her eyes in the clouds. Then she
dashed her head against the side
of her house, causing conclusion

What were the reasons for
suicide? Perhaps she was in
love. From the keepers he learn.

time previously had fallen in
love with turtle, but the latter
showed almost stony indifference
to her advances. She tried ia

seemingly paid no attention. ia

there was an fnseparable dis
lance between them.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. U.s.
Major Dorman L. Noggle, a veter-
an OF the Civil war, has handled
more millions than Morgan,
Rockefeller, or any other money
magnate in the world. Over o.
600. 100000 dollars have passed
through his hands in the last 40
years.
And what has Major Noggle
done with all this wealth? 1t is
all In circulation. Perhaps some
of 1t is in the hands of Rockefel-
Ter or maybe Carnegie. Major
Noggle hasn't kept any OF it. He
couldn't. 1t wasn't his. It be-

City MANAGERS

The vote of two to one by which the citizens of
Dayton, overcoming combination of politicians,
adopted the commission form of government,
with the addition of the idea of hiring expert to
be the citys general manager, recalls how the
original commission plan was also born in the
crisis of great calamity.
In each case the existence of disastrous flood,
with problems of reconstruction not suited to the
calibre of customary administration forced the
trial OF new devices and brought forth degree
OF civic interest which insured for time at least
superior men and improved results.
Thus out of misfortune comes benefit; and
it becomes true of cities, as of individuals,
that 1--WE rise on stepping stones Of our dead
selves to higher things"
The city manager, working as the hired agent of
an elective commission, who decides large ques-
tions of policy but leave him unhampered in the
working out Of details offers the promise in this
country Of the efficiency which in Germany has
attended the similar plan OF employing expert
mayors by contract, with promotions for conspic-
lous merit.
This new plan does not mean that John Smith,
average citizen, having cast his vote may there
after go to sleep. The movement is still his affair."
to be watched and prodded as necessity suggests.
No scheme will remain clean which doesn't have
him on the watch tower.
But it smplifies his fixing of responsibility and
allows him greater freedom to Judge policies by
results That's why we expect it to spread.

to himself was both estimable and en-
tertaining and that he deserves credit
for directing attention to prison problems.

contemplation of the plaudits he un-
doubtedly would earn through his mar

the past, shame and humiliation at the
treatment to which he is subjected In
prison and the dread of the prospect of
disgrace and persecution which await
him when he goes back to the world.
Expresses Prisoners Views.
Hope is expressed that good will come
of Mr.. Osborne's experiment, and it is
suggested that if judges and prosecutors
we're obliged to qualify by spending a
term in prison no longer than that OF
Mr. Osborne's, Justice and decency in
administration of criminal law would be
greatly advanced"
