concluded to proceed quietly.
After he came out four more
shots were fred, and he ran from
the danger, being without any
means of self defense. Mr.. Hall
wore new Stetson hat and had
wiped the perspiration off his
forehead and set the hat back for
comfort. The bullet cut slit
through the brim of the hat that
a 3S callibre bullet passes through
very snugly. Mr.. Hall doesn't
like newspaper notoriety but the
incident has contributed to his
popularity as a coal salesman and
he is everywhere accosted to tell
his experience. Like all the
Hopkins county coal companies,
the Oak Hill company refuses to
employ union labor and has been
the subject of threats made by
agitators and walking delegates.
Mr.. Hall does not know of any
personal enmity toward himself
except from this source. He is
wearing a straw hat now.

A MOUNTAIN GIRL.
Original Story, Written for THE BEE.
BY "TlMMlE."

Way up the side of Chilhowee
mountain in East Tennessee
stands an old-time double log
house. Back of the house the
mountain rises to a height of five
hundred feet, but the ascent is
gradual, and the ground, although
broken, is covered with a growth
of scrub oak, while the poison
Gus laurel grows in luxuriant pro-
fusion and wild cucumber bios
SONS scent the evening air. A
small clear stream goes leaping
and laughing down the mountain
side, watering the green valley
below. 1t is the bewitching
hour of twilight, the god of day
has long been hid behind old
Chilhowee's lofty peaks, the
cows are coming slowly along
the shady lane, stopping from
time to time to crop the succulent
grass that grows along the way.
Within the house all is excite
ment and confusion, for this
night was one long to be remem-
bered in the household of David
Griffin. His seventeen-year-old
daughter, Sue, was TO be mar
ried to Ben Lowery. a country
school teacher who had been in
the mountains only six months
and was boarding with Griffin.
Lowery was man of pleasing
address and a really handsome
man, and knew the ways of the
world. He found it a compare
lively easy matter to win the
heart of unsophisticated, mother
less Sue, who believed every
word he uttered as if it were
Holy Writ. The summer had
been one unbroken dream of de-
light to her. The long walks
down the shady lanes, while he
whispered soft words of love and
constancy into her too willing
ears. There was one beautiful
spot up the mountain side, cool
and shady where the earth was
carpeted with soft moss, and the
music of the murmuring brook
could be heard, (thev had named
the place ''Love's Bower,') and
in this place she had spent the
happiest hours of her short life.
Whenever an opportunity pre-
sented itself, they would steal
away to "Love's Bower" and sit
for hours, he reading to her the
soft sweet, melodies of Thomas
Moore.
She was thinking tonight of
the time he had taken her in his
arms and drew her 1.-THE,

They Are All StalWs,ts.

The following is the substance of
an account of n recent disgracelul
affair at Madison as given by the
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin,:
Four members of the Senate are involved
in a scrape which may have some disagreeable
consequences aside from the scandal which an
exposure would create. Anna Held and her
bunch of artists recently gave show in this
town a1d after The show was over there was a
side entertainment which ssvored somewhat
of the kind which is becoming more or less
common with the stag element. Several of
the fairest Of Anna Held's outfit accepted invi-
tations to act as principals in the stag party,
which was held in u room just off the Capitol
SQUARE There was wine in abundance and u
generous lunch was provided The room they
occupied was under the Dane county telephone
Office About 2:30 in the morning the hello
girls heard female shrek of Murder, help!'
from below They telephoned the police sta
ton and three officers arrived. One senator
was defiant and abusive. with the result that
he was taken TO the station and spent little
time in a cell Another senator was also taken
IN charge hy an officer, but not locked up.
Chief of Police Baker was reused out Of bed Mt
home, the matter was fixed up, and the sena-
tors after short sleep. got busy trying to
hush II up.
The names of these four senators
are withheld, but it is learned thar
they all belong to the coterie known
us 'stnlwarts" that has been So active
in opposition toprimary election bills
and otherwise in antagonizing the
governor. This doubtless explains
why the Milwaukee Journal, which
pridts Itself on giving "all the news,
and its echo, Charley Pfister's Senti-
mel, failed to mention the disgraceful
affair. In the room where the seance
was held are three or four beds. More
than dozen empty champaign bot
ties were found there the next morn

more than their share of taxation

their failure to do anything in the

FRANCE NOT DEGENERATE.

In spite of what may have been written to the contrary, France has, ever since the disaster of 1870, quiet and succeeded in organizing an army which the greatest German military authorities declare to be the most formidable and the best armed in Eu- rope; and I will add this, in justice to France. that she has not gathered together and trained that. army of 1,500, ,oO0 men to attack anyone, but to protect herself, says Max O'Rell in the London Mail.
 The Germans know all this, and strain every nerve to remain at peace with us, seeking our friendship more and more every day. That army in the hands of Napoleon III. might be danger to Europe, but not in the hands of nation now mistress of her destinies, who would use it only if of her honor or her territory. De- generation, forsooth! Let me assure you that there is no degenration, ex- cept in the imagination of few writers in search of the sensational.
 The France of this century, the France of Gay-Lussac, Lavoisier, Al fred de Musset, Lamartine, Victor Hugo, Ernest Renan, Pasteur, that France, greater than ever in all the arts of peace, now more formidable than ever in the art of war, is we'll worth . kind word and an act of eourtesy at tho hands of the great English people.
