The sun went down blood red, and
the sky was crinsoned almost to the
zenith. 1t seemed as IL all the north
were on fire. The river burned In the
glow, and the sky took on tints that
ranged from cardinal to pink. Just as
the whole place seemed about to burst
into flame. the sun dropped out Of
sight. and the glaring reds began to
mellow into softer shades, the river
lost its glow OF fire. and the sky dulled
and dimmcd until 1t looked like great
inverted dome that had been white
hot and was cooling slowly.
There were no other shades than the
shades of fire--none of the usual ma
rooms and cerises and garnets that
come as the aftermath of mountain
sunsets. Everything was carmine.
The air quivered redly, and the trees
and the grass were rubescent. All
this softened gradually into a glowing
one toned mass of color. Then, at
twenty minutes past IL. at point
that seemed not more than half a mile
along the horizon from the place where
the sun disappeared, there came a
golden glory that spread evenly over
the Redeemed sky. The sun was rising

The annual "swear-off'' season is
now supposed to be at hand. So
much derision has been INDUCED in
regarding this matter that the event
has perhaps lost much of its force
for good, but nevertheless ii is a
good idea and no one-man or
woman-need be ashamed of its
practice. There are various things
we could swear on from which
would be all the better, no doubt,
for our mode of living. 1t is better

riculum- of every school or college.
The necessity for such an innovation
has been apparent for years. The

valuable and intelligent rivalry
could be maintained by deciding
upon the most important event that

To AVOID ACCIDENTS
Mine Operators Adopt "Safety First
Suggestion of Mcbride.

Kansas mining operators have
agreed to cooperate with the state
department of labor in an attempt to
minimize the number of accidents in
surface coal mining resulting from
careless or improper methods of
blasting, Paul Mcbride, state labor
commissioner, announced today.
Mr.. Mcbride asserted that on num-
bers of properties, especially in the
southeastern part of the state, little
care had been taken in the handling
of explosives and as a result many
men have been injured and a number
have lost their eyesight. The method
employed in surface mining, he said
was 20 drill down to the coal. Then,
after a small charge of dynamite had
been exploded at the bottom of, the
drill hole to clear the way for pow
der, black powder was poured into it.
Mr.. Mcbride said that ordinarily the
miner stood over the hole and
poured half of the desired amount of
powder and then, while still standing
over it, he threw in a lighted fuse
two or three inches long and slowly
poured the remaining powder on top
of the fuse and tamped it, the idea
being that in that way all Of the
powder might be ignited.
Inspectors of the department or
as result, he said, most of the oper-
ators have taken steps to install
equipment which will explode the
powder by electricity and the powder
cans are being fitted with handles
with which the miner may stand sew
eral feet away from the hole and
pour the explosive.

PARIS With TOXIC
France Joins in Protest
Against Celestial Monarchy.
Chinese Transition May Be De-
Iayed Until War Ends.

Picking, Nov. 3.-France has given
her support to the representations
made to China by Japan, Great Britain
and Russia, concerning the advisable
ity of postponing the decision as to re-
adjustment of a monarchy.
Although the French government
was not represented in the original
action and accordingly was believed
to have decided 20 abstain from par
ticipation, today the French minister,
A. R. Comfy, called at the foreign Of
flee and gave verbal ratification of
the request of the other three powers.
Notwithstanding the declination of
the Chinese government to postpone
the decision on the ground that the
matter now rests in the hands of the
people, it is possible that the actual
change in the form of government, if
decided upon, may not be made for
some time. There is an unverified
rumor that if the election now in
progress results in favor of a mon
archy, coronation of the emperor will
be delayed until the conclusion of the
European war.
Discussing the refusal of the United
States to support the Japan represen-
tations, the Picking News, which re-
fleets the views of the government,
says editorially:
Had America acquiesced to pres
sure upon China at this critical mo-
ment, the country bent upon predatory
adventure under the never failing
guise of maintaining peace in the far
east would have been encouraged.
America evidently is watching events
attentively, which may be disquieting
to others, but is a source of comfort
and encouragement to China"

Mankato Man; Farmer Will Die.

Mankato. Kan, Nov. 3.-While one
woman is IN Jail here and another
under, surveillance for the shooting
of ]. L. Robbins at his farm north of
Mankato, last Saturday night, it is
not yet established that the guilty
person is held. About seven o'clock
Saturday evening Robbins appeared
at neighbors, badly wounded, one
shot having crushed the bones in his
hand, another passing through the
shoulder and :nto the chest Robbins
claims that his I1orsekeeper, a Mrs.
Drake did the shooting, though he is
at loss to understand why and so far
has given no possible motive. Pres
ent, in the room when the shooting
occurred, was Mrs. brakes mother
and an S-year-old girl, a niece of Mrs,
Drake. The little girl claims that
she saw the woman point something
at Robbins but so far Mrs. Drake
sticks steadfastly to her first story
that she knows nothing of matter
whatever. Her preliminary is to be
held Friday. Robbins, it is claimed
by physicians, will die.
