A BLOODHOUND IN ACTION.
unerring Work by a Dog Valued at a
 Thousand Dollars.

| unerring Work by Dog Valued at a
 Thousand Dollars.
 | "I had an opportunity to observe the efficiency of the bloodhound as an in- strument for tracking criminals while I was at Wichita" said 8 Macon att torney the other day on returning from a trip into Kansas.
 "An atrocious crime had been com mitted out in the suburbs The sheriff was promptly notified and he respond ed immediately with his large, sombre assistant. The dog was taken into the house and to the room where the crime occurred. It immediately started out with a bound cleared the fence and dashed into the timber with the sheriff and others following close behind. The | hound ran to a stream, where it ap- peared to be mystified for a few min utes. It ran up and down the banks, | panting and Wagging it's tail neryously Suddenly it caught the trail again and dashed onward up the bank of the stream, ran around a tree, shot over a. brush pile and then took bee line for town.
 From this time on it never faltered nor seemed to be in doubt for mo- ment. The trail led to mammoth grain elevator. The dog burst into side door without hesitation, and darted for the steps, dashlng the surprised workmen right and left. It went clear up to the topmost floor of the elevator, circled around a few times and then darted down another way. When it reached the bottom floor it ran out on the sidewalk, through the business part of town and then to the boarding dis trict. It was blocked by a closed door at a small boarding house, but when the officers caught up with the dog they had the door opened The hound ascended the steps at q bound and went directly to a room occupied by one of the board- CTS, pushed the door open with his fore feet and attacked the clothes of a man who was in bed asleep.
 'The savage groWls woke the man up and he yelled loudly for protection The sheriff entered the room just in time to seize the dog and pull him from the mans throat. By this time a large crowd had congregated at the entrance of the boarding house and was impa- tiently awaiting the appearance of the quarry. The sheriff telephoned for guards before attempting to remove his man to jail. A patrol wagon came and the prisoner and dog were seated in it, surrounded by policemen with drawn revolvers. When the start was made for the jail the crowd must have num- bered fully 1,500. They were vocferous- ly demanding that the prisoner be im- mediately hung, but there was no leader and lynching was averted. During the drive the dog never for an instant took its eyes from the trembling victim. So perfect was the hounds work and so thoroughly had it terrorized the prison er that he confessed to the crime soon after he was placed in jail.
 T was informed that the bloodhound was worth s1,000 and was one of the best in the state. It was not a very prepossessing animal but when it was in action, like courageous soldier it looked much better than 1t did when on dress parade. From the Kansas City Journal.

THE ORIGINAL JUDGE LYNCH A
 PIONEER AND PATRIOT

"Tradition sometimes plays strange pranks with the dead mems reputa-
 tion" says Thomas Walker Page; in the
 December Atlantic. Tt would make
 an interesting half hour for the caves
 dropper beyond the Styx if he could
 hear the exchange of amenities be-
 tween Duns Scotus and Judge Lynch,
 the one a shrewd, clearer reasoner,
 whose name now signifies a fool; the
 other simple Quaker gentleman,
 whose name has come to stand for or
 ganized savagery. Charles Lynch was
 man whose services to his country
 as brave pioneer and righteous
 judge, as soldier and a statesman, are
 by no means deserving of oblivion, still less of obloquy. It seems. indeed, one of the iniquities of fate that his name should now be universally applied to
 proceedings that no one would con- demn more heartily than he. The rec ords of the Court of Bedford County, in Virginia and those of various Quaker meetings, the journals of the Virginia House of Burgesses and of the first Constitutional Convention, taken to- gether with family documents and tra- ditions, show him to have been an up- right and useful member of society and a wise and energetic leader at the most important crisis of American history
 Colonel Lynch's proceedings in Bed ford the Legislature pronounced to be illegal but justifiable, were initiated in other parts of the state and came to be known by the name of Lynchs law. In Justice to Colonel Lynch it should be remembered that his action was taken at a time when the state was in the throes of a hostile invasion. The whole executive department was in a state of partial paralysis. It was, therefore, no spirit of insubordination or disregard of the law that induced Lynch to act as he did. There was few men living more inclined than this simple Quaker farm CT to render due respect in word and deed to the established authorities.
 But the seed that had been sown sprung up and bore evil fruit. When a legislative body has expressly admitted that circumstances may arise under which breaches of its laws are justif- able it has enunciated a dangerous It struck deep root in the minds of Lynch's fellows on the western frontier, and they transmitted it to their descendants, who carried it con- stantly with them as they rolled that | frontier back to the westward and | southward It is the principle on which | it is attempted to justify the practice | of lynching to the present day; men be- lieye that circumstances may erise un-

LOOK UP.

Just when your Hope, prostrated, Lies with her tangled hair, Shrouding her face of sorrow Just when you feel despair; Sunbeams anear may be shining, Brighter than ever you know, While a powerful love, is divining, The way for your feet to go. 
 Just when you lay on your pillow, With eyes over-full, of hot tears, Dropping, like branch of the willow, And thinking of perishing years The dark sad anear may be breaking, With the faces of flowers most fair, Their odor your heart will be taking. And lifted the trouble and care.

There was no means of identifying
it, and of course she had no idea
where she lost it. But an ad In the

it was quickly restored to the owner.
