Such declaration would have been

could he have believed the American
shipmaster in earnest; but, as it was,
he replied simply by some allusion to
Yankee insolence, and repeated his
command to the corporal to bundle us
into the boat.
"a semi-circle of bayonets fairly
pushed us to the gangway, and,
though we turned desperately upon the
sharp steel, it was only to receive

Their Word Good as Gold.

At the April term of the United
States Court at Memphis, Tenn, J..
B. Sanders and j. w. Wood, of Har-
din County, were convicted of illicit
distilling and sentenced to thirty days
Imprisonment. They represented to
the court that the sole dependence of
their families was the little crop they
had at home, and begged leave to re-
turn and work it out Of the grass,
promising to return and take their
medicine at whatever time might be
set. The court released them on their
own recognizance, naming August l
as the day for their return. On that
day, before noon the two men reported
to the United States Marshal and went
cheerfully to jail.
"Why didn't you keep your freedom
when you had it," one of them was
asked.
The mountaineer looked at the ques-
toner steadily for moment and re-
piled: "How could We? Didn't we
give our word as we'd come back? That
settled it,"
