WARDwELL's FABLE.

Pembina Pioneer Express: Once
upon time nve men started on
journey in an automobile. They pro-
crossed very well for time, but after
WHILE the automobile began to slow
up, as the lightning thingumbob SEEM
ed to fail IN ignlting the carburnlng-
ators or something OF that sort. Later
the automobile came to a dead sfop.
The shower still kept bis hands on the
steering wheel and moved the front
wheels back and forth but the car did
not so ahead. The other man on the
front seat took out his pipe and Esnok-
ed. One OF the men on the back seat
happened to have a newspaper in his
pocket and took the time TO read. The
other two men played seven-up with
pack Of cards that happened to be in
the pockets of one OF them. The car
still remained where it had stopped.
When night came the men stretched
out as best they could on the seats and
when they woke the next morning the
auto was still in the same place on the
highway. The man on the front seat
got on q farmers wagon that was
passing by and rode away. The man
with the newspaper having read his
paper through twice. got out and
walked back TO town. The other two
men kept on playing seyen-up, which
never grows old because one always
has chance of turning up a jack.
Five days later two hobos came that
way afoot and found all three men
dead in the dead automobile. Two
with hands or cards but no jack turn
ed up on the deck and the dead SHOW
er stiIl had HIS hands on the steering
wheel. The trarps looked over the
auto and found the gasoline tank emp
ty. One tramp went to q house. not
far away and begged gallon OF gaso-
line while the other tramp tossed the
dead men into the ditch and covered
them with grass, but did not stop to
erect a monument to their memory.
The first tramp poured the gasoline
into the tank and then one took the
wheel while the other turned the crank
and away they went and perhaps they
are going still.
Moral.-There isn't any moral to
this fable. Those men were simply
fools. But IL the reader will go over
the fable again and use the words
town" or city in place OF the word
"automobiIe." instead of Five mem
say 900" men and the fable will be-
come true story of some towns or
cities When the town stops progress,
some will smoke. some play cards.

by the last legislative assembly. con-
stitutional, and after the defense had
made an offer of evidence. the case Of
DR. e. L. Reynolds was submitted to

peal had been anticipated.

iations Of the law, it being commended
that he had held himself out as q ply

Boos appeared in court and pleaded
guilty to having disposed of some
wheat on which the county held a lien
for seed. Judge winchester sentenced
him to a fine of $50 and permitted

to pay the fine as soon as he could
earn the money.

fmbursed for the loss sustained by the
illegal sale negotiated by Boos. but
the judge imposed the fine because
Z the law had been violated and to serve
as warning to others who might at
tempt TO take advantage of the coun-
ty In this seed grain matter.

NURSE RELATIVE OF SCHENK
Woman Detective Who Lured on Ac-
cused wife Reveals the Fact
in Court

Wheeling, w. Va.-The cross-exam-
nation Monday of Miss Elinor Kline,
the detective nurse who swore that
Mrs. Laura Farnsworth Schenk had
offered her $1,000 to give a poisoned
pill to her millionaire husband John
O. Schenk. failed to break her dam
aging story.
Attorney Samuel o. Boyce, who is
counted one Of the cleverest barris-
tiers in West Virginia, hurled trapping
questions and bitter sarcasm at Miss
Kline for six hours. He denounced
her as a ''mercenary" who had de-
liberately lied to Mrs. Schenk to gain
her confidence. An occasional effort
to make the witness contradict her
self brought out new statements that
were damaging against the defendant
A curious revelation, made at the
beginning of the session, was that
Miss Kline is distant relative of the
Schenk family. although she didn't
know it herself until she came from
Pittsburg to Wheeling TO try to catch
Mrs. Schenk in the act Of giving her
husband poison.
1t came out fol the first time that
Miss Kline had been arrested with
Mrs. Schenk as a legal trick and locked
up with the defendant in order to
gain further condolences the latter
might volunteer
"T said to her." testified the detec-
tive nurse. telling of the arrest, oh.
Mrs. Schenk, what have you gotten us
into? What will they do if they find
that you and l planned to poison Mr..
Schenk?"
oh, shut up, you fool" Mrs. Schenk
replied. You can lie out of 1t; don't
tell anything; just keep quiet"

Rotterdam. "A discharged naval
cook named Sigrist entered the Rijks
museum and with knife deliberately
slashed and badly damaged Rem
brandt's most famous picture, The

Sigrist, who was arrested, declared
that his vandalism was an act Of VEN
geance against the state because of
his discharge from the navy.
The cuts traverse the principal fig
ures of Captain Franz Banning
Cocq's company Of Arquebusters, but
art experts who later viewed the
work expressed the opinion that the
damage was not beyond repair.
The mutilated painting is classed as
the most ambitious effort of Rem

one that rivals it in style and beauty
being the celebrated Anatomical

MAY DEFEAT PENSION BILL
SENATE MANAGERS FURIOUS
OVER HOUSE ACTION.
Il Is Said If Measure Becomes Law
Deficit Will Pile Up
Rapidly.

WASHINGTON. - The action of the
house in passing the pension Dill
adding $1,000, COO to the rolls has
aroused the fury of the managers OF
the senate.
This was done in increasing the
amount of pensions paid under the Ola
age pension law, the increases being
so great that the bill as sent to the
senate carries a new appropriation Tor
an amount in excess OF all that mas
been saved through careful manlpula-
ton and obedience to the demands OF
the president, in the army, the navy
and the treasury departments. II TINS
bill becomes a law as passed by the
house, senators say it Will be imposs1-
BILE to show any saving at this session
of congress and the deficit will con-
tinue to pile up at an amazing rate.
1t is known that President Taft is
opposed to the increase provided Tor.
He believes the pension laws as they
stand are more than generous. Expert
ence has shown that where there is a
meritorious case it is not difficult to
pass special act caring for that par
ticular case
Unless there is a radical change in
the sentiment of the senate the bill
will not be passed. One senator, dis
cussing it, said this measure had been
condemned more in the cloak and com
mittee rooms than any bill the house
has sent over in years.
