A WRONGED FATHER
SHOOTS DOWN THE MAN WHO
MARRIED HIS DAUGHTER


TENARKANA, ARK, Sept, O.-lSpe-
cial. james CapertOn, a switchman in
the Iron Mountain local yards was shot
while at his work, and Instantly killed
this morning.
About a month ago the deceased ran
away and married the daughter OF A.
j, Matthews, an old and respected
citizen. The old man opposed the
match on the ground that Capertun
had been living for year or more with
n prostitute. and for the further reason
that he had heard that he had Il wife
living in Tennessee. After the mar
rlage Matthews pushed an investigation
of the latter rumOr, and soon located at
Nashville a woman claiming to be Cap
ertons lawful wife and induced her to
come here.
Upon her arrival warrant for big
amy was sworn out against Caperton
and he was arrested, but for some cause
or another the hearing OF the case was
continued from day to day until yester-
day, when he was placed under $500
bond to answer before the next grand
jury. Matthews has gone armed with
q shotgun for several days, claiming
that Caperton had repeatedly threat
cned his life. This morning the two
came together as Matthews was passing
the railroad crossing and had a few
sharp words, which ended In Matthews
raising his shotgun and firing both
charges at Caperton, who sank TO the
ground a corpse, shot through the
heart.
Matthews escaped after the shooting
and has not yet been captured.

A Horse Car Incident That Didn't
Pan Out as Intended.
The other day it was raining hard
when Mrs. Lease boarded a street car.
The car was chock-full, and all the
men on the seats sat closely back
and evinced a determination to keep
a position of %sedentary comfort. Mrs.
Lease cast her eye down the car and
at the same time a stupid man in the
corner started to rise.
"Don't," said the man next to him,
grasping his arm. "That's Mrs. Lease,
Don't you know her? She believes in
equality of the sexes. Woman suffrage,
you know"
The stupid man smiled and got up.
Come" said the speaker, still more
importunate, ''you're not>going to get
up, are you? If she thinks she's equal
to a man let her stand. Give her a
dose of her own medicine. See, eh?"
But Mrs. Lease had taken the mans
seat, greatly to the discontinue of the
other, who wanted to see her stand.
Next day he met the stranger on the
street.
"Hello," he said, "you're the man
that gave up your seat to Mrs. Lease.
You missed q good chance to take her
down a little. There wasn't another
man in the car who would have given
way. Wasn't impolite,, you know.
Just a little joke. What made you
get up? Did she hypnotic you?"
"See here" said the man addressed,
II guess you don't know me-"
Cant say that I do" Who are
you, anyway

coast of Peru, an enormous wave was
seen bearing down upon the ship.
The Wateree was brought about to
meet the wave, rode up it's crest, and
thirty minutes later was left high and
dry upon a mountain three miles
back from the Peruvian coast and
1,7OO feet above the level of the sea,
having travelled at the rate of over
sixty miles an hour. The loss of life
by this tidal wave was frightful, one
city alone of 10000 inhabitants be-
ing overwhelmed. All tho vessels in
the neighborhood of the Peruvian
coast foundered with the exception OF
the Wateree, and while the crew was
safe the ship was a loss, and it had
to be abandoned, there being no way

The lady blushed and smiled, but

Strictly Local Rain.

An elderly woman entered an optic
ian's store on Broadway the other
day to make some purchases and
stopped to examine a curious looking
card which stood on a glass case. It
was a picture of a ballet dancer wear
ing a gauzy pink skirt. She turned
to q clerk behind the counter and
said: +
What do you call this thing?"
seThat madame" blandly replied
the clerk, els q French barometer.
The skirt of the ballet girl is saturat-
| ed with q chemical mixture. In fair
weather it is blue. When the weather
changes and it is about to rain it be-
comes violet. During the rain it
turns pink"
The woman looked closely at the
card for a moment, and then walked
to the door and looked at the sunny
sky. She said:
Tits no good. The skirts pink
and it's perfectly dry outside"
The clerk took the card in his hand
and glanced with a puzzled expression
at the pink skirt. Then he looked
at the hoor, and q light came into his
face.

RATTLEsNAKE POISON.

How Physicians Extract 1t from
the Snakes at the Philadelphia
ZOO"
The novel spectacle of a well-known
physician OF this city extracting poi
son from one of the deadly rattle
snakes at the 200" was witnessed by
q large crowd of visitors recently.
The spectators stood at q respectable
distance, for the hideous reptile Missed
viciously and showed every evidence
of intense rage. Just what the doc
tors do with the poison after they get
it is a professional secret that has
never leaked out. It is used as q
medicine in some kind of nervous dis
eases, SO it is said, and as a CONNER
cial product the poison is worth
several times its weight in first water
diamonds. The method of obtaining
the poison is interesting and exciting.
The doctor is usually assisted in the
operation by Head Keeper Bryne,
who thoroughly understands the hab-
it's of all the animals at the "Zoo."
The doctor approaches the rattlesnake
cage with q stick about a yard long,
or one end of which is q stout leather
loop that tightens when the stick is
raised. This is inserted at the top of
the cage, and instantly every snake
coils himself for q spring and sends
out a warning rattle. The loop is
deity slipped over the head of the
reptile before it has had a chance to
spring, and the stick is quickly with
drawn with the snake dangling from
M end of it. No time is lost in pull
ing the snake out OF the cage, as the
other enraged snakes are sure to sink
their poisonous fangs into the body
of their dangling comrade. The as
sistant then holds a large pane OF
glass in front of the snake, and the
doctor dashes his hand against the
other side of the glass until the reptile,
after sending forth the warning rattle,
dashes his head against the protect
ing pane, and invariably there is left
q tiny drop of poison on the glass.
This is carefully put in q tiny vial,
and the precious package is stored
away in the doctors safest pocket.
The doctors never obtain but one
drop at q visit. as this seems to be
enough to make medicine for a long
time.-Philadelphia Record.

An Authors Pot Pourrl.

"Author's pot pourri' is a game
which is becoming more and more
popular. A large number of leaves
are to be made of tissue paper of the
paie-green shades or" if preferred of a
perfect rainbow of colors. After be-
ing carefully shaped like a leaf, they
are folded down the center and crink-
led over a knitting needle; n side is
then folded over, and a small card
shaped paper, with a desirable QUOTA
ton written on it, is gummed to the
end. Very light weight paper is the
best for the latter purpose.
When the company is ready for
serving, the dish holding the leaves is
passed and each guest selects one, and
upon reading the quotation gives the
name of the author.
If he does this correctly the leaf is
his. H he fails the leaf is returned,
and atthe next passing Of the dish an
other is selected. Some will soon
collect q large bouquet Of lenves, and
the one having the largest number a
pretty prize is given.
