not let him alone. She was beaten
again, and this time a stout pen was
built, and the hogs were shut up. The
farmers had of course taken sides.
Some commended that Chisholm had ex-
hibited mean and unneighborly spirit
and others that the widow had been
derelict in not mending her fences, and
there were much talk and discussion.
II occurred now and then that the two
PRINCIPALS met on the highway or at
the crossroads meeting house, but
while Chisholm lifted his hat and
bowed as If there was nothing on his
mind the widow. except for her blaz-
ing eyes. seemed carved Of stone.
That pen held the hogs for a long
six weeks, but hogpens have their
weak points. and patience and perse-
verance will seek them out. The hot
sun warped board and made an open
ing, and the Industrious swine enlarged
it until one night they all passed out
and headed straight for the next farm.
They fetched up among the cabbages,
pumpkins. squashes, melons and car
rots, and during the long hours Of
darkness they ran riot They were
missed from the pen early next morn
ing. and the widow sat down on the
doorstep and cried. She cried because
she was vexed. and she cried because
she was woman. Every minute she
expected to hear the crack of CHS
holm's rifle. and she fully realized that
any further appeal to the law would
be wasted. She was .vexed at the

neighbor stood before her and bowed
and said:

"And how many more have you
killed?" she asked.
"None. I've just driven 'em home"
But why-why"-
Because l see how it is. l must
either kill off your whole drove or
build pen myself. l shall come over
tonight to talk to you about it,"
He appeared an hour after supper,
and it was II o'clock before he went
home. Even then the talk" was not
finished. AS a matter of fact. 1t re-
quired Il great many evenings and was
only concluded one winters night
when she laid her head on his shoulder

me. then the farm. the hogs and I are
yours"

Was. Some Mud.

Of all the yarns that ever came
down the line regarding deep mud
the following should be entitled to
the blue ribbon. 1t happened in
the place where mud originated: A
man was walking along the roadside
one summer day and noticed fair
ly good looking hat out in the road.
Reaching out with his cane, he gave
it cut and was startled to hear a
voice exclaim: "Here! What the
deuce are you doing?"
Then he made the astonishing
discovery that the owner of the
headpiece was under the hat up to
his ears in mud.
"Great heavens!" exclaimed the
man who had hit the hat. 'Ts that
mud as deep as that"
"Deepw cried the victim. "Why,
man alive, I'm standing on load
of hay !"-Lippincott's Magazine.

CRAP GAME COSTS BRYANT
Tennessee Negro Caught and Held
for Murder of
Fight.

Detectives Maloney and Van Dusen OF
the local police force expect a reward of
$500 as the result of larbit of detective
work on their parts which has resulted
in the capture and Identification of an
alleged murderer. Vergil Bryant, alias
william Brown, a colored man, is the
supposed criminal, and is being held by
the police for a deputy sheriff from
Memphis, Tenn, who will arrive tonight
or Tuesday to take Bryant to Memphis
to answer the murder charge.
The shooting and subsequent death OF
Will Hamp, also colored, in Memphis on
August IS, 1904, is the crime for which
Bryant is wanted. The latter was picked
up last Tuesday by the local detectives
as a suspect, the sleuths being informed
of the crime and a description of the
criminal. He was booked at the police
station and held while the Memphis au-
thorities we're telegraphed about the
case. Late last night a reply was re-
ceived from the south, saying that Bry-
ant was the man wanted for the KILLING
and that an officer would come for him
Bryant is now held as a fugitive from
Justice and has changed from a jolly anc
talkative negro TO one of a morose anC
sullen disposition since told that he was
being held for murder. 1t is understood
that a crap" game and the usual argu
ment and fight afterward were the occa'
sion of the trouble.
An Omaha negress, the wife Of another
man, is said to be connected in som'
way with Bryant, having followed hin
from Tennessee. Her husband and Bry
ant have had trouble since the latte
came here. When asked what she knew
about the murder of Hamp, she said Il
the detectives:
"shet up, you man, you-all is too
smart"
1t is thought, however, that her knowl
edge of the murder extends only to tn,
information Bryant may have given her
and she is not thought to have had any
thing to do with II.

NEW YORK. Jan. l5.-"The public
schools in the city OF New York shall have

studies for boys, so as to develop bodily
strength"
This is the entire text Of a hill which
Cor oner Hamburger says he will have in
troeuced as the result OF a suggestion from
DR.. p. F. O'Hanlon of this. city, the
coroner's physician.
Postmortem examination Of bodies of
boys have impressed DR.. O'Hanlon with
the great lack OF chest development these
lads must a had during life. As the
best means OF safely attaining lung de-
velopment in the physically formative years
he urges the effectiveness of boxing, pro.
perry conducted. He mentions President
Roosevelt as an example of the efficacy
Of the manly sport in chest building and
believes that rightly taught in the public
schools. boxing will do much to eliminate
ruffianism and will develop manliness as
well as enduring physique.
