Harry Kennett awoke with a start.
The room was bright. The watch by
his bedside had stopped at o'clock.
He lurched to the window. The sun
was high. 1t was late. He had over
slept as UNANIMOUSLY as neophyte on
his vigil
For all his remorseful impatience
Harry made but slow toilet. A clog
was upon his mind and muscles. He
was sluggish to think and to do. What
then had become of his ardent resolve
to be up betimes to guard and defend
Nance? And what. oh what, would
Abe Cronkite think of him?
The pure air sweeping through the
opposite windows began to revive him
partially. and yet once he stepped
from the direct draft there was that
same strange sickish taste and smell
paralyZing his nerves and making diz-
zy his brain.
At length by desperate will Harry
swayed down the stairs. The stiffness
of desertion prevailed. Only the tall
hall clock gave a note of life. and
from it's solemn refrain of Never
more"
From the stately parlor to the
homely sitting room and through the
inviting dining room he passed CROP
ingly into the kitchen. The kettle was
putting boisterously on the stove. Black
Dinah. the cook. lOlled on the table
with her turbanned head prone among
the pans and dishes.
She was not dead, but as Harry
raised her and shook her again that
strange. sweet, sickish sensation af-
fected him. He dashed cold water. he
rubbed. he thumped. At length the
old woman showed the white of her
eyes.
"Oh. Lordy. the master" she gurgl-
ed. and then stiffened like a corpse.
There came a complaining sound
from the pantry. in which Aunt Anne
ProsS took tutelary pride. and
thither Kennett hastened. On the one
chair between the flour and the sugar
barrel sat the spinster with scoop still
in her hand. She gaped agitatedly
upon the young man.
MY time has come" she whimper-
ed. "Prother Victor himself rose
from the dead to warn me. Oh but /
hate to leave all these things"
where is Nance? Where are the
girls? ," demanded Harry with fine di-
rectnesS. The scoop was raised lit

UsefuI.-A breezy western lumber
salesman stopped at the Walton for a
few days, returning from a trip
abroad. In the course of his second
evening he had made friends with a
dozen men from other cities.
Yes, boys" he said, insisting that
they take wine, Il can well afford to
pay for the bubbles. Why, when /
was in Europe pulled off little deal
that'll net me more than the cost of a
thousand trips over the pond.
you see, trade principally in white
woods free from knots. Of course,
pine knots are waste, only good for
firewood. But just made deal with
Swiss toy factory, and I'll send all
the knots and knot holes r.
What do they use 'em for?" asked
the inquisitive one.
Ear holes for wooden horses" came
back the answer-Philadelp Times.

They went, they went" began Miss
ioross, and then as her head nodded
and her jaw relaxed the scoop fell and
she slept like corpse.
Kennett followed in the direction

held his place and breath at an un.

pale and wan, was gazing intently or

TELLS OF TOBACCO PROFITS
Commissioner of Corporations Smith
Submits Second Part of Report
On That Industry.

Washington, d. C.-Herbert Knox
Smith, commissioner of corporations,
on September 20 submitted the second
part of his report on the tobacco in
dustry dealing with earnings, cap.
italization and investment. In his let
ter of submittal Mr.. Smith says the
report Shows the vast earning power
that arises from substantial control
of large industry. The great tobacco
combination, which centers round the
American Tobacco Co., started in 1899
with $25,000,000 capitalization, operat-
ing only in cigarettes. By 1908 it con.
trolled about four-fifths of the whole
domestic tobacco industry, except
cigars, and it's net capitalization ex-
ceeded $316,0O0,000. This concentra-
ton is the basis of the combinations
great earning power High rates of
earnings have gone with monopolistic
control of the industry, and the less
the degree of control the less the rate.
III 1890 the combinations earnings
were over 1S per cent. on the actual
investment. They rose in 1891 to
more than 81 per cent. 1t was then
operating principally, and with prac-
tical monopoly, in cigarettes. In 1895
came expansion into other branches, a
keen competitive struggle, and a
sharp drop in earnings. But by 1900
the combinations broad domination
of the whole industry took effective
shape. Its earnings from that date
cover the great bulk of the industry
In 1901 they were 13 per cent. in 1903
over Is per cent. and from 1904 to 1908
the average was 19 per cent, or $21,-
100000 yearly. This was the earning
power of f'substantial monopoly, the re-
suit of the concentration above
stated"

SIX ARE MURDERED WITH AXE
Bodies of Three Children, Two Wo.
men and Man Discovered in Two
Adjoining Houses.

Colorado Springs, Col.-The most
atrocious crime in the annals of
Colorado came to light here when
the mangled bodies of three chill
dren, two women and man were
discovered in two adjoining houses in
the northwest part of this city. The
head of each of the victims had been
cut and smashed with an axe until
the brains oozed out and the rooms
were flooded with blood. For three
days the bodies of the murdered lay
in their own blood while the murderer
who welded the axe is still at large.
The victims are:
Mrs. Alice May Burnham, aged "a;
her six year old daughter and two
year old son, found in bed at 1921
West Dale street.
Mrs. Blanche Wayne, aged 45.
Henry F Wayne, aged so, and their
one year old baby, found in bed at
742 Harrison street.
Every circumstance connected with
the crime points to a cold bloded, de-
liberate murder. The murderer en-
tered each house through the back
door, which was unlocked, and used
his axe while the occupants of the
house lay asleep in bed.

REJECT PROPOSED PACT.
CANADIAN VOTERS TURN DOWN
RECIPROCITY AT POLLS.
Eight Cabinet Members Lose in Elec-
tion, Annexation Cry Costing
Them Their Seats.

Montreal, Quebec.-Canada rejects
reciprocity. The latest returns indi-
cate landslide against the treaty.
The Conservative majority in the new
parliament will be at least Al. The
Liberal majority at dissolution was A.
The latest summary Of results stands:
Conservatives 121, Liberals so.
This leaves but 20 readings to be
heard from, western constituencies
largely. Conceding everyone of these
to the Liberal party the Conservatives
would still have clear majority Of IL
in the new parliament.
The election of 10 Liberals is now
claimed by the Nationalists. Most of
these Nationalists are natural Liber-
ais and many of them are pledged to
reciprocity. 1t becomes therefore still
more difficult to forecast the result in
the new parliament if the claims of
the Nationalists are borne out by the
revised returns. Certainly they will
hold the balance of power.
Eight ministers of the Laurier gov
ernment have gone down to defeat, in
Guiding Finance Minister Fielding and
Minister of Commerce Patterson, who
negotiated the agreement at Washing
ton. Other cabinet ministers who
have gone down in the wreck are Nc
Kenzie, minister of labor; Sir Fred
erick Borden, minister of Justice; G..
p. Graham, minister of railways; w.
revenue; Sidney A. Fisher, minister
of agriculture. The seat contested by
r. d. Borden, leader of the opposition
in Halifax, is in doubt. The province
of Quebec is apparently the only one
in the Dominion where Sir Wilfrid
Laurier developed any of his old time
strength. 1t was landslide against
reciprocity in Ontario. The heavy
vote of the cities where the manufac-
turing and financial influence was po-
tent encompassed the defeat of the
pact.
The overthrown premier himself is
elected by acclamation in Quebec east.
Rodolph LemeuX, minister of marine
and fisheries, and Frank Oliver, min
lister of the interior, are the only nota-
BILE figures of the old Laurier ministry
that safely rode out the storm. After
15 years as premier and head of the
Canadian government during which
Canada has enjoyed her period of
greatest prosperity Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier has gone down in defeat. AS he
is in his seventeenth year it probably
means the passing from public life of
this grand old man of Canada, who
also ranks as well as one of the
worlds greatest men. The fear of an
nexation to the United States is the

DIE IN CRASH
NINE OTHERS HURT AS TRAIN
HITS HAYRAck PARTY.
Victims of Accident Were Returning
From Celebration of Wedding An
nversary and Dance.

Neenah, Wis.-Northbound North
western road passenger train No.
121 crashed into a hayrack party
at the Commercial street inter
section here, killing IL persons out
right, injuring one more who died a
few hours later, and wounding nine
others, four Of them perhaps fatally.
Eight occupants of the wagon, includ-
ing the driver, escaped with slight in
juries. Most of the victims were res
idents of Menasha.
The victims of the crash were re.
turning from the Peter Hanson farm,
located on the Dixie road, three miles
outside of Neeah, where they had gone
ten hours previous to attend the cele-
bration Of a wedding anniversary and
dance. Armless, legless and headless
bodies covered the tracks as the train,
nine coaches in length, was brought to
stop 500 feet from the scene of the
crash. Several of the bodies were so
badly mutilated that Identification was
possible by fragments of clothing that
clung to the severed parts.
The Northwestern right-of-way at
Commercial street runs diagonally
across the highway and big bill
board at the side of the right-of-way
in a measure obscured the view Of
pedestrians and drivers. Mist and fog
filled the atmosphere, adding to the
difficulty of seeing the approaching
train. Driver Hanson declares he
made every effort to look in both di-
rections along the track but did not
observe the on-rushing train until his
team had reached the track. He
whipped up the horses but managed
to get the wagon only half way across
the track. The fact that the highway
runs diagonally with the track made
the situation all the worse, the big
engine plowing practically at a 45-
degree angle through the load of hui
man victims. The train was running
at high rate of speed, being nearly
a half hour behind schedule. PTac-
tically every person on the\ wagon
was the employe of the Menasha
Woodenware Co., and all were invited
to the Hanson farm to attend the we'd
ding anniversary of one of their fel'
low employees. Mr.. Hanson had taken
the merrymakers to his farm in the
early evening and was taking them
back home, the round trip being com.
pleted within a miles drive when the
collision occurred.

Toulon, France. = Broken in two
amidship, with the forward part turn
ed upside down by the force of an
Internal explosion, the great French
battleship Liberte, regarded as one of
the finest war vessels in the world,
lies at the bottom of Toulon harbor a
total wreck. OF her crew of 710 men,
316 are known to be dead, and this
list was increased fully 100 by cas-
ualties among the crews of other war
ships in the vicinity when the mag
azines of the mighty battleship ex-
ploded. Most of the latter came from
the. Democratic, the Verite and the
Republique. The latter was SO badly
damaged by masses of falling steel
from the Liberte that she was docked
just in time to prevent her sinking
from a great cash in her starboard
quarter
Most of the men on the Liberte, and
in fact ON the great French fleet gath
cred in the roadstead of Toulon, were
asleep, when shortly after five o'clock
in the morning the call to fire quarters
sounded on the big warship. AS the
men responded to the shrill whistles,
heavy smoke poured up from the rear
part of the vessel.
The smoke and unwonted excite
ment on the Liberte gave the alarm
to the officers on the other side an
chored nearby, and launches were
hurriedly put over the side and men
detailed from the deck watches to aid
the Liberties crew. For a time the
smoke seemed to fade away, and it
was believed the fire fighters were
getting the blaze under control.

AN injury to my spine in early wom-
anhood left me subject to severe sick
headaches which would last three or
four days at time, and a violent
course OF drugging brought on consti-
patton with all the ills that follow.

uncertain and many kinds of food dis
tressed me.
Il began to eat Grape-Nuts food two

stipation, my headaches have practi-
cally ceased, and I am in better physi-
