LEFT HIS RIG
After Shooting at the Girl Who Re-
fused TO Go Driving With Him.

Millersburg, O.--Lester Thiel, aged
IS. of Berlin, who became desperately
in love with Miss Iva Hochstetler, an
Amich girl of about the same age, liv.
ing near Benton, and insisted in fore.
ing his attentions on her, drove to her
place and insisted on her going driv.
ing with him, threatening II she re-
fused he would end all by killing her
and himself. She refused and he jerk
ed out revolver and fired at her, the
shot striking her on the hand. She
grabbed and held the weapon until she
saw a chance to escape, then ran
screaming into the house, closely pur'
sued by Thiel, who fired three more
useless shots. He, believing he had
killed her, decamped, leaving his rig
Shortly after shot was heard in a
woods near by, but a search has failed
in finding his body.

often pownsd. seldom ou,.

There is no other country in the
world in which the words business
failure" mean SO little as in America.
In the older and more cautious nations
OF Europe, where all business is along
more conservative lines, the man who
falls is usually down and out" He
either blows out his brains or takes
TO drink and makes himself a bore to
his friends telling about the days of
his prosperity. Europe is full of
Shabby genteep persons who have
seen better days and who have not the
faintest idea of going to work to make
those days come back again. Such a
miserable exhibition of cowardice does
not appeal to the American. All the
American business man asks is good
health and a fair field, and he will
consider failure a mere incident that
gives one valuable experience to be
utilized in the failure. The man who
is bowled over to-day is up and on his
feet and in the center of the strug-
Cling throng tomorrow.

HAS HIS TOMB READY ron HIM.
Phlneas @. Wright, Eccentric 6ache-
lor, Calmly Waits for End.

Now that he has the whiskers on his
monument brushed straight, his tomb
wen stocked with whisky and cigars
and a proper inscription craven on the
granite, Phineas Gardner Wright, Put
MANS richest and oldest bachelor, says
he can contemplate the end with calm
ness and satisfaction.
Mr.. Wright is 79 years old and worth
something over 100000, according to
a Waterbury (Conn.) dispatch to the
New York World. This sum, he
says, he has accumulated by strict at
tention to details. not trying to know
too much and consistently suspecting
all women. Following out the program
which has made him successful, Mr..
Wright has superintended the erec-
ton of his own monument, and he has
inscribed thereon: Going, but know
not where" Under this the more def
mite information: Never beat by
man, but by woman"
The Wright monument is the show
place of the Putnam cemetery. 1t is
a solid granite block bearing on its
top a bust of the man who is to lie
under II. The bust is faithful like
ness, even to the stone whiskers now
trimmed in goatee fashion. The sculp-
tor who did the work was an irrespon-
sible person with effeminate ideas He
parted Mr.. Wright's whiskers at the
middle in his original work. This
made Mr.. Wright angry, and he paid
another sculptor 5000 to brush out the
stone whiskers straight. This work
brought the price up to $780,
but Mr.. Wright didn't care.
In the tomb near by Mr.. Wright has
placed ample supplies of whisky and
cigars.

II want them to have a little some

gagged the Putnam Silver Cornet band
to play at his funeral.
Mr. Wright's going, but know not
where" has stirred up lot Of trouble,
particularly among theologians, some
of whom have written him abusive
letters. He is still hale and hearty.

the reply. Notice how It is jammed

especially Londoners, put on their hats
for keeps. No chance is taken of be-

an Italian always impresses me as

events, he likes to avoid wearing It

The opinion of men best qualified TO

confusion resulting from complex and
unwise state enactments concerning
interstate business, and that many OF

Il is the belief of many Of the lead.
ing business men Of the country that
the most important action that can be
taken to relieve the present wide.

the enactment by congress of a fed

II is surprising that the wise and
timely recommendation of President
Roosevelt on this subject in his mes
sage to congress of April 9th ult has
not been more generally noticed and
approved by the press of the country.
His central and conspicuous posi-
tion in national affairs, where light

tons all the more valuable.
While no specific bill is offered
either to provide for Federal insorpor-
ations or for amendments to the Sher-

stagnated business enterprises with
the vast army of unemployed demands
some action that will bring relief.

MISS Geraldine Farrar honored
with her presence a Lenten luncheon
OF debutantes IN New York.
Miss Farrar told the debutantes that
there was happiness In work. She
urged work upon all of them. Work,
she said, would preserve them from
degeneration into such type as Mrs.
Rose Of Melrose.
MRS. Roses type is too familiar"
she said. ITO show you the sort
she is:
"Mr. Rose came home from busi-
ness. Mrs. Rose lay on couch. He
sat down by her side and said:

BEECH TREES AND LIGHTNING.
Wrong Belief as to safety during Q
Thunderstorm.

A widespread belief is that during
a thunderstorm safety may be found
under beech tree, and that the dan
ger from lightning is 10 times as
great under a resinous tree and 80
times as great under an oak. DR.. A.
w. Borthwick, the British naturalist,
finds this view to be entirely without
foundation, The beech is not avoided
by lightning, which selects one species
as readily as another, but the taller
trees in the neighborhood appear to
be the ones liable to be struck. The
effects OF lightning also are common
ly misunderstood. The cells OF tree
are not ruptured or torn by the for
nation of steam, as so often stated,
but they collapse, or shrink up, with
out tearing. The roots seem to es-
cape damage.

No Doubt That Sweet Sounds Have
Good Effect on Nerves.

In the Berlin charity hospital, on
svery Sunday, in the afternoon, con-
serts are given for the benefit of the
patients. The good effects Of the
music are said to be extraordinary.
rhe British Medical Journal recalls
that = st. Cecilia guild was founded
In London some 10 years ago on the
initiative Of the late Rev. Frederick
XIII Hartford, then a minor canon Of
Westminster. The movement was
supported by some prominent persons,
among whom was Sir Andrew Clark,
and It's efforts In few hospitals and
workhouse inflrmaries were watched
with certain amount OF languid in
terest by a few members OF the med
lcal profession. But the enterprise
came to nothing. Our medical con-
temporary thinks It pity that the
st. Cecilia guild was allowed to die,
and says It might be worth while ap-
plying the experimental method to the
determination Of the effects of music
on the circulation and on the nervous
system, and thus indirectly on other
functions Of the body, in a more seri-
Gus and systematic way than has yet
been done.

diamond EARRINGS for POODLE.

One of the. best known professional
beauties OF Paris succeeded In creating
sensation in the Boulevard Hauss-

other day. This was not due TO the
fact that the latteI's collar was or
namented with score of golden coins,
nor to the fur coat with a pocket from
which small lace handkerchief was
visible, nor to the india-rubber shoes
the dog wore, but to two pairs of dia-
mond earrings that glittered, one at
the top and The other at the end of
the poodles ears.-Chicago Tribune.

Not AM Hawke chicken rhIeve,.

The hawks have as bad reputation
as the crows. and all hawks are called
"hen-hawks" by those who are ig-
norant of what they do live on, but
the majority OF the hawks do not live
on poultry, by any means. A great
many of them live on insects, and
mice form large item in their bill OF
fare.
The sparrow hawk is the one that Is
TO blame for the hard name given to
his brethren, and It is he who kills
the chickens and hens. When hard
pressed for food other hawks rarely
may carry away a hen or chicken,
but this is the extreme rather than
the average case.
