Mr.. Brown. At first it was believed he had
been murdered. Then people began to hint
that he was bankrupt and had run away.
Six months passed. The wife believed her
husband dead. She had opened school and
was supporting herself and her children. On
the I'D of July, about o'clock in the after
noon, a man whom Mrs. Brown supposed to
be tramp went TO the rear of her house and
asked for bread from her. She gave him
some and then locked the door in his face
Then she called to neighbor to drive the
tramp away. The supposed tramp mean
while staggered to the barn, where he de-
voured his bread; then he crawled back to
the house. Mrs Brown looked again at him
from the window. This time she recognized
her husband.
Brown had come back, but without his
reason. His clothes were tattered, and on
the back of his head was scar. He was
emaciated, his hair and beard were long and
matted; indeed, he was picture Of misery.
He recognized his wife, but gave no evidence
of being able to bridge the dark gap of the
past half year,

ABOUT FRANK JAMES.
He Has Consumption, but He Is Still a
B-a-ad Man.

B-a-ad Man.
a gentleman who recently returned from
Dallas, Tex, says of Frank James, the broth,
er of the dead outlaw, Jesse:
HE is afflicted with consumption, and it is
only question of time until he dies. The
strain upon him must be something terrible
as he is ever on the alert, not knowing al
what time nor from what direction trouble
may come to him. heard him say once, in
a semi-conidential way, that he trusted nc
man living. i know the world is against
me and 1 am always prepared were his
words.
when introduced he invariably places his
hands in his pantaloons pockets, and simply
bowling acknowledges the introduction by
saying: L am glad to know you, sir
when his hands are showed into these
pockets they grab two ugly looking guns,
continued the gentleman. They are always
in his pants pockets His eyes are small and
piercing. Not long ago he went into a big
saloon in Dallas, owned by Tom Angus, who
has the reputation of being bad man him

Angus tipped off the James gang to the TO
lice. James had one of his bad spells that
day, and, with his hands in his pockets, he
walked up to Angus. Such a scoring never
heard in my life, and all the time Frank
James eyes glittered like cat as he watched
every move of the man. Cincinnati En-

Woman Steamboat Pilot.

America has only one female steamboat
pilot, and she is Mrs. Callie L. French, Gin
cinnati woman, the wife of Capt. A B.
French She is duly licensed as pilot from
Vicksburg to New Orleans and the Atchafa-
Iaya river and its tributaries, being regis.
tered at New Orleans.
Mrs. French was born in Jackson county,
o., is IS years of age, an expert swimmer,
and is a brunette of slender figure. She has
also acted as pilot for twelve years ON the
Mississippi river, so her experience is by no
means limited. Her husband, thorough
waterman, introduced her to the mysteries
of the river, and she has proved an apt pupil.

Fast Horses for Farmers.

In purchasing or hiring plough horse
and see how many minutes it will take
him to walk a mile. A horse that will
walk three miles an hour is worth at
least three times as much as a horse that
walks but two miles. The three-mile
horse not only does as much work in two
days as the two mile horse does in three,
but he enables the man behind the plough
to do so per cent. more work in a day
than he can do behind the two-mile horse
And the man and horse consume with the
slow team so per cent. more ratiOns in
doing the same work thatthe fast-walker
does In twelve months the man would
do on m re carting and ploughing with
the slow horse than he would do in eight
months with the fast walker.
Suppose farmer hire a man and a
tWo-mile horse to do an amount ofplOugh-
ing and carting that it takes three months
to perform, and pays $3 month for the
horse, $3 for his feed, and $18 for the man,
who boards himself; 1924 month, three
months, $72. If he hires the same man
at $18 month and pays $3 for horse
feed and 81 for fast walker, he can do in
two months what the slow team would
do in three. Two months fast team and
feed and ploughman, at $25 a month,
$50. Direct loss by slow horse, $22. Be-
sides, the work done by the slow horse is
not SC. well or seasonably done-the seed
may be put in the ground too late, the
grass may get ahead of the plough, and
the indirect loss by the'slow team may be
serious, besides the 1922 loss, as stated
above-New- Orleans Picayune.
