After being shot Mrs. Hines begged
to be permitted to see her children.
Her husband assisted her to stanch
the flow OF blood from the wound in
her breast, and unaided she walked
a mile to her home. Afterward. fear

HAD TO GUARD CHAMBERLAIN.
Not Safe for Prominent BritisheF to Visit
the United States.

Salem, Mass, Oct. 1. - The Salem
News publishes a story with reference
to the visit of Rt. Hon. Joseph Cham
Eerlain, secretary of tne colonies of
Great Britain. which has created a
sensation. 1t is said that Chamber
Iain's visit to this country was large
~ due to the discovery by the Scot
land Yard detectives of the dynamite
plot in which lyman. Ivory and 9TH
ers are alleged to be implicated. The
announcement by the police of their
discovery was made after Secretary
Chamberlain left England. The news
states that a few days after Secretary
Chamberlain arrived at Danvers two
detectives began duty at the home
of Mrs. Endicott. Secretary Chamber
lain's mother-in-law, guarding the
premises night and day and accom-
panying Chamberlain wherever he
went.
It was said that this was the re-
suit of the discovery that a man had
been seen prowling about the house at
night, but one of the members of the
Endicott family in conversation with
a reporter said that the detectives en-
ployed to watch the mansion were men
supplied by the United States secret
service department. and We're sent to
Danvers on information received at the
headquarters in Washington.

Honest Sweden.

The Swedes are punctiliously honest
and truthful When asking for places at
a theater, for instance, the ticket clerk
never fails to inform the applicant If,
owing TO the crowded state of the house,
q better position would be secured with
cheaper ticket than the one asked for.
Again, when parcels are taken out by
steamers from Stockholm to country
places in the neighborhood, they are
just thrown on to the quay, where they
frequently remain half the day without
being claimed. 1t never seems to occur
to any one that they could be possibly
taken by any one but their rightful
owners.
On a canal trip of any length u little
book lies IN the saloon of the steamer in
which each passenger keeps his own ac-
count of the number of meals and
drinks that he has taken during the
