The Trees i'm Sprinytimt

The awakening of the trees, and the
rapidity with which they array them.
selves in the new foliage of spring, al.
ways fill us with wonder. Each year
they reveal anew their richness Of life,
but we are eve quite prepared for
the phenomenon, for in all their moods
and aspects, save this one, the trees
suggest to us the spirit of calmness,
of deliberation, of repose.
We revisit the familiar forest Of
childhood with certain feelings of hest
tation and doubt, fearing it may be
SO changed that we cannot renew the
old intimacy. We examine the sugar.
naples, and find upon their trunks but
slight traces Of the auger-holes which
We bored in sapping-time long ago.
They have done their best to conceal
these old wounds with fresh bark. A
few dead branches above, however,
gave mute evidence of the robbery Of
sap; otherwise they are unchanged.
The oaks which were young when we
were boys are still young. The beech
es, upon which we carved our initials
in boyhood, stand with the firmness Of
Doric columns, still displaying our sig
natures in their bark, as though striv-
ing by these tokens TO keep our mem

HONEST PHYSICIAN

Works with Himself First.
1t Is a mistake to assume that ply
siclans are always skeptical as to the
curative properties of anything else
than drugs.
Indeed, the best doctors are those
who e to heal with as little use of
drugs as possible and by the use of
correct food and drink. A physician
writes from California to tell how he
made :: well man of himself with Ma
lures remedy:
Before l came from Europe, where
/ was born" he says, ut was my
custom to take coffee with milk (cafe

small cup (cafe noir) after my dinner
and two OF three additional cups ut my
club during the evening.
I'm time nervous symptoms devel-
oped, with pains in the cardiac region,
and accompanied by great depression

toms returned, and / quit it also, and
tried to use milk for my table bever-

with the United States and were con-
Quoted with the greatest secrecy, there
being not the slightest inkling that
Russia contemplated anything of the
kind.
The announcement created the
greatest surprise. That Russia should
plan a second conference, despite the
steps already taken by President
Roosevelt, was heard with amaze
ment. 1t is clear that the step could
not be taken by Russia without first
reaching a complete understanding
with President Roosevelt.
The fact that President Roosevelt is
reported as being entirely in sympathy
with the proposal, and that he is said
to believe that to the initiator of the
first Hague conference should belong
the honor of c%onvoking the second, and
readily and gladly acceded to the Rus
sian proposal, is clear proof that the
conference already has been called.
and that President Roosevelt relin-
Quished his part in it to Emperor
Nicholas.
There will be many important topics
discussed at the next worlds peace
conference and it is the belief of some
Washington men that an agreement
will be reached by which the danger Of
war will be greatly decreased by con
Guiding a treaty which will provide
that war shall be waged only for GER
tain vital reasons and only after an
honest attempt has been made to
reach an amicable agreement.
One of the important questions to
be considered will be the firing Of ex-
plosives from balloons. At the last
peace conference it was agreed that
for a period of five years no nation
a party to the treaty would resort to
this practice. The ive-year limit has
expired and there is nothing to prevent
any nation from dropping projectiles
from balloons into the territory of it's
enemy.
Another important question will be
the more liberal treatment of h Red
Cross society by all the nations during
q war. looking to giving it more liber-
ty of action and better protection. The
treatment of the sick and wounded
will also be taken up and some regu-
lations regarding the launching of
floating mines will be considered, rs
well as the sphere of action Of sub
r"~rine vessels.
When the conference convenes some
proposition looking to limiting the
sphere of military operations will be
submitted with a view to mitigating
the horror of war, and limiting the
scope of operations to a smaller area.
Questions growing out Of the Russian
japanese war will also be taken up for
consideration, including that Of the dis
position of interned warships.

CIRCUS TENT BLOWN DOWN.
Bros.' Big Canvas C~oIIapses
on 5000 People.

At Maryville, Mo-. three persons were
mortally hurt and more than a score
seriously injured when the tents of the
Ringing Brothers circus were blown
down Monday afternoon
Five thousand persons were gathered
in the main tent when the storm broke
and the scene of panic and suffering that
followed the collapse of the big tent
cannot be described. Great poles and
whole rows of seats came crashing TO
the ground, bearing the bodies of specta-
tors-meD, women and children-beneath
them. Cries of the injured and the
shrieks of fear of those who were not
hurt were mingled with the roaring Of
lions, the trumpeting of elephants and
the fearful cries of rage and terror of
wild animals in cages or in chains. Twen-
ty cages containing animals were over
turned in the midst of the crowd, and
the fear that the animals would escape
gave new stress to the panic.
The great, heavy, wet canvas buried
all for some minutes and rendered the
work of rescuing the injured very diff
difficult. The stronger of those in the
audience rushed for the exits when the
first crash came and, in their frenzy TO
escape, rushed between mothers and their
children, separated families, knocked
down frail women and added to the gen
eraI confusion and peril of the situation.
The most seriously injured were caught
under the great center poles of the main
tent. Scarcely one of those buried un-
der the wreckage escaped slight bruises
and cuts. Otto Ringing said this was
the worst storm his circus had encoun-
tered since 1899.

~NNH
The figures show that the number of
executions has decreased steadily since
1888, while the number of murders and
homicides has increased. but there is
nothing in the statistics to explain the
decrease.
Eminent lawyers ascribe the decrease
in executions TO two causes, one being
the growing sentiment against capital
punishment and the other and more i'm
portant one being the lax administration
of the criminal laws and the fact that
attorneys take advantage of every tech
~nicality to save the lives Of the murder
ers they are hired 70 defend. Secretary
Taft, in his Yale address, referred TO the
prevalence of this method of practice
among criminal lawyers, and declared
that the judges should be given the pow
er to compel the lawyers to try their
cases on their merits and not permit
them to eXaggerate unimportant evidence
and cover up the salient points.
Statistics covering the years since 1894
to 1908 show tAe causes of all murders
and homicidCs committed in that period.
During the eleven years LOOP persons
lost their lives as the result of quarrels,
3,50S as the result Of unknown causes.
1887 as the result of jealousy, Bill
were killed by highTaymen and 2,516
mothers killed their infants. In resist
ing arrest 1,4G0 persons were killed and
1,1O1 higAwaymen were killed. Insanity
was the cause of 1892 deaths and 516
persons were killed during strikes.
There were fewer lynchings in 1904
than any year since 1894. In 1892, ac-
cording to the statistics, there were 23O
persons killed by lynchers, the greatest
number in any of the eleven years. The
number killed by lynching has fuctuated
each year, but there has been n gradual
decrease until 1904, showing there wero
only 90 lives taken by mob violence.

of morphine and then severed the
arteries in both his wrists. The
poison had taken effect when he was
discovered, and besides he had
almost bled to death, though he was
still feebly hacking at his throat with
a small knife with which he had cut
his wrist. AS soon as he was found
he was disarmed and as quickly as
possible preparations were made to
carry him to the operating table in
