From a "pOHn EGMer. "

Inclosing his yearly subscrip-
ton to the Recorder, Mr.. L. E.
Watson, of Lebanon, Tenn,
writes of his native home as fol-
lows:
The receipt of the Recorder
is like getting a letter from home.
In 1866 | left North Carolina,
Durham was then a small sta
ton, and | had not been back
until about twelve months ago,
and was surprised at the many
changes that had been made dur.
ing the Al years l had been alb
sent, l found some of my old
friends but the majority of them
had crossed over the silent river.
Il would be glad to visit old
Hillsboro, the place of my birth,
where l might have met viii
Hayes, who was one of my old
school mates, together with
John Laws, Dave Parks and
others. Whenever | think of
Dave my minds runs back to the
time when We were young men,
On one occasion we had all been
out to a party and spent the en-
tire night. About the break OF
day we found Dave standing on
the square in Hillsboro laughing
so that he had attracted quite a
number about him, and when We
inquired the cause of so much
laughing Dave said he was laugh
ing because he had not gone to
bed the night before and would
not have to wash his face and
hands that morning. l hope to
soon visit my old home and live
over again the happy days OF
youth.
Il love my adopted home, but
still have a tender place for the
Old North State. This is a good
country, good people, good water,
good churches and schools. W.
get good prices for crops VT
raise and have little trouble il
raising good crops. l hope in the
future to tell you something Of
this section of my adopted state. y

Invention to Eliminate Types.

An invention to discard the whole

has been working upon his models for
several years in Pittsburg. Application
has been made for patents covering
his ideas. The invention is calculated
to revolutionize the art of printing.

stork,s Joke on Ships Doctor.

His fellow officers on the Majestic Of
the White Star line had a joke to tell
on DR.. French. the ships surgeon.
when that vessel reached New York
the other day. and he seemed to enjoy
it as much as any one says the New
York Herald. While the ship was in
midocean a few days ago DR.. French
hurried below in response to a sum-
mons from the purser announcing that
the stork had paid a visit to the liner.
He was just in time to welcome quad
ruplets that had arrived in the ships
saloon. The mother was Jennie, the
youngest Of the ships cats. Three gen.
erations of Jennie's family, herself. her
mother and her grandmother, have
been on the Majestic for several years.
Jennie affects the dining saloon. She
and her kittens were moved to the fore

found the family in the dining room.

BISON BACK ON PRAIRIE.
Former Inmates of New York Zoo Do
ina Well In Oklahoma.


Uncle Sans herd of fifteen buffa-
Ices, which were taken from the New
York geological gardens to the Wichi-
ia national forest, Oklahoma, in the
early fall. are doing we'll in their new
home, according to advices which have
been received at Washington from the
supervisors headquarters at Cache.
Since leaving New York the herd has
celebrated the birth Of two fine buff
falo calves, n of which has been
named Hornaday, after the name of
the director of the New York gardens
which gave them to the government,
and the other Oklahoma, after the new
state which was also just born after
the herds arrival.
Keeper Frank Rush, an old western
cow puncher and experienced buffalo
man, who has handled the herd since
it was taken from New York, says
that alfalfa hay has put his charges
in fine shape and that the big prairie
beasts are again thriving in their ma
tive land. The buffaloes have an 5000
acre fenced park in the Wichita for
est, in which they can charge and
snort. During the winter the animals
will be fed alfalfa hay and protected
from the weather and disease in a
number Of large shelter sheds which
have been built in the Enclosure. In
the spring they will be let out to roam
over the Wichita range, and gradually
they will be encouraged to rustic for
themselves, an instinct they have par
TALLY lost through years of domestica-

perts figure that in time they will re-
gain the prowess of their forefathers,

FUTURE OF AEROPLANEs.
Farman Expects Five Hour Aerial
Line Between Paris and London.

Farman Expects Five Hour Aerial
Line Between Paris and London.
Henry Farman. the French aeronau
who recently won the Deutsch-Arch-
deacon prize. in an interview at Paris
on the future of aerial navigation said
that the best results in aeroplane trav-
ell would be had from a combination of
the principles of the Bleriot machine
and the cubic cellular %aeroplane used
by Dumont and himself. For
the present he regards %aeroplanes as
purely sporting machines, but expects
their development to be rapid and
foresees the time when an %aeroplane
omnibus will cover the distance be-
tween Paris and London in five hours.
M. Farman feels certain that within
twelve mouths aeroplanes will be able
to travel seventy-tive to a hundred
miles at an insignificant cost compared
with the expense Of running an auto
mobile for the same distance.

0HIoAN's PLAN TO FREE THAW
Offers to Take the Prisoners Place
For S3,OCO,OOO.

For $3,0C0,000.
OF the thousands of letters received
by the various interested persons dur
ing the second trial of Harry Thaw,
charged with the murder of the late
Stanford White. the most amazing
came to the wife of the prisoner the
other day. says the New York Times.
The writer was a man in Ohio, who
sent a 600 page communication by reg
istered mail.
His proposition is to change places
with the prisoner for $3,000,O 900, to be
placed in the hands of an intermedi-
airy, he to run the risk of the death
chair or Matteawan. The letter was
accompanied by photographs showing
a likeness between the writer and the
prisoner. The letter is sanely written
and goes into minute details of the
proposed escape. The double, it is
proposed, is to visit Thaw wearing "A
wig and a disguise that can be easily
changed from one to the other. The
writer says that he is not making the
proposition to kill time, as he is a
married man and has a family, but
has been a failure in life. The COM
munication was turned over to her
husbands counsel by Mrs. Thaw.
One Of the proposals made is that
from a Staten Island hypnotist, who
offers for a sum Of money to put a
quietus on District Attorney Jerome
and ruin his summing up by telepathy.
Another is from a ventriloquist who
for a fee will sit in the courtroom and
when the foreman opens his mouth to
pronounce the verdict Of the jury will
throw his voice in his direction and
pronounce Thaw not guilty. He guar
antees that this will at least result in
q mistrial.
Cranks anxious to marry Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw if her husband goes to the
electric chair or to the madhouse have
put in 100 applications so far.
