storm Mr.. Tom Milford found a

drowned and to revive them he
started a fire, and while he and his
wife were seated near the fire dry
ing the fowls, there was An explo-

loaded cartridge which must have
been swept into the fire place with
some papers. The shot entered Mrs.

some striking Mr.. Milford. It was
found that she was not seriously

After the Harvest

reaper's work is done. Now comes a
force to chill our mirth and scatter
figures DER the earth for those who

wheat were made in macaroni tubes
and laid across the realms of space.
'twould reach at least from here to
Mars or elsewhere up among the
stars, and tickle Saturn's face Some
other tabulated jay sets forth statis.
tics in this way to veX the weary
brain: If all the wheat the farmers
raised were served as pretzels. highly

socials far and wide and fill most
every small boys hide with sundry

matte shark wags on from dawn till
after dark, and gives the world a
pain. Far better that he learn to
plow and let the farmer teach him
how to raise this golden grain. -

Soldiers Receive Small Pay

The Russian soldier is the most
poorly paid in all the world. A pri
vate in the ranks of the army of the
czar gets $3.7S a year, compared to
$3.50 to $500 in the United States pays
its men of the ranks. England pays
its privates $S6.15 a year; France,
$20.4O; Germany, $3.50; Austria $S.12
Remember. these figures are for a
whole year and represent the total
amount of cash paid the fighting men
in that period.
A Russian major general gets only
1852 a year, or about as much as the
United States pays its sergeant maj.
ors, the highest noncommissioned
rank. Our major generals get $4,000
a year. The other countries are much
more generous with officers of higher
rank and pay a minimum of about
half the United States standard.
A better example of the Russian
contract is shown in what is paid an
officer holding the title of general
over there. Il Russian general gets
S1,272. The United States pays its
second lieutenants, young fellows,
just out of West Point, $1,700 year.

Pope Pious X is Dead

Rome, Aug. 20.-Pope Plus X died
at 1920 O'Clock this morning. He had
been i'll for several days, but alarm
ing symptoms did not develop until
Wednesday morning.
Throughout the day Rrs. Marchia-
fava and Amici devoted their utmost
energies to stimulate their patient
and keep him alive. The cardinals
were notified of the popes grave con-
dition. and some of them who entered
the sick room describe the impress
sive and heart-rendering scenes, es-
necially when the pontiff. rousing
himself from time to time. spoke.
Once he said:
I'm ancient times, the pope, by a
word, might have stayed the slaugil-
ter but now he is impotent."
The Giornale d'Italia, discussing the
difficulties of holding a conclave for
the election Of pope while the world
is at war, says that even if Italy were
among the belligerents every facility
would be given the sacred college to
meet. 1t expressed the belief that
new pope might be chosen from am
ong the foreign cardinals, for instance
Cardinal William Van Rossum of the
archdiocese of Utrecht, The Neither
lands, who would be representative
Of neutral power.
