GOT EVEN WITH HIS WIFE.
Husband Who Called In a Phrenolo-
gist to Stop Practical Joking.

He had been frequently the victim
OF his wife's practical jokes. says the
Detroit Free Press. He was troubled
most by a neighbor who called in to
tell fortunes with the cards and ut the
wife's suggestion always got the laugh
on him by recalling some alleged incl
dent of his past life that never oc-
Cured, seeing some blonde woman
near him that was going to cause fu-
ture trouble, or having him tangled up
in scrape which he would be- the last
man to encounter. The other day he
found peregrinating phrenologist on
the street. He asked the old fraud to
the house and told him on the way up
that he had good looking servant
girl at the house who was Il jewel in
her proper capacity, but a good many
things had been missed from the house
since she came there, and while he
could prove nothing he suspected the
woman. When they reached the house
the wife was called in and the bump
interpreter was set to work without
the preliminary of an Introduction.
He thought he knew the lay of the
land aud proceeded accordingly.
"1hlS woman" he said, has keen
perceptions She is shrewd, but some
what after the manner of fox. She
has grasping disposition and coveis
anything pretty that she sees. If I
owned this property would keep my,
spoons and other silver locked up. /
would leave no money lying around,
and as for jewelry"-
But there was sudden breaking up
of the seance. John, who is this hor-
rid man? Laughing at him, are you?
Get out of here, you miserable old
cheat, you-you puppy, leave this
house before | have you kicked out
I'll-" But he was gone on dead
run, and when the husband could re-
gain his breath it was definitely ar
ranged that the days of his persecution
were over.

THE TALE OF WILLIAM TELL.

llham Iell ran hay ranch near BeT-
gelen about five hundred and eighty
years ago. Tell had lived in the
mountains ali his life and shot chamois
and chipmunks with a cross gun till
he was bad man to stir up.
At that time Switzerland was run
principally by lot OF carpet-baggers
from Austria, and Tell got down on
them about the year 1907. It seems
that Tell wanted the Government
contract to furnish hay at S45 ton
for the yesr 1906, and Gessler, who
who was controlling the patronage of
Switzerland, let the contract to an
Austrian who had a big lot OF condemn
ed hay further up the gulch.
One day Gessler put his plug hat
upon telegraph pole, and issued order
No. 236, regular series, to the effect
that every snoozer who passed down
the toll road should bow to it.
Gessler happened to be in behind
the bush when Tell went by. and he
noticed that Bill said, "Shoot the hat"
and didn't salute it. so he told his men
to gather Mr.. Tell in and put him in
the refri gerator.
Gessler told him that if he would
shoot a crab apple from the head of
his only son, at two hundred yards
with cross gun he would give him
his liberty.
Tell consented, and knocked the
apple higher than Gilderoy's kite.
Old Gessler however. noticed another
arrow sticking in Williams girdle,
and asked what kind of fowery
/ freak that was.
| Tell told him that if he had killed
the Kid instead of busting the apple,
he intended to drill hole through
the stomach of Mr.. Gessler. This
made Gessler mad again and he took
Tell on picnic up the river in irons.
Tell jumped off when he got a good
chance, and cut across a bend in the
river, and when the picnic party came
down, he shot Gessler deader than a
mackerel

How an Asiatic Was Beheaded With One
Cut of Sword.

l once saw a heavy executioner in
Turkey slide down the rope and fall
on the suspended mans neck with all
his avoirdupois to break the spinal
column, says writer in the Globe
Democrat. OF course it was q barbar-
Gus proceeding. The most careful
and conscientious eXecutioper | ever

Turkey and Russia. l was riding
throug III some woods when suddenly
found myself in clearing before

a red thread around a sleeps heck. !
asked him why he was doing that. He
picked up a cleaver and with quick
blow cut off the sleeps head, making
the cut exactly along the line of the
red thread. You see now," he SAID,
"why | did it. / tied that thread be-
tween two joints so that there would

had sword with a curved blade. The
blade and hilt were hollow, and there
was quicksilver in the space, so that
when the weapon was held aloft the
quicksilver ran down into the hilt and
steadied the hand, and when the sword
was swung down the quicksilver ran
to the end of the blade and gave added
weight and impetus to the blow. The
doomed man knelt and bent his head
forward. The executioner tied red
thread carefully around the barred
neck, and with one swing OF his weapon
cut off the head. 1t was Il clean, scien-
tific cut between the verte bra, and

rest him for the more serious offense.
Rogers is about thirty.two years old,
a man of pleasant face and affable
manners. He was arrested immedi
ately after the murder and placed in
jail, from which he escaped while
awaiting trial. A sad romance is
connected with his history. Rogers
came to this city in 1890. His agree
able ways won for him an entree into
the homes of the best families of the
place. He began paying devoted at
tention to Miss Annie Small, daugh-
ter of one of the best and oldest fam
lilies in this section. and succeeded
in winning her love. In 1891 they
were married. The young bride idol
lied her husband, but one night q
terrible shock came to her, when the

arrested for highway robbery. She
was steadfast in her declaration of
his innocence, but the case against
him was complete and he was con
victed. A more serious blow await
