"Not l." Beth decidedly answered. "Our
enemies may do their worst"
Beth and Cassie were noted as the two who
had had the greatest number of hair-breadth
escapes from summary discipline among all
the girls in the seminary. They enjoyed the
reputation it gave them without thought Of
the consequences.
The last term had witnessed such exceed
ingly reckless behavior that Madam had stern

quietly.
Madam made gesture of relief.
"I shall be so pleased if you can manage to
keep an eye on them, SO that they will not
go to far; but" she sternly continued, ere
member that l shall not condone any more

That was how Miss Foster came to occupy
the second bedroom in Corridor G, and to
share the sitting room with Beth and Cassie.

said Beth to Cassie. as she passed out for
moment.
"Don't be too sure" Cassie whispered back.
'Perhaps we don't get her meaning"
But Miss Foster seemed to have none. She
chose nook by the window for her desk,
after finding that the girls never occupied it,
and seemed to have no time for other than
her own occupations, except to suggest to Beth
how she might improve her rhetoric lessons
and to shed light upon Cassie's problems.

But the moonlight fell full upon the alley.
She, hesitated for moment, then softly un-

No one was visible as she peered down the
narrow way; then she darted up it over the
few feet intervening.
The bars of the old fence would not yield
to her steady pull; and she crawled between
them and stood among the melons.
A ripe cantelope was easy to find, SO it was
but a moment before she was hastily crawl

one in her arms.
AS she emerged into the alley, long shad-

1t certainly was not Sandy. For a second

sudden dash for the gateway below, and ran

gramme which would soon give US
navy adequate for our interests The
speaker then asked this pointed ques-
ton: Which would be the most ex-
pensive-peace with the navy or war
without it?
Mr.. Bryan and many others think
that am young and hot-headed and
for that reason am looking for war;"
he continued. but l have had taste
OF war and it is enough He told how
he visited the scenes of the Russo
Japanese war and saw the suffering
and misery and knew that the United
States could have prevented such a
struggle had they possessed an ade-
quate navy when Russia refused to
leave Manchuria. The speaker closed
by saying that heaven looks to Amer
lea for the uShering in of universal
peace and to accomplish this work we
must have three navies-one for the
far east, one for the Pacific coast, and
one for the Atlantic-and they must
be big enough to give us the suprem-
acy at all these points.

read his peace and navy resolutions

mayor of the city in putting the mat
ter before the congressman and sena-
tors of the state.a
When asked by the State Journal
reporter about the current reports of
spies in this country, Mr.. Hobson said
that there was no, doubt about the
presence of such spies and that the re-
cent trips of Japanese generals to this
country were not merely for social
calls. He was also asked whether it
would not De impossible to secure men
to man the ships of his proposed navy

those we now have His reply was
that If the navy were made what it
should be, a young man could find a
career there which would be most at
tractive and the problem of men
would. solve itself. The captain feels
much encouraged by the support of
the president who. is strong for

new WORDS OF CHRIST
Discovered in Egypt by Archaeology
cal Explorers.

London. July 20.@Two archaeolog-
ical discoveries in Egypt OF excep-
tonal interest have become known.
They consist of some new sayings of
Christ and of extremely ancient
crude manufactures, conjecturally
thousands of years old. The sayings
of Christ were found near an old
Coptic monastery at Eofu. They were
found by natives, who sold them for
a few pounds to an Arab trader They
are about a dozen rolls of sixth cen
fury Greek papyri. They include %
leaves of apocrvphal sayings of Christ
In Coptic translation of almost
Greek origin of which previously only
thirteen leaves were known, II OF
them being in the national gallery at
Paris and one at Berlin.
The discovery also includes parts
of the gospels of ST. Matthew, ST.
Mark and st. Luke in Greek.

CHASED INTO CREEK.
State Militia Has Fun With a Mob in
Louisiana

Hahnville, La, July eo.-An attempt
by a mob of 100 men to get at the
Italians convicted of completely in the
Lamana murder and kidnapping ended in
a ludicrous fiascc early today. When
the mob, nearly all the members of
which were armed, flushed the pickets
they acted in manner which indica-
ted they had been led to believe the
troops would offer no resistance They
were speedily undeceived and a de-
tachment of 20 soldiers, headed by Ma
jor Wheat, chased them down the rail-
road tracks.
When about a score OF the mob mem
bers were on a short trestle, the spec
ial train bearing additional troops from
New Orleans appeared coming in the
opposite direction. Several of those on
the trestle were compelled to jump into
a creek to escape the special. 1t is not
believed that any one was seriously in
jured. The mob started back to New
Orleans shortly after the specials ar
rival and the danger was over.

Glass case over the admissibility as
evidence of similar offenses'' of the
testimony of ten of the members of
the board of supervisors that they ac-

Lawlor that smallpox had broken out

both Mayor Schmitz and Vice Presi-

witnessed the incident, that Colonel
Augusta Azzallf, leader of the Banda
Gendarme of Guadalajara, Mexico,
who was drowned in the surf last
evening, died a hero. Three of Az

or realizing the danger He managed
to push the drowning men toward
shore, until they found a firm footing,
but his struggles exhausted him and
he sank.
Azzalli and his band went to Phila-

did not know it. About the time he
lost his life the list of prize winners

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Cat0rrh?

Should List of the ingredients OF Pa"
runa be submitted to any medical exc
pert, of whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one of them was ofun-
doubted value in chronic catarrhal dis
eases, and had stood the test of many
years experience in the treatment OF
such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE wABOUT THIS WHAT
EVER. Peruna is composed ofthe most
efficacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient
of Peruna has a reputation of its own
in the cure of some phase of catarrh.
Peruna brings to the home the COM
BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat
ment Of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and knowl-
edge ofthe modern pharmacist; and last
but notleast, brings to the home thevast
and varied experience of DR.. Hartman,
inthe use fcatarrh remedies, and in the
treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. It may DO ofthe nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has triedto
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that q catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as ne is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and of
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can besuppied direct
II to the people, and no more be charged
for it than is necessary for the
handling of it.
No other household remedy 30 uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection Of the critics.

W.. E. Sterne, county commissioner
of Shawnee county, called upon the
state tax commission Thursday, and
reminded them that the assessed valu-
alton of Shawnee county should be

that Shawnee assesses all its property
on much higher percentage of va1u-

state.
1t is expected that the tax commits
sioners will complete their work of
equalization sometime next week, and
be. ready to make a report on, the new
basis for Ievying taxes in this county.
