Tulsa, Okla., Oct. 5.—The Reuter murder case, one of the most sensa- tional in the records of Tulsa, was called in court today and it is ex- pected the trial will get under way the first of next week. Charles T. Reuter, a lawyer, formerly of Peoria, 111, was murdered in his home in the west residence section of this city on teh night of May 5 last. The po- lice investigation resulted in indict- ments for murder being returned against Mrs. Laura M. Reuter, wid- ow of the slain man, and Guy D. Mackenzie, “Dud” Bellew and Joe Baker. Belew is alleged to have con- fessed that the motive for the mur- der was “love, revenge and robbery,” though -declaring at the same time that the wife had mno knowledge that her husband was to be Killed. Mrs. Reuter is confident of acquittal. and public sentiment now appears to be strong in her favor. READY FOR FLEET VISIT.

In various parts of the world the poorer classes consume little or no bread, the London Globe observes. Baked loaves of bread are practically unknown in portions of southern Aus- tralla and Italy and throughout the agricultural districts of Roumania, Austrians aver that in the village of Obersteirmark, not - very far from Vlenna, bread is never seen. Th ple food is sters, a kind of porridge made from ground beechnuts, taken at breakfast with fresh or curdled milk, at dinner with broth or fried lard and at supper with milk. This dish s also called heiden and is substituted for bread not only in the Austrian dis- trict mentioned but in Carinthia and other parts of the Tyrol. Northern Italy offers a substitute for bread in the form of polents, which is-a kind of porridge made of boiled grain. Polenta is not, however, al- lowed to granulate like Scotch pore ridge or the Austrian stersz, It is in. stead bolled into a solid pudding, ‘which is cut up and portioned out with 8 string. It is eaten cold as often as it s hot and 1s in every sense an Italian’s dally bread. There is a variation of polenta call- ed mamaliga, the favorite food of the poorer classes in Roumania. Mamaliga resembles polenta inasmuch it 1s made of bolled grain, but it is unlike the former in one respect—the grains are not permitted to settle into & solld mass, but are kept distinct after the fashion of oatmeal porridge. * LEARNED CHIVALRY IN WILDS Men of the Frontier Spontancous In Their Tribute to Woman Met in Cas Fashion. James Oliver Curwood, sauthor of “The Flower of the North,” tells the following story about the men to be found in the country about Hudson Bay, where the scene of his story is laid: “I was at Prince Albert,” he says, “sitting on the veranda of the little old Windsor hotel, facing the Sas- katchewan, During the few days previous a number of factors, trap- pers and half-breed canoemen had come down from the north. Ome of these men had not been down to the edge of civilization for seven years. Three of the others had not been down in two, and this was the annual trip of the other eight—for there were Just eighteen of us sitting there togeth- er. “We were smoking and talking ‘when a young woman turned up the narrow walk leading to the veranda. Immedlately every volce was hushed, and as the woman came up the steps those twelve roughly clad men of the wilderness rose to their feet to & man, each holding his cap in his hand. Thus they stood, silent and with bowed heads, until the young woman had passed into the hotel. It was the most beautiful tribute to womanhood I had ever seen, And I, the man from civil- ization, was the only one who re mained sitting, with my hat still on my head.”—Pittsburg Chronicle-Tele- graph, Seven Daughters Enough. Rev. John W. Cavanaugh, president of Notre Dame college, tells of a priest who was giving a lecture on the evil of great wealth. Iu the audience ‘was 8 man the priest knew. The man ‘was the father of seven girls, and the lecturer pointed to this man as an example. “Think,” said the priest, “of beimg the proud father of seven daughters. Think who is happler—the man with a million dollars or the man who ia the father of seven daughters. “I will ask you, Mr. Sheldon, who do you think is the happler?” said the priest, pointing to the subject of his argument. The man arose and said: “Father, I think that a man with seven daugh- ters is the happler. A man with & million dollars worrles for more. A man with seven daughters never does."—] City Star. 8t.

According to Herbert Spencer, love between man and woman arises from each serving as the representative ot the other's ideal. This ideality must be preserved if love is to remain, and to insure its preservation there should be not less, but greater, regard for ap- pearances between husband and wife than between any other people. Equal- ity of rights should aleo be recognized. A man cannot regard as his type ot the ideal one whom he tries to com- mand, and whom he has lowered by denying an equality of privilege with himself. Divided Old Island. ‘Windmill island ocoupled a position in the Delaware river between Phila: delphia and Camden. A channel that was cut through the island for the passage of ferryboats divided it. One- half was afterward known as Smith’s Island, the property having been acquired by a family of that name. It was on Smith’s island that the resort known as Ridgway Park was located. Both islands were removed by the government for the purpose of deep- aning the channel in 1894. Thoughts on Education. Educated people are often so stupia a8 to make one doubt .whther the poor can gain all by education. But, on the other hand, uneducated people are often so wise that we fear they have gomething to lose, even if they have nothing to gain, by being edu- cated. In short, the modern methods of political reform, even when they have done well, have not done so ob- viously well that it is certain to be s “enefit to extend them. Women’s Valuable Thoughts. Among the first American patents taken out by women were those for & fountain pen, a baby jumper, and| the first cook stove. Mrs. Ada Van Pelt of late years Invented a per- mutation lock with three thousand combinations. A woman invented a process of making horseshoes which saved the country $25,000,000 in four- teen years. Another woman was of- fered $20,000 for her paper bag pro cess. Here is a woman who speaks from personal knowledge and long exper- ience, viz: Mrs. P. H.
