Man Who scoffed.

He used to scott at women,
Called them foolish, brainless things
Who would sell their souls for dresses
Or for necklaces or rings.
He scorned them for their efforts
To be beautiful and sweet,
But there CHANGED to be woman
Fate had destined him to meet.
She was neither good nor lovely,
Though he fondly thought her so;
She was mostly artificial.
But, poor. fool, he didn't know!

On the man who used to scoff,
And wonder what will happen
When the mask

RELATIVES CALL
SCHMIDT INSANE
FATHER AND SISTER so DE-
I. CLARE WHILE MURDERER
PROTESTS OPENLY IN
I COURT.

f New York City.--The father, the
sister and a boyhood chum of Hans
Schmidt, swore on the witness stand
that Schmidt had been crazy for
years. They were the first witnesses
for the defense In his trial Tor the
murder OF Anna Aumuller. Before
they testified, Schmidt jumped to his
feet and dramatically shouted: IF
they lie!" and his lawyer outlined
his case to the jury.
The lawyer said he expected to
prove that Schmidt was insane now,
had been for years and always would
be.
II protest against that" charged
Schmidt. and kept on protesting un-
til court officers 1uieted him.
Insanity was a family trait among
the Schmidts, according to Heinrich
Schmidt, the prisoners father. Sew
eral relatives hanged themselves, sew
eral attempted suicide by drowning
and one shot himself. Schmidt's sis
ter said her brother inherited insanity
from both his parents. When he was
"a boy, she said, his religious mania
was so marked that the neighbors
dubbed him the little chaplain"
Father Martetrt of Techny, ILL.,, who
went to school with Schmidt, in Ger
many. testified that he believed the
prisoner to be of infirm mind and that
he had been SO for twelve years.

STAR TACKLE CHOSEN CAPTAIN
OF NEXT YEARS HIGH SCHOOL
ELEVEN. .5

James Salisbury, one of the stellar
linemen in South Dakota interschol.
astict elevens the past season, has
been elected captain of the Mitchell
football team for next year. The cleo
ton was unanimous.
The .captain-elect will be a. senior
in the high school next year and his
playing will round off four years Of
consistent play IN a purple and white
uniform. But for an injury received
in the Sioux Falls game this season,
which handicapped him for the re-
mainder of the season, he would
easily have made an all-state posi-
ton. His regular niche is left tackle,
in which he has been a consistent
and aggressive player.
Monograms for the 1913 season
will be presented to the football men
in the high school assembly tomor-
row morning. Fourteen monographs
in all will be presented by Superin-
tendent j. w. McClinton. The recip-
tents will be Capt. Louis Nordbye,
Captain-elect Salisbury, Floyd Wild
er, Will Smith, Harold Grace, Her
bert Bernard, John Reierson, George
White, Stanley Vermilyea, Louis WIZ

Arkansas. The subcommittee ex-
poets to make a report at a meeting
of the full committee today.
Compromise Favored.
1t was predicted that the commit
tee would favor a compromise be-
tween the plan advocated by the re-
publican congressional committee and
by Chairman Hilles and other leaders.
This plan would provide for four dele
gates at large from each state aud
one from each congressional dis
trist, where the republican vote
bears a certain ratio of the total
vote. With the adoption of the re-
port of this subcommittee, the ma
tional committee will adjourn prob
ably until 1916.
In bringing in a plan for reduced
representation, the Subcommittee
will suggest how the plan will be
ratified by the republican voters in
all the states. The much talked of
referendum, requiring that the plan
must be approved by republicans in
states which cast two thirds of the
total party vote in 1908, was still in
favor at last nights meeting.
