Colonel Brady says he was one of
a committee of four who investigated
the explosion and reported their find
ings to President Mckinley.
"Of course, I did not see this man
turn on the switch which set free the
power of the mines which caused the
disaster" said the colonel, "but the
evidence in the case pointed directly
to his guilt. Three other army Of
ficials, whose names ! do not care to
give, and myself, reported to the pres

responsible He was later executed
upon the command of General Blanci.

The only way to become an expert
at lovemaking is to practice. This
was the information handed out to a
handful of hearers by the Hindu phil.
osopher, Sakharam Ganesh Pandit, in
lecture on THE Science of Love.
Love is a divine discomfort" said
the philosopher and If you want to
arouse love in others it can be done
only by giving them love. How to
develop the emotion of love in another
is the great question of today-the art
of making love. It needs a great deal
of study and great deal Of prac-

wrong with Crossley's cistern, and

Crossley pere found the bathroom
flooded. OF he went TO Potts, the
plumber, who promised faithfully
to call and repair the leakage at

But the promises of plumbers are
like the piecrusts of bakers. Two
hours elapsed, and still there was
no sign of Potts. By good luck,
however, Mrs. Crossley saw an
other knight of the soldering iron
and enlisted his services. He was
smart workman, and the job was
done in few minutes. " hen Potts
called about o'clock that day, and
was informed that the damage had
been repaired, he seemed quite up
set.
"DoneI" he gasped. "Then you
have been imposed on, ma'am. I
