Prairie Dogs Thriving.

The droughtin the western one thru
of Kansas. which has made barren that
vast region, has had no effect on the
prairie dog crop Those little ANIMALS
continue to thrive, and the more des-
olate the country on account Of the lack
of moisture, the more numerous are the
little pests that are Just now making so
much trouble for the frontier farmer
who j. earnestly coaxing his wheat and
corn TO grow IN the dry soil.
Travellers over the lines Of railroads
which rum through Western Kansas
are greatly amused at the many prairie
dog towns They are to be senn every
where. During the day they are out
near their holes hunting for something
to eat. When one approaches they
dart down into the earth, into which
they burrow several feet They are
very destructive in corn and wheat
fields They burrow down and take
the seed, and they also live on the
green blades as soon as they come
through the ground.
The farmers Of western Kansas have
tried many plans for exterminatlng
these pests, but Farmer Dunforth, Of
Gray County believes he has discoy-
cred way, though very expensive, by
which the pests can be exterminated.

A Young MANS Best Help.

In answer to the question, what
is the best help to young men ~ Mr.
John ClaAin writes
II should think that all business
men Of whom this question is asked
would reply, Industry Surely that
is what helps every merchant ! can
not say that l have worked hard my
self in the generally accepted sense
Of work. but I feel that l have been
industrious, and if have made any
success at all I attribute 1t to unre-
hitting industry. Perhaps. also. /
have business qualities which, by de-
velopment. have aided me, but it was
industry which helped along the de-
velopment.
Industry counts, Of course, but not
for success or fame unless it Is backed
by sound moral qualities If l We're
asked TO tell young men what will help
them most to success in business /
would say: Be honest. Be on the
lookout for opportunities. If no oP-
portunities arise. make them. Be
certain YOU are on safe ground and
advance cautiously Be firm IN an
opinion and hold TO a decision once
formed. Eat and sleep at regular
hours. and reduce your whole life to
its simplest common denominator.

quite a loud tone, that they We're, both
Of them in hard luck, and We're gong
to Topeka in search of employment
One of them placed his ticket on the
seat while he lit very inferior cigar
and his companion quietly picked 1t
up and put it in his pocket \ ie"
minutes later the man missed hs uck-

mime of turning out all his pockets

IN apparent penltenCe

was forced upon me. When you re-
i've this letter l shall be no longer IN

oa. Darling Mario, care for our be-
! wed children. Tell them that loved
you dearly, land that fell through no
fault of my own. Forgive me, Mario.
Goodbye, forever"
All the show of penitence, however,
had the one object of incitipg Carnevali
to avenge his supposed wrongs upon
D'Ottavi. Penelope had no more idea
of taking her own life than of telling
the truth about her relations to her
last lover. Promptly after sending the
letter she swallowed some harmless
fluid from bottle labeled poison"
rejected the assistance of the frighten-
ed servants, who thought she was kill
ing herself, and then disappeared so as
to leave the impression that she had
gone away to die, although, in fact, she
went to the home of an officer in Pal
ermo.
Carrevali, meantime, had returned
to his home. He heard that his wife
had taken poison and disappeared. He
loaded his revolver, went to the po t.
office, and, without word Of eXplapa-
ton, shot D'Ottavi five times. DOT
tavi fell dead by his desk. Carne-
vail went to the police station and JUS
tilted his act with the story told in his
Wile's letter.
Up to this time the police knew moth
ing of the poisoning of Jones. When
they searched D'Ottavi's desk, how
ever, they found the incriminating let
ter which Penelope had given him as a
guarantee of her faithfulness. They
found, also, other letters, which proved
the falsenes5 of the story told in the
letter received by Carnevali in Rome.
The search for Penelope was begun,
but was long fruitless. When found in
Palmero she was living under an as.
sumed name with cavalry. captain OF
the Italian army. She had not remain
ed faithful to him even for the short
time she had passed under his protec-
ton. He had fought two duels on her
account, and was still nursing the
wound from the last one. He had been
lucky enough, however, to engage
nurse: otherwise he might nave been
Penelope's third victim, for she was
tired of him, and was seeking a pre-
text to leave him for young count.
Penelope is described by the Roman
dailies as wonderfully beautiful, despite
her eleven years of intrigue and crime.
Among the many witnesses against her
and her husband is Walter Jones, the
brother of her first husband
On September 8, the date OF the last
Continental newspapers received in
New York, the result of the trial in the
Frosinone criminal court had not been
published. The verdict was not await
ed with any uncertainty, however, as
the universal opinion was that it must
be guilty in each case.
Carnevali has suffered keenly since
be learned that his wife planned to
treat him as she had treated her first
husband. Penelope has been placid
and apparently Indifferent to the result
of the trial,
