Wilson DeplOres Death

Washington, Feb. 14.-As soon as President Wilson heard of Senator Bacon's death he dictated this state ment:
 "All who know Senator Bacon will sincerely deplore his death. It de- prives the Senate of one of it's oldest and most experienced members, a man who held with something like reverence to the traditions Of the great body of which he was so long a part and who sought in all thai ha did to maintain its standards of statesmanship and service.
 "The great state of Georgia will greatly miss her distinguished son and servant. My own association with him had been of the most corial, and to me, helpful sort. particularly benefited by his experience in for eign affairs.

New York Is Snow Bound.


 New York, Feb. 14.-The great snow storm that enveloped the East today, was the worst in this section for several years.
 Nine lives were lost when four barges broke adrift in Long Island sound. The storm extended from Baltimore to the Adirondacks and came out of the Southwest.
 Railroad traffic in the East was nearly paralyzed. Train schedules were abandoned by the railroad which moved what passenger trains they could, Snow in various sections ranges from IS inches to 4 feet in drifts, rendering New York's streets impassible. The entire city suffered greatly through the breakdown Of its suburban traffic. Queens, Westches- ter, N. J., and Staten Island commut- CTS were hours reaching the city or did not reach it at all
 Incoming steamship that bested the storm and got inside the Hook were ships of ice. All reported terrific gales far out from land.

 Bonner was asked Did you ever talk to Jim Jacobs about this?"
 "Yes, he had conference with me in which he said the case could be settled for s25,0o0. When he left he said it could he settled for $5,000'' Mrs. Bond was with Jacobs. Bonner testified.
 T asked them what they would and Mrs. Bond would go away to- gether and go into some business. asked them what they would do with Julian R. Bond, the husband, and Jacobs replied:
 "To h. with Bind. he don't t amount to anything"
 Bonner said on cross examination that he did not think Fitzpatrick was personally interested when he made the offer of compromise because he, Fitzpatrick had said, was not ex- pecting anything for himself.
 Attorney Rutherford cross-examin- ed Bonner.
 Denies Secret Code.
 "Didnt you tell Fi:zpa,rick tha- yo,. had secret code yGu used when wire" Senator Gore and he replied, if you have a code kindly wire Gore and tell him to go to hell.'
 ''No such conversation took place. Bonner answered. "In the first place I have no code"
 Another offer or compromise was that Gore appointed Dr. J. H. Earp United States marshal, Bonner said.
 pr. Hugh Newell, United States marshal of the Eastern District of Oklahoma, was asked if he had not some sort of conversation with cer- tain persons in which he had told a different story than the one he told on the witness stand. eff you can prove that by respec- tacle witnesses I will resign my of- flee today" Newell replied with much heat.
 At the close of the fourth day of the trial the general opinion seems to be that Senator Gore has the case already won, without playing the trump card of the defense, the blind senator's own story.

 Money Compromise with Woman.

Bond.
 From 3:30 o'clock this afternoon until court adjourned at 5:3O. h bitter debate as to the admission of certain letters and telegrams sent by Gore in answer to offers of compro- mise in the case, was staged between the opposing counsel. W. M. Bon ner, vice president of the State Nat ional Bank of this city, testified he had made overtures to Gore at the instance of persons on the other side ,of the case.
 When instructed to read Senator Cores replies to these overtures. Norton Rutherford, of counsel for Mrs. Bond, objected vigorously.
 These answers should go down m history" A. c. Cruce, of counsel for Senator Gore said. "They are remark able documents and show the spirit of the man. They are the keynotes of the whole indictment, showing Cores beliefs and convictions in the whole case"
 After an hours debate Judge . Clark permitted Bonner to tell the substance of the messages without reading the actual telegrams. Bon .ner testified that Kirby Fitzpatrick, state title attorney in the land of flee, had come to him with this prop osition: eff Senator Gore will ap- point T. B. Robertson first assistant United States attorney for the Vest } ern District of Oklahoma, he and I will see that our part of the Gore Bond affair never will be pushed"

How Parnell Left the World.

Among the curious characteristics of
Parnell as leading statesman was his
capacity for avoiding publicity 1t is
not only that he disappeared for
weeks and months. But he evidently
achieved the habit in early years of
cutting himself off at will from the
outside world. At the first meeting
with Mrs. OShea in Palace Yard he
confessed that he had not answered
her invitation to dinner because he
had not opened his letters for days"
There are probably men who, like
myself have achieved the art of now
and then cutting off communications
Telephones kilograms, letters will
pour in upon you If you let them. But
| recommend the Parnellite method.
When you have something else to do
ignore the telephone bell, leave your
letters unopened and even when the
telegraph boy comes up with his buff
envelope say there is mo answer" !

homer. Properly speaking, a bunga.
low is but one story high, and is COW

impossible for the bungalow to travel

In this plan we have a dwelling of
modest dimensions, being 25 feet from

with four-foot extension to make
room for a pantry. In this way we
get three splendid rooms on the first

both convenience and looks.
Pantries were never properly built
until this outside attachment was hit
upon. 1t was born of necessity. like
many other valuable inventions, and
was improved upon as occasion de-
manded. Pantries are intended for
the storage of food, both cooked and
otherwise. Naturally, pantries should
be kept as cool as possible, and they
should be well ventilated at all times

breakfast would taste it all day and
usually go to bed with headache.
"One day father brought home
pkg. of Postum recommended by our
grocer. Mother made it according to
directions on the box and it just hit
the spot" 1t has a dark, seal-brown
color changing to golden brown when
cream is added, and a snappy taste
similar to mild, high-grade coffee. and
we found that its continued use speed

this, been a standing order of fathers

Sober Frenchmari.

Perhaps the last thing that hasty
English visitors to Paris become aware
Of is the quietness, the thoroughness,
and the simplicity of French family
life. Behind the volatile and flippant
ways of the theaters, the cafes, and
the newspapers there is hidden an ex-
traordinary amount Of hard work,
grave routine, and signal simplicity OF
living. To this family life the strang.
er is with difficulty admitted. The
casual acquaintance Is not made free,
as In England, of such realities. We
venture the opinion that the highly
respectable life of French country
houses is dull beyond anything con.
ceived Of in similar houses In Eng
land. But in Paris the gay and the
plodding lives to a great extent over
lap, and lead to the confusion of the
visitor.-Spectator.
