which Was His Wifeg

- A. certain Turk, according to rumor,
was once married to a yelled lady in
white in the presence of the sultan. As
soon as the ceremony was concluded
the bride mysteriOusly' disappeared.
The groom was led iuto an adjoining
room, where stood twelve ladies all
dressed in white, but without wells.
"Choose from the twelve" exclaimed
the sovereign, "her that is your bride"
As the man had never seen her face the
command bewildered him. IF you
make a mistake" added. his majesty,
''your life shall pay the forfeit The
poor man walked up and down the row
of beauties, but saw nothing whatever
to aid his choice. you have only a
minute left" yelled the sultan In anger;
~choOse at once" Ten Of the ladies, he
noticed, gave him nothing else than 8
stony stare One Of them frowned the
other smiled. The frowning one" lie
thought. "is my bride. for she express
es, her dispeasurp and Impotence at
any ignorance. NO" he said. to him
self, lit must be the smiling one, for
she desires to'invite me to her" After
debating the subject in his mind until
his time was up he boldly made Sc
lection from the two. He was success:
full. He had regained his bride. Which
was she. the one who frowned or the
one who smiled?
An Impudent Indorsement.

PEOPLE ARE INTIMIDATED
By Gang Who Killed Prof. Roach in
Kentucky.

Fulton, Ky, Oct. 9.--'rhe posses who
are securing the county for the two un-
known white who assassinated Frof.
Il. w. Roach have as yet accomplished
nothing and it is feared that thiicrime
one OF the blackest ever committed in
Fulton county-must 90 unavenged.
Detective Hawkins of Milan Tenn,
is here with his famous boodhounds.
The hounds trailed the assassins from
the barn, where Roach was shot, 80 The
road where the fugitives had left their
horses, and, of course, lost the trail
there.
1t is now generally believed that tho
assassination of Prof Roach was the re-
suit of well-laid and carefully-eXe-
cuted plot 1t is also believed that
others than the two men who did the
killing were concerned in the plot.
Other families in This neighborhood
have been inundated by this gang,
end should they know who committed
the dastardly crime 1t is doubtful if
they would appear AS witnesses against
them. Just Il few nights before the
killing Mr.. Roach reproved several
young men for misbohaving az II pro-
tract"d meeting. The young men did not
openly resent the reprooi, but several
threats were made against Mr., Roach.
The officers have rigidly examined
several Of the young men who were
heard to utter these threats, but no
arrests have been made. These Young
men all belong to prominent families

MOSQUITO EXPERIMENTS
Will Be Conducted During Winter
by Louisiana Professors.

Baton Rouge, La, Oct. 9.-lhe
Louisiana State University announces
that DR.. j. w Dupree will conduct cX-
periments during the winter for the pur-
pose Of asccrtaining definitely the effect
OF cold weather on stcgomyia faselata
mosquitoes. DR.. Dupree does not be-
lieye from his past experiments with the
stegomyia mosquito that it hibernates
during the winter Us an adult, but he
believes that the first cold spell kills the
stegomyia and that it hibernates in its
egg
There is, however, difference Of opin-
ion among the scientists upon thisques-
tion, and it will be finally determined
during the winter months. Whether a
stegomyia mosquito that has fed upon
the blood of yellow fever patient can
transmit its poison to its eggs is an
other question that will be finally deter
mined upon this winter. DR.. Dupree
expects to make some experiments along
this line.
DR.. Dupree will let some mosquitoes
feed on yellow fever patient and will
keep their eggs through the winter and
then send them to the United States
Government to experiment with, as a
citizen would not be allowed to do such
dangerous experimenting under the
laws of louisiana.
