Everything upright and nothing to

In the City of Upside Cown.
How we loved the City of Upside

Where mother was queen of tumbly

AS pleasant as any you ever saw
Ruled by Sultan or Padishah-
For love stood guard, as the only
In the City of Upside Down.
Rich were the cars of Upside Down,
The chargers many and bold,
And every nook had it's doll or clown,
Every house was d palace of purest
gold; ..
And our ruler never would frown
or scold
When we drove like; wild through
those darling, old
Ruins of Upside Down.
But years have passed over Upside
Down,
And only it's glory CLEANS,
For she who was queen in a simple
gown
Has gone to the beautiful City of
Dreams
Yet oft like a vision at night it
seems
/ The tender smile OF my mother
beams
Ger her children in Upside Down.
But never again in Upside Down
Will Tottie and Teddy stray:
It's sad, sad place is that lonely
town
Since it's queen and it's magic van

And tears come unbidden to blind
us by day
AS we dream of the angel of light
at play

Murderous Band of Ten.

The Matin has published what 1t calls
which 1t Identifies her with a circle of
ten women--the wives of rich and promi-
nent men-who have all been suspected
and mostly convicted of husband muir
der for insurance.
This extraordinary circle existed in
Antwerp, and seems to have been almost
a formal organization When she lived in
Antwerp the present widow of the deputy
was Nine. de Bruyn, the wife of a proml-
nent business man. He died eight years
after their marriage and his widow OBJ
tanned $4,000 insurance and equal sum
from her husbands partner. Among
those named as members of this poison
ers' club was the widow of deputy who,
after disappearing from Antwerp, was
found murdered In Brussels, where he
had been decoyed by his two brothers,
one of whom died In prison without re-
vealing anything. The advocates widow
also went to prison. Another of the cir
Gle, 1t is alleged, poisoned her brother,
sister and uncle for their insurance. A
third was sentenced to twenty years in
Mons for hiring men to murder her hus-
band. Others escaped because the legal
proof failed.
Nine. 3yveton denies that she ever
knew the women of the fatal Circle of
Ten. Her own story of the death of
Syveton is as startling as the accusa-
tons of those who believe that a crime
ives committed. Her method of telling it
was peculiarly Partisan. When she learn
ed that there was summons out for
her she called in the reporters for the
Paris papers and to them she said:

not come Inquiries were made, and for
the first time his brother deputies learned

that he would occupy this room and must
be overcome by the fumes of the char

cry of assassination was taken up all over

Facts and figures are made to speak
with an eloquence which is both enter
tanning and instructive. The begin
nings of many of the industries are
noted, and their obscure birthplaces.
The excellence and soundness of the
beginnings brought the spots that gave
them birth out of their rural obscurity
and simplicity, and made them cities of
renown. Lynn became the shoe town,
Danbury the hat town and other places
are instanced. The varied conditions
in the distribution of manufacturing
establishments are discussed, and many
satisfactory conclusions arrived at
which are calculated to give people and
genius in other parts of the country
stimulation to plant their industries
with character as well as capital at
their back, and places now unknown
will reveal themselves as great and i'm
portant centers of production and popu-
lation.
