A terrible rebuke 10 Judge Loving,
the Virginia "brainstorm, 'unWrit-
ten law" murderer and the jury
which acquitted him, is 10 be ad-
ministered by the women Of Virginia
who are now raising by popular sub
ScriptiOn the money to put up a hand
some monument over the grave Of
young Estes so cruelty slain by Low
ing. In this way they testify their
belief that the boy was innocent Of
any wrong to the bOOze-fghting
daughter Of Loving. The state want
ed to show this at the trial, but the
court refused to admit the testimony.
The dispatch telling Of the mOnu-
ment movement says:
a we'll defined movement is on
foot among the women Of Nelson
county to erect a costly monument 70
the memory OF Theodore Estes, who
was recently shot and killed BY Judge
William G. Loving for alleged mis-
treatment Of his young daughter
Elizabeth. Judge Loving was acqUit-
ted after a trial which ranks among
the most sensational in the annals Of
criminOlOgy in Virginia. While this
movement originated among the lad
les OF Nelson it Is by no means con-
fined to them. 1t is learned today
that the women of the Adell section
OF the county have already raised a
considerable sum. Many hundreds Of
dollars will, it is said, be finally
raised.
The secret as to the Contemplated
visit of Miss Elizabeth Loving is at
last out. 1t is stated that the young
woman at nearly date is to visit
friends in Boston, Mass. Inquiry has
failed utterly to locate the people
whom she proposes to visit. This is
because the family do not desire that
her whereabouts shall be known on
account OF the nOtOriety to which she
was subjected at the recent trial of
her father"

Strenuous Actions Mildly Explained

old clergyman who lived in Maine
some years ago. At one time there
had been a fight among some men,
one of whom was seriously hurt A
trial took place, and the old minister
who had seen the ARRAY was sum-
moned as a witness.
What was Salson doing? was
the first question.
ooh, he was slashing around"
well, sir, just what do you mean
by that?"
why, he was knocking about him
here and there"
Now, sir, kindly tell us plain
~ what Salson did to this man.
why, he-he enticed him." said
the old minister slowly. He enticed
him with a crowbar. He used the
crowbar to persuade the man-to en-
tice him; and by series of pokes
and blows he succeeded in doing i, -

teers at Sunderland of model sea
range for artillery practice, says the
London Express A stage at one enc
of the hall is covered with silver SAND
to represent the sea, and by means OF
an endless belt driven by a small
electric motor model ships are made
to sail over the stage in a realistic
way. At the other end of the hall is
a battery consisting of two four-inch
guns. A miniature rife is attached tc
each gun in such a way that it fol
lows the aim. The rife is fired, and
the. effect is most realistic. If the shot
hits the sea" sand splashes up like
water, while if a ship is hit 1t sinks
out of sight. The range is being used
to the great improvement in the gun

I owe you many thanks for persuading
me to come out here, am only sorry
that I wasn't persuaded sooner, and
there Is still plenty OF good chances
for many more right at the present
time I hope that you will be able to
induce more to make start out to
this part of the country.
Now I must tell you what I have
accomplished since came out here
and it won't be three years till the LIST
of July. I shall shortly receive my
patent for my homestead, the home
stead cost me $1,000 In all, to-day it is
worth $4,000 per acre. but it is not for
SALE Then a year ago last May I
bought 800 acres at 300 per acre and
sold this fall for $4,000 per acre and
cleared profit of $4,000. How il
that for the Northwest? I now have
800 acres of land and all paid for, Is
head of horses, 80 head of cattle, %
pigs, 2 sheep and about $50 chickens
and other poultry, and all new ma
chinery and everything is paid for.
We also bought 8 lots in Calgary and

factory view of the planet Every
time tried to steal look at pretty
girl, or any other kind of scenery, that
single moment of inattention gave the
bicycle the chance it had been wait
ing for, and 1 went over the front o.
it and struck the ground on my head
or my back before l had time to real

didn't always go over the front way;
I had other ways, and practiced then
all; but no matter which way was
chosen for me there was always
skinned my leg and leaped up into
the air and came down on top of me-
Sometimes it's wires were so sprung
by this violent performance that II
had the collapsed look of an umbrella

in ribbons, from my knees down. ]

day. 1t was always a surprise to me
that l had SO much skin, and that ii
held out so well. There was always
plenty, and / soon came to understand
that the supply was going to remain
sufficient for all my needs 1t turned
out that 1 had nine skins, in layers
one on top of the other, like the leaves
of a book, and some of the doctors
said it was quite remarkable.
