TAMARA.

Long, long centuries ago, they will
tell you, there lived valiant soldier
who had one daughter, Tamara, the
most beautiful maiden the world had
ever seen. Fair as a lily was her skin
and bright as gold her long silken
curls, and all who saw her loved her
for her beauty and her charm. War
broke out in a neighboring country,
and her father was called to arms.
Long and bravely he fought and ever
by his side rode his friend, the chief
of a nearby castle, until one bitter
day an arrow found his comrades
heart.
When the war was over, he came
home once more, bringing with him
Plini, young lad the son of his
fallen comrade. Between Plini and
Tamara a close friendship grew. She,
as was the custom of the times, had
learned to weave and embroider, but
further learning had she none, SO he
delighted in teaching her the songs
of Greece while he accompanied her
on the harp. Day in and day out they
wandered together through the woods
and fields, gathering the flowers that
grew by the way, and together sing
ing, so that the very birds hushed
their melody to listen. They were
only children, and their merry laugh
| ter rang through the air as they ran
and leaped in joy of heart, but little
by little they grew more silent and as
they walked their hands would seek
and find each the others.
Then the nature of their singing
changed and sad, sweet melodies re
placed the joyous tunes Of childhood
The harp sobbed and sighed with I'M.
| fell between them. For months they
wandered thus, not understanding the
secret of their hearts, until one day
Tamara was claimed by the great
chief to whom her hand had been Ions
promised.
| Too dutiful to refuse to obey the
4 commands of her father, too loving
| to be untrue to her own heart, she
knew not what to do, so going GU
Into the mountains she prayed tt
heaven for deliverance, and the gods
who hear the prayers of those who
trust, changed her into a tall lily
with petals white as her fair skin anC
golden pistil that shone as had he

i Then, all his years of friitles

to his heart and wept, and the flower

RUSS ARMY TAKES
HALICz, THE KEY TO
LEMBERG. REPORT

London. July 11r--Halicz. the
strategic key to Lemberg, capital of
Galacia, has been captured by the
Russians. says dispatch from Reu-
ter's Petrograd correspondent.
Halicz. sixty-three miles southeast
OF Lemberg, in the Dniester river, is
an important railroad junction and
the most important key to the Galaci-
an capital. 1t is eighteen miles north
of stanislau and about eight miles
north of Jezupol, captured by the
Russians under General Korniloff on
Sunday. The fall of Halicz was pre-
saged by the success of the Russians
in breaking the Austro-G German line
between that town and Stanislau and
in driving the Austro-Germans to the
Lomnica river. which enters the
Dniester short distance above
Halicz.
Halicz was the center Of much
heavy fighting last August and Sep
TENDER, and the Russians had cap
tured Bukowina and were attempting
to reach Lemberg. Stanislau was
captured by the Russians in August.
but they failed to take Halicz after
engaging in furious battles at Mari
ampol and Monasterzyska and fore
ing the Austro-Germans to retire be-
tween the Zlota Lipa and the Dnies-
ter. In September, Halicz was bonn
barded by the Russian artillery, but
attempts to storm the town were un-
successful. The fall of Halicz prob
ably will mean that the Austro-Ger-
mans must retire from the present
line along the Zlota Lipa from north
east of Halicz through Brzezany and
Zlochoff TO Brody in order to pro-
tect Lemberg. The next line in the
rear of the Zlota Lipa is the Genila-
Lipa.

m STRIKE AT END

Trinidad, Colo. July all in
dictments pending as result of the
soal miners strike In the southern
mart of Colorado in 1913 were dis
missed in the district court of Las
Animas county today.
The dismissals were at the re-
ouest of Attorney General Hubbard.
The most important case dropped
was that of John H. Lawson, charged
Nth murder on four counts. Four
Indictments against Louis Zancanel-
II. convicted Of the murder Of George
W. Belcher and given a life sent
ence which was rmanded by the su-
preme court, also were dismissed.
Lawson, a prominent mine leader,
was convicted Of the murder Of a
mine guard as a result Of the So
called battle of Ludlow" He was
sentenced to life Imprisonment. Up
on appeal the supreme court freed
Lawson of the charge on which he
was convicted, holding that the lower
court had erred.
Attorney General Hubbard stated
his reasons for asking for dismissal
q, the cases to be: THAT several
years have elapsed since the COM
mencement of this prosecution, and
upon diligent and thorough investiga-
ton, it has appeared that many OF
the witnesses on behalf of the peo-
nile have departed from the jurisdic-

not be obtained.
THAT this prosecution arose out OF
disturbed industrial conditions
which happily now have passed.

TO INSURE SOCCER PLAYERS
Most Unique Idea Ever Evolved in
Sport Tried Out Successfully
in California.

Probably the most unique idea ever
evolved in sport has been tried out sue
cessfully in California and is being
considered by soccer football officials
elsewhere This is the establishment
of a mutual protection insurance COM
pany for the league players. Hereto
fore soccer players, who are exposed
to many injuries in the course of a
season, played at their town personal
risk and many suffered the cOnse-
quences of their accidents, as the reg
ular insurance companies will not
handle these hazards.
The California Football association,
which has suffered at various times
through these runs of injuries. finally
has decided to insure it's own ath-
letes. Funds are secured through a
small assessment of players, through
a sale of programs, and by smokers
and other sources. The plan provides
for compensation up to $50 for any in
jury a player may sustain.

the batter, puzzled and angry, had to
stalk back to his bench.
Eight men bit the dust that day be-
fore Gumbert and Mack. Every once
Ia a while Connie would flip that web
and the batter would be out. Connie
watched the batters closely and would
finally work his trick when he saw the
man was going to swing.
1t was impossible for the umpire to
tell whether the batter struck the ball
or not, but he heard the tip all right.
Mack never gave that secret away,
and he went along quite a time until
finally discovered. After that time
nothing was allowed to be placed in
the glove like webbing or rubber.
Then Connie learned how to snap
his finger to make it sound like a foul
tip. 1t wound up by having the rule
changed so that the batter wasn't out
except on the third strike, when 1t was
foul tip. This didn't occur until the
following year, and Mack had a whole
season in which to befuddle umplres
and hatters.

without even looking up.
Suddenly, as Mack ga2ed at the Gu
