Dyed His Hair.

Atlanta, Ga.-Fear of the moose
turned the black hair of Arthur Glover
white during the night before he was
to be hanged for killing young Maud
Williamson.
When the sheriff went to his cell on
the day fixed for the execution to tell
Glover that a new trial had been
granted he hardly knew his prisoner,
who was chattering that he was John
the Baptist.
To-day Glover was placed on trial
for the second time. His counsel en-
tered plea of paranoia. DR.. Sutliffe,
IN expert called by the defense, could
not spell paranoia, but swore Glover
was a paronoiac.
The prisoner was prominent in poll
tics here, was married and had chill
dren. For two years he was friendly
with Maud Williamson. When the girl
told Glover she was going to lead a
better life he killed her.

versity city.
Although the news caused great re
joicing at Harvard. yet the joyfulness
was tinged with touch of sadness.
The sadness and sorrow was due to
the fact that the explorers should
have waited and captured the Okapi
Johnsoni alive. Had they done that.
biologists figured out, Harvard would
not only have the only dead Okapi
Johnson in the world. but the only
live Okapi Johnsoni in captivity or
ever seen by people of this or the
past three generations.
Although bones of the Okapi John
soni have been found embedded in
clay and lava. and although the
Geological museum at Antwerp has
in its possession the skeleton OF a pre-.
historic animal OF this nature, yet

the only Okapi that in the flesh and

beings OF this generation.
The Okapi Johnsoni is nothing moro
than a species OF giraffe. 1t wears
