her to say a few short sentences
About eight weeks before the Fourth
of July tried to teach Polly to say
"Hurrah for George Washington" But
she would not repeat it after; me. Then
/ thought it might be too long to say
it all at once-that she probably could
not remember it all, so tried to- teach
her to say 1t word for word. But no;
she wouldn't say q word of IT
Yet she listened attentively when I
repeated it. Then got Disguised and
gave it up till a week or so before the
Fourth; then I tried to make. her say
it, but she would not listen to me now
So when the morning Of the Fourth
came I went out to Polly. She said
Hello" answered: Hello, Poll;
can't you say 'Hurrah for George
Washington for me?" Then she be-
came furious and few to the other
side of her cage and would not luok a.:

TRIPLE TRAGEDY
FROM JEALOUSY
Indiana Man Kills Wife and
Friend.
Shot Them Through Window
Where She Had Found En-
ployment.
THEN BLEW OUT HIS BRAINS.

Rochester, Ind, Dec. Three
dead and one seriously wounded is
the result of the jealousy of Gilbert
Burns, aged so, who last night shot
and instantly killed his wife
and Joe GRIPPE, at whose home
his wife was employed. After kill
ing them Burns walked two miles to
the home of his sister. where he blew
of the top of his own head. Mrs.
Braman. who also lived at the home
of GRIPPE, was struck by scattering
shot from charges that killed the
other members Of the household and
is in a SERIOUS condition. She will
probably recover.
Late last evening, Burns took his
shotgun and started for the GRIPPE
home, arriving there while the fami-
ly was at supper. He fired through
the window. tearing part Of his
wife's head of. The baby beside her
escaped injury. Before the family
could move. a second shot came
through the window taking effect in
Gripe's head. killing him instantly.
The murderer walked away, and on
arriving at his sisters home. two
miles away, placed the muzzle of his
gun in his mouth and shot his head
of. when the sheriff arrived at the
scene of the murder tine body of the
dead woman was found sitting in a
chair. The body of GRIPPE was found
lying under the supper table.
Burns was a teacher and was sep
arated from his wife, who had taken
employment at the GRIPPE home. IL
is alleged that Burns drank to ex-
cess at times and his wife had taken
her four children and left him sew
eral times to avoid mistreatment.

DEAR OLD LUNNoN
PRESS IN ENGLAND PLEASED
At MESSAGE.
President Roosevelt's Message Is
Statesmanlike and Courageous.

London. Dec. THE press of
London regards President Roose-
velt's message as a statesmanlike,
highly courageous and notable doc
ument, which the Post ventures to
think will do more than any public
utterance of recent years to increase
the sympathy between Britons and
Americans following this expression
with the passage from the message
where the president speaks of his
foreign policy as lone for which the
English-speaking world will now
and hereafter be thankful"
The majority of newspapers edi-
torially approve the presidents adj
vocacy of a strong army and navy
in order to preserve "the peace of
justice" and acquit Roosevelt of any
lingo aims. Some, on the other
hand, consider the message injurious
to ideals of disarmament and arbi-
tration. The Graphic. for instance,
thinks the message will strengthen
the advocates of bloated ornaments
in every country"
