A FUGITIVE II YEARS.
EFFORT TO GET PARDON FOR
WAGHTSTILL ANDERSON.
nish Up In Federal ssrvics-sentenoed
to Death, He Was Rescued by 500
sIen-Has Recently Served President
Mckinley.

Every county in North Carolina is in
suspense to know the outcome of an
application now in the hands of Gov
ernor Charles B. Aycock of that state
for the pardon of Waightstill Avery
Anderson, who 16 years ago was con-
victed of murder and sentenced to be
hanged, and since then has been a
fugitive from the grasp of the law. 1t
is supposed that the federal admins
tration will exert an influence in An
dersons behalf, for though branded
as murderer he has since showed
himself to be valuable citizen, hav-
ing, during many occasions, been en-
trusted with Offices of great RESPONSE
bility.
The deed of which Anderson is
charged is the killing of man named
Ed Horton, near Asheville, N. c., dur
ing quarrel over mine. That An
derson committed the deed is fact,
he having confessed to that effect,
but according to his story it was done
in self-defense.
The trouble arose in 1884 from a
violent dispute between Edward Ray,
brother-in-law of Anderson's, and a
man named Bailey, over their respec-
tive claims to a valuable mica mine

Found Horseshoe in a Log.

A curiosity was disclosed at Work &
Yeends sawmill, Ravenna, Pa, re-
Gently. A large oak log was put
on to be sawed. A slab nearly 1S
inches in thickness was cut off the
butt. Then plank one and one-half
inches thick was severed, and the saw
started on trip through the log for
another plank of the same thickness.
When about four inches from the butt
there was cracking, buzzing and fly
ing of teeth. The saw was choked
down so that it stopped the engine.
The log was run back, and when the
saw was free it had been stripped of
all its teeth, 38 in number. The OBJ
stacle was dug out and found to be
horses's shoe. 1t was hand-turned and
in good state of preservation, prob
ably having rusted, but very little
since being covered. The supposition
is that the shoe was nailed on the
tree for hitching purposes and the
wood grew over it. 1t is said that the
age of tree can be ascertained by
counting the number of grain rings,
each grain representing a year. If
this be true the horseshoe has been
covered over half century, for So
rings were betEeen it and the bark.

Animal. Have Reasoning Power.

That animals have reasoning power,
and can recognize the approach OF
danger, is the verdict of the
supreme court of Iowa. The case in
which decision was given was
against railway company for killing
stock. In the lower court the rule of
evidence was that the statutory whis-
tie required sixty rods before crossing
public highway, and was intended
for the protection of dumb animals as
we'll as human beings, and this has
been approved by the supreme court.
The railway company contends that
the requirement of the whistle at
crossings could only be intended for
rational beings, not animals. 1t is con-
coded that short blasts of the whistle
may brighten animals off the track, but
when not in danger, to brighten them
may cause them to run on the track.
The railroad company's attorneys say
that the court confounds fright on the
part of animals with reason; neverthe-
less, if this request for rehearing be
refused, and the present opinion
stands, then the toots on the whistle
are for the benefit of stock as we'll as
human beings.

Converted the Old Bell.

For many years Father Boyle was
one of the most prominent and popular
Catholic clergymen in Washington,
where he had great reputation as
wit. Many of his most intimate friends
were Professionals and members Of
the Protestant clergy. A few months
before his death he erected a mission
airy chapel down by the navy yard and
bought at a Junk shop an old bell
which had been discarded by one of the
Presbyterian churches. He sent the
bell to foundry in Georgetown and
had several inches of metal pared off
the rim. Having thus got rid of
crack the harsh and discordant tones
of the bell became short and sweet.
Meeting Presbyterian parson not
long after Father Boyle called his at
tention to the change and the latter
could scarcely believe it was the same
bell. What in the world did you do
with that bell" inquired the Presbyte-
rian pastor, ito cause such a change
in the toner" I'VE blessed it and
blessed it and blessed it until we got
the Presbyterian devil out of it," re-
torted Father Boyle, and then it
sounded all right"

Enjoyment of . Bath the Measure Of

The cold bath, whether plunge in

the daily cold plunge. The cold bath,
besides having little or no value as

persons are endowed with sufficient

needless an expenditure of vital force.
The hot bath is just as stimulating as
the cold one, although it is not gener-

found of value as remedial measures
in fevers and kindred illness, but as a
rule they should not be taken except
under medical supervision even by the
young and vigorous.

CONDEMNED GOOD MONEY.
Treasurer Robbins of Texas Thought
1t Was All Counterfeit.

1t Was All Counterfeit.
Treasurer Robbins of the state of
Texas has sent to Chief of the Secret
Service Wilkie at Washington 1924 in
good money which he had condemned
as counterfeit. When Mr. Robbins
took charge of the Texas treasury he
found carried in the cash of the in
stitution $1,774 in counterfeit paper
money, which had accumulated for
many years. Mr.. Robbins recently Sc
cured the passage of an act by the
state legislature authorizing him to
charge this amount off his books and
send the counterfeits to Washington
for destruction. The bundle of bills
was received by Chief Wilkie and each
bill was carefully examined by Expert
Moran. Many of the counterfeits were
of very old issues, and they included
some of the finest examples of the
work of Brockway, the most skillful
counterfeiter the officials of the gov
eminent have had to contend with.
Mr.. Moran found, however, that the
bundle included $124 in good money,
including two genuine SIS notes issued
by Canadian banks. Robbins will re-
ceive 1924 in new bills, which he viii
turn into the state treasury.

Hunger and cold impel bears and
other animals whose home is in the
northern countries to sleep during the
winter months, and, according to TIL.
Volkov the famous traveller, there are
hundreds of Russian peasants who reg
ularly follow their example. These
peasants, he says, live in districts
where food is very scarce at all sea-
sons of the year-so scarce, indeed
that frequently none is to be obtained,
and the unfortunate inhabitants can
only keep from starving by gnawing
a curious kind of bread which they
make from the bark of trees. AS this
nourishment is insufficient to maintain
life very long under ordinary condi-
lions, they have been accustomed for
years to go to sleep at the beginning
of winter and not to rouse themselves
from it until the beginning of spring.
At the first sign of frost the members
of each family gather in the paternal
hut and prepare for a five or six
months sleep. In order to keep warm
they lie down beside the huge stove,
which is regularly supplied with fuel
by each Of them in turn, and thence
forth there is silence in the large,
gloomy chamber until spring comes
once more, with its promise of food.
