Down. in Tennessee the strong arm of

J. Stern, J. Moon and W. 8. Lowry and

live in Paris, Tenn, and are spoken Of
by the local press of Henry county as up
right men and good citizens but, how~
ever that may be, they are now in Jail
working out fine of s25 each at 25 cents
day. Did these men rob chicken
roost or steal watermelon7 No. Their
crime was that they observed Saturday
instead of Sunday as day of rest. 1t is
true that they belonged to the Adventist
church, and Saturday observance was a
part Of their faith !; but they were sin the

So these men were sent to Jail. Next

arrest, an exchange says.
"Four good men are In jail in Tennes-
they conscientiouslv kept Saturday as
Seventh. Day Adventists.
'.'And it is truth which has often been
pointed out that, if Saturday was the
Sabbath in Palestine, then Sunday is for
the most part the Sabbath in Tennessee,

Saturday in Jerusalem 1t is getting-up
time in Tennessee the next day. Further.
more, if these unfortunate Adventists
would take tour westward around the
world, and keep Saturday all the way
around, they would find themselves keep
ing Sunday when they got home again.
By the same token, however, If they went
around eastward. they would be Moham-
medans Wien they got home again, as
they would be Keeping Friday.

team started up quickly. The boy fell
on the wheel and was carried over in
front of the cutter-bar, the sickle knives
cutting the arm until it hung only by the
skin and few shreds Of flesh. Mr.:
Thurber ran to his assistance. He called
to the team as he ran, and sprang to the

be in town, promptly responded to an ap.

ing flesh and skin, at the place where the
machine teeth had done their cruel work,
and removed the severed portion of the
arm. But he saw that, as the part re-
naming had been mangled by the ma

elbow--would be necessary; but, as he
did not have his instruments with him.

BURR HAD TO OBEY.

The Vice President Was Stopped Sunday
by the Tithingman.
A relative of Deacon Highly, the old
tithingman Of Milford, tells the story
Of an encounter with Aaron Burr when
the latter was travelling from Boston to
New York while he was vice president
Of the United States. It has been told
often, but seldom accurately until now,
says Milford Conn., correspondent Of
the New York Sun. Deacon Highly, as
tithingman, was accustomed to sit be-
tween sunrise and sunset every Sunday
in the front gallery of the old Plymouth
church on the turnpike in this place.
From the window he could command a
viewof the road for several miles east
and west, and If any traveller passed on
pleasure or business bent he was halted
and compelled to stop over until the
sun had set. Mr.. Burr arrived at Mil
ford Sunday morning. Deacon Highly
saw the imposing equipage coming to-
ward the church and ran out to stop it,
The Positions drew up at his word of
command, and Mr. Burr asked, "What's
the matter?" Deacon Highly told him
that he was breaking law of the state
by travelling Sunday, and that he must
put up his horse and wait until sunset.
Burr was somewhat astonished at the
command and, after, looking at the tall
and imposing figure of the tithingman
who stood at the horses heads, he re:
marked, as if expecting to settle the
question: "But am Aaron Burr, vice
president of the United States" The
deacon was no respecter of persons.
With an obeisance, he replied: SIT
makes no difference if you are vice
president Of the United States, In the
name Of the God / serve and the coun-
try I honor forbid you to pass through
this place until the sun has set" Burr,
instead Of defying the law, obeyed the
command and had his horses put out,
and he and his retinue took dinner in
Buffers tavern, staying until after the
sun went down. Deacon Highly often
related the incident to his friend and
physician, Dr.. L. N. BeardsIy, who re.
peated it to the relative who tells the
story how: II removes the inputation
gat Burr refused 10 ebey tlie law, and
ts da8 10 the MeMofT 81 Deacon Highly;
