TRIO, BUAfAfING FOR FUN,
WELCOME A "REAL BED

Three Topeka lads, out on O
cumming" tour. succumbed to the
offer of real bed last night and
slept amid surroundings to which
they are more accustomed than to
the barns and freight cars in which
they have been stopping for several
days past. The three boys decided
that they would spend a week or so
bumming over Kansas. Their parents
are well-to-do residents OF Topeka,
and wagered the lads that their
rowing spirits would be tanned quick
ly should they take to covering
many miles of sunny Kansas on top
of freight cars and under threshing
engines. But the boys stuck to
their intentions, and after an ad-
venturesome time, reached Abilene.
Last night they were recognized
by Mr.. Kingsley. SON OF H. A. |
Kingsley, president Of the Kaw Paw
ing company, who lives at Topeka.
The Topeka trio announced the in
tention of going west on a night

Iene boy accompanied them to the

noticed clouds come up,

 February will be big month in the calendar of Welch, for beside containing the anniversaries of his fall from the automobile, it also marks his fall from the ranks of the bachelors. It is hard for Harry to judge which event seemed the most serious at the time, his acci- dent or his marriage.

 It was close after the first Sun Fete that Welch. together with Ralph Earle. the camera man for Pathe's Weekly, were making their trip to the Roosevelt dam. A bad turn on the Roosevelt highway caught the ear just as it had an accident to its steering gear and the result was that it went nose off the bank. Welch was thrown out and fell on a rock, splitting his head and all but killing him. He was taken to Globe for treatment and returned to Phoe nix some weeks later with his top all bandaged and his countenance resem- bling that of a wounded veteran.

TRIAL OF DAMIENS

Robert Francis Damiens met with a horrible death for having made an attempt on the life of Louis XV of France in 1757. He was the son of i1 poor laborer of Artois. He lived in various menial situations previous to 1756, when he was taken into the service of Russian merchant then in Paris. He boarded with a Mrs. | ortier, and on the fifth of January, 1757, he made to her the eXtraordi- nary request to send for surgeon to bleed him. The landIady, imagining he was testing. failed to do so, and when confronted by her at his trial he insisted that had he been bled as he desired he would not have com mitted the crime.
 On the afternoon of this day the king went to Versailles to pay a visit to the princess, and upon leaving her apartments. accompanied by the Dauphin and the whole court, Dami ems. who had been lurking in hol- low at the bottom of the stairway, rushed in among the courtiers, post led the Dauphin, and laying hold of his majesty with one hand. with the other he stabbed him in the right side.
 The WOuld-be murderer was seized by one of the kings footmen. He committed him to the care of the guards. Upon being questioned all he would reply was, Let them take care of my lord, the Dauphn; do not let my lord go out for the rest Of the day" These words indicated that he had accomplices, and he was urged to reveal them. but Damiens answered that they were q great way off by this time. These mysterious remarks caused the guard to put him 1 to the torture. Accordingly they 1 placed him near great fire in the guard room and applied red hot 1 tongs to his legs, but it was all in ! vain, for Damiens, instead of reveal | ing anything, upbraided the lord l keeper with being in great meas ure the author of the public troubles ] and betrayer of the rights of par | lament
 l Damiens was removed from the jail at efSallIcS to lHe tOHCleTBeIle III Paris. and on Saturday. the 26th ot ! March, he was examined for the
 last time by his judges. A number oi questions were put to him, 1T lansWering which he denied intention to kill the king. No witnesses were called, for the attempt at murder was too apparent and the attorney gen
 eral demanded that Damiens should
 suffer the same kind of death that Francis Ravaillac had suffered fol
 the murder of King Henry ". Ina

 razed to the ground: that no othel
 building should ever be one tha
 spot: that his father, wife anc
 daughter should quit the Kingdom
 and never return under pain o
 death: and that his brothers ant
 sisters should change their names
 The proof being clear, the judge,
 agreed to the attorney generals de
 mand.
 III It was ordered that Damien:
 should again be tortured in the hope
 that accomplices would be revealed |i At | o'clock on the morning o
