THE THEBAN SPHINX.-The Theban
sphinx was said to be monster sent
by Juno to lay waste the country
around Thebes. 1t had the head ID
bust of a woman, the body of dog,
the wings Of bird, the paws OF a
lion and a human voice. 1t at once

against the wall, and the land had

When medical experts are on op. posite sides in lawsuit they have never been known to agree even on the deductions drawn from a hypothetical case. Facts that are not hypothetical seem to fare no better. In a contested life insur. ance case in Louisville the theory was advanced that the insured had committed suicide by poison. Here would seem to the layman to be q case where agreement was possi. ble. Tho tests would show the presence of poison or they would not. We'll, the experts disagreed according to rule. And then the insurance company did wise thing. They paid the policy, with out mourning additional costs.-- Gazette.

and they have undertaken to clean
the bed of Manistee river from its
mouth to its source, drawing the
sunken logs to the surface, Sklddlng
them and leaving them on the river
banks to dry. AS fast as they are
ready they will be fioated down to

RAGING FOR THE
HARMWORTH CUP

BORDEAUX, France, Sept. IL
Several hundred devotees of the
motor boat sport from all parts of
the world have given themselves
rendezvous in the Bay of Area
chen, about 20 miles south of this
city, to attend the first series of
auto-boat races for the interna-
tional Harmsworth cup. The Brit.
ish international cup is named after
it's donor, Sir Alfred Harmsworth,
and is an open challenge cup, held
by the winner for one year only.
Each country entering the competi-
ton for the cup may be represent
ed by three boats. In the contest
which begins at Arcachon Bay to-
day, America is represented by
two challengers, the Challenger,
now owned by w. Gould Brokaw,
and the Dixie. owned by e. r.
Thomas. Both boats are of $50
horse power, a trifle under 40 feet
long and equipped with eight-cylin-
der engines. The Challenger is
well known, having competed in
many races in northern and south
ern waters. Last winter in Florida
it made record of one mile in two
minutes on the lax near Palm
Beach. 1t was the only boat rep
resenting America in the Harms
worth cup race last year, when it
was held in English waters. Since
then it has been greatly improved
and strong hopes are entertained
that it will give a good account of
itself at the races this week. The
hulls of both boats have been de-
signed by Clinton H. Crane.
The Dixie is considered a won
derfully swift boat and has had
many highly satisfactory trials on
the Hudson and in Jamaica Bay.
The boat is said to have not only
speed, but the ability to keep it
up for a longer distance than that
called for by the Harnsworth cup
race.

Recently several of her scholars,

This incident caused her to give up

the insurrectionist corps and has de-
veloped into an expert guerrilla
fighter.
Miss Atanova is known to all the

Atanova is a crack shot, and has
killed five Turks in small Skin
mishes, besides having participated

LAWSON'S PROPERTY
IS SOLD FOR TAXES

BOSTON, Sept. 11.-Many inter
ested spectators will attend the
public auction in front of the court
house this afternoon, when Thomas
w. Lawson's Back Bay property,
including the homestead, stables,
etc, will be sold for taxes. 1t
seems that the property was trans
ferred by Mr.. Lawson to his wife,
Mrs. JEANNE A. Lawson, two years
ago. Mr.. Lawson at that time over
looked the fact that the taxes for
1902 and 1903 had not been paid.
Tax Collector Mcdonald, failing to
collect the taxes and accrued in
terest. amounting to $3.50, adver-
tised it for sale and set the auction
for this afternoon.
When Mr. Lawson of "Frenzied
Finance" fame heard of the an
nouncement of the sale he was at
first inclined to send his agent to
the collector and let him pay the
taxes, but on second thought he de-
cided not to spoil the fun of the
auction. In regard to the matter
Mr. Lawson said to a friend: Il
do hope the city will get sufficient
to pay that fifty-five hundred.
Otherwise we would have to throw
| in a dog or two" 1t is expected
that Mr.. Lawson or his agent will
bid in the property at the auction
