What should he do? The foreign
prince was just opposite and to put
down his hand and not salute was
unthinkable, but at the same time
could flesh and blood, and an officer
of the law, too, deliberately allow
himself to be robbed and ruined? His
desperate state of mind was shown
in the trembling Of that hand. which,
however, stayed glued to the forehead
while the precious purse was slowly

SQUIRRELS EAT KANSAS CORN.
Order Protecting Them Is Resented
by Some Farmers.

Salina, Kan.-When Prof. l.. l..
Dyche announced the other day that
farmers and their friends who killed
squirrels for the protection of the
growing corn crop would be arrested,
he changed the plans of number of
the farmers of Saline county and a
number of men in Salina who enjoy
squirrel hunting. The present sum-
mer has been an unusually favorable
one for young squirrels and the woods
along the rivers and creeks in this
county are-full of them. They are be-
coming quite a pest and many of the
farmers had invited their friends out
for a hunt.
"The quirrels destroyed fifty BUSH
els of corn for me last year" Scott
Mongold, farmer on the Smoky Hill
river seven miles south of Salinas,
said. "They are going to do the same
thing this year, only their damage
will be much heavier because of the
increased numbers"
"Any man is perfectly welcome to
hunt squirrels on my place said
Charles H. Brown, who lives on the
river five miles south of town. There
are hundreds of them in the wood
| and the cornfield along the river is be-
| ginning to show that the squirrels ar
| at work almost before the coarn i
| in the roasting ear"

had their origin in Piedmont and
about whom so much has been said
during the Camorrist trial.
The other day a company Of them
was drawn up outside the railway
station for the arrival of a royal
prince. The prince appeared at the
door Of the station and all hands were
raised in salute when a carabineer
felt a little tug at his pocket. Then
he felt another stronger pull and re-
membered with anguish that all his

TO DECLARE ELOPER DEAD.
Wife Wants to Realize as Widow on
Life Insurance

Allentown, Pa-Frank Jacobs an
Allentown attorney acting for Mrs.
Laura L. Haas, filed a petition in the
Lehigh county courts to have declar-
ed dead on NoUHmber 9, 1911, at p.
m, her husband, Charles C. Hass. In
the spring of 1908 Allentown had one
of its star sensations in the disap-
pearance of Mr.. Haas, who eloped
with a girl of II, leaving practically
penniless his wife with four baby
daughters. The sensation was all the
greater for the reason that he was
looked upon as a model young man,
active in church and Sunday school
matters, and highly successful in his
butchering business.
1t was discovered upon investiga-
tion after his. departure that he had
the day before hurriedly realized on
various assets and that he had left
with about $4,000. There were rumors
that he had been seen with the girl
in Philadelphia various parts of the
west and in Mexico, but all these
proved false clews.
The petition to the courts asks thai
if no news be heard of him by No
vember ., the missing man be declar
| ed legally dead and letters of admin
,stration son his estate begranted t.
the petitioner.
Having a family of daughters L
support Mrs. Haas makes this as tn
first move to realize on the life in
surance policies Of her missing hus
band.
