Died Yesterday From Shot Fired BY
Campbell.

r, A. Thetford, formerly of Ameri-
Gus and who was shot down two days
ago by town marshal Campbell, of
Phoenix City, Ala, died yesterday.
Mr.. E. Fl. Cheek, of Americus, the
father-in law of Mr.. Thetford, and who
went at once to his bedside upon learn
ing of the tragedy, arrived before death
ensued. Mr.. Thetford made an ante
mortem statement in which he alleged
that the shooting was without provo.
cation and the result of an old enmity
borne him by Campbell. On the other
hand Campbell pleads self defense, al
leging that Thetford fred the first shot.
Thetford's death wound was in the
back, the Colts revolver bullet going
entirely through his back and breast

METHOD IN COOKING EGGS.
Aunt Dtnah Sings Two Verses Of
Hymn for Soft Boiled and
Three for Hard.

Crooks are often accused of
want of method, but the Aunt
Dinah in Howard PauPs new egg
story is not open to any such re-
proach, says London Truth. In
variably when she put the eggs in
the saucepan she began singing
"Rock of Ages" and sang through
two verses. "Aunt Dinah," asked
Mr.. Paul, care there not three
verses in that hymn" "Dar is,
massa, but 1 sings only two
when l wants 'em soft and three
when / wants 'em hard"
His other egg story is good, too.
He was travelling on a PennsyI-
vania railway, and when his
breakfast was brought the eggs
were underdone. "What time are
we making on this train?" he
asked the waiter. "a mile a min
ute, sir" "Then boil the eggs
another mile and they'll be quite
right"

The Wonderful Sun.

A very wonderful and in some re-
spects mysterious object is the sun,
typical star, the nearest one, and
not SO far away as to prevent us
from studying it in detail, and yet
presenting conditions SO different
from those we can obtain in our lab
orato,y that to considerable ex-
tent it defes our reasonings and
renders our conclusions merely con-
jectural.
Certain facts, however, have been
established beyond any possible
doubt and must necessarily form the
foundation of all REASONABLE theories
and opinions.
We know, for instance, that it's
mean distance from the earth is
very closely 93,OOO,OOO miles; that
its diameter is about 966,5OO miles,
or 1O9a times that of the earth, and
its bulk about 1900 900 as great.
We also know that it's mass is
about 100000 that of the earth and
that consequently gravity upon its
surface is about 27dd times as power
full as here A man who here weighs
$50 pounds would weigh more than
two tons upon the sun, and there a
squirrel would not be sble to Jump
any more friskily than an elephant
here.
Experim with burning glasses
make it certain that the effective
temperature of the suns surface TAX
Ell as whole doubtless the actual
temperature varies widely at differ
ent points, is much above any which
we can produce by artificial means.
Not even the electric furnace can
rival it. Carried to the sun and
kept there for a few hours only, the
earth would melt and pass into vap-
or. The estimated temperature is
about $4,000 degrees F., but cannot
be regarded as exact. Professor
Charles A. Young in Harper's
Weekly.

Is LACKING IN SYMPATHY.
Charge Made Against the New Wom-
an-Consideratie ns That Might
Lead Her to Admit It.

One of the charges that are
made against the new woman" is
that she is less sympathetic than
is her sister who abides closely in
what is called "woman's sphere ,;
says the Portland Oregonian.
But in the light of the above ar
raignment of sympathy as the vice
that it not infrequently is, may
not the new woman" confess
Judgment upon this charge and
strengthen her case and her posi-
ton by so doing? Woman has
been called a ministering angel.
but would not a more practical
name better beflt the women OF
the twentieth century? VIII
not the services of women to the
world be greater and of more en-.
during effect if they cast aside un.
reasonable sympathy as a worn,
out garment that discloses rather
than conceals the moral naked
ness of those about whom it is
cast, and substitute therefor the
armor of personal responsibility?
1t has been said that there IS a
woman behind the door of every
mans success. of there is" says
the writer, rest assured that she
isn't a sympathetic woman whin-
ing through the keyhole: Give it

Spartan woman of old, is crying
out: Come home with your
