A cyclist had left bis machine out

Three other cyclists had put up for
refreshments close by. and one Of
their machines, a tandem, was seized
by the victim of the theft for the pur-
pose Of pursuit This hasty act was

A second later the owner OF the last

and. seeing no other bicycle handy on
which to give chase. jumped into
cab Here there were three men on
stolen cycles and the fourth man in a
cab all racing as If mad. The man on
the tandem finally caught the thief,
the next man caught him and the
next caught him. and so on. until
there was very complicated row.
Ia the end there was an pxplana-

Lake night riders. was renominated
for Circuit Judge last Saturday in
a Democratic primary. -1His major
ity over his opponent was about
5000. District Attorney Caldwell,
who prosecuted the night riders,
was renominated without opposition
The result of this primary is a
striking illustration of the fact that

frenzy it is brave officer who turns
a deaf ear to outsideiissclamor and
cooks only to the letter of tie law

The situation in West Tennessee
is not unique. Under the same con-
ditions the voters in almost any Ju-

do the same thing. d Voters. respect

Life In the Country.

There are hardships in the country;
struggles are necessary to wrest a
livelihood from the soil or from busi-
ness in small community. But
every stroke can be made to count
for permanence. The food and the
air are better; mans independence is
more real, where he can own the roof
that shelters him and the ground
upon which he can grow his provi-
sions. Every COW or horse added to
his holdings is an increase of his cap
ital Little by little, year by year, he
can, with industry and good judg-
ment increase his store of worldly
goods and give to his children tan
gible inheritance, a foothold in their
own land, an anchorage from which
the shifting tides of trade cannot dis
lodge them. And while such family
is living it's own life, solving its own
problems, it may enjoy the same lit
erary and artistic pleasures, and the
same general advantages that the
city family has.-Columbia State.
