duties.
Ohio State Journal: The United
States is rated as the wealthiest na?

isn't through yet.
Pittsburg Gazette-Times: Mr.
Roosevelt promises to return from
Africa with the hide of a rhinoceros.
Some Congressmen think he has
one already.
Harrisonburg News: Dr. Wiley
has about reached the end of his
tether. He has made an assault
upon pink, circus lemonade. His
downfall may now be expected at
any time.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: It is
said that every third Minnesota
girl is a bread winner. It is hoped
/ that the other two girls are bread
makers. Minnesota certainly has
the flour.
Harrisonburg News: A man in
Missouri walked 145 miles to pay
84.90 conscience money. What
would become of a man like that if
he were fined $29,000,000?
New York Press: Thc reward
anybody receives for early rising is
having the rest of the family find
fault with him for not getting the
house warmer while they were still
in bed.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch: The
new two-cent postage stamp gives
a. side view of George Washington
and the strawberry blossom has
been taken from the end of his nose.

ESCAPED FROM JAIL
Three prisoners, Sam Collins, JW I
Herold and Isaac Myers, made.;
their escape from jail last Wedne?.
day evening shout half pa^t six
.?'clock. The two former were
awaiting transportation to the state
penitentiary. For thc last few
days, prior to thc escape of the
prisoners, Collins feigned sickness
and attention was diverted from
the other prisoners to him. While
Collins wy supposed to be near
death's door, Herold and Myers
were cutting their way through thc
ceiling of the jail. Once getting
through the hole in the ceiling one
of the prisoners made short work
of prying off a large section of the
slat'1 roof of the jail. The three
then went out on the roof taking a
blanket with them. Hy means of
i the blanket they were able to
swing down to the bars of the win?
dow below, A drop of a few feet
and they gained the ground and
j freedom. A matter of a couple of
; hundred yards put them in tho
; woods, and although dilligent
search has been made they have
i not yet been captured.
Kd Herold is but a mere boy.
He was found guilty of having
forged a check of $25 and was
under sentence of two years in the
penitentiary. Collins lives at the
foot of Brown's Mountain, two
i miles above Huntersvile. He is
5X years of age and has a large
j family. He was convicted of steal
i ing sheep from a drove passing by
! his place and was sentenced to
! four years in the penitentiary.
| After stealing the sheep he offered
them for sale to different persons.
He comes originally from Pulaski
'county, Ya., and has been in this
'county about 25 years. It is said
that he was in the penitentiary in
; Virginia before coming to this coun?
ty. Myres was serving a year's
; jail sentence for carrying a pistol. -

THE AMERICAN ATHLETE.
The American nation ranks first
in athletics, as shown in the last
Olympiad in London. The horse?
back ride of 91 miles through
a driving snow-storm by the Pres?
ident was a wonderful feat of en?
durance, and is only another proof
our of athletes. Human beings in the
days past and to-day are compared
to machines. There is no one
questions, the logic of the compar?
ison, for the body is equipped with
all sorts of levers, pulleys, cordage,
pumps and valves, which require a
master mechanic to manage. Mike
Murphy, the famous Penn trainer,
undeitakes this. He will write all
about his wonderful work of brain
and recreation in a series of articles
to be published exclusively in the
Sunday edition of The Philadelphia
Press. Order your copy at once

Henry C. Stuart, of Russell coun?
ty, on Monday announced his re?
tirement from the race for the of?
fice of governor of Virginia. The
announcement was taken as a sur?
prise, for Mr. Stuart is known as
one of the most popular men in Hie
state. His action was forced by
the condition of the health of his
wife, who is now in Paris, where
she has been undergoing medical
treatment for sometime. He re?
turned to the city only a day or
two ago and received advices from
Pa. is which demanded his presence
at the bedside of of his wife, and
he will leave at once for Europe.
Chilhowie, Smythe county, Vir?
ginia, a village of about 700, was
visited Friday night by a fire which
destroyed 17 business houses. The
fire started in the National Bank
and was of incendiary origin. The
metal safe has not sufficiently cool?
ed to permit an investigation and it
cannot be learned as yet whether
the securities were taken from it or
not. One arrest has been made in
connection with the case.
Though the government and pri?
vate railways of Japan carried 126,
000,000 passengers last year, the
deaths from accidents numbered
only 10 and the injuries only 333,
or 15 in 100,000 deaths and' 25 in
10,000,000 accidents. Not a single
fatality occurred on the government
lines, ' though 47.500.000 people
were carried.
In a five to four decision handed
clown by the Supreme Court Mon?
day the position was taken that
an individual or an association of
individuals cannot be made to pay
for credit received, if the creditor

law.

The formation of the convention

Bee Economics.
The organization of bee life ls a fas?
cinating study. The workers in a bee
hive may be divided, says the Univer?
sity Correspondent, Into (1) harvesters,
who bring in honey and pollen from
flowers, wax from buds of pines and
poplars, water to mix with pollen and
honey to make the pasty food for the
larvae; (2) scavengers, who in early
morning carry out debris, Including
dead, sick or injured workers; (8) ven?
tilators, who stand erect and keep
their wings in continual movement In
order to ventilate the hive; (-1) guards,
who defend the hive from wasps, rob?
ber bee* and other enemies.

Homemade Barometer.
Those who love experimentation may
try the following method of makins ?>
cheap barometer practiced In France:
Take eight grams of pulverised cam?
phor, four grams of pulverized nitrate
of potassium, two grams of pulverized
nitrate of ammonia and dissolve in six- ;
ty grams of alcohol. Put tho whole in
? long, slender bottle closed at the top ;
with a piece of bladder containing a ;
pinhole to admit the air. When rain '
ls coming the solid particles will tend i
gradually to mount, little star crystals :
forming in the liquid, which otherwise
remains clear. If high winds are ap- i
proacblng the liquid will become thick, !
as If fermenting, while a film of solid
particles forms on the surface. During
fair weather the liquid will remain
clear and the solid particles will rest
nt the bottom.
A PERILOUS_ FEAT.
Caping ? Savage Hippopotamus In tlie
London Zoo.
Many more little dramas aio enact?
ed at the sioo than the outside public
wots of, bays the Loudon Standard.
Behind the lion house there ll a black
leopardess which is Implacably sav?
age and tries to eat her keeper. lier
neighbor is a great ramping leopard
which a lady reared in India. Ile
comes out to play when the British
public ls represented by only I liv?
eried zoo man. Sometimes the ani?
mals get out without the consent of
their keepers. One which did so waa
Oba8h, the hippopotamus. He proved
I savage indeed when the attempt was
made to deprive him of his liberty.
Happily the gardens were closed at
thc time. Try aa they would, the
keepers could not entice or coerce
Hie monster in thc direction ot his
den. At last the superintendent called
np an assistant whom the hippopota?
mus hated. The chief put a bank note
Into thc man's hand. "Scott," bo said,
"throw open the paddock gate, show
yourself to Obash, then run for lt."
Scott did. The animal went for him,
raging along the path and after him
into che paddock. Scott climbed the
railings Just In time, and the hippo?
potamus on turning found the gate
secured behind lt. Presently a press
representative arrived to Investigate
the story, which had somehow be?
come known. "Hippopotamus escap?
ed? Oh, dear no! Come and see him
in his den," he was answered as they
led him to where the monster was re
caged.
A CHILD'S HEROISM.
The S-tory of a Visit to the Beautiful
Glasnevin Cemetery.
A pathetic story of a child's heroism
is told by a Dublin gentleman.' Re?
cently he proposed to drive with his
wife to the beautiful Glasnevin ceme?
tery. Calling his son, a bright little
hoy. some four years old, he told him
to get ready to accompany them. The
child's countenance fell, and the fa?
ther said:
"Don't you want to go, Willie?"
The little Hp quivered, but the child
answered, "Yes, papa, if you wish."
The child was strangely silent during
the drive, and when the carriage drove
up to the entrance he clung to his
mother's side and looked up in her
face with pathetic wistfulness.
The party alighted and walked
among the graves and along the tree
shadowed avenues, looking at tbe in?
scriptions on the last resting places of
the dwellers in the beautiful city of
the dead. After an hour or so thus
spent they returned to the carriage.
and the father lifted his little son to
his seat The child looked surprised,
drew a breath of relief and asked:'
"Why, am I going back with yon?"
"Of course you are. Why not?"
"I thought when they took little
boys to the cemetery they left them
there," said the child.
Many a man does not show the hero?
ism In the face of death that this child
evinced in what to him had evidently
been a summons to leave the world.?
London Telegraph.
His Mean Trick.
"There certainly are differences in
feelings," said the woman who some?
times philosophizes, "or at least differ?
ent ways of expressing them.
"A few day*3 ago a shocking Incident
occurred in the apartment house where
I live. The janitor, who was an un?
usually good looking man. about thir?
ty-five years old, killed himself for
some wholly Inadequate reason, some
difference with his employer. Of
course everybody in the house was
much upset by the tragedy, and I, wita
other tenants, went down to the base?
ment to see his wife and offer aid.
"Tho wife, however, seemed more re?
sentful than grief stricken.
" 'Would you ever think such a fine
man would do such a mean trick!' she
exclaimed."?New York Press.
Legend of Moses.
The story of the cause of Moses'
slowness of speech is given In the Tal?
mud and runs as follows: Pharaoh was
one day sitting on his throne with
Moses on his lap when the child took
off the king's crown and put it on his
own head. The "Aviso men" tried tu
persuade the king that this was trea?
son, for which the child ought to be
put to death, but Jethro replied: "lt Is
the act of a child who knows no bet?
ter. Let two plates be set before him
one containing gold and the other red
hot coals, and you will find lie .will pre?
fer the latter to the former." The ex?
periment being made, the child snatch?
ed up ono of the live coals, put lt into
Its mouth and burned its tongue so se?
verely that lt was ever after "heavy
and slow of speech."?New York Amer?
ican.
