HANS AND GRETEL...A FAIRY STORY.

After a time the old nurse told them OF
the plan of the wicked uncle. But" con
tinued she, "whoever stands in that fairy

We will start for it early tomorrow morn

The next morning was clear and htight.
It happened very fortunate ly that, on that
day, their uncle was to make another
journey to the beautiful city where Ec had
bought the honbons As soon as he was
ont of sight the children and Bettina
started on their Journey. All day long
they travelled. and when night came on
they found themselves beside very wide
river, which they must cross in order to
reach the fairy ring. Here was a dilemma.
and they were almost in despair when
they saw n squirrel lie WAS chattering

TALK ON ADJUSTMENTS
FOR CHURCH MEMBERS

Bay City, Mich, May 2S.-A sermon
by Rev. c. II. Pachell, of the First Con-
gregational church, entitled The Com
mon People at FGsE." has aroused
much discussion. "If you should ask
me-" said he, II should say, it is just
as right to play cards as it is authors
and finch. 1t is just as right to roll
an ivory ball over green cloth with
cue as 1t is to roll wooden ball over
green grass with mallet. 1t is just
as right to dance as it is to play hop
skOtch; and it is just as right to go
to theater as it is to have good story
told or read to you at home.
Laughter and amusement have just
as large a place in life as weeping and
mourning. To laugh with those who
laugh, is just as much part of mans
religion as to weep with the weeping.
There is kind of sneaking belief in
many Christian hearts that the man
who really enjoys this life has some
thing wicked in him. That is part OF
on Puritan inheritance. They gave us III
great many good things, but this Is one
of the bad ones they imposed on u.s."

Heard Before the MethOdists-Secre-

Elected.

Los Angeles, Cal. May 2S-E. NJ.
ed secretary of the EpwOrth League,
and ]. T. Mcfarland, of Topeka. Kan.
secretary of the Sunday School union
at the session of the Methodist con-
ference Both elections We're hotly
contested and it required half a dozen
ballots in each case to arrive at a
choice. The feature of the session was
the appearance of n delegation from
the convention of the Brotherhood of
LOcOmOtivs Engineers, now in session
in this city. bringing greetings of that
organization.
Delos E. Everett and G. r. Doherty
grand chaplain of the Brotherhood,
made brief speeches Everett enter
tanned the conference for fifteen min
utes with apt and humorous stories.
He said that the Brotherhood of Lo-
cOmOtive Engineers was almost the
pioneer in thetemperance movement in
this country; that for almost forty
years that organization had advocated
total abstinence, and that if it were
left to the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, with it's $4,000 members,
saloons would be entirely wiped out.
An incident that furnished fifteen
minutes amusement to the conference
was the auctiOning off of beautiful
hand-carved table which had been
used by the presiding officers at this
conference. The table was made by
the boys of the Methodist Industrial
school at Venice, Italy, and is a Won
derfuI piece of work in the art of wood
moIding. The bidding was up to ST.
coo. at which price it was knocked
down to Boaz Duncan, citizen of Los
Angeles.

ENGLAND DRIVEN
TO CONSCRIPTION
Recommended as Only Way to Pro-
vide for Adequate Home
Defense.

London, May 2S.-The report OF the
royal commission on the volunteer and
militia forces practically recommends
conscription as the only means of pro-
Yiding Il home defense army adequate
for the protection of-the country in the
absence OF partial absence of the regu-
lar troops. The commissioners are of
the opinion that the principles adopted
by all the other great European states
must be largely adopted by Great Brit
ain. and that it is the duty of every
able bodied citizen to be trained for ma
tional defense.
They point out that the necessary
training would involve period of con-
tinuOus service with the colors, under
an instruction body of specially edu-
Gated and highly trained officers, and
they consider that one year of such
continuous training would suffice, with
a few weeks attendance at the
manoeuvers for Il year or two after
ward. The commissioners estimate
that such a scheme would provide
about $4,000 trained men annually at
u cost probably less than that of the
present militia system.

ILLINOIS GAME LAW TO
HAVE SUPREME COURT TEST

Springfield, Ill, May 2S.T,The con-
stitutionality of the Illinois game law
which provides for the appointment
of an army of game wardens is to be
tested in the supreme court. The
first of the threatened suits has reach
ed the court on a writ of. error from
Green county, where Henry j. Cum
mings was fined $25 and costs for
hunting without a license. 1t is claim
ed the law is unconstitutional for the
reason that it discriminates between
resident and nonresident hunters. An
other plea is that it eXempts from it's
penalties owners of farm lands and
their. tenants and. therefore, violates
that portion of the constitution pro-
hibiting class legislation.

frothsd at the lips and waved his
arms wildly in the air.
He was Overpowered and thrown to

police officers to hold him. ParoxysR

to be manacled and taken into an ante
room. When quiet was finally restored
Mahnken's lawyer decided to let the
case go to the jury without argument.
Almost Immediately the twelve men
filed back and the foreman announced:
Guilty" If the insanity was feigned
IT failed to move the jury. The techni-
cal charge against Mahnken was per-
jury, and it was proved that he had
taken the body of Mrs. Greenwald

aunt His motive was to gain posses

International Law Keeping Them
Out of Eastern War About

Washington, May 2S.-The attention
of the military and naval experts has
been attra cted to the fact that On July
20 the prohibition imposed by The
Hauge conference upon the discharge
OF aerial torpedoes from balloons or fly
ing machines will expire by limitation.
II was with the greatest difficulty that
the powers represented at The Hague
conference managed to reach an agree
ment upon rules governing war and
this particularly section was bitterly
fought over
To make easier the reaching of an
agreement as to the use of aerial war
ships it was determined that the rule
should be tried fer "a period of five
years, and that period of time expires
i'll July. Consequently new field is
now open to the inventor of flying ma
chimes and dil1Sible balloons which
may now enter the field of warfare
