brief funeral sermon which IS as
true as gospel: "a word to all
Post mcrtem prsi.es and love are IN
the air. People kiss their dead
who never stop to kiss their living;
they hover over caskets in hysteIic-
al sobs, but fail to throw their
arms about their loved ones who
are fighting the stern battles of life.
A word OF cheer to a struggling
soul In life Is worth more than all the
roses Of Cbristendom piled high on

smell the flowers. but the living
can. Scatter them broadcast In
their pathway and pluck out the
thorns before 1t Is too late, "

Was Aching In Self Defense
Evidence Showed That Prisoner
Could Not be Convicted
Of Crime.

The preliminary trial Of Yves

Fitzpatric, was begun yesterday
morning in Judge Payne's court.
Several witnesses were examin
ed, the trend Of their testimony
show that man by the name
OF Avert was drunk and creating
distur bance and that Fitzpatrick
and Devasha became involved in a
quarrel which appears to have
been general.
W.T.. Phelps, Of Norman, Okla
homa. was perhaps the strongest
witness for the prosecution and
his testimony was substantially as
follows:
Heard Devasha remark that Nc
Alester was the best man there OF
his size Avert was drunk and
raising trouble. Fltzpstiick came
up with his hand on his hand on
his gun. Devasha bscked away
with his pistol pointing to the
ground. Devasha warned crowd
not to press him. Avert was fol
loving him and threatening him.
Somebody caught and held him,
and then Fitzpatrick rushed up,
asking,
"who did you say was the best
nan on the groundsl"
Devasha said Joe MoAIester.
Fitzpatrick then stsrted away,
but turned and rushed back to
Devasha, ordering him to drop his
his gun, firing as he finished,
Devasha returned the fire aud
Fitzpatrick fell.
Will Fitzpatrick then took his
brothers. gun and attempted to
shoot but the gun failed TO work.
At the evening session OF court
several witnesses testified.
Upon conclusion of the testi-
mony attorneys for both sides
presented their views to the
court. Judge Payne weighed
the evidence carefully and at 10
o'clock p. m, discharged the
prisoner, the evidence very ap-
parently showing that he could
not be convicted.

a man answering to the description of
one who insulted Miss Carrie Written
ened her life with a pistol Miss
Written lives on Galveston street, Buena

ty when she was met by a strange man,
who insuted her. She resented the insult
drew a revolver from his pocket and threat
ened to shoot her If she ran. She increased
her speed and the man disappeared in the
woods.
Complaint was made to the Anacosta po-
lice and Miss Written gave a description of
her assailant. She described him having
a smooth face and red hair and thought
he about twenty-One years old. He
has fair complexion and blue eyes and
was wearing blue suit and black derby
when he accosted Miss Written. The de-
scription was sent to the different police
stations and the police in all sections of the
District We're notified to look out for him.
Mounted Policeman Michael Hagan later
arrested a young man named Arthur A.
Moore and took him to the station sus-
picion. His clothes were not such as the
young woman had described but he admit
ted he had such clothing at home. His blue
suit and derby hat were obtained and he
as the person who had drawn the revolver
on her, and he was held to answer charge
of assault with a dangerous weapon. He

WEATHER OF THE WEEK.
Reports Show It to Have Been Very
Wet East of the Rockies.

The weather bureaus weekly summary VI
crop conditions is as follows:
AS whole the week was very wet in the
districts east of the Rocky mountains, with
temperatures generally above normal, eX-
cept over the middle Rocky mountain slope,
where it was moderately cool. While the
excessive rains interrupted farm work and
delayed the maturing of late crops, they
proved favorable for termination of fall
sown grain and placed the soil In fine con-
dition for blowing and seeding. No damage
resulted from frosts, which were confined
to the central and northern Rocky noun
tain districts and extreme north Pacific
coast regions. The general conditions on
the Pacific coast were favorable, although
rain is needed in eastern Oregon.
The weather has been very unfavorable
for maturing late corn in the central val
leyS and lake region, especially over the
northern portion of these districts, and The
reports indicate that corn in shock has
been considerably damaged by dampness
and mold over wide area, and that much
of the crop in the upper lake region and
Missouri valley will not be marketable.
Reports of injury from rain to open CO.
ton are very general throughout the belt.
with the exception of the Carolinas ana
portions of Texas, and sprouting and rot
ting in hollis are largely reported. especially
in the central districts. Picking, thoug1
much interrupted, is well advanced and IS
nearing completion in some districts. Late
cotton in central and northern Texas Is
making rapid growth, but will not mature
unless frosts are unusually late, and under
these conditions a light top crop may also
pc gathered In Alabama. A fine crop OF
Sea Island cotton is promised in South
Carolina
Late tobacco has been materially improv-
ed. Cloudy and rainy weather which has
been Very general throughout the week,
mas been very unfavorable for curing.
But little, if any, change in the apple
situation is indicated, the crop being light
in the middle Atlantic states and Ohio val
ley, with more favorable conditions in the
upper lake region and Missouri valley, fine
yields of good quality being gathered IL.
some states.
While blowing for fall seeding is much
behind in portions of the Missouri valley,
