How Lawyer Walked Up to a Winchester
That Was Talking.
Prosecuting Attorney Price, of Taney
county, would well serve as the hero Of
the most sensational novels. The son
of President Buchanan's United States
treasurer, he is finely educated and
fluent talker. Fitted in every way to
adorn high society in any one of the
large cities, he prefers to cast his lot
among the Ozark mountaineers. He
is man over six feet tall, firmly, but
neither sparingly nor yet corpulently
built, with a figure as straight as the
proverbial arrow and with fine face
adorned by bright, dark eyes, says the
Kansas City Star. One little story will
illustrate the character of the man and
show his absolute fearlessness. One
day when he was practicing lawyer a
rough character took offense at utter
ances of his and sent word to him that
he proposed to have it out with him.
The man was armed with Winchester
rifle and had imbibed literally of the
Taney white whisky" Price appeared
in front of his office and the man be-
gan opening fire on him. Instead OF
retreating Price drew his revolver and
advanced straight at the man. The
latter kept pumping his Winchester
while Price continued to walk toward
him. The absolute GOODNESS Of his an'
tagonist disconnected the fire of the
character and not bullet took effect
though one or two pierced Prices
clothing. BY the time the Winchester
was empty he was near the man. Club
bing his revolver he rushed forward
and beat the man severely, driving hin
finally out Of the town. 1t was the
coolest act ever known In Taney.

MS QUEER SCALE.
A Nova Scotia Barkoeper's Inexplicabls
Schedule of Drink Rates.

A Nova Scotia Barkeeper's Inexplicabls
Schedule of Drink Rates.
They do many things that seem queer
to an American in and around Halifax.
One of the oldest encountered by re-
cent traveller was the scale Of price
adopted by a Sligo man in selling ale.
This is unique, inasmuch as one glass
costs eight cents, two for fifteen and
three for quarter. The size OF the
glass, by the way, does not vary In
either instance, 1t is easy to see that
this schedule of rates is calculated to
make drinking in company with one
man popular, while placing a penalty
upon the person who invites two
friends to join him.
The Sligo man was asked to explain
his rates, but he could not do so. The
only answer he would vouchsafe the in
quirer was: "Well, it's the custom
here" Perhaps 1t is his intention to
discourage the pernicious habit Of
treating.

Come back, dear days!
Across the space
Bereft Of cheer, your steps retrace,
And gliding down the yielding air
Like winged sunbeams bright and fair,
Smile once again on souls oppressed.
And all life's pulses thrill with rest,
Dear vanished daysl
Come back, dear daysl
So long and drear
The shadowy years since you were here.
And morning beams have died away
Meath somber slzies-like souls astray
Our lonely lives are all unblest
OF the dear Joys we love the best,
Come back, dear daysl
Come back, dear daysI
And with US stay.
And bring such rest-7in the old way;
Some echos Of your songs refrain
Dissolve In dreamy calm again
Our scattered roses pray restore,
That we may prize lost petals more.
No more to ask-save only this.

Dear daysi Come back.

FORT WORTH, Tex, April 24.-All OF
Texas has needed rain so much that
the great evangelist, Dwight l.. Moody,
called upon his audience of 5000
Christians to pray feryently that the
flood gates might be opened. This
was at 3 p. m. When the tabernacle
was crowded by 10000 people at 5
o'clock. Mr.. Moody announced word
had come from several points that rain
had fallen. A few minutes later the
storm burst on Fort Worth and torrents
of rain fell. Then Mr.. Moody gave
thanks to God and called upon the
congregation to join in singing
Corona ton" and "A1l Hail the Power
of Jesus Name. The song had surged
forth from 10000 voices when a
cracking noise was heard and the roof
sank and the rafters gave way, and
the heavy timbers and boards covered
with tar aud gravel came down on a
portion of the congregation. There
was panic. Scores upon scores of
women tainted. some men lost their
heads and piled pell nell over those
nearest them. Mr.. Moody grasped the
situation and, moving to the middle of
the platform, lifted both hands, moving
his arms slowly to and fro. His
attitude and GOODNESS stopped the
panic and men began to go to work
and rescue those in danger. A drench-
ing rain was falling, but they worked
hard and the wounded were soon taken
out and carried to their homes or to
houses near by.

GREAT MYSTERY SOLVED.
Identity Of the Famous Jack the Ripper 70
DiscOyercd.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 26. DIR. How
ard prominent London physician,
recently in this city, told story of his
own knowledge to the effect that the
mystery of Jack the Ripper is no
longer mystery among the scientific
men of London nor the detectives of
Scotland Yard. He said the mysteri-
GUS assassin was medical man OF
high standing and extensive practice
with a beautiful and amiable wife.
Shortly before the Whitechapel muir
ders began he developed an inexplic-
able mania in the unnatural pleasure
OF causing pain. Then the White
chapel murders began and his wife
noticed with horror that her husband
was always absent from home on such
occasions. She finally communicated
her fears to medical friends of her
husband who with the aid of detect
ives succeeded in establishing his
identity as the murderer They
brought him face to face with the facts
and finally he confessed that there
We're periods of which he had no
recollection, and afterwards awaken

on his hands and clothing and his
amputating knives showing signs of
use. Ample proofs of the murder were
found in the house and at his own re-
quest, the physicians removed him to
an insane asylum, where he soon lost
all semblance of sanity and is now the
most intractable and dangerous mad
man in the institution

Graves Of Noted Men.

ut is noteworthy, SAID Representa-
tive George d. Wise, speaking of the
recent death of Julia Gardiner Tyler at
Richmond, Va, "that the bones OF two
ex.presidents, John Tyler and James
Monroe, should rest within fifteen feet
of one another in Holywoa( terry.
Such however, is the fact. Monroe's
tomb is quite ornate and is on the brow
of a hill overlooking the James river.
Tyler's grave is on the slope of the hill,
and there is neither stick nor stone to
mark his last resting place. Tyler,
like his wife, died after brief illness,
but atan advanced age
Captain Wise concluded:
Hollywood cemetery has within its
limits the remains of a large number
of celebrities. The ashes OF the eccen-
trio and celebrated John Randolph
were removed few years ago from
Roanoke and placed in Hollywood.
The inscription on his tomb is:
Here lies John Randolph OF
Roanoke.
Chief Justice John Marshall was
buried in the Shockhoe Hill cemetery,
beside his wife. Simple manners in
life and transformations in his tastes, it
is quite probable that it was under
special Instructions that his burial
place is under plain marble slab, duly
marked with his name and the date
of birth and death. There is no indi-
cation on the stone of the exalted po-
sition he held in the highest court in
the land. " Washington Letter to New

How much have we a right to know
of the private affairs of our friends and
acquaintance? This is delicate ques-
ton to answer Where to draw the line
depends SO much on the degree of in-
timacy. But in order to make social
intercourse satisfactory, easy and Sc
cure, we certainly ought to know some
thing.
We are bound in fairness to our fellow
man to give our credentials, our pass
port, so to speak, our nationality, our
calling, our domestic condition, in order
to save him from the modification Of
treading on delicate ground, or at least
to save him from the restraint which
uncertainty involves. OF course there
are many private matters which man
has right to keep secret. according to
our recognized code Of social laws,
though we think the less secrecy there
is in the world the better, since all SCI
crets are lies by implication. Teras
