NAILS ARE HAMMERED
 INTO PRISONER FEET

ST. PETERSBURG, July 24.-The theft of three sacks of corn, magniied hy the prevailing famine conditions into crime of the first order, has led to a terrible outrage at Nepluevo, village Tn the province of Kursk.
 A peasant named Chalykh. known to have liberal tendencies, was charged with the robbery. He stoutly protest ed his innocence, but confession was eXtorted from him ny the most cruel torture. He was stretched on the ground and beaten almost helpless with heavy sticks, his mouth being stopped up with mud to prevent him from screaming. After awhile the mud was removed. and Chalykh, who was suffer ing awful agonies, was asked if he had stolen on his own behlf or for the so. ciaIists. He replied that he had stolen for himself.
 Nails were then hammered into his heels, and then he named his uncle, an. other liberal named Boskyh, as having been associated with him. Boskyh was promptly seized and within few min utes had been beaten into an almost helpless mass of flesh. Both Chalkyh and Boskyh died from their torture, and their bodies were exhibited to the pop, ulaee by the authorities, with the warn ing that the same fate awaited all revo lutionists

PATENTED PLANT PROTECTOR WHICH WILL ENABLE
 EARLIER PLANTING.
octogenarian at Yuma County Hospital May Have Done tho Cantaloupe Farm CTS Great Service-Refuses $25,000 for His Invention and Rights.

YUMA, July 24.-Cantaloupe plant. ing in the Yuma valley may be revolu. tionized by the invention of Charles Landon, almost an Octogenarian and an inmate of the Yuma county hospital. Although blind for fourteen years MT. Landon has invented and secured a patent on plant protector which will enable melon growers in this valley and elsewhere to plant their cantaloupes the last of January or the first of February.
 When this article is marketed. Mir. Landon, who is old, poor and blind, will have only the reward of consciousness of service. Despite his age and in. frmity he by no means has lost his love of the world and resolutely refuses an offer of S25,000 for his patent because he believes that by waiting until he can get capital to cooperate with him in building a factory his invention will earn for him vast fortune. Landon believes that through the use of his protector he can give the world canta- loupes and watermelons a month earlier than they are produced in any climate

INVISIBLE CASTLES

Floating high, Ter fancies wrought, Are many castles tall, Which we build on dreamy visions To watch them fade and fall From those realms on which We buiIde And trimmed with glowing rays, With our airy fairy fancies
 On the hope of better days. But as each flight of fancy
 Lifts thought of man up high, To dwell amid dream raptures
 And the rainbows of the sky, "ris then, he loses trouble
 And the ills brought on by man, As he climbs romance's ladder To those realms where fairies plan. But, this day and age of romance Is crushed by reason cold, And the money lust of mankind Sells his sweeter gift for gold Gold which builds q mansion To envy fill some eye, Which has lost the art of building Dream castles in the sky. Dream castles built on romance Sits on each hill of hope, And the laugh of dancing fairies Heals the bruise of troubles yoke. 1t numbs the sting of avarice, Of bitterness and strife, When you build romantic castles With the sweets you find in life.
