SHORT CIRCUIT FATAL
Three Are Killed and Three Injured
at Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 29.-When
Cornelius w. Valkhoff went out
to his rabbit hutch to obtain a
hare for a birthday dinner, he
stepped into a water puddle as
he touched the latch of the hutch
gate and fell dead. An electric cable
leading to a nearby crematory had
broken during the night and turned
it's 1900 volt current into the wire
fence surrounding the hutch. Later
two others were killed and three in
jured. Mrs. Valkhoff rushed out to
aid her husband and stepped into the
puddle. She touched his hand and
fell across his body.
Harris Skinner, a neighbor, was the
next to invade the fatal short circuit,
bent on rendering aid and he, too, fell
dead.
The three others were injured in an
effort to recover the bodies which
proved impossible until the current
had been shut off.

London. March How it feels tic

this feeling in the last half year, but
I venture to say that not one or them

that you did the right thing.
My experience was like that. was

He had fastened a small mirror to the
twig and was looking at the German
trenches, when suddenly he ex-

ran down the trench, got my gun
and came back to the loophole. L was
so excited I could hardly aim.
Through the hole I saw German
standing on the edge of his trench.
He had been carrying a huge board
and had rested it against his back
while he tried to light his pipe.
"Get Him." Says Officer.
"Get him, Get him." said the lieu
tenant
I fired and missed. The German
struck another match and merely
looked contemptuously at the spot in
space where the bullet had whizzed
past him. He was only 45 feet away
from me, but, through the loophole l
could see only part of his body and

man trying to keep his balance. Then
he fell forward on his face.
L turned around to look at the lieu

proud. A wave of remorse came over
me; it was the chou shalt not kill, :"
that is buried deep in every sane man

"And you shot an unarmed man"

I felt like a dog. 1t seemed to me
that 1 must find some human being
who would say that I had done right.
I told another soldier about it.
Served him right said the SOL
der. He'd have done the same thing
to you"
Those were splendid words for me.
I had slouched along the trench be-
fore 1 met him. After that I held up
my head. But the two feelings, the
pride and the remorse, fought in my
mind.
At last 1 told it all to an old legion

you have refused to shoot under the
eye of the lieutenant? War is kill

FLAVOR OF FOOD.
It Is an Important Factor In Digestion
 and Good Health.

It Is an Important Factor In Digestion
 and Good Health.
 If 1t were not for flavor we should not digest our food properly. Epicu. reanism in eating is the handmaid of good health. Flavor has been called the soul of food. The viands that are most agreeable to our sense of taste, those we enjoy most, are those we are most likely to digest well and from which we are most likely to derive the maximum of nourishment
 A book was devoted to this subject by Henry T. Finck of New York. He called it Food and Flavor" In re- view of it the Scientific American says: "The psychic factor of desire must pre- cede ingestion or results will be unpro- pitious. To each cent spent for nutri. ment we add five more for flavor. Fla vor. in short. has an appetizing value, a health value, commercial value
 "The evolution of discriminating appetite and the education of the cook must go hand in hand. But your glut. ton is never an epicure. Rational mns- tication must accompany the highest enjoyment of food, and in this enjoy ment lie perfect assimilation and health. It is flavor that stimulates the flow of the digestive juices; 1t is the digestive juices that prepare the food for the extraction of nutriment"

The Professor Waa Wrono,

Several decades ago learned profess sor delivered course of lectures. in one of which he proved to his own sat isfaction that the Atlantic ocean could never be crossed by steam. Steam power had been discovered and ap- piled on land, but he was confident it could never be applied to the ocean. Under the peculiar conditions of the heaving tides. the danger of storms. the rolling of the tide, and so forth you could never apply steam to navi- gation across the Atlantic. The book in which that lecture was published was on the first steamer that crossed the Atlantic. The captain took it along as sort of curiosity. That book did not have a very large sale. but there has been quite run of steamers ever since. and the professor ceased to argue that steam could not be utilized on the ocean.-Christian Herald.

THEY PLAYED MARBLES.
One Street Game In Which Lincoln

 An elderly gentleman now residing in Washington tells this story about Abraham Lincoln:
 "1 was about ten years of age and given violently to the game of mar bles. One cold March day my compan- ions and l were playing on the side walk before my fathers shop when l slipped on piece of ice and fell, cut ting my chin. The other boys seized as many of my marbles as they could and made off. Wild with anger, started after them, calling them names and threatening to annihiate them, and so on. Suddenly hand on my collar stopped me, and deep voice said:
 "'We've got enough i'll feeling going on in this country these days without you boys catching it!
 "A big man swung me around and wiped my wounded chin and then went on:
 "l saw what they did, son. Have you any agates left? Good! I'll put up three chiny alleys. and we'll see who'll win
 "He drew from his pocket three mar. bles.
 "I got them from my boy Tad he explained. and then l knew who he was.
