birds. "Some are the most arrant little

So consistent was he in his determina-

Tramp. One morning 1 broke the tub,
and in its place 1 took n shallow blue

Tramp eyed me for n moment with all
his old hostility, and then as he caught
sight of the pretty dish he few down
from his perch with chirps of joy and
darted into the water before 1 could
take my hand from the cage.
II had found the way to his heart,

Railroad Mans Prayer.

An old railroad man, having been
converted, was asked to lead in prayer.
The following was the response: 20
Lord, now that have tagged thee, lift
up my feet from the rough road of life
and plant them safely on the deck of
the train of salvation. Let me use the
safety lamp known as prudence, make
all the couplings in the train with the
strong link of thy love and let my
hand lamp be the Bible, and. heavenly
Father, keep all switches closed that
lead off the sidings, especially those
with a blind end. o Lord, If 1t be thy
pleasure, have every semaphore block
along the line show the white line of
hope that 1 may make the run of life
without stopping. And, Lord. give us
the Ten Commandments for q sched-
ule, and when 1 have finished the run
on schedule time and pulled into the
great dark station of death may thou,
the Superintendent of the universe,
say, We'll done, thou good and faithful
servant; come and sign the pay roll and
receive your check for eternal happi-
ness "-Railroad Gazette.

CUERRY ADDERTON
GIVEN DISCHARGE
After Preliminary Trial Upon Charge
Of Murder.
TESTIMONY OF THE WITNESSES
Not Such as to Require Bond and
Warrant Is Dismissed - Charge Of
Carrying Concealed Weapons the
Only One Remaining Against Him.

Query Adderton walked out of the
courthouse yesterday morning, exon
Grated of the charge of murder so far
as the preliminary examination into
the killing of Charles d. Mize is con-
cerned, Judge Charles r. Crisp dis.
missing the warrant IN which he was
thus accused.
The trial aroused much interest and
the court room was crowded.
Mr.. Adderton appeared in court at
the appointed hour accompanied by
his counsel, Judge Hixon. His head
was still swathed in bsndages pro-
tecting the wound received Monday
night.
Solicitor Hooper announced ready
for the state and the examination of
the three or four witnesses desired was
begun. The testimony of all of these
was practically the same published by
the Times-Recorder as having been
adduced at the coroner's inquest last
Tuesday.
There was nothing the least sensa-
tional brought out yesterday.
At the conclusion of the trial, last
ing perhaps an hour, Judge Crisp dis
missed the warrant charging murder
but ordered the sheriff to take q bond
of $50 from MIR. Adderton for carrying
concealed weapons, this referring to
the pistol used on the night Of the
tragedy
Mr.. Adderton left the courtroom
with bis friends, for his home, and I'M
less the grand jury should see proper
to Investigate the case further the trial
yesterday morning ended it.
