gan a prompt investigation of the case
failed to discover the criminal.
A few weeks later after Miss Haw-
kins' return to her home she ate an
apple and was taken suddenly sick.
Only prompt medical aid saved her
life. as the apple had been poisoned
by strychnine.
The next assault upon her was made
early In the summer. One evening she
was holding a lantern for her father
In the back yard when o quantity OF
vitriol was thrown in her face. In tho
excitement. the miscreant escaped and
no trace OF him was found.
The last attempt upon her life was
made last week. She was eating sup

while partaking of sliced peaches she
noticed a peculiar taste. Her suspi-

more saved. Her condition is still

The authorities of A~shtabula. Ohio,

terested in unearthing the individual
or individuals who have made four
consecutive attempts upon the life of
Miss Lillian Hawkins, a young lady of
that place. whose reputation is of the

~unsolved and meantime the young vic

shock of the fourth attempt upon her
life. She declares she knows no per-
son who should seek her life. nor any
reason why she should be attacked.
Last December the first attack was
made upon her. Shortly before Christ

European Tax Methods.

Europe investigating the methods OF
taxation and municipal government In
different countries OF that continent.
In a recent interview in Berlin he said:
THE taxing methods of Europe ap-
proach much nearer to fairness,
Justice and equity than do American
methods. Broadly expressed. It Is the
European theory that the support of
government, both national and local,
should be derived from rents, interest,
dividends and profits. No tax iu con-
templated on means of production, but
only on results of production, provided
1t Is profitable. This may have its
drawbacks. but to my mind 1t Is q
thoroughly true and wise principle"

A Sensible scheme.

There Is a little town in New Jer-
sey where an improvement league has
done more to cleanse and beautify
the place. at an expense of less than
800. than the council has accom-
plished by expanding thousands OF
dollars In the ordinary way. The
league began by Offering prizes for
clean back yards and alleys. and then
for the prettiest v~ine-covered fence,
the finest vegetable plot. and me most
beautiful Towering plant. 1t enlisted
the active interest of the boys and
girls. and got them to pick up waste
paper and such things from the
streets; to keep the school yard neat
and also the vacant lots. In 81,
months time the town became par,
ticularly attractive and clean. and tn,
death rate has perceptibly decreased

A Dog which Attempted Murd.r.

A dog which had attempted murder
as deliberately as a human being ever
did was shot by his owner In Texas
recently. A rancher's wife named Har-
ris, living near Santa Rita. had a big
Irish setter. of which she was ex-
tremely fond and which was devoted
to its mistress. When Mrs. Harris
first baby was born and received all
the petting and cajolery which the dog
regarded as belonging to him. he be-
came intensely jealous. One day he
seized the baby from the floor and
bounded away with 1t to the river.
He swan out into the current and
dropped the child into the water. The
baby was rescued with some dinicul.
ty and then the dog was killed.

Value OF south African Horses.

One OF the great lessons OF the Boer
wal was to show the value of the
South African horse. II the Beers had
not been SO excellently mounted as
they were, on horses bred in the
Transvaal. Orange Free State and
Cape Colony. the war would have
worn a different aspect. The South
African horse can live on much less
food than an English horse; he does
not suffer from the climate; he does
not tumble into holes; he is sounder.

Lord P~auncefote will bring back from
London his governments consent to
an isthmisn canal treaty drawn In ac-
cordance with American wishes. The
compact has not yet been formally
written, but there Is every reason to
believe that England has agreed to ac-
cept it In every principle for which
the United States has contended. The
treaty Is nothing more than an agree
ment' on the part OF England to the
abrogation of the Clayton uiwer
