POLICE TRAIL
 TRAIN BANDITS

Seattle, Wash, December 5.-The police are convinced that the two men who robbed the mail car of the Northern Pa cific east bound, North Coast limited as it was leaving Seattle last night and shot and seriously wounded Harry o. Clark, one of the mail clerks, are still in Seattle. The two men arrested at Kent do not answer the description given by Clark and Charles Reid, the other clerks. Evi- dence is accommodating that two other men answering the description of the bandits left the mail car as the train slowed down for the crossing at Argo, suburban sta tion.
 A report received from Kansak, east of Auburn, where the robbery was discov- cred, said that Clerk Reid had checked over the mall pouches and found little missing beside the valuable registered packages in Clarks valise, which was stolen. The transfer clerk at the King street station said he gave Clark 20 of these packages just before the train started.
 Mail Clerk Clark was unabel to speak and refused to go to the hospital until he had made his report. which he wrote while blood was dripping from his mouth, spattering the paper.

 Tt is sort of a funny fad,' she said, rocking at me inquiringly. Happy clothes, of course, means the clothes that you have been happiest in. Pretty idea isn't it?

 This was almost too sentimental for me, and yet I am largely addicted to that quality. Anyway I said:

 "Oh, it's easy enough once you under stand" she exclaimed. q never could get up any enthusiasm over coin and stamp collections, and all that sort of things. They seem so impersonal and commercial somehow. But happy clothes collections are so different. I began mine when I was at boarding school My room- mate one evening after we came home from a party held up a tattered little old frock and dirty pair of gold slippers, and f1inging them on the bed, said: Mercy, but have been happy in them!

GOES INSANE AND
 KILLS HIS WIFE

Pensacola, Fla, January 5.-Temporary ending to nearly 50 years of almost ideal married life. William Morgan, an aged and wealthy stock raiser, cut his wifes throat with a pocket knife, bringing death in a few seconds. Then standing above her body, with the open knife gripped in his hand, he cried out: T wish were dead too!'
 The insane mans cry was futile threat, for he did not take his own life and is under arrest today.
 The tragedy occurred just after dark within sight of the lights of Morgans S beautiful home one of the finest in this section. His wife had slipped out of the house in terror at her husbands queer behavior. She was almost within reach of escape. when Morgan noticed her de- parture and dashed after her. Within a few steps of the house he overlook her.
 Morgan Is 70 years old, his wife was 65, and it was said for years not cross word had passed between them
 Morgan was placed in jail here this morning pending the result of the coro- ner's investigation, which is being held at Moline, Is miles west of Pensacola where the tragedy occurred. Throughout the day Morgan paced his cell moaning, T wish I were dead" No statement has been secured from him concerning his deed
 The coroner's jury verdict was that Mrs. Morgan came to her death at the hands of her husband and he was or dered held for action of the grand jury.

DIX PLANS TO SAVE
 MONEY FOR STATE

Albany. N. Y, January 5.-At least M,000.000 a year is the sum that Governor Dix expects to save the state through the adoption of economies he recommended 10 the legislature today. Suggestions for retrenchment by abolishing some state offices and consolidating others consti- tuted the principal recommendations of the message.
 Both houses after electing their per- permanent officers for the sessions took a recess until January F. Charles F. Mur- phy, leader of Tammany Hall. returned to New York this evening In the ab- sence of legislators little if any campaign ing will be done here during the recess by the various candidates for the United States senatorship.
 Governor Dix in his message said: "A startling tendency of late is to increase annual expenditures both of moneys raised by taxation and of moneys bor- rowed by the issue of bonds
 Excessive taxation" he said, 'is next door to scriminality, for it inevitably breeds extravaganza, waste and criminal corruption"
 The proposed amendment to the federal constitution permitting the imposition by Congress of an income tax is recommend ed by Governor Dix.
 Election of United States senators by popular vote is also favored.

 HAS NEW ENEMY

Atlanta, January 5.-Atlanta ento- mologists are puzzling over a strange bug which threatens to devour the supplies of the national guard of Geor- gia. Already, according to Inspector General O'Bear, the insect has made serious inroads upon supplies and the army of the state appears powerless to check it. While making an in- spection at the capitol Wednesday Gen eral O'Bear discovered that the insect as yet unclassifed had feasted upon wooden parts of a lot of picks and spades, rendering them useless.

daughter of the house. There Is no fam fly life as we understand it, no gayety, nc chaff, no joy of living. All that the great masters of the world have fash toned for us in art and literature does not exist for these people. They are like corpses going drearily through the mere semblance of life.
 Who they are, and what do they get
 out of life? I will tell you secret. All these hundreds and hundreds of nice
 houses are inhabitated by the tired Amer
 ican business man and his family Every
 morning at 7:30 he drags himself from his weary couch, and after a breakfast
 much too heavy for his needs, he goes to that dreadful region of the city called downtown where he begins his daily
 round of business at 9 o'clock, and con- tinues 1t until 5 or 6. Nothing but busi-
 ness, business all day long. For, as he will tell you. competition, like fiend, is always at his Hanks, driving him on, or telling him with alluring gestures that the great natural resources of the country
 must be developed.
 .Is this necessary and inevitable? q have seen something of the young men of our country I have often played
 with my orchestra at Princeton. Cornell, and in the universities of Illinois, Cali fornia, Oregon and so on. have looked into thousands of their enthusiastic young faces, manly, beautiful, and with many ideals Must they all endure the same fate? Is this curse of the country so powerful that they must all become for
 ever and aye, Tired American Business Men?' Can nothing be done to lift that fatigue from the tired business mans
 heavy eyes and brow? Must his first smile
 of content appear only as he snuggles into his coffin with the blissful certainty that he can at last, sleep without that terrible round of work devoted only to
 money getting beginning again the next day?"
 He suggests as a remedy the chamber concert, which, he says, is not only as a
 cure for the T.. B. M. but is wonderful for cementing and strengthening family ties. Chamber music. be it known, pos
 scsses wonderfully rich literature by the greatest masters and is intended to be performed in the home primarily. but.

Convention Interests Farmers

Lexington, January 5.-Farmers or-i ganizations in many sections of the. country are watching the convention of tobacco growers of Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana and Missouri. which met here today to organize for the purpose of ot ttainilg better prices for their crops ahd 10 decide whether a crop shall be grown in 1911 or wheth- CT no more white burley tobacco shall be planted until 1912 or later. The dis tricts from which the delegates came produce only white hurley tobacco, which is in demand for the highest grades of smoking and chewing tobac- cos, and these states are the only ones in the union that produces this par ., ticular tobacco. They grow annually over 300, 900, 900 pounds and nearly 1Oo.- 900 growers will be affected by what ever the convention decides upon.
