ITALY's CHAMPION BRIGAND.
MusOlino LenGthens His Record by
Numbering His Followers.


LONDON, Oct 21.-The champion Italian
murderer and brigand, Musolino, is still
industriously adding to his record. At the
beginning of this week he was nearly
caught by the gendarmes and his escape
was such a narrow one that he quickly ar
rived at the not inaccurate conclusion that
the few people forming his encourage were
not loyal. He is reported TO have killed
every one of them in his rage. He GER
tainly murdered two. for the bodies were
found labeled with warning to traitors.
He has also announced his intention to
kill the unhappy reporter of the Naples
Courier" who. as related a couple of weeks
ago. sought him out and interviewed him.
Muscolne obtained a copy of the Courier"
containing the report and took objection
to number Of phrases therein which APP
peared to him to prove the reporter spy.
The reporter eagerly accepted the offer of
a post on a newspaper in Rome
The authorities of Reggie Calabria are
making immense efforts to capture Muso-
limo. Forty mayors of villages suspected
of more or less guilty communication with
the brigand have been dismissed and their
places taken by officers from Naples and
the entire military forces of the province
are now afield.

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible maiady
nearly always inherit it--not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant III the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance--or swollen gland III the
breast, or some other part Of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perna-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows:
A small piinplc came on my jaw about an inch
below the ear on the left side of my face. gave

Docking racilitic. Needed.


An urgent appeal is made for dry docks,
and many arguments are made. The re-
port says in part:
The bureau feels the necessity OF again
calling attention to the need of additional
docking facilities for vessels of all classes.
There are available at the present time
on the east coast of the United States but
nine Government dry docks of all sizes.

these but one is of sufficient size to take
the battleships. The docking facilities
available are severely taxed under exist
ing peace conditions. The increase in ia
cilities by the completion of docks already
under construction and appropriated for

need for such facilities in the increasing
number of ships in service and in reserve.

lauons, as least once every six months

and might result in keeping a considerable
portion of our naval strength ineffective

urged that the increase in dock
ing and repair facilities in an adequate
ratio to the increase in the fleet is

and 1t should be especially enphaslZ
that in this most important matter war

must always be kept in view. Under the
present policy only the increasing peace

that Great Britain has. distributed in
eight Of her nome ports alone. ffty-two
docks and locks available for

FROM HERBERT SPENCER.

Right conduct is usually come short
of more from defect of will than defect
of knowledge.
Precepts often heard and little re-
garded lose by repetition the small in
fuence they had.
There are lies told by actions as wen
as lies told by words. and ethics give
no more eountenance to the one than
the other.
1t is the duty of every one who re-
CARDS doctrine as true and important
to do what he can towards diffusing it,
leaving the result to be what it may.
There is no immediate connection be-
tween blood thirstiness and the telling
of lies. Nor because. man is kind
hearted does it follow that he is truth
full.
Most people dread far more the social
frown which follows the doing of some
thing conyentionally wrong, than they
do the qualms Of conscience, which fol-
low the doing of something intrinsically
wrong.
Complete truthfulness Is one Of the
rarest of virtues. Even those who re-

Few people have a correct impression

is the great disease of the tropics. 1t
is the principal cause of sickness and

1t, and practically 1t alone, is the rea-
son why Africa is the Dark Continent;
why some, in fact most, of the fairest

are but bowling wildernesses covered
with worthless jungle and Inhabited

annually of fever, principally malarial,

THE FREIGHT BUSINESS.
1T Is Not the Haphazard Thing Many
SunnOse.

1t Is Not the Haphazard Thing Many
Suppose.
Most people have an idea that freight
is the last thing that railroads look af
ter. Many profess to believe that a
piece Of freight once started on its
journey is allowed to loaf along at its
own sweet will and pleasure, stopping
where it wishes and staying as long as
it likes, and only bringing up at its des
tination when there is nowhere else to
go.
When you have waited day after day
for that piano which was shipped Il
month ago you are ready to adopt that
opinion. But don't be In a hurry. When
that piano box shows up in Poughkeep-
sic at the time it should be in Portland
the Poughkeepsie agent does not I'M
case the instrument and give a series
of box car recitals for the next two
months. You may think he does, but
he doesn't. Not a bit of it, There is no
welcome anywhere for the wandering
Willies of frelghtdom. No agent wishes
to be caught with missing freight piled
up in his yard or house The truth of
the matter is the railroads are continu
ally punching it to move on
1t is an interesting study to see how
the railroads handle their immense
freight business. TO the outsider
freight office seems like confusion
worse COMPOUNDED, but to the men who
have been trained to the work it is all
as simple as a problem in short divi,
sion. No matter how far from home
car is it is always in touch with the
home office. If the car has had bad
luck and one Of its trucks is sprained
the nome office knows about it and
sends an order to have it placed in the
nearest ear hospital and doctored up to
working condition. The office knows
just what the car is earning, and if ii
thinks its travelling expenses are get
ting too big it shifts its route or calls
it home. 1t is only once in a while that
a car gets away from the home office
altogether, end when one does there
is no sleep for any one till the runaway
is found and started in the right dlrec-
ton.
After you have listened to a freight
agents description of the elaborate
plans to look after freight, you will
marvel that single package ever goes
astray.
But the man who is waiting for that
piano knows that it does.-Lewiston
