One Of the Earliest Emblems Of Chris

SAYS LASH WOULD REFORM.
Akron's Mayor Advocates whipping
Post for Wife-Beaters.

Akron. O.-Mayor Charles w.
Kempel IS in favor Of the whipping
post for wlfebeaters and men who
neglect their families.
Il believe" he said. that a good
0ogging would do a world more good
than Imprisonment for men who seem
TO take pleasure in beating their
wives. II / send them to the work
house or give them heavy fines they
soon forget. When they return from
prison they often go back to their
old tricks. But when a man gets a
good. wholesome fogging, he never
forgets t.
q have had many cases in my court
In which / willingly would have sen
fenced men to be fiogged and felt like
LAYING on a few lashes myself"
The statement was inspired by the
case of Fred Smith. who beat his wife
until her eyes were blackened and hel
face swollen because she permitted
one of the children 10 drink a bottle
Of milk. He is now in the workhous'
and the city will have TO provide fo'
his family for nearly a year.
In cases like this" said the mayor
81 think the legislature should pas
law providing that a prisoner witt
a family sentenced to the workhous'
should be allowed wages there, ant
these wages turned over to the wifi
and family during the term Of i'm
nrlsnnment.

RIFLE IN TREE TRUNK.
Oak Has Grown Around the Gun, AT
most Completely lmbeddlng H.

About II miles from Centralia, on
the road 10 Little Rock, is a curios-
ity. 10 see which would amply repay
any one for the drive, says the Seattle
Times. About fifty yards from the
road. near a deserted homestead, Is an
old-fashioned rife imbedded In the
trunk OF a tree.
The trunk Of the scrub oak Is not
more than six inches through at the
point where the rife IS imbedded, so
that the stock and barrel are In com
plete view. The rife IS in a perfect
state Of preservation.
Il IS evident that the rife was
praced IN a crotch Of the tree many
years ago, probably at the height al
which a man would rest a gun when
taking careful aim.
In the course Of years the tree has
grown completely around the rife, the
lock being lmbedded. The crotch Is
now about six inches above the barrel
and the gun is about ten feet from the
ground.
Romances innumerable might be
woven about the old rife, but II
stands as a memento 70 the develop
ment and progress that have taken
place. What was a wild and unex-
plored country at the time when the
rife was first placed in the crotch OF
the tree. with the red man monarch oi
| all he surveyed. with scattered settle
ments OF hardy pioneers already pre-
parlng to contest his supremacy, IS
now dotted with farms and homes Of
prosperous families.
