| NEW YORK, Sept. 2O.-Never
her so large and enthusiastic a
crowd greeted an incoming vessel
as that which covered every avail
able foot of ground and overflowed
into yachts, tugs and skyscrapers,
wherever there was chance to
see the marvellous quadruple-screw
turbine steamer, Lusitania, when
she wormed her way to her dock at
! the end of her first trip across the
Atlantic.
Gaily decked with flags from
stem to stern, she came in all her
majesty up the harbor. Statutes
from every steam vessel in the bay
were answered by the blasts from
her powerful sirens and as she
dipped the Union Jack aft, cheers
arose from the threats of countless
thousands.
The Lusitania is 100 feet long
and SO feet broad; she has dis
placement of $4,000 tons on load
draft. The horsepower of her tur-
bine engines is $4,000 She can ac-
commodate $50 first class, 500 sec

SAYS MOTHER
SOLD HORSES
YOUNG GIRL GIVES DETAILS
OF STEALING ANIMALS OFF
RANGE AND DRIVING THEM
TO SPOKANE.

A dramatic scene was witnessed
In police court yesterday afternoon
when the state introduced the testi'
mony of Lizzie Paschilk against
her mother, Mrs. August Paschilk,
who was having a hearing on a
charge of receiving and disposing
of two horses her daughter had
stolen. Mrs. Paschilk was bound
over to the superior court and
bond fixed at $500.
Her daughter, a rosy-cheeked
girl of 16, told how she had lassoed
the horses belonging to Kootenai
Pete. an Indian, near Marcus, and
drove them to Spokane, where they
were disposed of through her moth
er's aid. Mrs. Paschilk contained
herself for about 20 minutes and
then gave way to her grief. She
clasped her hands, burst into tears
and went down upon her knees.
"Oh, my poor baby, would you send
your mother to jail?" she moaned
as she crawled to the witness stand
and chung to her daughters skirts.
Matron Tanner, of the Salvation
Army, had difficulty in parting
them.
During the course of her testi-
mony the girl told of buying I'M
broke horses from Indians, break
ing them herself and selling them.
But the two animals which caused
her arrest, she confessed to steal
ing. They were sold to the Spo-
kane Meat & Poultry Co. for $140,
of which, the girl said, her mother
took s95, gave her $40 and paid a
blacksmith S. for helping make the
sale.
The girls parents live here. the
father being employed in a mill.
She testified that she had brought
the horses from Marcus, taking
three days for the trip. After the
hearing she was remanded back to
the juvenile court.

Work that was turns a deaf ear to
the greeting, for in her heart there
is a pain that will not be quieted,
and in her throat there is a sob that
cannot be stilled.
What is a woman to do when her
love for her husband makes her an
outcast from the home of her faith
er and from high society, where
once she ruled queen, and stands
between her sons and fortune?
Should she give up her husband
in order to earn the forgiveness of
her father and thereby gain mil
lions for her sons and luxury for
herself?
Should she place that love above
everything. forego the smart set,
endure plain living and leave her
sons to fight their way in the
world?
Mrs. Frances Work Burke-Roche-
Batonyi has, with tears and anguish
for two years given consideration
to this question. Now, pale and

Neither King Carol of Roumania nor
his queen, known in the world of lit
erature as Carmen Sylvia, had any de-
sire for regal honors, and when the as
sassination of Gar Alexander in 1881
forced them on Roumania's unhappy
throne they went protestingly. Carol
finally consented to be king, but de-
clared he would never sit upon a
throne or wear a crown.
The chamber and senate at Bucha-
rest insisted. declaring the people
wanted and had a right to expect SYM
bols of royalty. Carol protested that
a coronation ceremony would make
himself and his wife ridiculous, like
actors in play" but was forced to
yield and get himself a crown.
But no headgear of silks and pre-
cious stones for him. He sent to the
arsenal for one of the cannons cap
be melted down and from it's steel a
crown be made, ..in remembrance of
the brave Roumanian blood shed for
liberty" And with this he was

Parsimony Means Health.

did you ever notice." said a prom
inent physical culture teacher of New
York, that parsimonious people al
most always enjoy good health and
long life? Eating has great deal to do
with this. We learn that one wealthy
person lunches always on a cup Of tea
and a doughnut; that the great stand
by Of another was apples.
1T is not only that they eat frugal
ly that accounts for their excellent
health, but that there is so much reg
ularity in their diet. The first thing
the economical person does, as a rule
is to reduce living to system. He
studies how he can subsist best for the
least money, and then allows himself
very little variety from the regular or
der of things.
Regularity of diet means great
saving of time and money in his eyes,
and, whether he knows it or not, in
adopting a rule of eating there is moth
ing which counts so much in building
up robust constitutions York

Thunderstorns.

Do not imagine that because a heavy
thunderstorm is far away to leeward
it is not likely to arise and wet you
Even if the wind is blowing right
against the cloud it will come your
way all the more surely, for thunder
storms always travel against the wind
The reason for this is that there is in
variably commencement of air ABOVE
the breeze that you feel close to the
earth, and this sky high wind blows in
the opposite direction to the one which
alone you can detect. Thus the tenn
pest seems to work it's way right
through the winds eyes in very con-
trary sort of way. Fog never does this:
neither does ordinary rain-at least
very seldom-but snow or sleet some
times works its way up wind just as
the tempest does. Sheet lightning, by
the way, is not distinctive sort of
light, but merely the reflection in the
sky of forked flash many miles away.
You can tell how far away tempest
is by counting the number of seconds
that pass between the flash and the
peal. Each second stands for about a
mile.-New York Herald.
