The Gunnels Killing.

The inquest over the body of Gloster
Daniels, negro who was shot near Olar
last week by Mr.. Fred Gunnels, developed
no additional facts from those published
in this paper last week.
The testimony was that Mr., Gunnels
had gone to the negro's house with some
meal and bacon for him, land while
there or near there where the negro was
blowing, had complained to- Daniels
about his not properly attending to the
mule or horse in his charge. The negro
denied it and cursed Mr.. Gunnels, who
was sitting in the wagon. When Gun.
nels started to get out of the wagon the
negro ran for his gun which was lying at
the end of the row. Mr.. Gunnels then
raised his gun and fired, his gun only be-
ing loaded with bird shot. The negro's
gun was loaded with buck shot. The
negro ran as soon as he was shot anG
died day or two later.
The verdict of the jury was the usua
one in such cases, being that Daniels
came to his death from gun shot wounc
at the hand of Fred Gunnels Mr.. Gun
nels came in last Sunday and surrendered
to the sheriff and is now in jail. No ap
plication for bail has been made, as tht
June term of court is so near at hand. 1r
case this term of court is not held, h
will make application for bail.

"Rightw came the reply. "We're the

With eager eyes the shipwrecked
men saw a lifeboat leave the side OF
the big liner and the sturdy oarsmen
battling with the waves, which were
still running high. At last the boat
reached the side Of the sinking ship,
now rolling sluggishly deep in the wa
ter In an exhausted state the schoon-
er's crew climbed over the side and
lay down in the bottom Of the rescuing

turn around just in time to see their
own unfortunate vessel disappear be-
meath the water.

sf that terrible charge. In spite Of ev-
cry effort, however, they failed. With
a crash that rang out over the waters
the monster struck the ship, hurling
the men off their feet. \ sound Of
rending timbers could be heard, and
the whole deck Of the schooner CULVER
ed as she heeled right over till her port
bulwarks nearly touched the water.
Several men only saved themselves
form going overheard by clutching at
the nearest rope Then, like soreiy
stricken animal, the vessel slowly right
ed herself.
We're stove In somewhere" roared
the captain. Carpenter, get down be-
low and find out the extent Of the dam
age"
When he came on deck again the car
penter's face was grave. a huge rent
had been made in the ships bows, he
reported, through which the water was
pouring in a veritable flood. Quickly
the skipper sent the men to the pumps
and when the measured clanking told
that they were drawing we'll the cap
tain and officers had time to look
around for the mad whale, the cause
Of all the trouble.
The great brute apparently had suf-
fered as badly as the ship. 1t now lay
on the surface Of the sea, its great
body rising and falling with the waves.
Blood was pouring in volumes from
two ghastly red gashes, one In its head
and the other in its side. The water
round was deeply dyed with red, and
the telltale stain on the surface Of the
sea grew larger every moment show
ing that the whale was paying with its
lifeblood for its extraordinary act.
AS the MANNED ship drew slowly
ahead the whale gradually disappear
ed astern, its belly showing and birds
already tearing at the huge carcass.
Meanwhile the water rose steadily in
the we'll, although the crew strove their
hardest to fight the leak. The whole
afternoon passed in futile attempts to
repair the gaping rent In the ships
bows, and night came on with the
pumps still working steadily In re-
sponse to the efforts Of the tired men,
but darkness brought with it a rough
sea and a high wind.
''The waters still rising, SIR said
the carpenter gloomily to the captain
as he once more sounded the well.
The captain, by voice and example,
urged on the men to greater exertions,
and they responded gallantly. The
night passed in a superhuman struggle
to keep the vessel aaoat-that grim
battle between man and the elements
which is so often fought at sea. To-
ward daybreak, however, the officers,
after a consultation, agreed that moth
ing more could be done. The water
was gaining fast, and the ship might
founder at any moment. Sorrowfully
and reluctantly the captain gave the
order for abandonment.
Under the first mates supervision
the lifeboat was pcovisioned and
swung out. It was about to be launch
ed when through the misty light Of
early morning they saw the huge bulk
of btg vessel looming close alongside.
Eagerly the men ON board the sinking
ship began to shout, and soon their
cries were answered.
"Ahoy, there! Who are you?'

forging steadily ahead, her black sides
cleaning DULY in the sunshine, says
the Wide World Magazine. Several
sailors lounged idly about on her deck.
Suddenly the attention Of the men was
attracted by a spout Of water that rose
high in the air some 800 yards away.
"a whale!w observed seaman at
sight Of the upheaval. Seems pref
ty lively" said another man as the
great bulk Of the whale came unex-
pectedly to the surface. Look, the
thing is swimming round and round as
IL it had gone suddenly mad!'
The sailors, now greatly interested,
watched the strange gyrations Of the
monster with keen interest, for never
had they seen anything so curious be-
fore. The Anna was sailing slowly
along at about four and half knots
an hour, quite close to the leviathan'
so that her crew could distinguish ev-
ery movement Of the enormous crea-
ture as it rushed hither and thither
through the waves, lashing the water
with it's tail. hurting glittering masses
of foam high up in the air and playing
pranks for all the world like sportlVe
kitten.
The movements of that colossal
body, twisting this way and that, div
ing and reappearing, seemed to fas-
cinate the men, and they laughed
heartily at it's curious antics. This was
something out Of the ordinary run OF
seagoing experiences.
Meanwhile the whale, instead Of
uuieting down, seemed to be getting
| more excited than ever, swimming rap
idly around the schooner in big circles,
leaving a circular wake Of churned up
foam behind him.
The crew Of the vessel were intensely
amused, making remarks one to an
other about the queerness Of whale
behaving in this extraordinary manner.
He laughs best who laughs last! AS
If the whale understood that all this
laughter was at his expense, the levla-
than's movements became more and
more erratic until they were terrible to
behold. The waves were churned into
milky white foam by the furious rush
es of the great creature and the pas
sionate lashing Of its tail. The gulls
few overhead in circles, apparently
astounded at the commotion beneath.
Meanwhile the interested sailors
laughed and chatted about the eccen-
tricities of the whale, which showed
not the slightest signs Of exhaustion.
Suddenly, however, anxiety came into
their weather beaten faces instead OF
mirth. for without the least warning
the huge mammal, with mighty rush
Of seething waters, came straight for
the ship, only sheering off when quite
close. This disconcerting maneuver 1t
repeated several times.
Presently the captain Of the Anna,
taking alarm at the threatening att,
tude Of the whale, gave an order which
sent the men on deck hurrying to their
stations, and the schooner soon began
to draw away from the scene Of the
monsters gambols.
Seeing the vessel moving of, the
whale ceased it's circling and, like q
warship intent on ramm1ng, came
straight at the schooner, throwing
masses Of foam to right and left OF Its
massive head. Spurred on by thei,
captains voice, the excited crew tried
In vain to get the Anna out OF the way

The Heart Muscles.

1t is generally supposed that the
heart is an organ which never takes a
rest. But this is not so. The muscles
of the heart are not necessarily work
ing. The heart contains four cham
bers-two upper, called the auricles,
and two lower, the ventricles. In the
beating of the heart the auricles first
contract and force the blood into the
ventricles; they then relax while the
ventricles repeat the process. Then
follows pause, during which the
heart is perfectly at rest.
The contraction of the auricles takes
one-fifth of the time between one beat
and the next, the contraction of the
ventricles two-fifths and the pause
two-fifths, so that the heart is really
resting two-fifths Of its time. Sleep
also aids in relieving the muscles OF
the heart, as it considerably diminish.
es the rapidity of its action.
This alienation of rest and activity
endows the heart muscles with their
capacity for untiring work.

The girl of 1905 wears round skirts,
all ruffled and made to stand out. She
will carry a reticule. And her orna-
ment will be little fan. Upon her
hands there will be long black gloves,
and she will wear poke bonnet and
the sweet smile which goes with every
poke.
The girl of 1905 does not look at all
like the girl Of year ago. Never was
there so radical a change wrought in
an individual in one year. She has
stepped out of her clinging skirts into
full ones, and she has thrown aside
her picture hat for another one still
more picturesque. Her clothes are all
picture clothes, and she will be fash
ionable like a doll and destined to do
nothing more useful than to look
pretty.

Mr.. Ferris advice that a woman
should not marry until sic is able to
support husband is not to be passed
off with a smile. There is sound com
mon sense in it. The time was when
it was said girl ought not to marry
until she understood how to care for
n household. Times are changed now
and it is not necessary for a woman
TO brew and bake, wash and iron and
attend to the hundred and one things
that were once done exclusively by
women. But she must be competent in
other directions. More and more wom-
en- are coming to have the same pay
as men for doing similar work. More
and more women are displacing
men and securing the places con-
sidered most desirable. Emergen-
cies may come that will compel the
woman to be the bread winner. 1t is
fortunate for her and her family If
she has made and kept herself COM
petent to meet adversely when it ap-
pears. 1t seems like reversing the
normal order Of things to have the wife
the mainstay. The instructive chivalry
of the American husband rebels at it.
He would and in the main does bear
the burden Of providing for the family,
but that family is on the safest founda-
tion where in case of need the wife is
able to meet the requirements and keep
her children and her husband, if nee
essary, from depending on charity or
the grudging assistance Of relatives.
4 woman is none the less womanly for
the consciousness Of latent strength,
for the thought that she can be relied
on in times of trouble and disaster.
Her peculiar sphere may be the home,
but when the home itself is dependent
on the success Of ner efforts outside
the home she is to be counted happy
that she has the energy and fitness
to come to the rescue.

In recent issue of Success, Mr.
Frederick U. Adams arraigns the rail
roads of the country for their criminal
guilt in refusing to adopt precautions
and safety appliances which would
materially reduce the annual slaughter
due to train accidents. He accompan-
les his severe charges with the state
ment that "the time is at hand when
murder and bribery will not be han
died with gloves or described with
tender and evasive epithets." Com
menting on the characteristic delay
which railways employ in installing
safety gates at grade crossings, Mr..
Adams explains why the companies
refuse to protect the people who are
exposed to danger at these points. 1t
is cheaper to pay damages for the dead
and MANNED than to pay for the oper-
alton of the gates. 1t was cheaper for
the railroads to pay damages for the
loss of life and limb which the old
style couplers involved. They op-

unwillingness of the railroads to in.

cheaper to kill people than TO put in

| While this explanation seems to brand

| human motives, yet, when analysed
more closely, it will be found to pen
citrate to the marrow the whole sub
jcct. Human life is cheaper than
safety appliances. So long as the
comparative cheapness of human life
and limb enables the railroads doing
an interstate business to pay dam
ages resulting from accidents and still
save money over the cost of installing
ard maintaining proper safety devices
is it not the duty of Congress to pro
tcct the people from the consequences
of such a lamentable condition? Tc

Some striking evidences of the re-
gard with which Mexico is held in
the United States have been furnished
this year. Mexico has just floated a
loan for $40000,000 in this country,
which was the first ever negotiated
by that country in which no security
through lien on the customs or 9TH
erwise was asked for. Mexico's credit
is thus seen to be as high as that of
any Of the other great countries. Our
trade with Mexico, both imports and
exports, is steadily gaining. Most of
Mexlcos dealings with the outside
