would only need to labor four hours
instead of twelve or fifteen to- sup
port himself aud family, so rs to
leave IA great amount of time to give
to culture and recreation. The most
important thing for the human be-

ease. In former years, the highest
average length Of life was, in Swed-
en-, 81 years; in New England, II;
In India, 33, and on the gold coast
of Africa, q. The span of life has
been largely increased by the knowl

THE HYDE TRIAL.

Western Press.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 29.-The
cross-examination of Stuart Fleming,
a nephew of the late Col Thomas II
Swope, for whose murder DR.. B. C.
Hyde is now on trial, was resumed by
Attorney Walsh, for the defense, to-
day. The defense prepared to in
terrogate Fleming at length, as the
big feature of Fleming's testimony is
the hope that DR.. Hyde's attorneys
would break him down in his story
that the accused physician went to
Fleming and asked that he be made
the administrator of the Swope es-
tate. 1t had been previously testi-
fed, in this trial, by Miss Pearl Kellar
Col. Swope's nurse, that DR.. Hyde
also sought her aid in the same mat
ter. She gave similar testimony al
the first trial and DR.. Hyde, on the
witness stand, denied emphatically the
nurses statement.

ST. BERNARD DOGS SAVE
WOMEN IN SNOW

GENEVA, Nov. 2S.-A pathetic AL
pine story comes from the Grand st.
Bernard Hospice. Two Italian wom-
men, one aged about so and the other
%, were found by the pass half buried
in the snow and exhausted from ia
tigue and cold. The monks carried
the women to the hospice.
The elder woman on coming around
first--her daughter -in-law is serious
ly Unexplained that her two sons
had been working at Martigny for
several months, but had been sud-
denly called away to the war and
had left them penniless.
The women, who have relatives at
village near Milan, attempted to
cross the st. Bernard pass, as they
could not buy tickets for the railway,
and were only saved by dogs from
the consequences of their rash act.
After a rest in the hospice under
the kindly care of the monks, the
women, it is hoped, will be able to
return to Italy.

A MODERN SOLOMON.

A Milwaukee judge has just i'm
posed a unique sentence. A young
man pleaded guilty in his court to
killing a fellow-workman during a
quarrel between the two. Instead of
sending the murderer to the peniten-
tiaiy this wise Milwaukee judge re-
leased him on parole, with the stipu-
lation that he must support the widow
Of the man he killed.
This may not be law, but IL is jus
tice in the highest sense. If the mur-
derer had been sent to prison his wife
and the widow of the man he killed
would both have been thrown upon the
mercy of the people. AS it is, both
women will be supported, as they
ought to be, and the young man will
have the opportunity to atone in a
useful way for his hot-blooded crime.
