being 10000 feet, this makes So

dial being lO,OOO rect, tnls makes oo,-
600.
The middle pointer is at two. Each
division of this middle dial registers
1000 feet, So the reading here Is 1000.
The pointer on the rlght-hand dial is
just beyond nine, but we read it at
nine, and as this is the dial that regis
tiers by 100 feet, we have 800. Adding
$4,000 and 1000 and 900, we get the to-
tai reading $4,000 feet.
But cries some one: II haven't used
$4,000 feet Of gas in one month" DO
not make the mistake of thinking so.
Take the last reading Of your dial-you
will find 1t on your gas bill-and sub
tract it from the present reading and
you will get the exact amount of gas
that has passed through the meter since
last reading. You see, gas meters can
not be turned back, and they must
meaAs sure their full 100000 cubic feet be-
fore all the pointers stand at ''0'' again.
For this reason it is necessary to sub
tract the old reading every time the
meter is read in order to get the
amount used since the last reading.
All this may sound very complicated,
but 1t is really very easy if you will
experiment in reading your meter few
times. If housekeepers would learn
to read their meters and compare them
with their bills they would be sure not
to be overcharged. News.

HANGED, BUT HE CHEATS LAW
Pronounced Dead on December 13-
Nursed to Life

Bristol, Va, Jan. 2.-According to a
report received from Greendale there
is good authority for the statement
that Noah Fulton, hanged at Abing-
don December 10 for the murder of
John Johnson, is still alive. Although
pronounced dead, it is stated Fulton's
neck was not broken by the fall. When
life was supposed to be extinct the
body was given to relatives, who hur-
riedly left for their home near Green
dale. The man has since been care
fully nursed, according to the report,
and is now in fair way of recovery
The matter is being Investigated.
The crime for which Fulton was
hanged grew out of a mountain feud
1t was contended that Fulton is weak
minded and was put up to the crime
by others.
