Onions, when cut, quickly absorb inn

Concentrating ones Thought.

have been thinking to-day of the
Inducements.
No, do not mean the undercurrent
at the seashore that endangers so many
lives.
But / mean dangerous undercur
rent Just the same.
The undercurrent of thought, Is what
refer to.
You are seated at your desk attend
ing to some tack theoretically, all
your thoughts are upon your work.
Actually only yonr top thoughts are
with your task For all the time there
is steady undercurrent OF thought OF
other matters going on in your mind,
Sometimes the undereurrent consists
of a review OF work done; sometimes
it relates to the good time you are go
ing TO have tomorrow; often il is
bordering upon your next seasons ward
robe; again il is concerned with some
thing that is going on outside the win
dow. In my own case, find that it is
most frequently cogitatiou upon what
am going to do next.
If you think that only volatile and
lightminded people thus divide their
thoughts, please observe yourself the
next time YOU sit down to some task
If You cannot discover any undecurrent
in your mind, you may consider your
self quite above the class for which
write-Lncoln's friendst average
folks.
Now, perhaps you want an explana-
ton of my description of the undercur-
rent Of thought as dangerous. Perhaps
you are asking, what harm can it
do If | do have an undercurrent of
thoughts What objection is there to my
thinking of two things at once if I
CAM What is there dangerous about
iti
The danger, my friend, is simply to
your capacity to do the best work of
which you are capable and to do it in
the least possible time.
That undertow carries something out
to sea, Just as surely as the ocean I'M
dertow does. Aud that something is
your concentration.
To be sure, there Is no harm In your
thinking Of the work you have done,
or the work you are going to do, or OF
to-morrow's pleasure, or your next SEN
sons wordrobe. They are innocent, or
even praisFworthy subjects for thought,
except when they are thieves, And in
this case. that Is what they are, since
they steal yonr thoughts from the sub
iect TO which they belong.
If the volume of thought which goes
into that undercurrent could be combined
with the volume Of thought which is
upon your work, don't you see how
much more swiftly and correctly and
your work would be done. r?

Carter house in Cambridge formerly oe-
eupied by Clarence V. T. Rieheson, in
dicted for the murder OF Avis W., Linnell.
Locks Of hair from loving maidens to
the debonair pastor, a score OF letters,
postcards and photographs were also
among the probable exhibits in the case,
taken in the search Of Rieheson's room.
The uncertainty which has prevailed
as to the personnel of the counsel for
the defense of Rev. Clarence V. I. Riche-
son was renewed Saturday by an an.
nouncement that John L. Lee, the Lynch
burg tVa,) lawyer, who left Boston Fri
day after a stay of several days, had
withdrawn from the case. In addition,
Congressman Robert 0. Harris, Vino has
been advisory counsel for Richeson and
who verified the announcement regarding
Attorney Lee, declared that he himself
was withdrawing from the case as fast
as possible" compelled to do so on ac-
count of his congressional duties. II
was further affirmed that Richeson's
leading counsel would be Massachu-

About two acres of the field had been

MURDERS HIS TWO CHILDREN.
Ludwig Jaeger Of Winthrop Then Kills
Himself.

Boston. Nov. 8.-Drawing revolver
when he met his two young daughters
on street in Winthrop early Satur-
day afternoon, Ludwig Z. jaeger, a book
agent, shot and killed the children and
then turned the weapon on himself, in
flicting fatal wound. Witnesses of the
tragedy rushed TO the aid of the little
ones, who, with their father, were re-
moved to the Metcalf hospital. The
children, OILY, FIVE, and Anita, four, died
within a short time, Jaeger, 1t was
found, had fatally wounded himself and
he died two hours later.
The cause of the shooting has not been
determined by the police, but Ia thought
to be domestic troubles. Mrs. Jaeger
divorced her husband in Boston last
year and she remarked Jaeger was
born In Germany 80 years ago, but lived
in Chicago for several years. When
Jaeger went to Boston a week ago he
secured lodgings at the home of Mrs
A. n Moore at Winthrop. This house
lis near the residence Of taeger's former
wife, who went to Winthrop TO live
with her second husband, Frank L.
Strassburger and her two children last
July. Mrs Moore says that Jaeger in
formed her that he was an assistant
to the Spanish consul at Chicago and
that his father was government officer
in Germany.
Jaeger had visited his children several
times during his stay in Winthrop and
always appeared to be in pleasant
frame of mind Saturday he called to
see the little girls, gave them each
dollar snd some candy and then took
them for walk along the shore. There
the shooting occurred.
Mrs Strassburger was Frustrated when
informed of the tragedy. 1t is stated
at Boston that she secured her divorce
on the grounds that Jaeger had threat
ened her life many times. Letters
found in the mans pockets showed that
his act had been premeditated and asked
that his body be cremated and that
the ashes be cast upon the waters from
some ocean liner bound for Germany.

THE GOLDEN GIRL

The Golden Girl, musical play
Of West Point, under the manage
ment of w. p. Cullen opens at the
Ellensburg theatre on Monday night,
Nov. 6. Eunice Breach will be the
girl wooed by the cadets.
The curtain rises on the grounds
at West Point with the stars and
stripes fluttering in the breeze and
the Hudson cleaning between the
palisades in the distance. A dream
scene in which two principal char
acters have visions of the past and
future is chuck full of novelties. JEFF
ferson Carter, the hero has boasted
of his noble ancestry and now sees
them as they really are. The four
branches of his family tree being a
convict, pirate, an anarchist and
loan shark, all of the humorous type
and the girl dreams that she sees
herself married to another, rich
sutton, and turned into a statue of
gold.
The close of this dream is the fin
ale of the second act. A shower
of gold falls upon the ballet in gold
en- trappings surrounded by a gold
en- statue. The finale of the first
act shows two old soldiers, ane a
northern colonel and the other of the
same rank from the south, lowering
the West Point flag at the signal Of
the sunset gun, to the strains of the
Star Spangled Banner. The Golden
Girl is one Of the best scores that
the authors, Mr.. Howard and his CO.
authors, Hough and Adams, COM
posers of the well-known successes,
The Girl at the Helm. Honeymoon
Trail, The Girl Question and many
others. The song hits of the piece
include the well-known II Cant
Love Everybody, II Want to Fight
Like Ma" and twelve more musical
numbers which everybody will be
whistling after the performance. An
added attraction to the already over
stocked piece will be Mr.. Virgil Ben
nett's original version of the Frisco
Frolic, which at the present time Is
the talk of two continents. The
cast includes Eunice Breach, Carlton
King, Virginia Drew, Tom Corless,
John E. Frank and Thomas Meegan,
Victor Kramer and Frank Nielsen,
and the Frolic Beauty chorus. The
orchestra Is under the direction Of
