brother OF John Breth, whose death
Is also under investigation, told Of a
visit he and his sister paid his brother
al West Point In August 1895, a few
months after his admission TO the
academy John said he had been eNer-
cised until he was rendered uncon-
scious and was revived with whisky.
Harry said that hazlng had become so
severe that extra guards had been put
on duty, and John said that such
proceeding was unusual. When the

A well-known legend of the Emper-
or Frederick the Great was that he
would let a spider be killed II
he could help 1t. The origin of his af-
lection for these insects was said to
be as follows: The emperor was ac-
customed to drink a cup of chocolate
every morning, which was brought to
him in his room One day, Frederick
was engaged longer than usual at his
writing-table, the chocolate meantime
remaining untouched; and when, later
on, the monarch went to drink II, he
discovered that a large spider had
let itself down from the ceiling and
dropped into the cup. Not wishing to
share his meal with the spider, Fred
erick poured the chocolate into the
saucer and gave 1t to a couple of his
greyhounds. The dogs drank 1t up,
and in a very few minutes we're both
seized with convulsive pains. They
both got rapidly worse and died with
every symptom of poisoning. Freder-
ick ordered the arrest of the French
cook, but before the man could be
captured, he committed suieide.-F. r.

Benefits the Customer,

To our patrons and the citizens of Mexico and
Audrain County,
MEXICO, Mo-, Jan. 0, 190L-We are
now entering upon the second year OF
our business under the cash system.
We have found the system most salts
factory and will say that in the past
year we have been more successful
than in any Of the preceding 5 years
of u business-conducted under the
credit system.
When we decided, on Jan. l, 1900,
to enter upon a cash system of BUSH
ness, many predicted that we we're
taking the wrong step. We have
disproved their predictions and not
only made a better business for our
selves, but have made new and staunch
friends by the system.
The benefits which we have extend
ed to our customers are almost too
apparent for us to explain them, but
We will say that u customers have
been given goods at closer prices I'M
der u new system than ever before.
All business is gradually, but surely,
coming to the cash system, which will
prove the salvation Of all who live on
the proceeds of their labor.
In closing we wish to thank all Of
our customers for past favors and to
solicit the patronage Of Others. Try
us and you will be satisfied, If you are
not we will go out of u way to make
you so. Yours for business,
