and engine and a lot of farming i'm.

CzAR AND FAMILY
SHOT TO DEATH.
London Believes All Possible Doubt
Removed. =

London, Aug. 28.-All possible
doubts that Former Emperor Nicholas
of Russia, and his family were assas-
sinated in the basement Of their prls-
on house at Ekaterinburg on the
night of July 16, 1918, seems to be
dispelled by the accounts Of two in
dependent investigators which are
published here. One is printed by the
London Times, and was written by
its former Petrograd correspondent,
Robert Wilton. The other appears in
the magazine, Nineteenth Century"
and is from the pen of Capt. Francis
McCullagh of the British army, who,
before the war, was widely known
newspaper correspondent. Both spent
several weeks at Ekaterinburg and
talked with natives and soldiers who
witnessed the affair through the
windows Of the i'll fated house. Both
writer's agree on the important de-
tails Of the story.
The victims Of the massacre, they
say, numbered II, being the former
emperor. his wife, son and four
daughters, DR.. Botkin and three SER
wants. The assassination was arrang-
ed by Yuroyski, the jailer in charge
Of the desposed royal family, and was
carried out by IL soldiers. The Times
account says these men were Let's,
but Captain McCallagh declares they
were Magygars, who had been placed
on duty instead of a Russian guard
because the Bolsheviki feared Rus
sian could not be trusted for the
work.
Captain McCullagh's story says all
the doomed party, except Nicholas,
were on their knees, crossing them
selves, as Yurovski shouted the order
, for the execution Of Nicholas Rom
anoff, the bloody, and his family.
The former czar then stepped quickly
in front Of his wife and children, say
ing something which could not be
heard and was shot by Yurovsky.
Then the remainder Of the party was
shot down with revolvers and later
the soldiers bayoheted the bodies
he said.

THREE SHIPS OF SUCCESS

The story is told that at the naval
academy of Annapolis, on one occa-
sion, the question was asked in an
examination, "Give as briefly as pos
sible the reason for the defeat Of the
Spanish Armada"
One Of the cadets wrote his answer
in fourteen words:
"The defeat was caused by the Span
iard's lack of three ships-Seaman-
ship, Workmanship, leadership"
There HIS been many a man whose
success in life has been wrecked by
the lack Of one or all Of three ships:
Workmanship, Friendship, General
ship.
Workmanship: There are lot Of
men who do not take pride in their
work. They slight and neglect it. TO
them, work is only a necessary evil
by which to get money enough to live.
The less work they can do and get
away with It. the better. Then they
wonder why, when a chance for
promotion arrives, they are not
chosen. They accuse the fortunate
one Of having a pull. They say that
the boss discrimlnates and shows fav-
ors, when ell the time the trouble is
with themselves. Their workmanship
is poor. They do not do their best,
and the result Is that at the end OF
the year they are still working at the
same job and at the same old wage.
Friendship: The man who wants to
advance in this world must make
| friends. In business, in political, in
social life the men who has the most
friends is the man who forges ahead.
There are some people who underes-
innate the value of friendship, espec-
tally in industrial and business life.
IF I please the boss, I don't care
what the other fellows think Of me;
it doesn't matter. can get along
without them" says man. But can
you? Many a mans success is hinged
on having a friend to say good word
for him at a critical moment. 81
chose S.-for the job" said business
man recently, because every one Of
his fellow employees spoke we'll Of
him." The man got that particular po-
sition because he had friends.
1t is a good idea to make friends,
and then keep them. Very likely some
day they Will be worth more to you
than you ever dreamed.
Generalship: A mans capacity to
fill high position cannot always be
estimated by the manner in which he
fills a lower one. There Is proverb
which Is very true: "A man may
shine in the second rank who would
be eclipsed IN the first To obtain a
high position is one thing, to make
good in it, and keep it is another. A
man who may be able easily to handle
the details of a small business, or po-
sition, when given greater response
bilities, may find himself overwhelm-
ed by the multiplicity Of duties, and
unable to handle them. This lack OF
generalship has been the downfall of
many man whose prospects to the
unobserving seemed particularly
bright. But this ability to direct men
and things may be cultivated. There

does reach the heights toward which
he has often looked may not be sue
cessful il during the time of his pro-
baton he has served faithfully and
well, and groomed himself for the
higher position.

ships, Workmanship" Friendship"
and "Genenlship" and you will come
out victor in the battle of life.-The

the killing.
1t is said that it would have been
impossible for the little boy Son to
have dragged Hampton's body off to
where it was found. 1t is unreason-
able that a grown person would
have dragged the body off that way
and left it so near the house.
The jury found that the boy came
to his death from a pistol shot by
an unknown person.

The Senate restaurant, although

ing the Saturday before the CON
vention.
Few Republican conventions, if
any, have been so charged with ex-
citement Or had so spectacular al
ending. Lincoln's prospects appear
ed small enough before the conven-
ton opened. The favorite was Will
liam H. Seward, Senator from New
York. He had a great asset in the
ability of Thurlow Weed who prose
cuted his campaign among the dele
gates. He suffered a handicap in the
Greeley, the famous New York edi-
tor, who had no candidate of his own
but refused to have. Seward. Both
Greeley and Weed were early on the
ground and ACCORDING to Mr.. Woods

notes, however, that other and non
political attractions, were numerous,
anon them beino Zouaves, circus
band, ministries, and such we'll
known theatrical nieces of the day as
"Lucretia Borgia" and "The Hidden
Hand"
The slavery issue came up uickly
on the first day of the convention,
when David Wilmot of Pennsylvania
on taking the chair as temporary
chairman made a ten-minute anti
SLAYER sneech. 'No extension of
slavery" became an essential part Of
the platform next day.
In view of the MANY days now
spent hearing delegate contests,
this convention of 60 years ago Of
fered something novel. There were
no contested delegates. There were,
however, some "contesting" states.
Whether to admit Maryland, Vir-
ginia, Kentucky and Texas was
question that occupied most of the
first day and was still undecided when
adjournment came for the day.
The next day the convention decid-
ed to admit the BORDER states" The
platform committee then brought in
its report. 1t was amended to in
