THE redoubta lie Muley Hassan,
Sultan OF Morocco, is dead, assassin
ated by his own sons friends, as re-
port has Ii, but that is matter Of
little consequence. 1t is more TO the
point the complications that may en-
sue. 1t is intimated that France
now may seek To control Morocco,
either by annexation or through the
agency OF some Of the native princes,
and thus recoup herself for the rather
unceremonious manner in which she
has been elbowed out CT her share OF
territory in the Anglo Belgian divis-
ion OF the Congo free state. What
harm wo Id il do If France were to
take Morocco - long as England had
possession OF Egypt and controls the
Mediterranean at Gibraltar? There
Is no hope for Africa except by diyis-
ion among the European powers. and
France should not be begrudged con-
troll OF Morocco, which is OF no use to
England.

Jennie Creek, ten years old, and liv-
ing at Muckford, Indiana, has reason
to be very proud and her friends have
good cause to be proud of her, and with
out doubt are so. While Jennie was
walking along the railroad track near
her home last summer, she discovered
that trestle across deep ravine was
on fire, and she knew that train bear
ing aload of passengers for the Worlds q
Fair would soon be along. With won.
derful presence of mind the child ran
to meet the train, and tagging it with
her apron brought it to stop. There
were many French passengers on
board, and on their return home they
reported to their Government the con-
duct of the child. And so Jennie
Creek has just received as reward for
her courage and presence of mind the
medal of the Legion Of Honor.

New York Judge remarks: "The
chair for murderers has greatly simpli-
fed the legal taking of human life.
The curiosity attending the business
has died out, and within few weeks
several criminals have been killed
with the slightest attention from the
newspapers, a paragraph or two by
telegraph being all the notice they got.
The killing is done expeditiously and
thoroughly, and the rope for such
purposes has come to be looked upon
as barbarism. We mention this be-
cause many wise newspapers declared
when the chair was first used that it
must be abolished.

It is hard, admits the New York In
dependent, for an old-fashioned far
mer on An isolated farm to bring himself
to believe in the widespread preva.
lence of tuberculosis among cattle, and
still harder for him to realize that IA
tai germs. that will eventually carry

in the innocent looking milk. But not
% very long ago dairy, not far from
New York City, was suspected of the
infection. Specimens Of milk from
twelve out Of twenty-five cows were
found to contain tubercle bacilli, and
portions Of this milk were injected
with thorough aseptic proportions -
into q healthy Guinea pig. The ami
NAL gradually emaciated. and in three
weeks died. The autopsy showed
chsesy tubercles at the centers of the
mssenteric and inguinal glands, and

military tubercles The dairy from
which that milk came was promptly
condemned by The Health Board.

Daybreak Concerts

hour OF half-past 1 to hear their
merry warDling. Sometimes it was

o{ these native singers has not been
thought Of for the com ng Peace
Jubilee. But then the hour they
choose for their entertainments and
are in the best voice is SO very un-
reasonable that the performers would
lack an audience. Think OF rising

afternoon affairs TO which modern

Ir Is not an uncommon thing to
sympathize keenly with sorrow and
suffering, yet TO be practically unable
TO sympathize with Joy. Such per
sons are indefatigable wherever there
Is trouble. They prove themselves to

but their interest cools when the
stress is over and their friends are
prosperous. Then they fancy they

To Make Toast.

Toast is regarded by many as a
