On the b6dy was found a portion ~

the words appeared to be. They were
aim ost illegible. The body must
have been hanging there since July or
August, for the flesh had all disap-
peared; and there was nothing but
bones left. \ The wolves, also, seem to
have made feast of the body, and it
was left in horrible state. There
was not besides the paper to indicate
the mans identity.
The man did not commit suicide for
lack of money; for in his pocketbook
was found s6.7s. The silver dollars had
corroded even inside the leather case.
The watch which the man had was
green from corrosion, and there was
very little left of the clothes.

The society has had this plan of relief
under consideration for some time, but,
it is stated, was reluctant to assume the
dangers and responsibilities involved.
Miss Barton feels that it will be the
most extensive relief work undertaken.
Letters and kilograms have come from
all directions urging that the work be
undertaken. The Red Cross party. in
GLIDING Miss Barton, will leave immc-
diately after being assured of a su1fi-
Gent sum to carry forward the work.
The start must be made at an early day,
as it will take five weeks to get to the
distressed district, and the demands Of
the suffering people are urgent.

Unconstitutional

The attorney general has decided
that it, is unconstitutional for public
schools in this state to beSopened with
prayer or reading of scriptures. The
matter was laid before him several
days ago by the state superintendent
of public instruction, to whom q letter
of inquiry had been written by teach
er in q country district, who had been
accustomed to having the children re-
peat the Lords prayer each morning,
and to which proceeding one of the pa
rents objected. The superintendent
was asked to decide. This he has now
done, through the attorney general. It
seems that this custom is somewhat
common in country districts in the
state. and in some of the larger, towns
also, and the opinion. therefore. will
be of considerable interest.

The term for which Mr.. Sutton was
