The clipping handed in to us con- tains no date. The next chapter deals with the arrival of the city police, as High Constable Pembroke was not in the city. Chief Foster and his men went out to bring the man in and put him where he could do no harm. As they approached the place they must have i been observed, for when the policei rapped on the door the man inside‘ had it locked and immediately start-1 ed to nail it. The officers made short work of bursting the door in, and then they grappled with the man. He put up a stiff fight and before he had the hatchet and knives taken from him he managed to inflict a nasty gash in P. C. Wilson’s left arm below the elbow- He was taken to the city lockup and confined there for sev- eral hours before being taken to the jail. In the lockup he was given some tobacco by a constable and when he was being taken to the jail he submitted very quietly to the constable who had given him the tobacco. ing a hatchet or small hand-axe and" butcher knife. The wife fled to neighbors and friends. Later a group of neighbors went to the house. but when they came near they too were chased.

WOULD TA E GOOD MUSIC ’ 0 ALL SMALL TOWNS Ed Howe, ‘The Sage of Potato Hill,’ novelist, former editor of the Atchi- son (Kansas) Globe and now‘ doubly famous author of “Ed Howe’s Month- ly, a Journal devoted to Indignation and Information,” has added his name to that of the very large num- ber who have written in to advise a wealthy man how to spend his ‘,money for the good of humanity. “For heaven’s sake,” says Mr. Howe, “get your man to endow a band of forty men to give Free con- certs over the country; under a tent, and always in the smaller towns, where good music is never heard. If a chorus of twenty voices could be added, and the program well select- ed, such an organization would'do more good than all the preachers combined. “Let the people hear good music and they will supply the words; good music never preached a bad ser- mon. ' “Country people never hear good music; many of them think they do not, like it, never haying heard any. . . For several years as editor of the Atchison Globe, I employed big professional bands to give free concerts in a park. I have thus at- tracted audiences of 10,000 or 12,000 and the attention given the music made a deep impression on me. “Sorrentino, of the Red Band of Italy; has played for me many times with sixty men. He told me once that. one 'of these concerts was the musical event of his life, the crowd was so large; so appreciative, so Well-behaved.

Members of ‘both sides were.evidently im- pressed by this consideration, for they applauded vigorously when Miss 'McPh-ail rose and when she re- sumed her seat. Miss McPhail made her first' plunge into parliamentaryl debate when the estimates for thel Department of Soldiers’ Civil lie-l establishment were before the comâ€"J mittee of supply.

OBITUARY JAMES HOOPER JOSEPH MOORE The remains were‘ brought herefi Monday night and in the meantime» his veteran soldier comrades made‘ arrangements for a military funeral} to the Durham cemetery on Wednes- day afternoon. Instead or having the “service at the house as originally intended, arrangements were made. to take the remains to the Baptist Church, where an appropriate ser- mon was preached by Rev. Mr. Mcâ€" Ewen, who spoke» very feelingly of the deceased as a brave and honorâ€" able SOIdie-r, and from an intimate personal acquaintance he knew him .to be a true Christian character. Six soldier pan-bearers accom- panied the remains from the home to the church, on approaching which they passed through two lines of uniformed veterans, about fifty or sixty in all. At the close of the serâ€" vice, under an armed military es-‘ cert in charge of Sergt. J. L. Stedâ€" man, the remains were conducted to the Durham cemetery, the hearse being followed by the uniformed veterans under command of Lieut. D. M. Saunders. At the grave the committal prayer was said by Rev. Mr. McEwen, and additional prayers by Rev. F. G. Hardy, after which the firing party discharged three volleys over the grave, followed by the sol- emn sounding of “The Last Post,” by Bugler F. Bunce. During the service in the church, Rev. F. G. Hardy, as Chaplain for the Great War Veterans, expressed their sympathy to the bereaved parents, the sorrowling young widow and other relatives. He also read as a lesson I. Corinthians: xv, and Rev.
