Realistic HActino."

In full We've of a fashionable assem-
bly, of playgoers a terrible tragedy
was enacted the other night on the
stage of the National theater at Sara
toff, Russia. In the third act Of the
play which was being given the hero
inc is shot by a rejected sutton and
dies in the arms of her sweetheart,
who arrives on the scene Don after
ward. On the night Of the tragedy,
to the establishment of the audience,
M. Tashnakof, who was acting the
villain, made no attempt to shoot the
girl, but put a bullet through the
heart of her lover, who was waiting
for his cue to appear, then shot the
girl and finally turned the revolver
against himself and fired. Several
women in the audience tainted and a
great many other spectators sus-
tanned injuries in the panic that en-
sued while endeavoring to force their
way out of the theater. The motive
Of the crime appears to have been
jealousy, the actors having really rep.
resented the parts they played.

Raraka Was Almost Up to Her Neck.

You have brought me here to die"
he said. Your father and your broth
ers have shut up the entrance with
great stones, and they will go up the
mountain and let themselves down
from above with ropes and shoot me
like a wolf in a pit-fall. But you shall
die first, because you have betrayed
me-"
So he cooked his revolver and set
the muzzle against her head, to kill
her, holding her by her slender throat
with his other hand; for they were in
shallow water and he had dropped the
sack in the pool.
Baraka did not struggle Or cry out.
Il would rather die by your hand
than be alive in another mans arms"
she said quite quietly.
He let her go, merely because she
was so very brave; for he did not love
her at all. She knew it, but that made
no difference to her, since no other
woman was near; if they could get
out alive with the rubies she was sure
that he would love her for the sake
of the great wealth she had brought
him. If they were to starve to death
at the bottom of the great rock wall
in the mountains, she would probably
die first, because he was so strong;
and then nothing would matter. 1t
was all very simple.

hands were bleeding, for though he
was a philosopher the thirst for wealth
had come upon him when he felt the
riches of empires in his grasp, and
the time was short; and although he
knew that he might some day come
back with armed men to protect him,
and workmen to help him, he know
also that to do this he must share the
secret with the overload of that wild
country, and that his portion might be
the loss of his head. So he tore at the
ruby crust with all his might, and as
he was very strong, he broke out
great pieces at once.
1--WE cannot carry more than that,
both of us together" said Baraka,
though she judged by the sound
of bis work than by what she could
see.
He lifted the sack with both his
hands, and he knew by it's weight
that she was right. Under the water
it would be easy enough to carry, but
it would be a heavy load for a man to
shoulder.
Come" Baraka said, Il will go back
first"
She moved down into the deeper
water again, till it was up to her
neck; and feeling the way with her
hands she went in once more under
the rock. The traveller followed her
cautiously, carrying the heavy sack

water Baraka said, just as before,
when they had been going in.
When she had spoken, she heard a
heavy splash not far off, and the wa
ter in the subterranean channel rose
suddenly and ran past her in short
waves, three of which covered her
mouth in quick succession and
reached to her eyes, and almost to the
top of her head, but sank again in
stantly; and they passed her com
panion in the same way, wetting his
weapon.
60 back" Baraka said, when she
could speak; 'the rock is falling"
The traveller turn as quickly as he
could, and she cam er him, gaining
on him because he carried the heavy
sack and could not move as fast as
she. He felt his damp hair rising
with fear, for he believed that. after
all, she had brought him into a trap.
They reached the opening and came
out into the pool again.

Historians Agree That II Was Made
Necessary by Building OF the
Chinese Wall.

To describe the war-like use OF the
wall properly, a military historian is
needed, who can set forth accurately
and technically all the strategy in
volved and the weapons employed. In
default of him, a lay view may help
the general reader.
The very conception Of a chain OF
thousands of strong blockhouses,
linked by a rampant, and stretching
over more than a thousand miles, be-
tokens q mind that can conceive great
measures. Vast were need
ed to execute the idea and to defend
the wall when once erected. A wall
would need an army Of workmen to
erect it, an army of soldiers to defend
It. The trowel might be laid aside In
4 few months. the sword must be ever
ready. A mere wall without men be-
hind 1t can not delay an invader for
q day. The wall OF China involved q
standing army, and historians say It
numbered $3.50. 900 men.

CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change of Food Instead OF
Drugs.

1t takes considerable courage for a
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for a ~despairing patient, instead
of resorting to the usual list of med
icines.
There are some truly scientific ply
sicians among the present generation
who recognize and treat conditions as
they are and should be treated regard
less of the value to their pockets.
Here's an instance:
"Four years ago I was taken with
severe gastrftis and nothing would
stay on my stomach, so that I was on
the verge of starvation.
II heard of a doctor who has a sum-
mer cottage near me-a specialist from
N. Y, and as a last hope. SEN for him.
after he examined me carefully he
advised me to try a small quantity Of
Grape-Nuts at first, then as my stom-

So I steadily recovered.

The First Standing Army

There are signs in the brickworA
that the towers we're designed and
finished first before any wall was
erected. The order was not. there
fore, wall first and then towers on it;
but towers, and then a curtain between
them. In China and In South Africa
there was a time when It was found
wise to erect rows of blockhouses
near enough together to command the
intervening space by rife fire. and nu-
merous enough to stretch for miles.
The line of Chinese defenses appar.
emily began in the same way; only. as
they had no missiles that could be
thrown far and swiftly, a solid line OF
wall became needful at an early
stage. We can imagine that each gar
rison would be charged to build 9 sec
ton OF wall on to meet the builders
from the next forts and thus the time
would not be idly spsRt In mere
watching.-W. E. Gel, III Harper's

RATES:

three years the city has rented offices
at an expense of 500 month and
this year the city entered into con-
tracts with Fred Sheehy to take the
o d material and use it as far as
possible in a new city hall to cost
about $4,000 with a basement and
vaults. The application said $4,000
had been transferred from the water
fund to the general fund out of which
the construction Of the new CITY hail
was to be paid. The court finds that
this $4,000 belonged to the general
fund from where it had been trans
ferred to the water fund in past years.

can be paid to this extent out of the
general fund as ordinary expenses.
