- tity they will have to take on May purchases April 29, as delivery notices must be sent out that day. To pay for 200,000 bales at 15 cents a pound, or $75 a bale, means $15, 000,000, which has been arranged for without any trouble, although McFad- den, the cotton leader in the East, has tried to make it appear as though the TRAGEDY OCCURS IN CHURCH Missouri School Director Killed by 2 His Cousin.
