Cremation in Germany,

In 1908 the total number OF bodies
disposed Of by cremation in Germany
was, the British Medical Journal says,
4,05O, as against 2,977 in 1907, showing
an increase of 1,073, or 36 per cent.
Among those whose bodies were ere.
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
withstandinr 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.

Now the Scarecrow, who had eS-

On the next morning the soldier
with the green whiskcrs came to the
Tin Woodman and said:

So the Tin Woodman followed him
and came to the great throne room.
He did not know whether he would
find OF lovely lady or n head. but he
hoped IL would be the lovely lady.

But when the Woodman entered tho

the shape of n most terrible beast. II
was nearly as big as an elephant, and
the green throne seemed hardly strong
enough to hold it's weight. The beast
had a head like that OF rhinoceros,

CHAPTER xi.-continued.

She left Dorothy alone and went
back to the others. These she also
led to rooms. and each one of them
found himself lodged in a very pleas
ant part of the palace. or course this
politeness was wasted on the Scare
crow: for when he found himself alone
in his room he stood stupidity in one
spot, Just within the doorway, to walt
till morning. II would not rest him
to lie down, and he could not close his
eyes: so he remained all night staring
at a little spider which was weaving
its web in a corner OF the room, just
as II 1t were not one of the most won
derful rooms in the world. The Tin
Woodman lay down on his bed from
force OF habit. for he remembered
when he was made of flesh: but not
being able to sleep he passed the night
moving his joints up and down to
make sure they kept in good working
order. The Lion would have preferred
a bed of dried leaves in the forest. and
did not like being shut up in room:
but he had too much sense to let this
worry him. so he sprang upon the bed
and rolled himself up like a cat and
purred himself asleep in a minute.
The next morning. after breakfast.
the green maiden came to fetch Dor
othy, and she dressed her in one of
the prettiest gowns-made Of green
brocaded satin. Dorothy put on a
green silk apron and tied green rib
bon around Toto's neck, and they
started for the throne room of the
Great Or.
First they came to a great hall in
which were many ladies and gentle
men of the. court, all dressed in rich
costumes. These people had nothing
to do but talk to each other, but they
always came to wait outside the
throne room every morning. although
they were never permitted to see OF.
AS Dorothy entered they looked at her
curiously, and one of them whispered:
Are you really going to look upon
the face of Or the Terrible?"
"Of course" answered the girl, III
he will see me-"
"Oh, he will see you,' said the SOL
der, who had taken her message to
the Wizard. although he does not
like to have people ask to see him.
Indeed, at first he was angry, and said
I should send you back where you
came from. Then he asked me what
you looked like. and when I men,
toned your silver shoes he was very
much interested. At last / told him
about the mark upon your forehead,
and he decided he would admit you to
his presence"
Just then bell rang, and the green
girl said to Dorothy:
THAT is the signal. You must go
into the throne room alone"
She opened little door and Doro-
thy walked boldly through and found
herself in a wonderful place. 1t was
a big, round room with high arched
roof, and the walls and ceiling and
floor were covered with large emer-
aids set closely together. In the CEN
ter Of the roof was a great light, as
bright as the sun. which made the en-
eralds sparkle in wonderful manner.
But what interested Dorothy most
was the big throne of green marble
that stood in the middle Of the room.
It was shaped like a chair and spar
kled with gems, as did everything
else. In the center Of the chair was
an enormous head, without body to
support It or any arms or legs what
ever. There was NO hair upon this

Drowned
IN River
BODY OF UNIDENTIFIED MAN
FOUND BY RANCHER.

The body of an unidentified
man was found in the Stuck river
near Dieringer by Will Spinning
a rancher, last night and today it
was brought to Mellinger's
morgue.
Spinning saw something that he
took to be sack hung up ON a
snag in the river three days ago,
but he did not go out to investi-
gate until last evening when he
saw a number of crows lowering
around it.
Coroner Shaver examined the
body today and said that he
thought 1t was that of laboriug
man. The only articles of cloth
ing were a pair of khaki trousers
and shirt and there was moth
ing in the pockets that would aid
in Identification. 1t is hard to
say how long the body had been
in the water, but In the opinion
of the coroner 1t had been there a
long time.
Owing to the badly decomposed
state of the body II will be neces-
sary TO bury it at once.

MADISON, Wis, Aug. 13.-The
new tariff and Speaker Cannon
are both attacked today by Sena-
tor La Toilette in his Weekly"
The leading editorial bears the
caption "The New Tariff and the
Presidents Statement" 1t de.
clares that the president in the
campaign last fall promised a
downward revision, saying In
part:
'sThe kind of revision
demanded, promised and de-
creed at the polls, was not
even partially complied with.
In so far as the price Of any
article in common use is af-
fected by the rates under the
Payne-Aldrich law, the cost
will be increased to the con-
sumer."
The editorial continues, saying
that although many are disap-
pointed at the presidents state
ment because 1t Is not a vigorous
stand, there is hopeful signifi-
canoe in the presidents intima-
ton that the tariff is not a closed
book. Another editorial, under
the caption "Cannon's Revenge" ("
