Ordered His own Execut,sn.

A sergeant-major in the German
army named, Lizmann, stationed at
Bremen, committed suicide recently
by ordering Is of his men TO take
aim at his heart and fire.
Lizmann called out the men for
practice in execution drill and had, ,
unknown to them, loaded their rifles
with ball cartridges. He imperson-
ated- doomed man and stood at Is
PAGES from the firing party. He or
dered them to aim at his heart,
and carefully tested the level OF
their weapons. He corrected one
man whose rifle was pointed too low.
Then raising his cap he gave the
order to fire, crying at the same time,
"Hoch, der Kaiser" He fell dead,
shot through the body in Is places.
The sergeant-major was some time
ago court-martialed for accfdently
shooting a civilian in the course OF
a heated discussion. He had an eX-
cellent military record, but was SEN
fenced to term of Imprisonment.
In a letter found in his quarters
he, wrote that after having been a
loyal and jealous soldier he would
never consent to the degradation of
undeserved Imprisonment.

Pancakes AND Lemons.

Lack of lemons and pancakes in
he family bill of fare caused Mrs.
Rebecca Thomas Mogilewsky, a pref
" East Side girl Of 10, to apply TO
Justice Davis, in the Supreme Court,
~or separation from her husband,
senjamin Mogilewsky, banker. She
Weighs $50 pounds. He Is feet
all and weighs so pounds. Accord
ng to the complaint, the banker
loon after marriage made some re-
marks tounching on the lack OF

'ea brewed, talked OF divorce. At
Two months the pancake vendetta
broke out afresh. and things went
rom bad TO worse Then the bride

the ingenuity and courage OF modern
Chinese pirates: Ten mens who APP
peared TO be harm2ess &toTers,
boarded the British steam saGnch
Fienam Just below WuchOW. They
had been on board only a little time
when they suddenly produced re-
volyers, searched and bound the pas

rudder and deliberately collided,
while going at high speed, with a
larger Chinese launch, the Chanfook.
The robbers were flung to the deck
by the force. OF the collision, but
instantly sprang up and ieaped Sen
board the Chanfook.
Again the crew and PASSENGERS
were carefully searched, robbed and
bound. This done, they were thrown
headlong on to the captives lying
at the bottom OF the Fieaam The
pirate leader then returned on board
the latter and quickly wrecked the
machinery. The Fienam, helpless
and with her helpless cargo, was cut
adrift. Steaming up in the dark on
the ChanfOok, with no lights show
ing, the pirates attacked a commits
sloner's armed launched, on board
Of which a guard of eight soldiers
was watching over valuable cargo
but this time they were beaten off.
In no wise discouraged, the pir-
ates steered of, and next attacked
and Overpowered the launch Saiyik
When the dawn came the pirates ran
the Chanfook on the beach and made
off unharmed. Their nights work
had brought them nearly $4,000
