A TRAGIC ADVENTURE.


The Thrilling Sequel to the Hanging Of .
Condemncd Murderer.
Everybody remembers when the
great Texas murderer, Dick Masters,
was hanged" said E. NJ Cary of Waco,
"but the strange death of Sheriff Win
tiers, who sprung the. trap, has been kept
ont of the papers. After Masters body
was cut down, the county physician pro-
nouncing the murderer dead, the sheriff
ordered four deputies to carry the body
to his private laboratory, where he
used to pursue his medical expert
ments alone. He was bound to dissect
the powerful, well developed body of
Masters, SO he shut himself up with the
corpse and went to work.
The sheriff, moved about briskly,
making q great CHATTER with his insrru-
ments. Several times he went to the
windows and peered out, but the neigh
borhood was deserted. He soon discoy-
cred that the drop on the scaffold had
not broken Masters neck, and the sher-
if thought that was fortunate, as he al
ways had experimental ON the restora-
tion of life whenever opportunity afford
ed. He laid down his instruments and
| began to try and restore life. The even
ing shadows drifted into night 1t was
a noisy town and the shouts and laugh
| ter of jewellers could be heard every
where Several times the crowds pass
ing the sheriff's room thought they
| heard the sounds of scuff1ing, and more
than once a muff1ed shout was heard.
! But the pleasure seekers ON the streets
passed along without giving thought
| to this
On the following day Sheriff Winters
failed to appear at his Office. Nobody
had seen him since he locked himself III
the laboratory with Masters body.
Finally the mayor of the town and sew
eral deputy sheriffs went to the labora
tory, but rapping at the door nor shout:
would bring any answer. Then they
broke open the door. The sight before
them nearly turned their hair gray
The room was total wreck. The furni
ture was strewn about the room
smashed to pieces, and everything Dor,
evidence of a terrible struggle. Sheriff
Winters lay on the floor, dead, and TIT
marks about his throat showed that h
had been strangled. A few feet ava,
lay the dead botly Of the murderer, Mas
tiers. The faces and the garments of boil
men bore evidence of a hard fight. Tn
only conclusion that could be arrived a
was that Masters had revived, and OF
regaining consciousness and strength h
attacked the sheriff and succeeded il
killing him before he died himself. Al
this happened in the Jail CT Rio Grand
county. kansas City Journal.

Ancient Hearts.

The transfer Of Kosciusko's heart to
the castle at Rapperswill, Switzerland,
recalls many stories of the crusaders,
who, dying in the Holy Land, sent their
hearts TO friends at home. So afterward
Sir Robert Peckham died out Of Eng
land in 1886, but his heart was not
buried until 1863. The heart Of John
Ballot was embalmed by his widow e
desire and inclosed in an ivory casket
enameled with silver. And she, the low
ing Devorgilla, placed this casket on
her table every day at mealtime and
ordered it put ON her own heart when
she was borne to the tomb. Then there
is the heart of the Bruce, dear to elocu-
tionists and stump speakers. For strange
tales about hearts see the Lives of the
TrOubadours, and that dreadful story

Of Atheists. boston Journal

Disasters to Swallows,

Although swallows are such wonder
fully quick sighted birds, and can change
the direction Of their flight with amaz-
ing rapidity and ease, it occasionally
happens that they either do not perceive
the danger lying in their path or are not
quick enough to avert it, for have once
or twice, while fly fishing for trout, ac-
cidentally knocked down and stunned q
swallow. Several instances have also
been recorded of the poor bird being
struck and killed by golf balls, and in
one case at least even by cricket ball
Petrels and other sea birds have been
known to collide while in midair and
drop into passing boats. Wild ducks are
occasionally picked up on board ships
that have been lying at anchor all night
in some of our large rivers and estuaries.
They strike the rigging or tunnels dur
ing their nocturnal flights, and as many
as five were found one morning on the
deck of vessel lying at the mouth Of
the Thames. Magazine.

Natures Signs.

Diseases that are readily communi-
Gated or transmitted show themselves in

constitutional or blood diseases make
their presence known most clearly and
Enthusiastically. This is one of natures
methods for protecting the pure against
the impure.
The habitual drunllard, the debauchee
and the unclean carry signs that all may
read and understand. These victims Of
disorders of mind and body would OBJ
ject to wearing placard OH their backs

to go about with the hideous truth writ
ten in their faces where all may see it.
Wrinkled brows, sunken eyes, droop-

dizziness of the eyes, breathing through
the mouth, decay of teeth, offensiveness
Of the breath, sunken cheeks, dark rings

The yyonders of smelling.

James Mitchell, who died in or about
1888, in the county of Marin, in Scot
land, and was born blind on Nov. II.
1895, recognized, says The World Of
Wonders, different persons by smelling.
The famous Mr.. Boyle mentions blind
man at Utrecht who could distinguish
different metals by the different odors,
and Martials records the case of per-
son named Mamurra who could tell by
smelling whether copper was true Cor
inthian or not. Indian travellers have
recorded that certain natives who habit
ually abstained from animal food have
q sense of smelling which is SO exquis-
itely delicate that they can tell from
which well a vessel of water has been
obtained. 1t has been related that by
smell alone the negroes of the Antilles
will detect the footsteps of Frenchmen
from those of a negro. Marco Marci has
left an account Of a monk at Prague who
could tell by smelling anything given tc
him who had last handled it. The guides
who accompany travellers in the route
from Aleppo to Babylon will tell by
smelling the desert sand how near they
are to the latter place.

Charm of stevenson's style.


But the main fact which entities it to
be called perfect style is its constancy
in excellence and charm. It is always
firm and complete in texture, and uni
form in the sense that, while it varies
in spirit to suit the subject in hand, it
does not vary in quality from line to
line, from page to page. / think that
perfect pages, and at all events his
style delights us more as a whole than
in any of its parts, striking or exquisite
though many of these may still appear
when torn away from their context. II
you like best to be surprised by indie
pendent epigrams, by unexpected bursts
of eloquence, by sudden marvels of ex-
pressional felicity, turn to some other
writer. Stevenson will not amaze you
thus. But except very slightly now and
then in his earliest efforts he will never
disappoint you or let you down. And
| this experience ought to seem more
amazing than any other could. To Dc
things fiawlessly from end to end is 8

He Wouldn't Bring an Action.

There is story told Of a very eminent
advocate, now no longer with us, who
once, while endeavoring to dissuade a
friend from going to law, was asked
what he would himself consider suffi-
cient ground for resorting to litigation.
my dear fellow" he replied, 81 do
not say that under no conceivable cir
cumstances would 1 take proceedings
against any one, but do say that if at
this moment you deliberately upset my
ink on the tablecloth, chucked my wife
out of the window, threw that volume of
reports at the bust Of Blackstone, made
hay with my furniture and finally
tweaked my nose, should no doubt use
my best endeavors to kick you down
stairs, but, once rid of you, either by
force or persuasion, no power on earth
should induce me to bring an action
against you. "-Westminster Gazette

A Word For the Elevator boy.

One of the elevator men in the city
hall, whose contact with all sorts and
conditions of men has developed in him
fondness for studying character, has
often wondered just what word to apply
to malady which seems to afflict some
of his passengers. Many people get
into the elevator" he remarked the
other day, land seem to imagine I
should know just where they want to
get off. They never open their lips until
carry them beyond their destination,
when they seem to think l am at fault
for not being mind reader. spoke to
Police Surgeon Andrews about it one
day, and told him thought there ought
to be some word coined to describe these
people. He advised me to call them
aphonians, and explained to me that
aphonia was really temporary loss of
speech. So now I'm always ON the
watch for aphonians. "-Philadelphia

IS THIS FACT OR LEGEND?
A Queer Story About the Way In Whic
"Leonanie~ Was Written.

A Queer Story About the Way In Which
"Leonanie" Was Written.
In the house of gentleman in this
city we recently saw a poem written on
the fly leaf of an old book. Noticing
the initials Sc A. P.' at the bottom,
it struck us that possibly we had run
across bonanza.
The owner of the book said that he
did not know who was the author of the
poem. His grandfather, who gave him
the book, kept an inn in Chesterfield,
near Richmond. One night a young
man raped at the door and asked if he
could stay all night and was shown to
a room.
That was the last we saw Of him.
When they went next morning to call
him to breakfast, he had gone, but had
left the book, on the fly leaf of which
he had written these verses:
LEoNANIE.
Leonanie! Angels named her,
And they took the light
OF the laughing stars and framed her
In q suit of white,
And they made her hair Of gloomy
Midnight and her eyes of glowing
Moonshine and they brought her to mo
In the silent night.
In a solemn night of summer
When my heart of gloom
Blossomed up to greet the conner,
Like q rose in bloom,
All forebodings that distressed me
forgot as joy caressed me,
Lying joy that caught and pressed me
In the arms of doom.
Only spake the little lisper
In the angels tongue,
Yet, listening. heard her whisper:
"Songs are only sun
Here below that they may grieve You.
Tales are told you to deceive you.
So must Leonanie leave you
While her love is young"
Then God smiled, and it was morning,
Matchless and supreme.
Heavens glory seemed adjoining
Earth with its esteem.
Every heart but mine seemed gifted
With the voice Of prayer and lifted
Where my Leonanie drifted
From me like n dream.
