Found i'm Burning Straw
stack Near Clayton, Mo.

St. Louis, June 4.-Twelve-year-ol
louis Fink found the body of an wn-
identified man in a burning straw
stack, Sunday afternoon, on the farm
of his father, George 7. Fink, near
Clayton.
The boy, frightened almost out of
his wits by the sight, ran away as
fast as he could go. He met Charles
Mario, of Clayton, who induced him
to return, and with the aid of Deputy
Sheriff Belleville they drew the corpse
from the flames.
Grasped tightly in his right hand
was revolver with all five chambers
empty. The muzzle was pointed to-
ward the body, and the thumb of the
| man was on the trigger. Two bullets
had penetrated the stomach, one the
left breast, ond one has glanced from
the breast bone. The wood on the
handle of the weapon had been
burned away. Everything indicated
that the man had lain down on the
straw and shot himself, thus setting
| fire to the stack.

A WoMAN'S QUESTION.
Elizabeth Barratt Browning !

Elizabeth Barratt Browning
Do you know you have asked for the
costliest thing
Ever made by the Hand above
A woman's heart, and woman's life,
And a woman's wonderful love?
Do you know you have asked for this
priceless thing
AS child might ask for toy?
Demanding what others have died to
win,
With the reckless dash of boy.
You have written my lesson of duty out,
Man-like, you have questioned me;
Now stand at the bar of my woman's
soul
Until | shall question thee. "='7777 se
You require your mutton shall always
be hot,
Your socks and your shirt shall be
whole;
| require your heart shall be true as
Gods stars,
AS pure as heaven your soul.
You require cook for your mutton anC
beef
require far better thing;
A .seamstress you're wanting for stock
ings and shirts
look for man and king,
A king for a beautiful realm called
Home,
And a man that the maker, God,
Shall look upon as he did the first,
And say sit is very good"

From my soft, young cheek one day
Will you love me then, mid the falling

Is your heart an ocean SO wide and deel
[may launch my all on its tide?
! A loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made bride.
I require all things that are grand ant

HAS ADOPTED NAE|N|TL.
The United States Has the Most
Powerful Explosive Yet Con-
ceived by Man.
ITS USE WOULD MAKE WAR UNPOPULAR.
Twelve Inches of HarSeyi1ed Nickel
Steel Armour No Protection
Against shells Propelled by IL,
and II Is the Least Dangerous En-
uIOsiVe to Handle.

New York, June 4.--fhe Press says:
Maximite, the new explosive invented
Oy Hudson Maxim, has been adopted
by this country after series OF sue
eessful tests at the Sandy Hook prov
ing grounds. The secret of the eX-
plosive, it is thought, may revolu-
tioniZe warfare. 1t is said to be
more deadly than lyddite, yet so
safely can it be handled that the dan
ger attaching to its use is less than
that incurred in transporting ordt-
nary powder.
A chell propelled by it will pierce
12-inch Haryeyized nickel plate.
Never before has plate of this
strength and thickness been pierced.
The tests have been made by the
ordnance board, and have been con-
Quoted with great secrecy. The opin-
on is expressed by experts that max
mite may revolutionize the building
Of battleships and Notifications. The
tntensitiveness of this explosive is so
great that red hot iron may be
thrust into mass of it without caus-
ing an explosion. The explosion of
the compound, after passing through
The plate, is accomplished by means
of a fuse. Shells filled with lyddite,
the high explosive adopted by the
British government, filed in the same
way as was maXimite into the same
shells, and fred at plate an inch
and half in thickness, all exploded
on impact, where the maXimite shells
passed through the steel plates a foot
in thickness. These tests of maximite
are regarded as having demonstrated
that there is no warship of any navy
capable of outstanding its destruc-
tive effects. Mr.. Maxim conducted
these experiments in person, there be-
ing no one present except the ord,
mace officers and experts representing
the government.
In an interview Mr.. Maxim said:
Should the United States now be.
come involves in war with any 9TH
er power, we will be able to throw
high explosive projectiles through
the thickest armor of our enemies tc
explode inside their warships, while
they, in turn, would be able only tc
penetrate our armour with solid shot
or at least, carrying no bursting
charge whatever"
He thought the moral of these new
Developments is that the ponderou'
battleships must go, and be replaced
by the smaller, swift torpedo boat OF
torpedo gunboat and cruiser.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets int1amed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
nal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an intlamed
condition of the mucous surfaces We will
