the public, after which time they consider

Shensda yesterday. who has been an In
mate of the Omaha hospital for over n
month. as a suspect in the attempted rob-
berry of William RoEiwecki's saloon on the

straight down to have been shot by a man
standing on the street. This fact came to
the notice OF Detective Shields and he re-
membered the shooting by Rozlweckl. Yes

fessed that he had attempted TO break into

Personal courage invests it's owner
with a protection beyond that afford
ed by outside forces. An illustration
of this is recorded by Gen. William
F. Draper in his "Recollections of !
Varied Career" where he gives thin
incident:
In 1864 Col. Daniels of the Seventh
Rhode Island became unpopular with
some of his command, and rumos
spread that he would be shot at 1.-The
next engagement He heard OF It.
1t was customary when guns had
been loaded for some time to have
them discharged into some convenient
bank. and Col. Daniels took advan
tage of this. Marching his regiment
out with loaded rifles, he faced them
toward a suitable elevation, and tax
ing position on the top of it, and
in front of them as at dress parade
he gave the commands, Ready. AIM

Needless to say, any man coult
have shot him with little danger Of
discovery, and needless to say. lalsQ,
none of them did. There were no

Americas sweet corn as been trad

Horace G. Knowles, ex-American min
lister to Rumania, who Is soon to start

When Mr.. Knowles found the mel.

He obtained a quantity of the seed
and transmitted it to the department

been cultivated with success at the

those regions where huge American
melons are grown
Having gained this desirable deli.
cacy from Rumania, Mr.. Knowles was
anxious to repay the gift. He noticed
that the people were utter strangers

Europe 10 Drying Up.

That much of Europe will become
an arid desert in q few centuries un.
less steps are taken to prevent it,
was the prophecy made year or
two ago by a distinguished French
scientific man. 1t is we'll known in a
vague way that some parts Of the
earth are drier that formerly, but oh.
servations are lacking to show wheth.
er this has been result Of merely
local conditions or is a locally ad.
vanced stage Of . process going on
over q wide area. Herr Walser, q
German, has been lately trying to get
a more accurate idea of the desicca-
ton from the records of bodies of
water. He finds that hundreds of
European lakes have entirely disap.
peared and in the canton of Zurich
alone the 149 lakes of 1860 have be.
come reduced to 76, while about half
Of these have been diminished in size.
German and Russian lakes also, az
we'll as those of western Asia, give
evidences of drying up Of the land.

Hyron's Bride Of Abydos.

It is just 100 years ago that Lord
Byron arrived in Greece, where he
wrote that beautiful poem, 1.-THE Bride
of Abydos," and that exquisite song,
the Maid Of Athens" which. says a
Paris contemporary, every English
man Of culture knows by heart.
Documents enable us to establish
the true identity Of the heroine of
this last poem. She was one of the
three daughters of Mr.. Black, English
vice-consul at Athens, at whose house
Byron for some time lived. After the
departure of the poet, Theresa Black
married an archaeologist, M. Pittakis,
whose widow she became several
years later. Her beauty, her charm,
her elegance, conquered every heart,
including Byron's. In 1873 the heroine
of the poem was an old woman Of
upright figure and still showing signs
of her former beauty. With age had
come poverty. The Times, moved by
her distress, opened at this epoch a
subscription in her favor. She died
in 1875.

PARADISE FOR sUFFRAGtsTs
Where Fsminlsm 10 In
Full Swing.

A French explorer just returned
from Africa has addressed an open
letter to Mile. Laloe and to the woman
doctor Nine. Pelletier, the great advo-
Gates Of woman's rights advising them
to leave at once for the Sahara, or
rather to that district inhabited by the
tribe called Tuaregs.
The Tuaregs, says the explorer, are
crafty, cruel and treacherous, but they
are ardent apostles of feminism. The
Tuareg women are indeed privileges
beings. They have cauaels OF thei:
own, which their husbands are not al
lowed to mount, and their household
duties are, SO to say, nil.
They are allowed to have an at
mirer who saddles their camels an1
runs errands for them. According to
the Gentlewoman, the attitude of thin
admirer must remain strictly platonic
for If he starts making love to the
lady the husband flies into temper
and an angry Tuareg becomes q dan
gerous creature.
According to the laws Of the couh
try the Tuareg woman need not for
low her husband unless she wants t.
do so, nor is she compelled to serve
her spouse. She is educated, for she
can read, and this accomplishment
not shared by the other six, gives her
a privileged position in so far that she
acts as judge or arbitrator in all diff
cult cases.

galleries two canvases for his collec-

the companion piece to a painting in
the Frankfort museum, representing
Herr Urmiller and son. Until four or
five years ago the Frankfort work was
always attributed to and admired as a

ever, has attributed the painting to
some unknown but extraordinary mas
ter who painted in the neighborhood
OF Augsburg in the first half of the
sixteenth century.
Licinio, whose work consists prin-
cipally of portraits and family groups,
worked during the greater part of his

Women in Postal Service.

The distinction of first appointing a
woman postmaster does not belong to
America, nor is the employment Of
women in the postal service a new
idea. AS early as 1913 woman post
master was appointed to look after
the mails of Braine lie Comte, an i'm
portant town of France. In the try
ing times of the Thirty Years War
the principal office in the postal serv-
ice Of Europe was held by a woman,
Alexandrine de Rue. From 1923 to
1916 she was in charge Of the mails
Of the German empire, the Neither
lands, Burgundy and Lorraine. She
was known as a master general of
the mails. In America, Elizabeth
Harvey was the first to hold a place
in the postal department. She had
charge of the letters in Portsmouth,
N. H., in the beginning Of the seven
teenth century. A half century after
ward Lydia Hill was placed in charge
Of the post office in Salem, Mass.

foreman Of dredging at the Pacific en-.
trance to the canal for 20 years. He
had gone to the isthmus under the old
French company and had remained on
the job ever since. A short time ago
he was badly crushed in one of the
dredges and lay in critical condition
in the Ancon hospital. One of the
engineers went to see him.
How many yards?" said the in
jured man feebly, referring to the
dredging record for the month. When
told that they had taken out more
cubic yards than in any previous
month he smiled and whispered:

dredge and he gloried in the fact that
it was the best on the job. A few
months before he met with the acct.

Roquebert and he had watched devel.

k0ToMATIc LAW ENFoRcER
A. Ingenious Apparatus for the Mo-
torist Who Desires
Safety.

Vice.Consul H. M. Byington, at Bris-
toll, reports as follows concerning a
new British apparatus which controls
the speed Of motor cars:
According to the published descrip-
ton of practical trial, the device
automatically removes The clutch
when the speed Of the car slightly
exceeds the arranged limit and when
necessary the brake is also automatic
ally applied until the rate is reduced
just below the limit. The brake is
then quickly but gently removed and
the clutch again put in. A semaphore
is automatically raised to warn the
driver when he Is approaching the
maximum. The mechanism, which
fits in a compact aluminium box and
works in oil, takes very little space.
1t is put in action or our of gear in
an instant, and there is no need to
stop or slow down the car while this
is being done. The apparatus can
be locked up so that the driver Of q
car cannot exceed the speed desired
BY the owner.
Every effort was made on the trial
to get the car to exceed the limit,
which was set for Is miles an hour
On coming to fairly steep hill the
engine was allowed full power and
the car instantly started to gain
speed. But as soon as the limit was
reached the brakes were applied
strenuously, a. II BY magic Though
NO sudden jar was experienced), and
the engine merely raced without the
slightest effect on the car, the speed
being maintained 1t the 16-mile rate
throughout"

dening," the bulletin stated. "They
serve to keep the yard clean, to add
to the revenue of the family, and to
furnish fresh crisp vegetables for the
family table. The increase in such
gardens was especially notable in the
Eighth ward. Collections of cans and
rubbish and staEnaat pools have
given place In the Last two years to
small, neat-looking gardens filled with
cabbage, onions. parsley. beets and
corn, and here and there fringe or
