Chinese Custom of Vicaious Atone

A special dispatch to the New York

mysterious murder Of Crows Bar-the IA

nese custom of vicar.ous atonement for
crime. which has not yet found a foothold
in America. A crime was committed and
the criminals hired a man to suffer the
punishment that should be theirs. The

the same cabin at Crows Bar on the Fra

ambition was stated, and he was prepared to
forsake the Fraser for his home in Cathay
1t was virtually on the eve of his departure
for the coast, homeward bound. that he
disappeared as also did his hoard of gold.
The first intimation of anything amiss
came through All Gun and Gum Tai, who
appeared one morning at the home of

TWO DROWNED IN SURF.
DR.. Melvin Tried to Save Companion

Shannon of Williamsport Pa, DR.. Joseph
Melvin Of Carbondale, Pa, lost his life
this afternoon between and o'clock
The herotsm and double drowning were
witnessed by several thousand persons,
who watched the life and death struggle
in the breakers from the beach and the
boardwalk.
The tragic occurrence took place at the
sea end of New Jersey avenue. The girl
was in the water and was breasting the
breakers a considerable distance from
shore. when a powerful breaker lifted her
off her feet and carried her into deep water
The current swept her around the end Of
the jetty at a point where the water is
fifteen or twenty feet in depth. Not know
ing how to SWIM she began to struggle
for her life and shrteked for help
DIR. Melvin had accompanied her into the
surf. Without thought of personal danger
and knowing that he would be helpless in
deep water, as he was but a poor swimmer

caught her bathing skirt He chung to 1t
for minute or more, when another break
er separated him from his hold.
Three lifeguards at the first alarm Of
danger rushed into the water. One brought
in the unconscious form OF the doctor, but
the girls body was not recovered.
The double tragedy attracted several
thousand excited persons to the scene. In
the crowd was Mrs. John Klune of Car

the great deer forests of Scotland where
they are now almost universally protected
would probably cause some of the young to
make the attempt to extend their nesting

ed that this increase is due to a twofold
cause. The first is the extension or the

qualified admission that the deed had been
done as stated. Police Superintendent
Hudsey also ordered All Gun and Gum Tai
into custody, despite their indignant pro-
tests. OF course. they did not explain that
they had hired Sack Chum to be arrested
for them.
The fact that Sack Chum was ema-
cated old man of perhaps less than ninety
pounds. Ill and weak. and All Chez weighed
inward of 200 pounds suggested that it was
a physical impOssibility for him alone to
have disposed of the body as alleged. and
examination failed to show any signs of
body being dragged. although one might
have been carried by strong men to the
river side. All Gun and Gum Tai adhered
to the story that they were awakened to
see Sack Chum kill All Chez with a ham
mer and drag the body away, to which
Sack Chum nodded acquiescence.

Coin With q Hole in It.
From the Toronto Star.


The mutilation of coins will never be
stopped until it becomes generally known
from one end of the country to the other
that to deface or punch hole in coin de-
stroys its value money and puts ii at
once out of circulation When all punched
and defaced coins are rendered useless as
money, the loss in Canada Will be heavy,
but 1t will be divided among a large num-
Der of people. At present these coins are
not valueless: they pass current at face
value in a limited business circle. In many
rural parts they are valueless. In Toronto
the small stores viii not accept them. They
cannot be deposited IN a bank. But the big
stores are not SO particular. They accept
these coins and their customers accept them
in change, knowing that the store will take

Birds Of Prey in England.
From the London Spectator.

Both from Yorkshire and Lancashire
eagles have been reported as seen on the

birds comes from the Clitheroe Fells, in
Lancashire. where a pair of eagles were
seen feeding upon a lamb. These were
probably young birds of last year, which
may have been returning to their original

the old birds would permit. But for several

Kodol does for the stomach that which
it is unable to do for itself, even when
but slightly disordered or overloaded.
Kodol supplies the natural juices of di-
gestion and does the work of the stom-
ach, relaxing the nervous tension, while
the inflamed muscles of that organ are
allowed to rest and heal. KodOl digests
what you eat and enables the stomach
and digestive organs to transform all
food into rich, red blood. Cohen Bros,
