MORRIS X. JESSUP.

IL is not often nowadays that a
tributes for the good he accomplished
ON earth. Too many of our wealthy
men seem to have determined to be
Just as bad as they can on earth and
make up for it on the other side. In
the death OF Morris X. Jessup, hOwcv-
er, the country has lost one of its
sturdy and ruggedly honest men Of
wealth. In New York, Mr. Jessup was
known as big hearted philanthropist
and will be long remembered for the
good he did during his life. Mr.. Jes-
sup, moreover, was bound to the en-
tire country in ties that few people
know about. He has been the life
and backbone of the many expeditions
the north pole, and place there first
the flag of our nation. If Lieutenant
Peary deserves great credit for his
perseverance, in sticking to his quest,
Mr.. Jessup deserves no less common
dation for the part he has taken in
helping the intrepid explorer time and
again In raising money for successive
attempts. Even now Peary is some
where in the Arctics at his favorite
pastime, battling with the ice and
cold, preparatory to another dash for
the pole, unconscious of the fact that
his greatest admirer and staunch
helper Is no more. Peary may or may
not be successful this time, but we,
as a nation, are proud of what he has
already accomplished in the field of
Arctic exploration and we likewise
realize our indebtedness to the man
who aided him 50 faithfully, Morris
K. Jessup.

WITH SHOT GUNS THEY
FORM BARR|CAOE
Believe They Are Marked by
Mysterious Enemy.

Worcester, Mass, Jan. 23-Henry T.
Harrington, a wealthy Shrewsbury
farmer, and his family, have barricad-
ed themselves in their home and are
well armed with shotguns, believing
that they are marked for death by
mysterious enemies. On July 81, Har-
rington was stabbed by drunken man
who was later arrested and fined for
the act. Early this month, George Har-
rington, son, was shot in the back,
the bullet going within half an inch Of
vital spot. Two days ago, Harry
Stanton, an employee on the farm, was
choked and left for dead in his wagon
some distance from the farm, the
horse finding its way home alone. 1t
is supposed that he was mistaken for
Harrington's son, William.

Ex-convict Then Placed Hand
In Wound and Jerked
Out Arteries.
TOLD STORY IN A WHISPER.
LOVER OBJECTED TO THE At
TENTION OF OTHERS AND
WHILE BUGGY RIDING MADE
THE ALMOST FATAL ASSAULT.

Anderson, Ind, Jan. 23.-In a tone
barely audible four feet from the wit
ness stand Miss Ida Scott, 90 years
old. daughter of Andrew Farmer, told
in the circuit court this afternoon of
an alleged attack made upon her by
Shirley Doyle, "A years old, a convict
who was on parole from prison, when,
it is alleged, he slashed the throat of
Miss Scott and then attempted suicide
while they were out buggy riding on
Sunday evening, March 10, 1905.
Miss Scott could not talk much
above a whisper because a razor that
Doyle is alleged to have used on her
throat severed the windpipe and so
injured her tongue that she is unable
to speak aloud or articulate distinctly.
The Jurors had to move their chairs
up close to the witness In order to hear
her testimony.
Miss Scoa testified that during the
buggy ride Doyle inquired she had
other friends and that she told him
she had and would go with them. A
few minutes later, she testified, Doyle
drew an instrument Of some kind that
she did not see and cut her throat
from ear to ear. and Immediately af-
terward inserted his hand in the gap
ing wound and Jerked out arteries. He
then drove her TO the home of his
brother, Martin Doyle, who summoned
a physician, and two hours later her
father came after her.
Doyle is charged with attempting to
murder Miss Scott. He is "a years
old and the son of a farmer.

ART OF WALKING.
The First Requisite For a Good Gait
Is Good Poise.

Is Good Poise.
The delightful art of walking, the
happy practice Of vagabondage which
Stevenson and Whitman praised so
well, the most innocent of pastimes,
the simplest of exercises, is in danger
of falling into allegiance, says Bliss
Carman in the Delneator.
Our fashionable people affect one
ridiculous manner OF walking and
then another year after year, but al
most no one thinks it worth while to
learn to walk normally. The normal
walk is not matter of caprice, but of
art 1t lends itself to the infinite va
rieties of character and becomes in
each instance expressive of the indi-
vidual, so that we recognize man by
his gait as easily as by his voice.
The first requisite of good walking is
a good poise. If the body is well
poised at each point of it's motion, the
motion itself must be good. The proc
ess of walking which has been describ-
ed as a series of falls is, to be some
what more accurate, q series of falls
and recoveries so insensibIy merged
that there is no saying where the fall
ends and the recovery begins. In walk
ing we are in a continuous state of I'M
stable equilibrium. We pass gradual
ly from one position to another, yet
are never out OF poise. We are play
ing with gravity. A good walker spins
the earth deftly beneath his feet, as an
acrobat in a circus, lying on his back,
spins barrel or a painted ball.

BEHIND THE SCENES.
The Indifference of the Actor to His
Stage Companions.

stage companions.
The Indifference of the actor of al
most every grade to the play and his
fellow players Is to the outsider one Of
the many inunderstandab BILE things
about this little known profession.
There is an authentic case of an actor
who gained sufficient favor and fortune
In certain play to appear in 1t con-
tinuously for four seasons. Although
he naturally played the principal part,
he did not appear until the second act,
and it is well known fact that during
those four years he never saw the first
act played or any part of It, There is
no life behind the scenes. because &C
tors and actresses who amount to any
thing go at once to their dressing rooms
Immediately their scenes on the stage
are finished
I recall an instance of young wom-
an whose dancing was a genuine sen
sation on Broadway for several years.
She was very young and very pretty.
and her engagement did much to es-
tnblish the success Of the theater at
which she appeared. 1t must have
been quite two years after she achiev-
ed her first success when the star, who
was also the manager and owner of
the theater, casually remarked one
night in his dressing room: Lets go
down on the stage and look at Miss
- dance. / have never seen her. but
they tell me she Is very good"-Outing

RURAL HOLSTERS
BECOME SLEUTHS
Many Horse Thief Detective
Associations Are Being
Formed in State.
FOSTERED BY NEW LAW.
COME MEMBERS OF UNIQUE
ALLIANCES, WIDE POWERS
WHICH THEY ACCEPT.

That all era of great morality and
strict conformity TO law is dawning Is
the belief OF the attaches of the secre-
tary of states office in Indianapolis.
The theory is that any state that has
great number of officers who make
it their duty TO suppress crime must
necessarily have high grade OF NOR
ais Further. il all these officers OF
the law are organized and the organ
izations are incorporated with all for
mality afforded by the statutes. their
work must be effective to the highest
degree.
All this philosophy prefaces the an
nouncement that scores and scores OF
horsethief detective associations are
being organized these days. Already
about seventy-five of these organiza-
tons have filed articles of incorpora-
ton with the secretary of state at
$3.50 each and still they come. But
what does $3.50 amount to when there
is received in return a beautifully em-
bossed charter with a golden seal?"
is asked.
The recognition which is now being
accorded the horsethief detective asso-
Citations is one which has been sought
for many years. Horsethief detective
associations have existed in Indiana
for a decade or more but never until
this year have they been recognized
by the commonwealth at $3.50 each,
Just how the present law relating to
such organizations was enacted, car
ries with it a story.
Effect of New State Law.
! Last winter when the legislature
was in session scores of rural disciples
of Sherlock Holmes journeyed to In
dianapolis to get horsethief legisla-
ton. They wished a law that would
make it necessary for them to file ar
! ticles of incorporation with the secre-
tary of state when such organizations
are formed In 1891 a law was enact
ed requiring all corporations to file
their articles with the secre tary OF
state, but this was a general law and
was not needed by the horsethef de-
! tectiye associations. They continued
| to file their articles merely with the
county recorder What they desired
was a little law of their own.
| After many committee sessions. this
law was finally drafted. 1t now occu-
! pies two full pages in the acts of 1907,
and looks Just as imposing as the
blind tiger bill or the private banking
act. 1t gives wide powers to horse
thief detective associations as follows
They may sue and be sued, plead and
be implicated, answer and be answer
ed in any court of competent jurisdic
/ ton, and last. but not least may have
and use a common seal and alter it al
their pleasure. 1t provides also that
the officers of such organizations shall
/ have power to pursue and arrest
horsethieves and all other criminals
against the laws of the state.
