while. and so 1t came to pass that a
Boer commando retook the lines where
those who died for us were lying, and
as they marched among our dead they
saw sergeant lying at full length,
shot through the brain. yet even in
death the man looked like some fight

order. His rifle was pressed against
his shoulder, his left hand grasped the
barrel on the under side, the forcing
er Of the right hand pressed the trig-
ger lightly, the barrel rested upon q
rock and his death-dulled eye still
glared along the sights, for dissolution
had come to him just as he bent his
head to fire at those who shot him, and
now his hands had stiffened in the I'M
bendable stiffness of eternal sleep. A
Boer soldier saw the sergeant as he lay

by the barrel and tried to jerk 1t from

VACCINATION.
How the Discovery of the Preventive
Virus Was Made and Applied.

How the Discovery of the Preventive
Virus Was Made and Applied.
Duringthe eighteenth century it was
common talk among the country peo-
pie of England and Scotland that milk
ers of cows never had the smallpox.
At time when this disease was one
Of the scourges of Europe such a
fact naturally attracted attention.
Physicians In the cities did not regard
the country notion as worthy of notice.
When an epidemic threatened they in
oculated healthy persons with small
pox virus to give them the disease.
Then 1t was treated from the start
under favorable conditions. The chief
effect of the method was to make the
lnocuated person certain he was to be
seriously i'll, while the uninoculated
might possibly escape. Jonathan Ed
wards wns one of the famous victims
of incubation.
1t was left for an obscure country
physician, DIR. Jenner. to recognize the
scientific Importance of the tradition
about the immunity Of mixers. BY
his experiments In 1706 he proved that
incubation with cowpox virus carried
protection against smallpox. He wrote
pamphlet on his experiments and
sent 1t to the Royal College of Physi-
clans In London. The manuscript was
returned with contemptuous reply.
The discovery was of too great import
ance not to make an impression, and
during the fifth year after his first vac
cination Jenner and other doctors vac
cnated 10000 persons in England.
In spite of the success of the process
there were many in the early part OF
the century who doubted its efficacy.
The experience of the last thirty years
has demonstrated the value of vaccina-
ton beyond the possibility of doubt.

PecuIfarfties of Crime.

One of the strangest peculiaritles q
human nature Is Its inclination to
initiate the misdeeds Of others. Crime
is epidemical. particularly dreadful
murder, the details of which are set
forth In all the newspapers, often has
the effect of inducing similar crimes.
One OF the reasons, and probably the
chief reason. why public executions
were abolished In England, was that
instead of acting as a deterrent the
execution had the contrary effect of
melting to murder.
In 1885 a woman OF Geneva, named
lombard, killed her four children.
She admitted that she had been read
ing of a woman who killed her hus-
band, and the very clrcumstantial ac-
count had made her wish to initiate the
crime, but as her husband was dead
she killed the children. This is only
one instance out Of hundreds which
have come to our notice.
The infectious nature Of self murder
receives a striking testimony In the
following incident: DIR. 0ppenheim of
Hamburg had to examine the body of a
man who had cut his throat and had
died after some days of suffering. The
medico told his assistant that death
would have been Immediate II the man
had made the cut In a way which he
illustrated. and he was startled two
days later TO learn that his assistant
had attempted to commit suicide by
lacerating himself In that very manner.
The man admitted that he had never
thought of suicide until the day of the
examination and the doctors remark

that the White home had been fired
into. Mrs. Bette White, the aged In
valid mother of the White boys. rose
from her bed, and calling her daugh-
ters to her side knelt with them In
prayer. She thinks she was spared on
account of her petition to the Heaven
ly Father. But the wait Mt the White
store was not long. Again the bullets
whistled through the building, and
the yolley was repeated time and time
again. Lets fire ino that door and
see II they will answer" voice was
heard. The Whites crouched lower,
but for some reason the yolley did not
come. They would have been killed
had the suggestion been acted upon.
Sheriff Sutton arrived at midnight
from the county seat at Williamsburg
with force of deputies. and spent the
night In the store with the White boys.
From the time of the explosion no one
inside dared strike n light, and In utter
darkness the night was spent.
Morning dawned. and outside the
store was found the body OF Susan
Cox. The woman had tried to climb
side fence I'm order to reach Rolla
White and warn him. Two bullets had
stopped her. They plowed their way
through her brain and she fell, face
down, to the ground. Two days she lay
unburied. She was a woman OF bad
character, had left no friends and no
money and the town was bankrupt. A
private subscription finally was taken
up and the body buried In the com
mons In plain wooden box.

There has broken out In Corbin, KY,
n real old-fashioned feud. One with love
as n beginning, and hate, murder and
death as an ending. In the very begin
ming of 1.-THE first battle-two men
and woman have been killed, one
house has been blown up with dyna-
mite, another riddled with bullets, and
several people are in Jail charged with
murder. 1t is n feud which has every
prospect'of long life and is marked with
all the wild passions and send-savagery
which have so long characterized the
mountaineers of Kentucky.
The story of the love of Rolla White
for Jane Shotwell would read much as
other love affairs where the father of
the girl objected, were II not for the
fact of the peculiar temperament of the
mountain people, and their custom,
from time immemorial, of taking the
law Into their own hands and them
selves demanding and taking ian eye
for an eye and tooth for a TOOTH"
Six years ago the Whites moved to
Corbln from their Virginia home. There
were the three sons, two daughters, and
the aged mother. The boys-Bill, Roach
and RoDa established a restaurant and
store In one part of the town and a
hotel In the other. They lived as peace
full citizens until the present tragedy.
The Shotwells have been residents of
Corbin for about the same length of
time. Their family home is at Rock
hold about ten miles away. The father,
James Shotwell. set up -four and saw
mill on his arrival In Corbin, John
Shotwell and the other boys aided
their father In the milling bust
ness. The Shotwells did not lead
the same quiet life as the Whites,
and were frequently In shooting
affairs. In October 1897, the Shot
well boys figured in street fight In
which Police Judge Moffett was killed
and W. s. Holland badly wounded.
Holland was the man who had quar-
relied with the Shotwell boys, and they
ran him into building and riddled him
with bullets. Judge Moffett was killed
by a shot from within the house. Last
February they figured In another riot,
In which Deputy Marshal Henry Hart
ford was killed.
