HE WAS BADLY MUDDLED.
Wichita Constable Receives Dispatch
Which He is Unable To Explain.

Constable Tom Voss received a dis
patch from Guthrie that caused him
TO rub his head and do a good deal of
thinking. 1t was written in plain En-
glish but for all that Tom did not know
what in the world it could mean.
1t simply stated 1.-THE man who did
the shooting in the dark room here at
Guthrie" Tom read it over and over.
He sat down and tried to think what
it meant but it was no go.
THE only time that any shooting
was done in a dark room" thought Tom
was when VIII Douglas did the shoot
ing over on Water street, but he is in
the county Jail unless he has escaped. -
And then Tom called up Charley Hor-
ner at the Jail and Charley said Doug
las was sure there.
Tom took his dispatch and went down
to consult Chief Massey and right then
and there the light began to penetrate
the mystery.
when that shooting occurred" said
Massey, Joe Stephenson, Douglas
partner, was there and l gave him
twenty-four hours to leave the town,
and he skipped and l suppose he has
gone down to Guthrie and somebody
has found il out and concluded that
you wanted him and they have sent
you this Dispatch
That explained the dispatch and Tom
Voss rested easy. His name was pub
liShed i'll the Eagle as one of the officers
who made the arrest and everybody
reads the Eagle and when the Oklaho-
ma man learned that one of the coons
who was in the dark room when the
shooting was done he concluded that
the officers wanted him and hence the
dispatch.

CONFUSION OF TONG UES,

able to look out for himself. He
receives, as a rule, no sympathy in
the serious troubles and difficulties
which occasionally overtake him.
This is, no doubt, a pity, for book
agents are often as sensitive as other
people, and quite as deserving.
College students who are compelled
to find some means of earning mon
ely during their summer vacation
have occasionally adopted the book
agents pursuit; and they, perhaps,
have been the worst sufferers from
the accidents and exigencies of the
trade.
Last summer a student from nor
thern New Hampshire, who had
foished his Freshman year at -
College, took an agency for a book
which seemed to him to "offer ele-
ments of popularity" and went out
on foot along the country roads.
He had a singular and somewhat
unpleasant nasal utterance, and
aside from this popularity he pos
sessed many Of the qualities which
recommend a person as book
peddler.
He sold few copies to farmers
wives and daughters, but on the
whole had been poorly encouraged,
when he fell one day upon a large
marble quarry and works, Here
was chance to reap a harvest, At
least hundred and fifty men were
in the quarries and under the sheds.
The book agent stepped uppolite-
ly to the first man he came across,
and opening his portfolio said, in a
high nasal, voice:
II have here, sir, a most valuable
work which | wish to submit to
your inspection"
MA, corpo di Bacco!" said the
man, struggling his shoulders; mon
intendo il vostro parlare-"
He went on in coplous flow of
Italian, out Of which the young
book agent could make nothing.
1t was evident that it was of no use
to canvas him. So the agent
stepped up to the next man, and
began as before:
II have here, sir"
"Que voulez-vous, done? Je ne
parle pas 7 Anglais," said the work
man. "Je suis Canadien francais;
d'ailleurs, je ne sails nj lire nj ecrire
The man would have talked on
at great length in his own French
tongue, no doubt if the agent had
not sough4 another customer.
He smiled on the third man in a
CHASTITY, care-worn way, The man
had blue eyes and d blond NOUS
tache, and looked, somehow, very
friendly. The student pitched his
voice higher than ever, and began:
"Sir, have here a most valu
able" =,
"Das list genug, mein Freund, "
said the man. "Ich bin gestern

Union Soldiers Who Favor the Dedi-

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I see that Mr.. Thayer. commander of the
Department of Massachusetts, c. A. r.,
protests vigorously against the proposed
dedication of a monument to the memory
of confederate dead. Not all Union soldiers
share the commanders feeling in this re-
spect. I. for one, do not. I doubt whether
Abraham Lincoln or L. S. Grant, were they
living, would share it. Why should not the
confederate dead be remembered? Why
should not their surviving friends honor
them for their devotion to what, from boy
hood they had been led to believe was
holy cause? What harm, TO any one, can
the erection of such monument do?
North and south is quite agreed, at this
day. that the triumph of the south would
have been the worst thing that could have
happened to all. But the casus beli, Mr..
as to the nature of the tie which bound
the states together. The north rightly
thought that this was nation. The south
that it was but an alliance of sovereign
states. The south Lo longer holds to this
view. The nation has been welded together
by rivers of blood and by oceans of wo-
mems tears. The nation is accepted by all
as sovereign beyond dispute. The Ameri-
can republic, We all believe, is eternal as
why then. should we not honor the man
hood, the valor, of the southern soldier,
who thought he was right, and who had the
courage to offer his life for to him

J. Wallace Barnes, the liquor drummer
who was arrested for threatening his fam
lily and sent to the insane asylum because
of the unsound condition of his mind, has
escaped. Yesterday while out exercising he
got away from his attendants and reached
his home, No. 1919 Nermonth avenue, be-
fore he could be overtaken. When he
reached home and saw his wife the latter
thought she would keep him home for
while at least, ard when the asylum at
tendants arrived they found that the hus-
band and wife had barred the doors against
them and they were powerless in the mat
ter. The police were appealed to, but they
knew of no law that would permit them
to enter and take the escaped patient, and
so he was permitted to remain in his castle.
During the night the police watched
about the vicinity of the house to be on
hand should Barnes become violent. This
morning Barnes was still at home.

Given Thirs:y Days.

An old man named Thomas NJ. Berkeley
was in Judge kimballs court this morn
Ing, charged with vagrancy, because he
was found begging on the street. He had
paper and was soliciting funds, as, he
said, to bury his dead child. His child was
killed by beer wagon several days ago
and there was an insurance of $40 on the
child's life. This, Judge Kimball thought,
was enough to defray the funeral ex-
perse3.
Inspector Beaumont said he had known
the prisoner for many years. Berkeley, he
said, was discharged from the navy yard
for drinking, and he has been drinking
ever since.
HE is no earthly good to his family"
said witness, land l think ninety days
would do him good and get the whisky
out of him.
A sentence of thirty days in default OF
bonds was imposed.
