Just burst into the realm of prose writing ripht and left But hearken to the story itself LOVE OR COUNTRY The church bells were solemnly ringing with their usual melancholy sound and sending their echoes far and wide throughout the village Here and there a poor peasant could be seen attired in his best Sunday clothes walking at a brisk step toward church Although the day was rainy and dismal that was no preventive to those religious ajid kind hearted peofe Everybody rich and poor old and young went to hear the voice of the Almighty As soon as mass began all knelt down in reverence and prayed fervently The priest was fat and bald headed with long black whiskers and said his Latin without being understood Now and then a fly would perch itself on his hairless head trying in vain to find some food there and make that long lost hair grow again The sermon was lonsr and tedious It began with the salvation of Noah and his family to the interpretation of Pharaohs dream When mass was over the rain had ceased and the sun once more with all Its splendor shone on houses and trees while The old man weak from staying up at night pointed his thin finger toward the bed where his sick wife lay dying The church bells once more began to ring but were followed by a summons to arms A messenger with his horse at full gallop was notifying one and all of the coming danger In two hours the village would undoubtedly fall in possession of the foe With one last farewell Gustavo kissed llrs Mazzlnis cheeks but uttered a cry of horror she was cold and dead Like a lunatic he rushed out of the house dealing blows to right and left killing 20 cf his antagonists until finally he was overpowered by the enemy When he was led to jail in chains he committed suicide rather than be imprisoned for life while most of his devoted countrymen were buried alive arid tortured in every possible way by the barbarous conquerors One man only escaped amid the confusion of the slaughter Mr Mazzlni Gustavos

brightened and her thin pale hands trembled with emotion as she extended them to him How do you feel mother asked Gustavo while tears flowed down his rosy cheeks Mrs Mazzini answered him almost In whispers with a choking voice My son I think I am better After a while she was sleeping quietly and Gustavo asked his father permission to go and see Gen Caratuzzi Finally Mr Mazzini consented and the youth went hurriedly out of the door The general received him kindly My mother is extremely ill in bed said Gustavo but I think she will be better tomorrow I come here to offer you my services as an humble volunteer for my dear beloved country Many of my friends are already on the battle field fighting for our cause and willing to die In its defence I on the contrary am here like a coward who fears death ami hdes while his courageous countrymen i are shedding their blood No my dear I Fu i iiiclc ia uj ului aiLciuauve leu I must go this very afternoon to the scene of the conflict I know that my adored mother is seriously HL I know that an incurable disease has taken hold of her but it is God the Almighty creator of everything that decides when the sad hour Is to arrive Either for th sake of beloved mother who has gladdened my heart with her caresses while a child or for my country that is on the verge of ruin I must make upmy mind whether or not to go As eoon as Gustavo had ceased to cry the general in a calm voice said Brave youth I well know the love you bear for your mother I myself had one whom I loved devotedly but the good woman no longer exists You say she is sick with an incurable illness but at the same time your native country where you have epent your infancy anil i childhood is gradually falling in the hands of the enemy Now for lore or country you must sacrifice everything As soon as the general remained silent Gustavo enlisted as a volunteer and went straight to his house At the door of his home he met sev eral physicians who were evidently in consultation but he did not stop until ht reached his mothers bedroom He qptn ed the dpor and entered Sitting by the sick lady was Mr Mazzini the glow of the hearth reflected on the pale visage of the old man as he sat absorbed in thought Gustavo went to his mothers bedside and kissed her bloodless lips Just at that moment Mrs Mazzlni turjisd around and saw her sop He spoketo her with the tenderness of a child but she did not answer him only gazed fixedly with maternal affection Mother he said please epeak to irte once more but the power of speech bad vanished and when she attempted to utter a word her breathing1 became tbjclf and fast nearly choking her Then Gustavo called his father to the quiet room and said in a trembling tone leather is my duty to go and fight Changes Are in the Direction of Greater Simplicity in the Interest of the Shipping Public A new uniform bill of lading designed as a substitute for the bills now in use for the movement of miscellaneous freight and general merchandise was approved yesterday and its adoption recommended to the common carriers of the country and the shipping public by the interstate commerce commission It provides two forms printed on the face side in different colors one for straight and one for order consignments The order bill will possess a certain degree of negotiability while the straight bill will be nonnegotlable The order bill must be surrendered upon delivery of the property to the con signee This plan is expected to largely meet the requirements of the banking concerns of the cotfntry which advance vast sums of money upqn bills of lading jie changes have all been in the direction of greater simplicity in the interest of the shipping public The bill is more or less a compromise It ImposesImposes Important obligations which carriers have not heretofore assumed but retains exemptions to which some shippers may object It Is understood that the new bill will be adopted by all the railroads in the official classification territory The com mission recommenos tnat the new bHl be adopted generally on September 1 next The bill is not Intended to take the place of bills now in use in connection with certain particular commodities such as live stock and perhaps perishable property Special to The Washington Post New York July 11 Persons in the flf teen a week class will be interested in learning that Stuyvesant Fish former president of the Illinois Central Railroad says this In my opinion It is really harder for persons who have had an incomeOf say 250000 a year to come down to live on a 50000 a year basis than for a man who has been earning 15 a week to accustom himself to living op J10 a week In Mr Fishs opinion the relative suf fering is greater He Is Going Abroad The financier made this statement today to a reporter as he boarded the steamer New York of the American Line with Mrs Fish bound to tour Europe in their automobile until September They haveno fixed itinerary There is no indication of a revival in business went on Mr Fish with an air of gloom I base this observation on conditions as thev exist in Newnort There is little doubt that the burglarsX Wealthy persons there are not paying were experienced men Mr Farrell is a Cash for their customary expenditures of which I use as a saloon Shortly after 4 clock I was awakened by the noise made by my wife moving around downstairs Dressing myself I went downstaira and found my wife in the kitchen My revolver Aras lying on the kitchen table Turnlmj to me my wife feald Mr White what ard you dolnsr Her magna seemed to me strange but I paid little attention andrwent to the refrigerator to get out something for breakfast As I turned she evidently picked up the revolver frdm the table and fired at me The first bullet whizzed past my head and landed in the wall She fired again and the bullet struck the ceiling Turned Gun on Herself ran Into the dining room slamming the door after me and holding it shut with mj foot I hardly left the room than I heard two shots follow each other in rapid succession Opening the door a crack I looked into the kitchen and saw my wifes body lying on the floor She still held the revolver in her hand and blood was flowing out on the floor from two wounds lnher breast Then I ran out Into the yard and called for help After his arret White said that his wife had been of a very nervous temperament as had several members ot her family He said that one of her relatives was at present confined in Klrk brides asylum White also said that he knew of no reason for his wifes killing herself and her attempts upon his life except that she had for some time appeared Jealous of him and imagined that he was paying attentions to other women He said she was 38 years old Wanted Congratulations light sleeper and declares thit he woui i have been aroused had the burglars made the slightest disturbance below his sleeping quarters Imprints of boots were found under the rear window the tiail leading to the edge of the water wucre marks in the gravel indicated that nJ boat had been dragged upon the Deach It Is surmised that the plunder was taken around the point in a rowboat and transferred to the sloop which cruised oil Belle Haven meanwhile This is the first robbery associated with the mysterious craft in several months Robberies were common last summer along the Connecticut coast and the police of every town watched so closely every suspicious craft that late in August the robberies ceased For six years there have been reports made to the police of the coast towns that burglaries were committed and lives endangered by a coterie of men who operated a swift sailing sloop Look for Pirate Captain At police headquarters several of the cleverest detectives were detailed to locate the boat and its crew It is believed by the police that Henry A Jackson captain of the pirate sloop Doroda who escaped when the Doroda was taken in the harbor at Newport October 23 1903 Is the man who now captains the craft which lately reentered upon its work on Long Island Sound When Jackson deserted the Doroda with his crew and the vessel was fpund to be filled with goods taken from many homes along the sound it was believed that ho had disappeared for good but the Farrell robbery is much like the handiwork of Jackson Following the detention of the Doroda Otto Stelffel a member of the crew was arrested in Providence and made a confession Jackson not only plundered residences along the sound but cruised oft the Rhode Island coast visiting small towns to locate the homes of wealthy persons which he and his crew would rob No trace of Jackson was ever obtained and Stelffel could give no information of value about him but are stretching their credit as far as possible There are many who are unable to una tne needed cash Unemployed Army Will Grow Having stated the outlook as one gets it through the windows of a stone c6t tage at Newport Mr Fish continued VThe railroads this year will show big gross earnings but the net profits will be small this being due to the excessive wages demanded by labor There are signs of splendid crops but the farmers will get most of the profits TJie army1 of the unemployed will grow Rich men who stay in this country will be heavily bled for campdign contributions on the plea that the election of some candidate who can restore normal conditions must be Insured August will be dull In all lines as Is customary in a campaign year and I look for a louder chorus of the hard times cry earn at a sueed

has been received here Am returning with remains of Everett and Wakely which we found near their last camp in the Bayaual mountains At first our guides were apparently afraid to lead us into the mountains of the interior island along the route traveled by the two murdered men Luckily we at length succeeded In securing guides who are acquainted with Ayhao the leader of the murderers and who took us to the last camping place of Everett and Wakely Ayhao It was explained planned the murder while acting as one of the native guides who were conducting the two white men into the interior of the Island While gambling with the other guides he drugged the entire party with the fumes from a plant Ayhao and some followers killed Kverett and Wakely and five guides The only excuse given Jy Ayhao for murdering the party was that he felt like killing some one Lieut Ahearn and his party found the botanical and ether equipment of the two men and also Everetts money AH the villages and

JUDGE Former Assistant Attorney General Sworn In at StPauL St Paul Mlmw July XL Milton Dwight Purdy of Minneapolis former Assistant United States Attorney General was formally sworn In today as Judge or the United States district court to AH the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge William locnreu Judge Furdy was appointed by President Roosevelt to fill the recess term Special Cable to Tho Washington Post Berlin July 11 Dr David Jayne Hill the new American ambassador contributes to a monthly review his opinions of modern diplomacy and the duties of modern diplomats Hitherto he says he foundation on which diplomacy resteo was the doctrine of the absolute sovereignty of states sidoctrine that each state existed for itself alone and the chief task ot the diplomatist was to help strengthen his own state by weakening the other and destroying competition from them In his own country and injure their trade and industry in other countries Now says the ambassador a different view prevails and Just as modern political economists have overthrown false economic dogmas like that in regard to the mercantile system and the supposed advantage of possessing the largest stock of the precious metals so tne modern diplomatist must discard the old diplomacy and Instead of separating nations bring them nearer together instead of sowing dissensions among them introduce order law and Justice Tor their mutual relations The best equipment for him who seeks to do this is a knowledge of history and and as a skillful physician proceeds tu first acquaint himself with the whole physical and phychological history of the patient before prescribing so a skillful diplomatist should first acquaint himself with the history of states before trying to bring Jarring interests of nations into harmony The chief danger today Dr Hill thinks lies in the conflict of commercial Interests the Increase of population the desire to acquire or extend territory and search for new markets and new colonies He suggests a remedy by asking Is it then necessary to acquire polRI cal Influence over territory In order to obtain commercial advantages therefrom and therein The whole article Is dominated by the thought that ail states more and more belong to the real family of nations and the interests and happiness of the whole family are to be considered on the same parallel with the interestsand happiness of individual countries and their peoples GIEL SAVES BABY PBOM DOG She Is Severely Bitten Herself but Keeps Animal From Child New Tork July XL While protecting a baby from abig Newfoundland
