"The BlOOd.Red Knight"
From the London Telegraph. !


Burglary is, however, much less
common crime among the Celtic races
than violence and robbery of the person,
and, despite the multiplicity of agrarian
outrages for which Ireland has always
been famous, it has often been boosted
on the Green Isle that house-robbery is
an English rather than an IRISH otiense.
An attempted burglary, which happened
not far from Doneralie, III the county of
Cork, is indeed, still spoken of, SO that
the story has become histo cal, although
the event occurred nearly seventy years
ago.
On the morning of March IL, 1911, a
gentleman named Purcell was in bed on
the ground floor in a house of which he
WAS the sole occupant. He was an &C.
centric old man, and reputed to be very
wealthy. AS he lay in bed he heard a
noise IN the next room, and through the
open door he saw man jump from the
window-sill into the apartment. The in
trudcr was followed by another, and to-
gether Mr.. Purcell ascertained by lis
teniug acutely that six robbers had got III
to the house. The moon was shining
brightly, and the brave old man, belev-
ing that his life would be forfeited, de-
termined to sell it dearly He concealed
himself in the shade by the side of the
doorway between the bedroom and the
sitting room, and, knife in hand, awaited
the first conner, who fell fatally stabbed
to the heart. A second thief advanced
and thrust his gun in the room. Mr.. Pur-
cell saw that the muzzle was tpointing
at his body, and, AZ the gun was dis
charged, struck its holder dead just be-
low the collar-bone As the third OF the
band crept cautiously across the thresh-
old, Mr.. Purcell discovered TINT his
knife was bent, and calmly Strengthened
the blade between his teeth previous TO
plungiue it into his third victims heart
The rest of the band, daunted by the
intrepid resistance offered to them by a
single old man, retreated by the open
window. and, getting ont of it with all
speed, turned their backs upon house
which already contained three of Their
dead companions. Mr.. Purcell, when
the story WAS told to Mr.. Perceval
then Prime Minister, was hnighteo fol
his bravery, and went ever afterwards
by The name of "the Blood-R Knight.

The Days of Forty.Ninc,

From the Territorial {Ney.) Enterpriao.l
The record If the men of forty. nn,e
teaches that only persistent prosecution
OF one line Of effort can give success
The average wages made by miners in
1919 We're from $50 to $50 per day, and
IN rirh diggings 500 to 5000 per
week. Most of us would now hc satisfied
with this 2l5, 900 to S25, 900 a wear.
But men grew credulous, because there,
were So many unquestionablc marvels,
such us the occasional finding of gold in
nuggets, or lying loose in pockets. Ear
~ III 1850 two nuggets Of gold were
found, weighing about twcpty-threo
pounds each. Others Of not quite such
nm astonishing size were braaght to light
III 1870. Each of such cases set near
" wild the miners who were toihng mt
clam that paid less than at first, and
very soon they began q series Of what
were then known ny rashcs." On
branch of Poor Mans creek, plumns
county, IN 1880, a nugget of gold weigh
ing eighty ounces and worth 81 ,G6i was
found. In half nm hour party took out
-, 900 in gold Al Nnllecita The largest
chunk Of gold was discovered. Itweigh-
ed twanty-six pounds, and WIS valued
nj about $4,000
These PUSHES grew very common, ard
10 year passed withou, one or more of
them Hence these men became living
illustrations of the proverb. Rolling
stones gather no moss They have
many iIritations-not IN mining, but in
practical life; men who filter their lives
away for want of concentration, want Of
persistent effort along some line. Every
beginner in life, therefore, should try
early to ascertain the strong faculty Of
his mind fitting him for some special
pursuit. and then direct his utmost ener
gies to bring 1t Ia perfection. A man,
says Emerson, IS Ike bit Of Labrador
spar, which has no luatre rs you turn i,
IN your hand until YOU como 10 partic-
ular angle; there II shows deep md beau
ttui colors. To succeed in life man
needs the motto OF -. Paul: "This one
thing do. One OF the most frequent
causes OF failure in life il that greediness
which leads men to attempt to grasp too
many OF it's prizes.
There was the Trnckee Lake rush,
gotten up by one Greenwood amongthe
miners of Colomn IN lSt9. He told the
miners that h. had seen gold III album
dance on the shore Of the lake. Hun
dreds rushed thore, Int they found no
colorof gold. There was the Gold Lake
rush. In May, 1850, two miners were
overheard by third telling Of lake
where gold lay loose on the shore like
pebbles. ile guessed the lake to be Gold
Lake, near Downieyille. The story was
whispered about and thousands left good
claims where they were making from $50
to $40 per day and dashed of to that ne
cluded spot, whence they returned in a
few months "dend broke"

Where the Witness Was.
From the Savannah (Ga.l News.


A perplexing answer was given by q
witness during the trial Of the case of the
state against Barrett, in the Superior
Court. Col. Lester, Of counsel for de-
PENDANT. asked the witness if he was
present ut the shooting (Which. rs is
known, occurred ON the pavement In
front Of the Screven house, the day after
the Jasper CenteruiaD, who replied that
he was. Col. Lester, proceeding with
his questions, asked if he was in the hotel
at the time, and again the witness an-
swered, "No, he was not" Then came
the question, Were you outside of the
hotel at the time ?" and again the witness
answered, "No, he was not, At this
stage of the proceedings the venerable
Judge Fleming, adjusting his spectacles,
addressed the witness thus: s. How Is it
possible that you were neither inside nor
outside of the hotel, and yet you say
that you were present at the shooting !?
You surely must have been either inside
or outside Of it-that is certain. The
witness with twinkle in his eye and Il
knowing smile about the corners OF his
mouth, quietly replied You gee,
Judge, | was seated on a four-legged
stool, two legs of which was inside the
door and two legs OF which was resting ON
the pavement, 40 that | was neither in
side the house nor outside of it. The
judge, with sigh of relief, settling him
self back in his chair, said; &c i see how
it was possible now, but / was greatly
puzzled until you explained. Proceed
with your questions, Col. Lester. "

A Prince on Sentry Duty.

In Bavaria quaint custom obtains,
rendering it obligatory every prince
of the reigning house to perform at least
one days active duty as private soldier
in the royal armv On the oath of last
month Prince Alphonso of Bavaria. first
cousin 10 the musical king, completed
his eighteenth year and completed his
rlaiori1y. Greatly 10 the entertainment
Of tn Munich puolic, which crowded
the Marienplatz to contemplate his per-
Torrance, he celebrated mis- birthday by
doing duty as sentry In front OF the prln-
cipal guard-house Of the capital. AL
though he had received his lieutenant r
commission in the morning, be took up
his post as a simple sentinel, duly great
coated and armed with sword bayonet
and rife, which latter he shouldered at
the correct angle AS he marched to and
fro on his beat. or stood at ease be
fore his sentry box, giving the prescribed
salutes III all their subtle nuances TO
every officer that passed by. Being an
uncommonly good-looking youth, he was
gaZed at with admiration and approval
during his " spell on guard by great
numbers of Munich danes and damsels,
who gave uttelance of their feelings by
plaudits when he was relieved from his
post in the usual manner, and marched
off to barracks, rife on shoulder, with the
relief party.
THERE was m exciting man hunt IN
North Carolina, the fugitive being no
cro thief and the hunters a mounted
party provided with lssoodhounds. The
negro had long start. but the dogs fol-
lowed the trail readily, and he was sight
