and yet women are never so strong as
when they use them. A woman's tears
are generally an evidence that she has
the wrong side of the arg lment, and
yet they are invariably the signal OF
her triumph.
Tears are a last resort when every
thing else fails, like cavalry reserve
in time of battle. A man may boast
as much as he pleases, about his stead
fastness and iron will, but when he
faces fearful woman he yields as
readily as did Coriolanus. His innate
chivalry makes his submission a sure
thing.

man shows by crying Is irresistible,
and she knows it. 1t is the water
power that grinds a man down to her
conception Of what a good husband
ought to be.

part in the civilization of the
wolrd. In tracing it's history it
Is interesting to note that it

More than two thousand years ago
the chatting dish fulfilled its true Office
as the promoter of mans palatable
pleasures at the tables of the wealthy
Greeks and Romans.
The chatting dishes of the ancient

Mystery of the Chatting Dish

When Helen at the chatting dish
Presided with bewitching grace,
1t seemed as though my dearest wish
Would have the girl in such place.
Enthroned she was as any queen,
An air domestic lent its charm,
SO fair face was never seen
Or, when she stirred, so fair an arm
Obedient made a cream
OF flour and underground with might,
Between times shifting at the steam
That leaked beneath a cover tight.
At what the mystic depths evoked
She once permitted me to look
And instantly l firm resolved
To eat it all and kiss the cook.
And when the blue and lambert fame
Was quenched and done the mixture
stood,
CTo which Nell gave a funny nance.
We both pronounced it very good
Perchance, Olympic deities
Had dish like thiS-I m mueh AFRAID
They lacked the best, because there is
None else divine as Helen made.
A sweet good night-despite demur-
And home with hopes and joys increased,
Where waited sleep and dreams OF her
A fine dessert to such feast.
Alas l dreamed most hideously
OF monSrous birds and beasts and fish
1DoM strange and sad a legacy
From dainty Eelen'S chafing dish!

Judge Cantrill overruled the motion.
He said the Defense had been given ample

The commonwealth insisted on trial and

MOTHERS TERRIBLE DEED
Killed Herself and Son and Inj ure d
Two Other Children.

New York, October 5.-Mrs. Lillian
Smith, of Inwood, borough of Manhat-
tan, while insane today shot and killed
her two children, Mabel aged three and
Andrew, aged eight years. She then
killed herself. Another daughter, Ethel,
aged 12 years, lies In Fordham hospital
at the point of death. Before shooting the
children, she forced them to swallow
caroblie acid. Owing to Mrs. Smith s
poor health, Mr.. Smith had rented
house at Inwood in the hope that she
would be restored to health. This morn
ing she drove her husband to the depot,
promising to meet him tonight upon his
return,
At three O'Clock Mrs. Smith sent her
coaehman and his wife for drive. They
returned shortly before four O'Clock and
they were met at the door by Mrs Smith
who said: Don't come in yet, take
long drive, there is plenty of tine.''
They again went away. but returning at
4 80 O. clock they discovered the tragedy
enacted in their absence.
The little girl had evidently been
killed first in the front room on the sec-
ond floor OF the house. The child had
been given carbolic acid which had
burned her tongue and lips. Then the
mother fired three shots into the chiId's
chest which was literally torn to pieces.
About this time Ethel, the eldest daugh-
ter, returned from school. She too, tast-
ed the carbollc acid. Again the pistol
came into play. The mother shot twice
at Ethel but only one shot took effect. A
few minutes later the little boy returned
from school, entering through the kitchen
door. The mother met him at the door
and shot him killing him instantly. He
fell and rolled under the kitchen table,
his school books falling In his blood.
Mrs. : Smith then returned upstairs and
in the hall shot herself In the right
breast. The bullet tore through her
body killing her instantly.

by the original company that appeared

PORTLAND THEATRE.
There is a good repertoire company at
the Portland theatre and their initial
performance was given last evening.
The play was entitled For Liberty and
Love- and is a strong military drama.
Miss Grace Hamilton, the leading lady,
Is very charming indeed and last eve
ming demonstrated her ability as an act
rsss, her work In the part of Charlotte
Casanova being very pleasing. Miss
Hamilton has fine stage presence, good
voice and wardrobe far above the aver
age repertoire leading lady. During the
engagement here Miss Hamilton will
wear many new gowns of the latest de-
signs. Mr. Leonard Rowe and Harry
King are actors of more than ordinary
ability and make a strong support for
Miss Hamilton. Mention should be made
OF Howard Adams and W. j. Hurley,
the former playing the heavy, that OF
Captain Morl, to the Queens taste, he
looked and acted the part to perfection.
The rest of the company deserve mention.
The play is billed for todayEs matinee
with an evening performance.
