miles an hour As he was completing
the circuit he made a dip.
The machine shot down with tre-

plauded, thinking the aviator would
rise, as he had done many times be
fore But Ely seemed to lose his grip,
for the machine continued its down

from his seat In fact, he eleased the
lever altogether and half jumped,

Detectives Intercept Letter Sent by

A letter written by Miss Florence

charged with the murder OF his wife
by giving her cyanide Of potassium
which were made public by Frank A
McDermit, the prisoners counsel, con
tained the following warning from
Miss Bromley
Dear Mac, be careful. You know
what happened to DR.. Crippen, -
The letter was intercepted by pros
ecutor's detectives, opened and read
before it was handed to MacFarland.
He exhibited no emotion upon its re-
ceipt. The detectives also intercepted
a letter from MacFarland to Miss
Bromley, of which, Mr. McDermit
says, the following is a copy:
Dear Bunny--It is a shame, since
our affairs were going so smoothly.
Don't care. The worst is that we can
only die. 1t was probably mistake,
as my wife did not know Of our af-
fairs. She may have done it purpose
ly. MAC"
A batch of letters said TO have been
written by Miss Bromley to the pris-
oner were confscated by detectives at
the MacFarland house. The missives,
they say, overflow with endearing cpl
thets. Of which My dearest BE
loved one. My own" are some. 1t is
said a requisition may be asked for to
secure Miss Bromley as a witness.
Detectives are keeping a close watch
upon MacFarland. No one save his
counsel has been permitted to see
him Mr. McDermit visited him just
before departing for Philadelphia and
said later that he would have a physi-
clan examine the prisoner. He would
not say whether insanity would be
made the defense.
It is asserted by Mr. McDermit that
Mrs. MacFarland heard of her nus
bands asserted relations with another
woman and also that certain iewelry
and silverware worth $1,000 she had
owned mad been sold

of Philadelphia. indicted by the grand
jury for the murder of his wife, they
will depend upon Miss Bromley to
supply a motive for the crime. The
police say that Mrs. MacFarland died
from the effect of poison.
Developments have proved, accord
ing to the police, that MacFarland was
enamored OF Miss Bromley to such an
extent that he was willing a long time
ago to sacrifice his wife and children
to wed Miss Bromley

A ship was wrecked on
the northwest coast of Ire
land; and a mother tried in
vain to persuade her son,
who had volunteered to go
to the rescue of the last man
on board the burning ship,
to give up the perilous task.
She pleaded that father and
brother had never come back
from the sea, and that she
would be left alone if he
were lost. He resisted her
entreaties and put out to the
sinking vessel. When the
boat came back through the
surf the crowds on the shore
shouted, "Have you got your
MANI" The reply came,
"Yes, and tell mother it's
brother William" Are We

The Art Of Crihcising.

Criticism is fair and legiti-
mate. Most of US need to be
hit, and hit hard some times,
principally because we often get
the notion that we have a mon
opoly of wisdom. This is par
ticularly true of those who are
accustomed to have their own
way because for the time being,
they are placed in a position of
authority. But criticism should
be constructive rather than de-
structive. Most any fool can see
the badness and weakness in
men and things. Faults are al
ways glaring. But it takes a
wise man to see the good which
may be covered over by the bad.
Not to judge merely by superfic.
ial appearances requires knowl,
edge. True criticism does moi
necessarily mean a pointing out
of weakness. 1t may be the
discovery of virtue. However
most criticism is of the othel
kind. 1t is just plain. simpl,
knocking. Criticism of anothe
generally acts as a boomeran,
upon the unjust critic, becaus
the critic is most apt to poin
out in another the failing whicl
is peculiarly his own. AS a ger
eral proposition it !is better I
criticise yourself than to wal
until another fellow gets a chanc
to criticise you; and be mercifr
to yourself In your criticism
you expect mercy from another
