Queen Helen at Target Practice.


Queen Helen of Italy is an expert
with rifle and revolver, and beat her
husbands best target score, altho he
has the reputation of being a mighty
hunetr. Her record is by no means
confined to target practice, either
When she was princess of Montenegro
hunting was her favorite sport, and she
has had many exciting adventures with
big game.
When she went to Italy as princess of
Naples she missed her hunting more
than any other feature of her girl life.
The prince had targets put up in the
gardens at Capo di Monte villa and
shooting matches were held there. The
princess invariably carried off the
honors, even when pitted against her
husbands men friends or the prince
himself Still target practice did not
quite take the place Of real hunting, so
her husband guessed again.
This time he gave his wife the island
of Monte Cristo, to have and to hold as
a happy hunting ground, and there she
had glorious sport with her guns and
her dogs, every season, until the assas-
sination of King Humbert called her to
a throne.
Now she has left off killing game and
has goen back to target shooting, but
she does not neglect her practice or
lose her enthusiasm.

McFetridge attracted attention at the
trial by taking up his own defense and
continuing it for three days. At the
end of that time he accepted the aid of
an attorney. He pleaded his shots were
fired in self defense. He said Robert
had often threatened to kill him and
that he was justified in taking no

however testified that Robert was ln-

Cruelty Denied.
Civil and Military Both Doing
Good Work for the
Filipinos.

Washington, May 29.-General Filipe
Buencamino. formerly Aguinaldo's sec
retary of war, called on the president
today, in company with Secretary Root.
He told the president his mission to
Washington was to correct some false
reports put in circulation with view
to discrediting the work both of the
civil government under Judge Taft and
the army. The civil government has
been doing n really wonderful work for
the good of the islands, and it has been
ably seconded by the army. The stories
of cruelties perpetrarted by our SOL
diers were either wholly untrue or
greatly exaggerated. The army had
conducted itself in a way to elicit praise
from all right thinking Filipinos and
Tafts commission had entire confidence
of all rightly disposed natives.

FOR LITTLE CRIPPLED CHILDREN.
A Crippled Canary Bird Sings in New
Orleans Hospital.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.1
"Down in Esplanade avenue, near
BAYOU ST. John, there lives lady who
has given much study to birds and
fishes" said gentleman VIII lives in
the old quarter. land she has quite an
interesting collection at this time. She
is Mrs. Sudier. and there is scarcely a
better posted women in the country
when it comes to the kind of pets she is
fcnd of raising, canary birds and gold
fishes particularly. She has made a
close study of the habits and modes of
living of canary birds and gold fishes.
Some time ago she found an afflicted
canary which had just come pecked
thru the shell. The bird had club feet.
1t could not get around as we'll as the
others, could not swing as gracefully,
could not cling to the side of the cage
with so much ease, and there was much
pathos about the way the little fellow
acted. The baby canary seemed to real
ize that there was a difference between
himself somehow and the other birds
that hoped and fiuttered around III
their cages with so much ease and
grace. But directly the little fellow
began to sing, and his singing was
revelation. He was the sweetest singer
in the lot. His throat seemed to have
silver lining, and the notes gurgled
out like like the laughter of brook
He was genius in trilling and twit-
tcring after the fashion of his kind
Mrs. Sudier soon discovered the rare
singing qualities of the little crippled
canary, and became more attached
to 1t than ever before. The little fell
low became the particular pet of the
whole flock. But its owner decided to
part with it. Out in Tulane avenue
there is little hospital. and it is filed
with little children all OF them afflicted
in one way or another. They all came
iato the world crippled in some way.
The little canary genius, with its club
feet, was sent out to the Children's
hospital. and he is out there now,
swinging in his awkward way and sing
ing to the crippled children of the in
stitution. Mrs. Sudier thought ii would
be an object lesson for the little chill
dren. So the little bird is out there
now singing to the afflicted little chill
dren, and he is no doubt a source of
great inspiration to them. 1t is a pretty
lesson"

Western Posts.

Washington, May 29-The fate OF
the military appropriation bill, which
just now is held up between the senate
and house in a conference which has
brought forth nc end of bitterness ana
feeling, is of more than usual interest
! to the western country As amended
by the senate by the addition of ST.
100000, provision is made for the build
ing of barracks, quarters and other
buildings, which would make Fcrts
Riley and Leavenworth the two most
important posts in the United States.
Mr.. Root, the secretary of war, has set
heart on making these the two largest
and most important military schools in
the world, with the possible exception
of the school in course of creation near
the national capital. The bill, in it's
amended form in the senate, offers the
necessary funds for the purpose. As
surances have also been secured by
Congressmer Bartholdt and Joy that

ance of the improvements in course at

Chicago Jury Declares His Books Unfit
to Read.

Chicago Jury Declares His Books Unfi.
to Read.
Chicago, May 29.-Chicago legally
voiced its disapproval yesterday of an
other literary idol of France, and the
said idol tumbled from the pinnacle OF
fame.
Twelve jurors, sitting in Judge Jonas
Hutchinson's court, measuring theiI
critical talents with the hosts of un-
couth literateurs who have gone be-
fore them, sentenced the works of M.
Honore de Balzac to the same oblivion
that engulfed Cyrano de Bergerac and
the throne of Rostand few days ago.
Rostand was branded pirate Bal
zac stands convicted of immortality.
Chicago. the arbiter, has laid the heavy
hand of justice on both culprits and
brought an end to their transgressions.
The condemnation of the second
member OF the French Academy
crowned the reading of extracts from
his foremost literary works in the Sc
clusion of Judge Hutchinsons court
room. There twelve jurors spoke Sal
zac's doom.
They declared the unabridged, the
uneXpurgated ard unadulterated edi-
ton of LA Comedie Humane to be
unfit for a place on the book shelves
of reputable and self-respecting fam
lily.
They asserted that to permit children
to read these books would be to imperil
the innocence of childhood, and that
grown folks would better let the dust
accumulate on their unopened covers
and uncut leaves.
The verdict of the jury was the OUT
come of suit instituted by George
Marie & Son, publishers, to recover
from Mrs. Mary A. Jerome and her
husband, George C. Jerome, the cost of
thirty-three volumes of BalZac which
had been delivered to the Jerome fam
lily.
Mr. and Mrs. Jerome live in OakwoCd
in an aristocratic neighbor-
hood. A book agent called at their
house in 1898, and after eulogizing the
merits of Bazac, offered to sell Mrs
Jerome a complete. unabridged trans
latio nof "La Comedie Humane" fifty
one volumes in all, bound in red moroc-
co. with the monogram of the owner on
each book, printed on handmade paper
and profusely illustrated, for $3.50 a
volume.
Mrs Jerome claims the agent told
her the books We're written especially
for children and would prove an orna-
ment to any library. Mrs. Jerome has
children and consented to become a
