During the civil war Miss ~, .
high spirited Virginia young lady
whose father, a Confederate soldier,
had been taken prisoner by the Union
forces, was deslrous Of obtaining q
pass which would enable her to visit
him. Francis +. Blair agreed to obtain
an audience with the president, but
warned his young and rather impulsive
friend to be prudent and not betray
her sympathy for the south. They
were ushercd into the presence OF Mr..
Lincoln. and the object for which they
had come was stated. The tall, grave
man bent down to the little maiden
and, looking searchingly into her face
said:
"You are loyal, OF course?"
Her bright eyes flashed She hesl-
tated n moment, and then. with face
eloquent with emotion and honest as
his own, she replied:
"Ies, loyal to the hearts core-to vlr.

Mr.. Lincoln kept his intent gaze up
on her for a moment longer and then
went to his desk wrote line or two
and handed her the paper. With u
bow the interview terminated. When
they had left the room, Mr.. Blair began
to upbraid his young friend for her Inn
petuosity.

Miss N. made no reply, but opened

About the Kind of PeO-

Our attention is called to an ele
CANT piece of composition about some

revival preacher, who is well known al
Salem and other towns in the william

nomination known as "the Church OF

which he misrepresents. The follow
ing is copied from On article over his
signature in the Church advocate, Har

A person living In the East would
not believe there was so much differ.
enee between people Of the same race,
though differently located. Here there
are more divorces, more wife-beatina,

than I ever knew. There are men that

day morning at the home Of his daugli'
ter. Mrs. Maggie Rccsor, at Bandana

ployed as Waterman ON the Fowler

ferings.

A MOB ATTACKED
RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR

minister of the interior aud second sccrc-
tary Of the embassy, arrived, he had
bard work getting in.
Count Bcnckendorif had tclephoncd
him to come to the embassy TO write 4
long cipher message to st. Petersburg
describing tonight's hostile dcmonstra-
lion.
In reply TO request for some state
ncnt to the Associated Press the am
bassador sent word that he could say
nothing but il was gathered that he had
sent dispatch to st. Petersburg, which
may add TO the existing delicacy Of the
situation.
Prince Sviatopolk Mirsky saidi
"The attack on the trawlers was obyi
ously either an act of war or great
mistake. No sensible man can now
think il was an act of war, and therefore
il was mistake; and when you have
made a mistake, all you can do is TO
apologize and pay for it. Neither coun-
try concerned wants to 90 TO war with
the other. II is annoying TO our diplo-
matte relations with Great Britain, but
it is quite different from the sinking
of the Maine.
Incidental mistakes. however much
they may be dcplored, do not create wars
between great powers unless those pow
crs have some interior reasons for going
to war. Neither the trawler nor to-
nights affair is likely to produce a clash
between two powers who have every oc-
casion, from a selfish point Of view, to
preserve peace between themselves"

SITUATION UNCHANGED.

St Petersburg. Oct. 20. There was
no fresh news from the front today.
General SAkharoff, telegraphing at
2:l5 this morning, reported that there
was no change in the situation. The
war office does not confirm the report
that the Russians have occupied Bent
sisputze. TIE official returns of the
Russian losses received up to date do
not exceed 80, 900. General Sakharoff
telegraphs that there was no lighting
during the night of October 1924.
The Russians buried 800 Japanese at
Lone Tree Hill.

SENSATIONAL RUMoRs ARE OUT

The reports in other papers of en- al

fiom the following tragedy taken from
the Mayfeld papers Of yesterday, all the
papers agreeing that il was an accident:
Saturday while in company with
two other young men of his neighbor-
hood, near Bcelerton. Hickman county,
Robert Beadies, aged about twenty
years, accidently shot himself in the
neck, and died within three minutes after
the shooting occurred. From what we
can learn, young Beadlcs and the other
two young men,-were oiling and cleaning
their revolvers. After getting them
pretty well cleaned, il seems that in
some accidental manner the revolver of
Iieadles was fired the ball striking him
ia the neck. One of the young men.
named Boaz. jumped into his buggy and
hurried for doctor, all the time think
ing that he had accidentally fired his
gun and killed the young man. When
he returned with The doctor he found
Beadles dead, and that his own gun had
not been discharged, while the gun OF
the dead young man had ors empty

"Beadles was the grandson of DR.. Bea-
lies, an old and highly respected physic-
ian of the southern edge of the county
near Beelerton, Hickman county. He
was one of the most prominent young
men of HIS neighborhood, numbering his
friends by his acquaintance. His death
in such an untimely and depIora6le man
