A MAN named Corvett, near Crawfords-
vile, Arkansas, murdered young woman
in shocking manner. The neighbors
learning who had committed the deed,
took Corvett to the scene of the murder,
and with an axe cut off his arms and legs
and severed his head from his body. They
then built fire and burned the body with
its members. The powerlessness of law
in that section seems to be the cause foI
such horrible and swift execution.

THE authorities of Akron, Ohio, are ex-
perienciDg considerable difficulty in en-
forcing the new law compelling attend
ance at school A queer condition of
affairs has been brought to light by the
issuance of a warrant for the arrest OF
Joseph X. Sanders upon charge of violat-
ing the above law. Sanders belongs to
Q peculiar religious sect similar to, but
not identical with, the Second Adventists,
and believing that the world is coming to
an end very shortly. He therefore holds
that it is useless to waste time upon
worldly matters and although he has five
children Of school age they are not attend
ing school, in consequence of this religious
belief There is considerable discussion
among members Of the bar as to whether
the above facts constitute ground for ac
ton as the State school laws are supposed
not to interfere with religious affairs.
ONCE in while some occurrence is re-
ported from Boston which makes us won
der whether that staid old hub has not
been tranferred from Massachusetts Bay
to the shores of Lake Michigan, where
Chicago is usually supposed to be located.
Certainly some Boston events smack
strongly Of Windy City flavor. The other
day an excursion party of Bostonese were
landed in Washington with the smell of
salt Goldfish, baked beans and stewed
pumpkin exhaling from their wearing APP
parel. They went to the White House in
a body, and then an explosion occurred.
The President was in Pittsburg. The ex-
cursionists were furiously iratc. They de-
clared that the railroad agent who arrang-
ed the excursion had guaranteed them an
opportunity to shake hands with the Pres
ident. They got the "cold shake" instead
Of a handshake. This little extra excur-
sion inducement Of throwing in hand
shake with the President with each redue-
ed rate ticket is qnite up to the Chicago
mark, but little startling for Boston.

Chicago Wins.

on the eighth ballot in the House at
Washington, last Monday, for the site o.
the Worlds Fair, Chicago received 157
votes, just three more than majority.
New York made very vigorous fight to
the last. The majority of the Democrats
ultimately supported the Eastern metropo-
polls. Senator Quay took hand in the
matter telegraphing Southern Republican
members to vote for Chicago. The oppo-
sition made an effort to secure time to
combine upon Washington but met with
failure.

Cephas and the Coon

Coon hunting still gives great ENJOY
ment to hunters in the mountainous dis
tricts of Massachusetts. The skin of the
animal sells for dollar or more, bat this
reward is mere trife compared to the
pleasure the hunter finds in tracking and
freeing the coon and finally bringing him
to the ground. Few men ever appreciated
sport of this kind more keenly than GER
tain old farmer named Cephas Green.
He and his wife were ore day jogging
along toward the town in the carryall
business in the city being of especial i'm
portance, nothing less than the signing of
papers which should transfer half of their
farm to netghbor.
They had still four miles to go, when an
acquaintance hastily crossed the road in
front of them, his gun on his shoulder.
''After coon" he said, hastily; my boy
seen one in the woods up here"
"ls that so?" cried old Farmer Green,
excitedly He passed the s'reins to his
wife, leaped from the carryall, and disap-
peared after the sportsman.
Six hours later neighbor, driving over
the road, found the carryall drawn up I'M
der tree, the horse turned out to grass,
and Mrs. Green sitting in the shade, with
look of disgust and WEAKNESS in her
face. Usually the most placid and even
tempered of women, she now said, with
pardonable sharpness:
eff You see JOB Sanders in town, please
tell him that Cephas Green has smelt a
coon, and that that trade of ours won't be
made as long as that coon is alive. If
you're hurried for time you needn't say
anything but 'Cephas Green and COON

Compromising Engines.

The question of compromising engines,
that is, making specified amount of steam
do it's work twice. three, four or more
times. and again, by condensing this same
steam, and by producing vacuum, max
ing the atmosphere add it's force co that of
steam, is one that has for long time re-
ceived attention from mechanical enei-
neers, especially in the navy and mer-
chant marine. The ordinary high pres
sure engines as we use them in this city,
for every thirty pounds of water evapo-
rated into stes one indicated horse power
per hour. In other words, we use under
the most favorable conditions and the
most perfect management of furnaces,
three pounds of coal to produce this result.
Now, by compromising engines, or by even
going to the point of using triple exp>nd-
ing machines, we can got one indicated
horse power per hour from twelve
pounds of steam, or with one and two
tenths pounds of coal. This method
of using steam is not economical except
when you cas- get plenty of free water for
condensation purposes, as it requires one
and half gallons of water per indicated
horse power per minute .-Interuieao In st.

Mystic Turkey Tracks.

There is clinging to some of the early
settlers of Hendricks and Morgan counties
au Impression that buried beneath huge
stone somewhere in the fertile valley of
White Lick creek there are valuable treas
ures. The story is that when the Dels-
ware Indians were forced to vacate their
hunting grounds along the creek they be-
lieved they wera TO be sent from their
lands temporarily, and rather than risk
carving their wealth into strange coun-
try they buried it under huge rock until
they returned. The rock was marked
with turkeys foot carved IN the stone
projecting above the earth.
EARLY settlers along the stream say that
several years after the tribe had vacated
the Lands, q lone Indian came through the
country in search of trea ure which he
said had been buried under stone. He
disapp AIRED as nysteriously as he came,
but he left behind him that tradition that
remsins with some people to this day.
Following the disappearance of the
Indians the settlers began search for the
treasure Then sit was found that there
were plenty of huge stones marked with
turkey tracks" it seemingly having been
a favorite pastime of the red men to carve
out the imprint of turkeys feet upon all
the great stones along the stream. Not
this obstacle, many farmers
excavated beneath huge stones, and were
at not being rewarded for
their labor. 1t is doubtful if there is a
great stone within three miles of the creek
that has not been burrowsd under in
search Of the treasure. As late as ten
years ago the story of the treasure was re-
vived along the stream, and rocks that had
never been disturbed were burrowed I'M

Energy and Luck,

When my business partner came home
from the war, in which he had eallsntly
commanded a battery. he had neither
breeches, home nor money. His wife cut
up wooden dress she had worn for many
years and made pair of breeches. Gath
ering odds and ends from the ruins of At
lanta, he built shanty, of which love
made horne. His father gave him five
dollar gold piece, of which ingenuity
made capital. In three yeers he had built
$3.50 home, in eight years $4,000
home. He now has 100000 suburban
home and is well worth over 1926. 900

Lightning 1T Sea.

Provided that the proper precautions
are taken, ships at sea are in no danger
whatever of being struck by lightning. OF
all the dangers that bsset the seaman,
lightning is the only one that he can guard
against with perfect thor"ughness. Per
manent conductors, properly arranged,
offer the most completes protection from
the electric fluid. Before this fact was
well understood lightning was very fire.
quent cause of damage to shipping. In
the last quarter of tie last century and the
first of this, there were three hundred
cases OF damage to ships of the British
navy from lightning. In the years 1909
to 1915 no fewer than seventy vessels of
our navy were entirely crippled by being
struck 1t was no uncommon thing for
vessels to be set on fire so completely by
lie htnipg as to defy extinction, with the
result that those on board who were not
killed by the electric discharge probably
lost their lives through being unable to let
down the bats before the fire reached
them London Tit Bits.
