h!bt of Iowa at st. Louis. has notified the
office of the state dairy commissioner at

worlds fair.
A New York man won tho first place..
Minnesota was expected to win IL Iowa

highest general average, which means
that she will get the banner offered by the
National Creamery association.
III. ID. Went of Magnolia was the Iowa
man whose butter scored the second best,
among all the exhibitors at the fair dur
ing the October competition. His per cent
was 96A. The New York man who took

port from the last scoring contest. 1t is

Victim of Barbarous Tradition.

Des Moines, Ia, Oct 31.-In the
Methodist hospital here a patient ex-
lhibits barbarism within the very midst
,of civilization. He was brought there
III by his father. His name is Role
Yakima, a native of Arabia. In each
ankle is hole the size of dime and
a half inch deep. He says he cut these
there to let the devil out of his body
six years ago. He pares tilbert nut
to the white and inserts in each ankle
hole every morning TO keep them from
healing. Then he binds his ankles
with cabbage leaves. All efforts of
physicians and nurses to get him to
submit TO modern treatment have
proved futile. He believes IL the
wounds heal he will die. 1t is ira

CHAPTER III.

On seeing the figure Of a man
stretched stark upon the floor, his
breast stained with blood, the police-
man, unheeding all else, knelt beside
him to ascertain If life were quite ex-
tinct Having satisfied himself upon
this point, he looked up and asked:
who is he?"
Her husband!" the maid replied in
high, wild voice.
Accustomed as he was to tragedy,
and acquainted with crime, the man
looked aghast, for here was a deed
more piteous and more dark than he
had yet encountered. Before he could
heard Of footsteps and murmurs Of
voices of those whom the servants
cries of murder and the policeman's
entry had attracted, and presently Doc
tor Quave and his son, and some
strangers pushed their way into the
room, followed by the cook, sleepy and
scared.
The medical man bent above the
dead. took one rigid hand in his own,
placed his ear above the region where
the heart had just been stilled, and said
in all awesome tone:
ITS all over with him. He is quite
dead"
From this CHASTITY figure. he turned
to Mrs. Dumbarton, who by this time
had been lifted to a couch. where she
lay motionless and apparently lifeless,
her daughter clinging to and kissing
her between heartbroken sobs.
Quinton Quave. a young man of 90,
who had just taken out his medical
diploma. and was as yet unused to
sights of grief and pain, put his hand
upon the girls shoulder and called her
by her name; but Veronica. IL she
heard, did not heed him, and he moved
away to a distant corner. his heart

To refrain from thinking was an ut

woman, though thought was absolute
pain. AS she lay there in the silence
and gloom, heartsick and despairing,
the story of her life rose in black out
lines against the lurid tragedy which
had crowned and intensified all her sor-

An Invention to Aid in prays,

New Haven Palladium: Thomas Saul.
enjoys the unique distinction of having Sc
cured a patent on an article TO be en-
ployed by worshippers.
The invention is described in the letters
patent as The Chaplet and Shrine of the
l4oly Rosary"
The chaplet and shrine of the holy
rosa-- consists OF a case, in which is a set
of rollers, on which is rolled a web which
may be rolled or unrolled. Upon the face
of the web is a series OF pictures appro-
PIRATE to the prayers of which the several
beads on the rosary are reminders.
The case is so arranged hat a light can
be set behind the picture. Arrangements
for burning a pair Of candles are provided
in front OF the shrine.
When the candles exc lighted the effect
is very beautiful. Those desiring to use

shrine. When the appropriate prayer is
uttered one of the rollers is turned by
means of a projecting knob and a picture
is revealed. This operation is continued
until the entire rosary has been gone
through. Mr.. Gay is making extensive

Dogs Found a Gold Mine,

The miners of the western states

than that told by two men prospecting
Tor miners in Nevada, says the Chica-
go Chronicle. Thinking that their dog
was chasing a mountain lion or some
other wild beast, H. Roth and A. E,
Mont1norency, two miners from Nye
county, Ney., seized their guns and fol-
lowed until they saw the dog come to
a stop on the top of a great boulder.
The animal was making no attempt to
discover the lost trail, but was stand
ing rigid on the rock, his nose pointing
in the air. AS soon as his masters ar
rived ne wagged his tail, barked once
or twice and disappeared in the under
brush. Surprised at the behavior of
the animal, the two men began an in
~Nest1Sation, and soon discovered that
the rock was an outcropping of a rich
ledse of ore, containing gold and silver.
Measurements Of the body were taken,
n it was learned that the mine was
~ feet wide and extended in a visible
line for over 2,2b0 feet. An assay of
the ore was made, and it was found ia
run from IS to $126 per ton.
