that he shared with the president a
feeling of deep anxiety as to the out

remarked on the fact of great shortage

in that outer room that the president
and his closest advisers were living
awake nights and work ing to make up
for the deficiencies of the military stu

When the president returned he and
Senator Hanua resumed their anxious
consultation. Then the presidents sec

him:

habits early in life. Other members
of the high school faculty will speak

was used in asking questions con
corning different phases of school life
In this. the members revealed that
they have gathered a great many prac-
teal and valuable ideas on the pur-
poses Of school organization.
The Garfield pupils are interested
in the rumored exchange of Garfield
and the high school. The advantages
to be gained by this change is the ad-
dition of a manual training department
for the high school and domestic sci
ence for both schools. The increas-
ed facilities in all departments are
being anticipated with pleasure.

mented the schools on having such an
excellent play ground

Young Woman, Murderously
Assaulted, Writes in En-
dearing Terms to Lover.
MAY NOT SURVIVE ORDEAL.
WHILE ON THE WITNESS STAND
AND UNDER AWFUL STRAIN,
THE OLD WOUND IN THE GIRLS
THROAT RE-OPENED.

Anderson, Ind, Jan. 25.-Although
on the witness stand two days with
testimony against Shirley Doyle, her
former lover, who is accused of hav-
ing cut her throat and then attempt
ed suicide, Miss LYDIA Scott may not
live to hear the verdict of the jury.
Racked in mind by humiliation in
court, and crushed yesterday when a
score or more of her love letters were
read in open court. before nearly a
thousand people, and her wounded
throat strained by talking on the wit
ness stand until she suffered a hem
orrhage of the throat. the twenty-five
year-old girl was a wreck last night
while Identifying the letters.
Miss Scott seemed to choke, but she
was hard pressed for her testimony
until suddenly blood appeared on her
lip She caught il with her handker-
chief before many spectators diacov-
cred it. Judge Mcclure noticed it
and excused the witness,
Old Wound Reopened.
For an hour afterward in the judges
private office blood came from the
girls throat by the reopening OF the
old wound inflicted by a razor three
years ago. Miss Scott was put in the
care OF a physician and she was not
permitted to go on the stand again TO
talk today. Her trying ordeal came
when the defense proceeded to lead
letters that she admitted writing to
Doyle.
Among these We're many written
after he was returned to prison for
violating a prison parole He Is al
legged to have murderously assaulted
the young woman. Mingled with en-
dearing words indicating she had not
lost her love for him Were citations
Of various passages Of Scripture. and
she implored Doyle to read and think
of the eleventh and twelfth chapters
of Acts. To famiiarize the jury with
the passages she referred to Attorney
Bagot to read the chapters. The court
proceedings seemed for a while like a
church service
DoyIe's Testimony.
Doyle was put on the stand later in
the afternoon. He told of first meet
ing Miss Scott at Martin Doyle's
home in October preceding the tragic
Sunday. March 10. 1905, when the
double throat cutting took place. He
testified that Miss Scott was Jealous
of him, thouoht he was going to see
another Cir on that Sunday, and
while out buggy riding and after a
81 s,h, &, ,:.l
and cut him twice on the neck.
A few minutes later, and while in
the buggy, Doyle testified that Miss
Scott cut her own throat, and later
told him she wanted to die.
People fought to get into the court
room. Many women wept when they
saw Miss Scott falter and also heard
the lawyers mercilessly expose her
letters. The case will probably get
TO the jury by this afternoon.

 Right into the camp of the English and their allies rushed the frightened porkers, throwing down tents. scatter ing small arms and creating the widest disorder.

 Taking advantage of the confusion, immediately after the pigs followed Francois and his soldiers. hewing a way directly through the camp of the enemy. Relentlessly they pushed on, up to the very gates of Aury. where they and the pigs were welcomed with greatest joy.

 Do you think you can provide us with 500 pigs immediately? will pay you well for them"
 The peasant stared. and then promised to do his best for the officer.
 Not more than few hours had passed before droves of pigs began to pour into the camp. Francois rubbed his hands together gleefully.
 Tonight is Halloween-just the right time to give the enemy a scare.'
 When nightfall had long since de- scended upon the camp. Francois or dered that each of five soldiers should pull the ears of sturdy hog. The poor animals squealed and grunted piteously.

 The more Geordie thought of these little kindnesses the gobhns could do the more he became convinced that they wouldn't do them: for hadn't Nursie told him goblins were good for nothing but foolish pranks? Now if he were only some sort of a hobgoblin. he'd be only too glad to do everything he could for people without a moments hesita- ton.
 Perhaps he could do something right now. He decided to try anyway So upstairs Geordie tramped. Presently he returned with his fathers silk hat a pair of trousers and slippers. together

 Wasn't there something else he could do? An, yes! Uncle Frederick should have a new head of hair and a hand as well. To the bald scalp he pasted long black wisps taken from a brush he found in the closet; and black paint en- abled him to make the hair nice and thick. Afterward 1t was an easy matter to tack a glove to the canvas in the place where the hand should have been.

And here they had done her really great servicel Tears stood in her eyes as she Inspected the gifts made her, and ever afterward no member of the Bloody Robbers passed by without receiving . cordial greeting from her.

Meantime he was cudgeling his brains for some plan whereby he could effect a rescue. With the small force at his command it was clearly impossible to make a direct attack, and since the enemy were already aware of his ap- proach, there was little hope of sur prising them. Mounting his horse and accompanied only by an orderly, he rode about the camp. As he neared the line he heard a sentry challenge a peasant. tryman ask permission to sell a fat porker which he had with him. All at once an Idea came to Francois. Putting

Thoroughly satisfied with himself and his work. Geordie now summoned the rest of the family. bidding them come and see what the Halloween gooiins had done.
 The family came. And truly they were astonished at the kindness of the gob- lins. Indeed. they were more astonished than pleased.

After this he hung the long gloves to the poor figure. Arranging the clothing very carefully he stepped back to note the effect.

Laborers and men employed about the railroad were tempted, too.
 Billy and Ike were gratifed to see. late In the afternoon of the following day. that a great heap of coal now lay. underneath the saucepan. Truly, the target had drawn many shots.
 Jubiiant over the success of their plan, they decided to help Mother Jones still more. As was customary on this day, vegetables disappeared in considera ble quantities from the farms in the outly- ing country. But this night. instead of serving the usual purpose of ammuni- ton for battering against doors and windowpanes. the choicest of the vege- tables were slowed away in an old bas- ket and placed upon Mother Jones' door step.
