INSPECTOR eYRNEs' STORY.

When the attention of the officials
in the Adams Express Office in Balti-
more was directed to the trunk
marked John A. Wilson, Baltimore,
Md. To be called for,' by the dis
agreeable odor which emanated from
it, there was a suspicion that some
thing was wrong. The trunk was put
in an open room and was kept for
three days. No one called for it and
the advice Of Chief of Police Frye was
asked.
The trunk was broken open. The
mutilated body Of large-sized man
was found in 1t. There was no head.
The legs and arms, which had been
clearly cut of close to tho body, were
lying on top Of the remains, with q
lot of bloody paper and clothing
around them. The body and frag-
ments were carefully examined for
marks that might lead to an identifi.
cation. All that could be found was
crooked little finger on the left
hand. Matters were at a standstill
so far as the police investigation was
concerned, when the attention of In
spector Byrnes was called to the case.
Il was about going home" said In
spector Byrnes, ION Wednesday aft
ernoon when I received a telegram
from Chief Frye Of Baltimore. A
headless body! That was certainly 4
novelty, and l became greatly inter-
ested. l telegraphed for further in
formation. In the answer were three
important items. The first was the
address of q butcher named Siegel, in
Throop avenue, Brooklyn; the Sec
ond, label Of Wsstcott's Express, in
this city, and third, label OF The
London and Manchester Plate Glass
Company. 73 and Is Wooster street.
Il telegraphed for the trunk to be
sent on at once. l learned that it had
been seen by reporters and concluded
that the fact that l had been notified
would appear IN the papers here on
Thursday morning, and IL it should
meet the eye of the murderer, in case
he had not left the city. he would do
so at once. It was a case Of Jump and
get there. I explained the situation
to Detectives Won Gerichten, Titus
and Mclaughlin, and started them
separately ON the Siegel, the glass
company and the Westcott Express
clues.

company threw. little light on the
mystery, but the Westcott Express

Sewing On Braid.

Braid should be sewed on by taking
a long stitch on the back and a very
tiny stitch on the right side directly
through the braid and down again
Be careful to hold the material
smoothly over the finger. Keep the
braid straight and firm and turn all
corners sharply. You will find when
using soutache that you can work
more rapidly and keep the braid
straight more easily If you use az
embroidery frame.

PLACING Holes for Buttons.

When buttoning or unbuttonfng q
garment, forcing the buttons across
the width of the hole will soon tear
out the latter. For this reason but.
tons with only two holes are better
than those with four and should be
placed SO that their holes will be on
a line with the length of the button.
hole. Some women place buttons with
four holes so that only two holes need
be sewed through. thus making them
last longer than IL all four were used.

Exhibition Of wonderful Progress.


WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. 22.-At
San Diego in 1915, will be shown for
the first time, in comprehensive way,
what has been done to redeem a wilder
ness and make it the most fruitful re-
giOn in the whole world.
From the days when Father Juni-
pero Sierra traversed on foot the length
of what now is California, carrying the
Cross on the gospel of civilization;
from the pathfinding exploits of Lewis
and Clarke, of Fremont, and the Argo-
nauts of 40: from the days Of the rail-
road builders. pushing their cleaning
trail of metal over desert and noun
tain, to this year of our Lord, there
has been waged constantly a battle to
redeem a vast region whose promise
then understood by only few, has
finally become a realization for the
many.
And the realization, while only par
tial. is one which staggers the magma.
ton to comprehend. Millions of PEG.
pie now live in the regions of the far
West, beyond the Mississippi, even be-
yond the great mountain barrier that
nature placed between the fertile val
ley of the Missouri and the golden
sands of the Pacific, in more than com.
fort. This latest-won province wrested
from the grip Of Nature, has proved
winning was difficult, but the reward
has been great.

THE POLITICAL SCRAMBLE.

not longer. some Democrats, flushed
with victory and obsessed with the ito.

giving this country concrete examples
of that which the right-minded citizen
earnestly detests.
Some Democrats probably will re-
sent that remark. We hope they will.
We hope they will stop long enough to
realize how big fools they are making
Of themselves, how their every effort is
tending to destroy that essential upon
which a party's popular favor depends

Granted that as q part of our pc
culiar political governmental device
they are entitled to such preferment,

is in the discretion of some other one

are they showing good common sense,
even fair political discernment, in act
ing as they are?
We do not think so.

Better Yet In 1915.

Vancouver Independent Chronicle.)
1t looks like the Democrats will in
1916 have better reason for pointing
with pride to their administration than
ever before in history. The country is
just entering upon period of pros.
perity the like of which has never
been known. During the present year
greater wealth has been produced In
the United States than any nation on
earth has been blessed with in a SIM
liar period of time. With such a be-
ginning it is almost inconceivable that
any legislation the dominant party can
put through Congress will in any ma
terial way depress business conditions.
The people have demanded a revision
of the tariff downward and they will
get 1t but legitimate business need
have no fears-American industry will
be protected by q Democratic Con-
gress as surely as by a Republican ma
jority. Your Uncle Sam will proceed
on his triumphant way undisturbed
because he can produce the goods to
pay the bills for Democrats and Re-
pubIicans alike.
