The full story of a carefully planned effort to effect a revolution In British India, hatched, it is said, in California, has been revealed In court proceed ings under the new defense of India act at Lahore. Eighty-one persons are charged with "conspiracy to overthrow by force the lawful government of In dia." The attempt at revolution, according to the witnesses, was launched under German auspices at a meeting of 5,000 or 0,000 East Indians at Sacramento in August, 1914. "It was thought," declared one wit ness who was present at this meeting, "that as a great war had broken out in Europe it was a good chance for East Indians to demand their rights and. if necessary, to use force." The witness was one of a party of seventy Indians who sailed from San Francisco on Aug. 29 for Hongkong en route for India. The Sacramento meeting was one of a number held at various places In America after the failure of the at tempt of Gurdit Singh to obtain the entry of 400 Indian laborers Into Van couver. contrary to law. and their re turn to the east- Following the arrival at Hong Kong 1 i of the party which sailed from San Francisco on Aug. 29.

WILSON CALLS ON BRYAN No Personal Differences Appear to Exist Between Two Men. Washington, June 19. —President Wilson called on William J. Bryan and Mrs. Bryan at Mr. Bryan's home in Calumet place. The president was with his former secretary of state about fifteen minutes. He called tc say goodby to Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, who will leave for their summer home in Asheville, N. C., in a few days. Mr. Bryan issued a statement on the subject of his reported dissatis faction with the treatment he had re ceived from the president while he was head of the state department. It has been suggested that Mr. Bryan was dissatisfied with the disposition of the president to run the affairs ol the state department in his own way and often apparently without consult ing Mr. Bryan to any great extent. Mr. Bryan in his statement says that all this is a mistake; that he was consulted by the president on every .occasion and that these stories, if true, would be as much of a reflection upon the president himself as upon Mr. Bryan. - 15 KILLED BY STORM Reports Come In From Stricken Sec tions of Missouri and Kansas.

Reading History- He who reads history learns to dis tinguish what is local from what is universal, what is transitory from what is eternal; to discriminate be tween exceptions and rules, to trace the operation of disturbing causes, to separate the general principles which are always true and everywhere ap plicable from the accidental circum stances with which in every commu nity they are blended and with which, in an isolated community, they are confounded by the most philosophical mind. Hence it is that in generalization the writers of modern times have far surpassed those- of antiquity.—Macau lay. Africa and North America. Africa lias sixteen inhabitants to the square mile, and North America has only one more per mile. Trademarks. A. trademark is a registration of a word or design attached to goods of a certain trader making it clear to the \ public that they are his manufacture and that nobody but he can use that same trademark. Its use is almost in dispensable in the commercial world, and this can be realized better when one knows what its functions are in respect to the trader and his customers, j In the first place, being a certificate of genuineness, it protects tile public. j Secondly, being an identifying mark, the trader is protected by the law against any competitor who endeavors to trade on another's name or goods. Trademarks were issued as far back as the time of James I.—Loudon Mail. Life Insurance. The earliest record of any life in surance policy bears the date of June 15, 1853. How to Throw the SpitbaN.
