 Be thankful that you are not very
 wealthy; be thankful that you are not very poor. The best people in the

 middle class.

THE OLD MAN ACCOUNTED FOR

Bishop Thompson, of Mississippi, said the other day: T suppose there is
 q larger percentage of old men in Mississippi than in any other state at least, it seems so to me, ana have been in good many. By old I mean from SC to 90. They are not decrepit old men who hug the fireside, but are quite lively old fellows One of them whom I knew, a man of S9, recently got too lively. He went out after dark without a lantern, fell into ditch, and was broken up just as if he were china. I forget how many bones were broken" How do you account, bishop, for this large proportion of old men in Mississippi" asked some one. Well" said the bishop, there is no chance to become rich in Mississippi. Everybody knows it and does not worry himself into an early grave try ing to-"

prostrate form With one quick, sweeping glance his brain photo graphed the slightest deE Eail.
 With a wall of mokal agony he snatched up the shivering lad and fled. He came to the trembling horses, the wet hair frozen stiff. He tore the har- ness from one, led it up to the wagon side. and scrambled awkwardly 4on it's back. Lifting the boy up in front he turned the animals head down the road and dashed him into a run. It was bitterly cold now, and he dropped the bridle rein and hung on to tthe flowing mane.
 He shut his eyes and held his breath as he sped by the place of that ter rife, deadly encounter.
 On and on and on they sped until the exhausted horse stopped in front of Mir. Randolph's door.
 His tale was soon gaspingly told. He tainted then and knew no more for forty-eight long hours. So still he lay they thought him dead.
 MT. Randolph sent his men out and had the frozen corpse brought iii. The sheriff was notified and the coun- try side was in a fever of excitement.
 
 The descending sun paused on the brink of the ragged horizon to spy out the sneaking Black. Impatiently the william tramped up and down, up and down, securely screened behind clump of pines.
 Now and then he would pause and listen for crurching wheels. and then would stamp his feet for warmth, and thrash his breast with his arms.
 Night crept tremblingiy around him.
 He light a fire and crouched near it. He dared nO5 sleep; he must be vigil lant. The contemplated deed appeared bad now that night had come. Nights solitude is a merciless accuser; a tire less detective. It turns ones thoughts upon ones inner self. It strips the mantle of s5phis;ry from the altar of truth, and we see ourselves as God sees us.
 Black shuddered and tried in vain to sing down his fears. The wolves gathered around in bowling conrad ship, as though recognizing a distant kinship. Their red eyes glittered like polished bayonets.
 The long night passed. The morning came, slowly and fearfully, as though loathe to discover the dastarly deeds of the night. Half her time is spsnt weeping over the sins committed under the protection of her erring sister, Night. The sun sailed majestically across the buoyant sea of ether, ani bathed in the golden incense of the vesper showers; but still Iuhe wagon came not
 Another night passed, and another day was born and lived out three quarters of it's short life, when the snaaking, rascal gave up the lonely vigil, shouldered his rifle, and with disappointment mapping his face, walked towards the scou:'s home.

Consumption Cured.......

The Ballard Pulmonary ssnatorium is de- voted exclusively to the care ard treatment of patients suffering from diseases of the for those affected with consumption.
 It is located in Pasadena, California, well known as the crown of the San Gabriel Val ing on y one block from the electric line, and only two blocks from the postoffiee.
 The Sanatorlum, with one annex of 13 rooms and another of ten rooms, in close proximity to the main Institution is furnished at all times when the patients are in their rooms with pure medicated air charged win anti septics and germicides 70 that the patient breathes a healing and antiseptic stmos- phere, destroying the germs and repairing the diseased organs when the patient is asleep as well as when awake.
 tsA constant supply of antiseptic fluid is furnished to every room and distributed over large and elaborate YaporiZers, which still further charge the atmosphere to be inhaled by the patient with germ-killing and healing vapors, thus keeping up the continuous i'm halation of remedies applied direct to the seat of the disease.
 Patients at this sanatorium thus have five special advantages all of which combined are not to be had at any other known institution in lhe world, and which, too, have each been remarkably successful in restoring to health those afflicted with tuberculosis.
 1st. The continuous inhalation of air medicated SC as to constantly apply direct to the diseased surfaces, remedies calculated to destroy the germs and to heal the damaged tissues.
 2nd The specific serum treatment, admin 1stered hypodermlcally through the blood. for the express purpose of destroy ing and remOv- ing the germs which the direct cause of the disease.
 Sd. The general upbuildiug and Sevslop- ment of the patient and the special develop ment and strengthening of the weaker parts
 by a thorough and scientific orill in physical culture and pulmonary gymnastics. 4th. The valuable aids to the special advan- tages above of well appoinsed institute n, where every point is guarded snd every de- 7 pertinent and every detail all dovetailed tn- gether for the one prime object of curing the consumptive, without the abuses and errors of ordinary home life, or the dangers of pub .ic hotel life.
 5th. The natural advantages of a perfect | climate with heathful surroundings at every point, both natural and artificial. The re suits obtained at this Sanstorium. with these combined methods of treatment snd natural advantages are very gratifying, and so-called incurab c consumptives are cured, or very much improved. and after a reasonable so- journ here are able to go away with the dis ease checked and able to resume business or
 enjoy life with comparative comfort. Write for literature.

MRS, KINGSBURY DISCHARGED
no EVIDENCE TO CONNECT HER
WITH HER HUSBANDS MURDER.
states Attempt to Prove Motive and
Conspiracy Utterly Failed When
Evidence Was Taken

Waco Texas. August l7.-Mrs. Eva
Kingsbury, widow of Myron Kingsbury
who was murdered at his home July 80,
was discharged today by Judge S. r.
Scott. Mrs. Kingsburys bond was fixed
at $4,000 by the examining court yesterday
but defendant made no e2rrt 90 give bail
She remained in the care OF an officer
until this morning, when she applied for
a writ OF habeas corpus asking for a dis
charge. Judge Scott heard the evidence
and decided that 1t was not sufficient
to hold her. The court stated that the
only evidence against defendants pointed
to an accessory after the fact in that
she sought to conceal the guilty party.
but that owing to her relationship to the
party accused as principal (wno is her
tather) she was exempt under the law
from prosecution as accessory The State
sought to connect her with a conspiracy
but the court announced at the conclusion
that there was no evidence tending to
show her connection with a conspiracy,
hence the discharge.
The failure of the state to prove con-
spiracy dlsposes of complications and
confirms the story of Duncan McLennan,
the aged defendant, who confessed to
the killing. All the testimony introduced
tended to confederate his statement that
he and his son. Duncan, Jr., went to
Kingsbury's home and became Evolved in
a fight with Myron Kingsbury; that he
killed his son through mistake and that
Mrs. Kingsbury knew nothing about it
until the killing had been done. Her
failure to give the alarm Immediately
was cited by the prosecution as circum-
stantial proof of prior knowledge and the
State sought to show a motive in the
large amount of life insurance and con-
jugal estrangement. The evidence, how
ever, shows that Mrs. Kinsbury had very
little knowledge Of the insurance policies
and suspected that they had been trans
ferred to another beneficiary. So the
motive failed and the conspiracy theory
fell 20 the ground
Duncan McLennan. the aged father o.
Mrs. Kings5ury, is still in Jail. having
never asked for bond. He is growing very
feeble and is not expected TO stand the
confinement much longer.
