The original manuscript of "rhe Ieop-

Dixon, the author, bears a deep, dark
genuine blood stain-the history of which
is unique. This blood mark was made
from a wound received in the hand of
Walter IL. Page, the present ambassador
to Great Britain. Mr.. Page, as a lit
erarY authority, was the judge into whose
hands this first novel of the author fell.
Mr.. Page was so absorbed in reading

no attention to the clang of the bell of a

knocked him down. He was assisted ba cl-

was confined to his bed for a day.

Fun for The Twins.

Chester and Clarence Irwin,
19-year-oJd twins, of Edwards,
Miss, are the cause of confusion
everywhere they go because of
their absolute similarity. They
are exactly the same height, ex-
actly the same breadth, dress in
the same way, have the same
expression and carriage, and,
too, they are related in such a
way that when one suffers from
headache or other ailments, the
other twin is similarly affected.

had been naughty and was kept
in during the noon hour the
guilty boy would go over te

Cured by Suggestion.

Mental healing has long been
practiced, but DR.. Berillion, of
Paris, asserts that psychothera-
pia is the medicine of the future.
He does not put his patients in
to an hypnotic trance, but places
them in an environment which
creates the appetite for sleep and
invites them to repose on a bed
and think of nothing. Then he
leaves them. They gradually
succumbs to the tick-tack of a
metronome.
When the patient is in an hyp-
motto slumber, if its desired that
he should be cured of excessive
indulgence in alcohol. the psy-
chotherapist suggests to him
that he cannot raise a glass of
absinthe to his lips, and repeats
the suggestion until the prohibi-
ton is so engraved on his brain
that if he would he could not do
so.
DR.. Berillion is frequently con-
suited by those who wish to be
cured of unhappy love passion.
Through hypnotism they obtain
their release.

is needed. That cleans out the cul-

immediate Cause of War

Every boy and girl should know
the cause of the present Euro
pean war. While the growing
hatred between the countries in
volved dates back many. many
years, the immediate cause, or
events. which served to plunge
several countries into war are
these:
1t was the assassination of
Francis Ferdinand, crown prince
of Austria, and his consort, at
Sareivo, Bosnia, on June %, by
a Servian student, Gavric Prin-
zip, that plunged the continent
of Europe into war.
At the root Of the matter lies
the immemorial feud between
Slav and Teuton. Involved also
are the pledges of the triple al
lance between Germany, Austria
Hungary and Italy, on one side,
and between Great Britain,
France and Russia, comprising
the triple entente. on the other.
Just what are these alliances,
and how brought about?
In 1879 Germany and Austria
formed an alliance for protection
against Russia. In 1888, Bis
marck strengthened this alliance
by the inclusion of Italy. Aus.
wia..and Germany pledged mutual
assistance if attacked by Russia,
Italy and Germany if attacked by
France. This is the much dis
cussed triple alliance.
The triple entente is the prod
uct of the dual alliance between
France and Russia in 1887, and
informal understanding between
England and France in 1904, and
England and Russia in 1907. 1t
was designed by Edward VII to
balance the triple alliance.
In addition TO the above factors
of the war, we must not over
look the 40 years of hatred be-
tween France and Germany, dat.
ing from the war of 1870; the
growing English jealousy of Ger
man naval and commercial growth
and ambition of Russia to COM
plete the dismenberment of Tur-
key and to make of the Black
sea a Russian lake.
