Poles in Austrian Parliament Are in
Revolt

Copenhagen, June 20.-The revolt of
the Poles in the Austrian parliament
is described by the Vienna CORE
spondent of the Vossische Zeitung as
having produced a crisis in which the
position not only of Premier Clam
MARITIME, but also OF Count Czernin,
foreign minister, is threatened
A majority of the German papers
treat the news of the situation with
the greatest reserve and the govern
ment organs in Vienna hold out hopes
that the crisis may be overcome by
granting a few ministerial posts to
Polish and other parliamentarians.
The Vossische Zeitung correspond
ent, however. points out that the de-
fection of the Poles is sufficient TO
turn the scales against the govern.
ment, since the rest of the Slav bloc
already is in opposition
The Poles indicated the seriousness
of their intentions by decision tC
vote against the budget.

SAUSAGE.

Sausage is a round, fat, Unsenti-
mental article of Indigestion.
It is the father of all wursts-buck,
liver and weinie. It's grandfather is
bologna. And its grandmother is
more bologna.
Sausage is of two kinds, tram
meIIed and untrammeIled. Tram
meIIed sausage wears a thin spring
Overcoat the year round and comes
a Ia necklace. Untrammelled sau-
sage is sold by the pound and served
in sOlitaires.
TrammeIIed sausage is wild. That's
why it's trammeIled. This is evil
denced by the fact that it will stand
just so much cooking and then it
bursts its bonds.
Untrammeled or tame sausage
just sits and sizzles.

Ham" Marshall Dead

The death of James Hamilton
Marshall. which occurred at his
home on Big Root last Friday,
caused a genuine regret to spread
over the country. Mr.. Marshall
was operated upon some time ago
for gall stones, and after being
brought home he commenced to
grow weaker.
Mr.. Marshall was fifty nine
years of age at the time of his
death. He was united in mar
riage to Mary Shanks and to this
union were born seven children,
one of whom having preceded
him to the Great Beyond. He was
consistent member of the
Baptist Church.
Ham" Marshall was a gooC
man. He met many misfortune.
in life. but he never wavered il
his mode of geniality and good
will. He was as honest as an!
man that ever lived, and at al
times merited the esteem of al
who knew him.
Mr.. Marshall is survived By
his wife, seven children, tire
brothers and three sisters.
Funeral services were held a
the old Bethlehem Church b
Rev. d. N. Connoly and inter-
ment was had in the cemetery 6
that place.

To Save the Babies

The Government Census Bureau
at Washington estimates that
three hundred thousand babies
under one year old died in the
United States last year. 1t is
safe to say that this enormous
figure represents the death rate
of babies each year for several
years past. The Government has
been spending millions of dollars
printing books and doing exper-
mental work to the end that
people may raise healthy hogs,
horses and .other domestic
animals. but until recently
seems that the babies have been
neglected. At last Uncle Sam
has become alarmed at the awfu
death rate among his babies anC
has gotten out an extra aditior
