Failure so far to. verify the story OF

I haven't heard word directly or
Indirectly MRS. Simons said yester-

pry that his name was confused with
that OF another Simons in his company
My sons and ourafriends have assured
me that the story is either a hoax or
someone hass bluhdered in reporting
the names. SO far they have been un-
able to find 1sAbe'S clothes and surely
he wore a bathing suit while In the

OF him having a; sister in the company,
his sisters are living in ST. Paul. Fur
thermore, my son, while visiting us a

If Nellie Zika, who lies on cot in

Boos, who shot the girl and himself
Saturday night, will have to stand trial
for murder.
After tossing for twenty-four hours
on bed of pain, the girls nerves gave

told how Boos had threatened and
then tried to kill her.
The couple were together on the
porch of Samuel Covington's house,
at 235 Commercial street, Saturday
night. Covington is Miss Zika's
uncle. A shot was heard by the peo-
pie within the house, and five minutes
later Mrs. Covington was told by the
people that Boos' revolver had been
accidentally discharged and both had
been shot. Miss Zika had a wound
IN her breast and bullet was lodged
in Boos' thigh

when he drew the pistol I was not

Suddenly he bent over and caught
me, holding the pistol in his hand
If you don't swear to keep away

and then the shot was fired.

CONSULS MAKE SIGNS
DR.. sTAMM COMMENTS ON LIN
quail LIMITS OF DIPLOMATS
Returns from Abroad and Declares
That Consular Service Is Filled With
Men Who Cannot Converse in Any
Tongue But EneIish-Costs Much to
Live Well Abroad.

Most Of those gentlemen sent
abroad to represent this country in
diplomacy have to carry on their cor
reSpondence with the natives by signs"
DR.. Gottfried J. Stanm, who return
ed home yesterday after a brief visit
to Switzerland, his native heath, made
this sharp comment on the ingual
limitations of the men who are sent
by the United States to "lie abroad for
their country" DR.. Stamm was glad
to get back to ST. Paul, in fact he adj
mitted that he had been a trifle home
sick, and as soon as ne arrived at New
York he started at once for Minneso-
ia, stopping but five hours in the
metropolis.
Most of my time was spent in Zu-
rich, Switzerland" said the doctor,
last evening, land to my notion it is
the finest city in the world, of course,
excepting st. Paul.
ConsuIs Are Handicapped.
zone thing that struck me forcibly
was the fact that the gentlemen who
represent the United States in official
positions abroad, especially in the con-
Sular service, are obliged to do busi-
ness by signs. Few if any of them
speak the language of the country to
which they are assigned, and what is
even worse they canot even speak
ing to the official. but it has the eff
feet of placing him in a bad light in
the circle IN which he is obliged to
move.
"The result is that the representa-
tiVes of this country abroad, with
few exceptions, are not assured and
do not have the standing which they
should have. Just how this can be
remedied is not for me to say, but in
the interests Of the United States
something should be done looking to
improving the service. ssf
Costs Much to Live Well. .
f"The cost, of living in Germany and
France to the 1abOring classes is one
third less than in this country, but the
wage scale is also less in proportion.
To live well in Switzerland costs
about the same as here. That is if
one gets the best of things. Beef, and
such beef one seldom gets here, is
20 cents per pound In fact, dthe best
living is about the same there as here.
1.-TWO weeks IN Paris was enough for
me. Automobiles by, the hundreds on
the boulevards, but they are a toy for
the wealthy and their use is respon-
sible for many accidents. j. did not
patronize them"

time in Berlin, returned with the doc

Had Courage of His Convictions.

Like many of the Old Testament
heroes, he had the courage to stand up
for his convictions, regardless Of re-
suits. When imprisoned he sang songs
of praise to his God. When the mob
howled he heard the voices of angels
When ridiculed by the philosophers he
heard the words Of Christ speaking
peace. The sorer the affection the
nearer he was drawn to Christ
From the experiences of the past
he knew his future would not be bright,
yet the opposition of men did not dis
courage him. Paul never lost hope
and in his greatest trials spoke words
of comfort and cheer to those who
were suffering with him. The greatest
good in life for him did not consist in
honor of men or wealth, but in the
consciousness of living for mankind
bringing them to higher plane of
knowledge and virtue"

PAUL AS AS. AN n !. EXAMPLE
MANCHESTER DIVINE SAYS
FRIENDS WELL LOST FOR GOD
Saul of Tarsus Was Consistent in His
Stand for the World as He Was for
Christ When He Took Up His Cause
in Earnest-Honor and Not Greatest
Good.

IF Paul, the disciple, had been Hv-
ing today, declared Rev. H. D. Funk,
OF the Manchester college, at the First
presbyterian church yesterday morn
ing, where he filled the pulpit in the
absence Of Rev. John Sinclair, who is
absent on vacation, "Ile would have
been very impatient with men who
complain that their stand for right,
virtue and God caused them to lose
their friends, wealth and Influence"
mo man suffered more than Paul
because he acknowledged God,n the
preacher continued. The subject Of the
sermon was 1.-THE Cheerful Acceptance
of a Hard Lot" s-sSs
Paul Was Consistent.
Paul was very consistent man."
Rev. Mr.. Funk said. "As long as he
was an enemy Of the gospel of Christ
he opposed it with all his resources
There was never any doubt about his
position, but when he became a con-
vert he took q, firm stand for the cause
of Christianity. and henceforth devoted
himself to the extension Of Christ's
kingdom. His experiences were not
always pleasant He was stoned,
scourged, Knocked, ridiculed and i'm
prisoned, yet he persevered. He had
made three missionary tours, and was
on his last Journey to Jerusalem when
he took farewell of his friends at Mile
