King Oscar II of Sweden the best be-
loved monarch in Europe, died Sunday
morning, after long illness. The an,
nouncement of his death was received
with the greatest sorrow large crowds
standing with bowed heads and stream
ing eyes long after the official announce
ment of the death. King Oscar was re-
garded as the most learned man in Eur
ope being "a philosopher and student of
many things, and his reign has been an
eventful one No trouble is expected as
a result of the death, and the succession
will pass without dissensiOn.

tions than man in a similar position
In this case Mrs Bradley herself was
on view. with her tears and her past.
In the more common instances where
men are tried for killing a man who
either actually or imaginedly wronged
some woman close to them the element
of pathos is less moving, yet II exists
In fact, il exists to such an extent that
frequently juries are drawn by pity ID
TO returning verdicts of acqulttal. Vs.
ually by presenting the woman IN the
case, as was done in some notorious
trials within the past few months the
men on trial appeal more polgnantly TO
the sympathies of their Juries. How
much more appealing must be the hS-
ure of woman who herself committed
a murder, who herself enacted the role,
heroic or not, Of the avenger-the aVen-
ger of her own degradation. Mrs. Brad
ley affected the jury in this makeup.
She was presented to the members as
suffering, misused, tormented, ruined
soul: a wreck of woman whose life
had been shattered by the man whom
she loved; who through the very vast
ness of her love for him and the volume
of her agony over his mistreatment kill
ed him The role was played to finish
The fact that she was no infant IN arms,
innocent, trusting and blushing, cut no
figure. Her sophistication and delib-
erateness, her minimum of scruples, her
w.llful and open living in adultery with
her victim counted for little. Juries
are best affected by down-trodden vir-
tue This jury got their fill. Never
was virtue more down trodden than Mrs.
Bradley's lawyers made it appear to he
personifed by herself. She goes free.

TO DO AND DIE.

If the corpulent army officers were
dismdyed by the executive order some
time ago requiring them to ride fifteen
miles in one day, it will not be easy to
picture their feelings over the order of
yesterday. This requires that AL field
officers shall ride thirty miles a day for
three consecutive days, and shall accom-.
pany commands on their monthly prac.
tice march.
To the equestrian civilian this
may mean little TO every army officer
saddle service one time or another. A
ride one day, long or short, is not very
terrible, for there is opportunity for the
application Of arnica the next day. But
riding thirty miles 2 day for three con

used to run newspaper in Iowa, tells
how the heavy advertiser of the town
once entered the editorial Office and,
with anger and disgust depicted in

made in my ad. this week."
