collision with motor car driven by
DIR. and Mrs. II. A. Kelley of Con-
gTess street. Portland. A load of may

Kelley directly behind. When the ba-
hill, met the load of hay, the driver,
not seeing the machine behind the
load, turned out at the same time that
DR.. Kelley, from the other side, turn
ed his machine and head-on collision
followed. Both DIR. and Mrs. Kelley
were thrown. The doctor was unhurt
but Mrs. Kelley received several cuts
and was badly shaken up. Their ma
chine was damaged considerably.
Drifting about in the channel near
Little Diamond. Portland harbor, a

by Officers Reuben Johnson and
Horace Soule who were cruising about

Catching Lions.

You know what a ferocious, powerful
beast the lion is. And you can gine
what strong chains ii would take to
hold him fast. SO, can YOU even inn
agine a lion captured with fly paper?
Well, not SO very long ago. four huge
man-eating lions were taken in that
manner at the village of Gwallior. in
India.
1t happened that the head of the viii
lage was able to shut the four lions
np in hut into which they had ven-
tured in search of prey. He kept them
thus barricaded for nearly two weeks,
no one being willing TIC attempt to
capture them. Finally he thought of a
scheme that proved as successful as 1t
was original.
He had thousands of sheets of fly
paper spread on the ground before the
entrance of the hut Then. suddenly.
the barricades were lifted and the four
lions came bounding out-into the fly
paper. OF course il stuck to their paws.
and of course when they tried to lick
it off it became stuck fast to their
faces, their heads The lions promptly

Then the head man and his followers
rushed forward with long ropes, lassoed

CONDENSED DISPATCHES,

Fire broke out in the buildings of the
Milwaukee Chronic Insane Asylum at
Milwaukee, Wis, shortly after mid
night, Thursday, and scenes of dis
order followed among the 300 patients,
who rushed to the windows, smashed
the glass. fought back the guards and
for time had complete control of
the place. A squad of parolled pa
tlents. however. forced back the fren-
zied men and women. The fire de-
stroyed several large sheds and barns,
but a heavy rainfall and sudden
change of wind prevented the dormi-
tories from becoming ignited. Heavy
guards were placed over the patients
for the night.
Albert Rogers shot and killed his
wife at their home at Montville, CT,
Thursday morning, and then attempted
Intellectually to end his own life with
the same weapon, a 32-calibre revolver.
Rogers is SO years old and his wife
was s5. The shooting is said to have
been the result of a quarrel. although
insanity. il is thought, may have been
a contributory cause. The aged man
put three bullets into his wife's head
and then shot himself twice in the
face, the balls splintering his jaw
and ripping away the flesh. At the hos
en-. ii was said that his age and shock
the wounds make his re-
covsry seem improbable.

EirefIies and Stars.

Sometimes being star becomes a
little monotonous. You see the stars
are as curious as the moon. but the lat
ter has a great advantage over the
stars because she is so big and bright
that she can see everything that is
happening on the earth, while the stars
can not shine hard enough to make out
just what everybody is doing and why.
sky to let them come down and visit
the earth and if they have been good
she does let them come down into the
trees, where they can sit among the
leaves and see everything that is going
on.
And that is where the stars are going
when We see them whZZing across the
sky at such a tremendous rate. Some
stars, YOU. know. are like some people
and think that the most interesting
things must he the farthest away and
that they must do a great deal of travel
ing 10 see anything worth while. A few
of them, however, are too lazy or too
sensible to rush all over the sky before
coming down to visit the earth and
these drop 50 silently into the tree
tops that we can not see them as they
come.
Of course, the stars are rather timid
and if we are going TO enjoy their vis-
its we must be patient and quiet and
perhaps little sleepy, but all we have
10 do is to lie on our backs and look
up into the branches of tree. Then
If we pick out convenient little open
spot framed with leaves, and watch
fer few moments. star will come
into the tree where it will twinkle and
tisiItt. in the most friendly way. And,
if we watch other holes in the leaves.
other stars will come and others, until
the tree is full of stars.
One evening not long ago bevy OF
stars visited a big oak tree that lives
on the edge of swamp and a curious
thing happened Over the swamp thou
sands of fireflies were flying and
whether they were jealous of the stars
IN the tree or the stars in the tree were
laughing at the poor little lights below
them, the fireflies became very indig-
nant and rose to drive the stars away
OF course, the stars only laughed
harder than ever and the firei,ies were
so ashamed that they went back down
into the swamp and put out all their
lights.-1ndianapOlis News.

GOmpers Tells of
Plans for Other
Lines of Pursuit.

Atlantic City, n. j.. July 31.-In al
statement issued. yesterday, Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, shows that many
matters other than those bearing di-
rectly upon workers and industrial con-
ditions, were considered at the con-
ference of the executive council which
ended here, Tuesday. The appointment
of n committee on conservation to CO.
operate with the National Conservation
Congress: the appointment of a rep
reseatative te attend the convention of
the National Society for the Promo
ton OF Industrial Education, and the
selection of G. w. Perkins, president
of the Cigarmakers International Tn
ion, as representative of the Fedora
ton at the International Labor Con-
sress at Zurich, Switzerland, in Sep
tember We're among the important ac-
tons taken.
Decisions also were rendered in many
of the disputes which had arisen
among subordinate organizations, ac-
cording to the statement. The trouble
between the Steam ShOvelers and
Dred gemen Unions was settled by the
issuance Of a charter to include men,
bers OF both organizations.
In the case of the boiermakers and
iron shipbuilders as opposed to the
bridge and structural iron workers, it
was decided that the agreement enter
ed into between these organizations, in
November 1910, is still effective and
that any disputes that may arise be-
tween them is to be submitted to ar
bitration provided the presidents of the
two organizations are unable to reach
an ainieable adjustment.

Fred Weyand Nails
Two Bad Visitors

Lewiston, Me-. July 31.-Detective
Fred ]. Weyand of Boston saved a
number of pocketbooks in Lewiston,
on Thursday, when he deported two
frst-class piekpockets from the town
almost before they had gotten into the
city.
Weyand is here in the employ of
Manager Hanks of the race meet for
the purpose of protecting the patrons
Of the races from crooks. His expert
ence taught him that in all probabili-
ty the pickpockets would flock into
the city, for Thursday, if they were
going to be here at all. That was the
day when the big crowd was to be
expected and then they could hope to
make killing and get away With
this thought in mind he passed most
of the night looking the city over in
search of crooks from the big town..
When the 241 train from Boston
pulled into the Bates street station,
Thursday morning, two well-dressed,
weil-appearing young men stepped
down from the smoker. Each carried
small grip and casual observers
would have figured them as travelling
men. They started to leave the sta
ton. but before they had gone a doz-
en- yards Mr.. Weyand had reached
them:
Good morning. said he in his
most affable manner. where do you
think you're going?'
Down to the hotel. replied the
larger of the two
NO" laughed Weyand, that isn't
what they call it; If you go off this
platform you're going to police head
quarters; if you stay on the platform
you'll take that train just pulling in,
back to Boston; which is it to be-"
Boston looks good te me- was the
answer, as the twain turned and
headed for the cars.
"All right" said Weyand, "and see
to it that you don't stop this side of
hat nice city"
