If kicking would help so>ue 1t would
the contrary. it hinders.
Then why do rational, sensible men
and women indulge in it?
There is a question that is worthy
of more than passing thought, for
it relates to human comfort, prosper.
ity, and success:
Why do you kick when things do
not go to please you?
Is it not because you were taught
to do SO? Didn't your parents. your
big brothers and sisters, and maybe
the men and women you admired,
grumble and complain, or kick, when
things did not go to suit them, even
when it's fault was their own?
And are not your children learning
in the same way from you?
Maybe you had no thought of this
before? Now that your attention has
been called to it, and you have thought
about it. If you do not act accordingly
you will not be doing right, and to
fail to do that which you know to be
right is to sin.
Kicking is. therefore. sign of III
breeding, and one that young folks
should take into account when choos-
ing life partners. for a kicker in matri-
monial harness loses the race, besides
creating much confusion. - Newark

Murder of Prince ito.

Harbin-Prince Hirobumi Ito was
assassinated at the Tsaitsagan railway
station here Tuesday at the moment
edging the noisy welcome that had
greeted him as he stepped down from
the coach that he had occupied in the
railroad train.
Smiling and bowling he turned to
make his way toward the Russian fl
nance minister, M. Kokovsoff, who was
awaiting him on the station platform
a few PAGES distant.
Suddenly half dozen revolver shots
fired in quick succession were heard.
followed by the cries of those stand
ing near the prince, who had either
been wounded or imagined themselves
to be.
At the second report Prince Ito
staggered and fell. 1t was subsequent.
ly found that he had received ,hreo
bullets, two Of which entered the alb
domen. Prince Ito did not recover
consciousness and died twenty min.
utes later.
Prince Ito's private secretary re-
ceived bullet, as did Japanese Con-
sui General HAWAIIAN and General
Manager Tanaka of the South Man
churian railway, who had moved
closer to the prince as the firing be-
gan. 1t is thought that these three
are not mortally wounded
The perpetrator of the outrage was
not hard to locate, as he stood de-
family in the crowd, revolver in hand.
He proved to be Korean, and with
two companions of the same nation
ality boasted Of conspiracy to take
the life of the former resident general
of Korea in satisfaction for the alleged
tyranny OF the prince over Koreans.

WAS LAST SURVIVING GREAT
COMMANDER OF THE
CIVIL WAR.
THANKED BY CONGRESS
LOST AN ARM IN BATTLE AND
WAS FAMED AS CHRIS
TIAN SOLDIER.

Burlington, Vt.-General Oliver o.
Howard last of the Union command.
ers OF the Civil War. died at his home
here Tuesday night of heart disease.
He was seventy-nlne years old.
Last week General Howard was in
Ontario delivering his lecture on
abraham Lincoln" His last public
appearance was at London Sunday
night.
Monday he returned to his home
here and was apparently in his usual
good health. Tuesday night he was
attacked by heart trouble and was
dead when a physician reached the
house.
Including General Howards serv'
ices in the Indian wars, he probably
was in more engagements than any
other officer in the United States
Army. He was born in Leeds, Me-,
other officer in the United States
November s, 1880.
OF the five illustriOus commanders
of the Army of the Tennessee, Gen.
eral Howard was the only survivor.
Grant, Sherman, Mcpherson and Lo.
gan died before him. They all made
names from Nashville to Atlanta. Nc
Pherson died at the latter place. Lo-
gan was the hero of July 22nd in the
campaign director, Grant was the
head and Howard himself was called
by Sherman the "Stonewall Jackson"
of the northern army. He succeeded
to the command of the Army of the
Tennessee after the death of McPher-
son at Peachtree creek. General How
atrd participated in more prominent
engagements of the war than any Off
Ger now living. he was with McClel-
Ian in the peninsular campaign, and
lost his arm at fair Oaks.
Later he went down the bloody way
to Fredericksburg, Charlottesville,
Gettysburg, Atlanta and Fayetteville.
For his gallant services at Gettysburg
he was thanked by congress in a Sc
ries of resolutions. His pronounced
Christian character was well known
through the war, and was so stead
fastly maintained that he won then,
and has always held since, the conf
dence and love of the people of the
entire nation. He was the friend and
intimate of Dwight l.. Moody, and they
were together when the steamship
Spree was wrecked.
General Howard was a first lieuten-
ant in 1861. Twenty years later he
made the Indian campaign against the
Nez Perces and the Brule Sioux, and
won as high reputation in fighting
| them as he did in the Civil war.
General Howard was the author of
'Donald's School Days." "Nez Perces
Joseph" Life of Azenor de Gaspa-
rin." Life Of Zachary Taylor" Isa-
bella of Castillo" Fighting for HUI
manity," Henry in the War" He was

me in return. In this country every
one must pay for everything he gets.
If you wish me to use my magic power
to send you home again you must do
something for me first. Help me and
l will help you"
What must 1 do?" asked the girl.
Kill the wicked Witch of the
West" answered Or.
But l cannot" exclaimed Dorothy,
greatly surprised.
You killed the Witch of the East
and you wear the silver shoes, which
bear powerful charm. There is now
but one Wicked Witch left in all this
land, and when you can tell me she is
dead I 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 If the Great Or felt
that she could help him If she would.
Il never killed anything willingly"
she sobbed; "and even If l wanted to-
how could l kill the Wicked Witch?
If you, who are Great and Terrible
cannot kill her yourself. how do you
expect me to do it,"
81 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 go, 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 Or
had said to her.
There is no hope for me-" she said,
sadly, 'for Or will not send me home
until 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 next morning the soldier with
the green whiskers came to the Scare
crow and said:
Come with me, for Or has sent for
you"
So the Scarecrow followed him and
was admitted into the great throne
room, where he saw, sitting in the
emerald throne. a most lovely lady.
She was dressed in green silk gauze
and wore upon her flowing green
locks a crown of jewels. Growing from
her shoulders were wings. gorgeous in
color and SO light that they fluttered
II the slightest breath of air reached
them.

Cremation in GERMANY

In 1908 the total number Of bodies
disposed Of by cremation in Germany
was, the British Medical Journal says,
1850. as against 2,977 in 1907, showing
an increase Of 1,073, or 36 per cent
Among those whose bodies were cre-
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.
In 2,517 cases. all coming under the
head OF Lutherans. the incineration
was accompanied by religious rites.
