Gently written to several former acquaint-
ances. enclosing small sums of money in
some of the letters, requesting that they
make an effort to secure his pardon.
Nothing along that line has thus far
been attempted, Butler being repudiated
even by members of his own family. The
murder was one of the most cold blooded
that ever occurred in this county. Butler
and his wife had become estranged, but
still resided in the same house and she
preparN his meals for him, having dis
continued her divorce suit when she was
given a deed to the farm. Stealing up
behind her as she sat at the kitchen table
hulling strawberries, Butler felled her
with an axe, subsequently hacking the
body. He was caught two days later
by w. E. Kunz, Delafeld. At his trial
he pleaded insanity and after being de-
cIared sane in the circuit court he was
convicted of, murder in the first degree
and given a life sentence.

THE BLIND SWIM STRAIGHT.
Keep Course with Marvellous Directness,
Guided by Sound.

Just as some professional singers with
magnificent voices never learn to sing in
perfect tune. so do the trainers of really
fine swimmers often find it impossible
that men with every quality for racing
otherwise can be made or taught to
swim even in an approximately straight
line.
Many a splendid swimmer is beaten on
this account, for his inveterate habit of
getting off his course naturally gives him
a roundabout journey. But the remark
able fact remains that blind swimmers
of whom there are in this country a
considerable number in connection with
various institutions for persons so af-
ficted universally and without excep-
ton swim with marvellous directness; In
deed, in as perfectly straight a line as is
humanity possible, even when the dis
lance covered is very considerable.
So much is this the case that DR..
Campbell of the College for the Blind
at Upper Norwood, who particularly in
terests himself in the physical education
of the blind and has noticed this curious
fact, recommends that swimmers who
persistently foul each other on any
course should practice experimentally
when blindfOlded.
Blind swimmers can, it appears, on
hearing a noise in any given direction
not only swim absolutely straight to the
point whence the noise proceeds, but
when left to themselves their steering is
just as accurate.-Tit-Bits.

RUssIA's ANT1-KIssING LAW.
c0st an Actress Who Kissed Her Mother
in Street Car 81.

Russia is ruled by rigorous laws. The
irony and humor of some of them come
home to the foreign onlooker, while of
course the Russians feel only the whip
hand. The latest victim of an anti-kiss-
ing in public law is famous and all too
impetuous Russian actress, Mile. Ire
poff, who actually had the temerity to
kiss her mother in a tramcar.
One would have thought even mag
istrate or judge, or whoever admins
tiers cases of lawbreaking of that kind
in Russia, would be melted by the beau
tifuI picture Of the reunion of a mother
and daughter celebrated by a chaste
salute, but Russians understand no jokes,
says The Lady Pictorial; the fine Of
10 rubles (2Ss CD for kiss in public
conveyances, such as railways and tram
cars, was vigorously enforced.
A kiss in the street is penalized to the
extent of rubles (19s 10d), and a
declaration of love sent by postcard, if
anybody is brazen faced enough to do
such thiLg, is punished to the extent
Of rubles 14s 2d). One would like
10 know if insult is heaped on injury
and the fair recipient mulcted in dam
ages if the declaration is sent without
any address to identify the sender.

LONDON, Feb. 23.-'Two human let

being answered in the affirmative they

dispatched in the care of a telegraph
messenger. The servants at the pre-

cept delivery of this suffragist mail and
the police appeared and quickly cleared
the women out of Downing street.

You, Too, Can Help in This Great HUI

Experiments recently performed by a
number of famous doctors, led them to
believe that serum, prepared from the
James Ewing and DR.. s. P. Betz at the
Cornell Medical School, will cure that
dreaded aftiiction, cancer.
To continue these experiments, it is
necessary to have the serum that is ex-
tracted from animals, cattle, horses,
dogs, or any other animals afflicted with
cancer; but up to the present time, great
difficulty has been experienced in loca-
ting animals with cancerous growths.
