an increase Of 1913. or &c per cent.
Among those whose bodies were Gre
mated were 1,474 women. The classi.
fication according to religious creeds
gives some interesting results. While
the majority Of persons cremated were
described as Lutherans. there was a
considerable body of Catholics. not
withstanding the prohibition issued by
Leo XIII. For some reason, in Ger.
many. as in France, cremation does
not seem to appeal to Free Thinkers.

one must pay for everything he gets.
II you wish me to use my magic power
to send you home again you must do
something for me first. Help me and
will help you.'
What must I do?" asked the girl.
Kill the wicked Witch of the
West" answered OF.
But l cannot!" exclaimed Dorothy,
greatly surprised.
You killed the Witch of the East
and you wear the silver shoes, which
bear a powerful charm. There IL now
but one Wicked Witch left in all this
land, and when you can tell me she is
dead l will send you back to Kansas
but not before"
The little girl began to weep. she
was SO much disappointed; and the
eyes winked again and looked upon
her anxiously, as II the Great Or felt
that she could help him If she would.
Il never killed anything willingly"
she sobbed; land even II 1 wanted to,
how could kill the Wicked Witch?
II you. who are Great and Terrible.
cannot kill her yourself, how do you
expect me to do IT."
Il do not know" said the head; but
that is my answer. and until the
Wicked Witch dies you will not see
your uncle and aunt again. Remember
that the witch is wicked-tremendous
ly wicked-and ought to be killed.
Now 60. and do not ask to see me
again until you have done your task. "
Sorrowfully Dorothy left the throne
room and went back where the Lion
and the Scarecrow and the Tin Wood
man were waiting to hear what o.
had said to her.
There is no hope for me-" she said,
sadly. for Or will not send me home
until l have killed the Wicked Witch
of the West; and that can never do"
Her friends were sorry, but could
do nothing to help her; SO she went
to her own room and lay down on the
bed and cried herself to sleep.

The scarecrow went sorrowfully
back to his friends and told them

surprised to find that the great Wizard
was not . head. as she had seen him.
but q lovely lady.
"All the same." said the Scarecrow.
'she needs a heart as much as the
Tin Woodman."
On the next morning the soldier
with the green whiskers came to the
Tin Woodman and said:
''Oz has sent for you. Follow me-
SO the Tin Woodman followed him
and came to the great throne room.
He did not know whether he would
hnd Oz lovely lady or a head, but he
hoped It would be the lovely lady.
For" he said to himself, IF 1t is the
head. l am sure l shall not be given
a heart, since head has no heart OF
its own and therefore cannot feel for
me. But II 1t Is the lovely lady
shall beg hard for heart. for all la.

hearted"
But when the Woodman entered the
head nor the lady. for Or had taken
the shape Of most terrible beast. 1t
was nearly as big as an elephant. and
the green throne seemed hardly strong
enough to hold its weight. The beast
had a head like that of q rhinoceros,
only there were five eyes in its face.
There were five long arms growing
out Of its body and 1t also had five
long, slim legs. Thick. woolly hair
covered every part of 1t. and more
dreadful looking monster could not be
imagined. It was fortunate the Tin
Woodman had no heart at that mo-
ment. for 1t would have beat loud and
fast from terror. But being only tin.
the Woodman was not at all afraid, a.
though he was much disappointed.

ASSASSINATION
OF PRINCE ITO

0Ua0ERGo ~ KOREAN
At AAROlN.
nEA6eR NEWS As YET
WENT TO aaAMchURlA TO MEET
aUssiAM MINISTER OF
FINANCE.

Toa1o.-Nevs has been received
here that Prince Ito. the famous JAP
anese statesman. has been assassinat
ed BY . Korean at Harbin.
The fateful news was received .,
Toxic this (Tuesday) afternoon.
The dispatch contained only the
brief announcement that Prince Ito
had been assassinated. It has caused
great grief and CONSERVATION.
Prince Hirobuni Ito was perhaps
the greatest statesman of new Japan
The achievement with which his name
has been chiefly associated in the
minds Of occidentals was the framing
Of the imperial constitution by virtue
of which Japan took her place for the
first time In the rank of modern civ.
ilized states.
A the Emperor's trusted adviser
and the medium through which the
state was placed on . constitutional
basis he must be regarded as one OF
the positive factors which have helped
to win for Japan her present standing
among the nations.
Prince Ito was sixty-eight years OF
age. It was in 1868 that he made his
celebrated pilgrimage to England. at
a time when 1t was against the law
of his country to go abroad and the
penalty for infringement was death.
Nevertheless. inspired by . patriotic
feeling and q desire to learn the se-
cret of occidental supremacy. he un.
dertook the trip which proved 10 ben
eficial to his country later on.
Prince Ito. who was president Of the
privy council of Japan, left Toxic Oc-
tober 16 for . tour Of Manchuria. He
was to have arrived at Hardin today
(Tuesday) where he was to have met
M. Kokovsoff, the Russian minister OF
finance.
The conference, 1t was said. was at
the behest of Japan and Russian and
foreign diplomats had attached great
Importance to 1t.
The subjects to be discussed were
not stated in the japanese overtures
and NJ. Kokovsoff, 1t was said. had
barred political questions. He said
that he was competent to discuss only
financial and technical subjects.
Prince Ito visited the United States
in 1870 a. . commissioner to investi-
gate the financial and banking sys.
TENS. On his return to Japan he was
appointed vice commissioner Of public
works. In 1880 he negotiated with Ii
Hung Chang ON the Korean question
and concluded the treaty which
formed the basis Of Japan's justifica.
ton for her war with China in 1894.
Later he negotiated q treaty Of peace
with China and at the close Of the
war was made a marquis.
After the Russo-Japanese war he
was resident general in Korea, In
which capacity he incurred the hatred
Of the Koreans.
Marquis Ito came prominently to
the front during the Chino-Japanese
war. He was the high admiral of the
Japanese navy and fought the mem.
orable battle Of September Z, 1894, de-
feating the entire Chinese fleet of
twelve vessels and saving all of his
own boats, with one exception. from
injury.

CHAPTER x,.-contIcusd,

She left Dorothy alone and went
back to the others. These she also
led to rooms. and each one Of them
found himself lodged in . very pleas
ant part of the palace. OF course this
politeness was wasted on the Scare
crow: for when he found himself alone
in his room he stood stupidity In one
spot, Just within the doorway. to wait
till morning. It would not rest him
to lie down, and he could not close his
eyes: SO he remained all night staring
at . little spider which was weaving
its web in q corner Of the room, Just
as II 1t were not one of the most won
derful rooms in the world. The Tin
Woodman lay down ON his bed from
force of habit. for he remembered
when he was made Of flesh; but not
being able to sleep he passed the night
moving his Joints up and down to
make sure they kept in good working
order. The Lion would have preferred
a bed Of dried leaves in the forest, and
did not like being shut up in room;
but he had too much sense to let this
worry him. SO he sprang upon the bed
and rolled himself up like a cat and
purred himself asleep in a minute.
The next morning, after breakfast,
the green maiden came to fetch Dor
Othy. and she dressed her in one of
the prettiest gowns--made Of green
brocaded satin. Dorothy put on a
green silk apron and tied a green rib
bon around Toto's neck, and they
started for the throne room Of the
Great Or.
First they came to a great hall in
which were many ladies and gentle
men OF the court, all dressed in rich
costumes. These people had nothing
to do but talk to each other, but they
always came to wait outside the
throne room every morning, although
they were never permitted to see Or.
Az Dorothy entered they looked at her
curiously, and one of them whispered:
Are you really going to look upon
the face of Oz the Terrible!"
'Of course" answered the Etrl. III
he will see me-"
"Oh, he will see you," said the sol.
dier, who had taken her message to
the Wizard. although he does not
like to have people ask to see him.
Indeed. at first he was angry, and said
should send you back where you
came from. Then he asked me what
you looked like. and when l men.
toned your silver shoes he was very
much interested. At last l told hin,
about the mark upon your forehead,
and he decided he would admit you to
his presence"
Just then a bell rang, and the green
girl said to Dorothy:
THAT Is the signal. You must 60
into the throne room alone"
She opened a little door and Doro
thy walked boldly through and found
herself in q wonderful place. 1t was
. big, round room with q high arched
roof, and the walls and ceiling and
floor were covered with large emer
AIDS set closely together. In the cen
ter Of the roof was a great light, as
bright as the sun. which made the en-
eralds sparkle in q wonderful manner
But what interested Dorothy most
was the big throne of green marble
