GERMAN DIPLOMAT KILLS
SWEETHEART AND SELF

Berlin, Oct. 4.-Baron Won Roden,
the newly appointed German minis
ter TO Abyssfdia, committed suicide
yesterday after killing his sweetheart,
a dressmaker named Pirschke. Won
Roden had been German consul al
Lemberg and was talented and am
bilious and expected rapid advance
ment, but detection over the prospect
of separation from his sweetheart
seems TO have outweighed the attrac-
tons of diplomatic success.
1t is known that the girl wished
TO marry the baron for 13 years. but
her parents refused their sanction 10
what they regarded as misalliance,
Before killing himself, the baron
wrote TO his parents, asking their for
giveness, and saying that life had no
further interest for him.

BLACKBIRD HAS SENSE

There's some common sense even In

dusky feathered fiiers have been
demonstrating each day that they OBJ
serve hours of labor just as strictly as
any workman In town.
Living In the big aged trees on
Bethany College campus are thou

they perch In the topmost branches OF

break they leave their homes and fly
In great numbers to the east side OF

In the fields at the outskirts OF town.
But they don't work. overtime, not
these birds. Each evening at exactly
six o'clock the leaders fly west to
their homes at Bethany grounds again.
The leaders are followed by hundreds
OF other birds OF the black wing. They
fly in straight line several blocks in
length. Many persons in Topeka
have been watching the birds for
some time and have observed that
they never fail to return from their
days work at the same time each

The present movement In China for
the abolition of the queue is encour-
aging the statisticians to show the
Chinese what a saving 1t will be to
them. IL seems the combing and
braiding of the queue takes every day
fifteen minutes Of the best hours of
every man In China, and perhaps
twice that much Of the barber's time.
Although time is cheap In China, ii 10
worth on the average at least 5 pence
q day. and so every mans queue costs
him about half penny a day. Multi
ply this by the number Of males above
Is In the country-say 100,000,000-
and by the number of days in the
year, and you get about f73.000.0 900.
Besides this cash value of time saved
the actual cost of the material used
must also be taken into account. A
moderte estimate of the sum spent
every year by each individual on
queue cords. etc., Is 94,000,000 per
annum for the whole country. 1t Is
also reckoned that the queue short.
ems the life of a mans coat or gown
by about one-tenth, and another e..
100000 would be saved on this head.
There would be other economies. too;
but these alone would mean a saving
of S1.000,000 year. II seems the
wearing Of the queue Is quite mod
ern thing. 1t was insisted on In 1644
by the Manchu conquerors. and was
resisted to the death by many Chinese
patriots. Just as many now, probably,
would resist its abolition.

MAY BEAT PAGERS RECORD
Track Leads Horseman to Be-
Ileve New Mark ls Likely.

:, .Uhlan's feat In trotting a mile In
2:04A over half mile track is In
some respects the most wonderful per-
formance that has ever characterized
the American trotting turf One-quar.
ter of this great mile was trotted In
80 seconds by the son OF Bingen. two
others In 81 seconds each and the
final one in 30% seconds. Possibly
some other trotter will appear that
will be able to lower this half mile
track record set by Uhlan. but it will
not be soon.
The performance at Goshen will
open the eyes of horsemen generally
as to the kind of a record Uhlan
will set some day this year when he
makes an attempt to lower the worlds
record for trotters over mile track.
How fast the black gelding will go un-
der perfect conditions Is a mere mat
ter of conjecture, but It Is safe to say
that opinion on the subject Is vastly
different now than 1t was before the
horse turned the Goshen track twice
In 2:02X.
Before that 1t was generally thought
he might beat the 1854 of Lou Dill
ION. Now it Is question OF now
much he will beat the mark set by tha
laughter of Sidney Dillon when she had
the assistance of preceding pace
maker drawing a sulky equipment
with a dust or dirt shield. One of
the men who did not need Uhlan's Co
shen performance to convince him Of
Uhlan's superiority over any other
trotter is the veteran trainer Ed F..
Geers.

How England Crows

A great deal of interest is taken IN
England in the question OF coast pro-
lection. The ocean, assailing the
cliffs, gradually tears them away, but
this very process furnishes a defense
for the land by building up long beach,
es Of sand and shingle which arrest
the waves before they can attack the
cliffs. An effort Is making to prevent
or better regulate, the removal of this
material for construction and road
building, because In many places its
removal has permitted the sea freely
to exert its power of erosion.
The Ordinance Survey has ascer-
tanned that in the last thirty-five years
England has lost 5000 acres by sea
erosion, and gained $4,000 acres
through reclaiming land the existence
of which is mainly due to material
brought down by the rivers.--From the

The Bitter Fruit.


Fortune had a hearty contempt for
persons who ate their breakfast in
bed. For her the glory Of the day was
the fresh fairness of the morning,
when every ones step was buoyant,
and all life stirred theoretically. There
was cheer and hope everywhere; men
faced their labors with clear eye and
feared nothing; women sang at their
work. It was only at the close Of day
that despair and defeat stalked.. the
highways. So she was up with the
sun, whether in her own garden or in
these odd and mystical cities. Thus
she saw the native as he was, not as
he later in the day pretended to be,
for the benefit of the Feringhi about
to be stretched upon the sacrificial
stone She saw, with gladness. the
honey-bee Thrilling the rose, the plow-
mans share barring the soil; the morn
ing, the morning, the two or three
hours that were ALL all her own. Her
mother was always irritable and petu-
lant in the morning, and her uncle
never developed the gift OF speech till
after luncheon.
She had the same love OF prowling
that lured Ryanne from the beaten
paths. She was not inquisitive but
curious, and that ready disarming
smile of hers opened many portal.
She was balancing upon her gloved
palm, thoughtfully, Soudanese head
trinket, pendant Of twisted gold
wires, f1awed emeralds and second
pearls, really exquisite and not gen.
orally to be found outside the expen-
sive shops in the European quarters,
and there infrequently. The merchant
wanted twenty pounds for it. Fortune
shook her head, regretfully. It was
far beyond her means. She sighed.
Only once in a great while she saw
something for which her whole heart
cried out. This pendant was one of
these.
81 will give you five pounds for it.
That is all I have with me-"
"Salaam, madame" said the jeweler,
reaching for the pendant.
eff you will send it to the Hotel Sc
miramis this afternoon - But
she faltered at the sight Of the mer-
chants increduloUs smile.
It'll give you ten for it; not a pias-
tire more. I can get one like it in the
Sharia Kamel for that amount"
Both Fortune and the merchant
turned.

weeks, yet she accepted his sudden ap-
pearance without question or surprise

BARABOO MEN
IN TRAIN WRECK

West bound Northwestern passenger
train NO. 507, in charge of Engineer
Charles " right and Fireman E. e.
Paddock, both of Baraboo, crashed in
the rear end of a string of box cars at
1915 o'clock yesterday at Medary,
near La Crosse. The train was travel
ing at full speed and one box car was
totally demolished and the engine
damaged almost beyond repair. Mr..
Wright suffered fractured leg and
Mr.. Paddock sustained a sprained
ankle.
Concerning the wreck the La Crosse
Tribune says: A clear track was sig
nailed at Medary as the train approach
ed, running at top speed to make up
lost time. A switch leading on to a
side track, upon which the box cars
were standing, which should have
been closed, was opened, thus sending
the passenger onto the siding instead
of the main track.
Engineer Wright, Immediately re-
versed the levers and throwing on the
brakes, waited for the crash.
Wright was hurried TO La Crosse on
the passenger train, switch engine
being pressed into service to replace
the damaged engine. He was taken
to the La Crosse hospital and latest
reports are that he will recover. The
fireman remained at Medsry and will
be taken to Baraboo on the next east
bound train.
Officials of the road at Baraboo, up-
on receiving word of the accident, inn
mediately ordered an investigation.
