Female Bandit Forfeits Life.

Washington special: Apolona Caetra, a
notorious female bandit of Batangas prov
ince, in the Philippines, has been killed
by the constabulary, according to infor.na-
ton received here. She held the rank of
lieutenant under Lucio De Vega. the out
law chief, and led his companies with the
skill of a veteran. When detachment of
constabulary scouts, under Lieutenants
Vealsquez and Estrella, surprised her in
the mountains she refused to surrender, and
by the example of her reckless courage,
caused her men to stand by her in a fight
to the death. She dressed as man and
had disdained woman's attire ever since
she embarked on her career of crime.

CHICAGO.

t,hp7nn Chicago trade, published
by r. c.. Dun & Co.. says:
An unusually good official crop report,
increased use Of money and further
broadening in demands upon produc-
tive branches have been encouraging
developments and favorably affected
the business situation generally. A
material addition to activity was de-
rived from the opening of lake traffic
and large initial water movement of
necessary INV material.
Country advices indicate that farm
work is advanced several weeks earlier
than usual. and this has given decid-
ed impetus to trading. Jobbers' sales
have exceeded the total of a year ago
in most of the staple lines. dry goods,
footwear and clothing leading. Road
statesmen continue turning in satisfac-
tory orders for warm weather goods.

in magnitude, breadstunfs and provis-
ions exhibiting more firmness on in

A DOUBLE LIFE.
Death Revealed That Deacon Had
Two wives Living.

Two wives Living.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, June Pit is
said that Peter II. Deacon. who died
recently in Chicago, he'd lived a double
life for twenty years. having at the
same time families in Somerville
Mass. Il suburb of Boston, and in Mil
waukee.
Deacon came west twenty years ago
and married Fannie Adeline Wilcox.
He was known as the agent for a knit
ting manufacturing firm and had an
office in Milwaukee. Deacon was n
leading supporter of the St James
Episcopal church. At the same time
he had wife and seven children re-
siding in Somerville, Mass, having
been married to Anna j. Tuite in Som
erville by the Rev. James Healy in
1865. The second marriage took place
nearly twenty years later.
The story of the double life leaked
out when John Heating, husband of n
daughter born Of Deacon's first mar
rage, came west for the purpose of Sc
curing proofs of Deacon's death and
adjusting two life insurance policies
According to Keating's story, Deacon
for many years represented to the wife
in Massachusetts that he was travel
ing man and that his business kept
him in the west most Of the time. His
visits to his eastern home were limit
ed to about two each year The only
western address known to his eastern
family was the Hotel Wellington Chi
cago. For long time Mr.. Deacon
the Somerville family, but
shortly before his death his contribu-
tons ceased altogether.

He Saw 1t.

An American touring in the country with an English friend stopped to point out to him a sign post on which some wag had printed this sign:
 "This way to Squedunk. Those who cannot read apply at the blacksmith ) opposite"
 The American roared with laughter, but the Englishman looked puzzled. After they had returned home that night the Engllshman came into his hosts room roaring with laughter.

Persistence of Aged Vote rs.

Timothy Woodruff was talking to some friends at Republican headquar- ters the day after the last Presidential election, when some one casually made an observation as to certain returns from Delaware County.
 "That's the county" said MT. Wood ruff, "where, they say, the old-time Republicans never die. A friend of mine told me once of the astonishing number of octogenarian voters to be seen in the neighborhood of Phoenicia. Why he remarked, there is one old chap there, 9S years old, who voted for Roosevelt, and says he isn't through yet. The fact is there are many other aged Republicans up there who, hon. estly believe, will have to be shot if they are to die in time for the resur- rection.'"

Disastrous EXperiment.

They're telling of Jackson County farmer who found an auto horn in the road one day and took it home and taught his chickens to recognize its honk as their feed call. Instead or calling them in the old-fashioned way the farmer or his wife would blow the auto horn. One day an automobilist passed the farm going about fifteen miles an hour and footing his horn. The chickens near the house took out after the auto and fourteen hens and three roosters ran themselves to death behind the machine.-Kansas City Times.

Explained.

There is a well-known story told by Dean Ramsay years ago of two old la dies in his church.
 "Was it no wonderful thing" said one of them, "that the Breetish were aye victorious over the French in bat tie"
 "Not a bit," said the other, "dinna ye ken the Breetish say their prayers before gaen into battle?
 "Aye," returned the first, "but canna the French say their prayers as weel?"
