Ruse That Worked on the PO-
lice at Columbus, O.,
Would Not Go Here.
CASE OF ALLEGED CROOKS.
A THIRD MEMBER OF THE GANG
MAKES BUSINESS OF IMPER-
SONATING AN OFFICER-JOHN-
SON RELEASED ON BOND.

A clever attempt was made to re-
lease Tom Fredricks and George John
son, two alleged crooks, from the
county Jail, last week. The same ruse
was worked successfully at Columbus,
O., where two members of the alleged
gang Of dips and confidence men who
followed the Barnum and Bailey cir
Gus, were held. This trick was the
sending OF telegram alleged TO be
from the chief of police at Pittsburg,
Pa, stating that Fredricks and john
son were badly wanted in Pittsburg
and that an officer would be sent for
them. When Chief Bailey received
this telegram he believed it to be gem
uine but it appears that Sheriff Mere
dith refused to deliver up the men un-
less cash bond was furnished.
This wisdom of this action is shown
by the way the Columbus police were
taken in. After sending a telegram to
the police at that city stating that the
two men held there were wanted In
Pittsburg, man. believed to be a
member of a gang of crooks. arrived
in Columbus with cleverly forged pap
ers and at once took charge of the
two men held there. Later it was
learned that the Pittsburg authorities
did not send man for the two dips
and the Columbus police had to ad-
nit that they had been cleverly dup
ed.

The Gospel of Good Cheer.

People loved Robert Louis Steven
son not because he was an admirable
writer but because he was a cheerful
consumptive. He was a sufferer who
for many years increased the gayety
of life. Genius alone can do this ON
a large scale, but everybody can do it
on q little one. Our safest guide is the
realization of hard truth-that we
are not privileged to share our trou-
bles with other people If we could
make up our minds to spare our
friends all details of i'll health, of mon
ey losses of domestic annOyances, of
alterations, of committee work, of
grievances, prOvocations and anXietieS,
we should sin less against the worlds
good humOr. 1t may not be given us
to add to the treasury of mirth but
there is considerable merit in not rob-
bling it.-Agnes Reppler In 1Iarper's
Magazine.

BROUGHT a Blush to Her Cheek.

There was a story told of one of the
worlds great vocalsts singing as a
young girl at a private house. She was
overwhelmed with praise. BY and by,
says the London News, she came and
sat by an elderly lady, who congratu-
!atod her on the way she had sang, but
vcnulred to offer one or two suSges
tons. The young singer treated the
hints with scorn and afterward asked
the hostess who "the old lady" vas
who had dared to give her Suggestions.
ooh, that was Mime. Goldschmidt." re-
piled the lady. "And who is Nine.
GoldschmdtT was the next impatient
query. "Well, she's botter known as
Jenny Lind" said the hostess. And
then the singer blushed for shame at
her itisdainful reception of hints from

TALE OF WIDE TIRES.
p..stieal Plan For Highway Super
visors to Follow.


good and practical suggestion to
rad supervisors and others who have
oborce of road maintenance may be
,ound in the following tale of the use
NJ the wide instead of the narrow tires,
saws the Good Roads Magazine. The
story was told to Paul ID. Sargent,
highway commissioner of the state Of
Maine, by a county commissioner Of
the same state:
"The heavy teaming in our town is
confined mainly to the three miles of
dirt road, over which lime rock IS haul
Al from the quarries to the kilns. This
teaming has been done for years on
Two and flve-tenths inch tires, with
hind wheels fifty-siX inches and front
wheels fifty inches in diameter.
THE resulting repairs, made neces-
sary by the continual hauling of heavy
loads on narrow tires, has cost this
town thousands of dollars. In order
that this might be remedied we made
an agreement with the lime rock haul
ers to furnish them with the wide tired
wheels fitted to their wagon aXles,
with the understanding that If upon
fair trial and experiment they should
prove to be of mutual advantages the
hauers should buy the wheels of the
town.
"On consultation with the manufac-
turers we ordered the sizes above
given (rear wheels, fiftysiX inches;
'front.' fifty inches. They arrived
about the LIST of July, 1905, and
from that time until about the 21st Of
August I used my best cndeavors to
get them adjusted to the wagons and
used but the haulers claimed that the
forty-four inch wheels We're 50 much
lower than the old ones that the rocks
and ruts would 'trig' them; also that
they would lower the body SO much
that the tongue would Stat and break
the horses legs. And who will pay
the damage? was the question.
AS last resort we put the wheels
on one Of their wagons and hauled
rock for them one day. Our teamster
hauled the same loads and followed in
the old tracks. The road was in a
very dangerous condition at this time
and badly rutted, SO that even light
driving wagons sank to their hubs in
some places. The wide tires soon filled
me ruts SO that the wagons with the
narrow tires actually hauled more rock
on the last or fourth turn that day
than they did in the morning
After seeing the work of these
wheels for one day the owner of the
wagon wanted the whole equipment
Immediately, and applications for the
other three sets came SO fast that we
were unable to shift the gearing quick
" enough. In fact, one tcamster drove
lis team for a week without brakes In
order to have the wide tires sooner.
once that time the wheels have been
ILL constant use summer and winter.
AT the time of this writing the
same amount Of rock Is hauled in three
turns That was formerly hauled per
ua! IN four turns by the same teams,
anu The drivers claim that the work il
uohe easier by the horses. The sand
stretch which was the hardest place
ior the narrow tires is now crossed
easily"

1t Is very good advice. says the Prac.

Dresser, the noted poultry expert and
lecturer of Schoharie county, y. Y.
when he says: I'VE clean our roosts
every Saturday. After the droppngs
are taken off we put on South Carolina
phosphate rock, which we buy by the
carload, and 1t absorbs the moisture,
ana this gives us a fertilizer that is as
tonishing. a hen will produce a bushel
of manure year. This means bet
ter farm and better crops. Just as
soon as the rooSts are cleared we paint
them with mixture made as follows:
Take pound of carbolic acid crystals
you can get that for 40 cents, put it
In Il crock and set 1t in a pan of warm
water and let it melt; then pour the
contents into Il gallon jug and fill it
up with kerosene; then take another
gallon of Kerosene and put about four
tablespoonful of that combination
into that gallon Of kerosene. And l
want to say to you that, with South
Carolina rock as an absorbent under
the rOosts and wallowing box, with
just a little care every Saturday you
will never see louise or mite on your
premises. We are very particular. We
