THE PLYMOUIHTRIBUNK PLYMOUTH, IND. EEKDRICKS Q CO.. . Publishers SPIRIT OF ROMANCE. To the spirit of chivalry and love cf adventure that characterized the woaderful days of long ago the averago writer turns for his romantic tales of love and war, but It seems somebow as though' enough of romance caa be found in the world at every period of its existence, even In Its present most practical and, perhaps. Its most unpoetlcal stage, to make volumes of absorbing Interest, but the aystery of the past appeals to the ordinary mind with more persistence turn the wonders of the present; por &aps, because the intervening periods of time have endowed the occurrences of other days with something of the charm of their own uncertainty. The Influence of poetry, of music, of art, cf the drama, of literature, helps to mold a world cf loveliness, and con. tributes in no small way to the happiness of living, says the Charleston News and Courier. Into each professdoa some of the spirit of romance baa crept, much of which has been handed down from generation to generation as a priceless heritage. The artistic temperament best understands tie making of those rose-sweet romances which breathe their fragrance far and v ide and make the world a Letter place In which to live, but even those of us who are not blessed with poetic natures cannot, indeed must Bet. fall to trace along our dally 3aths the romance of the world Itself Trith all its throbbing beauty a romance of life and color, of effort and Achievement, and above all of joy and ft&rplaess.

AVIATOR IS KILLED 3ALPH JOHNSTONE MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH IN FLIGHT AT DENVER, COL. EVERY BONE IN BODY BROKEN Aeroplane Wing Crumple at Height of 800 Feet and Airman Is Dashed to Ground In Presence of Thousands Struggled to Save Life. Denver, Col. From ten to fifteen huusand persons saw Ralph Johnttone. the holder of the world's aviation altitude record, plunge In his Wright biplane, at .Overland Park Thursday, from a height of 800 feet o a terrible death, nearly every bone n his "body being fractured. His tragic flight was not without a :hrllllng struggle with the grim messenger, for when the daring blrdnan realized that the earthward dive night mean the loss of his life, he :ried to climb swiftly to the top of lis aeroplane, lest the heavy machinsry crush out his life. The tragedy was apparently dne In freat measure to an accident on Tuesday, when on alighting In front oi the grand stand, a screw gave way and His biplane crashed into a fence and topped with a crushed wing. It was this wing, probably not properly repaired, that gave way and sent the machine and its driver to the ground. Johnstone got away perfectly when de started his last flight. Once or twice he circled above the admiring .hrong, then rose to a height of 900 feet. Johnstone gave some exhibitions it aerial rough riding, making his plane dip and rise, dip and rise, as though it were borne by some huge, invisible wave. j After seventeen minutes of flight, Johnstone decided to come down.' He was making a fancy descent, known to aviators as the aerial spin. ' When it a distance of about 800 feet from the ground his machine was noticed to wobble several times. Suddenly it swerved and the right wing crumpled. The part that had been inlured gave way entirely and like a huge bird crippled by a shot, it began to flutter to the ground. . Apparently Johnstone realized; Instantly that death was reaching out for him,for he hurled off his. heavy headgear ind seizing the rods sought to clamber to the top of the aeroplane, evidently trying to escape being caught under the heavy machinery. The machine fell outside Overland Park at the corner of Iowa and South Delaware streets, where a crowd had gathered on a knoll overlooking the park. All scampered to safety save Dne man, who seemed .not to realize the weight of the machine that was r.oming down upon him, but stood with uplifted arms as If to catch the birdlike monster. Suddenly he darted from under and Johnstone crashed to the ground, the machinery all above him, parts of it. however, driven clear through his body, in which no bone remained unbroken.

DUTY LEAK IUI, IT IS ASSERTED FRAUDS WILL EXCEED $10,000,000. Government Attorneys Declare Losses Are Far Greater Than Those In Sugar Swine: 4. New York. Assistant United States Attorney Whitney declares that the woolen duties frauds against which Collector William Loeb, Jr., has begun a campaign will prove the most stupendous swindle yet disclosed at this port since the government began its investigation into customs leaks. It Is saldvthat the losses in duties claimed by the government will amount to upward of 810,000,000.

Assistant Attorney Whitney said: "This Is the biggest case of the kind the government has ever had. The frauds involve several woolen manufacturing firms in England. The total amount of the duties which the government has lost through these importation frauds is much greater than in the sugar underweighiog cases."

REVOLT IN DCO

FORTY ARE KILLED IN BATTLE AGAINST DIAZ'S SOLDIERS. WOMAN SLAYS POLICE CHIEF Pueblo, Seething With Rebellion, I Scene of the Clash Francisco Madera, Head of Revolutionary Party, Claims the Presidency. Mexico City, Mex. Revolution broke out Friday In the city of Pueblo between the anti-re-electionists and the federal forces and It is reported that 40 persons were killed and three wounded. The federal soldiers have gotten the upper hand of the affair. A woman tilled the chief of police and another wounded a major of infantry. Many arrests of supporters of Francisco I Madero, the revolutionary leader, .are being made all over Mexico. Eleven Mexicans were arrested at Buena Vista and lodged In jail at Cananea charged with attempting to foment a revolution. At Orizaba numerous arrests were made and the police captured a large quantity of arms and ammunition. Details of the anti-Diaz conspiracy have come to light The conspirators had extended their operations to the state of Vera Cruz, Hidalgo, Coahuila, San Luis Potosl, Nuevo Leon, Pueblo, Jalisco, Guanajuata. Yucatan and Zacatecas. Circulars sent out by Madero or his agents from Sau Antonio, Tex., outline his campaign and announce Madero as 'constitutional president of Mexico. The manifesto reads: "I, Francisco I. Madero, will place myself at the head of a revolutionary party against the government of Mexico. Between the 20th and 30th of November I shall lead my followers against the government of Mexico." Of the men arrested here for complicity in the conspiracy one, Cosie Robelo carried a commission from Madero naming him as governor of the state of Hidalgo. No anti-American talk Is being heard now. "It is true a conspiracy against the administration has been unearthed, but it is a mistake to suppose that the participants, who have been arrested are of any importance." So said one of the highest o facials of the government. The official, whose name is withheld, continued: "The men under arrest are petty agitators and malcontents, who have affiliated themselves with every group which in the last year or so has organized opposition to President Diaz's administration. These men were first Reylsts, then Democrats, then antl-re-electlonlsts; more recently they have been supporters ot Francisco I. Madero, who is suspected of supplying them with money. "They are Incapable and have no prestige or any quality necessary to successful leadership. The present conspiracy had ramifications. The police seized arms and ammunition worth perhaps $6,000 or $8,000 in this city, at Pachuca and elsewhere." , Francisco Madero was a candidate against Diaz at the late presidential election in Mexico. Madero was arrested then for a "political offense" and jailed. He was released last month on condition that h leave Mexico. He hurried to Texas.

CARING FOR BABIES OLD FASHIONED METHODS BEST; SAYS WRITER.

All the Rules of Modern Antiseptic Hygiene Can Never Take the Place of Mother's Caressing and Coddling. The health department of New York has Issued a special bulletin on babies, containing some sixteen rules for hy gienic limitations to the infant Indus try. "Don't play with the baby," "Don't try to amuse the baby," "Don't kist the baby," "Don't bounce the baby ui and down," etc., etc. It Is a great satisfaction to thini that most mothers do not read the rules of the health department It h pleasant to reflect that mothers ani babies were here before health depart ments. Such rules, if enforced, woulc beJhe deadliest asset of race suicide "What's the use of having a taby i'. you cannot take the liberties witl him? He won't always be a baby He'll get too; big to bounce and maj ant to bounce you. You have to dc the bouncing while, the bouncing li good. And you can't afford to mlsi kissing the baby for maybe 6he'U grov up and won't regard kissing as proper At Roaring Camp, you remember, they had a biby, and only men folki to take care of It. And not having anj health department, all bey coulc think of doing was to keep the infam happy. And a big warty man w?cnf about all day saying to himself. "He rasled my finger damn little cuss. The health department would have swooped down on Roaring Camp änc sawed off all the fingers, that the babj might not be contaminated. It is probably an old-fashioned no tion, but somehow I can't help feeling that I'd rather have a mother bring up a baby than to turn him over to the antiseptic mercies of a health depart ment that wears side whiskers. Of course, parents are fond and foolish thank God. Of course, they do a lot of cooing and gurgling and cuddling and act like a crazy horse. But you never saw a baby who didn't thrive on the ridiculous attentions which its lunatic parents bestowed upon it. You can raise chickens in an incubator, but all through their young lives they go about lonesome for something they miss, and they don't know what Is. But it's tho clucking of the old foolißh hen. If an Incubator could cluck and sputter it would raise a better grade of chickens. A health department can do a lot of wise things, but it can't do any of the necessary foolish things which make parenthood delightful, satisfactory and successful. There is nothing in the world quite eo hygienic as love nothing so antiseptic and preserving as affection, and when you try to substitute medical rules for the tender caress of the brooding mother you simply take away the baby's fodder and put him on a savrdust diet Parenthood Is the one epidemic which cannot be vaccinated out of existence.

The dim electric lights feebly strove to pierce the gloom that overshadowed the platform of the elevated loop station. There was to crowd a most ' unusual happening and tho young man and yocng woman who were in the darkest spot, close together and busily conversing, had the platform almost to thenjseUes. , Impulsively she leaned nearer. With a swift motion she put her arms around his neck and At this precise moment the man on the west platform, directly opposite, who had been Idly watching the pair, turned Lis head and looked tho other way. It was none of his business. The purpose of this story is to as suro those two young persons that tho man saw nothing except what is hero truthfully set forth. Putting It Up to the Judge.
