HOW THEY Played 1T ON

Detroit Free Press
One day last week four or five
Detroiters went into Macomb coun-
lty to shoot squirrels and kick their
shins against logs ard fence rails.
They. had just eaten q cold lunch in
the woods one noon when one Of the
party, q young man named Dough-
erty, stretched out. on his back, pull
ed his hat over his eyes and gave
himself up to the work Of assisting
his body to catch ailittie rest. The
remainder ofthe party having an
understanding before hand, quietly
Withdrew, one by one. One ofthem
passed around to bush near Dough-
erty's feet and took a tin rattle box
from his pocket. Another stood
close to the young mans legs, and,
in suppressed voice, when the sig
nal was given, whispered: sFor
heavens sake, Dougherty, don't
move 60 much as finger. A big
rattlesnake is right under your leg p
Dougherty was fiat on his back,
eyes covered, arms sprawled out,
and his voice trembled as he re-
Piled, "My God (! what shall do n
keep perfectly quiet. Il Is your
only hope ! If you even raise a
finger, he will dart his fangs into
you ~ aBta M
The man with the rattle box gave
it shake, and reached out and laid
club across Dougherty's legs,
while the other man moved off about
twenty feet and exclaimed:
stHeavens! what can we dot If
we shoot we may kill Dougherty !"
The club was rolled off on the
ground and the victim whispered
"For mercy sake kill IT." The
club was rolled over his legs again,
the box shaken, and the man whis-
pered back; "Be quiet or it is in
slant, death. ! think the snake
wants to 60 to SLEEP, and if you viii
keep still you viii be all right
The box was shaken, the club nav,
ed around, and finally tho ssnake"
seemed to Dougherty to settle down
on his breast. He dared not whis-
per for fear Of rousing it, but one Of
the men called out "There it is
asieepl Well move away and wait
for lit to glide off," The whole
crowd moved over behind bank
and laughed and rolled and tore up
the dirt until they were exhausted,
while poor Dougherty lay there
like a log, not even daring 10 draw
an ordinary breath. The sweat ran
down bis face and started out from
his body until his shirt was wringing
wet. The fellows took their guns
and tramped away, leaving him thus,
and were gone an hour and a half.
When they returned Dougherty
was sitting up, having discovered
the joke about FIVE minutes pre-,
viously. lie didn't have a word to
say, but there was a whole una
brldged dictionary in his eye
They spoke to him, but for an ans
wer he rose up, shouldered his gun,
and made bee line for the high-
way, and noae Of the party has seen
him since.

STOP

A certain young man whose name
on account Of modesty, we withhold,
about the time he cast his first vote,
was hating between two opinions
whether TO go TO Savannah and OBJ
tain a clerkship or try his luck on
the farm. He wisely decided to
take the farm. This year, without
any help, he has made more corn,
potatoes and rice than he can con-
sumo, and five bales Of cotton now
ready for market. He doesn't owe
a dollar, looks well, lives well, and
is strong enough to throw buffalo.
He has no idea now Of clerking, or
hunting up business on the railroad,
but Intends to farm. If a few huns
dred more of our young men would
DO the same thing, we might laugh
at the hard times. --sHSaesUille Ga

A BIG HAUL OF ALLEGED COUN-
TERFEITERS.

CINCINNATI, May 29-United States
detectives have been in this city ever
since the haul of coupterfeirers in West
Tennessee. Nearly year ago it was as
certained that the counterteits circulates2
were made IN Ohio, and the detectives
did not make themselves known outside
the United States Court officers, not even
to the city police, and their names today
are secret. Having worked up tie case
thoroughly, they commenced last mid
night making arrests. George Stofel-
kamp, keeper of g !grocery, was first t.
ken, and word got out that he was kid
Mapped. The metropolitans made a Wig
orous search for the kidnappers. Ar
rests followed rapidly until ten persons
were in custody in the Office of the Uni
ted States Marshal. Their names are
Jennie Twitchell, Jacob Devato, William
Gordon, Johns Mills, James T. Earle, John
Krutzmier, B. Stilla, Mary Brown, Will
liam Beckley. The cases were continued
till next week. and ell The parties except
Stoffelkamp, who gave bail, were put in
the County Jail. The exact amount and
nature of the evidence in possession OF
the detectives has not been publicly de-
veloped.

evidence to be gone into on both sides as
to question OF fact tending to show wheth-

from the jury, and ordered a verdict
to be entered up, upon bis own decision.

gued or submitted to the jury.'or the jury
TO pass upon 1t. After reciting a long ar
ray OF precedents to show that Judge
Hunt was in error, and arguing to the
same effect on constitutional grounds, the
report concludes:
"Therefore, because the fine has been
imposed by court of the United States.
for an offense triable by jury, without the
same being submitted to Jury, and be-
cause the court assumed to itself the RIGHT
to enter verdict without submitting the

each worth Sl400. The value OF the material
Is said to be about $4,000. The officers Of

Oxygen was discovered by Joseph
Prlestley, LII. D., Il great philosopher
and thcologian. He is better known
from his discussions of theological sub
jects. He revived and championed
Socinianiam, or the doctrine that Jesus
Christ was simply a nau. Many hard
fought battle did he have with Trintarian
dlvines. The Un!tarlan denomination of
today is really as much indebted to
Priestley as the Presbyterian sect is to
Calvin. HIS career began in England
and closed IN America. 1t was in Eng
land that his laboratory studies disclosed
to his acute vision the life supporting
property OF matter called oxygen, and
which has proved, and still more is pro-
wing. the key to- unlock the mysteries
which envelope US. He came to this
country in 1894, being then 81 years of
of age. His strength of mind was una
bated. For ten years he preached, ex-
permented and wrote, dying in 1904 at
Northumberland, Penn, where he seslded
during the entiTe period of his Americas
life. No one bad any conception of the
Importance of bis chemical discovery :.

AN ABSENT-MINDED MINISTER,

A funny mistake occurred the other
day, through the forgetfulness of dis
tingulshed clergyman of this city. The
cards were out for wedding to take
place at his church. The day;the hour, the
bridal party; arrived the church was
full Of guests, but the officiating Clergy
msn was nowhere to be seen. The inn
patient bride and groom waited for half
an hour the bride began Co feel super
stitious dread of she knew not what
the groom, strong-minded, only felt an
noYance. What was to be done Pa
thence had ceased to be virtue. At last
clergyman Of another denomination,
who was sitting among the guests, was
observed. He was sent for, and kindly
consented to perform the ceremony. The
knot was tied TO the satisfaction of all
parties, and the fee handed over to the
minister who had proved such Denelact-
or. The money, however, he cent to the
clergyman who was to hare performed
the ceremsny. with note "This is an
egg found in ycnr most. As didn't
eackle-ate upon 1t. Isend it back to YOU"
The reason OF the absence of the engaged
Clergyman was 9 very slnple one-he
had forgotten all about the appointment.
