from his pen rendered himself obnox-

ing came to the prison for its load of
those that were that day to be butch
cred, Schlaberndorf's name was on the
list OF the condemned. The jailer in
formed him that such was the case,
n the writer dressed himself for his
last ride very nonchalantly and-he
was extremely fastidious as to his per-
sonal apprenticeship great care.
HIS boots, however, he could not find.
Here, there, everywhere, assisted by
his jailer, he looked for them to no
avail.
Il am quite willing to be executed"
said he to the jailer, after their fruit
les search, but really I should be
ashamed to go to the g%uillotine with
out my boots. Nor do l wish to de-
tain this execution party" he added,
smiling grimly. "Wtll 1t make any
difference If my execution Is deferred
until tomorrow? By that time I shall
probably succeed in finding my boots"
Il don't know that 1t will matter
particularly when you are gu%illotined."
responded the functionary, between
whom and Schlaberndorf there had ex-
listed a sort of friendship. Suppose
we call it tomorrow, then?"
All right" and the jailer allowed
Schlaberndorf to remain, not unwil-

humor he was especially liked by all
the Jail attendants.

the news that the barn on the farm
OF A. X. Colwell, four and one

were pressed into service and soon
a crowd Of people were rushing to
the scene of the fire. Nothing
could be done to save the building
the large granary attached to
the barn and both were destroyed.
All of Mr.. Colwell's work harnesses
and considerable farm machinery
were also burned. There was
about 100 bushels of grain in the
granary and much of this was
saved after the building was burn
cd although it was somewhat dam
aged. The buildings and contents
were insured in the German Farm
er's Mutual Insurance Co., and on
the following day the loss was ad-
justed and insurance amounting to
Sl,338 was promptly peid. This
will be quite a help in replacing
the barn, but il will come far short
Of covering the loss. The origin Of
the fire 10 unknown.

JAPANESE SORRY
TREATIES FAIL ED
MODIFICATION OF ANGLo-JAP
X TREATY PROVES FRUlTLEss;
PARIS COMMENT.

Toxic, March 1.-THE fate of the
general arbitration treaties In the
United States senate has caused great
disappointment here. Deep regret Ia
expressed by many influential person
ages here that Japan gave her frie'd-
ly consent to the modification Of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance by the intro
duction Of article four, which says:
Should either high contracting par
ty conclude q treaty Of general arbi-
tration with third power, It is agreed
that nothing in this agreement shall
entail on such contracting party an
obligation to go to war with the pow
er with whom such treaty of arbitra-
tion is In force"
This friendly action by Japan, it is
pointed out, proves fruitless.
Paris Gives View on Treaties.
Paris. March 1.-THE action OF the
United States senate on the question
Of the arbitration treaties Is regarded
in semi-off1cial circles here as tanta-
mount to their rejection. There is
some hope, however, that new negotia-
tions may be bgun and that at q lat
ter period the United States senate
may restore the general arbitration
treaties with Great Britain and France
to form which will be worth while.
The French foreign Office says there
is no truth in the report which has
been published that Juan Jules Jusser-
and, the French ambassador at Wash
ington, Is about to be transferred.
