CONSERVATION in social circles where
both the count and his wife were prom
inently known. The countess was
woman of unusual beauty and she was
often seen at the theatres, race courses
and other resorts frequented by the
elite of Paris. She was daughter OF
Count de Viennay. whose family is
highly respected. She was married to
Count Charles de Cornulier ii years
ago, and three children are the result
of the union, the eldest of whom is Is
years of age.
The marriage proved an unhappy
one, and acting upon the advice of her
father. the countess separated from her
husband four years ago and has since
lived in private house at Auteil. Re-
Gently a decree was rendered giving
her possession of the children. The
count then began his espionage and
discovered that the countess frequently
visited M. LerouX, one of her former
admirers, but the best information is
that NJ. Leroux acted as the legal adj
wiser OF the countess. 1t is stated that
her father chose him to manage her
affairs.
DIED IN AMBULANCE

roux's house. but the countess did not
pay visit to her adviser. To-day find
ing her landau before Mr.. Leroux's
door. the count secreted himself on the
stairway and when the countess des-
cended without a word fired three
times, each shot taking effect His
wife never regained consciousness after
the shooting, dying in the ambulance
which was summoned to take her to
the hospital.
CALLED FOR A PRIESTS
The count was exceedingly calm up
on surrendering himself. saying, "I did
1t, am her husband" He was the

KIowA cHIEFrAIN LONE WOLF.
A Former Relentless Savage Who
Accepts Civilization.
(From tie Detroit Free Press.)


Wherever the treacherous cruel, blood
thirsty Kiowas went-they formerly roam
ed from the plains of southern Colorado to
beyond the Rio Grande into old Mexico
they left death and destruction in their
wake, and among the foremost instigators
of cruelty was Lone Wolf, then a young
chief. After the Kiowas were confined on
the Comanche reservation, Lone Wolf and
other chiefs crossed Red River went into
Texas on a plundering tour, killed several
white people, and brought back with them
to the reservation several captiyes. Lone
Wolf shrewd and keen ttl not want to
deliver them and said he Would do so only
when Satanta and Big Tree, two Kiowas
noted for cruelty, were released from the
penitentiary, and the Comanche reserva-
tion extended from the Rio Grande TO the
Missouri River.
This instance is cited for the purpose of
illustrating his shrewdness and intelli
gence, for that was thirty years ago and
Lore Wolf was then a young man. Since
being thrown in contact with agents and
white missionaries. and learning by obser-
vation and experience that white men are
not now enemies but friends. a complete
chnge has taken place in Lone Wolf as It
has in Quanah and other leading chiefs of
the COmanche reservation.
The leading characteristic of the Kio-
was is their obstinacy, which they have
recently demonstrated in the trouble they
have given their agent in taking their al
iotments and so Gtrenuously opposed
we're they to the opening of the Comanche
reservation that the ones now surveying
il report that the Kiowas have removed
The cornerstones so as to retard the work
of the surveyors. But. happily, Lone Wolf
is not so obtuse as to share their obsti-
macy, neither in opposing the reserya-
tion's being allotted nor in defyihg civil-
cation. He was among the first of these
Indians to patroniZe the Government
schools. bidding his tribe do likewise that
their children might be converted into
civilized citizens. 1t was chiefly through
his influence that the Kiowa Indian school
at Rainy Mountain. where he lives, was
established. His three oldest daughters
have a fairly good English education, and
are among the most intelligent and NEST
comely girls upon the reservation
Lone Wolf has Travelled much and is a
close friend OF Quanah. the Comanche
chief and conyerses fairly well in broken
English. He is an expert riileman, a su-
perb horscman. leader in the ghost dance.
and the Messiah dance. and man of great
influence with his tribe. He is promi 4,
nent leader in the ''mescal revelry." and
appears in rich gala attire at all celebra
tions upon the reservation. He Is the /
greatest orator upon the reservation,
shaming many Carlisle graduate. and /
recently had the honor of replying to a /
speech made by Representative Stevens OF ,

A CASE For THE DoCToR.-A little
girl of or years, with big blue eyes
that were full of tears, came to Belle
vue hospital the other day. She car
ried a cat in her arms. The cat had
been wounded by street car, and one
leg was badly mangled.
At the gate the girl told Tom, the
big policeman, that the cat was hurt.
~ want a doctor to hep it," she said.
Tom took her to the receiving ward,
where there was a doctor who had
nothing else to do.
"Here's a case, doc,' said the police
man.
~ amt a"-the doctor began. Then
he saw the girls eyes. "Let me see, "
he continued.
"Pretty bad" was the doctors COM
ment. Then he got some knives, a
little bottle of chloroform and some
bandages. "You must help me-" he
said to the girl.
She aided bravely, though it made
her very pale to see the sharp knives
amputating the leg. In few minutes
it was all over, and the cat was partly
recovering from the anesthetic.
"Now you can take that kitty home
with you," said the doctor.

No REASON For IT.-"Say, hustle
down to the stock yards right away"
said the city editor to the new repor-
ter. "There's fire down there. 1t
may turn into something big; but even
if it doesn't we want a good little story
on it, anyway"
The new reporter shot out OF the
door, with perspiration starting at
every pore. The fire didn't turn out
to be a great confagration, 80 no more
reporters were sent down to the yards
to take care of it. The city editor de-
pended upon his new man for the
story. But for some unaccountable
reason the reporter failed to return to
the Office, and the paper had to 60 to
press without the account of the fire.
The next day, about noon, the new
man strolled leisurely into the office
entirely unprepared for the thunder
storm that broke over his head as soon
as the city editor caught sight of him.
"Say, what the dickens is the mat
ter with you, anyhow ?" said the edi-
tor. "Why didn't you write up that

How TO TRIM FRUIT TREEs.-To
those who wish to learn as to the
trimming of fruit trees, let me say {:
Trim your apple, cherry, peach, ounce
or pear trees in July or August, cut
ting out all water sprouts and unnec-
essary branches on the lower limbs
and in central part of the top, so as to
admit the rays of the sun freely.
Trim with sharp instrument, cut.
ting, if possible, each limb with an up
ward stroke and as nearly to the main
limb or body as it is possible so as not
to loosen or tear the bark. And if it
is wished to save marks on the limbs
or trees, take few handsful of clayey
subsoil, make a soft mortar, and with
this in a vessel ut hand cover the
marks of the limbs out off: rubbing on
we'll, and this will protect the tree
from cracking and decay and will
often heal the marks over so that the
place of the limb cannot be seen.
Trimming at this season of the year
will produce less injury to trees, less
summer or water sprouts, and will in
crease the number of fruit spurs and
buds, also enlarging the buds more
than if done at any other time, thus
aiding the crop for the coming year.

ARSENIC For GLANDERs.-Mrs. A.
Grace, in The Globe. Democrat, says /:
81 notice in the paper of today that a
horse, dying of CHAMBERS, had to be
shot. Now, I want to say in your
paper that arsenic is remedy for
glanders. Several years since CHAMBERS
prevailed in Mississippi, and several
planters lost all their stock. At last
Major Montgomery's carriage horses
took it, and he had them taken to the
woods and told the coachman to give
them arsenic to kill them, as he could
not see them shot. In day or two
they went out to see if the horses
were dead, and to their surprise they
found the animals feeding and doing
well. Those persons who have horses
afflicted with CHAMBERS could try arse
mic, and it may cure them. If it kills
them, it is better than shooting. Major
Montgomery's man used about tea
spoonful of arsenic to each horse"
