An Encouraging Report.

Captain Franklin, U. S.A., who was
designated to report on provisions
made for the equipment and main
tenance Of the allied forces in China,
states, after impartial observation,
that the conclusion is drawn that the
American soldier was the best fight
ing man of all the allies, the best fed,
and the best cared for. He required
more and better food than the others,
and he had it. This fact seems to
have astonished the European troops.
The report further says that the
Americans kept the best policed and
cleanest camps. The British kept
fairly clean camps, but they seemed
to do it by spasms. The Japs were
fairly particular about their sanitary
arrangements, and the Germans were
even more careful, but they had the
highest sick rate. In transportation,
none of the allies could compete with
the Americans.-Succ

CHANGE OF PLANS.
Live Man VIII BE Used i'm Place of the
contemplated Manikfn.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The Times
says: The sentiment aroused by the story
published yesterday showing the intention
of the government in the case OF the United
States VS.. Lola Ida Henry Bonnie to intro
duce in court a lifelike reproduction of the
corpse of James Seymour Ayres has caused
a change in the plans of the prosecution.
After a consultation this morning District
Attorney Gould and Assistant District At
tOrney Taggart decided to withdraw the
PAPER mache body, and it will not be pro-
duced in court during the trial. This de-
cision was arrived at after a protest had
been entered by Attorney Douglass for the
defense and because Of the wave of horror
which passed over the city when the ghast-
" scheme was made public. 1t was dis
covered that any attempt to use a repro
ductiOn OF a dead body as evidence and to
parade it before a refined woman would
probably have a boomerang effect on both
the jury and the general public, and that
such a wave of indignation would in all
likelihood be aroused as would make the
conviction Of the accused an impOssibility.
In place of the manikin a live man will
be used. Maurice Joyce, the court crier.

in the interest OF the prosecution still Oc-
cupies a position in the office of the district
attorney beside the trunk found i'm Ayres's
room 1t will be sent away quietly and will
probably be destroyed. Mrs. BONNIE seemed
much relieved when she heard Of the change
in the plans of the prosecution. The change
Is heartily indOrsed by everybody connected
with the defense. and the prosecution seems
to realize that they came near making an
error.

PAPER MACHE FIGURE OF AYREs
NOT TO BE EXHIBITED.
Instead of the Proposed Manikiu N
Real Person VIII Pose as Mrs.
Bonine'S Victim.

BALTIMORE. Nov. 23-The Americans
Washington correspondent says: Despite
the statement made before the trial Of Mrs.
Lola Ida Henry Bonnie began that the
government did not expect to bring forth
any sensational witnesses or testimony
against the prisoner, It develops that the
government lawyers have in reserve a de-
cidedly sensational. not to say gruesOme,
exhibit. This is nothing less than a papier
mache figure of James Seymour Ayres. The
exhibit is an exact reproduction Of the body
OF young Ayres as Il was found in his room
on the morning after he VAS killed. The
manikin has been tinted to resemble human
flesh. and it is a most realistic representa-
ton Of a Human body. To add 10 the grue-
someness OF the exhibit the three gaping
bullet wounds are trUthfully represented.
When the exhibit is brought into the court
it will be carried on a bier covered with a
white sheet, and when exhibited to the
jury viii be placed almost directly in front
OF the frail little woman who is on trial
for her life charged with killing the man
the papier mache figure IS supposed to rep
resent.
The limbs Of the model are wired so as TO
move like those of a skeleton and the model
made 10 assume any position. The govern
ment proposes 10 use this figure TO d|isprOve
Mrs. BOnines story Of a struggle with
Ayres and that the pistol she claims he held
was discharged during this struggle ana he
was killed without her firing the fatal shots.
1t IS the intention OF the government TO
have a man struggle with this model in the
court before the jury and by this action
prove that AyreS could not have been shot
as Mrs. Bonnie claims he was. The trained
assistant will struggle with the manikin
and endeavOr to prove just how Ayres was
shot according to the government theory
n not according TO Mrs. BOnine's story
that il was done during the struggle to pre-
serve her honor. Besides the bullet holes
the model will contain every mark, stain,
bruise and popularity found on the corpse.
The measurements and proportions of the
manikin are exact and were taken from
the dead body of the man il is supposed to
represent. The model was made by the
most expert model makers of the govern
ment, and although the district attorney
will not say where ii was made, il is un-
OerstOOd that experts of the National

SNOW AND WATER SUPPLY.
Recent Experiments OF the
Weather bureau.

Some very interesting conclusions
have been published by the experts
of the United States weather bureau,
who have for several years been
studying the effect of winter snow
fall on the water supply of the sue
ceeding summer. The observa tons
have been confined to the arid regions
of the west, more particularly Colo
RADIO and Idaho, where the rivers and
streams derive their principal water
supply from the melting of the snow
on the mountains. The generally
prevalent belief that winter of
heavy snowfall is succeeded by
swollen streams in spring and sum
mer is not necessarily correct. II is
not the quantity Of snow that falls
during the winter so much as the CON
dltion of the soil when winter sets in,
the quality of the snow and the time
when it falls that determine whether
streams shall continue full late in the
season and furnish abundance Of wa
ter for irrigating canals.
An unusually heavy snowfall in
March will certainly be followed by
drought in late spring and summer
unless this snow is preceded by a
snowfall in the early winter II is

December and thus becomes packed

And exult in the roar and the rattle,
While the multtudes shout and the cam
non blaze out
The praise of the victor in battle;
But the victor will pine when the shout

And another will shine at the turn of the

You may garner your gain, like a farmer
his grain,
And boast of your bonds and your
money;
You may gather your wealth by struggle
or stealth
As gathers the bee its honey;
But your honey will pail in the heat Of
your pride,
And turn into gall at the turn of the tide
You may subjugate men, as swine to the

BY the rod of the tyrant are driven;
You may flourish the whip with a merci-

While force to your fingers is given;

You may prosper by wrong, as tyrants

And rule like a pitiless Nero:

But the tyrant will quail when the Judge
shall decide,
And the right will prevail at the turn of

self. 1t is usually the more simple
china that is ornameHted in this
way, and an attempt is made always
TO put the lettering upon the side or
wing of plate, as the professional
will say, to prevent wear. Old-time
china was frequently marked in the
center of the plate, and the marking
was worn away by the knife and
fork, says the New York Tribune.
In some instances entire sets Of
china for different courses are
marked, and always each piece Of
dish-the cover, the dish itself, and
if . soup tureen. the piece upon
which il rests. The letters for the
marking are always the initials of
the mistress Of the house and are
put on in script in preference to the
block letters. The lettering is usual
ly in gold, but occasionally one let
ter will be put in in color and the
others in gold.
The gold may be fiat or raised, and
upon this will depend largely the
cost of the lettering. The fiat gold
will cost six dollars a dozen and up

80 dozen and upward.
