On the comparigon of ths, without regard to the number tons of coal produced, and therefore g the number employed, this shows a decrease ,over the corres- ponding month of last year of 27, but in- asmuch as there was a decreass of about 15 per cent. In the amount of eoal mined it would appear that a smaller number of men were subjecod to the hazards surrounding eoal mining. The same situation ‘exists regarding the ten months period in Which 1629 ten were killed in mine accldents this Fear ‘o 1880 In the same months last ) got to the point that it has the requirements within the fixed pe- , | colle (to whether Germany has followed the law | | Br! | velopment year.

As a matter of fact there exists today, regardless of the commendable progress taat has been made, plenty of need for keeping re- Ientlessly at the work of preventing fa- talities. y MORATORIUM OR BANKRUPTOXa As conditions are brought to light opinion seems to incline more strongly to the fact that Germany under its ex- Isting conditions has been called mpon to pay greater reparations than it can. Just what the situation is ought to be possible .to ascertain, if in fact it has not already been revealed to the repara- tion commission. There was a time when Germany in- °d that it could not meet the de- nds of the allies, but it agreed to ry and since then it has been paying as the amounts came due. If now it has not the which to continue to meet| convince the allles to that is faced either bankruptcy ie arrangement whereby the pay- s can be extended over a longer pe- the expectation that as con- ditions in. Germany fmprove it will be able the more readily to meet its ob- gations. From the the recommendation of the Jritish representative on the reparation commisslon that there be a meorator- fum on payments by Germany. it wou'd appear that Germany had convinced h)rr\,l of its inability to pay, although the en- tire comm| mind, on may not be of the sams Nevertheless if it must default on its payments it would appear prefer- able that there should be a delay in the ion of the reparations rather than to undertake the task of collecting It ough bankruptey, There may be a division of opinica as right course in endeavoring to meet the demands, and Whether it has used its powers the best advantage, but a mo; doesn’'t mean escape evenm would mean deferment. : ver course i¥ followed there is son for believing that the al- fons will surround it with the to torium ards in order to protect s and hasten the time when torium can be lifted.

That China de- serves them it order to be in charge of its own affairs cannot 'be doubted but question arises nevertheless as to whether under its present condition it will be able to administer them, when it ems at the present time to be having S0 much trouble in agresing upon its own government. In view of the fact that the commit- tes on the far eastern questions has agreed in behalf of the countries it rep- resents to remove foreign postal agen- cies from China by a year from next January, there are good indications to belicve that it will be able to handle the responsibilities involved in a satis- factory manner. It is one of the ways in which China will be given a chance to show whether the demand for a rec- ognition of its administrative integrity was justified. Foreign postal agencies have been maintained in China because of ' the poor management and the inefficiency of the Chinese service. It meant a re- duction In the revenue of that céuntry but it was evident that the fault rest-] ed with Chins. However if it has been spurred on to greater effort because of this situation and is able to handle the mail service it is but just that it should be permitted to do so and through the step be encouraged to stiil greater de- cnd efficiency. China has sought muck at the conference and from all indications it bids fair to get much as the justice of its demands are real- ized and its ability to handle them ‘s admitted.

"It is your duty to keep your home happy as long as pos- sible. My John liked to tog himself out in' leather olothes and caps and scatter | ammunition wastefully, too, when he ‘was younger, and it took a good deal to make him see the error of his ways, but when it came to the episode of the moun- tain goat I told him firmly that he must choose between it and me! “There I Was peasefully resting on the veranda of the little bungalow we had for the summer, crocheting a wild rose or something innocuous, when I got the message from John, who had’ gone on & hunting trip with some men. ‘Hope you are well’ sald the note. ‘I have shot a wonderful mountain goat and am sending it down. Be careful of it and wait till I get there.’ “I have no idea what John feared I might do with the goat, that he should warn me. It was plain that he consid- ered it a treasure and somewhat nervous- 1y I awaited its arrival. Nothing in the varied experences of my life lent me any data whatever in regard to the proper. cherishing of a goat, mountain or garden variety. I could not have it in the house —if it rained, must I go out and hold an umbrella over it? Meanwhile the goat arrived in a spring wagon and they care- fully laid it out in the yard. “It was a disagreoaole looking goat and I could not sée what had produced John's enthusiasm in regard to it. I could not see why anyone should be filled with tri- umph at having bagged a mountain goat if this was a fair pample. It seemed all bones and skin &nd whiskers, having been carved up at the camp, and ex- tremely limp and loose-folnted. I tried to figure out what John proposed doing with it when he got there and whether it could possibly be that I would approve of whatever he intended in the line of disposal. “By no stretch of the imagination could I picture that goat as an alluring adjunct of our home. There seemed to be not a spot which it might adorn. It would not have made a rug on a bet and it couldn’t be used for upholstery. It was not at all the sort of trophy at which one would point with pride after a dinner party, ex- A TROPHY plaining carelessly that one had bagged it on & very dangerous hunting trip. In fact, I could see that the goat of which John was so prowd served no purpose in lite whatever, I was growing rather peeved when I got another message. “After hastily hoping that I was well he procesded With Instructions about what was left of the goat, He had «le- clded to stay on at camp for a while, he wrots, and ‘wished that I would box up the goat and ship it to & taxidermist. I was not to just tumble it into the box anyway lke a ot potatoeig ho or- dered, but pack it with care in order not to disturb its corstruction. He did not intend to have any shsent-minded taxi- dermist place the left hind leg of that goat on the northeast front end and call It a,day. Be sure that'the head was laid at the proper angle with the shoulders and fold the legs neatly below the tummy. I really dom't recall whether or not he added that I wes to comb and brush the whiskers, braid them and tie with a pink ribbon, but he might just as well, “I stood over the unfori“mate wretch whom 1 hired to attend to the internment of the goat, with the lettér in my hana ading the instructions verbatim_ Every :g'nq I told him what to do the man groaned in protest. - He said that he was an honest man, earning an honest living, and that he had packed everything from a grand plano to a “mnond ring, but never befors had a goat been thrust upon him, and he felt it deeply. “What withr soothing him and getting the goat mailed up and frying to recall whether I had forgotten any little point, such as a bunch of roses in its paw, 1 was somewhat of a werck when Jhe treas- tire finally got on its way to thé unhappy taxidermist who was to mount it.

Famous Trials THE HAYDEN TRIAL Remarkable in mary ways was the trial of the Rev. H. H. Hayden for the murder of a domestic named Mary Stannard in the fall of 1879. The trial took place at Hartford, Conn. The defendant had been, until a short time before the accusation, pastor of the Methodist Church in Madison, Conn., but at the time of the trial he had changed his religious occupation to that of a farmer Miss Stannard, the murdered girl, had been with the family for some time —more as a friend than as a domestic —until just before her death, when she went to live with another family. On Sept. 3, 1887, she was found dead at a point called Big Rock, near a de- serted highway. From her condition it ‘was supposed that a knife and stone had been used to dispatch her, and also in the body were found 90 grains of arsenic, 6 of which had remained in a solid mass in her stomack. Suspicion pointed to Mr. Hayden as the auther of the crime, the presumable motive being to prevent the threatened expos- ure of previous relations What made that suspicion even stronger was the revelation that the unfortunate girl had told a friend when'she set out for her last journey that she was to meet Mr Hayden. It appeared also that the day of the murder, Mr Hayden shad pur- chased an ounce of arsenic/at a drug | store in Middletown “to kill rats in a barn” When he was arrested, a blood- stained pocket knife was found in his clothes. The paper containing some ar- senic was also found in the barn. The defense was that the arsenic had been placed in the body after death to direct suspicion against Mr. Hayden, and to determine whether or not this was true Prof. Dana of Yale College presented his services The pro- fessor worked for nearly two years, ga- thering data, and information as to the relation of arsenic crystalized or otherwise, before and after being intro- duced into the stomach It was on Nov. 4, 1879 that the first phase of the case was heard. = From that date, the case moved slowly The medical authorities were unable to agree on almost an: fied that marks had been found on the face of the dead girl which resembled those of the nails of the shoes that Hayden had worn and that while the girl was either dying or dead, the pris- oner kicked her on the head and face and so left the marks The counsel for the defense was equally emphatic in their statements that the marks found on Mary Stan- nard’s cheeks were nothing like shoe nail marks, but were similar to th marks common in cases of putrefac- tion and resembled those caused by smallpox Dr White was also presént- ed on the stand on the 11 his ei- dence mainly supporting to the identi ty of the knife taken from the pris- oner and the clothes at the time of the murder Another witness, Talcott Davis, told upon the stand how he had visited the Hayden’s barn and found the tin box containing the arsenic which Hayden claimed to have put there for the ex- termination of the rats The State then testified in reply that the barn had been seached 10 days before Davis had visited it and nothing had been found They also claimed that the box had Does the Tea You Use Come in this Package ? Every day people the world over are buying tea in this flavor- retaining package. Matchless quality has LIPTON'S TEA Larsgest Sale in the World s 4 been placed there after the arrest of Hayden by some friend of his. In connection with the case, the ar- senic found in the body and that found in the barn were carefully examined under a microscope and compared with the arsenic in the jar from which Mr Hayden's purchase was made and also with samples taken from the other drug stores in the neighborhood the purpose being to see whether or not the poison found in the barn had been bought separately from that which Mr Hay- den himself bought. But all the tes mony availed very little for in nearly \every piece of evidence, if the State took one side the defense took the oth- er and in not ohe material point could they agree. 4 Hayden himself was on the stand for several days during the latter part of December and was an excellent wit ness in his own behalf The trial was continued without interruption until Jan 1 covering a period of close to three months, when the jury disagreed in a verdict standing 11 for acquittal and one for murder in the second de- gree Hayden was release on hail, but ‘was never again brought to trail. READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1921 Straight Backs Backs also tell their stories of char- acter, but you must not deduce from this statement that a crooked back means ‘“crooked” thoughts, or that a straight back reflects exclusively the characteristics of the man or woman who lives a “straight” life As a matter fact we are very little interested in the crooked back as a sig- nificance of character, for it denotes little other than the natural effects of a physical deformity upon the men- tal outlpok. It's not straight backs as opposed to crooked backs that weTe interested in, but straight backs in contrast with curved ones. Other things being equal you'll find that the girl whose back is straight and who squares her shoulders, is not of the emotional kind. So don’'t be ro- mancing or poetical if you want to makeé a hit with her. She sets consid- erably more store by opinions, argu- ments and principles than she does hy y point | personalities, On Nov 11 the State’s experts testi-'p Again you'll find that she is a pret- ty keen mental opponent, for her thoughts travel quickly. She may be impulsive, but you're not likely to no- tice It, for fast as her impulses may be formed, her thoughts usually have preceded them, to guide or hold them in check, as the case may be. For the rest, she may be lacking a bit in appreciation and sympathy, loyal enough, perhaps, but practical and not inclined to cry over spilled milk or break her heart over a man who does not reciprocate her affections. Tomorrow—Unconseious Shading GLEANED FROM FOREICNIl EXCHANGES This question of Egjpt is one of the great questions confronting the empire, and it ought to be drawn into the light, put in its true perspective, so that the world can judge what it is that Egypt is unwilling o accept, i she is unwilling, and what are the stumbling blocks to set- tlement. The danger is that the whole question may get shelved just because no- body has the time to give it the attention it demands; with the possible resuit that the criels may become still more acute, and may thrust upon us myre dramatic- ally the solution which was not found in time. Mr. Balfour’s Emotlon—The dslegates at Washington have seen something to which even the house of commons was commons could cite more than two or three occasions when Mr. Balfour showed was one and a quarrel with a Scottish opponent, best forgotten, was another. But for the most part he has worn an air of detachment, whatever his real feelings, and some who know him say that his fesl- ings are much deeper than the Wworld re- cognizes.
