COMMITS SUICIDE
Mrs. Ashury Morris Leaves
Home in the Night and
Jumps Into River

Mrs. Asbury Morris, aged 36
disappeared from her home at
Batesville on Thursday night
Of last week, and after walk
ing some distance to the river,
jumped off a high bank into
deep water and was drowned.
Nothing was known Of her
disappearance until Friday
morning when Mr.. Morris
arose and made fire and call
ed his wife to prepare break
fast.
Mr. Morris and his sister,
Mrs. Montgomery, who lives
with him, Immediately began
a search for Mrs. Morris. They
soon discovered letter on the
dresser saying that she intend
ed to commit suicide and adj
vising them not to search fo1
her body and saying that il
could not be found.
After a vainless search by
many searching parties which
lasted all day Friday, the body

EXPOSING THE HiohBRoWs.

Beethoven's Colossal name Wa
not altogether to the taste OF the
Able Liszt, writes q London CORE
spondent Of the Christian Science
Monitor. He says It was used to
crush all contemporary composers
and tells more than one story Of
tests that he applied to find out il
the crowd were indeed "subjugatcd
by the power Of genius" or whether
their brilliant displays Of enthusi-
asm' were not largely induced by
mere attribution Of . composition to
the great master.
An inversion Of the order Of the
program on particular occasion
showed decisively how the case stood.
Without any explanation a trio OF
Pixis was played in the place Of
one by Beethoven. The brsvos were
more numerous, more brilliant than
ever; and when the trio Of Beethoven
took the place assigned to that Of
Pi1is il was found to be cold, medi.
ocre and even tiresome.

STAR PERFORMER ON DRUM
Writer Recalls British Army Man Whs
Got Real Musle From the Big
instrument

Anyone with q strong arm and an
uncertain idea Of time can spoil the
performance of the best band in eX-
istence. One Of the best big drum
mers in the British army was Viii.
liam Patrick Foley, who came to
Canada in the '70s with his regi-
ment, and after his discharge re-
mained in Canada. II was q revela-
ton to hear him play the drum part
either on parade or at band con-
cert. Few bandsmen have q right
estimate Of the value Of the big
drum, yet there is no doubt Of its
enhancing the beauty OF the band
when properly handled. 1t was in
spring even to hear Foleys three
preliminary strokes given out at the
opening of a march, not only with
precision but with resonace--every
beat vibrating. He had been proper.
" instruc,ed-he followed his drum
part carefully and intelligently. One
could tell mile of when he was in
the band, not alone by the power OF
his elbow, but, after all, because be
was a musician and understood his
instrument. - Christian Science

MANY FLOWERS HAVE EYES

Most people are aware that po-
tatoes have eyes, but how many
know that certain common garden
and wild flowers are similarly
equipped! The uasturtium, begon q,
clover, wood sorrel and bluebeil,
among others, have eyes placed On
their leaves. They are tiny pro-
truberances filled with u transparent
gummy mixture, which focuses the
rays Of light upon a sensitive patch
of tissue behind them. A nastur-
tium has a thousand such "eyes" ON
its leaves, but it is not yet known il
the plant can actually see.
