Four men, including one wounded
man, elected to make the desperate
attempt to escape, and Morey told
how he saw them ascend the hill
which stretched away to the north.
II never saw men act so strange

With the enemy beating the coun.

Too Weak to Walk.
MOrey was so weak that he could
only walk hundred yards or so at a

he became weaker and weaker he con.

H. and H is mute. The double r
is rolled, and the double L is followed
by the consonant sound Of Y. The &C.

penultimate when ending in a vowel.
Exceptions are indicated by use of the

listening to Electric Current.

An interesting electrical experiment,
illustrating the fact that sound accom-
panies the passage of electricity
through the body, can be shown in the
following manner: Let two persons
each hold IN electrode from a small
magnetic or shocking coil. Let one per-
son. with his free hand, touch the other
person behind and just below the ear.
A buzzing sound, otherwise inautlible,
can he heard. The tone of the sound
depends upon the number of Interrupt
tons Of the current.-Popular Science

1t has been found that by feeding
silkworms partly on mulberry leaves
and partly on Usage leaves, being ex.
tremely careful with the allowances Of
the two foods, they can be made tc
produce red and blue silk. Colored
thread has been obtained by feeding
the worms on dyed leaves, but this
method is not practical on com

raw silk is yellow or white.

When Mr.. Hughes critfcises the rec
ord of the Administration the spokes-
men of Mr.. Wilson cry: "What would
YOU have done?" They forget that It
Is Mr., Wilson and not Mr.. Hughes
who is on trial. They forget that
four years ago Mr.. Wilson criticised
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt through
out the campaign and that Mr. Tart
and Mr.. Roosevelt defended their re-
spective records, instead Of crying
ssWhat would you have done" They
forget these things or they refuse to
confess them. They are trying to run
away from the record of the Admins
tration and induce the people to fol-
low them down some by-path of rhe-
torical hypothesis, all in the effort to
change the subject.
by their fruits We shall know
them" When Mr.. Hughes was Gov
ernor of New York he did not pay
political debts by filing the public
offices with unfit men. He did not
champion certain principles during his
campaign and repudiate them after
he entered office. AS Governor, he
did not resort to brave and beautiful
words as a substitute for firm and con-
sistent deeds. He was careful in his
use of words but he backed his Words
with deeds He did not promise Wna'
he could not perform. He did not
plaster the people with compliments
they did not deserve. He was not
rhetorician, he was not flatterer, ne
was not s'too proud to fight" for LABOR
or for capital, for the strong or thE
weak. when the right was on the1l
| side.
Mr.. wilson's spokesman seek to Oil
vert attention from the attacks Mr
Hughes is making upon the record

people the record he made Throughout
his two terms as Governor of NeV

that makes him so different from Nj
