The revision of the governmental code is expected to begin next month while the marshal is away. According to his friends Pilsudski has modeled the new Polish government on the system of the Uniteq States, but he has given the Polish President more | pcwer than the American Ex-cutive ex- | ercisas.

The French system, under which the premier is so_easily overthrown by the Parliament, Pilsudski regards as un- desirable for Poland. Referring to the Polish elections last November during which many of Pil- sudski's adversaries were thrown into jail, the informant of the Associated Press said: “The present constitution does not fit the Polish mentality. Marshal Pilsudski is democratic in belief and in practice, and he wants the constitution revised by constitutional means. That is why he did everything possible to win a majority {T\'orablc to his ideas in the last elec- | tion.” —— HUSBAND IS CONVICTED OF POISONING HIS WIFE Indiana Man Given 2 to 21 Years on Charge of Man- slaughter.

He didn’t lift his head to see where she had gone. The effort would have been too much for him. His heart was bursting against his chest. Each breath was a flame in his throat. At last he could go no farther. He was in the grip of such utter weariness as few men have ever known. “Come and get me,” he mumbled and then let himself sink. George opened his eyes on the beach. Ruby and a strange man were rolling him over a barrel. “You look like an oyster,” she told him. “O. K.” he answered and fainted. | Later Ruby told him how he had been | saved. She hadn’t gone off far. When she saw him go down she grabbed him by the hair and towed him to shore. The next day they were married. George ordered the priest to leave the obey clause out of the ceremony. “That's my wedding present to you,” he told Ruby, and she laughed. Charley Will, who was 1.

A little chloral in a drink, a trip through a trap door of the saloon and off he was, dead to the world. Twenty-five dollars was what the captain paid the saloonkeeper for him, and he wasn't going to pay any more in the shape of wages. There was blood on the moon through that whole crulse.

For 148 days that bucko giant sweated his men across the Atlantic and down | the West coast of Africa. Typhoons, simoons, squalls, all the thunder in the heavens, lashed at the ancient wind- jammer until her bones clacked to- gether at a puff of wind. She bucked and heaved like a man in convulsions, quivered, rattled and groaned as wave after wave sloshed across her bow. Half the time the poop was buried under water while the fo'c'sle deck stuck straight into the sky. Times without number the sails were ripped to shreds and those flapping de- mons took their toll of lives. They lost 2 man reefing in main skysail and a day later they lost another when the main- royal studding sail gave way and streamed like the white angel of death in the howling gale.

I didn’t eare what happened then and I just walked in on them. Luckily for me they were the friendly Enegawelas. “You know, thinkin’ back on them days it seems funny it all happened. It's so far away from the kind of life we know about. I liked them savages fine. I ate goat flesh with them, milk- bread and milly, which is like our hom- iny, for three months and one day four missionaries from Cleveland, Ohio, U. S.
