HER HAT PIN
WAS HANDY
Brave Boyce Girl Uses one on
Her Assailant.

4 sbs;c,al to the Alexandfia
Town Talk from Boyce gives an
account of how a brave Girl de-
| Tended hefsssif agaihst an assailant'
The report Is as follows:
..Miss Annlese Hickman, a
daughter of Mr.. Toni Hickman OF
Boyce. had a desperate encounter
with an unknown white nian last
night at about 1890 o'clock. The
fellow had entered her room and
when she awoke she had a des-
perate tussle with her assallant'
but she succeeded In Routing HIM
by sticking him with q hat pm
They will make quick work with
him if he is apprehended.
Sat about 1870 O'Clock Miss
Hickman was awakened by feeling
something on her Hand. When
she became conscious She found
that a hand was holding her by
the wrist. She REALIZED over with
the other hand and before she
knew what she was doing. she
touched the hand and the posses
sor of it Withdrew it.
"A light was shining through
her bedroom Window from the
open window Of neigIibor, and
BY this light tie young lady saw
tall white Min standing by the
side of her bed. He had a heavy
mustachc. As quick as a Hash
of lightning came the idea to her
brain to defend herself. She
stealthily reached for hat pin,
which she remembered was lying
by her pillow. With quick and
dexterous movement she jsbbed
the long pin into the b8qs Of the
intruder. He jumped backward
as if he was badly wounded, and
as quick as thought did the young
lady jump from the bed and
make at him. She screamed for
assistance, but before it came she
had q desperate struggle, with the
man, who finally escaped. Mrs.
Harry Henderson,. the Il! sister OF
Miss Hickman, was in her room
in another part Of the house. and
on hearing the screams of her Sis
ter, ran to her sssistance, but ar
rived Just as the fellow made his
escape through Tie back door of
the hall. When she entered the
room hsf sister swooned in her
arms. but by quick attention she
soon tegained Consciousness and
told If the struggle. The neigh
boris werB notified and in short
while the whole town was in ex-
element over the affair.
ssThe hat pin was found this
morning in the back yard near
the door through WHICH the man
had escaped; The only clue to
the affair is 1 piece R@f the mans
vest pocket which the young lady
tore from him during the struggle.
She say that he had an open face
watch which dropped from the
pocket, but which he secured

THE SULTAN OF SULU

Secretary Taft Says Slavery Exists in
Philippines Only in Violation
of Law.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.-Secretary
of War Taft before the house commit
tee on insular affairs today expressed
his opinion on the Patterson bill to
abolish slavery in the Philippines and
to abrogate the treaty made with the
sultan of Sulu by General Bates. Sec
rotary Taft said that the federal con-
stitution. as well as law, slavery was
abolished and congressional act
would offer no solution. The question
was one of enforcing instead of MAX
ing law. He favored an expression of
congress, however, of the abrogatiOn of
the treaty so that payment of the reg
ular stipend to the sultan might cease.
Secretary Taft's suggestion was
adopted and an amended bill was intro
duced by Patterson.
The senate committee on public
lands today made Il favorable report on
the bill proposing to give to each state
per cent of the net proceeds of the

900 derived from this source Is now
held by the states affected and the bill
proposes to allow them to keep this
money.

4 PUBLIC SCHOOL TRIUMPH.

The public schools are splendidly
ed at Harvard by President Eliot. They
tend to show that the public school
boy is better prepared for college
entrance examinations than the pri-
vate school boy and better fitted for
his college work.
In the last college year fewer pub
lie school boys than private school
boys failed in their entrance eXamina-
tons at Harvard. and more of the
former graduated with honors.
The Geographic summary of the
statistics does not tell us what proper
ton of Harvard students come from
other than public preparatory schools,
but probably they form the larger
portion of the student body.
These facts ought to be good read
ing for parents who imagine that they
must send their boys to private schools
to fit them properly for college.
OF course. the difference may be in
the boys rather than in the two
sets of schools. AS a rule. the sons
of poor parents do not go to academies
and private schools and pay tuition.
when they can get free preparario"
in the high schools. And. as a rule.
the boy who is lacking in material
advantages makes the better student.
not because he is brighter or more ca
pahle. but t,auSe he realizes early
| the necessity of hustling, and that he
must stand on his own abilities and
| achievements and not on his father s
pile. Very likely the academy would
do better if it had the public school

II is a SOD to the whale, but it will ap-
pease the popular clamor for just tax
