DUKES END SAVED THRONE.

Plot to Form Regency Under Viadi-
mir Discovered in Russia.
A sensational story of a reactionary
plot to dethrone Emperor Nicholas and
proclaim a regency in Russia is being
related in ST. Petersburg in connection
with the recent death of Grand Duke
Vladimir, the emperor's Oldest uncle
The authority for the story is high
official Of st. Petersburg.
According to this individual the af
fair was uncovered in connection with
the revelations concerning the Azef
and Lupokine cases. While inyestigat-
ing the relations between Azef and the
reactionary organization (AZef is the
man who has been condemned to death
by the organization because of his al

partment of the government found in
dications that the organization desired
to substitute a strong handed reaction

but the official in question said to-day

GARNER George"

King George II, who reigned over
England for nearly sixty years, was
very good-natured man, and one
thing he liked to do was to walk e6crt
the country lanes and talk to people
who did not know who ne was.
Indeed, he loved the country life, so
much that he was called Farmer
George" One day, when 1t was har-
vest time, he was walking through
some fields, when he noticed that In
one Of them there was only a woman
at work.
The king stopped for little while
TO talk, asked the woman where the
other workers were. They have gone
to see the king" replied the woman.
And why didn't you go with themT
asked Farmer George" who saw that
the woman did not know him.
II would not give a pin to see him 7
exclaimed tie good woman. Besides,
she said, "the others will lose a days
work. and that is more than can
afford to do, as have FIVE little chill
dren to work for"
King George smiled, and then, tax
ing some money out Of his purse and
giving 1t to the woman, he said: well,
YOU may tell your friends who have
gone to see the king that the king
came to see your
Then jolly Farmer George" raised
his hat and walked away, while the
harvest woman could do nothing but
stare after him.

Dou,f Break Down.

There would not be so many WORN
out, fagged-looking women II we
learned early the value of that ounce
of prevention With most of us pre-
veLtion Is like thunder-it comes art
er the danger is past. So much OF the
misery OF life is preventable that II
is pitiful how rarely the effort Is
made. We lose our looks, break down
before our time, and eilser are snuf1ed
out altogether, or hang on creaklng
hinges when we should be in the ruiz
flush Of living Most women act as IL
they were fatalists-what must De,
must be. Then they groan when the
inevitable occurs instead of living up
to the true fatalist spirit OF stolclsm.
Perhaps you are one of the persons
who never takes any rest. You look
on life as race to be run, forgetting
that the strongest runner goes SLOW
until the finish. Have you the foolish
idea that to stop minute TO read the
papers or to dip into q famous book
Is stealing time that should be devoted
to husband or children? Are you char
liable to every one but yourself, and
look upon letting up in your mad pace
as Sinking
Are you one Of those misguided be-
ings who think monotonous plodding is
duty, and crush out Young longings for
an occasional matinee or social outing
lest you fall in some chimerical duty:
Ii so, readjust things Learn to look
on these things as that ounce of pre-
vention" without which smashups are
Inevitable. 1t is continual plodding
that not only makes life stale, but
brings wrinkles and narrow minds.
Do you ever stop to think what
breakdown means? How many of the
coveted pleasures or longed-for rests
could have been had for the doctors
hire? Occasional flight from the grind
is better than skilled specialists to
keep one well. which is the sensible
modern woman's reading of that
ounce of prevention"

There is rage now for cream
white suits, worn with hat and Access
series OF nut brown.
Mousseline voiles will be faddish
this season and viii be made into very
stylish evening robes.
Frocks may be buttoned down the
front as well as the back. Fashion
has suddenly become most liberal
minded in that respect
Bridal dresses have been chiefly re-
markabie during the last few months
for the marvellous laces with which
they have been trimmed
The black sash, with bow and ends
at the side, is worn even with the sep
arate waist and skirt, although pre-
ferably not with the pL in tailored
waist
Black velvet bonnets are hourishing
in the land; big and little, simple and
elaborate, but black velvet. There is
also a hint of the poke in spring mil
linery.
The full line of the neck is shown
and when the long neck is not natur-
al the collar is placed low upon the
bodice and fits well under the ears
and chin.
Color embroidery on white, black,
cream and ecru will be much used, as
well as white on color. Most of the
embroidery seen now in the shops is
machine made.
The separate waist and skirt has al
most disappeared from view. The one
piece princess dress is taking its place.
This princess style means curves and
a waist again.
The long, tight skirt is giving way,
for walking purposes, TO the short,
tight skirt, worn with long and
much-braided coat, the whole costume
being often trimmed at hem and
wrists with fur.
Employed more for evening than
day wear are the deep, rich shades.
The reason for this reversal of old
time custom is that these tints are so
successful in setting off a beautiful
neck and arms.

esq TREsPAssERs KILLED.
Railroad Points Out Figures as
Showing Need for New Laws.

Reports compiled at the general Of
fees of the Pennsylvania railroad show
that during the year 1907 So tres
passers were killed and 791 injured on
the lines of the Pennsylvania system
east and west of Pittsburg. In 1907
reports show SD trespassers killed
Thus during the past two years ON the
Pennsylvania system alone 1,479 per-
sons have lost their lives in this way
These figures are pointed to as en-
phasiZing the recommendation in the
recent annual reports of the State
naiiread Commissions of PENNSYLVANIA
and Inoiana that laws should be en-
acted providing substantial punishment
for all persons who trespass upon the
private rights of way of any steam or
electric railway.
The extent of the trespaSsing abuse
is to be found not only in the figures
showing the number of persons killed
or injured while trespassing, but also
in the fact that during the year 1908,
according to the figures just compiled,
2,9S9 persons were arrested for res
passing, 442 for vagrancy, and 10,457
for illegal train riding ON the lines of
the Pennsylvania system. During the
year 1907 the arrests for these causes
numbered 5,5SS

which you do not wish repeated. Be
