Don't sacrifice your honor. It you : : an't malte people' love you , at least have them respect you. Don't forget that a well written business letter Is brief. It Is also so e1.pllclt that little time Is consumed In reading it. Don't walt for fortuao to smile on you. Fortune doesn't smile all the time. When she does she usually favors - vors those who hustle and not those who walt ; . . . . \ Don't tallt all the time. Give the Dther'man a chance. It he opens his mouth to maltO an objection lct him make it. Ws better out than stlcldng In his mInd. Doq't forget that mirth Is God's medicine. The man who hasn't a hearty 1augh hasn't much s'mpathy with humanity and his chances for success are small , Don't let opportunity 1mock at your door and find ) ' 011 asleep. It she does she will pass on and rou may not have some watchful friend to catch her by the ear and bring her baclt. Don't forget to get acquainted with yourself.

AGENTS OF SULTAN OF TURKEY { BLAMED FOR CRUEL MURDER Macedonian Refugees in Minneapolis , , Slaughtered in Hovel They Called Home. ROBBERY CLEARLY NOT MOTIVE I FOR CRIME . . Fact That Currency and Valuables Were Found with Bodies Proves This-Inter- national o1itics at Bottom , Is Theory of Police Officialse - Mlnneapolls.-Agnln the old saying that "murder will out" bids fair to be disproved. . In - the heart of Minneapolis , busy city of the great Northwest , six ap. parently Inoffe'l1slve men have been cruelly put to death , and all the efforts at men bred to the unraveling ot ghastly m'sterles have been U113.vnll. lng , either to find the murderers or to discover a motive for the crime. The slayers have dlsapeared as com. pletely as If , Indeed , they wore the fabled invlslblo cloalts. Love- Revenge- At the bldcllng of a secret order- Because the Turldsh government wanted them out of the way. These are the various theories termed by the police. And at theories they stop. All that Is positively known Is that six men , mal'ltCd for murder , 110 In their graves In Minneapolis-all six killed by orders of some one while they slept. Motives Apparently Absent. Everything sems to point to poll. tics. It was 110t money , because the mon's money and other valuables were all found Intact. It was not revenge , because the ) ' lmow no one In 1\lInne. apolls. It was not love , because the ) ' had no women , either as wives or sweethearts. In this country. There Is but one explanatlon-they were put out of the way by order of some high polltlcnl power on the other side of the water. This is what th pollee believe. What were the Intrl. cacies abroad no one dares surmise , And dead men tell no tales. The six were found lying quite dead In a ramshackle old wooden house , No 245 South Tenth avenue , l\llnneapolls So little Imown were they thereabout that the pollee had a hard tlmo In find , ing out the namcs of the six. Flnall it was found that two were father and son , Nicole and Klrle Demetrl , anll that tho. other feud were KerstaJJ Yovke , Krlvlo l\Ietle , Nulrola Jales and Andrl Jaless. Dodies Not An Together. ' The lmlves , the blood.stalned hatchet , the splashes of blood every. where , the disorder , the signs of 11 struggle , told the story as plainly m words could tell it.

Not a thln was founel on I\ny of the men to glye absolute proof of their Identities. Even the landlorc. H.

T ' ( ) nleu ato. a pt and lIvtld in the - little roUlS on the upper fioor. They never drank liquor and were appar. ently of the most peaceable disposition. They went out regularly every day and returned with equal promptitude In the evening. Even the } 1eoplo who lived below heard nothing on the night of the mur. der. It was only guessed at because the men didn't appear on the second moritlng after the murder. Some ono notlfiell the landlord and ho summoned the police. They brolte In. Peter Shtyanoff lmew the dead men. Ho was arrested as a suspect at first , but there was nothing to prove against him. In fact , he ave the pollco all the lIttle they do Imow. lIe said the men never had a quarrel In their lives and never carried weapons. Ho said they were all men who had come over here to make their fortunes , amI had no thought of anything else but of maltIng - Ing money and of sending for their loved ones on the other side of the world. Pathetic Sight at Morgue. It was a pitiful sight at the morgue when poor Stuyanoff went there to Identify his dead friends. The sight I of the g\lplng wounds moved hlIXl to , tears. He Imolt before each body and made the sign of the cross as ho breathed a pra'er. Then he arose to his feet amI Idssed ea h dead man on the brow. When ho , finally came to the body of his cousin , I young Yovl\C , ho was completely over. ' come. Great tears rolled down his I \ swarthy cheelts : his big red handlrer. . chief was soon soaked with them. He took the head of the murdered boy In his arms and ldssed the still face l agaIn and again. Then ho left the . room sha1dng with grief. . "They would not hurt a fiy ; would I not hurt a fiy ! " he moaned over and over. Fought Hard for Life. When the house of slaughter was searched a l mp was found burning in the .rear room upstair. A llght had been seen there the night before. It loolted , however , as If the bodies found In the cellar had ben dead longer than the others. This only added to the mystery. Otll bodies were terribly hewed and haclred. In a11 , the six bodies between them bore more than 100 wounds , al. most anyone of them sufficient to ltlll . any ab1e.bodled man. There wore great splashes of hlood all over the walll amI fioors , and It scorned as If thc dead , aroused from their sleep , hal made a desperate fight for life , but II vain.

Thomas Wilson - son , clerk of the Kelley lIarllwaro Coml1nn ' , In Duluth , Identified them as haYing been bought at the store b ) ' a IJarty of sIx foreigners n week before the murder. That these were the six murderers , ona for each of the Intended victims , there can now bo no doubt. Plainly the dead six had been marlted tor vengeance. TheIr trail has been fo1\owOll \ from tar across the scaB to the hhltton fast. ness of the tar Northwest by mon who evidently had sworn to Itlll. They hnd traced theIr quarr ) ' to AlbIon , Minn. , 1tin ) ' town , and from thence to Du. luth. When the sIx came to 1Il1nne- apolls they were hunted still. Had Fled Far to Find Safoty. Actdlng to the m'stery , the vestments - ments of some order , religIous or ae- crot , were fOirnd in the house. What had these to do with the strange deatlts ? Dut most remarlU\blo of all was the plain proof that the six had fled half.way around the world to es. cape t1lelr m'storlous } 1111'suers. , Passports proved this without doubt.

'fho six were slouo' ' cleacl , but there was plenty of evhlenco that every ono hael fought for his lIfo till , wealt from loss of bloOll In the \1n. equal contest , he had fallen at the feet ot his enem ' to recolve his coup.

Their money , their foreign I coins of golcl , several checlts and i mfmoy ardors were all found Intact. They had not been .pursued to be robbed. What was It , then ? There had been no drlnldng bout. Neither wino nor spirits , or empty bottles or glasses were found. There was no love affair , alJparently , at the bottom of It. 'fhe men Imew no woo men In this country. It may have been the vendetta , who 1\11ows1 Dut every. thing to.day poInts to politics. And now comes the story told by the passports , that seems to point to pollt. cal murder. There were two pass. ports found among the holonglngs of the murdered men. Ono was Issued to young Demetrl on January 25 , 1J05. ! This was a passllort from Macodonla , Issued by the ' 1'urldsh govornment. It here the seal of the sultan. Half of the document was In French , the other half In Turldsh. It described him as smooth.shaven , about 33 years of age , medium size , a natlvo oC Macedonia and a subject of His Imperial Majesty the Sultan. The I , otlter IlI\ssports were old and In e. chlpcrablo. Strcl'gthen8 Theory of Polltlcs. And this pointed to the politics of the case. The l\lacedonlan rebelllon toolt place ahout two years ago. The pollco at once accepted this theory and went to worlt on It. But the murderers had covered their tracks too well. ThIs much the pollee bellove : That the victims wore lenders ot the rebellion and flea to this country and that theIr murderers were ngonts of the Turldsh govornment. The Jdea Is that they fied here , well Imowlng they would be followed , but haIling to escape Into the far Northwest , where Ilerhaps they might bo safe. ' 1'hey went West In the guise of railway lu.borers . to es. cape pursuit. Dut those whose appointed taslt waste to ldll were cleverer than they and were always close behind. Though the chase led half way around the world , the Turltlsh agents found their quarry in nn obscure corner of Minneapolis and thC'n went dbllberately about the job of ldlllng. . ' 1'hey bided their lImo. When all six were rounded up together and nsleel' , and when all was quiet and deserted without , they stele Insldo and upslalre to finish the jab for which they had como so far. The dead men were not caught un. tlrely by surtlrlse. There are plenty of signs that tltey strugglell desperately against ovorwhelmlng odds. All t\lo \ . fm'nlture was upset , showing that t hnro was a struggle hofore the men who had been aroused from tholr aleev made their preliminary inqulrcs , tit ( bodies were burled together. A 1Il1nno. apolls mecllcal college attempted to get thorn for Ulssectlon , by right of ri law allowln thorn the bodies of all paup' ers without Idth or Idn , but when th $502 was shown the college had to glv In. The pOllco have worltcd hard , but nothing turned up. They have been to Chicago .and to Duluth , where there are other 1\lacedonlans , hut not a single clew has C011l0 to anything. 1 And now , "Who 1dlled the six ? " seems to bid fair to go down Into hlflo tory as ono of the greatest murdeI mysteries of the century. PERNICIOUS NATIVE HABIT. - - People of Northcrn India JlIuch Given to "Earthing" or Clay Eating.
