''Look at the facts for a moment.
Our government protested against
England's Venezuelan move, and
England ignored the sprotcst. Then
we demanded Of England that She
arbitrate, and England natly refused.
Then we threatened England with
dire things, and told her that if she
did not arbitratc she must take the
consequences: and she promptly told
us she'd take them. .:.5.-m

Macdonald the hole in four. He
tapped his ball in the drive for the

A jealous Husba nd's Crime,

WICHITA, Kan, June %. @,
e. Hart, a prominet farmer, shot
and killed his wife, Ida, last
evening, then ended his own
life in the same way. Jealousy
prompted the act.
Hart had accused his wife of
intimacy with a local business
man and last night bought a
revolver and started out to kill
him His search was unsuc-
cessful and he had apparently
gotten over his desire to kill and
spent the day pleasantly with
his wife. In the evening he sent
her for cigar and while she
was away wrote a farewell let
ter to their friends and signed
both their names to it. Then
the moment Mrs. Hart returned
he shot her. Before neigh
bors, who had heard the
shot, could arrive Hart turned
the revolver on himself. Both
died within a few minutes after
being shot. The murderer and
suicide was a nephew of Judge
Ash, a prominent attorney.

with him upon the platform and
was of course recognized by one
of the aforesaid distinguished
North Carolinians, who sung out,

Human Race Is Diminishing.

The following figures and cal
culations taken from the st.
Louis republic shows that the
human race is getting smaller
each century. However we have
no cause for immediate alarm
that the human race will degen.
crate into liliputians during our
existence. The article is as fol.
lows:
A study Of the military records
Of Europe proves that in 1910 the
average height Of man was 5 feet
8 inches. During the following
100 years this average decreased
to 5 feet y inches. In 1880 the
average was only 5 feet 9 inches,
and in 1920 il was but 5 feet )
inches. AT the present time it is
but 5 feet 81 inches. II is an
easy matter TO deduce statistics
from the above figures TO prove
that human stature is gradually
on the decline. Figuring upward
using the same ratio, we find that
Adams SONS and neighbors aver.
aged 10 feet 0 inches in height,
and at the opening Of the chris.
tan era the average height was a
fraction over 8 feet. Looking
into the dim future, We can see q
time only 1000 years hence when
human stature will be reduced TO
an average Of only Is inches.
