MARcHIoNEss OF AsrUGAs.

''Iell hath no fury like a woman
scorned." The truth of this state
ment was borne out in the most cruel
fashion by the Marchioness OF Astu-
gas, who lived in Spain in the latter
part of the seventeenth century dur
ing the reign of Charles II. The in
humanity to which this woman de-
scended in order to wreak vengeance
upon another, who had taken from
her the love of her husband, finds no
equal In all history. Having 1ured
her rival to the Astugas palace, the
marchioness murdered her with her
own hands, having first dismissed her
servants. She then dragged her vic
tim to a nearby wood, where she cut
out her heart and cut off her head.
She then prepared the heart of the
unfortunate woman and placed it at
dinner before her husband. Unsus-
pecting, he ate the CHASTITY dish, and
when he had finished, the marchion-
ess rolled the head of her victim
across the table into her husbands
lap. Horror stricken, he fed from
the palace and was never seen again
while his wife sought refuge in a con-
rent. Here she became a ravins
unatic, driven mad by jealousy and
age. She died several years later.

ANNOUNCED BY GERMANY


Berlin, via London, Sept. THE
supplementary statement issued last
evening from general headquarters.
announces the capture of Riga by the
Germans. The earlier official report
follows; al.
HArmy group of Prince Leopold
After careful preparation, German
divisions on Sunday morning crossed
the Dvina on both. sides of UxhuH.
The infantry crossing was preceded
by heavy bombardment by artil-
lery and mine throwers. A footing
was gained on the northern bank OF
the river after a short fight. Where
the Russians offered resistance they
were driven back by vigorous attacks.
The movements of our troops are in
progress and are proceeding accord
ing to our plans.
( THE enemy gave up his positions
west Of the Dvina owing to our adj
vance. Our divisions are moving
forward there also, while fighting
with the Russian rearguard. Dense
columns of every kind are making
their way hastily in a northeasterly
direction along the roads leading our
of Riga. Burning villages and farms
make the routes taken by the retreat
| ing west wing of the Twelfth Russian
army.

WOMEN STARTED WITH
GANS-NELSO BOUT TO
ATTEND BOXING MATCHES

Before the war put an end to the
discussion of such minor matters, a
controversy was raging in London
over the question whether the fair
sen should be permitted to have a
lool-fn at boxing shows. The ladies'
had settled this, question for them
selves by attending the Smith-Car-
pentier and Ritchie- Welsh bouts in
large numbers. The fad. which start
cd in Paris and spread to England,
soon reached America, and women
were frequently seen at boxing con-
tests in various cities in the United
States. All of this discussion seemed
to be based on the supposittun that
the attendance of women at bfff exhi-
billions was a strictly modern innova-
ton. But 1t wasn't. no. not at all,

the encounter, the biggest gate ever
attracted by a battle between light
weights. Among those 5000 specta-
tors there were 1900 womer, who had
come from the ends OF the earth to a
mining camp about Is miles south of
the junping-of place to see a prize
fight.
1t is. true that many of the ladies of
quality present had not been attracted
to the region primarily by the boxing
exhibition. Many OF them had taken
up their residence in Nevada for the
purpose of Kidding themselves of OBJ
noxious husbands. The Cans Nelson
battle was no pink-tea sparring
match. either, but a fight to a finish,
and the ladiss saw ~ rounds of fierce
and gruelling milling before Cans was
awarded the vtctoy on a foul.
Most Of the fair spectators seemed
tn enjoy the exhibition, A hundred
years ago there were many English
women of quality and title who boast
+ ed that they had never missed a
championship battle. Moreover, it is
well to remember that this Is the age
of women The Fair Ones haven't as
yet become boxers, but when they do
the white hopes and others had bet
ter hunt their holes.

My experience with hundreds Of thousands OF

conservative What about the crusts that the children

allowed to mould because the bread box is not kept

The Worry Habit.

In all forms of worry, the organic
sense Of well-being becomes disor-
dered, and life, instead of being beau
tiful, Is seen through smoked glass.
People worry over trifies-the weather,
their dress, work, failure, pains or
financial conditions. Some of these
worries have physical or tempera-
mental basis, but most of them are
simply wrong mental attitudes. They
can be cured by cheerful philosophy
of life. The sunshine societies."
