How Strauss Once Snubbed Russian
Court Dignitary.


When Johann Strauss took his or
chestra to Russia he had SOME unusual
experiences not generally vouchsafed
TO those who live outside an autocratic
government.
One day he received the ezarina s
commands 10 play before her al her
summer resort and was told on arriv-
ing there that he would have to re-
hearss his program three times before
the performance. He begged to know
the reason for that. but no explanation
was given him. These were her maj
esty's orders. and he could only COM
ply. Still, his establishment grew when
he saw during the three rehearsals an
empty court carriage drawn by pair
of horses slowly going back and forth
in front of his orchestra.
Throughout the final performance
the mysterious act was explained. The
empress. having sharp attack or
govt. was obliged to recline in the
carriage, her foot on cushion, while
the concert took place, and the object
of rehearsal had been to accustom the
horses to a full string band lest they
should take fright and bolt with her.
At the end of the performance an
exalted dignitary of the court babe

tinuously for over an hour he stopped

from the instrument.

Suicides Favorite DAYS.

Curious official statistics are pub
lished in Berlin indicating the favorite
seasons for committing suicide in
Prussia. May, June and July are the
popular months. Men prefer July.
while women favor May. The fewest
suicides take place in February. Thirty
per cent of the male and IS per cent
of the female suicides occur in the
springtime and the next most in the
summer. autumn and winter in the or
der named.
Berlin registers an average Of twenty
suicides weekly in June. Youthful per-
sons prefer the nighttime for suicide,
ing or afternoon. The fewest suicides
occur Immediately after sunset Mon
day, Tuesday and Thursday are the
"favOrite" days. The fact that most
suicides occur on Monday and Tuesday
is attributed to the reaction after too
joyful Sundays. Friday shows the
fewest suicides because people on the
brink of despair often recover their
courage in anticipation of the payment
Of weekly wages next day The small
est number of suicides take place on
Saturday pay day. and Sunday, al
though the number of women who take
their own lives on the Sabbath is rea-
lively high. This is attributed to the
fact that women who live alone feel
their loneline sg, especially on Sundays

MATRIMONIAL CHAIR IN

Seven Assistant Editors Have Fallen
Victims to Cupid's WiIes.

At Winsted. Conn, Lydia Todd
married. Everybody knew she

There are only three chairs in

hat guests sit in when they come
n to ask the editor if he would
,ot rather have cabbage instead of
cal money for last years sub
criptions, and the magic matri-
nonial chair.
Etheridge cannot keep an as
istant editor because of the spell

even occupants of it have married
within three years. 1t is an arm

round the waist and has a nice

"a girl.
The editor-in. chief did not sus-
ect the chair at first. He thought
1at his troubles were due to the
ict that the assistant editor al
rays had to read the spring poetry
nd the verses about love that
ere contributed by Thomaston
oets.
But one week the editor broke
is own chair by falling on the
ack of it suddenly when an old
ibscriber came in to pay for three
ears in advance. AS there was
vacancy in the assistant editor
Zip due to recent marriage,
theridge took the vacant chair
lille his own was being re-
tired. He had not sat in it three
lys until he went and got mar
ed himself. Then he knew
hat the trouble was and wrote a
ece for his own paper about the
lair.
Ever since the story of the
lair became known many maids

Bligh ting Infieence Of Monopoly.

Tuesday last Mr.. Pinchot, Chief
Forester of the United States, dis
cussed a new and striking aspect
of the problem of conserving the
natural resources of the nation.
The American people, he said,
have made up their minds that
these resources must be conserved.
The question of vital importance
is, to whose benefit shall the con-
servation of the coal lands, the
forests and the water conduce-to
the welfare of the nation or to the
advantage and profit of monopo-
lists? The issue, in Mr.. Pinchot's
view, is sharply drawn between
special and privileged and self
seeking interests on one side and
the rights of the masses on the
other, between government by
men for human welfare and gov
eminent by money for profit. p"
Mr.. Pinchot maintains that
monopoly leads inevitable to
lowering of moral standards, and
that the ultimate result is to in
crease the number of corner
loafers" and to promote the traffic
of the white slave" traders. This
is putting the case with almost
startling Candor. Yet the argu-
ment of the Chief Forester is, on
the whole, sound and worthy of
thoughtful consideration. When,
as he says, monopolies obtain con-
troll of the sources of production,
opportunities for employment are
restricted and vast numbers of men
and women find it increasingly
difficult to make a fair living.
Desperation is followed by demon
alization and ultimately by degra-
dation in the case of many unfor-
tunate persons. 1t is undeniable
that the country has made phe-
nominal progress in a material
way, but despite and not Oh &C
count of the growth OF monopolies;
and it has had to pay the price-a
terrible one-in the undermining
of morals and in the wreck of char
acter which can be traced directly
to the results of monopoly.
Mr.. Pinchot's warning is an i'm
pressive one. 1t concerns an evil
which is the prolific source of evils.
1t does not make the situation less
intolerable to reflect that some of
the monopolists who have aCquir-
ed immense riches through special
privilege are in their private lives,
model citizens, and in their per-
sonal transactions conform to the
accepted code of morals. But if
such men, in the exercise of the
advantages which they possess
through monopolies. are absolute
ly indifferent to the welfare of the
masses, if they extort undue profits
from the poor, if they perpetuate
their special privileges through
political corruption and by de-
bauching legislative bodies, they
are, however blameless in private
life, public enemies. These men
might be shocked to hear that they
are responsible in any way OF to
any degree for the moral degra-
dation of the victims Of monop-
oily. But this, in effect, is Mr..
Pinchot's indictment.
In the social and moral, as we'll
as in the economic sense, monopoly
Of the sources of production and of
the necessaries Of life has inflicted
grievous injury upon the people of
the TTn;tad StotAs The -,aon1e.

test the Case and Litigation will

Judge william s. Spencer In the
probate court Saturday rendered his
decision in the hearing on the ap-
pllcation of Frances e. Crosby to ad-
nit the lost. destroyed or spoiliated
will of John w. Thatcher to probate
the court ordering the will admitted
as requested by the petitioner.
The case Is an unusual one I'm the

conveyed his farm IN Morrow county
to his son Ed Il. Thatcher gave u
life estate I'm some of his other proper.
ty TO his sisters and wlled that at
should hold IL in fee simple.
Toward the close of his life John
w. Thatcher became mentally un-
balanced The testimony adduced a.
the hearing showed that he had be-
come very violent on Friday and that
on the same day he broke into q
secretary, secured his will and tore IL
into several pieces a day or two later
he became worse and was declared In
sane and his death followed within q
short time.
The estate of the deceased was ad
lministered upon In the probate court
where the son II. IL. Thatcher, OF
Fort Worth, Texas, was appointed ad-
lmlnistrator He said that there was
no will and as n result inherited the
whole estate or would have In short
time, as practically all of the legal
business necessary had been conclud
ed.
Then Frances Il. Crosby, a sister III
ed an application in the court asking
leave to probate the lost, or destroyed
will. claiming that though John W.
Thatcher really destroyed his will
that he had no right to do so at the
time mentally incompetent. The son
opposed the probatynE of the will on
the grounds that his father destroyed
1t claiming that he was in his right
mind at the time and so intended to
do.
Judge Spencer ruled i'm favor of the
other relatives of the deceased AMI
q portion of the $4,000 estate will go
to them. 1t Is possible however, that
Thatcher will not agree at once and
will carry the case to the higher
courts before submitting.

from the ranks of the insignificant
as all great men who are called TO
do the great things of the world.
Abraham Lincholn was called to a
mighty work and he was one of

DR.. Dawson defined just what is
meant by a call. Any man who is
capable of doing a thing and has
the call to do 1t and it is his duty
to act If man thinks that he
should do certain thing and knows
that he Is qualified for II, he should
do that thing. The person who re-
ceives the call of God to be Christ
Ian should obey The minister said
that he would much rather take
chances with the deliberate atheist,
who is confused in his mind by the
greatness of things. than with the
man who. knowing better deliber-
ately refuses to do the call of duty.
There Will be no services this
evening.
