Swope and of his nephew, Chrisman,
were taken from the vaults and the
organs removed and sent to Chicago.
Two prominent physicians of the lat
ter city, who made an analysis, tes-
titled in former trials that white
sediment had been found in the
stomach Of both, which they declared
was strychnine.
At about this time Miss Margaret
Swope, who was under the care of
DR.. Hyde. was taken with convul-
sions and another physician hastily
called. He prescribed morphine,
which acted as an emetic. The ex-
pulsion was saved and analysed and
showed strychnine.
This last harassing situation de-
cided the five nurses who had been
engaged to attend the Swope pa
tents. They threatened to relinquish
their positions unless DR.. Hyde was
withdrawn from the case. They
claimed that the same sort of tab
let which had been given to Chris
man Swope and Margaret, the di-
rections to administer emanating
from the same source had produced
the same dire results, except that
Margaret's case had been taken in
hand in time to prevent a third
death. All of the nurses then quit.
Important events followed thick
and fast. One DR.. Stewart had on
November 10 given DR.. Hyde six
cultures, two of which were of ty-
phoid hacilli. When the light broke
upon him that perhaps the keynote
of the mystery might lie in those
cultures, he went to the office of DR..
Hyde to secure their return.
The latter was not there, but he
found a young woman clerk, and to
her DIR. Stewart repeated that he
wished to secure some typhoid Gull
lures, as he had given them short
time before to Hyde. The young

The wisest minds OF all ages have
sought to lengthen human life, but
without much result. From the time
of abraham, three score and ten has
remained the allotted span.
The really practical question for
every one is whether it is not possible
for him to get more out of the flying
years and to do more with them
If we cannot extend our days, can
we not in some other way make the
days of more account? Certainly we
can.
If we cannot make more hours in
our lives, we can at least find more
advantage in the hours we have. We
can put more into them. and by using
them prudently do better than extend
them
There is no modern Joshua to make
the sun stand still on Gideon and the
shadow stop on the dial. But all that
could be gained by making a day
lengtaen would be to get more done
before darkness closed in. For time
unused is valueless to any one.
A strenuous hour in youth or prime
is worth more than year Of old age
to any man.
If. then. we can get more into the
days as they are. make the years that
we have mean more. and crowd more
life into the time that is ours, we get
better results than II we could per-
form the miracle of prolonging life or
making the sun stand still.
The secret lies in the little word
now.
The beginning and the ending of the
worlds greatest endeavors and achieve
ments are comprehended in that little
word.
Now is the secret Of filing our days
to repletion.
All that we are or have, all that we
ever were or had, all that we ever will
be or have, all our dreams, hopes, pos
| sessions, loves, associations are ours
by virtue only of that slender thread
of an instant now.
history have been short in years, but
full of achievement.
According as we use now, our lives

FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER s. 1919.
Wilson Well Pleased
With His Campaign.

Press reports say that Governor
Wilson is well pleased with the first
speaking trips of the campaign and
that the party leaders are arranging
for the candidate to make many more
speeches than he at first intended. In
fact it is entirely probable that within
another week or two, Governor Wilson
will take to the trail in earnest and
make as many speeches each day as
is physically possible. Of course Roose-
welt will keep himself actively en-
gagged in the campaign. The president,
it Is said will not do so. his managers
pleading that it is beneath the dignity
of a president to make many public
speeches.
OF course many people will remem-
Der the faculty President Taft has for
saying the wrong thing at the wrong
time and doubtless the Republican
committee with a keen memory for the
Winona speech and for the Boston
speech fear to have him face the peo-
pie any more frequently than possible.
1t is more from fear that the president
will open his mouth and put his foot
into 1t. rather than official dignity that
is to keep Mr.. Taft off the platform.
1t would not be undignifed for a
candidate for president to meet, shake
hands with and talk to every citizen
OF this country. Every citizen of this
union has right to personally see
and listen to every presidential can
didate. OF course it is a physical i'm
possibility but that is the only real OBJ
lection. Furthermore every citizen of
this government has a right to go to
the White House and see and talk
with the president, whenever he feels
so inclined. provided he does not take
{ too much of the presidents time away
from his official duties.
Throwing halo of dignity and mys-
tf<y around presidential candidate
and thus keeping him as far removed
as possible from the people. naturally
has tendency to keep the admins
tration of such man. if elected. away
from the people.
Neither will the excuse of expe-
diency suffice. If candidate is likely
to make a sufficient number of bad
breaks durings brief campaign to
cause his defeat in all probability he
would make a poor president and his
defeat would be better for the country
than his election. In any event any
r-licy of campaigning that brings the
candidate close to the people and
makes him better acquainted with the
voters, is good.

Kansas City, Sept. 5.-The com
mencement of the third trial of DR.. B.
c. Hyde of this city, on September 3,
marked the beginning of a new chapter
in one Of the most remarkable murder
cases ever tried in the courts of Mis-
souri,.
Two and one half years ago Hyde
was arrested for the murder of his
wife's uncle, Col. Thomas H. Swope.
Col Swope, it will be recalled, died
in commissions on October 8, 1909, af-
ter taking a capsule prescribed by
DR.. Hyde. Later, other members of
the Swope household were taken sud-
denly i'll with typhoid and the
charge was made that they had been
inoculated by the deadly typhoid
bacilli. In February, 1910. Hyde was
arrested on a charge Of murder.
AT the first trial Hyde was con-
victed in the lower court, but the
conviction was overturned and Hyde
given another trial. AFTER the Sec
ond trial had dragged on for many
weeks, one of the jurors, evidently
crazed by his long confinement, made
his escape from the JURY room, and
thus the second attempt to convict
Hyde came to a fruitless end.
Here is the story told by the ac-
cugers of Hyde and introduced by
the prosecution in the physicians
former trials:
In the fall of 1908 DR.. Hyde heard
that Col. Swope was about to change
his will. In the testament which
Swope had previously drawn he had
made generous provision for Mrs.
Hyde, his niece.
On the night of October !, 1909.
James Moss Hunton, an old friend
and confidant of Col. Swope. was
taken sick at the Swope home in
independence, and two hours later
| died in commissions. No suspicion
was attached to his death, as it was
believed that he had been stricken
with apoplexy, and as such the death
certificate was signed by the physi-
clan, who was none other than DR..
Hyde Two days later Col. Swope,
who also was Ill, with chronic stom-
ach trouble, took a sedative, ordered
| by DIR. Hyde, and an hour later died
| In commissions. AS in the case of
Hunton, his death certificate read
| "Apoplexy," signed by the same
| physician.
| In December the Swope household
was attacked by a malady of ty-
sons being stricken, and the death of
Chrisman Swope. Mrs. Logan Swope.
| the mother of the majority of the
stricken victims, then brought about
| an investigation. The bodies of Col.

were and Stewart found the typhoid
culture and discovered that one half
of 1t had been used.
Then followed the arrest of DIR.
Hyde on a charge of murder. He
was given his freedom on furnishing
$4,000 bonds. The first unsuccess-
full trial come on shortly afterward,
and months later the second trial
was commenced.
What will be the result of the
third trial? No one pretends to know
but this much is certain: The ac-

Chivalry
Not Dead Yet.

The sweet old chivalry of poetry and
STORY still exists in real life There
has arisen hero in Hoosierdom who
revives the sometimes tagging faith
in human nature.
This hero's name is Teeters-plain
Teeters. 1t is not a name as sugges-
tive of romance as some others. but it
was good enough for a real hero.
A few years ago. Teeters, a strug-
Cling but worthy young farmer, ran
away with and married the daughter
of a wealthy man in a nearby village
1t was a love match, everybody said;
just the sort to delight all romantic
young hearts.
Children and prosperity came to the
young couple, but the rich wife's
parents never relented. At least. not
until recently. The young wife was
taken Ill, and then her mother came to
her. The affection and forgiveness
that had been withheld so long seemed
to gush forth all at once. Nothine
would do but the sick woman must &c
back to her old home. to receive there
the more tender care than could be
given her in the farm house.
When the husband had reluctantly
yielded he found out his mistake
The parents had decided that their
time for strategy had come. A sum-
mons was served on Teeters to appear
In court and answer to a complaint
for divorce. At the same time an in
junction was served on him restraining

him from visiting his wife, talking to
her or going upon the premises where
she lay i'll. The document further en-
joined him from selling. disposing of or
encumbering his property. His wife
was named as plaintiff in the proceed
ings. He would not believe she knew
anything about It
Here was an amazing situation
Teeters met 1t by driving In his surrey
to the village and to the father-in-
laws house. kicking In the barred door
and knocking aside all who sought to
hinder him until he had fought his
way to his wife's bedside. He asked
her II she wished to stay or go back
home. and she begged him to take her
away with him.
He picked her up IN his left arm and
by vigorously striking out with his
right made his way back to the sur
rey. Then waving his hand defiantly
to half the villagers. who had gathered.
he drove Off home in triumph.
Home! It had become home indeed
now.
In triumph! Yes, for true love had
conquered.
OF course, the sheriff saw no poetry
or romance in this defiance of his
writs. But how can case stand In
court without plaintiff?
People out that way think more
than ever now that 1t was love
match. It is pity there are not more
like 1t.
We hear so much nowadays about
unhappy marriages and divorces that
1t is good for us to be reminded once
in while, in q way so dramatic as
to press the truth home upon us, that
there rs stifl true love in the world
and that man is still chivalrous enough
to defy even the law and all else for
the woman of his heart.
This little incident is ray of golden
sunshine that goes right to the soul.
