express car robbed at $50 at night, at

to do. The robbers thercupon dumped the
smsa iron chest, which contained $2560, out
Of the car door. and, breaking it open, took
the entire amount. They made no attempt
to rob the passengers, and there was but one
shot fired. The robbers wore masks Of red
flannel, and after completing the job took to
the woods with their booty. Officers have

TWO BROTHERS LYNCHED.
Held for the Murder of a Sherif-Not
Allowed Last Prayer.

At o'clock on recent morning deter
mined crowd of men gathered in front OF
the Jail at Somerset, KY, and demanded
James n. and Josiah Gilliland, held for the
murder of Sheriff McCargue, of Pulaski
County. The guard of ten men, in charge
of Chief of Police Anderson, stood at their
post until they saw resistance was useless.
Jailer Sheppard was overpowered by the
mob and the prisoners taken out and hanged
to the limbs of two sycamore trees. They
were game to the last, and did not confess,
protesting their innocence and only asking
leave to kneel and pray. to which the mob
answered by groans and curses. James's last
words were, II am dying for another's
crime" He uttered a short prayer, but
was interrupted by the mob, who told him
to Idle telling the truth; don't die with lie
on your lips"
He is the one supposed to have fired the
fatal shot, and many crimes are attributed
to him. Josiah, the younger brother. a
slight, smooth faced lad of twenty, protested
his innocence.

Something About RnglDesigns.

II was very much amused" said gentle
man recently, who for many years had lived
in Constantinople. 'at some of the efforts
made in this country to reproduce Turkish
designs in rugs and fabrics. Anything that
was odd-shsped was called Turkish. As
long as rug has lot of yellow, blue and
red in it and is made up of mosaic of non
descript little details, the manufacturer seems
to feel that he has produced an Oriental. de-
sign. The truth is, though, an Oriental rug,
to the native, tells story as clearly and as
expressive as literature. The details of the
design are not meaningless marks or figures
they are symbols, and suggest historical
events, "reminiscences and romance. could
probably explain the matter more lucidiy by
this analogy: Presuming that you have
been to Europe and collected bric-a-brac and
curios-a few vases from the Sevres works,
an old sword from Damascus, some pottery
from Rome, and strange relics from Pompeii.
You have come back and conventionalized
these shapes and introduced them in a fiat
way into some fabric To you these various
forms bring upa wealth of "Reminiscences.
They tell of a tour of Europe, and the Incl
dents of the trip are revived at every glance.
So, to the Oriental mind, every detail of the
rug of his district arouses the same fund of
"Reminiscences"

A Soft Answer.

A merchant in Alexandria had dispute
with fellah, as peasant is called, about the
settlement of an account. The merchant was
determined to bring the question to the court,
to which the fellah objected. Desiring to
make last effort, the fellah called at the mer-
chants office one morning and asked the
servant if his master was in. The merchant,
hearing the inquiry, and knowing who it was,
called aloud from his office:
"1ell that rascal that am not in"
The fellah, looking up toward him, calmly
said:
"Well, sshib, God put thee in better
mind"
The merchant was struck with the meek
ness of this reply, and, having looked more
carefully into the matter, he became convinc-
ed that the fellah was right and he in the
wrong. He sent for the fellah, and, after &C.
knOwledging his error, he said:
Il want TO ask you one question. How
were you able to bear my abuse with such
patience?"
"Sahib," replied the fellah, ~ will tell thee.

ChivalrOus Devotion.

At the most extensive aquarium in England
the Brighton Zoo, the female lobster recently
cast her shell. She screwed herself up to.
'gether on the toes and tail, and suddenly bent
her body. Snap went the shell in its centre,
and the case of the back came away in one
piece. The claws were her next care, and
she worked away at them for long time.
1t was proceeding of extreme delicacy,
considering that all the flesh of the great
claw had to be passed through the small
base. During the operation one claw came
of altogether, and this must have seemed to
the lobster lady serious misfortune, as it
will not grow to its full size again until the
second year. The tail and legs gave very lit.
tie trouble, and the body, when thus undress-
ed, proved to be Of pale blue.
The shell casting over, the lobster sank on
the sand, and this action seemed signal for

ly hardened to protect her in fighting her
own battles.
When this happy moment arrived he de-
liberately picked up the old claw, broke it in
his nippers, and ate the meat. He then dug
hole in the sand. placed in it the broken
bits OF SHE'LL buried them, and piled number

An Actress Criticized to Her Face.

A good story is told in the Stuttgart
Neue Musk Zeitung concerning one of the
most eminent German actresses and theat-
rical critic, equally well known to fame. A
number of ladies and gentlemen were the
other day travelling together in railway
carriage from Dresden to Leipsic. Only two
of the passengers knew each other, but the
conversation soon became general, and the
Court Theater at Dresden became the sub
ject of discussion.
One lady who had been present the evening
before at the representation of "Euryanthe"
was loud in her expressions ofdisapproval.
"Worse than ALL" she exclaimed, "that
Madame Schroeder is much too old for her
part, her singing is becoming unbearable.
Don't you think so, too?" she asked, turning
to the gentleman next to her.
"Would you not rather tell all this to
Madame Schroeder herselfp She is sitting Cd.
posite to you," he replied coldly.
After the general silence which followed
this remark the critical lady turned to the &C.
tress with many confused apologies:
at is that horrid critic Schneider who has
influenced my judgment concerning your
singing. l believe it is he who is always
writing against you. He must be most dis
agreeable and pedantic person."
Had you not better tell all this to N.
Schneider HIMSELF" calmly asked the &C.
tress, che is sitting next to you"

Concise.

A teacher in suburban school, not long
ago, gave her pupils twelve minutes in which
to write an abstract" A shoe was the SUBJ
ject selected by her, and the boys were to
write in the first person. No limit as to the
number of lines or words was given them.
Most of the boys wrote and erased, dur.
ing the whole time allotted, but the teacher
noticed one fellow who sat idle until the time
was within two minutes of expiring As the
scholars filed out, she said to him, Brown,
did you finish your abstract?"
"Yes, ma'am," he answered.
Curious to see what he could have written
in so short time. she looked over the pa
pers, and found this:

ash barrel my grave, the Dump
She says that almost as firmly impressed
on her memory as this remarkable compost
ton is the expression of amazement on the
boys face the next morning when he saw the
"100' mark on his paper.

Birth of the Car Cable.

The sight of six horses vainly endeavoring
to take street car up one of the steep hills
of San Francisco inspired in inventor Halli-
days mind the idea of the cable car system.
The hill was slippery as well as steep. One
horse fell and carried down his mate. The
other horses tumbled, until the six were in a
struggling heap. The weight of the car
dragged them down to the foot of the hill,
bruising and manning them. Mr.. Halliday,
looking on, was filled with compassion for
the poor brutes, and he says he went TO work

Salary.

The derivation of our word SALARY" ID very
curious. In ancient times Roman soldiers
received daily portion of salt as part oftheir
pay. Sal in Latin is salt, and when the salt
was, in course of time, commuted for money,
the amount was called salarium, or salt
money. Hence our SALARY" and hence, NO
doubt, the expression, mot worth his salt"
