his work single landed He used to
work in livery stable in Tucson. He
was a you g fellow who did not saw
much, but was all the time practicing with
his revolver, when he was not at wo K. He
was the most active, powerful young man
ever saw. he got 50 ne could turn a somer-
sault with his pistol in his hand, aud as he
came up hit a half dollar every time TWEEN

POSITION, whether sta ding, running or rid

long till we heard Of his rob ing stages oil

seem t. ba afraid Of anybody or anything.
The greatest efforts were made
to capture bin, but he eluded all
of his pur'uers. He seemed to be

A VENEER BILE TREE.
The Quinnepiac Oak Which was Sup
posed to Be 1000 Years Old.

The Quinnepiac Oak Which was Sup
posed to Be 1000 Years Old.
From Harpers Weekly.
One Of the most celebrated oaks in the
state noted for its historic trees has fallen a
victim to the vandal's ak at Woodbridge,
Conn. The Quiunepiac oak, as it was known,
was considered by Prof. Daniel C. Eatol,
the Yale College botanist, to be the oldest
tree on the Atlantic coast. He placed it's
aga at from 1900 to 1000 years, while
Oliver Wendell Holmes and Prof Abbott
Of Hew York respectively pronounced it
1890 and 1000 years old. The circum-
ference of the tree was over 27 feet, and the
diameter of the space covered by its
branches % feet. 1t stood on the hill Of
Woodbridge, and could be seen for miles
around.
From its branches the regicides COTE,
Whalley and Dixwell kept a lookout upon
their pursuers. A tHig from it made the
whip with which Humphrey Norton was
punished for harboring a Quaker, Gen.
Lafayette and other officers of Washing
tons army once rested under its spreading
shade while on the march, and visit to
the tree by Woodwork is said to have
inspired the poem the Old Oaken Bucket
Twice within the last half century the oak
was ransomed fr IN destruction by the paw
ment of money to its owners, and in 1882
ex-Gov. English offered $500 for the tree
aud the land on which it stood, intending
to inclose it with an iron fence, but $500
was demanded a d the matter was dropped.
The wood of the oak has now been pur-
chased by prominent men, and will be pre-
served in the shape Of chairs and other use

An Ugly Cold Wave Sweeping Down
from Blizzardland - The Signal
Bureau Predicts a Temperature of
25o for Tomorrow Morning-Florida
to Get a Taste of the Cold Snap
Low Temperatures All over the
| Country.
The coolest weather Of the season will
visit this section during might or to-mor-
row morning. At II o'clock last night
Signal Observer wright received the follow
ing cautionary telegram:
WAsHINGroN Feb. %, 10 p. NJ
Signal Obseyrer, Savannah, "a;
Hoist cold wave signal. The temperature
Will fall to about 80 by soclock Sunday morn
ing. Feb a. GREELY
Observer Wright said last night: This
is almost the biggest cold wave ! have ever
seen, as it will affect 50 much Of the country.
The barometer is high everywhere and it is
about an inch above the average in the
north west II is the coolest weather that
has visited the upper and lower lake regions
and the Missouri and upper Mississippi
valleys this winter"
How cold do you think it will be here"
the o server was asked
II would not be surprised to see the tenn
replied. "lt will certainly be the coolest
weather Savannah has EXPERIENCED this
winter. IL will be very cold Sunday morn
ing and all day Sunday aud Monday"
"How far south will the cold wave ex-
tend q
ut will reach the freezing point south OF
jackson Vile, but how far / cannot say"
1t would appear, however, from the
weather reports that came in last night that
a cold wave of such intensity as is moving
southeastery in this direction must inevita-
bly, affect no small area Of the orange belt
of Flotid There was very little difference
in the temperature Of Savannah and Jack
sonville last night, only z and but
4 difference between the tempera-
ture at Savanna and Titusville. A fall
of 25' at Titusvie would, therefore,
bring the mercury q below the freezing
point in the very heart Of the orange belt.
1t is probable that tho cold wave moving
over that warmer latitude will prevent as
great fall in the temperature there, but IL
only wants a fall Of l6' to reach the freez-
ing point, and colder weather predicted for
to-day in advance Of the cold wave.
At o'clock last night the mercury was
falling throughout the country, aud was
26' below zero at St. Vincent l6' below at
Duluth and st. Paul, IA below at Mar
quette, Mich, l2' below at BsmarK, 10
below at Yankton, s below at Fort Blu
ford, at Chicago g below zero, down to zero
at Omaha, and only ~ above at st. Louis.
At Buffalo, N. Y, it was only l2' above
and 100 above at Cleveland. BY tonight a
much lower temperature is expected
throughout the country.
The minimum here yesterday was at s
o'clock IN the morning, the Thermometer at
the signal Office registering 3l.2', and at s
o'clock last night the temperature was A
and falling slowly, with cold winds veering
from northwest to northerly.
The indications for q orgia to-day are
for fair and colder weather with northerly
winds

A MOTHER WHO sPANKs.
She Thinks that the Slipper or the Hair
Brush Should be Freely Used.
Letter in Ne,o York sun.

Letter in Nei0 York sun.
Among many things in your paper l read
the article headed 'fo Spank or Not to
Spank Although l was amused by it, |
must take the affirmative of the question
and if more mothers held the same view
that do we should not see so many saucy
and bad children a. we do on every hand.
Pert and forward boys and girls are an an
noyance to all around them and a disgrace
and sorrow to their parents have brought
up four in all-not different from the gen
eral run, | presume-both boys and girls,
healthy and full of life and mischief
and little of the "Old ADAM"
with which we ara all supp sed to
be endowed. have found that
they needed training just as much as they
did education; have tried seclusion, re-
monstrance, rewards and cOaxing, particu
larry with Number One, but have found
that nothing vas so good or effective as a
good and timely spanking, well applied &C
coroing to Webster, up to five years old,
with the hand, a I'd after that with slipper
or hair brush. | b I'VE seen a child as will
full and peevish as possible changed in three
minutes by this process into a loving and
lovable one. Have tried an hour rocking
and story telling until both she and / were
tired out, and then put my youngest girl to
sleep in five minutes by rolling her over
and giving her mild spanking, ju 1
enough TO get up counter irri-
tant and divert her thought If
children are brought up this way, and learn
obedience young, they will rarely need any
punishment after six or seven years; and
would advise any mother of young children
Ell her gils or boys, who is trying any
new way of bringi & up children, and.find
them provoking, to surprise them by a
sound spanking or two, and will guarantee
its efficacy. l really enjoy benefiting a
nice plump youngster by giving il good
spanking when needed, and nave no
sympathy with namby-pamby sentiment
that cries hands off. l know | received
many spankings myself in my younger days
as well as some switching, and l now know
1t was good for me.
