Stein and Misener had come from Ft. Wayne where they delivered a car. They were bringing the purchasers old car to Indianapolis. , Driving at a fair rate of speed west of Indianapolis, they turned to one side to allow a swiftly moving automobile containing police and detectives, to pass. This threw Van Ettens machine to one side of the road and with a buggy directly In front of It. In his effort to turn out he swerved almost at right angles across the road, when a rear tire burst causing the machine to swerve again. The rear of the auto struck the buggy causing It to collapse. , The auto slid down a four foot embankment, overturning and pinioning Misener and Van Etten under it.

Travel is an education, but there may be need of compulsion to make it take. A man who spent much time in m foreign country says that he has learned more about It by reading than fie ever did by seeing. In many instances the sole gain of the traveler is recreation. Nothing is carried away but surface impressions. The often noticed contest among tourists over the fundamental questions. "Did yon go herel" or "Did yon go there r hints at the sum total of knowledge that was gained. An Intelligent reader would pass a better examination even on the superficial aspects of foreign lands than many of the great family of trotters. . This is not to say that the traveler must go about with a mind so serious as to be oppressive, but if be Is to benefit much by his journeyings he must be alert and inquisitive and give bis memory some exercise. He must have purpose enough to try to add to his stock of valuable knowledge, and he must be able to understand the significance of things and to make intelligent comparisons. Otherwise It makes little difference whether he travels all over Europe or walks around the block where be lives. Mere moving about never educated any one. On the other hand. It Is possible to get a very large fund both of pleasure and profit out of good books concerning strange places. Chicago Record-Herald.

FEAR MOBJflOLENCE And Bloomington Murderer Is Spirited Away. (National News Association BLOOMINGTON, Ind., June 2 William Williams, the negro who shot and killed W. H. Fielder, a sub-contractor for the Bloomington Southern rail road, was loaded into an automobile by Sheriff Jones at midnight last night and taken to the jail at Martinsville. The sheriff feared mob violence. It is probable Judge Wilson will order Williams taken to the reformatory at Jeffersonville for safe keeping. Asphalt was known to the ancients, and this material is said to have been employed as a binder in masonry by the Babylonians. A LITERARY ROMANCE. Pathetio Ending of tho Lovo Story of the Poet Laforguo. In George Moore's' "Impressions and Opinions" is told the touching love story of the poet Laforgue. who was reader to the empress of Germany. One winter day in Berlin Jules saw a girl skating as none ever skated before. The grace of the waist, the flowing boa and the feet lifted beneath the dark skirt filled him with happiness. The beautiful skater was an English girl. He resigned his place as render to the empress and married, and he and the beautiful English girl came to ParIs in the hope that literature would yield them a living. But Laforgue's genius was of the kind that wins the sympathy of the elect and instead of making his living with his pen Jules grew more and more consumptive. I have heard that the young people lived in a poor apartment two or three rooms and that the beautiful English girl, now stricken with the dreadful malady, passed between the rooms with tisanes. Friends climbed the high stairs to see them on Thursday evenings; a few admirers attended Jules' funeral and published the volume he left in his desk, "Les Moralites Legendalres;" the girl died soon after two or three months. How did she live during the brief Interval? Where is she buried? Nobody knows. Yet 1 have a separate and complete sensation of these two little lives.

Many cities in the United States find motorcycles almost invaluable in their police departments, and the number of cities using the two-wheeler in this service is constantly Increasing. But some municipalities have gone farther and demonstrated the utidty of teh motorcycle in other lines of public service that police work. One Ohio city has a number of motorcycles which are used in case of accidents. The men who operate these machines are kept in constant readiness to respond to any emergency calls requiring quick action. One place where these "minute men" have proven especially efficient is in saving persons from drowning. The Instant a call comes in, these men speed to the scene of the accident, and in a number of instances have been able to save persons who have fallen in the river.

LONDON, June 2. The News, so pleasing to London society, that the beautiful Duchess of Roxburghe, after ten years of marital bliss, is to become the mother of her first child, has been followed by the report that the duke, in the hope of gratifying his wish that the child will be a boy, has engaged a famous gynecologist, who is practically staking his reputation on the declaration that the child will be a boy. In the event of the Duke of Roxburghe not having a male child, the ancient title and estate over wbich he is lord, would revert to his brother. Lord Alastair Robert Innes-Ker, or the latter's oldest son. Both the Duchess of Roxburghe, who was Miss May Goelet, of New York, and her husband often have expressed a wish for a male child, so that their name and fortune would be handed down in direct line.
