Despite the fact that prohibition
won, 1t seems that Mr. McAdoo has
concluded that ''bIind tigers" were not
to be dreaded so much after all, since
the prohibitionists have organized a
Law ana Order League" with large
membership, and has given out the
contract for a big building.

Durham N. c., July 2S.-Fouf
small Durham boys went out into the
country this morning and three of the
number came back to town wounded.
They were shot by an old man named
Marion Norwood, because they had
been i'm his water melon field. None
of the BOYS was seriously hurt, the
shot used being very fine bird shot,
and the distance between the man
and the boys was considerable.
The boys are Frank Ellis, son of
w. F. Ellis: Phillip Robbins, son of
Charles Robbins; Emmitt Aiken, son
of e. r. Aiken. and Frank Womble
son of f. c. Womble. They are from
8 to 13 years of age. Marion Nor
wood, who did the shooting, is an
aged Confederate cavalry veteran. 1t
seems that the four boys took two
small guns and went out in the woods
on a hunt When they reached old
man Norwood'S place one of the boys
went into his water melon patch and
took a cantalouDe. They then left the
field and We're going across an old
field nearby wheneNorwood saw them.
He at once opened fire, firing four
shots wounding three of the boys as
stated.
Emmitt Aiken was the worst hurt.
Eighty-one of the fine shot took effect
i'm his back. peppering him from his
head to his feet. DR.. A. Cheatham
attended him and picked the shot
from under the skin.
Phillip Robbins received six of the
shot in his body, three of these
taking effect in his head, Frank
Ellis was wounded by two of the shot.
When the news of the shooting
reached town there was considerable
excitement, especially among the
families of tho boys. A short while
after this Sheriff Markham went after
Norwood with a warrant, and he was
accompanied by some of the irate pa
rents and relatives.
The only thing that prevented the
old mans being a murderer is that the
boys were at a considerable distance
from him and the shot were very
small ones. He reloaded and fired
his gun as long as the boys were with
in range. The latter dropped their
guns when the shooting began and
sought safety by flight.
Norwood will be tried tomorrow
morning. on the charge of assault with
a deadly weapon. There may be
other warrants issued these being
against the boys.

The English VocabuIary

The ordinary English vocabulary
may be said to contain from 10000 to
10000 words, the latter estimate being
large. Shakespeare, whose vocabulary
is larger than that of any other Eng
lish poet unless it be Browning, used
about $4,000 words, while Milton,
whose range was narrower employed
only about half that number The
common estimate of the average vo-
cabulary of educated people is from
5000 to 5000, but in this case the num-
Der of words which are known, but not
used, is enormously increased. A well
read college graduate should be IA
miliar with perhaps 100000 words,
while in the course of year he might
not use 5000 of them in his writing or
conversation. Shorthand reporters find
about $500 word signs and contrac-
tons ample for representing the words
which are commonly used in public
speaking

gin right away" Miss Gerard said ris-
ing to go. Everybody else stared. Ned
was her artist nephew, rich withal
She could not possibly be willing to
match him with an Elwood girl, yet
here she was giving Margery Chase,
the greatest fiirt of the town, almost
impossible opportunity. Ned had come
to Firstanes, the Gerard homestead,
only two days before. AS yet Elwood
folk had hardly more than seen him
in the family pew Sunday morning
and later driving with his aunt. Some
mysterious excursion had taken him
away early Monday morning. 1t must
be he would be back before nightfall.
Was Miss Gerard thus bent upon fling
ing Margery at his head? That was q
puzzle so absorbing nothing else was
talked of all the way home. Margery
was neither rich nor of distinguished
family. Even as to her beauty there
were more than two opinions.
Adverse opinions wavered when at
last the lawn party came to pass. \
slender, floating, misty shape in trail
ing vapory white, bearing a slender
black wand whose tip gave out inter
mittent flashes, nobody could deny her
charm. Now and again the flashes
came from the silver crescent above
her forehead. They We're rose red or
spectral blush or greeny yellow, ac-
cording to her humor. Whatever the
color, they drew nightly. There was
not a man on the ground but followed
them ioyously and lamblike to slaugh-
ter in the booths. ''-77--~ 's''--a'e' .."-.
Still it was not surprising. In day
light and everyday clothes Margery
had beforetime captivated every mar
riageable man in town. The rector
even had not escaped. What wonder
that Miss Gerard was almost her only
stanch woman friend?
Miss Gerard was radiant over the
party's success. You're my lucky an

as they came together for a moment

ror CT every soul but one in her moth
er's sitting rooE. ElwoOd's social lead
ers were gathered there, deep in dis
cussiOn of the fancy dress lawn party
to be given at st. ChrysostOms for
the benefit of the church guild. Since
the rectory adjoined the church proper
there was quite a stretch of turf and
shrubbery available. Therefore Mrs.
Lawson. head of the broad faction in
st. ChrysostOm s, had been for having
daylight, with tennis and archery, of
course for prizes. But Miss Gerard,
the leading spirit among the high
church folk, had outgeneraled Mrs.
Lawson and won over the powers that
were to her pet scheme of lighted
greenery, booths, flower girls and for
tune telling.
HIN! What will you dO?" Mrs.
Lawson asked severely. 1T has been
my impression all along that the-er
costumes should be subservient to
the-well, the general effect"
Margery laughed happily. You are
quite right" she said. Never fear,
but l shall be busy enough. 1t will be
my province TO lure in unwary travel
ers and lead them on to financial de-
struction."
"Margery, how can yOu?" Mrs.
Chase's eyes rested on her daughter
full of severe reproof. Mrs. Lawson
shifted hard, but Miss Gerard came
CALAMITY to the rescue, saying: You
