Supposed Victim May be Living.

Denver.-That Robert Mcdowell,
for whose murder in 1904 John Aus
mus and lara Moon are now serving
life sentences in the Colorado peniten-
tlary, is alive and well, is the startling
testimony which Ralph Talbot, attor.
ney for the two men, says he has Sc
cured, and upon which he hopes to Sc
cure the release Of his two clients.
Talbot has in his possession an af.
fidavit made by Car Kash of Deer

the effect that he saw Mcdowell at
Dale creek, near Fort Russell, Wyom.

The affidavit was taken Monday and

september, 1903, when he stayed over

weeks after this he says he again me-

Berlin.-The Bavarian forest, the
mountainous wooded region OF eastern
Germany between the Danube and the
Bohemian frontier and extending from
Cham and Furth on the north to below
Passau on the south. is even to the
German a good deal of an unknown
country. 1t is a spur Of the great Bo-
hemfan forest. and much Of the tract
OF some i.Sc1 square miles. covered
with pine and beech, is still in a primi-
tive and neglected condition.
In spite of the magnificent views to
be enjoyed from the submits Of the

The mode OF life of these people

she had seen nothing lovelier in any
art exposition in Europe. that nothing
was done nowadays like It; It was

when told the truth that 1t had been

Japanese fan has proved a formidable
rival to the artistic French fan. 1t is
pretty and dainty. but its price damns
1t with faint praise. What lady arrayed
in q $1,000 costume could fan herself

Boston Herald. But the majority of
women eschew fans. They are only

the Black Forest peasant puts up near
his home elaborately carved wooden
crosses exhibiting the crucifixion, the
peasant Of the Bavarian forest places
along the road as memorials to his
dead the boards upon which they were
laid in death. The origin of the GUS
tom seems to be unknown; 1t is lost
In the years as is the source of their
many myths and legends.
Some say that 1t came from an an.
cient custom OF the knightly dwellers
in the castles of the neighborhood of
erecting a memorial to faithful retain
ers who died in battle. Others say
that originally the memorials were in
the form of crosses and that these
deeply religious people believed that
they could better teach the lesson Of the
uncertainty of life and the need OF cor
rect living by Substituting these boards
and thus constantly place in sight of
the passerby something closely as
sociated with death.
But whatever may be the origin, it
is the custom Of the peasant to take
the board upon which the body of the
deceased was placed soon after death
and upon which 1t lay in state until
encoffined just before burial and to
raise 1t as a memorial to the dead.
The board is fashioned generally into
the shape Of gravestone. The name
and age with the date of death are
painted with such skill as the peasant
can display. In addition, there IL oft
on given with considerable elaboration
the painters idea of the saint in
whom the deceased trusted and rome
verses, written frequently in the dia.
lect Of the country.
These boards are not placed over
the grave. but are stuck up alongside
the road, at the edge of a field or
meadow, near chapels and cruci1ixes
They are nailed to houses and barns
or strung along in lines of 20 or 80 in
the village streets.
In the poorer districts, where the
peasants have not the money to pay
for painting or carving, the boards
with inscriptions In charcoal are placed
against crossroad calvaries. Here they
accumulate in great piles, and lie un
disturbed until they rot away. The
first layers in these moulding heaps
were often placed in position 100 years
or more ago.
The traveller In the more settled
parts Of the forest is scarcely evel
out Of sight of death board. while
the peasant himself has ever before
him the uncertainty Of life and an op
pOrtunity to draw a moral from thu
verses by these wayside monitors.

Primrose day. set apart by the ad-
mirers Of Disraeli, is still observed by
them in England. we believe. Ac-
cording to information contained in
Henry w. Lucy's recently published
parliamentary "reminiscences. there
10 no reason why its observance
should be continued under that name.
Its designation is based upon the as
sumption that the primrose was Lord
Beaconsneld's H. rorite flower. At his
funeral . wreath Of primroses lay on
his comm bearing the inscription:
His favorits flower" to which the
queens initials were added. 1t seems,
however, that when the queen wrote
the inscription she had in mind the
prince consort and his cherished
flower. Mr.. Lucy remarks that the
only remembered observation made by
Disraeli concerning primroses was
that they made an excellent salad.
