Delivered Four Ruffians.
Lexington Herald.)

Senator Thomas makes no bones in
charging that Campbell Cantrill de
livered the four rutfians of the Demo
cratic party to the Republicans to de-
feat Governor Beckham," the regular
ly nominated candidate for United
States Senator, and yet Mr.. Cantrill
claims he is the real dyed-in-the-woel
Democrat who always votes its ticke is
and supports its nominees. He cannot
explain his course in that or in other
matters directly affecting his integrity
to anybody's satisfaction and has not
tried to do so, although his claimed
Democracy is of such strong variety
that he cannot speak in meeting over
which a Republican presides and asks
Democrats not to vote for Thomas be-
cause the President of the Burley So
ciety. Mr.. Clarence Lebus, who he
says is a Republican. is backing him.
That kind of plea may fool some
Democrats who want to be fooled. but
it won't pull the wool over the eyes of
those who can reason. vMr. Cantrill
must not presume too much on the
credulity of the public
Mr.. Thomas Democracy is unassail-
able. There should be no hesitancy
among Democrats as to whom they
will support. The man who has be-
trayed the party once will do it again
when occasion offers.

DRIVEN INSANE
SHE BROWNS
HER CHILDREN

San Francisco, Aug. Mrs. Joseph
M. Mello, wife of a wealthy rancher
near Brentwood, Contra Costa county,
drowned four of her young children.
The woman was evidently driven in
sane by the loneliness Of her life in the
country. She lived In q big farm
house with her husband and six~chil-
dren, the oldest being Chester, a boy
of fourteen years. No servant was
employed.
After writing letters to her relatives,
telling them she was desperate
through loneliness, she took five of the
children into the kitchen and delber-
ately set about killing them.
First she strangled little Ramona, a
f~our-year-old girl, and then drowned
her in a washtub. Leona, a two-year-
old girl, came next. She snatched the
baby from the arms Of the boy and
killed her like the others. Then she
seized the twin babies, FIVE months
old, and plunged them into the tub.
Chester, who vainly tried to stop his
mothers dreadfL. work, rushed out
into the yard and screamed for help.
Sheriff Veale happened to be passing
In an automobile and responded. He
tried to resuscitate the twins, but In
vain. Then he took the mother to
Martinez and put her in the county
hospital.

PROMOTED THE COOK.
An Error Made Him a Professor of
History In Russia.


Some years ago the minister Of edu-
cation in st. Petersburg was appealed
to by telegraph for a cook, to be hur-
ried to Moscow. The operator got his
dashes and dots mixed, out by next
train q man arrived and was ceremoni-
ously conducted to the university,
where he was introduced to the assem-
bled faculty and students as the new
professor In history.
The unhappy fellow protested that,
while he might be a professor of pots
and pans, he knew nothing about his
tory. But in Russian official life it is
harder far to correct an error than to
make one, SO for several years the cook
has held his professorship, though no
one attends his lectures.
Another laughable story comes from
the Suwalky school for boys. A door
keeper there who could scarcely read
or write had grown SO untidy and
slow that he was no longer useful, but
as the headmaster did not want to set
him adrift he promoted him to a teach
er's post and had him transferred to q
distant school. He, too, will be a pro-
fessor some day.-Moscow Letter In

First lest of the Air Pump.

The first public test OF the air pump
was In 1854 by its inventor, Otto Won
Guericke, In the presence OF Emperor
Ferdinand Of Germany. Guericke APP
piled the carefully ground edges of
metallic hemispheres, two feet In di-
ameter. to each other. After exhaust
ing the air by his apparatus he at
tached fifteen horses to each hemi-
sphere. In vain did they attempt to
separate them because Of the enor-
nous pressure of the atmosphere. The
experiment was a great success.
