were under IS years OF age. It was
against the law to execute a per-
son under this age for murder. The
first attempt TO murder the arch
duke was made before he entered
the town hall. The assassin made
the mistake OF picking the wrong
car. however. and wounded the
archduke's aide-de-camp.
Warned by Mayor
When he arrived at the town
hall. the archduke was warned by
the mayor not to proceed with the
proposed parade as he would prob
ably be killed. Franz Ferdinand
scoffed at this and said that 1t was
his belief that the first attempt
had merely been an accident. AS
the car turned the first corner
away from the town hall a young
Serbian student BY the name OF
Gabriel Princip fired the two fatal
shots at the car and instantly killed
the archduke and his wife.

escape BY jumping into the nearby

replied Stubtail meekly, and went to
look for more sticks to build his plat
form little higher.
When the platforms were arranged to
the satisfaction of Mrs. Stubtail the
plants were spread on them and the
Stubtails went back for more. When
Jolly, bright Mr.. Sun came peeping
through the branches the next morn
ing he discovered those platforms of
carefully cut plants and knew that
they had been left there for him to dry
out So he shone his brightest and the
once or twice during the day Mrs.
Stubtail peeped out to see that all was
well. Once she came out and re-
arranged the plants so that those un-
derneath would get the sun and dry
properly.
With the coming Of dusk the Stub
tails were out and as busy as ever. The
driving plants we're carefully examined
and turned for the next days drying
and then new platforms were prepared
beside another entrance and another
supply of food cut and spread on these.
So the Stubtails worked nights for
themselves and days jolly, bright Mr..
Sun worked for them, and when on the
third night they came out Mrs. Stubtail
decided that the plants were dry enough
to be stored.
They'll do" said she. "I am afraid
that If we leave them out any longer
they may get wet and all our work be
for nothing Well put these in the
store room nearest our bed room"
"Yes'm," replied Stubtail, and gath
cred q mouthful of the dry plants, do
ing 1t neatly, with the butts all laid to-
gether. Through the long tunnel he
carried them and carefully packed
them away in the store room nearest
the bed room. Mrs. Stubtail followed
with a bundle and Stubtail hurried back
for another
Now, how about some fern roots?"
asked Stubtail as the last little bundle
was put in place.
They are always good and I know
where there are some splendid ones.
Come on" replied Mrs. Stubtail and led
the way with Stubtail at her heels.

1T is quite generally conceded that
the elimination of profits in time of

/ Studies of the commission at this

Hurley stated Nor is there basis for
