of God in instituting the sevcn Sacra-
ments, particularly the Sacraments of

portrayed in the sorrowful mysteries
of the Holy Rosary. Father Mccall
lion, assistant pastor of the lmmacu-
late Church, Camden, on Tuesday

Perseverance,.

Sheriff Wheeler of Bisbane, the Ari-
zona patriot who depOrted 1900 anti
war agitators, said at a banquet In
Phoenix:
81 got the best of these rascals by
the employment of perseverance. In
the police world you've got to have all
the perseverance of a BOOzer.
"Boozer, you know, was crossing the
continent on the limited, and n night,
after too many high balls, he tackled
me in the smoker, and told me a long,
long story about his domestic troubles.
1.-THE next morning, headachy and
sober, he came to me again and said
how much he regretted his confession
of the evening before, and he hoped
the facts he'd revealed would go no
farther.
"'Oh, that's all right said I, I never
listened to you, old man, and haven't
the least idea of what you said
"Well, that night the chump turned
Up in the smoker again, drunken than
before, and he sat down beside me-,
and laid a heavy hand on my knee and
said:
"'NOw, then, durn you, you said you
lidn't listen to me last night, so I'm
goln' to tell you the whole story Of my
Observation-Disclosures over again. "

Grief and shock Cause Death.

Clovis-As a sad sequel to the death
Of Mrs. r. V. Duke, due to gasoline
burning, came the death of Mr.. Duke,
who also received severe burns at the
same time. Mr.. Dukes condition had
o at first been considered serious,
but his physical condition was not
such as to Withstand the injuries, the
shock of the accident and the grief
caused by the tragic death of his wife.
The accident, which occurred on the
Duke farm about twenty miles north
west OF Clovis, followed a midnight
call from a passing auto party for
more gasoline. Mr.. and Mrs. Duke,
to oblige the people. went out and
drew the gas for them from a supply
tank. After the car had left, Mr..
Duke is supposed to have used a Ian
tern in seing how much gasoline was
left in the tank. The explosion fol-
lowed, the wife dying within twelve
hours.

Washington. - Secretary Lansing
made public as an astounding add
ton to the series Of disclosures Of
German intrigues in America and
elsewhere a message sent by Count
Won Bernstorff in January Of this year
to the Berlin foreign office requesting
authority to pay out $4,000 to influ-
ence Congress through an unnamed
organization apparently known to the
Berlin authorities.
Whether the State Department is in
possession of other evidence indicat-
ing the ambassadors activities has
not been revealed, but the extraordi-
nary disclosures already made have
fixed the belief that agents Of tho
United States government have col
lected and compiled the entire story
of German duplicity and intrigue and
that additional chapters will be
added.
The reference to avoiding war il
taken as an indication that Ambassa-
dor Bernstorff had prior knowledge OF
his governments intention to proclaim
a merciless, widespread submarine
warfare, and that he was equally con
fident hat the United States govern.
ment could not be easily placated by
mere promises.
The German announcement Of It's
intention to expand its submarine
activities was not made public until
Jazz. 81, when the world was startled
not only by the determination to re
move all restrictions, but also by the
statement that It would become effect
i've on the following day.
Three days later the United Statel
government had expressed it's disap
prevail by severing relations with Ger
many.

"Dead" Defendants Plea.

Judicial skepticisr to a marked de-
gree is sheYsA in the opinion in Free
man. VS.. Frank, 10 Abb, Pr. IN. ".
$40, in which the court makes the fol-
lowing answer:
'sThe fact that the defendant has an
swered, though by attorney, shows he
is neither rivilIy or physically dead. 1t
is conclusive that he is living, and not
under any disability that prevents him
defending the action. The defendant,
by answering, proves he is alive; and
when he AYERS in mis- answer that he
is dead, he is not to be believed. The
answer, therefore, contains two con-
Trajectory averments, one of which in
judgment of law is fiction. IL the
defendant was dead, he could not an.
swer. Hence the averment that he is
civiIly dead must be deemed untrue /"
