DIES Ikea COWARD
Ex-CZar Wits at Death; Propped
to Post.
CotIapses When He Faces tho Piring
Squad-German Paper Gives Ae-
count Of Execution.

Amsterdam-With two hours given
in which to prepare for the end, Nicho-
las Romanoff, former Russian emperor,
was taken out by his eXecutioners in
a state Of such collapse that it was
necessary to prop him against post,
says the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin,
which claims to have received from a
high Russian parsonage an account Of
the emperor's last hours.
Nicholas was awakened at five
O'Clock on the morning of the day Of
his execution by patrol Of a nom
commissioned officer and six men. He
was told to dress and was then taken
to a room where the decision Of the
soviet council was communicated to
him. He was Informed the execution
would be carried out in two hours.
The former emperor, it is added, re-
ceived the announcement Of the sem
tence of death with great calmness, but
when he returned to his bedroom he
collapsed in a chair. After few min
utes he asked for priest. with
whom he was allowed to remain un-
attended. Subsequently he wrote sew
eral letters.
When the escort arrived to take him
to the place Of execution Nicholas at
tempted to rise from his chair, but
was not able. The priest and SOL
dier were obliged to help him get to
his feet. The condemned man de-
scended the stairs with difficulty and
once he fell down.
AS he was unable to stand without
support when the place of execution
was reached, he was propped against a
post. He raised his hands and seemed
to be trying to speak, but the rifles
spoke and he fell dead.

BEE STINGs KILL QUICKLY
Aged Man Succumbs in Ten Minutes
After Being Wounded in
Wrists.

Philadelphia.-Ten minutes after he
had been stung on both wrists by bees,
Charge L. Hume, sixty-six years old, a
resident of Santa Ana, Cal, died.
The bees stings acted as violent
poison, physicians stated, probably
because of Hume's unusual physical
condition. Hume was stung by the
bees when he attempted to destroy a
hive close to his home.
Physicians, when told of the peculiar
case, stated that there was probabil-
ity that the poison injected by the
bees struck an artery and Was imme-
diately conveyed to the heart, causing
death. 1t was also said that the bees
stings may have acted as violent poi
son because Of an unusual physical con-
dition.
The physicians said that so sudden
a death from bees stings was very
unusual.

PLAN AIR POSTAL SERVICE
Is Expected by Engiishnes1 to Be One
Of the First Innovations When
Peace Is Declared.

Airplana postal service will be one OF
the first Innovations Of peace In Eng
land. The problem ia already being
worked out in detail, even to the cost
of postage and hours Of collection and
delivery. It is also said that within
the first few months after peace a
transatlantic airplane service will be
established. Airplane engineers say
that the problem Of constructing
machine for transatlantic flight has
been solved in theory, and machines
which would cross the Atlantic could
be built to-day if it were not that the
long distance busseS of war time must
also be heavy weight carriers. The
most interesting result Of these peace
plans is that it has been found pos
sible to arrange the collection and de-
livery of letters between London and
Glasgow with such dispatch that cor
respondent in London will be able to
receive a written answer within the
working day. Applied to the middle
West, an exchange says, this means
that Kansas City business man will
be able to send g document to st.
Louis. Chicago, Madison, Minneapolis,
Sioux Fails, Omaha. Oklahoma City,
Fort Worth, Texarkana or Little Rock
when he reaches his office in the morn
ing and receive it back duly signed be-
fore he goes home. The estimated
postage for this service works out at
s cents per ounce.

DIES AS FOE FLEES
British Aviator Killed in Triangu-
lar Fight.
Salvation Army Truck Driver Figures
in Tragic Air Battle at
the Front.

Paris.-Dying in the arms OF a Sal
vation Army supply truck driver at
the front in France, a British aviator
who had just been crashed to earth
in desperate triangular battle in the
sky had the satisfaction of witness
ing the defeat of his German antag-
onist by French plane just before he
drew his last breath.
The struggle, according to a report
reaching here occurred recently just
behind the allied lines in France, and
was witnessed by Ransom Clifford,
eighteen-year-old son Of Col. Adam
Clifford, head of the Salvation Army for
New England, and residing in Boston.
Young CiAord was hauling supplies to
hutmenss along the line, when sudden
" three bio pianes circled Immediately
over his head and opened up terrific
fight.
In a short time one plane shot down.
ward in flames and crashed to earth
less than 100 feet from Gifford's .ruck.
The young Salvationist ran to the
wreckage, and after desperate efforts
extricated the broken and bleeding avi-
ator, who was still alive. Two French
soldiers, who had been concealed near
by ran up, and noting the condition OF
the aviator, raced off in different di-
rections for a doctor and ambulance.
Young Clifford held the dying airman III
his arms, enabling him to lie back, and
with fast closing eyes gaze at the con-
fiict still raging Immediately over their
heads. The French plane put the Ger
man to rout, whereupon the English
fighter with a smile relaxed and ex-
pired in the arms of the Salvationist.
Clifford states that for a month he
has not had his shoes off, and that this
is no uncommon occurrence with the
supply drivers. He spent "a hours un-
der his truck on a subsequent trip
when it ran off the road into a ditch,
with shells dropping around it all day
and half the night.

ONLY CHANGE TN MACHINERY
@and Knitting Row ooae In Exactly
the Same Manner as 1t Was Many
Centuries Ago.

There are a few touches Of humor
In the countryside revival Of knitting.
such as the over-large and the envious
feminine group about the lady who,
with practiced skill, deftly turns the
hee, Of a sock. but behind # all is a
fine display Of service. says writer ia
the Detroit FREQ Press. When you
see a sweater Or muf1er in process af
evolution 1t may interest you to know
that tho work ia being done just about
as 1t was when the art was In it's In
fancy. There .hnve been great improve
ments In knitting machinery, however.
and the first of them was directly due
to q somewhat common malady-an-
rsdprocated love.
The Rev. William Lee Of Cambridge
university, as the story goes, was deep
ly smitten with maiden Of his native
town. Woodborough.- Nottinghamshire,
but In spite of his ardent wooing could
make 10 impression. The fair ore
calmly kept on with her knitting. then
the common occupation Of English
women.
In revenge Reverend William swore
he'd invent a machine which would de-
stroy the market TO- hand work. He
Kept his word, but Queen Elizabeth re-
fused to grant a patent and to give her
financial support because too many Of
her subjects would be deprived OF their
means Of livelihood. So the inventor
took hM machine to France. This
story may be entirely fsnciful, but in
1880 William Lee did revolutionize
hosiery making by producing the knit
ting frame or stocking frame. Ameri-
can names in the list Of those who
have labored to perfect knitting ma
chinery are W. 9. Gist, Almet Reid and
Griswold.

Tyson, are not yet in, it is practic

ed a background for the tall piano
lamps with their attractive shades,
which had already been placed as
a part of the decorations. To these
lights We're added doz ms of can
d.esticks, whose tapers fickered
