new VERSION OF KILLING
OF RUSSIA'S sMAD MONK
Assassination Of Rasputin Declared
Only One Of Series Of Attempts on

dramatic versions of the death Of
Gregory Rasputin, the Russian monk.
who exercised great influence over the
members of the royal family. have only
, heightened the sensation caused by the
first news of Raspatin's death received
last Saturday. 1t is now definitely
| known that the assassination was only
one Of a series Of attempts upon Ras-
putin's life.
In the former plots either Rasputin,
scenting danger. refused to be decoyed
from his house or the plotters were
unable to agree upon the means to be
used and thus their plans several times
miscarried. But circumstances pecu-
lfarly favored the plot arranged for
early Saturday morning and from re-
cent information in the hands of the
authorities they have been able to re-
construct the events which probably
took place at that time.
Shortly after midnight Rasputin. who
was sitting alone in his house in Pet
rograd. received a telephone call from
the house-of Prince Yussupon. The in
vitation proved particularly alluring,
and Rasputin accepted in the best hu-
NOR. Soon afterward a young man

Rasputin was not long seated in the
house to which he had been invited
before one of the guests offered a re-
volver to him with the following
words:
We have decided that you must die.
Kill yourself"
According to the prevalent version,
Rasputin pointed the revolver at the
man who had offered it to him, where
upon the other guests drew revolyers
and fired upon the monk
Rasputln was struck twice in the
chest and side, and then a bullet in the
head killed him instantly. His body
was Immediately disposed of, being
dropped into the Neva river
1t was said today that those who had
participated in the crime would not be
prosecuted. One already has been al
lowed to leave Petrograd and, although
the others have been detained. no ar
rests have been made.

THE ARTFuL DONKEY.

Once upon q time there lived In a
field near a fine jungle where many
lions made their home a little gray
donkey.
Now, this donkey was not satisfied
with being just donkey and drawing
his masters little cart Of vegetables
to market and enjoying comfortable
home and nice meals.
Neddy wanted to be a lion, and he
tried to initiate the air and walk OF a
lion he had once seen. He fancied that
his bray sounded like lions roar. All
the farmyard animals laughed him.
which made him very cross.
One day a hunter who had shot lion
stopped at his masters house with the
lion skin. While the stranger was at
dinner Neddy stole out to where the
skin lay and slipped into 1t. Then he
ran of toward the forest. frightening
foolish hens and geese and amazing
the more sensible animals.
When he reached the edge Of the
fields he met the old black sheep who
led his masters flocks.
"G-r-r-r-u-u!' brayed the donkey.
The sheep laughed.
Near the woods he met Mr.. Fox.
"Why, It's that stupid old donkey
that brays whenever / come about the
farmhouse at night. What's he doing
running around in the skin of old
Leo?" Mr.. Fox said to himself
Leo was the old lion which had been
shot by the hunter. His relatives in
the forest were very angry about his
death.
"G-r-r-r-u-uv' brayed the donkey.
"Ah. good evening, Mr.. Leo!' the fox
said slyly.
The donkey was greatly pleased.
Glad to meet you, SIR" replied the
donkey.
There are some OF your relations
over there looking for you," the fox
went on, thinking that the donkey
would turn and run home.
But the foolish donkey was so sure
that the lions would gladly welcome
him and never suspect that he was not
one Of themselves that he went trot-
ting of toward brook where some Of
the animals We're drinking.
There he comes, the monster, dress
ed In my poor, dear husbands skin"
roared Mrs. Leo, and she made leap
that landed her on the donkey's neck.
That was all. The next day the
farmer, who went out to hunt for Ned
dy, found the Hons skin behind the
donkey's skin In the woods.

YOUR ROSEBUSHES.
From Buds to Broken Roots
Here Is Sound Advice.

Prepared by the u. s. department
OF agriculture.
TN planting dormant bushes
i 1t is desirable to trim the
ends of broken roots and any
that are too long just before they
are put into the hole, so that
there will be smooth, fresh sur
faces which can callous and heal
over. 1t Is usual to have this
fresh cut surface on the under
side OF the root. The hole in
which the bush is to be planted
should be several inches larger
across than the roots will extend
and ample In depth, with little
loose earth on the bottom. The
roots should be separated well
In all directions, with the soil
well worked I'm among them,
separating them into layers, each
of which should be spread out
like the fingers of the hand.
When the hole Is partially full
the plant should be shaken up
and down so as TO make sure 1t
Is In close contact with the soil
under the crown where the roots
branch. When the roots are we'll
covered the soil should be firm
ed. This is best done by tramp
ing. III the soil is In proper con-
dition tramping cannot injure
the plants. This will leave
= depression about them, but all
the roots will be covered.
When all are planted each one
may be watered, although this
usually Is not necessary, espe-
cially II the roots have been pud-
died before planting. IL water
Is applied permit 1t 10 soak In
about the roots and then ill the
hole with dry earth. Do not
tramp after watering. With the
soil wet IL would be injurious
to compact IL more. IL not wa
tered the depression should be
filed with loose earth, the same
as though 1t had been watered.
After planting no watering
should be done unless very dry
weather follows, and even then
care must be exercised not to
overdo IL till after growth starts.
In watering 1t is desirable to
draw away some earth from
about the bush, apply the wa
ter and after It has soaked In
draw dry earth about the plant
again.

until tender. Peel off the skin, place
In dripping pan, spread one-half inch

Of garlic vinegar and bake In hot
oven three-quarters OF an hour, basting

Why Water Puts Out Fire.

Water puts out fire for two good rea-
sons. First, If a thing is covered with
water, the oxygen of the air cannot get
at 1t to burn 1t. But that is not nearly
the most important reason why water
puts out fire. 1t is that water has a
great capacity for heat and can hold
great deal of 1t. 1t takes so much heat
into itself, and so quickly, that 1t low
ers the temperature Of the burning
thing that It can no lohger burn.

THINNING REQUIRED
FOR GARDEN CROPS
Plants Should Be Given Plenty
of Space in Rows.

East Lansing, Mich, July l0.--Na-
lures law of survival OF the fittest"
should be applied to garden crops,
horticulturists OF the Michigan Agricul-
tural College say. Rows must be
thinned, they declare, by removing the
weak and puny.
'1f the garden crops have not been
thinned, start now" is the advice the
garden men give. "Most gardeners
SOW too many seeds in the row, with
the result that the plants become
crowded and suffer from a lack of
moisture, light and plant food. For
this reason, a small amount of thinning
is necessary, even when the seeds are
carefully spaced with the seed drill A
few plants well spaced in the ro will
yield better, and produce -igher
quality product, than larger number
of plants growing under crowded con
ditlons.
Commence to thin just as soon as
the size OF the plants and the ravages
OF insects will permit. Bear in mind
that thinning should be a process of
selection, that is all weak plants should
be discarded, leaving only the most
vigorous to mature.
The following are the distances to
which some of the most common vege-
tables should be thinned: Beets, tur-
nips, carrots, parsnips and satisfy, four
to six inches, depending on the soil
and variety, rutabagas, eight inches;
wax or string beans, four inches; lima
beans, twelve inches; onions, two
inches; parsley, six inches; cucumbers,
four plants to each hill, or if in rows,
allow two feet between the plants in
the row; melons and squashes, two
strong plants TO each hill.

FRESH CHICKENS
How to Choose One From Among
EmbaImed Poultry.
PUT WHoLEsOMENESS FIRST.

tips ABOUT Ory FiCNoop SiT SooiSo
Birds and tho Great Danger Of 6ao-
terra Entering q Dressed One, Thus
Causing Ptomalns Poisoning.
We should place wholesomeness ahead
of plumpness and youth. In other
to consider are: us the bird untainted
or reasonably fresh2 Is there danger Of
Its giving ptomaine poisoning to some
one who eats 1t because the bacteria Of
decay have begun their deadly work."
The time was when 1t was considered
safer to purchase poultry which had
been drawn, It being argued that the
entrails were likely to contaminate the
meat. Heads and feet were removed,
and the purchaser felt she was getting
net weight and not paying for that
which must be discarded.
AS a matter of fact, 1t is now believ-
ed by the majority that It Is safer to
buy poultry undrawn and with the
heads and feet where nature placed
them. Once an opening has been made
into the body cavity of a bird or the
head and feet cut off, the moist, deli
cate tissues are laid open TO the air,
fairly inviting the invasion of bacteria
These bacteria soon impair the flavor
Of the meat, even IL actual decomposi-
ton does not set In.
The feet and head tell good deal
about the age OF the bird. Young
birds have clean, smooth legs and feet
while old ones show a rough, scaly
condition with the development Of
spurs. Some poultry specialists also
claim that a fowl with yellow legs Is
OF better flavor than one having black
legs.
The head of bird which has been
killed some time will tell the fact
symptoms Sunken eyes, darkened
neck and greenish blue color near the
bill, all show that the bird Is no longer
fresh.
To order bird over the telephone Is
TO trust entirely to ones marketman.
1t is much better to make the selection
In person and to have the chicken or
duck or whatever 1t may be drawn In
ones presence.
Sometimes chickens are dry picked
Immediately after they are killed, and
to hasten the cooling process they are
allowed to stand for a time I'm very
cold water In order to remove the ami
NAL heat.
This Is Objectionable also, for a
chicken cooled In water absorbs more
or less Of 1t, which is paid for at food
prices. The skin Of such bird has a
white look, which has been described
as "powdery." 1t has a thick look
and is inclined to be rather shiny.
A properly dry picked, air cooled
chicken has loose, clear looking skin.
There are sure to be short hairs, which
1t Is necessary to remove by singing,
and the papillae, or quill sockets, show
plainly.
1t is not at all difficult to learn to
dress poultry at home. Ten or fifteen
minutes at the most is all that Is need
ed to prepare a good sized bird for
cooking, and there Is great deal OF
satisfaction In knowing exactly what
you have got.
In these days of the high price OF
living and the still higher price of be-
ing sick the more we pay others for do
ing the less money we have for our
selves.
