Louise picked the younger girl up in

SIeuths Seek Lynchers.

Detective burearus all over the
country, stimulated by the offer made
by Governor Cummins of $500 reward
for each member of the mob which
recently lynched James Cullen, have
men to work on the case. During the
past week men of mystery have been
reported in Floyd county, and 1t is
rumored that they are detectives In
disguise. In fact it is said that the
county is fairly overrun with detec.
tives disguised as tramps, peddlers,
farm hands, life insurance agents and
egg buyers, who are bent on estab.
fishing the identity of as many mem
bers of the mob as possible. Pending
further investigation into the lynching
the grand jury has adjourned, but
will meet again next month, when it
Is hoped that enough evidence will
have been uncovered by the detec-
tives to indict some of the lynchers.

RED TAPE IS COSTLY
GOVERNMENT PAYS $4.s5 ON A
PURCHASE OF FIVE CENTS.
Paper of Needles Bought by United
States Navy Department Calls
for Proposals and Sealed
Bids by Contractor.

New York.-The United States gov
eminent recently purchased a paper
of ordinary looking needles that cost
thus far has the record for being the
most expensive in existence. 1t cost
quite as much as though each needle
it contained had been filed down by
hand from crow bar.
But they did not cost these several
dollars because they were intrinsically
worth that much. Indeed, they can
be purchased at the little corner no
ton store for nickel. The fact that
they cost dollars instead of cents is
due to the red tape procedure through
which all acquisitions for supplies
needed by the government must go.
Not many days ago a requisition
came from the Pensacola navy yard
to the Brooklyn yard for a paper of
needles-the kind used by seam
stresses who do plain sewing. The
Pensacola authorities seem to have
been all out of needles and it so hap
pened that the local authorities were
out of them, too.
Consequently the general storekeep-
er made out a requisition, as per the
usual custom, in quadruplicate. Two
of the former were forwarded to the
bureau of yards and docks and the
bureau of supplies and accounts at
Washington respectively. There they
were approved and returned to the
purchasing officer of the Brooklyn
yard. This official then sent out sew
eral proposals for bids on the paper of
needles.
The contractor who submitted the
lowest bid-f1ve cents was the size of
1t-delivered the needles. 1t cost him
exactly 20 cents to make the sale. He
spent 20 cents in car fare to and from
Manhattan to deliver the goods. He
spent five cents in telephoning about
the specifications and four cents in
sending in his sealed bid. In return
he will receive in the due course of
time check for five cents.
Figuring in the cost of the needles
to the contractor at three cents, he
paid out 81 cents and will get back
put i've. ASheu WHY lie IuOuSuI IL
profitable to submit a bid for the bust
ness, he said that he did a lot of bust
ness with the government and fur
nished the needles merely as an ac-
commodation to it.
But now that the needles have been
delivered, the general storekeeper
must issue an inspection call and the
board of inspection must examine each
needle and see that it comes up to the
specifications. 1t must then make a
report in quadrEr!:cate and forward
two forms to two separate bureaus at
Washington. The other two are filed,
one with the storekeeper and the 9TH
er with the department of yards and
docks, through which the original
requisition came
The final act in this red tape farce
IS the sending of the needles by mail
or express to the Pensacola navy yard.
When the cost Of the stationery, the
postage and the clerks is all COM
puted 1t will be found that the five
cent package of needles cost the gov
Hrnment more than as many dollars.

THE ''RA|NY Day"

In everybody's life the pro-
verbal "rainy day" is pretty
sure to come, sooner or later.
Fortunate indeed is the
person who, when it arrives,

The way for persons of
moderate means to guard
against the needs Of the
"rainy day." is to inaugurate
now a systematic plan of
saving. Most persons who
are improvident do not mean
to be so. They either do not
understand the Importance
of small economies or they
have neglected to save

Found Under His Shack Nearly Froz-

Edward Lemlle, sixty years old and
reputed to be the possessor of fort
une amounting to 100000, was found
starving and almost frozen to death,
in a hole under the shack in which he
lived at Webster City.
Lemke has long lived the life of a
recluse and has been generally de-
scribed by his neighbors as miser.
He lived in a squalid shanty in the
deep woods east of the city and did
not see and speak to a human being
for days and even weeks at time.
Lemke, when found, was near death,
and because of his precarious condi-
tion he was hurried to the poor farm,
where received the best of care.
The recluse apparently had run out
of fuel and was too feeble to cut wood
to heat his shack. To protect him
self from the bitter cold he had

cradle retreat when found there is nc

n N ANY persons are puzzled by
NH the strong hold which John
Lawrence Sullivan has upon
the popular Imagination. In this
regard he reminds one Of Napoleon.
John L. is far and away the most pop
ular pugilist that ever lived and the
greatest. If he had never gone up so
frequently and SO enthusiastically
against John Barleycorn, whom no
man can conquer, Sullivan could have
held the worlds heavyweight cham
pionship till he was fifty and then
could have retired as emeritus cham
pion. Talk about Jeffries' guard,
which nobody can break down and
through! When in his prime Sullivan
would have broken the Jeffries guard
by breaking the Jeffries arm if need
be. But l did not start to write
eulogy on Johns fistic ability, but to
account for his amazing and enduring
popularity and to draw lesson from
it which may be applied to many per-
sons besides gladiators. The secret of
the widespread affection for him-for
to in his case, affection-is that he was
square man, or, as he puts it, he
fought on the level. That's John LIS
phrasing of President Roosevelt's
Square deal" Sully was simply
bruiser, but all the money now in cir
culation would not have induced him
to "throw a fight" When he entered
the ring all men knew that he would
win if victory We're possible. That
was his idea Of the ethics of pugilism
and challenged the admiration of many
good men who condemned pugilism in
toto. If men in all the walks of life
especially in public place-had as high
a code of ethics as Sullivan and always
were son the level" what an improve
ment there would be in this old world,
SO full of strategy and spoil! Thou
sands of men have better headpieces
than "the immortal Sully," but none
no, not one-has better rule of con-
duct than Fighting on the level"
