The first in Audrain county to
receive a visit from them was Capt.

Cook farm just northwest Of

They took from him a fine horse
for which he had refused 1925 in
gold. The next man visited was
Curtis +. Smith, in the same neigh

his neck ana by threats demanded
his money. They got some money,

CAR TO BUILD FINE PALACE.
Amber Stone VIII Be
Materia1-Old Chapel Saved.

st. Petersburg.-It is an interesting
fact that the czar has determined to
pull down his palace at Livadia, and
in its stead to build wonderful new
one made entirely of the beautiful
Balaklava stone, which, when poll
ished, resembles nothing so much as
pure amber. In the light, especially
in the light Of sunset, this stone has
a wonderously fairy-like appearance,
and the new palace, which is to be
completed by 1912, will be one of the
wonders Of the world.
The only past of the palace now
standing, which is to remain, is the
chapel, which, built in the early part
of last century, is a Masterpiece. This
contains a white marble altar screen,
but the gem Of everything Is the ele-
CANT marble cross mounted upon a
pedestal Of Crimea porphyry, which
was presented to Alexander II. by the
workmen Of Livadia as an expression
of their gratitude for the emanclpa-
tiOn OF the serfs.

WANTS TO CONSERVE THE
GOOD OLD SUMMER TIME

Washington.-Here's a new idea in
conservation. Associate Forester
Potter proposes to conserve the good
old summer time"
Away up on the mountain tops in
the national forest reserves Potter
tells Secretary Wilson that there are
any number Of winding lakes and
crystal streams fringed with cool
woods that would make ideal rest
cures for residents of our western
metropolises. His scheme is to pro-
vide for the poorly paid and over
worked slaves of capital, at the cost
of about IS per annum, tracts Of ma
ture which they may fence in and use
for their very own, with no restric-
tions other than the ten command
ments and the regulations of the for
est service.
Under Potter's plan permits would
be issued to applicants good for ten
years, unless revoked by the secre-
tary of agriculture. There are now
several special permits issued by the
forest service for summer homes and
one for hotel or club house, on the
San Bernardino mountains in Cali
fornia. These are good for only a
year at time. The club house per-
NIT, however, has been renewed for
several years and has become a quiet
permanent institution.
Potter's new plan is now passing
under the critical eye of Solicitor
McCabe, of the department Of agri-
culture, because Secretary Wilson
does not intend starting anything
again unless he knows it is legal even
to the crosses of the t's. Unless the
solicitors stern regard for duty COM
pels him to object, the plan should
be in operation before long and the
people of the west will be able to put
in their applications for Country
seats" this spring.

Prayer Chain Harmful.

Hazleton, Pa.-Several cases of ILL
ness of nervous women are reported
by local physicians, who say the re-
ceipt of prayer chain letters makes
the trouble. These letters, thousands
of which have been circulated in town
express the idea that If the recipient
does not write the prayer nine times
and send it to nine different persons
in as many different days some great
calamity will befall. If the prayer
is sent as directed, the letter says, a
great blessing will follow. One wo-
man did as directed, but failed to send
a letter one day out of the nine owing
to illness, and was taken very sick
through worry. A number of similar
cases have turned up.

Washington, D. CA subtle sense
of sadness pervades the new tennis
court in the white house grounds.
No court could have been made
more perfect. The net is taut; the
squares within the white chalk lines
are mathematically correct as they
can be made. No fairer environment
could have been selected for it-not
even Versailles itself where the ha-
bitues of the court of the grand mon
argue played the same game in a set
ting so splendid that France went
bankrupt in creating It.
The new white house court lies un-
der the shade of the. budding elms.
The spring breezes watt across 1t the
soft fragrance of the magnolia bios
SONS and the lulling music of the
splashing fountain nearby. The
robins run across the green turf and
the squirrels scamper about without
fear of molestation. The picture is
one of perfect-perfect-peace-but
peace with sadness
Vainly does Captain Archibald Butt,
with lissome figure clad in snowy
flannels, invade the domain of pro-
found serenity in an effort to evoke
the glory of the days that were. Beck
man Winthrop, assistant secretary of
the navy and Ambassador Jusserand,
members of that informal cabinet
which is now but a memory struggle
to revivify the fading tradition that
traced parallel in the triumphs of
statecraft and the victories of the
tennis court. Even the untrammeled
energy of Charlie Taft, who some
times diverts his attention from more
boyish pursuits to whale the ball over
the fence or into the fountain, lifts
but momentarily the impalpable veil
of melancholy sadness which drops its
folds all the more closely after this
burst Of Juvenile activity.
The white house tennis court that
was, has been obliterated. the tennis
cabinet is scattered to he four winds
of heaven-or almost as bad as that
and it seems that efforts to organ
tZe another will be in vain. OF that
old cabinet but few familiar faces are
left Beekman Winthrop, Ambassa-
dor Jusserand and Lawrence o. Muir
ray are left behind. Clifford Pinchot.
Jimmy Garfield, Phillips and the 9TH
ers-perhaps they still play tennis,
but the eyes of the political world
are no longer centered upon the
score. That day is past and the
guiding spirit is far away in other
lands.
The old court, which was sacrific-
ed to provide for the addition to the
executive offices was no such dream
Of creation as the present court It
was more rectangle of clay and 1t was
surrounded by green canvas walls
which tapped unpoetically in the
wind. And how different the atti-
tude Of the players who galloped
about under cover of that canvass
screenl One could catch a glimpse
now and then of stocky figure clad
in shapeless sweater or an elon-
gated anatomy that resembled the
quondam chief forester, clad in gar
ments stained with yellow mud. There
was no serenity. On the contrary,
there were grunts, expletives, and the
sound of the swish of balls Occa-
sionally mild whoop and boisterous
laughter would indicate that some
body had in all probability been hit
in the eye.

CHAMPION IN ACTION.
Johnson-keteheI Fight Films Here
 Renew Gossip in comInq Floht.

 Gossip on the coming championship battle between Jack Johnson and James Jeffries was renewed locally yesterday with the appearance here of the fight pictures of the Johnson ketchel fight Local fight fans crowd ed the Lyric to get a glimpse of the big champion in action and they form. ed opinions for the future.
 It was generally conceded that Johnson too far outclassed Ketchel in weight, height and reach for this to have been a championship caliber test. The two took it easy through the first six rounds, and then it was one sided until the twelfth, when Ketchel made last determined effort, put the big black down. and in retaliation re- ceived the knockout blow.
 Johnson will never whip Jeffries. He wore Ketchel down by hanging-on tactics, which if he resorts to with the big fellow will mean that he will lose more ribs than Sharkey lost in a similar style of action. Moreover
