LouisyiI,e's Sole Topic

The finding of the dead body of Alma kellner, the s-year-od child who dlsap- peared from her home last December IS the sole topic of conversation in Louis vil'e,' said Capt. P. Sid Jones, who has returned from that city.
 ''I have read of many murder mysteries and have been interested in many, put l have never observed a case that has at- tracted more attention. The accepted theory was that the child was kidnapped, was being held and would be returned, consequently when the badly deeomposed body was found in the cellar of church the pert-up nerves of Louisville people gave way.
 Nov nothing is discussed but the case. Te1dy's triumphal march through Eu- rope, not unlike the historic Napoleon s, has paleo into insignifcance by compari- son in Louisville
 '''The interest in the case is warranted, too, as never in southern police annals has case been more difficult to solve. No clues were ever found of even passing value, and but for chance error the kelhler case would have taken rank with the Charley Ross mystery as unsolvable.' '

Ideal Homes for Convicts.

comic opera Jail at Thorburg, where
the inmates did as they pleased, has
only recently been suppressed by the
Berne authorities, yet details are pub

Sarnen is apparently an ideal penal
resort, for the happy criminals who
are sentenced to terms of detention"
in that institution have a far better
time than hundreds of "free" Swiss
citizens who are forced to earn their
bread. A correspondent of a Lausan-

briefly, but undoubtedly such is the
fact. OF course, there are women
whose second marriages are not so
happy, for there are women who only
love once; but the majority of women
who have remarked after having been
ill-mated previously find their second
attempt more successful. And usually
il is not because their second husband
is any better than their first. Their
happiness is due principally to the fact
that their first marriage has given
them experience.
They understand men better. They
have developed beyond the sentimental
stage and know that life is not all love
and kisses. They understand the need
of a home. They do not expect their
husband to be content with a smile
when the house is untidy and the dim
ner spoiled.
AS a general rule the woman who
marries for second time is more apt
to made a home happy because she IS
more settled and domestic.
She is more prudent. She is likely 70
tn nix more of her household duties
than her finery. She has profited by
her mistakes, and she is more willing
to compromise little difficulties with
her second husband than with, her
first.
a study of the records of divorce
courts will show that when a woman
marries for the second time there is
less danger Of tfoublc in the home.

HIGH COST OF LIVING.
James J. Hill Declares it is the Penal
ty of High Living.

ty of High Living.
In a recent Interview by a reporter
FOR the New York American, James ].
Hill of the Great Northern railroad,
sounded the slogan Back to the Soil"
He declared that the problem Of the
high cost Of living is more than ma
tional-it is world wide. He scoffed at
the Malthusian theory Of too rapid in
crease in population in proportion to
normal productiveness Of the earth
and said: Alphabetically speaking. tho
earth is not over populated anywhere.
There is congestion in the cities. The
problem is TO relieve this congestion
and scatter the unproductive popula-
ton 20 the farms. Then when we get
them there we must teach them how TO
farm better than nine-tenths Of our
farmers now know. l believe statistics
would show that now over half Of the
farms in the United states are more
than half under cultivation every year
by this I mean that our present meth
DDS are so loose and slipshod and ex-
haustive Of the soil that il becomes
necessary for the average man to let
about hall OF his tillable land lie fall
low every year in order that ii may
recuperate."
Mr.. Hill says no fears that legisla-
tion can DO little for the relief Of the
householder The statute books are
now crowded with laws that were
framed to avert conditions such rs
now prevail The fault is in high liv-
ing. when some ladies down at
Washington the other day asked me o
