HIS HEROIC
INSTINCT

Callahan, the roundhouse foreman at
st. James, passing through the yards
on his way to work one morning,
stopped suddenly and pressed his hand
to his head. That was the beginning.
He went on presently, but his air was
that of man whose confidence has
been shaken.
He attended to his duties that day,
but cracked no jokes. In the evening
he entered a physicians Office.
Doctor" said he, dropping Imply
into a chair, I'm feelin worse"
Thus he introduced the subject.
The physician glanced at him and in

"You're all broken out with it. The
thing for you to do is TO go home. Go
right down the middle of the street
the middle of the street, understand
I'll attend to you later"
"But, doctor
Don't stop to talk. Go home. I'll
see you before bedtime"
Callahans head was whirling, else
he would have had his say. AS it was
he arose unsteadily and followed in
structions. The outer air revived him
somewhat although the lights of the
street danced like pyrotechnics before
his eyes, and the voices of the people
sounded in his ears like the buzzing of
bees. Once at dark corner he paused,
steadying himself by the shoulder
against an iron pillar.
"'Tis not funny at ALL" he assured
the pillar solemnly. 1.-THE disease is
nothin, but the name of it is terrible.

Wednesday nights tragedy. Primary
among them was the kings marriage.
Queen Draga's attempt to manipulate
the political situation; the arrogant
behavior of the queens relatives; the
hostile feeling that the Russian court
manifested in its refusal to receive the
Servian queen, and the financial sit
uation which prevented the regular
payment of the officers salaries, all
combined to bring about the terrible
end of the Obrenovitch rule. But all
this fails to explain sufficiently
Wednesday nights events, and 1t is
thought that the real reason yet re-
mains to be told.
A Statement.
The new ministry publishes the fol-
lowing statement: Certain differ
ences which arose at court have led to
the intervention of the army and con-
fiict in which the king and queen lost
their lives. With view to aintain-
ing peace and order in the country-at
the present moment difficult and fate
futile representatives of all the po-
litical parties have FASTENED to come
to an understanding and form a pro-
visional government in order to re-
establish the constitution, existing be-
fore March 30, 1908, and to reassem-
BILE the representatives elected under
The constitution of April 6, 1901. AT a
sitting to be held on June IS, the ma
tional representatives will elect a
sovereign and assume control of the
situation. According to the reports
received up to the present from the
civil and military authorities, order
has not been disturbed in any part of
the country and the government will
take steps to maintain it. The govern
ment feel convinced that by acting thus
it will ensure for the new order of

to the number of 90 having formed a
project of revolt, among them being
delegates from almost every garri-
son in Servia and the majority of
the officers of the Sixth regiment,
Lieut.. Col. Mitschitsch invited his
comrades on Wednesday evening at
IL o'clock to meet in the Kalimagden
garden and there the immediate car
rying out of the intended deed was
organized. At 1:40 the officers, in
eight groups, went to the konak, the
royal palace. Each had cue and
especial directions regarding hia
part in the revolution.
Treachery In the Palace.
In the konak palace itself the rev.
olutionaries had two important par
tisans inJthe kings bodyguard-Col
Alexander Maschin Queen Draga's
cousin, not brother-in-law) and the
kings personal adjutant, Lieut.. Nau-

The very lowest estimate that can
be made of the loss done to crops is
$5,000,0 900. Owing to the lateness of
the season and the condition of the
soil, it is very doubtful if any profit
will be drawn during the remainder
of the year from the. farms which
were inundated. AS consequence
there will be great deal of individ-
ual want and suffering among farm

Dallas, Tex, June 13.-A dispatch
to the News from FL Paso, Tex, says:
Twelve bodies of food victims have
been recovered at Clifton, Ariz., but
the death list generally is placed at
81. Many of the bodies will never be
recovered, although hundreds of men,
including many of the striking miners,
are engaged in the search. The rush
of waters bore most of the bodies
from Chase creek into the San Fran.

that the bodies will be carried far down
the stream or will be covered by wreck
age. Narrowing tales of death are
brought in by people living along
Chase creek, one man reporting that
he counted ~ people struggling In the
water. and believes that all of them
were lost. One Mexican woman lost
five children, who were swept away
with the wreckage of her hut. none of
the bodies having been recovered.
Every available able-bodied man has
been pressed into service clearing away
the wreckage in the hope that the bod
les of missing may be recovered.
Clifton had her hero on horseback, SIM
liar to the man who rode down the
valley of Johnstown, Pa, on horse
back and warned the people OF the
impending danger. The Clifton hero
rode at breakneck speed five minutes
ahead of the torrent, and shouted to
the settlers to fee to higher ground.
His warning saved hundreds of lives.

Prince Peter Karageorgevitch, the

Numerous causes are suggested as

Death of tho King md Queen.
After a long search a small door
leading into an alcove was discovered,
but it was found locked. twas broken
in with an axe and here the royal cou-
pie were found in undress. The older
officers first intended forcing the king
to abdicate but the young officerswere
in no mood to be held back and shot at
the roy al couple. Nobody knows in the
excitement who shot first, but 1t Is
generally said it was Lieut.. Kistics.
Received Thirty Shots.
The autopsy held has proved that
the late king received 80 shot wounds,
many Of them deadly. Queen Draga
had numerous shot and saber wounds,
and it alleged that her body was torn
in a barbaric fashion. The appearance
of the royal apartments is indescriba-
BILE. The doors and floors are shat
tered and the ruins drenched with
blood.
Others Slain.
Almost simultaneously with the
butchery in the palace the troops en-
deavored TO arrest all the relatives OF
the queen and those ministers whom
| the conspirators disliked. Two broth
ers of the queen, Lieut.. Coils. Nikola
and Nikodern Lunjevics, were seized
and escorted by a detachment Of troops
from their dwelling to the guard room
of the divisional commander. They
evidently were not suspicious of their
doom and were lighting cigarettes
when they were shot dead by eight sol
diers.
Gen. Zinzar Markovics, the premier
Gen. Pavlovics, minister Of war, and M
Todorovics, minister of the interior
were shot by the troops as they at
tempted to defend themselves from ar
rest. The former two were killed
while Minister Todorovics Is barely
alive.

East st. Louis, Ill, June 12.-That
the crisis Of the food situation in East
st. Louis has passed so far as this city
is concerned Is generally accepted as
fact by the citizens. Since the disas-
trous break in the Illinois Central levee
the food has made no dangerous

was further increased by seepage
Thursday. No one could be found with

To 1t. There was general disposition,
however, to accept minimum reports
of loss of life, rather than the stories
originating in the excitement of the

One prominent undertaken averred
that there had been no loss of life d.

been deaths later due indirectly to the
overflow. There were no reports of

the year following the incident of our
text, tidings came to the Galilean home
of our little lad from Jerusalem Of
the tragic events there; OF the arrest,
trial and crucifixion of Jesus. And
years later, when the deadly persecu-
ton settled about the disciples at Je-

Samaria and Galilee. he learned the
full meaning of Jesus death, and His
glorious resurrection. A lively hope
was kindled within his breast as

dead, but living. and working nightly
through His disciples. A new pur
pose stirred within his heart. He be-
gan to understand the spiritual mean

the declaration of Jesus that He wa.
