Leila, the 11-year-old daughter of J.

about a foot of water. Wading out to
it, what was her surprise to find a

She gathered the fish up in her arms
and after much Hopping carried it to
the house. 1t weighed seven and one

LIFE AFTER DEATH.
Dead Persons Sometimes Revived
by Suggestion.

New York, June 13.-Dr. John D.
Quackenbos. the famous specialist, to-
day discussed the statement of DR.. A.
L. SoreSi of Fordham university that
science would soon find way to re-
store the dead to life.
81 am willing to go on record as
saying that a man is not dead unless
he stays dead" said DR.. Quackenbos.
what we call the 'souP does not leave
the physical body until life is totally
extinct. If supposedly dead man is
returned to life, life has never been
extinct. And so insofar as we know
it is impossible for a mortal who re-
turns to life after socalled death to
learn anything of the hereafter
st have known of cases, particularly
one in Ogunquit, Maine, where wom-
an was dead from II a. m. until p.
m., which would seem to border on
the miraculous, and I have personally
seen cases in which dead persons
were brought back to life by sugges-
ton"

Places Blame for Wreck.

Jefferson City, June 13.-The pub
lie service commission of Missouri to-
day made public its report of the Mis-
souri, Pacific wreck at Grant Siding,
Mo, in which four persons were killed
when two fast passenger trains col
lided headon. The commission attrib-
uted the wreck to the negligence of the
train dispatcher in giving conflicting
orders for the trains to meet, and to
the failure of a block signal operator
to hold one of the trains after the
other had entered his block. The COM
mission said the use of steel cars pre-
vented a great loss of life and recon-
mended that employees be instructed
every six months in the operation of
manual block signals.

FREE LEGAL ADVICE.

| Now that the small debtors court ap-
pears to be a success in the matter
| OF meeting a public need, might it not
be well to add a bureau of free legal
advice such as Is maintained in many
cities of Europe?
The Dresden Society for Legal Advice
to the Public, it is reported, had a
successful and strenuous year in 1912.
In the six years of its existence it
has been able, in spite of the limited
means at its disposal, to give legal ad-
vice to people in reduced circum-
stances in about 1900 cases. The use
fulness of this institution can be clear
ly seen from the fact that in 1912 Of
fetal bodies-royal administrative of
fees and courts of 1ustice-referred
5000 persons to this bureau for legal
advice. The manager of the bureau
represented parties in 81 cases before
the various courts and administrative
bodies.
Although most of the information
given concerns family matters, rents
and. insurance law, the addition of
new departments shows the large field
over which such activity can extend.
For instance, a department for poor in
ventors and one for advice in choosing
a trade or profession are to be created.
The necessity of such bureaus for legal
advice to those who are poor and I'M
learned in the law is clearly demon
strated by their number and activity.
In the German Empire in 1911, 500
such bureaus gave advice in 1,6S3,540
cases and prepared 436.2s7 written COM
munications. During the past year lib
state and municipal bureaus and %
supported by associations for the COM
mon welfare reported to the Imperial
Statistical Office. Others have been
founded by trades unions, Catholic and
Protestant organizations, agricultural
associations, etc. Such institutions are
also increasing in Switzerland, Eng
land and Hungary, and particularly in
Denmark, and many of them have en-
tered into correspondence with the
German bureaus with view to mutual
support and exchange of ideas.

Disappearing Lotteries.

Lotteries! Though 1t will mean the
loss of millions of dollars to the state
Italy shows a progressive spirit in
abolishing the lottery. In 1907-8 the
gross receipts from the state lottery
amounted to s16,6S0,000, and the
government, after paying all prizes
and the running expenses, had $780,
600 to its credit. But what was i'm
profitable to the state meant
not only dead loss to the majority
of supporters of the lottery, but worse
still, the encouragement of the gam
bling spirit among the people, the
hope to win a living without work

THE MEXICO OF TOMORROW.

The era of turmoil and bloodshed in
Mexico following the ousting of the
elder Diaz appears to be as far from
an end as ever. The United States
still refuses to recognize Huerta and
probably will continue to do so. The
reason is not set forth. The fact that
he is a murderer is sufficient. Then
there is the chance that he will be
deposed any day
But over and above these reasons is
one of still greater force and that is
the possibility that soon there may be
two Mexicoes.
The northern states of Mexico are
consolidating their power, are con-
quering the troops sent against them.
but do not seem disposed to make any
attacks on the capital. Meanwhile the
rebellion under Zapata in southern
Mexico is not quelled.
The northern states of Mexico.
which lie against the United States
border, have very little relations or
They are more Americanized. They
include an immense amount of capital
and industry from this country, and
they do not want revolution and dis
order, but they do want peace and
quiet labor. 1t would not be surpris-
ing if they should establish their own
government and decide to set up for
themselves.
There is the ever present possibility
that the history of Texas may be re-
peated. Is Uncle Sam waiting for
that?

Some ordinance should be passed re-
quiring colored gentlemen to either
improve their craftsmanship or choose
a secluded spot for the shooting of a
chance acquaintance.
A careful scrutiny of the case may
show some other reason for turning
down the Gage park car line, but the
only one presenting itself at this time
is that it would be impractical to
spend a car line in building political
fences, while, on the other hand, any
small change for which the company
may be shaken down, would come in
handy as key of assorted nails.
There are more preachers than bar
tenders, and no newspaper men in the

preachers and bartenders have not
given up hope that the newspaper men
will get what is coming to them some
