There is so much good to do and so
much evil to remedy in this society

"The street outside the building was
blocked by an immense crowd, which
broke out every moment into fierce
groans. AS came nearer I could
make out that one part of the crowd
was groaning for Austria, while the
other was groaning for Russia. On
one point they were evidently agreed,
namely, the political significance to
be attached to the crime which had
just taken place.

paused to put on an overcoat.

almost in the same words which you
have used this evening:
Pardon, baron. but there is white
thread on the back of your coat
Il thanked him, and turned the coat
over to look for it. On the back

ordinary enough in appearance, but

1t. l found to my surprise that it was
firmly attached to the material of the

Il drew the coat on again, think

said goodnight to the equerry, and
started to walk home by myself. There
was a bright moon, but the streets
were deserted, unusually so, consid-
ering that the hour was by no means
a late one.
When I had proceeded some dis
lance, however, perceived in front of
me a miserable-looking creature on
clutches, with bandage over one eye,
who boldly stopped me, and began to
beg for aims.

on. another man came up from behind.
He paused moment, as IL to ascer-

the beggar left me, and commenced
to assail the newcomer. I seized the
opportunity to make my escape, and
reached my house without further in

But the events of this night were
not over. As soon as l got in, went
straight to my safe, and locked away

confided to me by NJ. Starovitch. As

attendants, lay the man who had sat
at the dinner-table with me an hour
before, still extended on the shutter on
which he must have been brought
there from the scene of the crime, and
literally weltering in his blood. Some
OF his clothes had been removed and
flung into a corner, when arrived,
and a doctor, who must have preceded
me by barely minute, was turning
over the body of the unconscious man,
in his search for the fatal wound.
Il was just in time to see it-a hide
GUS pit in the back, into which could
haye thrust my two fingers, and from
which the thick black blood began to
ooze afresh as the doctor shifted the
position of the victim.
Il turned my eyes away, with a
feeling of sickness, while the doctor
began to call for lint and warm wa.

remedies were destined to be of the
slightest avail. AS my averted gaze
wandered round the hall, it was ar
rested by the pile of clothing which
l have already mentioned.
Something which could not under.

WINNESHIEK TEACHERS.
State Has Provided Way to Prepare
Themselves i'm the Summer
Sessions at Iowa State
College.

Winneshiek county teachers who
must get ready 10 teach home econo-
mics in the rural schools this fall
will find that the state has provid-
ed a way for them to prepare them
selves in the summer sessions at
Iowa State college, which are open
to them without the payment of tu-
ition.
This work at Ames is not taught
in the usual college or high school
fashion, but in such a disable way
that teachers may take home with
them the very practical things and
methods that they need in their ru-
raj school rooms. Much of the work
centers about the preparation Of
warm noon day lunches for school
children, that having proved itself
a most effective basis for teaching
home economics in the country
school. The instruction also in
includes the use OF specially de-
vised domestic science cabinet for
rural schools. The three or four
hundred teachers who had this train
ing last summer have written en-
thusiastic letters of endorsement OF
the helpfulness of this kind Of train
ing.
Not only is tuition free for these
courses, but the grades are accepted
direct on the certificate by the state
board of educational examiners.
Teachers may come for either of the
two six weeks terms beginning June
IA or July 26.

Bucknells Big 19c Sale.

Bucknell's Economy Store is MAX
ing preparations for a big 10 cent
sale which starts next Saturday and

store has given some great sales in
the past, but this nineteen cent sale
promises to eclipse all former ones.
There are hundreds of items in gran
iteware, enamel ware, aluminium,
garden tools, brooms, ladies and
gents wear, etc. One big item is a
fine 9X14X7 rooster, which is Won
derful bargain. In fact there are so
many big items from every depart
ment of the store, that it would be
impossible to enumerate all. Suffice
to say that the goods will be on sale
next Saturday, and the Economy

enormous business on the many big
items they are offering for only 10
cents. Their advertisement in this

Down in Maine has no william,
no mystery, no long-lost child, no

its hopes and its fears. Bright hu-

spectators are often tempted to
believe that they have stepped from
