ROASTED ALIVE.

Agnes Kone, a farmers wife, At
Gortschach, in Carniols, Hungary,
recently committed suicide in an ap-
palling way. She was the recog.
nized beauty of the district, lived
very happily with her husband and
four children, and was known as an
extremely devoted Roman Catholic.
The other day, on returning from
church, where she had received the
communion, she sent her children
and the servant to her husband, who
was engaged in field work. Then she
kindled a big fire in the oven, light
ed six candles and put them on this
improvised altar, undressed, and
crept into the red-hot oven, where
the husband and children found her
charred body. From note she left
it was found that she had roasted
herself alive in the kitchen oven in a
frenzied desire to die like the
martyrs at the stake.

HIS FEE WAS EXCESSIVE
skllIfuI Dentist Was Not Appreciated
by the Young Farmer Of the
Adlrondacks.

A New York dentist, having re-
covered from a siege of illness, went
up to the Adirondacks for season
of recuperation and rest He got on
so rapidly that he decided to open
an Office there for a few months and
combine business with pleasure. His
speciality was extraction Of teeth, and
so much attention and study had he
given to this branch of his profess
sion that his fame soon spread, as
it had in New York.
One day young farmer came into
the Office with an ill-behaved tooth
that was causing him much misery.
"Better have it out" was the dem
lists advice, so the yokel climbed
into the chair. The molar had
curved root, and to extract it was
a difficult task. There would have
been real trouble had the man with
the forceps not been past master of
his art. With a twist and a sort of
unlocking" movement he had it
out in an instant.
"How much ?"grunted the patient.
dollar" said the dental surgeon.
"a dollar! A dollar for a thing
like thatp howled the farmer.
you're a regular robber. Why, old
DR.. Ginks drags yer all over the floor

AMERICAN PHOSPHATE LANDS.

The phosphate lands which year
OF two ago were withdrawn from
entry for settlement by the federal
government constitute, it is said, the
greatest known phosphate deposits in
the world. These lands comprise
nearly the whole of Uinta county in
Wyoming and portions of Morgan,
Rich and Cache counties in Utah
and of Bear Lake, Bannock, Bing-
ham and Fremont counties in Idaho,
making in all about 1900 square
miles of territory which is more or
less underlain by phosphate rock. Be-
sides these vast natural deposits it IS
pointed out that the gases from the
smelters at Butte and Anaconda,
which are very injurious to vegeta-
ton, may be made to yield sulphuric
acid for the manufacture of super
phosphate fertilizers. - Scientific

TRUTH IS MOTHER OF VIRTUE
In Ancient Mythology She Was Pledge
Of Honesty and 6ulwark
Of Honor.

In the ancient mythology, Truth
was a goddess and the mother Of
Virtue. She wore garments as white
as snow her looks we're serene, pleas
ant, courteous, cheerful, and yet
modest; she was the pledge Of all
honesty, the bulwark Of honor and
the light and Joy of human society.
Such was truth, which in these
days is much abused. We are so apt
to think if we have truth on our side
we have a right to be proud, arbi-
trary and even insolent; but when
we act that way we may be sure that
the truth is not our ally. Truth is
not rude and unkind. 1t does not
bawl and below and shake its fist
under our nose. Truth is friendly,
and when it isn't it is a lie.
There is another thought one gets
from the NEUROLOGICAL faith, and
that is this, that Virtue is the daugh-
ter of Truth. So if a mans life is
presided over by truth, it is necessa-
rily a virtuous and honorable life,
and if it isn't that kind of a life he
may know that it is born of error
and wrong. When we see man at
lacking another or another's cause
with prejudice, hate and angry
words, we turn about and go up
street in sorrow, for that man who
has never learned that there can be
no truth not born of virtue.-Ohio

NO TIME TO PRAY FOR RAIN
Wise Old Negro Slave Knew II Would
Not Come Till the Wind
Shifted.

During slavery times my father
owned splendid negro man who,
however, was rather liberal in his
religious views, and was classed by
his more emotional fellows as a
plumb infdel." There had been a
continued drought, and pious be-
levers, black and white, were to
pray for rain. On Sunday morning
my father found Henry surrepti-
tiously hoeing a bit of late corn
of his cabin, instead of going to
church.
'|I'm surprised, Henry" said my
father. "Why are you not at the
meeting to pray for rain with the
othersY
Henry shifted from one foot to
the other and looked at his master
quizzically.
"Now, Marse George" he said,
apologetically, you know, an l

PRINCESS PLANTED TREE.

When the king and queen of Eng
land, accompanied by the prince of
Wales and Princess Mary, were in
Wales recently they were entertained
at the home of Lord Herbert Vane
Tempest, and while there each one
of the party planted a tree. When
it came the turn of the Princess
Mary she took the spade and worked
so energetically that she threw earth
all over her father and mother and
every one within the proper distance,
but she persevered until her tree
was planted.

Lisbon, Portugal, July 90 via Bad

invasion by Captain Couciere, at the
head of the royalist forces, appears
imminent. All attention is now fixed
on the north. The Portuguese mon
srchists possess thousands of rifles
OF the latest pattern, smuggled into
Galicia, Spain, from Germany and Bel.

Spain is Blamed.
Lisbon, Portugal, July 2l.-The mon
archists remain on the Spanish from.
tier, conspiring openly against the re.
public.
Notwithstanding the continued as
surances Of the Spanish government
the royalists daily hold military drills
and practice rife shooting in the
large private estates and among the
hills of Gaficia.
Influential opinion is convinced that
the Spanish government is secretly
protecting the Portuguese plotters in
Galicia and the press has begun a
bitter campaign against Spain, alleg.
ing bad faith.
The provisional government is anx.
ious and censorship is strict.

Austin Texas, July 21.-Leaders of
Democracy, and widely scattered
throughout the great state of Texas,
are coming out in interviews advocat-
ing Governor Woodrow Wilson for the
Democratic nomination for presidency.
From the Panhandle to Brownsville,
Texas, from Texarkana to Ell Paso,
Wilson's supporters are growing in
numbers. 1t is true that Roger c. Sui
livan, of Illinois, visited San Antonio
and Texas last fall, and it is said laid
wires for the purpose of .aving the
Texas delegation instructed for Cover
nor Harmon of Ohio. But since then
the Wilson star is in the ascendency.
Judging by the attitude of the press
of the state, Texas is enthusiastically
pro-Wilson.

investigation today when G. F.Wiehe.
one of the central figures in the pres
ent hearing before the senate Lorimer
committee, testified that $1,000 had
been asked of him as the price Of a
copy of the list Of contributors to the
Taft campaign fund in 1908 on file in
Albany. He testified that he had
been informed by telegram from
either the secretary of state, or his
office, that the list consisting of 1928
pages had been destroyed, but later
an offer to furnish 1t for $1,000 was
made. Wiehe explained that he want
ed to know If Cyrus H. Mccormick
had contributed to the fund, but said
he did not consider the Information
worth $1,000. "Do you mean to say
there are 1928 pages of contributions
to the Tagt campaign fund.-" asked

candidate on the ticket opposed to
Taft. Eyes SIR replied the witness.

both the Senate and House, on the

La Toilette Jumps on Newspapers.
Washington, July 21-Assailing the
press of the United States for its sup.
port of the Canadian reciprocity bill
Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin
made his closing speech against the
bill in the Senate today. He ex
pressed the belief that newspapers
would suffer loss of influence for the
support they have given to legislation
in which he said: "They have direct
money interest. The press has failed
in its duty to the public in regard to
this legislation he said.
Mr.. LaFollette referred to testi
mony given before the finance commit
tee of the Senate that newspaper or
ganization had sent out communica
ton to many papers urging them to
treat favorably the reciprocity agree
ment. He deplored the attitude Of
the newspapers.
"We have Senators on this floor who
are bankers" said Senator LaFollette
Senators who are woolen manufac
turers and cotton manufacturers, Sen
ators who are interested in lumber and
mines. Let no newspaper hereafter
assail any Senator because he sup
norts legislation in his own peculiar
interest,

stake.

the Senator from Wisconsin" retort
ed Hitchcock, "for- advocating a dut!

Senator LaFollette said that he die

would propose measure in that in
terest as a direct tariff measure. He
objected to the reciprocity bill, he
said, because the newspapers would
get free paper at the expense of the
farmers, whose duties on their pro

STATEWIDE PROHIBITION
ELECTION IN TEXAS.
Saloon Forces Confident They Will
Carry Lone Star State To-
morrow by $4,000 Majority.

San Antonio, Texas, July 21.-All
Texas is now in the throes of an cleo
ton to decide whether state wide pro-
hibition shall obtain or not. The last
legislature passed a joint resolution
submitting this important question to
a vote of the people. This vote will be
cast tomorrow. Orators advocating
statewide prohibition and other ora
tors vigorously opposing this meas
ure are going up and down the state,
and the contest is the paramount topic
of interest. Among the foremost ora.
tors opposing state wide-prohibition
is Governor O. B. Colquitt; opposing
him in this, in favor of state wide pro-
hibition is former Governor T. NJ.
Campbell. Both sides, of course, are
claiming the victory. The advocates
of state wide prohibition point out
the fact that the majority of the coun-
ties of Texas, especially of the popu-
lous north Texas counties, are dry.
The anti-prohibitionists, on the 9th.
er hand, assert that many of the vot-
ers in these dry counties are firm
believers in local option but bitterly
opposed to state wide prohibition. The
anti-prohibitionists are making their
fight along the lines of local self gov
ernment, declaring that local option
and the proper regulation of the liquor
traffic is the true and effective solu-
ton of the problem; that state wide
Prohibition is economically unsound
practically ineffective, and morally
wrong since it does violence to the
genius of American government. They
are claiming the victory by specific
majority of $4,000.
