Spocial Nu99ot SeTNICe'
 TACOMA, March IA Deputy Shcrift George r.. Stone was today shot and killed by Mrs. Sadie King who after wards took her own life.
 The killing of stone was the out come of a love affair Both Mrs King and the deputy sheriff were married and neither were happily married.
 When they met each other for the first time each knew that the real mate had been found.
 Then came the long struggle be- tween love and duty which as old aA the world and which has ended in SO many tragedies. Tragedy if the lovers decide to give each other up and tragedy if they decide to igncr the moral and civil laws and stiil tragedy if, as in this ease. one of the larties decided that it is not worth while to go on.
 Because they were both married and because there was no immediate pros rect of either being free Mrs. King decided that life was not worth living SO she killed her lover and then her self

TALKING OF ENDORSEMENTS.

There is some talk around town to- day that the democratic city conven- tion may endorse the republican candidates for treasurer and comp troller. The latter has always had opposition from the democrats, but MT. Chamberlain has been more for tunate. His name was on the demo- cratic ticket two years ago but in 1910 Richard Schaefer was his op- ponent. >. = .&
 These two offices are very ifnpor- tant because they. are closely related to the finances of. the city, the comp troller drawing all the orders and au- diting the accounts and the treasur- CT paying the bills, looking after the interest on the city debt, the bonds, and having great deal of information on financial matters in general. The trea- surer is also president of the board of finance and taxation and, taking all his duties together the office is real- ly one of the most important in the city These offices are well filled at present. -a'

 It looks at this distance as if Mayor Mitchell has made a mistake in allow ing such good man to leave the city S employ and still another in not keep ing him at the head of the police de- pertinent. He was fit, the mayor admits that and yet, evidently be- cause he did not appoint him in the first, place, the has refused to keep him. It is such acts that demoralize all public business, because it con- vincese people that it is not always efficiency that counts. It certainly didn't in McKay's case It will be interesting to note who his successor will be- and particularly whether he will be man of the experience and Judgment of his predecessor. If he is not then it will be plain that New York will be aAsloser, and that the mayors judsnent is not the best.

Making a New Chief in Africa.
 (Contributedl

Letters describing the installation or a neW> chief in Angola, West Africa, have just reached the American board. The new leader succeeds Kan 1undu Of Chiyuka, an able and dis tinguished native Christian.
 When Kanjundu died, even the heather "old men" around said, "Only 9 good man can be chief after Kan 5undu.' His eldest son, to whom the honor would naturally have gone, had been ruled out by the dead chief himself as not fit for the office. Kan jundu's brother declined the head ship, saying: T am old I cannot go to the fort when they call. I can- not read, and Chiyuka is village of books. Moreover, I am not one of The words (Christians), and no one but a Christian can be successor to Kanjundu. We look over the pos sible ones and we choose Chikosi."
 So Chikosi, a nephew of Kanjundu, was unanim ously chosen to reign in his stead. The members of the royal family sent for him and told him of the decision, and all the people raised their hands and cried, Tt is Chikosi that We want as our chief"
 The lad who had been Kanjundu's attendant then came forward and said, "The chief said, When I am gone and my successor is chosen, he is to receive my hymn books, psalms and proverbs, and the sixteenth chap ter of Proverbs is to be read ? So the chapter was read and prayer of- fered, and the books given to Chi kosi
 Then the tribes-people prepared for the installation ceremonies. The streets and villages were cleaned, the oxen were killed for the feast, and the women pounded all night so that there might be meal enough to feed all who came. The young men went to the new chiefs house to bring him in triumph to his Ombala, or coun- cil house. The bush car which had been Kanjundu's was used. Chikosi, wearing a new gray tweed suit, rus set shoes, a gray felt hat, was seated in it. A crowd of people shouting, singing and playing on musical i'm struments surrounded it. Children bearing punches of wild flowers stood on each side of the trail, and relays of youths ran in front of the car to clear the way for the chief.
 From the Ombala and the chiefs house the procession went on to the

FIRE CHIEFys REPORT.

According to the annual report of the chief of theI fire department there were PIT fires during the past year, causing a loss of s47.ooo as against 16s fires during the preced-. ing year with a loss of $4e,s42. New Britain has a pretty we'll equipped fire department, at present, though it is not fully motorized as it will be within a few years. The fact that there were more fires last year than in the previous year has no relation to the fire department, the work -..of. the latter being to- extinguish asthe fires after they start, and it's prompt ness has succeeded in keeping the damages down to the lowest possible limit. The fact that though there were more fires last year than the year before the estimated loss was approximately the same, shows that the fires were principally small affairs and no large buildings were destroyed.
 New Britain has been fairly free from large conf1agrations dur ing recent years those of St. Mary's church, the B. c. Porter block and the Y. M. c. A.. being about the largest. It has been found impossi- ble to prevent fires altogether so that the best a city can do is to- prepare to put the fires out when they start. The number might be lessened by carefulness on the part of the peo- hearts of those inclined to set fire to buildings for the purpose of col lecting insurance. $, 4.q, s.4. s.,.: .

Spring Effects.
(Indianapolis News.)


 There is so much spring in so many things that the most pessimistic weather predictions cannot discourage us, although those predictions are ac- companied with truth and snow. We are awakened by the birds these days, and there is all the difference between winter and summer in the difference between the voice of the alarm clock and the voice of bird. There is, more over, the essence of the awakening of spring itself in the sensation of waking to the call of the birds. We may dis cover after We are awake that snow is falling. but the snowflakes are ephe- neral creatures that do not seem to know where they came from or where they are going, and in spite of the snow the feel of spring is in the air.
 So far, you say, spring is in the air, but the sun shines and the snow goes and We can see spring in the sky. If there were nothing else to tell us we should know that spring is here by the very special shade of blue that is above and about the earth. The earth of course, is not to be outdone by the sky, and as it begins to, send forth growing things, we - know that the earth, too, is full of spring. Thus lu6 lASStS Spllu6, dilu llOIil lIl0 sky and air and earth it gets into our systems until we feel that all of spring is inside of us. -
 Not being able to sing as the birds sing, or to shine as the sun and the sky shine, or to bloom as the earth blooms, we express the spring that is within us in various ways We paint and we build houses and we plant seed and we clean house and we buy spring hats. There is no surer note of spring than the sound of hammers, and the rapidity with which the irrepressible daffodils spring from the ground is not more remarkable than the rapid ity with which new houses appear. The sun is almost as busy drying the paint on our shining fences and trellis work as he is coaxing the leaves on the trees. The crocus and the tulip are joyous flowers, but they are not more gay than the things we call hats. Spring is everywhere and in all things, most of all in us.

The Painter.
(Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.) When my hair is thin and silvered.
 an my time of toll is through. When I've many years behind me,
 an ahead of me a few, I shall want to sit, I reckon, sort
 of dreamin' in the sun, An recall the roads I've travelled,
 an the many things I've done. An I hope there'll be no picture
 that I'll hate to look upon When the time to paint it better
 or to wipe it out is gone. I hope there'n come no vision of
 a nasty word I've said, That has left a trail of sorrow, like
 a whip welt, sore an red. An I hope my old-age dreaming
 will bring back no bitter scene Of a time when I was selfish an
 a time when was mean. When I'm gettin' old an feeble, + an I'm far along life's way I don't want to sit regrettin' any
 by-gone yesterday. I'll admit the children boss me, I'll
 admit often smile When I ought to frown upon 'em, D.. but, for such little while They are naughty, romping young
 sters, that I have no heart to scold,
 An I know if I should whip 'em
 I'd regret 1t when I'm old. Age to me would be a torment an
 ghost-infested night, If I'd ever hurt a baby, an I could not make it right. I am painting now the pictures
 that I'll some day want to see. I am filling in canvas that will
 come back soon to me. An though nothing great is on it.
 an though nothing there is fine, I shall want to look it over when
 I'm old an call it mine. An I do not dare to leave it, while
 the paint is warm am wet With a single thing upon it that
 I'll later on regret.

New orleans After the Hatpin.
lNew Orleans Picayune.)


 The police have resumed the en- forcement of the hatpin law with wig or and a number of ladies were given pointed reminders that such law is in the statute books and that police have no alternative but to enforce it. The regulation with respect to hatpins provides that the sharp point of the pin must not protrude beyond the hat without being protected.
 While the enforcement of the law is not a pleasant duty for the police and inevitably leads to many disagree able and 1udicrous incidents, it is the law, and the sooner the ladies make up their minds to that effect the quick CT will they be relieved from humilia- ton of being stopped on the street by the police or being summoned before the recorders courts
 That long and sharp hatpins now so commonly used by women are danger oa,s is freely admitted. In crowded street cars or in the retail stores on
