Some years ago It was the custom
m France to conduct condemned Grim
mails through gaping crowds Of idle
spectators to the public ~guillotine.
On n such occasion. the unfor-
tunate, seated upon his coffin III the
cart, heard a would-be wit In the
crowd remark to a companion:
"Well, I'll bet that fellow doesn't
feel much like laughing"
The coarse attempt at q joke stung
the prisoner, and when he arrived at
the scaffold, he asked that the proceed
ings might be stayed a moment as he
had q confession to make.
ALTHOUGH / denied 1t at my trial, /

Great excitement ensued.
The person designated was seized By
the gendarmes with no gentle hands
md placed on the scaffold beside his
accuser.
Such q fearful spectacle of abject
terror as the joker presented was
never before witnessed in that SOM
Der locality.
After enjoying his helpless fright
tor q few moments, the fated convict
said to the official in charge:
HE tried to make sport Of my suf-
ferings, but the man is innocent. And
as Q as he seemed to be sure that It
was no laughing matter for me to be
here, ] was curious to see how much
such q funny fellow would laugh un-
der similar circumstances himself"

No man in this city eyer kept 80

Scores Of men borrowed money from

was his custom to give them cash and
not a check.
Here is an example Of the old mill
nonaire's method which I have from
Frederick A. Richie, whose plant for
making testing machines is a neighbor
Of the Weightman chemical factory.
I'VE often had occasion to borrow
money, and we used to go to Mr..
Weightman's Office and ask him for the
loan Of some cash. Mr.. Weightman
never refused, and after listening to
q story quietly and patiently would
reach around to one of his many fire.

LORD KITCHENER AND STAFF
FIND WATERY GRAVE OFF
ORKNEY ISLANDS

Earl Kitchener, Great Britains Secre-
tary of State for War, and his staff,
proceeding to Russia aboard the cruiser
Hampshire, were lost off the Orkney
Islands on the night of June 5.
This was the most stunning blow
Great Britain has received since the war
began, and is the second shock the
country has sustained within a week.
The other was the first report Of the
naval battle in the North Sea.
The vessel was sunk either by mine
or torpedo. Admiral Jellicoe's report
to the admiralty is as follows:
II have to report with deep regret that
his majesty's ship Hampshire, Captain
Herbert J. Savill R. N, with Lord Kitch-
ener and his staff on board, was sunk
last night at about 8 o'clock to the west
Of the Orkneys, either by a mine or a
torpedo.
'Four boats were seen by observers
on shore to leave the ship. The wind
was north northwest and heavy seas
were running. Patrol vessels and de-
stroyers at once proceeded to the spot
and a party was sent along the coast
to search, but only some bodies and a
capsized boat have been found up to the
present. AS the whole shore has been
searched from the seaward [ greatly
fear that there is little hope of there be-
ing any survivors.
mo report has yet been received from
the search party on shore.
III. NJ S. Hampshire was on her way
to Russia"

PREPAREDNESS DEMANDED BY
MARCHERS

Chicago witnessed what is said to be
the greatest parade in the country's his
tory, on June 3, the gigantic demonstra-
tion being an expression of the prepared
ness sentiment of the middle west.
Along a line of march three and a
quarter miles in length, men and women
passed, eight abreast, from 9 o'clock in
the forenoon until late at night.
There were practically three parties.
The first began at nine in the morning,
the second-almost continuous with the
first-at 1 80 in the afternoon, while the
military did not begin it's march until
6:3O in the evening. By actual count,
130,214 people passed the reviewing
stand in front of the Art Institute, while
fully 100000 spectators were massed
along the line of march.
About 300 bands took part in the
parade. At the hour of nine they
struck up '"The Star-Spangled Banner" !"
and marchers and spectators sang the
national air in concert, as the great pro-
cessiOn swung up Michigan avenue At
p. M, "America," Preparedness for
Peace and "Dixie" were sung in con-
cert by the vast concourse of people.
In the great parade but one flag was
| displayed-the Stars and Stripes. Each
organization marching, however, carried
a standard bearing it's name The
women relieved certain monotony with
gayer garments than the men, and with
deftly designed color effects. The men
marched quietly and gravely, for the
most part, while the women laughed
and sang.
The sight of a thousand women
marching shoulder to shoulder from one
great business house was a demonstra-
tion of their voting strength in the af-
fairs of the nation.
Messages giving the exact numbers in
line were sent to President Wilson and
to every congressman, urging them to
heed the call of the country and provide
such measures of defense as shall render
the United States safe against attack.

was at last restored, Mr.. Robins prom

WOMEN MARCH IN DOWNPOUR
OF RAIN

In drenching rain, and buffeted by
raw wind, 5,341 women marched in
the suffrage parade in Chicago, on June
Z. Had the weather been fair, several
times that number would have been in
line. From the approach of the van
guard, until the last marcher had passed,
the spectators evinced their admiration
in one unbroken ovation. One Chicago
paper says:
Never before in the history Of Chi
cago-probably of the world-has there
been SO impressive and determined a
demonstration of idealism, of consecra-
tion to a cause.'

The Orkney Islands, off which the
Hampshire went down, are off the north
coast of Scotland
Lord Kitchener was known as the
silent soldier. His personality is said
to have been as impregnable as hardened
steel. He was not hero that could be
loved. Even the war Office had no pro-
nounced liking for him, but on all sides
there was profound respect for his mill
tary efficiency and for the great services
he had rendered in extending the do
mains of the British Isles. His chief
characteristics were GOODNESS and per-
sistence. He was the embodiment of
stern militarism, taciturn, unsmiling
and alert. Those who knew him best
said that he was intensely human, but
the world only recognized him as the
bluff, reticent soldier and commander,
who relentlessly put down the natives at
Khartoum, and suppressed the Beers in
South Africa.
Kitchener was the one outstanding
personality whom the English people
talked of and believed in as great man,
notwithstanding the bitter attacks of his
opponents. He represented their ma
tional ideals of answering determina-
tion and bulldog tenacity.
The thing which perhaps entities Lord
Kitchener to place in world history
more than any other, is that within the
pasttw years, since the beginning of the
war, he has organized the largest volun-
teer army that the world has ever seen,
and in the greatest war of all times. All
the other great powers that entered the
war had huge standing armies and a
compulsory military service, while Great
Britain alone faced the issue with con-
fidence that it's people would readily re-
spond to the call of king and country
without compulsion.
Lord Kitchener at that time told the
British people that they had a bigger war
on their hands than they realized and
that it would last at least three years.
Two years of that time have now almost
elapsed, with but little prospect of peace
in sight.
Within a year from the outbreak of
the war the ranks of British fighting
men were increased from less than
100000 to nearly 100000, these re-
cruits having been drawn, for the most
part, from the British Isles. A con-
siderable portion, however, had come
from Canada, Australia, and British
possessions in other parts of the world.
1t was in the accomplishment of this
gigantic task that his surprising genius
for organization especially shone.
While England is stunned by the loss
of her greatest soldier, it is not likely
that his death will have any very ma
terial bearing on the course of the war.
His work of organization had, in large
measure, been accomplished, and it is
probable that all departments of the
service were in such condition that the
work which he started will go on without
interruption.

The engagement began about 4
o'clock in the afternoon and continued
until after darkness, or about 9 o'clock.
This was followed by series of sepa-
rate engagements through the night.
AS news Of the battle slowly developed,
it became clear that it was the most
frightful and destructive in all history,
having only been approached by the
naval battle of Tsushima, in the Japa-
nese-Russian war, in which Fl Russian
crafts were sunk.
The admitted British losses are IA
warships of various grades, including
the battle cruisers Queen Mary, Inde-
fatigable, and the Invimcible; also the
cruisers Defence, Black Prince and
Warrior. Eight destroyers were sent
to the bottom The German losses, as
reported from Berlin, were the battle
ship Pomanaeqr, the cruisers Wiesbade1
and Frauenlob, and an unknown num-
Der Of destroyers.
Great Britain's admitted loss of ton
mage was 14,810. The tonnage Of Ger
many's admitted losses, as published in
first reports, was but 1912. This has
since been increased to 32,515 Reports
regarding the loss Of life in the engage
ment greatly vary, but is believed to
have been at least 5000 men, at a con-
servative estimate.
An official statement, issued by the
British admiralty, says that evidence is
at hand to show that the North Sea dis
aster to the British navy was in reality
a victory over the Germans. The state
ment even goes SO far as to declare that
the German accounts are false, their
losses being greater than the British,
mot merely relatively to the strength
of the two fleets, but absolutely
Reports seem to agree on the fact that
some of Germany's heaviest dread
naughts-frst line vessels of the kaiser's
navy-were, in the beginning of the bat
tie, opposed by nothing heavier than
British cruisers. In response to wire
less calls and hurry signals from torpedo
boats and destroyers sent back to bring
up aid to the assailed cruiser squadron,
the great first line ships of the British
fleet swung forward to the scene of bat
tie. When they appeared the Germans
fled. According to the British admiral
ty, therefore, the English navy remains
in control of the seas, and the battle will
result only in making more stringent
than ever the blockade which is slowly
strangling Germany as the great war
goes on.
Latest London reports declare that
there is strong ground to believe that
the German losses include at least one
dreadnaught, and that total of 18 ships
were destroyed, against the IA ships
belonging to the British. Berlin, how
ever, makes flat denial of this.
However much England may try to
reconcile the great disaster which her
fleet has sustained, the fact remains that,
although the German fleet retreated up
on the approach of the British first line
ships, a blow has been inflicted upon
England's maritime pride which she will
feel long while to come.
