Mr. Gibson thinks the three fatal bull
lets which went through Jones body
were shot by the squad of men near the
corner OF the field to which Jones was
going. These men the moonshiner did

come near to this third squad that Dep
uty Parrish called to them to Kill him.
Three rifles flashed at short range and
the moonshiner was a corpse with
three bullet holes through his body.
1t was learned from another source,
and one entirely independent of the
Revenue department, that Jones was
betrayed by two of his accomplices
and supposed friends, who, it is said
were members of the posse which left

Rapid Photography.

Professor E. Mache of Prague is cred
tied with some remarkable achievements
in the line of rapid photography. Thus
the flight of projectile has been fas-
tened on sensitive plate, the exposure
being estimated at probably about one
thousandth of a second. In taking this
picture Professor Mache succeeded not
only in showing the projectile proper
upon the negative, but he also shows the
air currents, and the condensing of
photograph, it is thought, might explain
the luminous tail on comets and on
meteors, which are presumably projec-
tiles hurled through infinite space upon
q larger scale. Another Of these photo
graphic achievements is air occasioned
by the fight of aleaden ball It's current
of air is diverted to all sides at an angle
of about 45 degrees to the axis of the
projectile, and the whirlwind in its
wake shows particles of dust and other
atoms carried in the atmosphere, driven
with an energetic motion in the road
which the projectile has just left. and
following it With almost the same rapid
ity.

Long Sentence.

1t was the desire of Rev. Augustus

man in England, to be welcomed by

rather than as a clergyman; but he con-

Mrs. Cawl had a perennial flow of

steady, unceasing and deliberate mono

MINISTERS, SONS PLAY CARDS.

How Thirteen-year-Old Boy Disposed of
Deck.
There is an Episcopal minister ON the
north side who has two sons, 13 and II
years old respectively, of whom he is
very proud. The responsibility of rear
ing two sons that they may be orna-
ments to society is deeply impressed up
on the good man, and he watches his
boys with a jealous eye, fearing that
they may be brought under harmful in
f1uences. One morning he called the
boys at the usual hour, and when he
had satisfied himself that they were up
he returned to his morning paper. Thir-
ty minutes passed, but the boys did not
come down stairs, and, thinking they
were up to some mischief, he went
quietly to their room, opened the door,
and was startled to see them sitting up
in bed with a deck Of cards between
them, playing seven-up. He did not say
anything further than to tell them that
breakfast was ready, but he immedi-
ately sought his wife and confided to
her what he had discovered. They held
a consultation and decided that it would
be best for the mother to talk to them.
When the morning meal was finished,
she talked with her boys long and seri-
ously on the evils of card playing, and
concluded by saying that she would
trust to the elder one to dispose of the
deck they had some time during the
day. With that the subject was dropped
until evening. At the dinner table she
said to him, Harold, did you dispose
of those cards?''

Palma

A new wrinkle about palms which a
London florist indorses is that the leaves
should be washed, not with pure water,
but with milk and water, which has
wonderful way of preserving them and
preventing the appearance of the brown
spots which are so disfguring. Another
suggestion about plants is that little
cold coffee poured over the earth at the
roots occasionally will be found bere-

Now he contents himself with a simple

OFFICE BUILDING JANIToRs.

They Get Lonely and Uncomfortable, Tired
of the Towering Ediflces.
1.-THE life of janitor of one of the

TO keep the windows shut the most of
the time. You see, even ON the top floor
all the best rooms can be rented easily,
and the janitor has to take the worst of
the lot Most of us have too much care
and worry, too, to train up flower gar
dens. for when night comes we drop in
to our beds to be ready the next morning
early.
but the worst of it is that we never
can get rid of the building. 1 get to
hate mine. Working in it all day, liv-
ing in it at night, get sick of it-fair-
" sick If 1 go off Saturday afternoon
or of a Sunday, I've always got that
building on my mind and always the
thought that 1 must get back to it that
night.

homes to go to, for by the time O'Clock
comes it gets lonely down here. The
