The letter was full of endearing Hems rorfala wife and children. ' 10,8 majority of people-here the mystery surrounding the suicide is as deep as ever despite his explanaIon to his wife. In the Joint letter the suicide made ja request that G. L. Swain aot as administrator of the estate and gave a Complete Inventory of his property, jessets and'Uabiilties. He owned stock in the amount of $68,300 in various lumber enterprises, had outstanding jnotes and checks to the extent of oout S3,uuu ana was maeotea to tne (amount of $3,400.

If she cared to do so. On Monday tnorningr the suicide took his insurance policies from the safe and scru tinized each one closely. The Deceased Wife's Sister. The law against marrying a deceased wife's sister, which caused so much discussion in England, grew out of the ancient tribal law forbidding a fa ther to sell more than one daughter to the same man when the Briton was emerging from polygamy and when for 21 shillings of the present money a man might dismiss his wife or kill her If she would not "go. As civil law It was to protect the living wife and knit tribes closer together by intermarriage. When ecclesiastical law became supreme a misreading of some Scripture text was used to put the Bister of a man's wife among the prohibited degrees of relationship. This was the act of 1541 (32 Henry VIII): A man may not marry his deceased wife's sister or her daughter, but he may marry his first cousin." London Standard. Brittle Lizard. Some kinds of lizards break in two when suddenly startled. In the bush In Australia the traveler often comes across a number of these little silvery reptiles basking on a log or piece of old bark. As soon as they perceive the invader there is a great commotion. -They dart hither and thither so quickly that the eye can scarcely follow their movements. The effects of the bock are evident from the quantity of wriggling tails lying about which have been cast off in the hurry, while the mutilated owners may be seen scurrying away to safety still wagging the stumps that remain. J , Weak Heart Action There are certain nerves that control the action of the heart. !When they become weak, the heart action is impaired.

AGAINST SALOONS Unusual Condition in Warwick County. Boonville, Ind., July 31. The remonstrators of Ohio Township, Warwick County, won a decided victory before the County Commissioners, and for two years this township will be dry. The township haa 769 voters and It took 380 signers to carry out the Moore remonstrance law of Indiana. Four hundred and eighty names were secured, but the saloon keepers sued to test the legality of the remonstrance. Several hundred of the signers are coal' miners, and the politicians in this section claim that it is a test of the feeling of this class of laborers, who have heretofore favored the licensing of saloons. This county had 50 saloons two years ago. Now It has 20. HENRI MURGER'S COATS. It la Hard to.tSary In Which He Wee the More Miserable. pleasant Incident of the penurious days of Henri Murger, the author of the famous "YJe de Boheme," Is related by a French , writer. Murger when in the extreme of poverty was one day invited to a party at the house of a publisher at which It was of great importance that be should be present. Unfortunately he possessed only one suit of clothes, which was in the last stage of sbabblness. He therefore appealed to a friend who gloried in the possession of two black coats one old, the other new to lend him one. The friend, not overwilllngly, lent him the old one. It was too small for him and very shiny at the seams, but by a 11beraluse of ink be managed to make it pass muBter and attended the party. Unfortunately the friend -was there, too, and in gueat anxiety over his coat followed Murger about the room with such remarks as "Don't stand so upright You will split my coat." or "For heaven's sake, mind what you are doing with that coffee. You are splashing It all down the front of my coat" Shortly afterward a similar occasion arrived. Murger determined that nothing should make him apply for the same coat. Accordingly he went to another friend and related the whole circumstance. This friend willingly lent him a new black coat which fitted admirably. But matters were not Unproved after all, for the lender was at the party and followed Murger everywhere, exclaiming in tones of audible good nature: "Do Just what you like with my coat, old man. Tear it right up the back or cover it with grease just as you like. I shall never say a word. Only too delighted to lend it to you." A WONDERFUL MONSTER. Description of a Sew Battleship IB the Seventeenth Centnry. Is It true that our ram battleships are but old inventions in new forms? It looks like It Some one has unearthed a curious announcement which appeared in the Mereurlus Politicus for Dec. 6. 1(553, to the effect, as stated by the Dundee Advertiser, that "the famous monster called a ship built at Rotterdam by a French engineer is now launched." In a description of the vessel Its capabilities are thus detailed: "(1) To sail by means of certain instruments and wheels (without masts and sails) as swift as the moon or at least thirty miles every hour. (2) Both ends are made alike, and the ship can be stopped at pleasure and turned as easily ns a bird can turn. (3) In time of war It can with one bounce make a hole under water in the greatest man-of-war as big as a table and in an hour's time will be able to sink fifteen or sixteen ships and In three or four hours will destroy a whole fleet (4) She will be able to go to the East Indies and back again in eight or nine weeks. (3) She may be used to kill whales in Greenland, bo that a hundred ships may be laden In fourteen days. (6) She may be used to break down any pier or wooden work with great ease." A wonderful "monster this must have been. What, one is curious to know, was her fate? Fllns; tXit Yonr Smnihlne. What a satisfaction it is to go through life radiating sunshine and hope instead of despair, encouragement instead of discouragement and to feel conscious that even the newsboy or the bootblack, the car conductor, the office boy, the elevator boy or anybody else with whom one comes In contact gets a little dash of sunshine! It costs nothing when you buy a paper of a boy, or get your shoes ebined. or pass into an elevator, or give your fare to a conductor, to give a smile with it, to make these people feel that you have a warm heart and good will. Such salutatlons will mean more to us than many of the so called great things. It is the small change of life. Give It out freely. The more you give the richer you will grow.

Hot Springs, Va., July 31. W. H. Taft has admitted that he feels some-; what tired from the rapid evolutions I he has been going through during the last eight days. Few August Engagements. The engagements during August are to be very limited, if the wishes of the candidate can be realized, for ; next Wednesday he has accepted an invitation to address the annual meeting of the Virginia Bar association to be held here. His speech will be nonpolitical. A horse show to be held at White Sulphur Springs Friday and Saturday of next week, to which Representative Gaines of West Virginia has extended an urgent invitation to , the Taft party, is admittedly some-; what tempting to Mr. Taft. He says he would like to go, especially as the trip would be made over mountain roads in a coach. The proposed rally of Virginia republicans which is be-! ing arranged to take place here at a date in August yet to be fixed, will afford opportunity for what Mr. Taft expects to be his only political speech next month. - i Frank H. Hitchcock, chairman of the republican national committee, is expected to have a conference here with Mr. Taft probably shortly after the New York headquarters have been opened on August 1, and Arthur I. Vorys, chief of staff of the candidate, is expected to be a frequent visitor here during August. ! TO NOTIFY SHERMAN AUG. 18. Vice Presidential Nominee Will Hear Glad News From Burrows. Utica, N. Y., July 31. Representa tive James S. Sherman has received word from Senator J. C. Burrows, chairman of the committee to notify him of his nomination for vice president, that it will be agreeable to the committee to come to Utica Aug. 18. Senator Burrows will make the address on behalf of the committee and Mr. Sherman will respond, formally accepting the nomination. The committee will be entertained by the city. Mayor Wheeler is making plans for a big demonstration. THE MUD DAUBER WASP. She Entomb Living; Spiders as Food For Her Yonngr. When summer warmth has awakened the maternal instincts of the insect world the mud dauber wasp may be seen gathering mortar at the margin of stream, pool or puddle. Filling her mandibles, which serve as both spade and hod, she bears the load of mud to some rough surface, rock or wall or board gr beam. She spreads and shapes her mortar until, after many visits to the mud bed, she has built a tubular cell about an Inch long and threeeighths of an Inch wide. Then her huntress Instinct awakens and her raids upon the spider realm begin, for within this cylinder the mother mason will put a single egg. In course of time this will hatch into a ravenous larva whose natural food Is living spiders, and these the mother proceeds to capture and entomb within her mud daub nursery. On this errand Bbe may be seen hawking over and near cobwebs of various sorts, venturing within the meshed and beaded snares that prove fatal to most incomers and sometimes even to herself. If the occupant, expectant of prey, sallies forth to seize the Intruder, it finds itself a captive, not a captor. The wasp shakes the silken filament from wings and feet turns upon the spider, seizes and stings It bears it to her cell and thrusts it therein, H. C. McCook In Harper's Magazine. Old Man of the Hoantsls. The title "Old Man of the Mountain was first applied to Hassan Ben Sabbal, who founded a formidable dynas ty In Syria A. D. 1090. He was the prince or chief of the sect of the Mo hammedans. Having been banished from his country, he took up his abode In Mount Lebanon, gathered around' him a band of followers, who soon became the terror alike of Christians, Jews and Turks. They paid the most Implicit obedience to his commands and believed that if they sacrificed their lives for his sake they would be rewarded with the highest Joys of paradise. For 200 years these "Assassins," as they called themselves, continued to be the terror of the country, Whenever their chief, the "Old Man of the Mountain," considered himself injured he dispatched some of his as sassins secretly to murder the aggres sor. This is the origin of our use of the word assassin for a secret murderer. Ills We Might Have. A famous writer said: "Man In general, or, as it is expressed, on the average, does not live above two and twenty years, and during these two and twenty years he is liable to two and twenty thousand evils, many of which are incurable. Yet even in this dreadful state men will strut and figure on the stage of life. They make love at the hazard of destruction and intrigue, carry on war and form projects Just as if they were to live in luxury and delight for a thousand ages. $1.75 EXCURSION TO COLUMBUS.

LIFE IN THE BALKANS. Ad Obliarlnar Woman Whose House Was a Nest of Smallpox. Miss Edith Durham in her volume of travel, "The Burden of the Balkans," tells this little story of life in that region: "One night a man came to us mysteriously. He said tbat in his village there were three traitors. Before anything further could be done they must be destroyed. They could not be shot for this would probably bring down the authorities, and it was impossible to buy poison because the law ou the sale of it was very strictly enforced. But Muadama' (myself) was a friend of the doctor. No doubt if she asked him he would write her something that could be put in coffee. Then the three gentlemen could be asked to supper and their political differences quietly arranged. Nor had he any doubt that I should fulfill this humble request." Of the dangers of smallpox and like diseases Miss Durham says that the Ba kan people show a childlike ignorance. She writes: "At one village when I was leaving I was asked to give a little backsheesh to the priest's w'fe. 'Poor woman!' they said. 'Two of her little children are ill of the smallpox, one has died, she has had it herself and is not yet well, but she cooked your supper in her own house and brought it here for you! Another time a woman rushed out of a house, seized me in her arms and kissed me upon either cheek until I struggled free. Her three children were down with smallpox, and this warm greeting was an appeal to me to give help." POMPEII A TOY CITY. It Was Given Oxer to Imitation, and Luxury. Emnlatlnsjr Rome. Pompeii, as can be seen on every hand, was what Bulwer-Lytton deScribes it a toy city, given over to Imitation and luxury. Rome set both the example and the pace. The excavations which have proceeded for more than a century and a half may be said now to be fairly completed. Nothing more is needed to enable the archaeologist to reconstruct the life of the ancient Roman colonynothing else to startle the modern seeker after truth. The temples, the villas, the theaters, the baths, the gardens, disentombed at last, lie gaping to- the skies in heaps of variegated marble and granite, whispering their story mayhap to the moon, yet telling it plainly enough to the passerby under the common light of day a story of indolence and frivolity mistaken by the semibarbaric mind for pleasure, of gorgeous displays in public places, mysterious orgies in private, feasts Incalculable, vinous liba tion to the gods, gladiatorial combats, chariot racing, human beings fed to lions all in mimicry of Rome, of Rome already beginning its downward course toward the fall.

KING HORROR IS NEARLYJiPLICATED Action of Engineer All That , Prevented. Ft Wayne, Ind., July 31. The King horror in which an entire family was wiped out recently by an automlbile being crashed into by a fastflylng train, was almost duplicated here late "yesterday afternoon and with the same engineer in the cab as upon that occasion. The Pennsylvania Manhattan was racing along at the rate of sixty miles an hour when Engineer Peter Carter saw a touring car on a parallel county turnpike racing with him for a crossing. The car contained two women and three children beside the chauffeur. With the picture of the King disaster fresh before his eyes, Carter re versed his engine. The auto sped madly on for the crossing. The engine stopped Just before reaching it, and Carter saw the big touring car turn turtle within a foot of the rails and dump its occupants into the ditch. The engineer left his cab long enough to render assistance to the women and to give the chauffeur a lecture which the passengers on his train applauded. Would Have Been Inside.
