straining Fishing or Hunt
ing for Profit.
Judge R. E. Maiden has granted
temporary injunction against Al
bert Wallace, ]. S. Shaw, Frank
Sparks, and Walter Pleasant IN
favor of ]. c. Harris, of Tiptonville,
proposed owner of Reelfoot Lake
prohibiting the above-named gem
tlemen from hunting and fishing
on the lake, or buying game and
fish for profit. These gentlemen
have been running a fishery, buy
ing and selling fish and game.
Mai. Harris, proposed owner OF the
lake, granted to J. c. Burdick the
exclusive fishing and hunting priv
leges tor profit on the lake tor
term of three years, for which Bur
dick is to pay Harris, according to
their contract, ST, 500 per year, and
is to protect him in the privileges
granted, to prohibit all others from
hunting or fishing for a profit un-
less they sell their fish and game
to Burdick. The temporary inJunc-
ton will be decided by Chancery
Judge John S. Cooper at his next
term, which will probably be in
April, and it matters not which
way the case goes it will be carried
to the Supreme Court, which has
already decided on some points as
to the ownership of the lake and
the rights of the State and citizens
thereto. The case will be watched
with interest by the people OF this
county, who believe generally that
the lake is or should be the proper
ty of the State, and it is predicted
by some that the next Legislature
will claim ownership, and prohibit
all fishing and hunting on the lake
except for pleasure.

The young man had returned from
his wedding trip, and was again at his
desk in the office.
1t was the day after his return that
the Junior partner called him to his
desk and said:
Now that you're married, Mr.. Quills,
l trust you will be considerate in your
treatment of me-"
Il don't quite understand you, sir!"
exclaimed the young man, in surprise
"Oh, it's little early, l know" ad-
mitted the Junior partner, but there's
nothing like taking time by the fore
lock. l suppose you haven't been out
late at night YETI
"Certainly not, sir"
'And it's none of my business if you
have. But when you do stay out some
night, be cousiderate Remember that

humane treatment of everybody in this
office that / would like to retain. Don't
tell your wife that you're sorry you're
late, but that that siave-driver at the
office piled work upon you to such an
extent that you had to work right into
the night; don't tell her that the tyrant
you work under gave you one-and-six-
pence for dinner. and told you that
you would have to post all the books
in the office before leaving for the
night. Just invent some other excuse,
you know"
The young man thought the matter
over for n minute or two, and then
asked, anXiouSly:
We'll, if l should be late. what shall
I say?"

l do. He can stand it.'-Tit-Bits.

Curious Time Locks.

In the middle ages the cunning
craftsmen in metal work We're wont
to eXpend much skill and ingenuity
IN the designing of locks constructed
in such manner as to battle the at
tempt of any but the initiated to open
the doors they guarded. The most
common of these, perhaps, We're the
Apostle Locks" so called because
they were adorned in front with a tiny
figure of one OF the apostles and the
bolts would fly back only when the
hand, the head or some particular part
of the drapery of the figure was
touched.
In the reign of Queen Elizabeth, u
certain smith. named Mark ScaliSt,
fashioned u lock so diminutive that,
although it consisted of eleven pieces
of iron, steel and brass. it weighed,
together with Il pipe key, just two
grains of gold. The Marquis of Wor-
cester. a famous inventor who lived
in the time of Charles l., is said to
have devised a lock containing a steel
barb which was perfectly harmless so
long as the right key was used, but
if a wrong key We're inserted the barb
sprang through the key-hole and
caught the hand of the intruder as
a trap catches a fox" The story goes
that while the marquis was one day
experimenting with this curious lock
he was not quite nimble enough in re
moving his hand and was ignominious.

1t has often been said that steam
the ocean. But glance at the actual
condition shows this to be an empty
generalization. over one third of all the
tonnage now icing produced in this
country is sailing tonnage, and so
great is the revival of sailing ships
abroad that the Clyde is now turning
out more sailing vessels than steam
The rise in the price of coal and the
high cost of operating steam vessels
is serving to bring the wind again into
strong competition with steam.

WIFE OF BANDIT JAMES.
Her Death Reminds Acquaintance of
Incidents in the Mans Life.

Her Death Reminds Acquaintance of
Incidents in the Mans Life.
''I see by the papers that Mrs. Jesse
James is dead" said a former resident
! of Missouri. Poor woman! she had q
stormy life. She was the daughter Of
| a very respectable farmer, and ran
away from school to marry the bandit
at time when his name was invested
with a glamor of romance. Frank
James, his brother also married a su-
perior woman. She was the daughter
of Major Rawlston, a wealthy old
planter of Independence, Mo-, and had
been the belle of the town. Mrs. Jesse
stuck to her renegade husband through
thick and thin, and was living with
him. on the outskirts of ST. Joe. Mo-,
when he was killed by Bob Ford, ten
years ago.
"a thousand stories have been written
about that tragedy, but 1 doubt wheth-
er the exact truth was ever told. Ford
was a gawky country boy of about
eighteen and Jesse's second cousin. At
that time there was a $4,000 'dead-or-
alive reward for the bandit, and Ford
made a secret deal with the authori-
ties to get him. He joined the ST. Joe
household on the strength of his rela-
tionship, aided by his brother Charley.
who was already living there. and
waited patiently for a chance to kill
the outlaw Months afterwards 1
heard him relate a little incident of
that vigil which always impressed me
as being peculiarly dramatic. Jesse
had taken quite liking to the awk-
ward lad, and the two used to go to
st. Joe together to buy supplies and
get the Kansas City Times. for which
the bandid subscribed. One day, ac-
cording to Ford's story, they went to
the provision store where they usually
dealt, and Jesse sat down by the stove
to read his paper. While his head was
buried in the sheet. 1t flashed across
the treacherous boys mind that now
was his chance, and he reached softly
for his pistol. In another moment he
would have sent shower of bullets
crashing through the paper, but just
then James saw something in it that
made him angry. and he dashed it
abruptly to the floor. Whatever that
item was. it heightened his life said
Ford coolly, for it was over a month
before l got an opening to kill him.
Ford was pardoned and was himself
assassinated at Creede. Col. His
brother Charley committed suicide
with the pistol that killed James. The
last time I saw Mrs. Jesse was in
Kansas City, about five years ago. She
was "a frail, cOnsumptive-looking wo-
man, with grayish-blonde hair and q
few pathetic ira ces of former beauty"

Twenty thousand dollars i'll twenty
years of sweeping and scrubhing, that
is the astounding record made by Sa-
rah Corey, an employe of the Wal
than hosiery mills. and revealed by
her will.
She was seventy-two years old, and
at that age could hardly be expected
to do much in the fortune making way
but if anybody in Waltham thought
she was poor. her will and the entries
in some twenty bank books have made
him change his mind.
A few days ago she died, and when
the will was opened it was found that
her sister in return for twenty years
of homemalling, was left $1,000
To a sister, Ann" Corey, who, it is
said. never existed, she left $500.

''I'he most finished orator in the

these is national. one was half an

eloquent criticism of Ambassador Bay
ard, at the time Bayard was making
himself unpopular by his pro English
remarks at London dinners. The other
was less than five minutes long, and
was spoken after the destruction OF
the Maine. Cousins sat silent in his

The submarine boat has won its way
to grudging recognition by the British
Admiralty, and u formal official trial
of a newly invented craft of this class
is to be held shortly under the direc-
ton of a board of British naval Off
GERS. Experience has already shown
that the Zede boat in France and the
Holland in America are capable of
overcoming the chief difficulties en-
countered in submarine navigation
running on an even keel: maintaining
a fair rate of speed over a considera-
BILE radius of action, and provision for
certain and deadly offensive powers.
The elaborate tests to be undertaken
by the British naval authorities should
contribute materially to the stock of
expert information in regard to this
new factor in maritime warfare.

1t is somewhat surprising to read in
the report of the Treasurer of the
United States that the coin ofthe realm
that is most extensively counterfeited
nowadays is not the silver and nickle
pieces, but the copper one-cent pieces
During the year there We're detected
and destroyed at the Office of the treas
ury $11. .146 in counterfeit silver coins,
notes and certificates, 32T7 tive-cent
pieces and 12f .652 one-cent pieces, aud
the number of spurious minor coins
in circulation is rapidly on the in
crease. Counterfeit gold coins are
rare, only thirteen having been pre-
sented at the treasury during the year.
1t looks as if the counterfeiters were
putting themselves to u good deal of
trouble ut Il very small profit.

A woman writing in the Education

A woman writing in the Education
al Review rebukes the disposition of
college women to go to teaching for a
living without special fitness for the
work. School-work being commonly
that nearest at hand. it is most in
favor, though according to the presi-
dent of Western college for women,
the record of college women demon
strates i'll general their ability for
managerial office. Says this president:
college women have more executive
ability than college men. The girls
pay their bills and keep their college
finances in much better shape than the
boys. 1 would have girls stay out
of teaching, and 20 into work that re-
quires executive ability
