Ward. They came across the street leis-
urely, walked inside and began firing.
After numbering the three men connected
with their rival saloon they returned to
their own place and sent to a livery stable
for horses.
In those days every Texan was sup
posed to be a fighter. Cowboys, team
sters and ranchmen were in this town
by the hundreds. They collected in a
body. BY this time the Ward boys had
got their feet in stirrups, and with six
shooters flourishing rode away. No one
followed, no one gave the to
halt. The grim courage of the assassins
appalled, and awed them.
TAXI the case of Robert Sims, in Choc-
taw county, Alabama, fifteen years ago.
Sims was a free-love advocate. He made
moonshine and defied the revenue col
~lectors. One day he was overpowered
and was being transported to Mobile,
when some of his followers overlook the
deputy m~arshaPs posse, killed three of
them, rescued Sims and took him back.
on Christmas day, 1891, six of his men
were lynched. Still, in his home, with
his two beautiful daughters as his only
aid, he held off a mob of 1000 for nine
days. At last, however, he was lynched.
IN one Oh ule small villages OF Har-
rison county, Indiana, in which, by the
way, there never was the face of a col
ored man shown since 1869, a mob took
a woman out one night and, stripping
her, whipped her brutally. The charge
was that she had mistreated her step
children. At the time of the assault her
husband was absent. But next day this
man, suspecting the barbarians, visited
each and every one individually. tweaked
their noses and spat in their faces. Then
he went home unscathed to nurse his
wife's wounds.
Speaking of mobs, I must tell a story.
Some time ago, when the defaulting state
treasurer, Z. A. Burke, ran a New Orleans
newspaper, a man was arrested in one
Of the parishes across Manchase, charged
with a heinous crime. Mr.. Burke sent a
reporter over in a tug, there being no
other means of communication The tel
egraph wires were down. The mob that
had gathered hesitated about using the

YELLOW STREAK IN MODS
What a Few Brave Men Could Do I'm
q Bout with the Night
Riders.

A mob, anywhere you find it. is a cow
ardly body. This is so of a banded crowd
with shotguns and ponies, whether In
Maine or in Kentucky. Let a sheriff show
fight, let a squad of policemen march
alb east toward the ranks of the outlaws,
anc they will dispense like quail before a
pointer dog.
Five brave, courageous men can rout a
hundred whitecaps or night riders. The
Instances are many when this has been
demonstrated. In Vicksburg, some years
ago, James A. Gibson, district attorney
quietly spirited IN alleged culprit from the
local jail to the penitentiary at Jackson
Meantime a mob had formed and, discover
ing the ruse. fell upon Gibson In Main
street. For a moment the 500 men looked
menacing. Suddenly Pat Henry, an inti-
mate of Gibson, appeared. In another min
ute Charley j. Searles was with them.
Then along came wild BIZ McLaurin,
brother to the senator.
"ITl give you fellows five minutes by the
watch to dispense and set off the streets!'
shouted Gibson to the mob. "Ir you are in
sight when the time is up, We four men
will run each of you in the river" The
Gibson party drew their guns and watches
In two minutes there wasn't a mob.
In Birmingham in 1888 a locomotive en-
gineer had b~rutally slain a young woman
and had cast her body in the lake. The
evening of his arrest 5000 men formed
to break down the jail and lynch MIN.
AS they approached, the sheriff, with
twenty deputies inside the jail inclosure'
warned them of their peril should they
come nearer. The mob hooted ana a
pistol was fired. In five seconds a score
of men, among them the postmaster lay
dying. Next morning there was peace.
Senator McLaurin himself, while district
attorney of Smith county, Mississippi
rescued a negro from a mob OF 1000
He backed the trembling creature Up
against a tree, shielding him with his
body, drew a revolver and dared one or
them to lay hands on the prisoner. Then
seeing he had the situation in hand he
marched his man back TO jail.

A BULL FIGHTS TWO TIGERS
Lords of the Jungle Show Wholesome
espec for Bulls
Horns.

In the bull-ring at Juarez, FL Paso, Tex,
on October IS last, there was held a fight
between a bull and a tiger. According to
the newspaper reports, the animals, which
were locked in an iron cage. fought fiercely.
The bull, although hampered by lack Of
space finally dispatched the tiger; not,
however, until he was himself wounded
so seriously that he will die. Thousands
Of people paid admission and saw the
bloody, brutal spectacle. The Mexican Of
ficIals make no effort to stop It. A similar
fight was held in France last summer, and
some of its phases are shown in photo
graphs. The battle was arranged by
some Frenchmen OF Marseilles, who
quilt a large circular iron cage on a
private estate near that city because
the police authorities had refused to give
permission for a public exhibition. About
a hundred people were admitted and several
hundred more looked on from neighboring
roofs and treetops. Two Sumatra tigers
and one Spanish bull were the principal
actors. The tigers, however, according to
the report Of a French journalist who was
a spectator, were not in fighting mood on
that day. The first one made a feeble
attempt at selling the bull by tho neck,
but the latter tossed him away, and there
after the tiger crouched against the iron
possible. The bull, too, apparently had
enough, for he remained calmly in the
center of the cage. Attendants waved red
flags. but tine bull did not seem to be in
terested in these. Then they tried to start

Life In Apartment Houses.

Owners of some apartment houses in st.
Louis have added a clause TO their leases
which reads as follows: And II is fur
Their agreed by and between both parties
that, shall the lessee cook or permit to be
cooked I'm the said premises any onions,
cabbage or other odoriferous vegetables or
anything which shall penetrate the common
halls OF the premises. either in odor or
smoke, this lease shall be void" This looks
like an attempt to deprive the family OF the
natural right to enjoy what they like at
their own table. but IL has been decided
that II Is good law. One of the legal pin
ions given says: '"The restrictions are IN
the mutual interest OF tenants. The pro-

rope. Finally the reporter interceded:
"See here, boys" he said, IF you are
going to lynch this man, do it now. I've
just got time to reach the office to get
the item in the paper"
And to accommodate the reporter the
man was hanged, and the reporter scored
a scoop.-Chattanooga Times.

East End Reputation.

The East End of London has recently
achieved a literary reputation for itself.
In the first place, out of the East End
slums has come a senior wrangler" Of
oxford. 1t must be mentioned in passing
that it. Is the '~'wranglers" who take all
the honors at the university, and never be-
fore in the history of that great institu-
ton has a first honor man come from the
LOndon slums. Another triumph for the
East End consists in the fact that new
libraries have recently sprung up In various
parts of that ~benighted section, and a
movement called THE Home Reading
Circle" is making great progress. Readers
who join this circle are expected to make
studies of certain books and to write es-
says on the subjects they treat. The vari-
Gus circles are controlled by the National
Home Reading union, which gives certi-
ficates to the readers who show the great
est mastery OF their subjects. The presi-
dent Of the union is Princess Louise, who
makes a point of signing all the certificates
of merit with her own hand.
The literary awakening Of the East End
in this manner is the outcome of the work
started there by the late Sir Walter Besant
who helped to build the Peoples palace In
the Whitechapel road. and his works are
immensely popular in the neighborhood.
Since Besant's death, a number of in
fluential authors, including Israel Gang
will, PETIT Ridge, Jerome X. Jerome and
others have taken a keen personal interest
in this movement. The stranger who goes
TO the East End today and imagines that
he will find a class of ignorant people
similar to those who lived there before
Besant's time, will be much mistaken.
Books to WOrkmen. e
Another interesting idea along the same
lies is the reading of books during the
meal-times of the working classes. A num-
Der of workers. for instance, who are oc-
cupied in the same building, will have their
lunch at the same table, and 1t is becom-
ing a custom for someone to read during
lunch hour a book which has been chosen
by the circle committee. Instead OF every
one talking about nothing in particular.
they listen to the book and discusss 1t
when they meet again at the usual weekly
gathering. The subscription to the circle
is g cents a year.
