The atrocities of Mula Hafid the
 sultan of Morocco, towards the prison
 CTS taken in the fight with Fl Roghi
 (the pretender) have lost him the ser
 vices of Kaid Belton, the Englshman
 appointed to the command of the Moorish troops i6 months ago. The sultan set great store by Kaid Belton and tried to make him reconsider his decision to resign. but the latter de- clined to remain. In an interview re- gently Kaid Belton said it was impos- sible for him to acquiesce in the in human methods of Mulai Hafid. On the last official paarde which l attend ed in Fez," he said, "93 human heads were held up before the sultan on the ends of rifles. Later in the same day 20 of Fl Roghi's officers had their right hands cut off at the wrist The hands were taken to Mulai Hatid on a tray, as a proof that his orders ha l been carried out The stumps when the hands are cut off are steeped in a
 cauldron of boiling oil-not, you un- derstand, by way of further torture,
 but simply to stop the bleeding. We'll. l never heard so much as a whimper from a single one of those men. That in itself was hardihood enough; but that is not all. One prisoner, having stretched out his right arm and suf- fered the mutilation, walked over to | the cauldron of oil, which was placed | on fire. The man had a cigarette | between his lips, and while the stump of his arm was plunged in the boiling liquid he calmly stopped md lighted his cigarette at the flames. Later on | 300 more heads were brought in"

A New Ncte in Weddinus.

Edith Acworth, a wealthy young woman of Malvern, England, has struck a new note in weddings. She became bride the other day of a Cal. cutta merchant, and her wedding was designed after paintings by Romney The Romney wedding interested the women of all England and a natur Il development has been the announce ment of Reynolds weddings" Whist Ter weddings" and, of course. Gains borough weddings" The costumes of Miss Acworth and her six bridesmaids were from paintings in the British National gallery. The gown worn by the bride was an exact copy of a Rom ney painting of her great -grand-aunt Two boys wore Romney page uni forms, and two baby girls in quaint little dresses looked as if they had stepped straight out of Romney can vas. Another Romney touch was given by rose-pnk sashes for the brides maids.

Fan Bracelets.

An ingenious jeweler has decided to have no more lost fans in the the aters or bathrooms. He has fashioned a bracelet which holds the tiny hand fan securely, yet gives easy manipula. tion and grace movement to the wrist He first contrived a carved tortoise shell, to which was attached a dull gold chain. The shell handle of the fan carried out the carved idea. This was so successful and so sensible that other more individual ideas have been evolved. White ivory, carved so deli cately that it is hard to realize that it is not band of creamy lace around the wrist, is used for the bracelet of white fan which hangs from a silkcn cod. Then there is a lovely jet idea from which is sus- pended a black spangled fan. Gold and silver ornamented with jewels are legion. Indeed, the bracelet is won wonderful decorative ring, which com pines beauty with utility in this new thought for evening wear.

Before the Days of Spoons.

Felix Platter, young Swiss, went 10 Montpelier, France, in 1852 in CT. der to study medicine. He lodged h the house of his professor, Catelan
 one of the greatest doctors of his time. and yet. writes Platter, in his diary, We were compelled to eat our stew in the usual French fashion
 that is to say. picking the meat out with our fingers, and then drinking the broth. In vain we begged onr hostess to let us have spoons, for not a single one was to be found ID the house, the only implement on the table being a large knife fastened with an iron chain. No one here seems tc have ever heard of spoons, which we at home find so useful" Montague was astonished when he visited Swlt
 zerland in 1880, to find that "at all meals they put on the table as many spoons as there are people present"

 Curious to say, none of the surround ing peoples with whom the Asiatic and European Greeks were in constant communication, political or conner cial, took up the wonderful invention which at present seems to us Of such obvious necessity that we scarcely realize how the civilized world of old could have got on without 1t. AS a matter of fact, however, neither the PhOenicians, with their practical c0m- mercial sense, nor the Lydians or the Persians who claimed the supremacy over the cities where the new cur rency was initiated, nor of course the Egyptians ever had coinage, till the conquests of Alexander disseminated the Greek civilization all through the eastern world The Romans came to know it through the Greek cities in Sicily and Magma Grecia, and began striking silver coins toward the begin ming of the third century, B. c.

Caesar the Great Destroyer.

Caesar was not a great statesman, but he was a great destroyer. In him were personified all the revolutionary forces, the magnificent but devastat. ing forces of a mercantile age in con- fiict with the traditions of an old world society-its religious skepticism, its indifference to morality, its insen- sibility to family affection, its oppor- tunist and undisciplined politics. it's contempt for precedent and tradition, it's eastern luxury, its grasping militar- ism, its passion for the baser forms of commerce and speculation, its first tentative efforts towards intellectual refinement, it's naive enthusiasm for art and science There is hardly a stranger irony in history than that the rulers of Germany and Russia should have assumed the title of this prince of revolutionaries. For we fail to grasp the true significance of Cae- sar's career till we discern that, like Pompey and Crassius, and the other great figures of his day, his mission was primarily destructive-to com plete the Reorganization and dissolu- tion of the old world, both in Italy and the provinces, and thus make way for a stabler and juster system. But when he imagined that he could apply his unrivaled powers of mind and will to all the intellectual and social influ- ences of the time, and direct them to his own purposes, he dtspleased al. parties and was removed from the scene.-From Ferro's Greatness and Decline of Rome"

TAFT PLEADS GUILTY

During the closing days OF the last
session of congress Senator Dolliver
delivered one of the greatest speech.
es ever heard in the United States
senate. Its merit as an oratorical pro-
duction has given the speech ma
ton wide circulation. Senator Dolli-
yer attacked the tariff legislation of
the last congress, the President and
his lieutenants, Aldrich and Cannon.
His speech was replete with irony,
mastery ridicule, invective, satire
and unanswerable argument.
He attacked the President for his
refusal to recognize the progressive
members of congress in the distribu-
ton Of patronage in the following
torceful manner:
''In common with good citizens
Everywhere, share the universal dis
gust which has arisen on seeing the
greatest executive departments which
touch the business of the Nation most
intimately, made a headquarters fol
the awkward squad of politics, bucket
shops for dealing in political futures
upon margins calculated daily from
the yeas and nays"
And now at this late day President
Taft pleads guilty to the Dolliyer in
dictment, and promises to hereafter
be good Indian and to quit trying
to defeat progressive candidates.

poLLIvER AND TAFT.

Never in its history has thu
republican party passed and become
responsible for as much useful and
progressive legislation" Gas in the
last SESSION. .-PresiGent Taft's let

In his Milwaukee speech, delivered
on the day following the publication
of Taft's letter, Senator Dollive1
said:
"a hopeful sign of the new spirit
Of independence in political thought
lies in the fact that you can no
longer justify what a political party
does and what a political leadership
stands for by dogmatic generaliza.
tons on the subject of what con-
gress has done"
1t was hard Cor Dolliver to hear
the President boast about the inter.
state commerce bill amendments
When he knew it was only by the
combined votes of the democrats and
insurgent republicans that they be-
came part of the law as it now
stands. Senator Dolliver rebuked
Taft in the following manner:
1T is pleasant to read the presi-
dents letter telling about the laws
which have been enacted during the
last two years, but it is equally plea
SAINT to man Of my temperament
to reflect that there are millions of
people in the United States who
know that the only really important
thing about the new railroad law is
the provision that the burden of proof
is now upon the railroad to show af-
firmatively to the interstate com
merce commission that a new rate,
increasing the existing rate, is Just
and reasonable one before it becomes
lawful and effective charge against
the public.
That is an epoch making step in
the right direction; it does for our
people what the English law did for
theirs quarter of century ago. 1t
is a creditable thing for the Repub-
lican party to do-in fact, it was done
practically without division in either
house of congress, but it cannot do
the Republican party any harm to
know that it was not one of the
things which the attorney general in
duced the president to present to

A WORD ABOUT SEED CORN.
To the farmers of 1owa:-

To the farmers of Iowa:-
Let us not forget the condition that
so many of our farmers experienced
last fail by having Jack Frost serious
ly visiting the seed corn before we
had secured that for next years
planting. Every farmer knows that
low degrees of temperature will ser.
iously iniure his seed corn, especially
when the corn contains a large
amount of moisture. If we go out in
to our corn fields right now 1t will be
found that in the same hill for ex-
ample, you will find stalks of corn
each bearing an ear, each ear about
1.-THE same size, and possibly with the
exception of maturity they will be
practically equal, and yet one of
them will have the husk turning
brown, the corn we'll into the dent,
matured sufficiently to pick for seed,
while the other ear, although grow
ing on stalk in the same hill, it
will be found to be immature, con-
tanning high percentage of moisture
and unfit for seed purposes.
Now If you We're to pick your seed
corn today what would you do? Why
of course youw ould pick the well ma
tured ear, and discard the other one;
but suppose you do not get your seed
corn now, and leave it until it is
time to fill the crib, and you come to
this same hill containing these two
stalks with the same two ears. 1t
will be impossible to tell which of
the two ears matured before the
other one. and what will you do? Why
naturally take them both for seed. It
would mean millions OF bushels Of
corn in increased yields per acre to
the state of Iowa II her farmers woule
go right out into the field this month
(the month Of September) and pick,
well matured ears right off the stalk.
1t Will not be necessary to take
small, inferior ears, If we but look
for them. When we stop to consider
the fact that 1t only takes twelve
ears of corn to plant anacre, 1t in
deed is a very serious matter to leave
this seed corn of ours out in the
field on the stalk, where Jack Frost
is liable to beat us to it. Let us not
forget the experiences of last year.
1t is Just good business that every
ear of corn we use for seed be pick
ed between now and the first of Oc-
tober. The large. well matured ears
are there in your field. and when
ever you select twelve of them you
have enough to plant an acre.
1t will not be necessary to run
Seed Corn Special trains next spring
to illustrate the poor condition of the
seed corn II our farmers will select
their seed corn before the cold wealth.
