one Of today's gas victims, was brought
70 Washington last July from her home
IN Arlington. DR.. Vaughan, the sur
geon. is related 10 the Brent family, and
he had the woman taken TO the George
town University Hospital DR.. Vaughan
performed the operation himself, but the
cancer had made such Roadway
that she died shortly after the operation.
Boys Close Friends.
Russell Brent came to Washington a
few days refo~e Christmas 10 spend the
holidays with his cousin. Although
there was several years difference in
the ages OF the two boys, they We're
close friends. I.andon often went to
Arlington to visit his cousin, and the
older boy came to Washington at least
once a year.
Russell was a studiOUs young man
with excellent habits. and Landon look
co up to him as the ideal type of young
manhood. He often told his parents:
When / get older I want TO be like
Russell. Everybody likes him, and 1
90 as ne tells me"
The mother and father encouraged
this devotion. Thsy, too, admired the
boy, and realized that their scr was
well taken care Of when IN RuSSeIlS
company After the holidays Russell
did not come to Arlington, but Sc
cured a position as CLERK with a Penn
Eylvania avenue firm. The pay was
small, and he realized that il would be
difficult TO live on his salary in the
city.
Lived Together.
Mrs. Brent told him that Landon only
had a. small room. but if he was sat
iehed to make his home at her house
and sleep with Landon he was well
come TO stay. He accepted the Offer,
and the two cousins were very happy
together.
Last night there were several friends
at the house and LandOn and Russell
stayed in the parlOr until nearly 10
o'clock. Landon was the first 10 80
10 his room. Russell followed shortly,
saying that he believed he had the
grip: z,-,+ GO, ,.ttor +,,,,,,--,,, r
am going 10 stay home from work,
he reamrzed as he left the room.
When Mrs. Brent entered the room
this morning the door was closed and
the window was down Gas was flow
ing from a jet on the wall, which was
partly open.
The mother IS overcome with grief.
but through her tears she managed TO
tel her story TO a Times representative.
Afraid to Open Door.
THE odor of gas was so strong that
Il could be noticed in all parts OF the
house" she said, "and the only reason
my husband and myself did not smell
IL during the night was because our
door was closed. As soon as found
out that none of the jets were open on
the first tIoor ! began TO suspect that
something was wrong L was almost
afraid 70 open the door 20 my boy
room Then, when ] realized what had
happened, ] thought that the blow would
XIII me. IsaudOu was such q good boy
and had never given a minutes worry
in my life
IT seems as though trouble will
never stop coming 10 our family There
have been so many horrible things re-
Gently that I hardly know what TO eX-
pect next
Tomorrow morning the bodies Of the
TWO cousins viii ne taken TO Arlington
for interment- They viii be buried side
bV side in a little cemetery that has
been the family buTylng ground Tor
many years.
Coroner hewitt viewed the bodies and
gave a certificate of death by accidental

met with goods that are put up in as
honest and attractive style as those
that are shipped from that section.
The remedy lies in the hands Of the
growers. If they desire to have their
fruit recognized as equal to California
fruit they must make it so attractive
in style and honest and uniform in
quality that the buyer or the consumer
will not make invidiOus comparisons
when he sees it by the side of the Cal
ifornia product. Quality and flavor
will have weight in determining which
fruit to use, but if our home grown
fruits are put up in an honest manner
and undesirable varieties are kept off
from the market we can meet the COM
petition and hold our home markets.
This problem of handling and market
ing fruit is not one that can be solved
by individual effort alone. 1t requires
cooperation on the part of the various
fruit growers. One man may succeed
in establishing reputation for high
grade fruit, but at the best his reputa
ton would only be local, whereas if
large number of the leading fruit grow
erS would combine and organize and
have their fruit put up in uniform
style and in large quantities by expe-
rienced packers, so that their brand
would establish a first class reputation,
the demand for their fruit would equal
If not exceed that for the California
fruit. What we need to do is to organ
lie and do our grading, packing and
marketing in as businesslike manner
as the Californians.
Our growers must learn to utilize
their inferior grades at home and mar
ket nothing but the very best and In
uniform packages. By so doing they
will obtain more money than by plac-
ing the whole lot on the market. Ev-
cry grower should grow the best vari-
cites, put them up in nice, clean, uni
form packages and place them in the
hands Of dealers who understand their
business. Let every package contain
full weight. The most important mat
ter after the growing of the fruit is
the selection of the package in which
to send it to market. No fruit should
be sent in any but neat and attrac-
tive new package of the form and size

( If the Crimean war led to the intro
duction of the cigarette into England,
says the London Chronicle, another
war-the war of the crusades-may be
said to have introduced another article
which, from the strictly hygienic point
of view, writes a correspondent, is al
most as dangerous and quite as objec-
tionable The crusaders are said to
have brought home with them the boil
ster, and, according to DR.. Camille, their
wives, in ignorance of the only rational
way Of using the article. e., placed
lengthwise as a support for the back OF

Post Gard Frieze.

A pretty way to dispose of ones SOU
venir postal cards is to have a frieze Of
them in the sleeping room tackled just
beneath the molding. Good grouping
of the cards must be carried out, so
that as much continuity Of scene as
possible is secured. Where lake Or
river views are the subjects of the
cards they should be placed so that the
views seem to broaden out into each
other and not appear to be set into the
frieze like a patch. So with landscape
scenes and groups Of buildings, espe-
cially in castle or cathedral views. A
postal card frieze we'll arraigned is
very effective.

E0UTELL ON BRYAN.
Is His "Shall the People Ru1ee"
Simply ga Local Issue2"


Congressman Henry Sherman Bou-
tell of Chicago. commenting on Mr..
Bryan's speech in Iowa, says:
Mr.. Bryan's question, "Shall the peo-
pie ruler" implies that somewhere in
this country the people do not rule.
The only States where the people do
not rule are the States that are ex-
pected to give overwhelming majorities
for the Democratic ticket Perhaps
Mr.. Bryan thinks that his question is
purely "a local issue" If he is sim
cere, challenge him to make a speech
In Vicksburg, Miss. on Government
by the People" Let him repeat one OF
his famous anti-imperialist speeches,
simply changing three words, substitute
ing mississippi for philippines" and
'fblack brothers" for brown brothers"
Let him suggest that we have as chair
man Of his meeting John Sharp Will
gress, and as vice-chairmen the other
members Of the Congressional delega-
ton from Mississippi.
And after he has made his speech
In Vicksburg if he shall have escaped
the rule Of the people in that COM
munity, 1 dare Mr.. Bryan to repeat
his grafton on popular government In
Charleston, S. c., with Senator Till
man as chairman of his meeting. MIR.
Bryan's sentiments have a purely geo
graphical sincerity. His epigrams and
startling conundrums are especially de-
signed to meet local demands OF this
nature are all his views on tariff and
taxation.
Mr.. Bryan's proposition that every
time a trust is formed a tariff sched
ule should be repealed, and every time
trust is dissolved a new duty should
be added, is too funny even for comic
opera.
If. on March next Mr.. Bryan should
become President, with a Democratic
Congress in both houses, and should
actually place upon the statute books
the financial and economic vagaries de-
livered by him in his speech of last
Friday, it would plunge the nation into
bankruptcy and bring on industrial
chaos. If he should begin by repeating
the duty on sugar to punish the sugar
trust, he would upset the national
finances by losing $6O,00O,00O a year
In revenues, and would stir up a revO-
luton in Louisiana, Utah, Colorado
and Michigan. Then, if he should re-
peal the duty on cotton goods, because
some hustling manufacturers of New
England or the Carolinas were dump
ing goods in China in rivalry with Eng
land and Germany, he would divert
other millions from the treasury and
invite still further industrial ruin.
But, Of course, Mr.. Bryan would do
none of these things. any more than
he will invade the solid South and sum-
mon the cohorts Of Democracy to the
defence OF the Constitution with the
battle cry "Shall the People Ruler"
Mr.. Bryan simply does not mean what
he says. What he utters with Chad
bandian JUNCTION in the North he repudi-
ates with Pecksniffian duplicity in the
South
