Earl Kitchener, secretary OF state
for war, and his STAFF, were aboard
the Hampshire, on their way TO Rus
STA. Earl Kitchener was going to Rus

eminent He intended to land at
Aarchangel and visit Petrograd and
probably go to the Russian front. His
mission had chiefly to do with the
supply of munitions for Russia.
The earl expected to be back In
London for the reopening of parlia
ment on June 20.
The Hampshire was sunk about 8
p. m. June s. to the vest of the DIRK
neys. Four boats were seen to leave
the ship, but no survive rs have been
picked up.

built in 1908, normally carried 655
men and displaced 1880 tons. She
cost sl,250.000. The Hampshire has

Hampshire went down, are m the
north coast of Scotland. The Hamp-
shire was on her way into the Allan.

the Scandinavian peninsula into the
White sea. Earl Kitchener probably
intended to debark at Archangel.
Earl Kitchener was appointed sec
rotary OF state for war August 8, 1914.
a few days after Great Britain's de-
claration OF war on Germany. He was
regarded as England's greatest sol

unanimous approval.
As the war progressed and Great
Britain's deficiencies in certain direc,

shortage OF artillery ammunition, be-

SUGGESTS BOWS FOR MEN
Been Recommended by
Chicago Doctor.

For some centuries man has not
been addicted to the hat beautiful,
leaving that esthetic creation to wom-
an. He has required his head
gear to be unitarian and comfort,
able-nothing more. But now its
utility and comfort are being assaulted
by forward-looking iconoclasts. Doc.
tor Reynolds of Chicago AYERS that
the construction of the masculine lid
causes badness and boldly recon-
mends that hats be abandoned alto
gether. Doctor Skrainka, another
health authority, suggests as COM
promise a loose-ftting hat, tied under
the chin with ribbons.
If men act at all in the premises
they will probably adopt Doctor Rey-
nolds' suggestion. Hatless men may
be surveyed with some degree Of
equanimity, but men dolled up in
a Dolly Warden or Salvation Army hat,
with little bow of ribbons under
the chin, is unthinkable. Better the
stovepipe of our sainted sires than
bands and bows tempting man to look
upon himself as thing of beauty and
a joke forever.

d'Anglades to go along. The invita-
ton was accepted but at the elev-
enth hour d'Anglade begged off, say
ing his wife had fallen sick. The
Montgomeries went away and there is
every reason to suppose that they
had the best kind of time at their
rural chateau. They returned to Paris
a day earlier than they had expected
to, arriving at their home in the eve
ming. The d'Anglades spent the eve
ming with them.
On the following morning Montgom-
erie discovered that he had been
robbed during his absence, and the
robbers had made big haul. They
had opened his strong box with a
false key and had carried off thirteen
bags of silver, several bags of gold
and hundred louis dor of a new pat
tern, not in general circulation, and
a quantity of valuable jewelry. The
comte sent at once for the police.
The lieutenant general of police
came, with several of his trusty
sleuths, and after examining every
thing he announced his belief that
somebody in the house had stolen the
goods, and he began search of the
premises. In order that nobody could
accuse him of impartiality, he made a
search of the d'Anglades' apartment
the first thing, before going to the
servants quarters, and his surprise
and delight may be imagined when he
discovered a roll of Is louis dor, of
the new coinage, wrapped up in pa
per, a part of a genealogical table,
which was at once identified by Mont
gomerie as belonging to him. In vain
the marquis protested that he knew
nothing. about the money or how 1t
came there. His appearance was
against him.
To the astute lieutenant general OF
police this was sufficient proof of the
mans guilt. When he went to the
house he expected that it was going
to be a sordid affair, involving a
crooked nervant or two, and now he
had a real live marquis in the tolls
His delight may easily be understood
The case was bound to make big
sensation, and the lieutenant general
would be covered with glory. From

basement. and there found evidence

mating than that against the marquis

At the close of the eighteenth cen
fury the families of the Marquis dan
glade and the Comte de Montgomerie
lived in peace and harmony in a large
house in the Rue Royale, Paris. They
lived rather luxuriously, and while it
was held that most of the marquis
funds came from the gambling tables,
nobody held that against him. He
was a man of fine appearance and
charming manners, and his wife was
a beauty. De Montgomerie had for
tune of his own and didn't need to
go to the gambling establishments to
earn his bread in the sweat of his
fingers. He kept a large establish
ment, with servants and horses and
chariots and the d'Anglades lived in
the same house because of the firm
friendship existing between the two
families.
1t came to pass that the Montgom-
cries decided to go to their country
house for while, and invited the

but this made no impression upon the
great policeman. The marquis must
have put the bags where they were
found, in order to throw suspicion
upon the servants.
The prosecution was pitiless and
brutal, and the lieutenant general of
police seemed to dominate everybody
and everything. The marquis protest
ed his innocence, and was ordered to
the torture, but no physical agony
could draw from him a confession of
guilt. He was convicted and sen
fenced to the galleys for life, and
presently set forth on his mangled
limbs, as a member of a chain gang
bound for Toulon. The story of the
persecution of the d'Anglades seems
more like a chronicle of the dark
ages than record of modern hap
penings The marquis, whose life
had been spent in gilded ease, found
the journey torture and the brutes
in charge Of the chain gang seemed to
take vicious delight in adding to his
misery in every possible way. He
was chosen out for all their barbarity,
perhaps because he was an aristocrat.
League after league he toiled along
the endless white road, his feet bleed
ing, his legs swollen, his body COW
cred with bruises, and his heart
broken.
At last death came to his relief He
died of exhaustion at Marseilles. and
it is doubtful whether any man ever
greeted the deliverer with greater joy.
Meanwhile his wife had been taken
from sick bed and dragged to the
bar of justice by the tireless lieuten-
ant general, who was fairly basking
in the well-earned fame this case had
brought him. She was found guilty
of something or other, and imprisoned
in an underground dungeon, where, in
cold and slime and darkness, she be-
came the mother of a daughter; and
mother and babe were left there with
no attention, except when piece Of
black bread was thrown in, as to a
wild beast. Afterwards the jailor who
did this service said that he ofen

MEAL-TIME CONSCIENCE.
What Do the Children Drink7

There are times when mother or
father feeds the youngsters something
that they know children should not
have. Perhaps it is some rich dessert
but more often it is tea or coffee.
1t is better to have some delicious,
hot food drink that you can take your
self and feed to your children, con-
scious that it will help and strength
en-, but never hurt them.
A Yorkstate lady says: Il used
coffee many years in spite of the con-
viction that it injured my nervous sys-
tenn and produced my nervous head
aches While visiting friend 1 was
served with Postum and l determined
to get a package and try it myself.
The result was all that could be de-
sired-a delicious, finely favored, rich
ly colored beverage. Since I quit cof-
fee, Postum has worked wonders for
me.
MY husband, who had suffered from
kidney trouble when drinking coffee,
quit the coffee and took up Postum
with me and since drinking Postum he
has felt stronger and better, with no
indication of kidney trouble.

comfort to have a warm drink at
meals that I can give my children,
with clear conscience that it will
help and not hurt them as coffee or
tea would"

ooh, God, why hast thou forsaken
me?" Surely few people have had bet
ter reason to ask the question. But
God had not forsaken her entirely.
About this time former lackey of
the Comte de Montgomerie' felt with
in him a spiritual yearning. He real
lied that his sins were as scarlet, and
he would be as white as snow. He
wished to become priest, and devote
his life to good works. With this
praiseworthy ambition in his breast,
he set about undoing the evil he had
wrought, so far as he could. He knew
the truth about the robbery at the
Montgomeries', and he wrote an anony-
nous letter to friends Of the dan
glades, giving them information which
enabled them to bring the facts to
light. And the facts showed that the
unfortunate d'Anglade had nothing
whatever to do with the crime.
The chief criminal was the Comte de
Montgomerie's almoner, priest
named Gaynard, who had obtained
wax impressions of the comte's keys.
From these impressions man named
Belestre made false keys; several
: servants of the comte were in the plot,
including the writer of the anonymous
letter. They were all taken into Gus
tody and subjected to the torture, one
| by one, and in their confessions they
were unanimous in generating dan
glade.
| The unfortunate wife was released
from her black dungeon, with her
naked babe in her arms. She was in
dying condition, but now the sympa-
thy Of an entire nation was with her,
and she was nursed back to health.
| The people of Paris raised -Sund for
her. amounting to $4,000, and the
courts made De Montgomerie dig up
large sum to make restitution for
the property confiscated.
There is only one bright spot in this
tragic story. One morning the lieu
tenant general of police, who had been
the lion of Paris for long time
stepped out of his door to go to his
Office, when a stone hit him on the
side of the head. Then another rock
or maybe it was vitrified brick;
anyhow, it was hard, and weighed
eight pounds and half-took him in
the stomach and doubled him up, and
before he could unbend himself some
body prodded him in the ribs with a
pole. In fact, the whole population OF
the street had turned out to do him
honor, and when his servant dragged
him back into the house he looked
just like man who has been foolins
with a pile driver.

people knew one from the other. One
day he went to see his aged parents,

Chinese Servants.

The servants in a Chinese family
are not expensive, so far as wages are
concerned, but they cost great deal
in perquisites. They rarely receive
more than two dollars a month, but
they are given their food, and they
help themselves lavishly to anything
they may desire. They dress them
selves from the old clothing Of the
family, freely take the hairpins and
the toilet articles CT the mistress,
clothe their children from the com
mon wardrobe, and, in fact, are a
part of the family.

Children Teach Rock How to Talk.
1t is said that the first instance of
a rock developing the power of talk
was recorded in England recently.
The bird is the property of two school
children-a little boy and girl living
in Horsham, England. They caught it
five years ago. when it was still quite
young, in a local rookery. By patient
precept and careful study they taught
the bird several words and now she
proudly boasts of a vocabulary close
upon one hundred simple words. She
is often allowed out in the garden, for,
although she can fly swiftly and
strongly, she han be trusted not to
make her escape.
