Neck Pierced BY Arrow.

1t was in the summer of SO that
George Wainwright and Ben Spencer,
each in charge of q train of freight
wagons, were headed for the Missouri
river to bring supplies back to Colo
RADIO points. The Indians were very
troublesome in those days, and these
two outfits always camped together
for protection. One night they had
arranged the camp, with the wagons
forming a circle, and everybody but
the guards were to be inside. Vain
wright preferred TO sleep in q clump
of cottonWoods about a quarter of a
mile off, and there he fixed himself
with his negro servant as a bodyguard.
Neither the camp nor Wainwright was
disturbed during the night, but early
the next morning, while Wainwright
was sitting on the ground with his
back to a tree drinking his tin of cOf-
fee an arrow from an unseen foe en-
tered his neck to the right of the
jugular vein, and was driven with
such force as to impale the victim to
the tree. The negro, believing has
master was killed, ran to Spencer's
camp and gave the alarm.
Spencer and some of his men rushed
over to Wainwright Instead of being
Dead Wainwright was not even seri-
ously injured. Spencer cut the arrow
off close to the point of entrance, and
then gently drew WainWright's head
forward until he was released. The
victim suffered but little inconvenience
from the wound and by the time the
trip was completed it was entirely
healed.-Los Angeles Times.

Home

Away from Oberammergau and up
into Germany makes the last stage of
our journey. Reluctantly we turn our
backs upon this most peculiar
village and the cordial. hearty,
honest upright people who took us into
their homes and confidence. We stop
ped at No. II, the home of Gastil Georg,
who did everything possible for our
comfort and pleasure. A special train
took us Temples in early morn two
hours run to Munich or Muenchen, as
it Is spe1t here
This is a city of 100000 population,
the capital of Bavaria, now in the great
German confederation. 1t is one of the
largest and finest of German cities.
Royal palaces, libraries, art galleries,
colossal statues and monuments galore
abound with a great Hall of Fame, or
Rahmeshalle, and the Frauenllirche.
But we must hasten on. Several la
dies of our party here leave us for
cities westward and to take boat down
the stored Rhine to Cologne and then
to meet us for our homewafd voyage
We go to Dresden which is some 300
miles to the north, arriving there be-

the night and all had retired and when
our line of taxicabs drew up in front

Loud pulls of the bell soon brought
the genial hostess to open the large
doors, and her maids quickly deposit

Our hostess, here we must describe
her. for she is a character indeed. We
have some men in our party who are
six footers,'' but they have to look
mp to her! She is a giant in stature
and of correspondingly powerful ply
sique. Nearly seven feet tall, with
great frame, large of bone, and coun-
tenance, yet a perfect lady with
charming feminine accomplishments
and a soft, musical voice. Evidently
she is q stern disciplinarian with her
servants. over whom she holds a scep-
ire of iron, vet honored and even low
ed by all. She presents us each with
a pleasing souvenir, and asks that we
each send her back a postal card from
our home in America, which we glad
ly agree to. We take a drive about
this grand city of about 100000 ppou-
lation. It is the capital of ancient
Saxony, now also in the great German

FOR HONEST DAYS WORK.

The Rev Herbert S. Johnson of the
Warren Avenue Baptist church. Bos-
ton has surprised the public by his

the city and he thought that rocking
chairs should be furnished for street
labcrers to rest in. The ratio of labor
from a weeks observation of a street
gang was one working to five resting
Concerning the general management
Of affairs, he said:
Boston is the worst governed city
Of it's size on the face of the globe
The taxpayer here gets less for his
money and more money here is vast
ed.
The street department is grossly
mi srna naged in one or two ways" he
continued Either the men should be
compelled to do an honest days work
now and then or the city should fur
uish them all with rocking chairs and
hot water bottles in winter. 1t is
shame to see those standing jokes
leading their misera BILE ungodly exist
ence. If the city intends to be phil
anthropiC, fl should not expose the
objects of its philanthropy on the
streets and invite them to cheat and
defraud the taxpayers"
There are a score of cities in New
England to which this criticism fits
like a No. glove TO No. hand
The political soft snap is a daily ex-
hibit everywhere.

sThe Next Gasoline Engine.

The British admiralty's refusal to
deny or affirm the recurring report that
a gas engine battleship is near at hand
is probably another sign that the ex-
perrin ents it has long been making are
meeting with success. Fully a year
ago it became known that an old gun
boat had been fitted UP with a gas en-
CINE. Since that time such strides
have baen made in Germany that the
Hamburg American line has ordered a
5000 ton vessel fitted up with the
Diesel gas engine. If this is worth try
ing in the merchant marine, we may
as it does the entire naval world, will
not be far behind. It is, If course, not
a question of adopting the gasoline en-
CINE of the familiar power boat type.
That has so demonstrated it's useful
ness and economy for all craft up to
100 feet that a steam vessel under that
length is becoming a rarity. Beyond
that size however. constructors have
not yet gone because the cost of the
fuel rapidly approaches that of coal
and for round the-wOrld cruising coal
is in one sense the more desirable, be-
cause oftener available. The engine
upon which the British engineers are
at work is one propelled by gas gen

What is there about that most USE
full machine the lawn mower that
causes it to be regarded as a joke? 1t
is not considered as a joke by the in
dividual who is engaged in pushing it,
but mankind SENS to have agreed that
there is something decidedly humor-
Gus connected with the spectacle of
somebody else engaged in this most
healthfuI form of outdoor exercise. A
weekly publication of wide circulation
prints a cover design illustrating an
elderly red faced citizen, cutting the
grass, his countenance the picture of
distress. The leading funny papers,
which are so apt to be misleading, can
not go to press in the summer time
without a few lawn mower jokes
sprinkled over their pages.
This conspiracy to speak sneeringly
of the lawn mower can be accounted
for only on the theory that thare are
a large number of persons who have
no grass of their own to cut. who are
therefore, unable to obey the injunction
to make hay while the sun shines and
are spondingly envious of the
landed proprietors who are so lucky
as to have some use for a lawn mower
You never hear the man with a lawn

how he will get enough exercise. His
companions. less fortunate, are forced
to spend hours on the golf links, on
the tennis courts or in gymnasium

The Orion.

It's a dull day now in which Eng

breaking addition to the fleet splash
ing into the water. Hardly had the
Lion become used to the tang of the
sea, and long before naval experts
had completed figuring on her possible
strength, the Orion is launched at
Portsmouth. The admiralty says she
is the last word" in battleship con-
struction and will mark a new era.
She will be the first regular battle

One of the most important laws en-
acted by the last congress was that
charging the powers Of the interstate
commerce commission to enable it to
define the necessary safety appliances
and enforce regula lions for safeguard
ing human life on railroads.
The law is one in which the presi
dent is deeply interested. Indeed, it
was recommended to congress by him
and he pronounces it one of the most
important laws any congress ever en-
acted It is broad in its scope, and
yet the president proposes to go even
further in his recommendations along
this line to the next congress. He
wants another bill passed that will pro-
vide for still better inspection of loco
motive boilers and the removal of dan
gerous overhead construction.
The encouraging feature about this
legislation is that most railroads are
ready and prompt to cooperate with
the government toward securing it's
benefits The most progressive roads
are diligently engaged in a campaign
to lessen the possibility of casualty
and are making splendid Roadway.
There is yet much more to be done
and undoubtedly the acts of congress
will he instrumental in accomplishing
the utmost in this direction.-Omaha

AN APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC.

Through the agency Of The Bulle-

Academy have decided TO appeal to
1he citizens Of Norwich 10 contribute
% a fund for the financial strength
cning OF this Institution Of learning
which for more than half q century
has from private resources given thou
sands OF Norwich youth an academic
education. saving 10 the tax payers at
least two mills a year, or. in other
words. saving TO the citizens an aggre-
gate expense Of $1,000 900.
II has occurred to the trustees that
those who have been permanently
benhtsd as well as those who have
been freed from the burden Of sup
porting a high school would esteem
II a privilege TO contribute something
IN such an ezigeney as this TO improve
thu educational facilities or the Free
Academy and 20 broaden the work.
Il goes without saying that every
year a large per cent. Of the youth Of
Norwich are seeking a better educa-
ton and the classes get larger and
larger as the years roll round. If the
unremunerated cost to the Academy is

Another Cause for Hiqh Prices.

There is one more cause for high

from time to time, and it may be pos
sible to assign a few more, but this
from George NJ. Bowers. head of the
bureau of fisheries of the department
of commerce and labor of the United
States government, looks like fair
mark for the limit: There are tens
of thousands of men and women in
Massachusetts and all along the Maine

may have been the excuse for some

them. Now they and their appetites
are directly accused and by an official
