Joseph Jefferson at IL.

'In Florida, where Ponce de Leon
failed to discover the Fountain of Per-
petual Youth, Joseph Jefferson seems to
have found it, declares James S.
Metcalfe, in the Ladies Home Journal
for July. He is picturesque figure.
His ruddy cheeks and bright eyes give
the lie to his seventy-two years He
is slender, but not with the leanness
of age. His hair, mostly black,
streaked only here and there with gray,
and in length showing wholesome
contempt for the fine art of the barber,
blows about in the breeze His fingers
are as quick and def at knotting line
or adjusting a sinker as those of boy
on the banks of a stream, and he
enters into every detail with boyish
enjoyment. His fishing he alternates
with landscape painting, writing and
the care of plants. In none of these
pursuits does he claim professional
SKILL but he brings to them something
more than professional zest. Mr..
Jefferson is very abstemious man.
In eating, as in other things-except
occupation in the open air-he evil
IDENTIFY believes in moderation as a
means to well living. He did not join
in our after luncheon smoke, stating
that if he had not given up tobacco a
good many years ago he felt sure that
he would not be with us now. What
ever the secret of his long and useful
life, it is safe to say that every one of
his countless friends and admirers
would be glad to lengthen it by full
fllment of his own Rips favorite bene-
diction; Here's his health and his
familys and may they live long and
prosper.

While reading the testimony In the
Massey trial keep this in mind: The
killing is directly traceble to whisky.
Walter Vaughan, whom Massey is
accused Of killing, would be alive to-

whom Massey accuses of firing the
fatal shot, would be alive to-day,
but for whitkey. Massey, instead

yet, with all this hideous history be-

for keeping open the doors Of these

ON TRIAL
FOR HIS LIFE.
Case Against Sam Massey Called in
the Circuit Court
The DEFENDANT ON THE STAND.
He Says Bartender Boggan Killed

tlates His Statements.

Another murder trial that will at
tract a great deal of interest. was
called IN the Circuit Court Wednesday.
This Is the case Of the State vs.
Sam Massey, charged with murder in
the fist degree, for the killing of Con-
stable walter Vaughan in a saloon at
Mt. Pleasant several months ago. The
killing, it will be remembered, caused
a great deal of excitement and much
feeling against Massey at the tire
Robert BC~gan, a bartender. and a
negro driver, were The orr eve ". T.
n5sses to the affair and were the two
principal witnesses for the State.
Stree that time Boggan has been killed,
and the negro has ieft the State, all
efforts to get him back proving futile.
Thus the State had to go to trial
without its most important witnesses
At the mornings session of the
court, the jurors were chosen and the
witnesses sworn, and the taking of
testimony was begun that afternoon
The jury was impanneled as follows
after quite a number had been called
W. R. Foster, A. b. HARRISON,
Jethro Anderson. Alfred Gardner,
Tom Harris, r. R. Butler, E. W..
Letsinger J. A. Baker, O. H. Z. Null
lens, G. NJ. V. Kinzer, W. J. Nesbit,
M. L. Eddy.
The case is being prosecuted by At
torney- General Boyd, assisted by Capt.
J. Il. Russell, and the defendant is
represented by Messrs. Dining & Din
ming.

BOggan replied, Come, get this
pistol. Russell got the pistol, and
the men were then separated, he talk

Vaughan lying upon his back i'm the
little room. He saw Smith as soon as
he went into the saloon, but didn't see
him any more. Before the killing. he
saw Smith and Massey going from
Wiley's saloon TO Rosenthals He
talked with Vaughan, who stated that
Massey had shot him.

The anti saloon League Of Ohio fought
Lieut. Gov. Caldwell in 1899, and caused
him to run several thousand votes be
hind his ticket. This week they opposed
his denomination for the same office in
Ohio, and the Republicans in State
Convention assembled, left him off their
ticket. That shows what the anti saloon
forces can do when they organize and
try. We hope they will organize and try
in Tennessee next year.
