reached the graveyard the fanatics
were waiting for them. In order to
reach the grave it was necessary fol-
three men to assist the father OF the
dead woman. These men were attack

relatives away, and for time resisted
all efforts to bury the body. The Grab
bites insisted that they could raise
the woman from the dead by faith and
prayer and laying on of hands.

A Sympathetic Instructor.

When a teacher Is selected care
should be taken to engage some one
that understands child nature as well
as music. If the youngster does not
like the teacher, the lesson hour is
certain to be a hateful time. While the
teacher is likely to understand his or
her business better than the parent, It
is worth while If any one In the fam
fly is musical to give the child a start
at home. The pupil can learn to read
music and be taught to distinguish be-
tween good and bad playing. While
simple compositions should be select
ed for the first year, these should be
Of good class. There is no need Of
interminable strumming Of exercises.
When the child begins to ''learn a
piece" he Is encouraged to think he is
making progress. So even from the
first one part Of the lesson might be
devoted to learning a few bars of some
simple but pretty air. Begin with the
works Of the good composers-lively
tunes simplifed to suit the require
ments Of the little player.

she broke down utterly and wept all
over the house.
1t ended in her packing away all her
sewing things. Then she took out her
writing materials and her notebooks
and clippings again and announced that
during certain hours she wanted to be
left absolutely alone. She began writ
ing for different papers and magazines
again. and the dressmakers began to
see her again also.
In a short time she regained her
health and spirits.
There's an instance Of misdirected
energy set right.
1t is simply no use TO struggle along
trying to do things you are not fitted
for, breaking your heart with your ef-
forts and running your health and ar
rlving at miserable results. There are
certain things you can do. Confne
yourself to those. If you need money.
you can probably earn it that way and
hire help TO perform the tasks for
which nature has not fitted you.

Dolly brought the piano accompani-
ment to a close with a bang. OF
course I never would have dared to
tell Mrs. Flat what I really did think,

would take up good deal of the time
that Dolly otherwise might devote to
drawing, for which she had a real gift,
but Mrs. Flat was not to ogbe discour-
aged.
"Oh, Dolly isn't neglecting her draw.

INDEPENDENCE AND WEEDS
Possession of One and Destruction Of

MAYOR MAKES THE SUGGESTION
Colonel DahInhan Wants Every Prop

ing Prosecuted After
First OF July,

Mayor Dahlman intends that on tho
Fourth OF July the people Of Omaha shall
not only celebrate their Independence, but
shall also celebrate the destruction of all
weeds In the city.
He has instructed Chief of Police Dona-
hue to detail a portion of his force to see
to It that the weeds are cut and ordered
him to arrest the owners or lessees or all
property on which weeds are found TO be
growing July 1 and take the offenders to
Jail In the patrol wagon. At the station
they will be tried instanter under the pro-
visions of an ordinance prohibiting the eX.
istence of weeds and. as the mayor says,
there will be no monkey work about 1t al
ALL"
THE people of Omaha might as well
know now as any time that l mean busi'
ness, and / will bring into play every
power at my command II necessary to get
the weeds out, exclaims the mayor. The
city has no money to be used in cutting
weeds and therefore cannot cut them, but
the city can do something else, and that Is
to arrest the offenders and prosecute ano
fine them. The patrol wagon will start on
its rounds. July l and every owner or lessee
Of property on which weeds are found to be
growing will be taken to the station, and
there will not be any simple filing of COM
plants and turning them loose again. They
will be prosecuted at once.
"A vacant lot opposite my home has been
allowed to grow up to weeds and 1t is an
eyesore in the neighborhood. where all the
lawns are kept up in shape. There are
plenty of other Instances like this and I
have decided that the weeds must come
down"

The mayor had a conference with Health
Commissioner connell and Street Commits

of campaign was then mapped out. The
street commissioner. with a detail of city
prisoners. started to cutting the weeds In

GERMAN CAR WINS THE PRIZE

ing on 1t.

The German PTotos car in the New
York-Paris race arrived at Chita on the
evening of June IA and thus won the prize
OF $1,000 offered to the car which should
reach that city first from Vladivostok,
says an automobile paper.
Chita, the first objective OF the New
York to Paris racers, is the capital of
Transbaikalia and is 1.42e miles from
Vladivostok on the line OF the Trans
Siberian railroad, and 65S miles from
Irkutsk. The crews of the competing cars
were eager to arrive there first by reason
of the offer Of a 81. 900 trophy by the Trans
Siberian Alaskan Railroad company. The
breaking of the chain Of the Thomas after
leaving Pogranitchnaya cost the Americau
car the lead in the race and five DAYS
delay. II has made up more than two days
of that time and has been gaining on the
German car steadily since leaving Hardin.
with the prospect of making up the lost
time.
