SLAYER OF HUSBAND

FORT WORTH, Tex, Nov 23.-Mrs.
Lucy Matheson, the Abilene society
woman accused of Staying her husband
at the home of negress in that city
October 5, was acquitted by jury in
the district court this afternoon after
it had the case ten minuees. The case
was submitted without argument.
When the verdict was announced,
the spectators packed in the court
room started demonstration, which
was quelled only by threats of arrest
by Judge Buck. The defendant smiled
when she learned she had been found
not guilty, and said ''It is only what
I expected"
Mrs Matheson pleaded that the kill
ing of her husband was accidental. To-
day she testified that she fired at the

MURDERER TELLS
But MUST WRITE

PARIS, Nov. 23.-This is the tale OF
self-confessed murderer, who wished
to be arrested, as related by writer
in lie Matin.'
Some time ago man named Berges
was stabbed to death at Algiers.
Three men were arrested on suspicion,
but, as they proved their innocence,
they were released and the matter was
shelved.
A few days ago a man called at
the office of the local Police Commits
sary and said to that official:
"My name is Marius Yvorra. l killed
Berges and this is how l did it."
The Commissary listened to the
mans confession and said:
you had better see my secretary"
The secretary also listened to the
mans confession and, after a little
reflection, said:
Nov, look here my good man, this
is not the way to get arrested You
must write us letter confirming the
oral statement made to us. Then we
shall be able to attend to you. Now
get along"
The man left the office and, perhaps,
because he was not a good writer, he
has not since been seen in Algiers.

Through all Of his administrations,
Mr.. Taft has also been unfortunate
regarding his assistants and advisers
even outside the cabinet. He has
suffered from succession Of lncom-
petent or at least impolitic private
secretaries. and, saysgMr. Abbott, is
welllon the waysto add to that list
with the retirement of the wholly
.unlamented c. D. Norton. He
suffers from the stupidity Of his
cabinet officers, notably Hitchcock.

forced fight upon all the magazines
in the country by his proposition to
increase the rates by charging a
special rate on the advertising

Still the president maintains the
even tenor ofhis ways and is far
from being frustrated at the re-
peated predictions of democratic
victory in 1912.

THE TAFT HOOD0O.

If the country did not know other
wise, it might begin to suspect that
President Taft was rinaugurated on

There seems to be some sort of a

House ever ready to manifest itself
when the chief executive of the u.
S. A. comes prominently before the
people.

to be the most popular man in his
party because of his geniality and
his fine address, is in fact one of the
least POPULAR" says Willis J. Alb ott,

1t is not the president who is un-

were being employed,at Red Wing,
that the determination of the legis.

of the conduct of that institution,

Certain it is that if fogging
machines are employed upon the I'm.

right to know it and it isn't likely
that automatic whippers, ifany there

Senator Stephens has not only
done notable work as a member of

and highly respected citizen and
accusations from him therefore de.
serve serious consideration. Of
course he may be mistaken and if he

If China alone is to be considered
in the threatened war, it probably

China's naval force of one frst.class

.Whx; ,Sniders Emit

When two spiders fight there is gen
orally good reason for the attack
and the vigorous defense that follows.
1t is not generally known that after
a certain time spiders become inca
.pable of spinning a web from lack Of
material. The glutinous excretion
from which the slender threads are
spun is limited; therefore spiders can
not keep on constructing new snares
when the old ones are destroyed. But
they can avail themselves of the web
producing powers of their younger
neighbors, and this they do without
scruple. AS soon as a spiders web
constructing material has become ex-
hausted and it's last web destroyed it
sets out in search of another home,
and unless it should chance to find one
that is tenantless battle usually en-
sues, which ends only with the retreat
or death of the invader or defender.
