That there have been Servian plots plots by
subjects of Servia against the peace of Austria
Hungary is true but it is not likely that the Ser
Wan government has encouraged such plots. They
could result in any advantage to Serva, however
irritating they might be to her big neighbour Nor

Austrian throne in pursuance of plot in which
any Servian of importance concerned, though
the assassination may be traced to national hatred
of Austria.
The people of serva have cause TO hate Aus
tria. The ground for such hatred lies many years
back. War between Austria and Servia was i'm
minent 1908 when the former seized Bosnia Herze-
govna in violation of the Berlin treaty. At that
time Russia expected to support Servia and
. Montenegro. But under German pressure, Russia
decided to withhold her support, and Serva with

The Roosevelt Dam

Molten gold in thousand streams is running

Deposits being made in the great water bank
where they will be left for a time for the farmers
getting plenty of loose change from the prodiga
and wastefu Verde and will be receiving more from
the clouds for their immediate needs.
On Saturday night the stage of water in the
Roosevelt dam 1876 feet amounting to 197.463
acre feet. The situation much the same then
1t the night of September "a. 1913, when
the stage 11952 feet and the contents of the
reservoir 1918 feet. We had then
amassed the rains, of a dsappointingy
small volume, and could look forward only to
steady decrease of the reservoir content, which
might be broken only by the spring floods But the
spring floods did not come in their expected volume
and the decrease continued almost steadily.
We are in the midst of increase which
have believe will be maintained for
weeks There daily and nightly rain

MODERN LULLABY.

Rock-a bye baby, up the bough,
You get your milk from certified cow
Before your eugenic young parents were wed
They had decided how you should be fed.
Hush a bye, baby the tree top,
If Grandmother trots you, you tell her to stop;
Shun the trot-ho that your Grandmother rides
1t will work harm to your little insides.
Mammals scientifc-she knows all the laws
She kisses her darling through carboc gauze.
Rock "a bye baby, don't wriggle and squirm
Nothing is near you that looks like germ.

Kansas has fewer suicides, fewer homicides and
fewer deaths by accident than any other state in

Mankind is divided into classes-those who

for will to be opened amid appropriate ceremon-

the easier job but the former is certain of
suits, and is much more popular in this country
than it is in England, where the upper classes and
the undertakers spend their lives waiting hand in

Many man has waited forty years to get
chance to open a will and has then found the in

Still opening wills is more fun than leaving
them Nobody likes to leave will would

a puzzLER FOR THE COURTS

A most difficult legal problem VIII shortly come
before the Viennese courts for solution. A woman
shot her sweetheart with murderous intent out
without nfcting the slightest injury, since the gun
smith who sold her the revolver had prudently
charged it with blank cartridges. She has been ar
rested on the charge of attempted murder, and
admits her intention to kill, but the Austrian law
yers appear to in doubt to whether the charge
can succeed as the prisoner in the circum-
stances unable to carry out her intention.
The raises very nice point OF law: Can
a person be convicted of shooting with intent to
kill" under conditions in which it is impossible to
carry out that intention? There is certainly room
for much ingenious argument on both sdes.-Lon-
don Globe.
