years, the boy said.
"My father would never give any
money to my mother," he said. "She
' has worked for M. E. Smith & Co.
tor the last 12 years. The only way
she could ever get money from him
was by taking it from his pocket
, early in the morning. ' Four times
she has been sick in bed because of
. ., trouble with him.
"A week ago he went away. He
came back early Sunday morning.
V, My mother was in bed at the time.
v I was upstairs asleep and woke up
when I heard the first shot fired."
The boy's mother docs not speak
English well, and he interpreted her
, .story to the police. She said that the
.,. screen door was bolted when her
husband came home. She asked him
to go away and come back later,
hut instead he broke in the door.
When he got inside he grabbed a
knife from a drawer and threatened
to stab her. she said. She had a
revolver in her hand and she fired
three times. Two of the bullets en
tered his chest on the right side and
, . the other entered his stomach. He
..j died a few minutes later.

By International Men.
Paris, Aug. 29. A. well-dressed
woman appeared with a nervous; air
nt the police station near the St.
Lazare railway station and said she
wished to-see an inspector.
"What do you want with him?"
she was asked. The woman replied:
"Well, you see, I have just killed my
lover and I think I ought to be ar
rested." The woman said her lover's
body was at her flat in the Rtre Con
stantinople. . , .
The inspectors went there and
found a luxuriously furnished dining
room, where they saw the body of a
man stretched across the table with
his fists clenched. The woman said
ner name was l.eonie Oliveraud. and
she was aged 32. She had loiig been
known in Parisian bars as Ghita
Mezucl.
Some time ago she made the ac
quaintance of Max Moreau. a mar
ried man and a motor car dealer.
He lived in the country, but often
came to Parts. Ghita Mezuel had a
certain amount of money of her own,
and about a year ago opened an es
tablishment called the Ritz bar, only
a stone's throw from the Cafe de
Paris, well known to most British
and American visitors.
The bar did well, but Ghita alleges
that Moreau treated her badly. He
was always asking her for money
and beating her severely, whether
she gave him money or not. The bar
was to have closed this month. On
the last night it wa open Moreau
appeared and created a scene. The
woman 'was too afraid to go (home
and stayed with her sister. The next
morning her lover appeared at the
flat and said he would Be good in
the future, but he wanted $40,000
with which to go to Deauville.
, "I saw my whole lite ruined."
said Ghita to the inspector. "This
man would be always thrashing me,
but, 'although I loved him, I de
termined to do away with him, so I
said: 'Get my writing things, dear
est; I will go and get my check
book.' I went into my bedroom,
got both my Brownings and came
cut with one in each'1 hand. He was
seated with his back to me and I
shot him. KHe slipped across the
table murmuring 'Ghita! Ghita!' and
died. Please arrest me."
HIGH FREIGHT
RATES REVIVE
WATERWAY TALK
Iowa M,an Advocates St. Law
rence Waterway ancf Use
Of Missouri River
For Freight.
The talk of reviving the use
of the Missouri and Mississippi
rivers, for waterway transportation
has again become a general topic
since the raise in . railroad .freight
rates and new impetus is -being given
to the proposition of developing the
river routes to the gulf of Mexico,
according to A. J. Koch of Key
stone,' la., who was a visitor at the
stockyards Saturday.
Mr. Koch said the Mississippi
river was now carrying a mere frac
tion, of the freight that it should if
the movement to encourage traffic
was given proper attention. He said
there were a few passengertras
running . from Minneapolis to St.
Louis on regular schedule and only
a small number of freighters which
are kept busy with more merchan
dise than they can haul. '
"The lack of waterway compe
tition is costing shippers millions of
dollars each year," -said. Mr. Koch,
"and the recent boost in freight
rates by tlie railroads, I think, will
make -manufacturers and other ship
pers wake up to the advantage of
river transportation. I understand a
cnnal is being cut through from the
Chicago and Illinois ' rivers to the
Mississippi and when it is com
pleted boats may enter the mouth of
the St. Lawrence river, pass through
the Grdat lakes, take on or discharge
freight at Chicago and go on down
the river with big cargoes to New
Orleans an deven into the gulf of
Mexico and to Galveston." '

tLEN have all kind4 of reasons for liking

tfiey're mighty clasr4o6king that brown'and'
silver package is an eye'winner. Some like them
because the'paper is crimped -no paste to taste. -Some
like them;ecause they're a fuU'packed ,i;
cigarette nothing "skinnyabout them. Some
like Spurs because they're twenty for twenty
cents the rock'bottom price for the highest
possible quality. . j ,
' But what they all shout about and pass along
is that they have founofat last a cigarette with
that good old tobacco taste that' lingers in the
memory. .
Yes, sir,you.can "sure taste the good Oriental '
and homegrown tobaccos and that's the big
idea back of Spur Cigarettes. , j v
Now, folks, just don't wait, but try a package
of Spur Cigarettes today. It's not as though you
' were buying a limousine. And if you do find in
Spur the cigarette you -have been wanting -something
that just strikes the .spot it will be
the best buy you've made since Hector was a pup.
