a Rhythmlcai Criticism,

Professor Brander Matthews was
talking OF certain past participles that
have fallen into disuse. reports the
Washington Star.
The past participle gotten" has gone
out In England, although it still fingers
on with us. In England gotten La al
most as obsolete as "putten." In some
parts Of Cumberland the villagers still
use gotten and putten. and a teacher
once told me of lesson on the past
participles wherein she gave her pu-
pills an exercise to write on the black
board.
In the midst of the exercise an ur-
chin began TO laugh. She asked him
why he was laughing, and he an
ewered:
"Joe's put puttsn whsr# be should
have ruttsn put"

IOI RANCH.

The full blooded Indians have at
last become indignant and appealed
to the Government for protection
This noble nation of true Ameri-
cans have requested the Govern
ment to prohibit so called wild west
shows from exhibiting as Indians
those who are not. They have
asked that the race be not humil-
lated by shows exhibiting people
who are not Indians and whose
parents have not been but who are
the result or inter-marriage with
the white people. Recently del
egation Of Indians waited on Presi-
dent Taft and desired that he take
immediate steps to prevent the hu-
initiation of the real Indian by the
exhibiting of white men disguised
as Indians and halt breeds who
have no right to be classed as the
true Indian as they existed and do
exist. Mr.. Edward Arlington who
with the Miller Brothers is owner
Of the 10l Ranch Real Wild West
Show presented the Indian repre-
sentatives to the President who
listened attentively through an in
terpreter to their complaint and
at the conclusion of the session en-
tertained them socially. He prom
ised to interest the Department of
Indian Affairs in the matter,
Later in a published interview
Mr.. Arlington said: 1t is de-
plorable that the demand for west
err shows has been the cause for
dishonest shownen to embark in
what they advertise as wild west
shows and seek patronage by ex-
hibiting characters that are foreign
to the true western type it is not
cnly an imposition on the people
who admire the Indian and the
western people but a disagreeable
reflection on those people Tue

look up the homes of the others

from this ranch that the western

find fault with the Indians because
they object to being reoresented

And, to cap 1t all, he has con-
fessed that he tried to murder his
third wife with germs. Her life
insurance was $4,000.
Five times this astonishing man
whose reputation for ferocity
was SO general that five police
men jumped on him simultane-
ously when they arrested him. He
has watched the police dig up the
remains of two wives, two par
ents and two children. Hopf made
days work of it with the police
and he lolled on the cemetefy
lawn in his chains while the po-
lice exhumed the bodies of his
first wife, who died in 1902, and
of child by his second wife, who
died in 1906. Another whole
days job of the same sort in
volved the remains of his father,
who died in 1904, and his Sec
ond wife, who died in 1911. On
another day he saw the police dig
up the bones of one of his chill
dren and later he watched them
exhUme the ashes of his mother,
whose body had been cremated BIZ

he treated the ashes with arsenic

life insurance and then began to
pay court to a girl In Frankfort
of good family. Immediately after
the marriage he insured her life
for 100000. A girl baby was
taken i'll after six weeks.
The masterful Hopf was al
ways able to find woman will

1912 he induced pretty Frank
fort girl to become his wife. I'M
mediately after the marriage he
took out $4,000 insurance OH
her life. The first years premium
cost him $1,000, which was part
of the money left him by his
mother.
Unknown to Hopf, the Frank
fort police learned of the insur-
ance and also made the discovery
that Hopf was trying to buy
germs fresh from human
corpses.
