 Since that written the Germans have occupied Antwerp and extended their operations the with the evident intention of taking the Bel gan and French ports the North Sea and the English Channel Can it be possible that with that aim accom- defy the allies to oust them?
 It seems unlikely.

The value of the incident enhanced because it was inspired by thought where the chips might fly. It part of the days work.
 It concerns the given by County Attorney Gil more for compromising case which he was prosecuting against a woman prisoner. She had seriously wounded with razor another woman and it was believed that charge of attempted murder would be pressed In ac ceptng plea of guilty to simple assault Mir Gilmore said
 'I offered to compromise this because looked upon the effort necessary send this to the itentiary useless. l will the county money by taking the step have and allowing her plead guilty to simple assault certain that can convict her and have her sentenced term in the Florence prison but I am also crtain that she would not be behind re bars single day and would be at liberty more

 Prosecutor Gilmore was forced by circumstances to make the above humiliatng confession He knew, all except blind parzans of Governor know, that jus tice in Arizona fetered the Hunt prison policies Prosecutor Gilmore was forced from the path of duty because of the futity of pursuing of opposition against which he was powerless. There question the of the and the ad- equacy of the law to deal with it. but the shadow States highest official darkened the dark every court the State and who will say that it does not also sway the minds judges jures?

Suicide Advised BY Doctor.

A curious letter from a physician
was read In the Paris courts at the
hearing Of case in which Pierre Ju-
vim and Jean Jullard, chemists, were
charged with the Illegal sale Of GER
tain narcotics.
The letter in question, which was
signed by Doctor Gaudin. stated that
the writer had treated Nine. Delyigne-
Dambricourt. in an effort to cure her
Of the drug habit. After her use Of
morphine and cocaine had been COM
pletely stopped, Doctor Gauden made
out for her prescription into the
composition of which black drops
Vinegar of opium entered. The
letter concluded with the following
curious sentence:
This prescription should be re-
newed according to the needs of Nine.
Delvigne- Dambricourt, and l advise
her to continue with 1t. since she
finds it suits her. or II not, to have
recourse to absinthe or to suicide,
which is, after all. the best way to
escape from all the manias and mis-
cries of existence
1t was this letter which Mr.. Juvin
advanced as his excuse for having sup
piled Nine Delvigne-D ambricourt with
black drops. The court, however. or
dered both Messrs. Juvin and Jullard
to pay a fine of 500 francs each

cI,no 70 Old Beliefs.

Honday-makers who visit the Eng
Hsh Lakeland, and regard it as
beautiful place In which to rest from
strenuous work in order to be fit for
harder work. would probably be sur
prised to learn that in the quiet ham
let's among the Cumbrian fells motor
cars are still regarded as curiosities,
and superstitious customs and be-
iefs are much as they were a hun
dred years ago. Funeral feasts have
lost much OF their character, but a
number OF curious customs still sur
vive. The bees have at once to be
informed Of any death that takes
place. Some one, generally woman
dressed in black, whispers to them
what has occurred. Sometimes they
take a holiday in consequence. At
other times they continue their work,
but. In any case, hives are braided
with black, and on the day Of the
funeral wine and sweet butter are
placed In the garden or orchard for
their consolation. A elk scarf is
usually distributed to each man who
attends funeral, and there was one
person SO much In demand for these
melancholy occasions that in time he
had collected sufficient number of
scarfs to allow of his wife making her
self q brand new silk dress.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE MOLE
Old Superstitions Gave Some Form Of
Meaning for 1t, Wherever Il
Appeared.

According to very old superstition
every mole possesses special signifi-
canoe, depending on the part of the
body on which 1t appears Thus a
mole on the, right cheek is said to
signify happiness in love affairs, while
on the left promises an early mar
riage.
A mole on the left cheek or left
arm signifies adverse fortune, par
ticularly as regards love affairs. On
the left hand, the possession OF a
mole betokens an unfortunate (from
the worldly point of view marriage.
Moles on the right cheek or arm, In
combination with one or more on the
left hand, point to more good fortune
In love affairs than in money matters.
A mole at the corner of the right eye
predicts rich and indulgent husband,
A mole on the right side Of the
chin shows good fortune. long life and
happy marriage. A mole ON the
chin, If 1t be light yellow In color,
shows a woman to be good house
wife. If brown in color 1t portends a
happy married life. but possibly tFou-
blesome children.
A mole in that unusual position. the
tip of the nose. shows that the owner,
If woman, is likely to excite much
admiration, but in consequence at
tract very jealous lovers. She must
therefore be very careful and exercise
caution and discretion in her dealings
with all her admirers.
A sure sign of health, present OF
future, is to have mole at the right
hand corner of ones mouth On the
other hand, mole at the left-hand
corner of the mouth is a warning to
its owner to beware Of treachery and
of false lover

BLAME PLACED ON WOMEN
Claim 10 Made That They "set the.
Pace" for tho Mad Social Sea-
son In London.

The London season Just before the
war was styled by leading banker
and social leader as a season of
dementia." Look at the women dress
ing, or undressing" said he. Sin fash
ion that makes every right-minded
man blush for them. Look at the rage
for Russian ballet, which Is purely
sensual satisfaction! The suffragettes
are not any madden than the rest OF
the women of London" Mr.. Philip
Gibbs, an English novelist and Jour
nalist, characterizes the season as
the gayest and most sensational in
living memory, and says: 1t was the
women who set the pace. At the
very beginning of the season It was
obvious that they were out for SEN
sation, for audacity, for a splendid
time at all costs" This description
Of society at the great English me-
tropolis is not altogether inapplicable
to social life in cities. big and little.
in this country. There is the same
extravaganza In entertaining, the lib
erty In dress, the same mania for a
new sensation, the same lack of re-
straint. And Mr.. Gibbs ia right when
he says it is woman who sets the
pace" Women have not only al.
lowed this era of madness to have
full swing, but have been the leading
spirits in It,
What will the harvest be, when the
young people who are now being ush-
cred into social life under such a
regime themselves arrive at the age
when they will set the pace for 9TH

PHRASES OF BUSINESS MEN
May Be New to Most People But
Those In. the World Of Business
Recognize Them at Once.

The commonest commercial phrases
are liable to be new to many people.
Thus "B. L." Sd. A." and ID. s.. may
mean little to the man who is not in
the world of business, although his
commercial brother recognizes them
at once an bill of lading." days
after acceptance" and days after
sight"
But when 1t comes to the nautical
commercial phrases. the average man
Is lost "A E." for instance, means
that vessel Is of the third class and
can carry perishable goods on short
trips only. "E" means that the ship
is In such condition that 1t can carry
only such goods as cannot be dam
aged by sea, and 81" which Is the
low mark, shortens the length of the
voyage made by vessels in class z"
A first-class ship is lettered al" "a
one), and, when she has deteriorated
to the class below "a" that letter is
painted In red. The symbol for good
machinery and boilers is M. c."
which the average person would in
terpret as member of congress.
Signs in the medical profession are
even more cryptic. When layman
reads "Coch. umplum'' on bottle he
feels like deserving his physician and
getting translator to calm his fears.
This notice, however, is just the doc
tors playful way of telling him to
take a tablespoonful of the prescrip-
ton. If the dose Is wine glass. the
physician writes "Cyanth." and lets
1t go at that It" to the physician
means one; II" means two; "ss"
means half. and ISIS" means one and
q half.
The medical symbols for drop and
drop by drop sound like Choctaw In
dian cursing. "Gtt" is the proper
words for the first and "guttatim"
stands for the second.
