Doa's Death Led to Suicide.

Mrs. Margaret Dugdale, wife Of Norman Dugdale, J. F., of Dutton Manor, near Blackburn, was found dead with a bullet wound In her fore head in field near the grave of her favorite dog, which had been de stroyed on account of old age. De pression caused by its loss was sug. gested at the inquest as the cause of her suicide, says Lloyd's News, Lon. don. When found she was grasping a humane cattle killer, at her feet was a mallet with which she had dis charged the weapon, and a loaded re volver was in a basket near her. She had fixed mirror to the fence, and note pinned to her dress gave direc- lions for the disposal of her body. MT. Dugdale said he thought the dogs death, which his wife had taken great ly to heart, was the cause of the tragedy, and the jury's verdict was that Mrs. Dugdale shot herself while of unsound mind.

Tibet Takes Up War Cana.

Tibet Is engaged fin a footing expe- dition. just as she has been for cen turies. She has invaded szechuan, a border state of China. The only sig niflcance this has during the present world war. according to the Philadel phia Evening Bulletin, is that soms thousand years before Solomon was born, Tibet boasted of a high state of civilization. as did her neighbor Sze. chuan. But ages of warfare have made Tibet the domain of half savage ma. rauders. Tibet boasts the sacred c,tv of Lhasa. the seat of official Buddhism where squalor, art, religion and high pretensions are mixed in inextrtcahls confusion.
