Benson wrenched loose a piece of lead

clothing. About o'clock Sunday

The door of the corridor was open
and Benson ran out into the main en-
trance with the jailer in pursuit. Ben
son failed to get the outer door open

of this kind, and their virtues were

HOW TO CONTROL. CHILDREN.
Steady, Gentle Firmness Is the First
Reuujsite

Bursts of passion in a little child
must be met by steady, gentle firm
ness on the mothers side. Loud out
cries should be hushed not by angry
words, but by grave quietness of
voice and speech, which helps to re-
press them by mere force Of contrast.
Passionate gestures, such as blows,
kicks and drumming with the heels
upon the floor, should be prevented by
physical force If necessary. Above all,
the thing coveted, If It causes the
child to fly into a rage as TIE readiest
means Of obtaining it, should never
be granted, As the child grows older
and can be reasoned with, he or she
should be taught to avoid the begin
nil'S Of wrath, to struggle against
irrItability, and not to give way to It

ORGANIZATION.

Another protest against the seating
OF Senator-elect Smoot has been filed.
1t was signed by the secretary
Of the Inter UNCONVENTIONAL Council OF
Women for Christian and Patriotic
Services. Although not sworn to, the
protest states. however, that the mat.
ters contained therein can be estab-
lished by competent reference. The
protest alleges, among other things,
that Smoot is a member and officer OF
secret. oath bound organization,
which has for one of its purposes the
suoversion of the government of the
United States and its conversion into
a theocracy and violation Of its laws
even to the commission of immoral
or criminal acts; that as member of
this. he is subservient to the will Of Its
leaders in matters both religious and
temporal. The protest further alleges
that Smoot was elected to the senate
because of his membership and Office
in said organization.

EUROPEAN WAR CLOUDS.
Trouble Between Russia and Turkey
Expected in the Spring.

A st. Petersburg dispatch declares
that some publicists are of the opinion
that only the sternest language toward
Turkey can prevent war between
Russia and Turkey in the spring. They
believe that Turkey will pursue bands
of Macedonian revolutionists across
the Bulgarian frontier and that public
opinion will compel Russia to interfere
The Russians thoroughly understand
that war with Turkey will be more
severe one than that of 1878. Officers
are quoted as saying that the Turkish
army is the best in the world, owing
to it's German organization and arma-
ment There Is an inclination In St
Petersburg to anticipate German
financial support OF Turkey, and In
view OF the situation forobodings OF n
clash with Turkey are freely expressed
in private, although they are carefully
suppressed in the newspapers.

The annual spring freshet, which
yearly does damage to railroads and
crops, and, at times, inficts loss OF
life, has left this seasons impression
on many parts of the south after two
days rains, with an accompaniment of
high winds. Six persons were drowned
while trying to cross the Ohio near

and five persons were hurt in a tornado
which passed over Hickory Level, Ga
The damage to railroad property Is
large and the inconvenience to the
public considerable. Cloudbursts are
reported in Kentucky and Tennessee
and it Is feared there has been some
loss of life in the affected regions.

the lower section of the place was

British Threaten to Retaliate.

Although only one protest has SO
far been filed with the state depart
ment by European powers against the
ratification Of the Cuban treaty, 1t is
learned that polite but pointed inquir-
les have supplemented the note filed
by the British ambassador from other
parties in interest, notably France and
other European beet sugar producing
countries. In advance of the consum-
nation of the treaty, of course no open
threat could be made, but events are
shaping themselves so as to arouse
the expectation by the officials here
that Europe will retaliate against
what 1t regards as the unjust discrimi-
nation against European goods that
would be involved in the application
of the Cuban treaty.
