A scapseoat Wanted.

ATHENS. April 27.-In all proba- bilIty the Greek nation will try one more great battle, and if defeated in this 1t Is not unlikely that there will be change in the royal family at Athens.
 Discomfort is growing. and the King will be the scapegoat.
 The situation in the country and in Athens particularly is growing more and more serious. The news and the truth about the Larisa cam paign are just becoming known and cause in all classes a deep feeling of indignation and sorrow. People go to extremes and declare all the busi- ness of war was comedy got up by the Government, and the word treason is freely used. This is not the opinion of the irresponsible. but of the better classes as one in this in- stance with the mass of the people. All the facts about the defeat go to prove that the fault lies with the staff. lacking knowledge of the busi- ness of war and pluck in danger. The chief of staff, EaDountzkis,
 wired Friday asking leave to with draw his troops from the first line,
 " which he thought it was impossible
 to defend, The King answered that 1t was impossible to allow or forbid, as events could not be judged from Athens. Sapountzkis wired that he would take all the responsibility and thus ordered the disastrous and ! ! unnecessary ret reat whie!. degener- ated into panic. Thus the respon- sibility of the King seems no longer
 engaged.

ander, it was deemed prudent for Count
Zeldieka to seek safety in fight. Ger
many and England refused him refuge,
so he journeyed to New York, where.
with his wife and the younger members
of his family, he sought to live without
Russian espionage. Drink finally
drove him to suicide, and death de-
prived the countess of all her children
save one, bright 10y, in whom her
hopes were conferred.
In 1873 he shocked his mother by
marrying dancing girl. She refused
to meet her new daughter-in-law, and
bade her son quit her presence forever.
The lapse of a few days, however,
softened her heart and she sought her
son. To Philadelphia, Chicago, Gin
cinnati, st. Louis and across to San
Francisco and baef1 she Travelled, but
swallowed him up. The years passed
on and all hope seemed gone. Weary,
the old woman gave up the search, but
always exclaimed: HE will seek me
yet"
Twelve years ago she came to Allan
ia and settled down to live until death
should come and relieve her of her
sufferings. She led a very secluded
life and seemed wrapped up in one
mysterious thought. Through all
these years she still hoped to some day
find her son. Her strange figure and
peculiar dress always attracted great
attention when she went out, which
was seldom. She always wore quaint
little cap and pretty little apron.
Judge Kontz has in his possession
now few Of the treasured relics of
happier days that the countess kept
by her side all of the time. There is
strange old German watch that once
belonged to her son and a fine old
brooch. The most valued of all her
sacred keepsakes was the picture of
her son, which she almost worshiped.

An increasingly paying enterprise
for women, is that of dolls dress max
ing. There is said to be in New York
demand for such work, which is ight
and agreeable, affording something for
the semi-invalid to occupy her time
and hands with, lessening her loneli-
ness, while adding to her little store.
Yet, not every one can dress doll, it
requires taste and neatness, and some
patience as well. Only the excellent
will really succeed in the art.

tom of the grave, Mr.. Barclay stepped
out and began to pray. His voice
sounded strangely solemn and his sad
and simple words seemed singularly
appropriate to the occasion. Mr.. Bar
clay prayed that the dead countess
might find that peace and happiness in
heaven which she had sought so long
on earth. When he finished the invo-
cation the men began to shovel in the
earth and in a moment the coffin was
covered from view.

Petersburg in 1917 of a German ducal

is good plan to have loose salt where
the animals may have daily access to

Agricultural department says that salt
to the amount of quarter of pound

quested that the directions she had
given to her executor regarding her
burial be carried out to the strictest
letter. These directions were unusu-
al. She had always felt a horrible,
morbid fear of being buried alive. This
dread prayed on her mind continuous
ly and at times almost drove her era
Zy. She made her executor, Judge e.
c. Kontz, promise her that he would
have her heart pierced after her death
to make certain that she was dead. Dr.
John G. Earnest was summoned by
Judge Kontz to go to Barclays under
taking establishment and carry out this
last request. Before DR.. Earnest
pierced the heart he made very care
full examination of her body for any
sign of life. The body was cold and
not the slightest evidences of vitality
were apparent When DR.. Earnest
made sure that all life was extinct, he
took the embalming instrument called
a trocar and with this slender weapon
pierced the heart of the dead countess
as she had requested. When the del
icate little instrument penetrated the
flesh there was not the slightest CULVER
ing of the fixed cold muscles. The
countess was certainly dead. For a
moment the physician and undertakers
stood around the body. Then DR..
Earnest slowly drew the trocar out of
the body, bringing with it the stains of
the hearts blood of the dead coun-
tess.
The body was prepared for burial
as the countess had always requested.
She was attired in white satin burial
gown with white stockings and shoes.
According to her instructions and the
customs of the royalty of Germany,
the body was drawn to her grave by
four milk-white horses. There was
no funeral sermon. The dead woman
had asked that there be none, and
there was only simple prayer by I'm
dertaker Barclay. For minute he
prayed earnestly and fervently that
God might bless the ashes of the dead,
mony, the dirt was piled in on the
coffin and the body was shut out from
human sight. 1t was a strange burial
No minister was allowed to attend and
the unusual quiet of the interment
caused an uncanny feeling to thrill the
frames Of the few attendants gathered
around the grave.
The shades of night were falling
when the burial party reached the Gem
etery, and this served to make the
four white horses, which drew the dead
to its last resting place, look more I'M
real and ghostly, and the scene was
especially unearthly when the grew
some looking coffin was lifted from the
plumed hearse and lowered into the
grave.
Perhaps the crowd around the bier
partook of the superstition that had
been a ruling spirit of the woman who
was dead before them. They stood in
anxious silence as the coffin was placed
in the grave. No one spoke. There
was not even a whisper. When lit
tie clod of dirt became loosened and
fell into the grave it sounded like the
report of a cannon to the strained
nerves of the men, who jumped as if
badly startled.

NEW SHRUB THAT is A REMEDY.
A Sure Cure for Kidney Diseases and
Rheumatism.

A Sure Cure for Kidney Diseases and
Rheumatism.
It is no doubt true that next to con-
sumption, more people die yearly from
diseases of the kidneys than from any
other cause. In some respects Kidney
disease Is the most dangerous of all
maladies, because 1t usually has made
much progress before the victim is
aware of its existence. 1t is. there
fore, with great pleasure we commend
to our readers the recent discovery
in East India OF the Kava-Kava shrub,
which has proved a most powerful
remedy for diseases of the kidneys,
rheumatism, or other ailments caused
by uric acid in the blood. The cures
wrought by this new remedy are indeed
most remarkable. Many who have sun
cred from the most severe forms OF the
disease, have been completely cured in
from twenty to forty days by the
Kava-Kava shrub In the New York

clew of Gordy's connection with the

Mrs. Lewis in New York and else

There is sort of romance connect

Lewis. Messick related the story. He
said that one time Gordy came home
from trip and brought with him
some matrimonial papers. Several ad-
vertisements of women of means" who
wanted to meet men were marked. In
this manner he grew acquainted with
Mrs. Lewis. He said that she was
worth $4,000. He also talked of an
other woman he had met who had $780,

to these women is asked by many.
