Il don't know. This night is revela-
ton to me. All this year / have been
obeying the commands of the general,
my brother, to keep the girl under
some restraint and a careful watch.
My orderly is in love with her maid.
and through him l learn everything.
She has made no attempt TO escape
nor TO send or receive letters. The gen

that he sent her to me till she consent

SONS out as a veritable coquette or else
she is desperately in love with Dellni-
koff. How do you read herY
ITO me she seems like a bird let
loose from disagreeable cage" re-
piled the governor. Certain il is that
she is the most fascinating young wo-
man this ballroom has ever seen. Dell
nikon is to be envied."
But the change is so sudden! How
do YOU account for it?'
Perhaps there is really no change.
Young women of the advanced type in
Russia are not what our mothers were.
Then women were even, deliberate,
and always the same. But now! Paris
has come TO st. Petersburg. l think
your niece has a touch of the Partisan
spirit tonight. 1t is possible that the
girl never had any real opposition to
Dellnikoh. He is rich, handsome and
no worse morally than any Of our
young princes, Almost any young girl
would jump at the chance TO marry
him. ] think the girl has been mis-
understood"
Perhaps" said Jurnieff. at would
be a big feather in my hat if they
should become betrothed while Dell
nikoff is here"
"The general is a mighty power in
St Petersburg. Should you succeed
where he failed, he would no doubt re-
ward you by promotion"
"A garrisoned capital would be the
least he could give me, with the chew
rons Of a general"
''True. Now let us conspire in a low
ing attempt to make these two young
people happy You were young once,
Jurnieh; the same with me. With the
young, deliberation chills enthusiasm.
Strike while the iron is hot! Bring
them out tonightw
Tonight? What does your excel
lency meanY
Can you not see that the girl is
warming toward the prince? As for
Dellnikoff, he is intoxicated with her
beauty. Why not make their betrothal
the toast of the supperT
"If that could be done, my promotion
would be assured. Such an event would
cap the matter"
"Then do it! Strike while the iron is

CROWN of an IrIsh King.

One of the most highly priced relics
in the British museum, that great
storehouse of wonders and curiosities,
both natural and artificial, is the crown
formerly used by the Irish kings in the
coronation exercises which made them
monarchs of the Emerald Isle. Strict
ly speaking, there We're two of these
Irish crowns, the one in question being
that used by the MacMurrougs, a fam
lily who were anciently kings of Lem
ster This regal relic, all that remains
of the old Irish monarchy, is a plain
gold band, rising to a kind of peak or
point in front. 1t dates back to the
middle Of the tenth century.

The American Farmer the Best In the World.

The American farmer is the greatest man
in the world to-day because he is master Of
the soil-he is gaining in intelligence quite
as rapidly as his products are increasing in
magnitude. Our recent combines of capital
in United States measured in moHey are
enormous, yet such figures sink into insig-
nihcance when compared to the money,
brain and Drawn invested in agricultural
industries. For instance, the farmers of
Minnesota and Dakota have received $780,
ooo, 900 for their products in a single year.
The farmer knows what Nature will bring
forth for him from his experience in the
past He knows if certain seeds are
planted aud properly cared for that Nature
will take care of the rest. In the same
way you are master OF your O5OH destiny.
Providing your blood is in good order, il
only needs a little effort on your own part
to keep healthy and strong-rid your body
of the poisons that are apt to accumulate
and your system is ready to ward off the
attack of the germs of disease. DR.. Pierce's

FIRST WITNESSES HEARD
IN WEEKS MURDER TRIAL
They Substantiate the States Con-
tention that Mrs. Ireland Could
Not Have Killed Herself.
DOCTORS ON THE STAND

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BROWNSTOWN, Ind, May 24-The jury
in the trial OF Mrs. Cora Weeks, of Bed
ford charged with the murder of her
mother, Mrs. Susanna Ireland, last Sep
TENDER. was sworn III to-day, the opening
statements of the state and defense were
made 10 the jury and three witnesses were
examined. Mrs. Weeks and her husband
were both indicted for the murder, but
they elected TO have separate trials Mr.
Weeks is now out on bond. Mrs Weeks
was tried last December at Bedford, but
the jury disagreed. and the case was
brought here on change OF venue.
" the opening statement for the state,
Prosecutor John NJ. Lewis. of Seymour,
said the prosecution would show that Mrs.
Weeks murdered her mother. Mrs. Ire
land was found in room at the Weeks
home, lying on the floor with a bullet in
her head. the wound having been inflicted
in such a manner that she could not have
committed suicide. The state would prove,
he said. that a physician was not called UNI
iii at least thirty minutes after the fatal
shot was fired, and that the prisoner and
her mother were not on good terms. Wit
nesses also will be brought in who will
testify that the evening after the murder
Mr.. and Mrs. Weeks took a drive in the
country and built a bonfire on the road
side the suppoSitiOn being that they burned
up the bloody clothing and other evidences
of the tragedy.
The statement by the defense was that
it would prove that Mrs. Ireland and her
daughter were good terms; that the
time between the shooting and the arrival
of doctor was not more than five or six
minutes, and that circYmstantial evidence
would be introduced to prove that Mrs.
Ireland committed suicide.
The first witness called was DR.. Stipp.
of Bedford, who the attending physi-
clan. He told of the position of the body,
when he arrived, and of his examination,
and expressed the opinion that the position
of the wound such as to make the
theory of suicide untenable. DR.. Graessle,
of Seymour, testified that if the bullet had
gone in at the angle described by DR.. Stipp,
it must have been fired by some one other
than Mrs. Ireland. DR.. Graessle had made
no examination of the body, his testimony
being wanted as an expert. The third wit
ness was still on the stand at late hour,
but the testimony was nearly supplemental
TO that preceding 1t.

The evidence produced by the defense

cheerful and meets his friends with a
