Woodpecker's Ear for Music.

"A T1tusv1lle wOodpecker finds amuse-

different neighborhoods by humping
vigorously upon terminal cans at the

Chicago, Aug. 29-The famous story

Bowman of 1854 Ellis avenue, tear
ully and protesting his love, handed
his wife over to Frederick Hayes, a
'ounger man.
ne trade of lineman with the Chicago
Telephone Co, met his future wife at
Florida summer resort. They were
etrothed. and Bowman returned to
Chicago to make them home. Seven
Jears he worked and waited. Two
|ears ago he got a well-paying posi-
ion with the telephone company.
Then the young couple were married
OIL went happily until they moved
o their present residence, where young
Hayes lived. A strange understanding
iprang UP between the lad, who is on
20. and Mrs. Bowman. Both fought
'gainst their emotions. Then Hayes
nd Mrs. Bowman decided to leave
;hicagO. The woman called her hus-
,and on the telephone and said good
". Bowman begged for a farewell
Meeting. The three met at the Palm
err House, and without malice or con-
tention agreed that Mrs. Bowman
hould seek divorce and marry
Hayes.
Hayes, whose father was chief coun-
sci for the drainage board and bust
ness associate of Congressman John r.
Mann. said: II love the woman ana
he loves me. l do not see why our
greement with her husband is not
all right. She and he cannot be hap
~ together, and he does not want to
ruin her life by wanting her to live
with him longer
"My wife was my whole life," sob
bed Bowman. Il would do anything
for her. and if she loves this man l
am willing to give her to him. 1 would
make her happy if it cost me my life.
do not know what I will do now
without her. Life is not worth living.
From the time we moved into this
apartment l noticed the love which
sprang up between them. They were
frank with me, and my wife is sorry
for me. I will never forget her, bun
hope that she will be happy. 1t would
kill me to think that she would awake
to find that she had made a mistake -
Il am between two fires" said Mrs
Bowman. II know my husband loves
me and I cannot bear to be cruel to
him. Still, ! love Fred and I know
that 1 will be happy with him. Dom,

Beverly. Mass, Aug 29.-The quaint

Saturday afternoon entertained Presi-

his vacation days. The President has
declined practically every invitation
that has come to him since his arrival
in Beverly, and his intention OF going
to Gloucester Saturday had been kept
secret.
Tafts visit was in compensation for
his inability to attend the pageant of
the Canterbury Pilgrims, held there
just prior to the adjournment of Con-
gress. Saturday the members of the
pageant committee and many of the
other prominent citizens of Gloucester
were invited to the home of JohE Hays

Balloon Shooting.

Speculations are rife as to the reasons
why balloons which recenely passed over
southern states were shot at several
times by the inhabitants. The same
thing occurred not long ago in Vermont,
and last year other cases of the same sort
were reported. The shooters have not
been found out and queried. Probably it
would be difficult to identify them, and
possibly if they could be found they
might find some difficulty in explanation.
The suggestion of wanton malice which
has been made does not seem applica-
Bile, since the balloons had done no harm.
nor could those who shot have any
grudge either against these particular
balloonists or toward the aeronautic class
as whole. Another theory is that there
is an instinct among shooters that every
thing that flies in the air Is to be shot
at, and that perhaps these shooters, hav-
ing never heard of the balloon. took the
apparition in the sky as novel and dan
gerous creature.
Probably, however, the true reason Is
more indefinite and instructive yet. due
to well known trait which grows
stronger as intelligence and knowledge
decrease 1t Is l..e feeling shown by man
and beast that anything strange and en-
tirely outside the observers experience is
something dangerous and threatening
1t has been shown by the fact that in
primitive languages stranger" and 'ene-
my" are expressed by the same word. 1t
was illustrated by the almost universal
fright of horses when they first saw We
hicles in motion not drawn by their own
kind. A modern example was that in
Punch's famous illustration of the nav
vies' stand: "'Ullo Array; 'ere's a fur
riner Let's 'eave 'arf brick at him.
The natural tendency Of ignorance is to
find something terrifying in what has
never been known before. No doubt the
balloon shooters thought the balloon to
be something inimical and dangerous,
and II they could be questioned would
plead that they were defending them
selves or their neighbors against the
threat involved in the new appearance

Newburyport. Aug. 29.-Freeman r.
Butler, prisoner, who was being
transferred from police court to the
Jail Saturday, made bold effort to es-
cape, refusing to stop when Patrolman
James F. Murphy brought gun play in
to the chase.
Butler was captured after a spirited
chase by John O'Connell. well-known
High school football star, who headed
rim off before he could reach a passing
freight train and tackled him.
1t is evident that Butler has been
re aiding accounts of Clyde Bruhm's
sensational escape.
He had been remanded to Jail for the
larceny of canvas and cigars from a
local confectioner and being only IL
years of age the officer felt that it
would be safe to transfer him without
irons.
When near the Jail entrance Sheriff
Ayers came out of the prison yard door
and dropped parcel which the officer
stopped to pick up for him.
The scurrying of feet brought the
two officials to attention and officer
Murphy say his quarry hiking it oft
like deer.
He Immediately started in pursuit
and decided to scare Butler by threat
ening to shoot. This had no effect ard
the officer fired in the air. Butler ran
the faster.
He was making good progress toward
the railroad when O'Connell, aroused
by Butler. sheered off and Officer Muir
ply cried out to O'Connell to catch
him. @
OConnell is one of the best, all
athletes in the High school and it took
him but few seconds to get within
diving distance of Butler. He downed
him snd held him until the officer ar
rived, when the prisoner was ironed
and brought back to jail

Citizens in Balltown, Whitefield and
Malta banded together to prevent the
sheriffs from serving precepts ana TO
drive off surveyors. 1t became neces-
sary to call military force to assist
the sheriffs and in Malta Chadwick had
been employed by Aaron Choate TO
make a survey Of the disputed land. "A
band of armed men disguised as Indi-
ans appeared, and fired three shots at
Chadwick, who died two days later
from the injuries he received. At that
time there was a report, which was
never substantiated, that Chadwick
was one of a band known as Malta
Indians" who were bound by an oath
written and signed with blood, to pre-
vent surveys and resist proprietors in
enforcing claims for their lands; and
that because of infidelity to this oath
he was killed by fellow "Maltas." Da-
vid Lynn, Jabes Leigh, Elijah Barton,
Prince Kahn, Nathaniel Lynn, Jonas
Proctor, Ansel Meigs, Joel Weber and
Adam Pitts were suspected of the
murder, and were arrested and jailed
After being confined in the Jail at Au-
gusta it was reported an attempt was
to be made to rescue them, and 800
men were detached from General Sew
alrs brigade for protection of the jail
In October the grand jury found an ir-
dictment against the prisoners for the
murder. There were more reports
about attempted Jail delivery, and SOL

tors. The trial~was begun on Nov. IS,
