SAVES A CHILD'S LIFE.
Of Runaway Horse on Bur
leigh Street.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. O.
Three small children narrowly escaped
death under the hoofs of a runaway
horse on Burleigh street near Island ave-
nue. Tuesday at noon and were saved
only by the presence of mind and quick
action of Carl Helwig, painter living
at 135 Burleigh street.
The horse of John Bloom, a mason
contractor at 164 Burleigh street, became
frightened while standing in the barn
yard, hitched TO a heavy plasterer's wag-
on, and started at a gallop across empty
lots. With one bound it jumped over
Il picket fence five feet high, the front
wheels Of the wagon clearing the fence,
while the rear wheels tore through it.
The crash frightened the animal to q
frenzy and it ran at terrific speed along
the sidewalk between Il row of trees and
lawns down Burleigh street toward
Island avenue.
HeIwig, hearing the clatter Of the
horses hOOfs and the rafting wagon
behind them on the board walk rushed
out to find his two children and the
4-year-oId daughter of Fred G. Mein-
hardt, on the sidewalk directly in the
pathway of the advancing animal. He
shouted a warning cry before he reached
the sidewalk which was Obeyed by the
two older children. With one bound he
jumped down the steps directly in front
of the horse, and Selling the third child
threw him back on the lawn and jumped
away just in time to escape the swaying
wagon.

THEFT CUTS DOWN
HIS PRISON TERM,
Paroled Convict of Reformatory Escapes
Law After Year in Prison-Auto
Caused Downfall.

GREEN BAY, Wis, Aug. 2.-[Spe-
cial. For embezzling $50 from Henry
L. Wilson of Wilson's dairy Clarence
Savage of this city, aged % years, es-
capes serving twelve years in the Wis
consin state reformatory. Young Savage
was sent to the reformatOry three years
ago for a term of from two years to
fifteen years and was out on parole when
he embcZZled the money.
This morning he entered Il plea Of
guilty TO the embezzIcment charge. and
Judge Monahan of the municipal court
announced Il sentence of one year at
Waupun. When the young man COM
pletes his prison term, he will be free,
according to the opinion of the judge.
Savage thus avoids serving out his time
ut the reformatory.
No case in which test was response
bic for the shortening of the term of the
prisoner is known in the court records of
Brown county, and this case stands out,
bearing that peculiar decision.
Young Savage embezZlcd the money
from the Wilson people, after he longcd
to take an automobile ride. The thought
of speeding about in an auto seemed
pleasant to him and grew upon him until
finally he stole the money to take the
much coveted ride. 1t was while he was
enjoying himself in the car in company
with a young woman, that an officer
placed him under arrest.

Indications Prove Words Are Ar
ranged There Like Library Books.
Disorders of speech, due to physical
damage in the brain. show that words
are there arranged somewhat like books
on library shelves. When man,
therefore, learns & new language he
has to provide a new shelf for It's
words This is proved by the case,
among many others like 1t, Of a man
who, besides mis- mother English, learn
ed French Latin and Greek He be-
came word-blind in English, but still
could read French, though with some
mistakes, and Latin with fewer mis-
takes than French. while Greek he
could read notwithstanding that his
English shelf was ruined, his French
shelf damaged. his Latin shelf less SO,
while his Greek row escaped entirely.
Other instances show that the books
may be so damned sidewise, so to
speak. that not one of them can be
got out, in which case the event proves
that on each shelf the verbs are placed
first, the prououns next, then the pre-
positions and adverbs and the nouns

1t Is Not n Very Powerful Tie When

1T Is Not Very Powerful Tie When
Commerce la at Stake.
II alliance by kinship could guaran-
tee the peace of nations, Great Britain
Is in a position to maintain friendly
relations with nearly all the countries
of Europe, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. The birth Of an heir to the
throne Of Spain brings that country
into close association with England, as
far as royal relationship goes. King
Edward married the daughter Of a
ruler who was called the grandfather
or Europe" and a British journal re-
calls with much qualification the des-
ignation of King Edward as 1.-The un-
Gle of Europe" The British monarch
Is second cousin to the King OF Bel
GUM, to the King of Portugal and to
Ferdinand, the elected Prince Of Bull
garia. Among the nephews and niecas
of Edward VII. are the present or ex
pectant rulers of Russia, Germany.
Greece and Sweden The Kings dauch-
ter Maud was married in 1896 to
Prince Karl of Denmark, now King
aaakon VII. of Norway. These are
Austro-Brittsh royal relationships. A
collateral kinship exists between the
King of Italy and King Edward. and
an indirect connection can be Traced
between the British monarch and the
King Of Seryia, the Queen of Holland
and the royal house OF France. if that
be worth mentioning.
1t is impossible to say what fnfIu-
ence these direct and indirect bonds
between the British dynasty and con
tinental rulers would have in keeping
the peace of Europe if it we're men
aced by a substantial dispute. ROYAL
relationshipsha not prevented war in
the past and most persons will not
place much confidence in such connec-
tons as factors for peace in the fu-
ture. National sentiment counts for
more in these days than the personal
interests Of soyereigns
Whatever the effort. it is obviously
one of the purposes of royal marriages
to cement the friendships of nations.
Such alliances are often affairs of
.>tate rather than Of personal affection.
cut they have not superseded the neces-
sity for the political alliances, often
sive and defensive, under which the
nations are grouped. The ties of royal
kinship do not appear as part of the
motive for such political alliances and
we imagine that they would prove to
be only a slight deterrent if they were
the only obstacle TO d collision. The
interruption OF commerce in the mod
ern age is a much more powerful pre-
ventive of international warfare than
the kinship Of kings, and commerce is
the only unwritten alliance that counts
for much as a peace factor
