New York, Dec 24,--Grateful TO The

Kenneth G. Triest, 10, has Just re-
turned to his home in Brooklyn Triest,
held as spy and imprisoned in the
Tower OF London probably would
have been shot had not the colonel in
terceded.
Attorney J. Mayhem Wainwright,
who went to Washington in the young
mans behalf to get the state depart
meut to intervene. gave out a letter he
had received from Colonel Roosevelt
after Triests release was promised
aud in which the colonel wrote:
IF the boy shall appear to be still of
unbalanced mind my own judgment is
that he ought to be sent to some sani-
tarium, at least until the war is over
Il he has in any way recovered, then
Mr.. Triest should bring him to me and
give me an opportunity to explain to
him in the presence of his father and
Of yourself the terrible character Of
the offense he has committed and the
heavy load of obligation he and his
family are under to the British gov
eminent.
( II wish him to understand that the
Offense in his case is not only an Of
Tense against the law of honor as un-
derstood by gentlemen, an offense If it
had been committed when his mind
was balanced, would unfit him for as
I ISOLATION with any soldiers OF a high
standard Of professional and personal
probity and honor The boy should be
made to understand the mercy and
magnanimity with which the British
government has treated him"
F.! Colonel Roosevelt also compared
young Triest's case with that of Miss
Caven in his letter to Mr.. Wainwright,
saying;
He (the boy) should understand
and appreciate the contrast between
the conduct of the British governments
in his case and the conduct of the Ger.

sanetioning what, in order to be truth.

Miss Cavell was butchered for &C.

Confederate governments that it was

Dear Mrs Thompson: We are two
high school girls Of 16 and II years
of age.
~ While visiting in another town
one of us fell desperately in love with
a boy two years her senior, but as she
has been going with fellow in her
home town for about year would it
be right for her to wear the pin of the
boy from out of town?

pies. but are good-l0oking otherwise

surrendered. At the time Cravens
was bitter in his hatred of Lund and
repeatedly made the threat that some
day before his life was gone he
would get" Lund. blaming him for
capture and the death of his partner.
He has since repeated that threat
many times but with life sentence

hasn't much chance to carry out his
plans.
Two years ago, when he was on
trial at Guthrie, Okla, charged with

who years before had terrorized all

BRONCHIAL COUGHS

When the bronchial tubes are af-
fected with that weakening, tickling
cough, they need immediate and SEN
sible treatment. The breath seems
shorter because of mucous obstruc-
tions; usually fever is present and
your head jars with every cough.
Your chest aches and the inhamma-
ton often spreads to the lungs.
The food-tonic that has proven its
worth for forty years-is SCOTS Emul-
sion. 1t drives out the cold, which
is the root of the trouble, and checks
the cough by aiding the healing
process of the enfeebled membranes.
II you are troubled with bronchitis
or know an afflicted friend, always re-
member that Scott's Emulsion builds
strength while relieving the trouble.
