A Five-Year-old Murderer.

At State Line, Miss, Edmund, the
five-years-old son of DR.. w. H. Boykin,
shot and instantly killed his brother.
Roderick, aged IL years, and severely
wounded in the right arm his brother,
Tom, aged 13. The older boys were
playing with an air gun, which Ed
mund wanted, and when they refused
to give 1t to him he declared he would
shoot them. He went into the house,
got a small shotgun and put his threat
into execution. Tom saved his life by
getting behind tree.

Eight In Demons Cace.

The prediction that the four men in
carcerated in specially constructed
cell in the Ohio penitentiary at Colum-
bus, O., would attempt to kill each
other was partially fulfilled when Otis
Hurley, one of the quartet, nearly
murdered Frank O'Neil. another occu-
pant of the cage, by stabbing him with
a dagger made out of heavy wire.
O'Neil was asleep on his cot, 1t is
said, when Hurley attacked him, stab
bing him several times. His screams
brought Underwood, one of the guards,
to the cage, but not until Hurley had
sunk his dagger deep into O'Neils
shoulder and broken it Off Hurley
was locked in his cell and O'Neil taken
to the hospital, where nine wounds
were found penetrating the lung cav
ity, one being near the heart. Hurley
alleges that he stabbed O'Neil in self
defense The latter says Hurley was
lncensed because the other demons
refused to participate in his plot to
escape. Hurley was severely punished
in the ducking tub and with paddle.
O'Neil is one of the two convicts who
killed guard named Lauderbaugh a
year ago in an attempt to escape.

Possibilities of the sulus.

A man who knows a great deal about
the possibilities of the Sulu Islands said,
In discussing the trade conditions. that
the islands were developed to only per
cent. of their possibilities. According to
this there could be an export trade
amounting to the sum of $500. 900 n
month. or s77 200, 900 a year.
The iniqutous system of government
which existed during the Spanish reign
has throttled every move toward develop
Ing the Sulu group. and they have conse-
Quently been cultivated in only occasional
patches. The British North Borneo Com
pany has 100000 which 1t is ready to
throw Into the Sulus soon as things are
settled and there is no doubt that other
and far greater amounts will be rushed
into those virgin districts by British cap
italists quickly as America has ar
ranged for the protection of property and
property interests.

PREACHERS STARTLING VIEW.

The subject of the falling on OF
church attendance. especially on the
part of the men, has been for some
time a general topic among the lead
ing New York preachers. Rev. DR.. w.
S. Grove, pastor of the Church of the
Eternal Hope, advances the sartling
theory that the decline in church at
attendance is due to the fact that men
no longer believe in hell. When the
doctrine of eternal punishment was
constantly preached, with all it's hor-
rors. people went to church in the
hope of escaping the threatened ever
lasting torture; but of late years this
fear has largely been removed. Ad-
vanced theologians gradually dropped
the everlasting fire and birthstone ar
gument, and when the people ceased to
fear hell they to a large extent lost
their interest in heaven, or were will
ing to take their chances"
Rev. DR.. De Costa, the famous Epis-
copalian divine, attributes the loss in

How to Explore.

An explorer in a new country makes
most wonderful discoveries by observing
very small facts. He comes to the mouth
of a river. If the water is milk-white he
knows that 1t comes from a glacier direct,
yet he may see the glacier-beartng noun
tains and find the water quite clear. That
means that the river has lake in its
course which has filtered the water and
taken out all the mud. If the river is
muddy red it comes from country of
clay; II 1t is clear brown ii comes from
swamp or forest. If the water is hard"
when he washes his hands that means
country of limestone. BY the gravel re
knows the exact rocks which are drained
by the river. Speckled rocks. such as
granite, tell story of probable mountain
ranges, even If none are in sight; and by
the speckes the explorer can tell whether
the mountain is brand new and Jagged or
old and worn.
BY tie pebbles 1t is quite easy. with n
little practice, to read Oft the history of
n country. to guess at its age. Flints
mean II chalk forma tion; ironsand Is the
best possible Indication of gold; lavas and
basalts mean volcanic action. Terraces
along the coast mean that 1t Is rising by
jumps, as may be seen in Norway and
Chill. Where the rivers cut deep between
sheer walls on their course from the
mountains to the sea, that means that
there Is no rainfall. Modern shells on
top OF high mountains mean that the
range has only recently been lifted out of
the sea. Hummocky mountains or

OLD ROMAN INSCRIPTIONS.
Interesting Discoveries at the Tomb OF
Rornulua

Romutus,
The commission of achRologists ap-
pointed BY Minister Of Education Bacelli
of Italy TO interpret the inscribed block
found in excavating under the so-called
tomb of Romulus have published their
report The inscription dates from the
sixth century b. C.. The first line runs
from left to right. which alienation -
followed throughout This method of
writing only obtained during the first
two centuries of Roman history. The
letters are Grecian, belonging to an OBJ
solete primitive alphabet imported from
Ceres by the EtruscanS and used evident
ly by the earlier inhabitants of Rome.
The language is also obsolete, and 1t
tends to confirm the assertion of Polybiuj
that in the Forum several inscribed blocks
existed recording the laws of the kings,
the DEGREES of the high pontiff, or old
treaties, in the Grecian alphabet and in
language so different from the one sub
sequeHtly spoken in Rome that he could
not understand it. These facts prove the
enormous difficulties which the commits
stoners had to surmount in their work Of
Interpretation. They have only succeed
ed as yet In establishing that the inscrp-
ton is a lex regia of the jus sacrum,
and that ii deals with the ceremonies OBJ
served in Offering sacrifice to the gods.
They are not able to decipher the in
scription word for word, but they hope
to do so when other inscribed blocks turn
up In the. Forum excavations. enabling
them 10 institute comparisons. They are
unanimous in the opinion that the in
scriptlon in question is the Oldest one of
ancient Rome eNtant.

CRUELTY WAS HIS JOY.
The Khalifa Found His Greatest Pleas
urc In Others Suffering

In Others Suffering.
The khalifa, whose recent death lu,.y
bring peace to the Soudan, was cruel
monster, according to the evidence of
Slatin, the Austrian officer who was for
so many years one of his captives.
These appealed to the sentiments of
fear and horror, whether their victims
were natives or foreigners. The Khal-
ifa practiced upon mental terrors with
infinite malice and ingenuity. Men
were taught to believe time and again
that their execution was near at hand
and were then saved for another pc
riod of excruciating distress and fore
boding. Physical punishments actual
ly inflicted were of the most barbarous
nature. Legs and arms were Topped of
the unfortunate creatures who had
incurred the wrath of their prosecutor
and mutilated bodies were left to lie
uncared for at the public shambles.
While atrocities of this sort went on
unchecked the civil administration was
In indescribable confusion. The Khai-
ifa himself enjoyed an abundance and
satisfied every appetite. but poverty
and squalor were the portion of his
wretched subjects. Superstition was,
of course,the principal agency for hold
ing them in obedience. Their master
was regarded as the representative of
Mahdi, who was sincerely accepted as
the messenger of Mahomet. Belief in
the divine mission of both pretenders
was intensified by the victories over
the English and Egyptians, and it sane
titled their most brutal acts in the eyes
of the majority and so encouraged the
torture of those who dared murmur
against an outrageous abuse of author
ity. Thus fanaticism and fear were
welded and conspired to maintain the
abominable system from which there
seemed to be no possibility of relief ex-
cept by foreign Intervention.

feet and is built on the graceful lines
of a tiger. He is as void of conscience
as the Winchester he carried. He
would rather shoot man than eat;
If the man be an officer of the law it
was more fun to kill him than to go
to a dance. One of his boyhood pas
times was to hire in some convenient
place on the ranch in Texas and shoot
Mexican herdsmen. When a lad he
was summoned as a witness in law
suit, and not knowing what the sum-
mons meant, and not caring to take
any chances, shot and killed the officer.
After this he found it convenient to
change his residence, SO he rode up
into New Mexico and Arizona. Here
he soon became terror to everybody
in general and railroad and express
companies in particular. He admits

AN ENGINEERS LIMIT.
He Cannot Long Run Locomotive at
Tremendous Speed.


An old locomotive engineer, In reply
to the statement that $50 miles an hour
vas one of the possibilities of future
travel, says that they may build the
engines for 150-mile gait, but they
can't build the engineers. The strain
on the nerves at very high speeds is
something terrific, and anything over
fifty miles an hour is a pace which
Jars every nerve in the body. The
average engineer Is apt to break down
under the influence of many spurts at
even sixty-five miles an hour. After
such an ordeal he is completely un-
hinged, jumping when he hears unex-
pected noises like n hysterical woman.
BY those who have passed through this
experience it is believed that the strain
comes mainly through the sight The
engineer has to look straight ahead,
but at the same time, as 1t has been
expressed, "he sees things whiZZing
past on both sides out of the tail OF
his eye, and 1t is as If something had
hold of the optic nerve and was pull
ing 1t out like Il rubber band" Shad-
ows are the terror of the locomotive en-
gineer. A bird may fit across the head
light and throw n shadow down the
track as big as n box car. OF course,
it is gone in an instant, but in just that
heart beat the nerves of the engineer
have been given n shock that they may
not recover from in n week. The new
electric headlights are said to be the
worst kind of spook- producers. They
cast such sharp shadows that bug
moving over the glass will give the en-
gineer the impression of n cow lying
just in front of the pilot. At very high
speed such an experience conjures up
visions of sudden death and gives n
sledge-ha blow to every nerve
center in the body of the engineer.

athwart its horizon Is the wonderful
town of La Porte, located on Calves

Galveston in the celebrated Coast
Country of Texas. A happy trinity OF
pluck. brains and capital is here found
at work building up great deepwater
seaport city. Extensive public work is
under way including wharfs, docks and
