Preferred the Baby's Voice.

A New York scientist, the father of
q large and growing family, has his
troubles. One evening his youngest
was holding forth in her best style.
The mother could do nothing with the
child, so the man Of science went to
the rescue.
81 think I can quiet little Flora"
he said. "There's no use humming
to her in that silly way. What she
wants is real music. The fact that I
used to sing in the glee club at Yale,
and sang well, too, may make a differ
ence."
Accordingly, the professor took the
child, and striding up and down the
room, sang in his best manner. He
had not finished the second verse of
his song, when a ring was heard. The
door was opened, and there stood a
girl Of IA, and said:
sI'm one of the family that's just
moved into the fiat next t. yours.
There's a sick person with us, and he
says, if it is all the same to you, would
you mind letting the baby cry instead
of singing to it?"-Success.

Arthur Herkimer, the Missouri his

story about the famous governor,

is incredible, but it is a fact.
"When for the fifth time Claiborne
Jackson preached a marital PROPOSE

He shook his head and added slowly:

goodness sake if anything happens to
that poor misguided girl, don't come
back here and ask me for the old
Star!

Tribute Of Respect.

Whereas, in His infinite wisdom,
God has removed from our midst our
beloved friend and sister, Mrs. Leila
A. Knots, be it resolved,
First. That we; the members of the
Woman's Missionary Society of the
Swansea Baptist church, realize that
in the death of Mrs. Knots our COM
munity has lost a true and loving
Christian character, that u society
has lost an ardent and generous mis-
sion spirit, and that one of our homes
has been bereft of it's strongest stay, a
most devoted wife, mother and sister.
Second. That we endeavor to emu
late her example, recognizing her
many Christian virtues, her faithful
performance of the duties of her life,
her fortitude in suffering and sorrow,
and the supreme faith in God and
trust in Jesus which blessed her life
and glorified her death.
Third. That we extend to her be-
reaved family our tenderest sympathy
and bow with them in humble sub
mission to the will of our Father who
doeth all things well.
Fourth. That a copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to the Baptist Courier
and to The Lexington Dispatch for
publication and that a copy be for
warded to the family and that they
also be inserted in the record book of
our society

WARSHIPS IN SEARCH
Navy Department Sends Connect
cut to Traca Missing Liner Ponce

WASHINGTON, jan. 9.-The navy
department has telegraphed instruc-
tion to Captain Swift, commanding the
battleship Connecticut, which sailed
from Hampton Roads for the island Of
Culebra, off the coast of Porto Rico, to
do everything possible to discover
some trace of the missing steamship
Ponce, now nine days overdue at New
York from Porto Rico.
Captain Swift has arranged his
cruise so as to lave the Connecticut
pass through the waters where the
Ponce may be drifting in the daylight
hours, for he believes that the vessels
that have arrived ut New York from
Porto Rico without having seen the
Ponce may have passed her in the
night.
That while running at full speed IN
fog or sllrouded III Il night mist the
steamship Ponce crashed into sunken
.derelict and went to the bottom with
her crew of tifty-two men and seven
passengers is the belief of Captain
Hunt, the naval officer in charge Of the
local photographic office.
Nine treacherous derelicts have been
located in the path of coastwlse traffic
off Capes Henry and Hatteras within
the past few weeks, and 1t is upon one
of these that Captain Hunt believes
the Ponce crashed, driving hole IN
her bottom that caused her to sink.

KILL OFFICERS
Assistant Of Captain MaCkIin Make
Startling Confession.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Jan. -
A message from Fort Reno states that
during the examination Of Corporal
Knowles. colored. charged with shoot
ing Captain Macklin on the night of
Dec. II. it was developed that there
was a plot to murder every white Off
Ger at the post
Knowles was arrested after long
and hard search. The officers hunting
for him had "A corporal's uniform coat,
and in one arm was a hole that might
have been made by bullet. The night
Captain Maeklin was shot his assailant
is thought to have handled his weapon
carelessly and to have shot himself as
well as the captain, who was wounded
in the face.
When Knowles was arrested he had
a wound in his arm which fitted with
the hole in his coat sleeve. He said
that he had snagged himself on a nail
Captain Macklin said that he believed
Knowles to be the man who shot him.
Enough he did not positively identify
him.
He said the prisoner corresponded to
the man who assailed him in build
voice and general appearance.
1t has been believed all along that
the man who attempted to assassinate
the captain was actuated by revenge
because of the Brownsville affair and
the resultant dismissal of the negro
companies of the Twenty-flfth regi-
