that his mother had hurt her feelings
to such an extent that she felt she
could not go to see her again.
What did she do?"

said to me-" walled Mary, "as the
general impression that she gave me
of being sure that 1 was not the kind
of a wife Jack should have married.

not seen Mother Waverly since Aunt
Mary came to be with me.
''She is such a creature of moods,
Margie. She can be the sweetest
thing you ever saw and the very next
minute she acts as though she hated
you.
when my baby was born, she was
lovely to me as long as l was at the
hospital, but when began to go to
housekeeping she told me that she
though was very foolish, and don't
know but she was right.
Somehow, thought that the abil-
ity to keep house was born in every
woman. thought of delightful din
ners, but never realized what dirty
work it was to prepare a chicken
properly for those dinners. Thought
of the CLEAN of white linen, the
glisten of glass and the shining sheen
of silver, but forgot the dirty, greasy
pots and pans must be washed.

The instance SO angered Witherspoon of Mississippi that he abruptly quit the room.
 A series of questions caused Gard ner to resent vigorously what was said in imputation of his recent cam paign for the investigation of the military situation was the interests of the manufactures of. war material. When Gardner called upon Gray of Indiana "get up and prove the facts. the latter had nothing to say

SLAYER is HUNTED IN ALL PARTS
 OF UNITED STATES
John KickoS. the Greek Who Is Accused of Having Killed Lee Jurasovich, is Being Searched For From East to West.

Not only the local officers but the sherih's office at Tombstone has been busy during the past thirty-six hours in endeavoring to find some trace of John Kickos, whom it is al- legged to have murdered his friend Gurasovich. Telegrams and circu- lars have been sent and mailed to all parts of the country in an effort to try and head off the alleged murder CT. The immigration officers in the large ports of entry have all been not flied to look out for Kickos and should he attempt 10 leave by any of the ports he will undoubtedly be captured The local officers were busy yesterday in picking up various bits of evidence and information that will be useful in the event that Kic- kos is captured
 An effort is being made to have a reward of two or three hundred dol lars offered for the arrest of Kickos by the Board of Supervisors and the State. It Is also understood that the local Austrians will raise a hundred dollars or SO to add to this fund as Gurasovioh was a popular man among them
 There is but little doubt in the minds of the officers that immediate ly after KickCs returned to town and secured his belongings from the Phil adelphia House. that he made his

Sherif Wheeler and his deputies have succeeded in rounding up a bunch of five youths who have been charged with the crime of grand lar ceny. The compiaints were sworn out in Tombstone by Live Stock In- spector Miles, alleging that they, dur ing the month of July last drove off one or more calves of the property of the Boquillas Land and Cattle Company. The bunch were rounded up in the vicinity of Huachuca siding where the crime is alleged to have been committed They were taken to Tombstone and released on $500 bond each, which was furnished The cases will probably not De tried be- fore the February term of the Super for court and the preliminary eXami- nation will not likely be held until after the first of the year, as W. B. Cleary has been retained to defend the prisoners and he is at present in Callitornia Those arrested were Bert Doling. John Hand, George Me Lain, Hank Landers. Walter Lowry and Willie Kane
 Doling was arrested last summer on a similar charge and some eleven head of calves were taken away from him by Live Stock Commissioners. The criminal case against Doling at the time was dismissed It is said now that the arrest of the last bunch is a sequel of the former arrest Of Doling
 Some interesting facts are liable to develop at tbe preliminary exami- nation. It will in all probability be held before the new Justice William Fowler, in Tombstone soon after the first of the year.

LONDON IN AIR AS TO ABSOLUTE RESULTS.

LONDON Dec. 1S-Although there seems to be no doubt that the Rus sians are retreating for the present. any anticipation of an earl invasion of Germany was dismissed and con siderable mystery surrounds the re- ported decisive victory of the Ger mans which Berlin celebrated last night.
 The claim is~made that Vienna re- ports the Russians to have been driven out of position in the north Carpathian mountains from KrOsno to Zak.iczyn, indicating that a part of the main line railway in Galicia is in the hands of the Austrians. An other central town has stormed, but silence is maintained as regards North Poland where the German victory is said to have been achieved.
 The German official report dismiss. es this battle with the statement: "In Poland we are still pursuing the enc my, who continues to give way" Am sterdam dispatches serve to heighten the confusion by quoting Berlin papers received today as expressing disap- pOintment at the fact that no names of battlefelds were mentioned and no tangible results of fighting have been disclosed No lists of captured guns and prisoners has been given. Disappointment at the silence of the Russians and adUces from Petograd are eagerly awaited All of its ofYen. sive in the west progresses slowly. according to Paris reports, although the aggregate gains claimed during the week indicate a considerable ad- vance in Flanders and in the vicinity of Arras where the Allies seemingly are making the greatest effort i'm belief that a penetration of the Ger man lines will mean a general Ger man retirement

 The roads west of this line, which got partial advances in the August decision received further advances. so that now an roads in what is described as the official classification territory will enjoy uniform advances in both class and commodity rates.
