ATTORNEY SENT MESSAGE Said Plantiff Would’ Be Here Monday, but Court Refuses to Continue Action. The record-smashing $2,500,000 breach of promise suit, filed a year ago against Michael J. Hurley of St, Louls by Ursula Barbara von Kalinowski (‘Baroness Bab”) ot Wiesbaden, Germany, fizzled out in the Federal Court today when the ‘Baroness’ and her New York attorney failed to appear and Judge Dyer literally threw the case out of court. Big Crowd in Court, Quite a crowa, attracted by the promi- nence of the breach of promise case, had gathered in the courtroom when Judge Dyer took the Bénch. The court was ready to proceed with the trial, having set this as the day at the re- quest of the “Baroness’’’ attorney, George EH. Fleming of New York. Horace L. Dyer, a son of Judge Dyer, arose and read a telegram dated Dec. 11, which he said he had frecerved from Fleming: “Plaintiff will be in St. Louis Monday to try case. I cannot be there,”’ it read. No Reason for Absence Given. “The telegram doesn’t give any rea- son for the plaintiff not being here,"’ Judge Dyer remarked. ‘“‘What do you think?” asked the Judge, addressing W. Christy Bryan, counsel for Hurley. “I think the case ought to ibe dis- missed,”’ Bryan promPtly *plied. Horace Dyer read another telegram, which he said he received prior to get- ting the one dated Dec. IL In it Fleming had inquired ‘when the case would come up, in the event the piaintiff would not be ready today. Dyer said he had replied that the case, ir. that event, would go over until the May or September term. | Judge Refuses to Continue Case. Judge Dyer, in his characteristic gruff, deep voice, interrupted with: “I won't continue this case, These people ought to be here.” Then, turn- ing to the court crier, he said: “Call this plaintiff, if you cati pronounce her name.” “ The court crier did the best he could, and, to his credit, let it be said that he faltered only about 15 or so times in the three efforts he made to cali for “Ursula Barbara von Kalinowski.” The Baroness did not respond. ‘This court is not here for the benefit of attorneys who live outside the city,’’ Judge Dyer remarked. “I set this case modation to an outside attorney, and [ won’t continue it any further. I dis- miss this case for want of prosecution.”’ SCHOOLS COLD, 1200 SENT HOME One Frrnace. Not Enough for Two Kast St. Louis Baildings.

Ward, Who Was_ Shot, Liked to Startle Friends. Detectives investigating the killing of 39 years old, of 1422 North Tenth in a hallway at Eighth and Carr streets. late Saturday night, are greatly puzzled by some fea- tures of the case. Schoppe of, the Carr Street Station says he is convinced Ward's death was the result of an ac- cident. : Ward is not known to have had any enemies.’ Hle never drank liquor and was not quarrelsome. He wags shot at such close quarters that his head was marked with powder. This circum- stance, together with the fact that, art the time he was shot, his right hand was iu a pocket, leads Capt. Schoppe to believe death may have been due to one of Ward's eccentricities known to all his friends. He had a habit of looking for ap- proaching acquaintances and immediate. Iv lowering his head so as to avoid recognition. Then he would stop sud denly directly in the path of his ac- quaintance and either laugh loudly or trv to look severe and threatening. The Police Captain believes Ward mav have mistaken someone for a friend an‘ stopped him suddenly in this manner. | His haud being in a pocket may have } made the stranger think he was being held up. It was several hours before Ward's body was identified by his wife. He was a brother of Martin Ward, who died Thanksgiving day, after he had been elected on the Democratic ticket to the Missouri House of Representatives. Mrs.. Ward told the police that when her husband left the house Saturday night he appeared cheerful and said he was going for a short walk. As he went out he said: “I will be back In just a few minutes.” Ward had been working in the post- office until recently.

PART OF CHURCH AT KIRKWOOD. 51 YEARS OLD, BURNS Volunteer Firemen Save Addi- tion to Structure Despite Cold and Runaway Team. TlYe old portion of Grace Episcopal Church, at the’ corner of Main and Tay- lor avenues, Kirkwood, was destroyed by fire early this morning, but the vo:- unteer firemen, after several exciting | scenes, including the running away of the hose cart team, saved the recently built brick addition to the church. Grace Church was erected 61 years ago and an addition was built about two years ago. The Rev. J. J. Wilkins is rector, and services were held Sunday evening as usual. The fire was discov- ered by Deputy Marshals Dintelmann and Wise. Church Property Carried Out. They were passing the church at 4:20 a. m.,. when. they saw smoke coming from the roof of the church just at u point where the old and new buildings joined. They turned in an electric alarm, which is supposed to notify all 19 members of the volunteer department at their homes. For some reason \the alarm did not work well, and Capt. Wil- liam Donworth and three men found themselves obliged to take out the hose cart without other atd., They had reached the fhurch and dumped a portion of the hose upon the ground when the horses attached to the cart became excited and dashed away with several reels of hose. The animals raced about town for more than 15 minutes and then disappeared. More than an hour later they brought the hose cart back to their -barn. The Rev. Mr. Wilkins and a number of the vestrymen, including some of the prominent men of Kirkwood, worked hard carrying church property to the street. With the aid of Loraine F. Jones Jr., the rector saved the pulpit and prayer desk with books, Other Buildings Were Threatened. The cold kept the firemen in fear their hose might burst and when sparks be- gan to fall upon the roofs of five frame houses to the east of the church they sent a call ta Webster Groves. It is believed that the fire was caused by a defective flue. The Rev. Mr. Wnh- kins says he is unable as yet to esti- mate the damage. The church cost $90, - 000 to build. The rector made a public request that the newspapers extend the thanks of the church members for the splendid work done by the fire department men under severe trial | Miniater, Aged 105, Dies.

This has left the French to do four- fifths of the defending. | : For the last few weeks the English troops, which made a magnificent stand! south of Ypres, have been withdrawn, and French troops, who are adapting themselves rapidly to trench life, are holding the forward positions., The In- dian troops are about the only portion of fhe English forces right now directly under the German guns. The inundated country along the Yser in as Gead as if it had been in the with- ering course of a comet and at the same time it is alive with menace of sudden of a battery or a trench they cause a mans are supposed to be the thorough race, but the French sweep the lines closer. Unless Germany decides to force the situation and make another dash fur some place, the fight this winter along fmearly the whole of the line for over 200 miles is going to be an artillery duel, with the French coming out far ahead. It would be impossible to guess how many millions in ammunition it will cost the French, but it will be worth the cost and will be worth the crip- .

Spending day after day tn damp tches and dugouts is the hardeat work soldier can be called upon to do, and e soldiers become more intent on ping warm than killing the enemy. | Tittle Fighting Till Spring. ,eif I were to permit myself a broad should ve days os pling of the middle-aged French terri- torials if the line can be held where it is until spring. The trenches they have in France are mostly on hilly country and wel drained. By working shifts every few hours it can be done. The most un- pleasant place is in Flanders. For a distance of # or 50 miles, reaching south from the sea, there is a stretch of flat country where it is difficult to keep dry feet, but the French territorials seem to be able to make themselves comfort- able there. This is due to the prac- tical construction of their trench shel- ters—which are susceptible of being closed into compartments every few feet —and the wooden shoes most of them wear. I stuck my head into one of these re- cently on a very mean rainy day, anid would have gone farther except for fear of creating some absurd suspicion of spying on the ever suspicious French. The ground was damp, and that was not much relieved by the damp straw on it, but the wooden shoes of the four ocoupants were serving them very well. The shelter overhead leaked on them in only a few places. Tt was not the kind of place one would choose to be in, and if you had to stay there half:an hour in ordinary clothes you would probably be chilled through; but the French territo- rials in it had on woollen undercloth- ing of the thicknesé and texture of one of these blue flannel shirts worn by loggers without a coat jn all kinds of weather. It was bleak and uncomfort- abl t as cheerless and monoto- nous @ surrounding as you could think of, French Holding Whole Line. When the territorials have weathered out this winter they will deserve an easy summer. They are running much smaller chances of being killed than the younger, better trained troops, however, and they would probably take their present job for choice. On the other hand, the best troops would go to pleces under the asatrain. So there we have Joffrie’s strategy again. Hz has put his men into the positions they would prefer to be, and. he will tcome out in the spring with a fresh army fit to take the field. To it will be added Kitchener’s million and a half men, then fully trained, and the 200,000 the Belgians expect to add to the allied army. If no important change takes place in the Western theater of war, the allies will have a fresh army by February of nearly 4,000,000 men. ° 3 For the first time since the war began BETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets are a horrible slaughter in a small area, but the French search out every corner and keep up the fire everlastingly. The Ger- |AND HAIR rests under a blight. danger. As you go along through it you expect to be struck dead suddenly. It ig the hush of a battlefield. The destruc- tion by bullet and shell is all swallowed up by water except for the sogttered farm houses which are torn into such fantastic shapes they look as if they had been struck by some preternatural force, The whole desolation of water I first came upon the flooded flelds-at Nieuport. That old Flemish tewn, which had been peacefully sleeping for sev- eral hundred years, looked aa if it had been knocked about by some malign power that took a malicious joy in shak- ing it out of its complacency. The houses had been so badly crumpled they had slumped down, or poured out, into’ the streets. Though the streets are fair- ly wide for a Flemish town, there was only one that could be driven through, and that only with difficulty. The fact that no fires had been started added to the effect. Except for the ragged shell holes tn wall and roof, and the thick peppering of rifle bullets, {t might have been tumbled about by the enormous careless hand of some supernatural being. There was not a soul] in the town. In fact, there were not a dozen houses which had not bean rendered uninhabit- able. Under cover of one of its build- ings, however, a battery of French suns was cracking the silence with timed regularity. There was something almost companionable and human about them in these surroundings. The Ger- mans were answering, but irregularly, with much bigger guns, and their crash- es split and rent the already torn ouses. We were in a waste of dark, still wa- ter, with thousands of men on both sides of us, any one of whom could have picked us off. If we could have seen them it would have been easier to bear. I know that all m: night- mares are going to be concerned with the endless drive to Lombaertzyde. We drove the distance in less than 10 min- utes, I am sure, but it seemed many hours. Many of the Germans who had fallen in their trenches before the water crept up on them were still unburied. They were fighting with their heavy equip- ment, and it held them down even long- er after death. Many Germans were weighted down by the bodies of their dead comrades and, too weak from loss of blood to help themselves, must have been slowly strangled by the rising water. Out there, looking down on these trenches covered with six or eight feet of water, you could not help think- ing of them struggling, turning and twisting, te keep their heads clear, but drowned in the end.

Car- ranze, through Consul Canada at Vera | Cruz, today formally advised the State | Department that any use of force by | the American troops at Naco, Ariz., in their efforts to: keep Mexican bullets ' from American soil will be considered an act of hostility, however well dis- posed the Government may be.” This | @grees with the General's statement at Vera Cruz on Saturday. Reiterating his previous statements, a Carranza says Gen. Hill has controlled his fire and that he is sending instruc- | tions anew to the Sonora commander to avoid any firing thet would endanger those across the American border. He deplores that Americans have been killed and wounded, but suggests that these accidents have been due to care- jessness on the part of Americans, or ‘impudent curiosity,’’ and cites similar oecurrences when Madero beseiged Juarez and Americans endangered their ‘lives by seeking points of vantage in £1 Paso from which to view the fight- ing. Vinally he points out that the position of Hifl’s troops, who are stationed with their backs to the American frontier, is such that it would be impossible for their fire to enter American territory, and that consequently any shots from the American side would be a Greet aid to the Villa forces, .

APPEAL TAKEN IN EXCESS FARE. RESTITUTION | 2 Attorney-General Says Holding of Judge Davis Would Bar All . a From Recovery. JEFFERSON CITY, Dec. 14.—Attor- : ney-General Barker today appealed to ‘ the Supreme Court from the decision of Judge Samuel Davis at Marshall, in which Davis sustained a demurrer to Barker’s $2,000,000 bianket suit against _the Chicago & Alton Rallroad for the return of excess passenger fares and freight charges collected pending the litigation of the new rate law. If Judge Davis’ holding should be sus- \ tained, Barker declares no citizen will be able to recover 1 cent excess charges collected by the ralliroads. Judge Davis held that inasmuch as ee there was no bond required when the injunction was granted in 1907, there a tt to our apartments, that {[ would have to go td police headquar- ters.

IKRATZ ACCUSED IN BRIBERY OFFER S UP FOR TRIAL Republican Politician and Saloon Man Was Indicted With L. A. Holdenried. The case of John Kratz, Republican politician and proprietor of the Falstaif Inn, 11 North Sixth street, on a charge of attempting to bribe Henry Klug, member of the House of Delegates for the Tenth Ward, was called for trial in Judge Hennings’ court today. Leonard A. Holdenried, a wall paper dealer of 3006 South Jefferson avenue, who is Onder indictment on the same charge, will be one of the principal wit- nesses for the State. Kratz was indicted March 1 last, it being alleged that on May 23, 1913, he attempted to bribe Klug to vote for a bill to provide an increase of 10 cents in the tax rate for the purpose of build- ing a wagon roadway over the free bridge. Mayor Had Vetoed Biull. This bill, which was backed by Jep- tha D. Howe's Southern Traction Co. of Illinois, had been vetoed by Mayor Kiel and was then up in the Mufficipal As- sembly for passage over the Mayor's veto. Only a few votes in the House of belegates were needed to make it a law. The indictment of Kratz followed a depesition made by Holdenried, who said that on May 23, 1913, he was in Kratz’s saloon, when Kratz approached him and asked if he knew Delegate Klug. He said he did, Then, according to his deposition, Kratz instructed him to get Klug and bring him to the sa- loon. Holdenried said he found Klug and told him there was $500 in it for him if he would vote for the tax increase bill. He testified he and Klug went to Kratz’s saloon, but that no money was paid to Klug there.

The first impression one gets from the pictures is their clearness and dis- tinctness. This is preserved through- out, even in places where the smoke and dust of battle would seem to make mo- tion-photography almost a hopeless task. The next, and the most lasting im- pression, is the genuineness of the scenes. > Not once, in the pictures of battle- fields and ruined cities, does anyone give the slightest indication of posing before the camera. The business on hand was too real and too urgent for anything of the sort. If any con- sciousness of being photographed is shown, it igs by the big, shaggy dogs which form so important a part of Bel- gium’'s motive power in peace and in war, and which are shown drawing ma- chine guns. Everyone Was Shivhin. Truly ‘‘motion” pictures are these, for no one was standing still when they were taken. Everyone was in motion, the soldiers to the front, the populace, still precipitately, to the rear and to the border. ™ Only once are Belgian troops shown in retreat. A retreating artillery company is shown moving through the streets of Termonde, but the retreat is not a pre- cipitate one. And in the advances the men do not hurl themselves impetuous- ly toward the foe, as men do in the make-believe of posed war scenes. Self- preservation is perhaps not the ‘first law of war, but it is not forgotten, and the men are shown taking every precaution mage possible by forestry and by in- trenchments, while at the same time sticking to the main purpose of holding the enemy back, The climax of the fighting scenes is reached in the reel showing the defense of an outpost of Antwerp. There men are distinctly seen to fall, killed or wounded by German bullets. There is 1:0 wild, dramatic staggering back and tossing about of limbs and weapons. The man falls sidewise or slips forward on his face, and a moment later his com- rades carry him to the rear. The brav- ery of Red Cross workers, some of them priests in their cassocks, is shown in these battle scenes, where they are al- most on the firing line. Cutting of Dikes Shown, Even more impressive than the blot- ting out of human lives is ‘the efface- ment of Belgium’s soil, in the dis- HE Garrick Theater was filled yesterday afternoon and evening, dur- ing the continuous production of the European war moving pictures, shown for the benefit of the Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival. pictures will be shown through this week, from 11 a. m. and admission to all parts of the house will be 25 cents. These pictures were made on Belgian battlefields, and in the towns and cities of Belgium, by Edwin F. Weigle, staff photographer of the Chicago Tribune, under a contract with the Belgian Government. By the terms of this contract, the Tribune pays to the Belgian relief fund a portion of its The to 11 p. m. daily, tricts where, to drown and drive out the invaders, the authorities destroyed the dikes and let in the water. That in the most densely populated nation of Eu- rope, this hard-won and almost price- less land should be given back to the sea and its tributaries, shows the des- perate character of the resistance made by King Albert's Government. The ruined homes, stores and churches of Termonde, Malines, Alost and other cities and towns are no less eloquent in their demonstration of the horror and barbarity of warfare. Such pictures are enough to make a pacifist— almost a peace-at-any-pricer—of any- one. “The Terror of Flight.” The departure of Antwerp’s people over a pontoon bridge spanning the Scheldt, by which the Belgian and Brit- ish forces later escaped, and the _ re- treat of civilians from other places to the Dutch border, are shown in pic- tures which lose none of the “terror of flight.” A piteous pageant, some push- ing wheelbarrows, some carrying sacks, others driving a cow or two, moves to the channel, to Holland, any- where away from the dreadful shells. Wounded German soldiers appear in some of the views, with Belgians help- ing them to walk, and apparently giv- ing them every attention that was given to Belgium’s own wounded.

Quite to the contrary, it is blatantly vocal with twaddle and rot, a very flux of almost incredible drivel, indeed, lay- ing claim to some sort of philosophy that never rises above vain and puerile ‘“‘mushiness” in its relation to real life, and making such a demand upon the pa- tience of playgoers more than willing to be entertained and instructed that its last curtain finds an infinite weariness the only existent result of its presenta- tion. ‘ Its central figure is an artificial hero in whose behalf the story’s attempt to create an atmosphere of sympathy, from which a halo of martyrdom and ultimate spiritual triumph may be evolved later, fails utterly and with a deserved dull thud of impotent pathos. One envies the very deafness which is exaggerated into the basis of this remarkable creature's still more remarkable woes, touch of it would avert much suffering across the footlights. Because of this deafness—not by any means a major curse justifying the bit- ter spirit of revolt that constitutes the of Montgomery Starr through four acts of amazing insincerity—and which did not prevent Montgomery Starr’s marrying a young woman who loved his nephew—bdneé is made to con- front an impossible person whom the best acting in the world could never vitalize into anything like the semblance of a human being.

The selections for this board after its re-organi- sation by the Legislature some years ago were, under a gentleman's, agreement, covered by «a league of neutrality entered into by the politica! bosses. Hach of the two great parties was to nominate one-half of the board members chosen at any one election. The board president was to be selected alternately from its Republican and Democratic members. Politica was to be left out of the in- fluences determining decisions and judgments.

The Needy in Missouri. “Metet-reading the article in the Post-Dispatch concerning your helping the needy across the water,, the thought came to me, if those kind ladies only knew the state of affairs in Southeast Missouri I know they would realize the old slogan of “charity begins at home,” and turn their minds to the needy children in the cot- ton districts. It is going to be something terrible if we have a long, hard winter. Of course there ‘weuld not be so much fame and publicity con- nected with helping these poor children. but a wooed Christian woman will not think of that. Just a few hundred dollars and some good warm clothes and some children will live to be a memorial of your kindness of heart. Dear women ef Bt. Loule, please give this a thought and form a committee to relieve some of the suffering in the cotton districts. MRS. H. H. V. KELLY. Portageville, Mo. A Sufficient Defense. Té the Batter ef the Post-Dispatch. If Rear Admiral’s Fietcher’s statement is true that only England has a navy superior to the United States, President Wilson, in his measure, stated a great truth when he said our navy is our defense. No other country, except England, could even get near our shores with « land force. Mingland ig no better off than we are when it jen to a standing army of trained soldiers. she was training orfe soldier we could Bo it would be impossible for English invade this country. f the nations now at war will be able to make the United States, even if they should esire to do so.

The prevalence of reformed primaries has left these School Board members as the only public officers in St. Louis over whose nomination the convention system still retains jurisdiction. This is true in part because of the difficulty of carry- ing out the gentleman’s agreement and preserving the nonpartisan character of the board under the plan of nominating by popular vote. But tt 12 manifest that the city convention, from whose clutch other and much less important {Offices have been wrested, should not be perpetu- ated simply to nominate Boord of Hducation mem bers. Furthermore, with these members as the only selections over which the convention bosses have control, nominations as satisfactory as those during the first yeare of the reorganized board are not to be expected. A change is seen to be inevitable, but the nature of it must be determined at the coming session of the Legislature. Direct nomination will jeopardize something of proven value in the workings of the board—the earnest co-operation of all parties {in a nonpartisan spirit for the best interests of the schools. This great advantage can be held and new advantages gained by making the board an appointive instead of an elective body. . To confer on the Mayor, who is subject to the recall, authority to appoint will be in harmony with the shortballct idea of the new charter. It will insure the selection of a better average in material, a more equitable representation on the board for different sections of the city, and a membership more responsive to the popular desire. The sentiment of St: Louis should be brought into agreement on this change in time to make its wishes effective early in the legisla, tive session. The choice is between boss-selected members | and Mayor-selected members. Which does the city want? = |S" * _ i a THE SCHOOL OF EXPERIENCE. Rolla’s football players are learning that insur- rections are not always successful, even when they achieve their primary purpose. Their period of suspension will give them opportunity for profita- ble reflection upon the ynwisdom of defying col- lege authorities and the canons of collegiate sport. ae VILLA’S AMBITION. He has revealed it to the New York World’s Mexico City correspondent. He doesn’t wish to be President. He wishes merely to select and control the President and to get a contract for rebuilding the national] railways. Honors and uni- forms for his ambitious associates; contracts and power for Pancho. The fact that he wishes to build something, and not merely to loot or po- litically reform something, marks him as singular among Mexican leaders. Perhaps the foreman for the Mexican job of re- construction and regeneration has appointed him- self. The peon who learned to read and write while awaiting execution in prison may be the roan. . : : COLD TRIPPER CARS. Complaints have been received that cars known as trippers are.not properly warmed. The fires are not lighted until the cars actually begin their trip, which means that there is no adequate warmth. until the passengers are more than half way downtown. * Tt is said that the excuse given {s that ft is not! practical to light fires while cars are tn the sheds. But surely the cars could be stationed just out- side the sheds for 15 minutes, and fires made up requiring a minimum temperature in street cars | during cold weather.

Naval vessels of the nations at war seem to be attempting about as frregular a use of the waters at each end of the Panama Canal as they have made of obscure ports of weak Latin American countries without the means of enforcing the laws of neutrality. , The British apparently are worst offenders at Pangme. They are making a great blunder in presuming on the good. nature of Col. Goethals. Because his name fs linked with one of the great- est peaceful achievements of history, it must not be supposed that he has not equal accomplish-~- ments and capacity in the profession of a soldier. His request that the naval strength at his dis- posal in the vicinity of the canal be increased by the addition of swift destroyers for convenient use fn emergency shows that he is nfaking a de- mand for neutrality that has.a punch in ft. In insisting on full recognition for the privi- leges of neutrality we must set an example to the world in the strict observance of the obligations cf neutrality. We may belfeve that the duties tm- posed on us are fn safe hands so far as the great public utility which we have given to the world at the isthmus ts concerned. Col. Goethals’ po- sition is oné of extreme delicacy. He is entitled to all facilities for safeguarding us against tnci- dents that may plague in the future. An ounce’of prevention at the canal will be worth several pounds of cure. = ] i i THEY KNOW BETTER. —— It is lucky for us—and for them—that the Buropean Governments do not share Prof. Usher’s conviction of this country’s utter defenselessness. If they did, one of them might be foolish enough to poke the hornets’ nest. = = * rT yr BURDENSOME OCEAN FREIGHT CHARGES. The conviction that {t is going to be a long war ig strengthened by several public utterances of late, from authorities qualified to judge. With the end of the war in sight by spring, the fate of the Government ship-purchase measure might be a matter of small concern. But with the end three years away, presumably, the passage of the bill becomes urgent. : Ocean freight charges have almost doubled since the adjournment of Congress. This is due to the shortage in shipping. Germany’s 8,000,000 tons of merchant shipping is lost to commerce. England has taken over hundreds of thousands of tons and great numbers of sailors for war uses. A large tonnage has been destroyed. With- out the purchase bill, which can restore a great tonnage in interned vessels to the service of the peaceful nations, a crisis in the ocean-carrying the coming year. Private initiative under our liberalized navi- gation laws cannot be looked to for relief. Up to date only about 250,000 tons has been trans- ferred to our flag under the amended laws and a considerable percentage of that consists of tank steamers and other vessels devoted to special uses. 4 = = —- = = LADY SHOWYOU IS SHOWN. . Nebraska, not content with developing the best Western university football team, the highest- priced orator and the largest dry rivers in the country, has come forward with the champion hen. Lady Showyou, a Missouri White Leghorn, was the champion, with a record of 281 eggs in 365 days. Lady Laymore, a Nebraska White Leghorn, has just completed a year’s work in which she raised the limit to 286 eggs. . Missouri! doesn’t claim all the championships, but she is fn most instances the party the new champion has to beat. We are, we may add, confident that somewhere on a Missouri farm there is a gawky, greedy, pre- maturely thoughtful highbrow of a White or Brown Leghorn chick that is destined to make it a flat 290. If Nebraska wishes to ‘consider that modest prediction as a challenge, Nebraska is free to make the most of it. FIFTEEN MORE YEARS OF LIFE. A dictum attributed to one famous physician, Dr. Osler, was that by the time a man was 40 years of age he had attained such success as he would attain in life and that at 60 a man should be chloroformed. — However, that was some years ago. Now cofnes another famous physician, Dr. Victor CO. Vaughan, | president of the American Medical Association, to give us science’s latest deductions as to potential possibilities of those who are no longer young men. Age as expressed in terms of years does not mean at all what it used to mean, says Dr.) Vaughan. The average length of life has in- creased. A man now is as young, has as many possibilities before him at 60 as his father had at 36. Doubtless the Osler theorem expressed a truth. Being, however, based on the experience of for- mer years, it does not fit present conditions with. exactness, and to be brought up to date requires some slight modification to adjust it in conform- ity with the data on what the Vaughan theorem is based. Making the changes needful to fit the new terms in which age is expressed, it appears that the man who has not by the time he is 65 years old—formerly it was 40 years old—made the age at which chloroform must be ordered is 76, not 60. It is a pleasant thought that the man of 35— new reckoning—has nowadays all the expe- rience, the sound judgment, the wise maturity of the man.of 50. With this great advantage, why should not he make a success of his life, We not only. have a better equipment than men used to have, but things have been shoved along so as to give us at the time when men are at the fuilness of their powers 15 more years tn which to do our work. trade may be one of the causes of anxiety during} ' especially as he has many more years in which ito win success than his father had? , | - > : | ; ae | | ~ os ~ ee ee ON JUST “AUDACIOUS.” The steel-bullt monsters of the sens, Dreadnoughts they have been named, Andaciouw flag flung to the breeze Of mazght on carth ashamed, The mighty guns epen their decks, Ané@ power tn every Hine, In one short moment they are wrecks, Just blown up by a mine. ~~ Ten million dollars is the cost Of one of those machines; So you can see what there is lost— Net counting the marines.

In the cabin on the hill a wom- an was weaving, and if one were near enough he could hear, between the muffled double-beats of the loom, the swish of the shuttle darting back and, forth through the parted threads. The beat of the loom went farther. One could hear it away to the point where the road crawled around the side of the opposite hill—boom-boom, boom-boom, with a steady relentlessness, as though one of the Fates were up there, weav- ing the web of somebody's life. In the cabin, a silent child sat on, the floor. building a little house of sticks, | eee and smiling at it dispassignately when it tumbled down; after which he built it up again. Not far from the silent child was the silent woman, weaving; a pale, big-eyed woman, keeping at her work with a deadly composure. She wore a faded brown homespun dress, clumsily fashioned, but on the wall in the corner hung.the decent black dress and the decent black sun-bonnet which she wore abroad. When one is poor one cannot mourn every day. A Rider Appeared. HE bench upon which she sat as RA she wove was beside a window whicn looked out across the val- ley and to the other hill, and especial- iy commanded a view of that yellow road rounding the shoulder of the hill. Soon a rider appeared. “Well,” drawled the man, slowly, his hand on his sunburnt beard, “I thought I'd come and let ye know they've cleared Bill Fowler.’’ She had looked at him just a moment, then the poised shuttle flew on its ap- pointed path, and the loom set up its dull beating again. “Looks like a man can do anything he feels like, these days, an’ come free,’ said the man at the door, throwing one leg over the horn of the saddle. “How long is it since he killed Joe?—three years, I reckin—an’ they’ve had changes of venue an’ mistrials an’ appeals, an’ one dodgé an’ another, till everybody was about wore out with it, an’ cleared ‘im to git rid of ’im, An’ now, here ’e is, scot free. He seemed mighty say up in town.’’ The woman at the loom laid down the shuttle and-turned on the bench. “If you-all have got any seeds +o spare I wisht ye’d bring me over some,” she said. “I want to git ready to plant ‘my fall gardin.”’ The man in the door shot a swift glance at her and then looked. away with an air of absorbed interest in the landscape. “I'll bring ye over some,” he said, slowly straightening himself in the sad- dle. “I jes’ thought I'd come by an’ let let EE ———_ rr trrrrtrererneeenennnetinnen eemmenmenetnenennieans: bo Pe eee by Order Rankrupt Stock Now Being Sold of U.

She looked at him, and he rode away, merely glancing in the most casual manner towards that little line of road that rounded the shoulder of the opposite hill. As for the woman, what strange im- pulse had come upon her to arise in the midst of her work and put on her black dress—the seldom used black dress that one could not afford to wear every day? sit and weave again, with the somber eyes watching that peaceful bit of road? If one chanced to be coming along that. road now, moving haif in a dream through the violet haze, the earth would surely look very fair to him, espectally if he had been shut in three long years from the sight of the sun. Down below there was a valley, with a hazy light drifting down upon the still tree-tops, so that they seemed like trees seen ,in a vision. Away yonder was a field, the thick-ranked corn shading off into yel- low and, over it all the shadow of a cloud floating with broad wings out- spread. ‘From the cabin on the hill yonder came the dull beat of a loom, giving an unutterable sense of com- panionship and homeliness and friendli- ness to the scene. One might even for- get for a time whose cabin that was on the hill; or even if /one remembered, what of that? Three years was a long time. No woman grieved three years. And so reflecting, and so riding blithe- ly on through the free air and the sun- light, whistling a gay tune and smiling in between, it would perhaps shock one more than the recoil of the horse, even, to turn a sharp bend of the road and come suddenly face to face with a woman in black leaning on a rifle, and looking at one with somber eyes. She Meets Him Face to Face. E had never been a coward—had H he?—he could not remember—but there was that in her face that was not good to look upon. Without knowing what he was doing, he dis- mounted from his horse and left the animal to graze, which the horse did, very indifferently. ‘So them lawyers has set ye free, Bill?” she said, leaning composedly on the rifle. He tried to recover himself. “Not the lawyers, Hllen—the jury,” he corrected. ‘‘They said it was a, fair trial. You are too broad-minded to hold a grudge against me, Ellen, after all these years—and after the law has de- clared that I am innocent.” She still leaned upon the rifle, but she was smiling at him now. The smile was dreadful to look upon. ‘I’m glad the law done all ft could for ye,” she said, gently. “Thank you, Ellen,” he cried, reas- sured. ‘There were times when I felt dreadfully depressed, for it did seem for awhile that—well, I didn’t know what was going to happen. But my lawyers have certainly worked hard to bring me through; and now that I know how you look at it”—— ‘"Yes,’’ she said, without moving. ‘"Ye’ve had your chance with the law, an’ it’s freed ye; an’ ye was feelin’ pretty good as ye came up the hill there, wasn’t ye? I heerd ye whistlin’ Then I knowed you had forgot that ye hadn’t reckined with me. Well, here I am.”’ His face was white, all at once, and his hands trembled. “Flien!’’ he cried, crushing down the impulse to turn and run from this grim, impassive woman who had been waiting for him al] these yeers, while his law- yers were moving heaven and earth to set him free. ‘‘Ellen!’’ “You've got through with the law— it’s a pretty easy law, ain’t it?—an’ now it’s my turn. They ain’t so much dif’rence, after all, between dyin’ in a jail with a rope aroun’ yer néck an’ dying’ on the road within a mile of home.”’ He looked abread in one swift glance over the lands he knew, and his face grew ghastly. Then hs kept his eyes on hers. ‘What's the use of talking about dy- ing?’ he asked, jocularly, moving a slow step toward her. ‘‘It will be time enough to talk of dying when the time comes.” A step, a very little step, nearer. ““You ought not to be hard on me, Ellen; you and I were sweethearts, you know, be- fore Joe came along—and even if I had killed him for takipg my sweetheart away from me’’— ‘“‘That’s Over” She Said. / E had calculated his distance nice- H ly, so that he could seize her at the end of that leap; but he had not calculated her. One moment she stood there, a statue in black, leaning on a rifle, calm, composed, looking him in the eyes. The next second the flash and the burst of doom caught him in the face as he sprang. “That’s over,” she said calmly, aloud, to the Thing that lay at her feet. Then she stood the gun against a tree and rolled It over the edge of the hill. When the woman in black went into the cabin. presently, the child still had the stiexs, but he was playing a new game. It was a beautiful game “Stand up there,’’ he said to one of the sticks, and with another stick held to his shoulder, he said “‘Pow!’’ And the stick fell, and he rolled it into a corner. The woman bent over the loom, mend- ing a broken thread in the middle of the cloth. Boom-boom! The loom began its dull heart-beat, weaving a shroud. At the end of the day a man rode up to the door. ‘“T brought ye over a package o’ them seeds for yer fall garden, Ellen,” he said, casually. ‘‘An’ I thought I'd come by an’ let ye know somebody'd killed Bill Fowler down the hill there, by the ol’ pine stump. You was so busy weav- in’ I reckin’ ye never noticed the firin’.” He paused and twisted a knotted hand into his sunburnt beard. “7 was waterin’ my horse down there at the creek, an’ I heerd yer loom goin’ all_the time,” he added, carefully. “¥ou'll find them reddish seeds a mighty good kind.”’ “Pow!” said the child, and another stick fell prone, and was pushed out of sight. The woman took the package of seeds and stoodgin the door, — out at the sunset. ‘y reckin I'll plant tornorrow,” said, softly. “It’s a-cloudih’ up rain.”’ (Copyright: she for Shortstory Pub, Co.) | Who's t¢e best dancer in 8t.
