and six sailors fell in the opening of
hostilities
When the shells began breaking over
the town. the Moors quickly fell back
and the French sailors were able to
take up the wounded and care for them.
The MOors are aroused as they never
were before, and. spurred on by their
fanatic fears that invasion of their

selves for a stubborn defense of what
they deem their rights.

FreckIe-Faced Boy Does Not Regret

murderer of his widowed mother, has be-

reform school at Lincoln. Neb. He is
Calf Mccoy. an alert little lad. Calf
is not at all contrite over his deed. He
says he killed his mother because she was
mean 10 him. Rock county is up on the
edge of the sandhills. and on a qua rter
section lived the Widow Mccoy and her
three sons. 1t was a hard life the fam
lily led. Work all day, little pleasure, no
schooling-this was the program the lad
was familiar with from infancy.
The widow was a hard taSkmaster and
she did not spare the rod. On June 8
she gave Calf a sound whipping for fail
ure to perform a task to her liking. Calf
told his mother he would FIX her. She
whaled him a little harder for his threat.
The next day she told the three boys TO
come with her to the field TO plant beans.
Calf slipped into the kitchen and got the
family revolver. Hiding it under his coat,
he went TO the field. While his mother
was crocched down ut her task he walked
up to within five or six feet of her and
shot her through the head. She died in
few moments.
Calf made no pretense of lying about
what he had done. He said she had whip
ped him a number of times without cause,
that she was mean TO him and to his
brothers and that he had but carried out
his open threat to her when last she whip
ped him. He did not weep then. and he
hasn't wept since over her death.

county. Hallstones twelve inches In
circumference cut the blades from the

extent of $4,000 on a libel suit brought
by w. II. Lever of Liverpool, has settled
another similar suit by the payment of
$4,000 and the publication of az apol-
ogy. This latter suit was brought by Jo-

Not less than 5000 troops have been
summoned to the vicinity of Belfast, Ire
arising from the strike of the dock labor
ers for increased pay and shorter hours.
The calling of troops was due partly to
the fact that the police had struck to
enforce their demand for more pay be-
cause of the extra work. The strikers
were attacking non-union laborers at ev-
cry opportunity. One feature of the
trouble is the closing of a number of
spinning mills through inability to obtain
coal.

Russia and Japan, which occurred re-
cently, will be followed shortly by the
publication of a political entente wiping

Russia, the two countries mutually guar
anteeing each others rights and terrific
