A Touching Tribute.

In a tiny country village il New
England a woman died recently and
her relatives, friends and neighbors
decided that woman who had been
so popular in life deserved something
out of the ordinary in the way of a
funeral.
The village did not boast of band,
but it had drum corps, which was
hired to do honor to the occasion.
Solemnly it played on the way to the
cemetery, but on the return it was
asked to play something livelier as a
sort'of quickstep home.
But the drum corps had made. a
speciality of serious music and knew
only one lively air. However, it was
perfectly willing to play the only
cheerful bit Of music it knew, and
the funeral procession went cheerily
home on the strains of 1.-THE Girl

Maybe a hammock appeals to a

1t is very comforting to imagine you

TOLD MARY TO WEAR THESE"
Ridiculous Incident in Which Miss
Letter Figured.

. L . 7 . "a, .
When Lady Curzon was Miss Mary
Letter, and the belle of Washington, a
laughable accident had sad results for
an unfortunate attache who was one
of her greatest admirers. This infatu-
ated lover heard that she was to be at
ball about to take place, and rushing
to florists he ordered magnificent
box of roses to be sent to his address.
When they arrived he sent his own
servant with a card entreating Miss
Letter to wear these at the ball for
his sake. Unluckily his tailor chose
that afternoon to send home pair of
garments not usually worn by ladies'.
The parcels somehow got mixed, the
wrong one was delivered to Miss Lei

NEGRO PROBABLY LYNCHED.
Was Taken From Sheriff and has Dis
appeared-The Sheriff Severely
Reprimanded by Judge Palmer.

Perry, Fla, Oct. 4-This morning
about one O'Clock a negro named Riv-
ers was taken from Sheriff Smith and
two deputies by a mob Of n hundred
or more men. Nothing has since been
heard of the prisoner and it is bel'ev-
ed he was 1ynched.
Rivers was bound over yesterday to
await the action of the grand jury at
the present term of the circuit court
which convened today, on the charge
of attempting criminal assault last
Friday night on Mrs. Williams, a white
woman living at Blair and Henley's
turpentine still.
When the circuit court convened this
morning Sheriff Smith vas severely
r~eprimanded by Judge Palmer for his
conduct in his matter, being charged
with having failed to comply with or
derS from the court rs to concealing
the negro from b mob. The sheriff
had been ordered to conceal the negro
in the woods until this morning and
then take him across the country to
Madison, but instead he concealed
him within a barn within town limits
and the negroes whereabouts were oon
ascertained by the mob, who took MIN
from the officer ad hurried him off in
the darkness. The work was done SO
quietly that but few persons knew of
The affair until sun up this morning.
