Smugglers Fooled.

Even Saxon courtesy may be carried
a little too far. When about to return
from a Bohemian village 10 frontier
town in Saxony, the occupants Of a
sledge had their foot-warmers carefully
rinsed out and replenished with full
bodied Hungarian wine. Thus they
passed the guard post without let or
hindrance to the merry jingling Of the
sleigh bells. Laughing and joking at
the success of their little dodge, they
called at a wayside inn for refresh
ments. On resuming their seats one OF
the party exclaimed:
why, the foot-warmers are quite
hot!"
Then the boots Of the inn stepped
forward and said, with frienEy grin:
1.-THE foot-warmers were quite cold,
gentlemen, so, just tc oblige you. ]

NEGRO CUTS
GIRLS THROAT.
Child l3 Years Old As
sauIted And Then H0r.
ribly Murdered. ..

Chilicothe. Ohio. May 22.-The
most atrocious crime that has been
committed in this country for years
was done this afternoon when the
pretty thirteen-ycar-old daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen Long was
assaulted and then murdered by a
negro.
Ethel had been sent 10 the spring
near the house to get bucket OF
water, and as she did not return
her little brother was sent to look
for her. He discovered her lifeless
body, with the throat cut from ear
to ear, lying near the spring, and
at once gave the alarm. The girl S
father was working in a neighbor-
ing field, and, frenzied by grief,
headed a party searching for the
murderer. They soon got track OF
a negro who had been seen near
the place, and dragged him back
to the scene of the crime.
1t was found that his clothing
was stained with blood and that
his shoes fitted the fresh tracks
about the girls body. Prepara-
tons were made to lynch him on
the spot. but just then the authori-
ties arrived, and, after spirited
struggle, succeeded in getting the
man away, threw him into buggy
and drove away.

COPPER TOE NOW EXTINCT.
How the boot Protector Was Invent
ed by Maine Farmer.

Children kick out the toes of their
boots now just as much as they ever
did, but the copper toe has gone out of
date too long ago to talk about. 1t was
fine, though, in its day. How the cop
per did wink and glitter in the fire.
light! Away up In the Maine woods
farmer who could not bear the thought
Of giving the shoemaker all he earned
took an old copper washbOller and cut
1t into strips, which he fastened on the
toes of the boots Of Elbridge and El-
mer, Ellsworth and Eddie
"There now!' said he. Less see you
cit through them in hurry. Laws! l
never see boys so hard OH shoe leath-
err' 1t was bright idea, and the more
he thought about it the more 1t was
borne in Oh him that it was bright
idea. lie got patent on it. Elbridge
and Elmer, Ellsworth and Eddie were
kind Of ashamed to be seen In their
copper toes at first, but when the other
boys all crowded around them at the
district school and said "Gosh! Woosht
my pa would fix my boots that way"
they felt more comfortable and rather
happy. From that 1t went on till, for
the sake of peace and quietness in the
house, If for no other reason, fathers
had to buy copper toed boots for their
boys. The Maine farmer got rich and
had pie three times day and moved
to town and had haircloth sofa in the
front room and a marble topped center
table with wax flowers in glass case
on it and everything that heart could
wish.
But foolishness Is bound up In the
heart of n child, and it is part of his ma
ture to be hard on shoes. You may
beat the laws of the universe for n lit

but not for long. The day came when
the child woke up and realized that it
was being robbed of its rights guaran-
teed under the constitution. Some
thing like this. ell, "We, the children of
the United States, in convention assem-
bled, do hold these truths to be self
evident?" Not at all, not at ALL They
said: "Hee! Coppertoes! Coppertoes!'

In between the industrial floats. 1t ls
the desire of the committee to mako this
industrial parade larger than anything

Ter. the chairman of the committee, or

ures in Paris and at annual carnlyals held
in New Orleans. The confetti. brilliant
~ colored paper, is thrown every way and
on every one, producing queer effects.

STRIKERS ARE QUIET
st. Louis Car Lines Resuming
Business.
BOTH SIDES CLAIM SUCCESS.
Railway Companies Short of Hands,
but Are Rapidly Filling Places Of
strikers-TransitE Employee
Shot In the Back.

ST. LOUIS, May 23.-Yesterday was
the most quiet day of the strike, there
being no disturbance worth mentioning.
There were one or two small fights be-
tween union and nonunion men, but no.
body was hurt, and there was nothing
throughout the day that approached q
riot.
The transit company is making steady
progress in opening its lines. Twenty
four were in operation, and on nine Of
them the full complement of men and
cars was running. The Vandeyenter
avenue line, which usually does rush
ing business during the baseball and race
track season, was running, but it carried
very few passengers. People bound for
the ball game and races used the lines Of
the Suburban company, which were not
liable to interruption.
Both sides to the strike claim to be
winning and say the other must yield in
short time. Employees of the COM
pany say it lacks men, Notwithstanding
its claims to the contrary, but it is in
creasing its force every day and if pres
ent conditions continue must have its en-
tire system working within short time.
There was but one casualty due to the
strike. b. Il. Kilgore, an employee of
the transit company, was shot in the
back by an unknown man while walking
on Armstrong avenue. There was absO-
lutely no reason for the shooting, as Kill
gore did not know the men and had no
conversation with them. lie was walk
ing quietly along the street when one Of
two men who were walking 20 feet be-
hind him drew a revolver and sent bull
let into his back. Kilgore was seriously
wounded, but will recover. The COM
pany has offered reward of $1,000 for
the arrest of his assailant.
1t was said during the day that Po-
lice Officer Wrinkle had been shot in the
foot by a striker, but upon investiga-
ton it was found that the accidental dis
charge of another policeman's revolver
did the damage. Several arrests of young
men and boys We're made during the day
for the placing of bombs on the street
car tracks Meetings of the strikers
executive and grievance committees were
held, but no action of any kind was
taken. 1t was announced that no pro-
posas had been made to the company
and none had been received from it.
A mass meeting of the strikers was
held at night in Concordia hall. Prcsi-
dent Mahon Of the Street Railway asso-
citation and others made speeches.

bodies Of Clinton Foster and Edwin Judd
have been found in the Oswegatchie riv-

20 years of age. They went out for a
boat ride three weeks ago Sunday, and an
overturned boat and broken oar were
found the next day. The river was drag
ged and dynamited for the bodies, but
. without effect, and the relatives of the
young men began to believe that they
had run away. Two young men answer
ing their description were being traced
across the country and We're heard from
as late as Monday and the families We're
in hopes that these were the missing boys
when the news of the finding Of the bod
les was broken to them. Both boys were
