Ike SOME OTHER EPlTAPHS
Seeming Generosity Of Close Fisted
Old Man Had ShreWd Purpose
Back of II.

~ was called in by close listed OLD
merchant the other day." a Boston
lawyer remarked smiling. HE wanted
me to draw his will, and this l pro
ceeded to do, following his verbal In
struction. Presently he said:
"'To each and every clerk who has
been in my employ continuously for
ten years l give ten thousand dollars
This seemed like a considerable
sum to me and I ventured slight pro
test, as he had a number of daughters
and his entire fortune was not large.
"'Oh, that's all right he said, with
crooked little smile You know peo-
pie have always said that I was close
and hard and l want them to think
well of me when l am gone
Il was little touched, and said
something, but he waved it aside and
we continued with the draft. When it
was finished and as / was about to
leave the office, the old fellow smiled
again his crooked little smile.
"'About those ten thousand dollar
legacies, he said, there isn't a clerk
in my place who has been with me
over two years-but it will look well

HE NEEDED THE MONEY
THEREFORE NEGRO POSTMAS-
TER EMBEZZLED MONEY
ORDER FUNDS,

Helena, July 23.-"Because l need
ed the money" is the reason Wade
Brown, negro postmaster at Fergu-
son, Phillips county, Arkansas, gave
when arrested here Wednesday by
Deputy United States Marshal W. F.
Clements for the embeZZlement of
$256.66 of money order funds. He
made the statement to Postoi1ice In
spector E. r. Cochran when the latter
checked up the accounts Of the office
at Ferguson and discovered that the
engro was short in his accounts. Mr..
Cochran also has the Negroes written
confession, in which he admits TAX
ing the money.
Five negroes at Ferguson are on
Browns bond for $1,000 and the
shortage will be made good.
Brown waived a preliminary exam
ination before United States Commits
sioner Emerson r. Crum and was re-
leased on $500 bond to await the ac-
ton of the United States court.
The postal authorizes have learned
that the last time Browns accounts
were checked up he was short, but
managed to slip in other money to
make his showing all right.

PULLEN IS TO BE HANGED
CONDEMNED MAN SPEAKS BIT
TERLY OF MRS. DELONEY
PATHETIC SCENE.

Ashdown, July 23.-Judge James j..
Steele yesterday morning sentenced
Oscar Pullen to be hanged at Ash
down September 2, 1910. After pro
nouncing the sentence the judge talk
ed to the prisoner, and told him that
he did not believe that he was a bad
man at heart. Judge Steele said he
hoped that Pullen would get forgive
ness, but that he had no choice in the
matter. After the sentence was pro
nounced, Pullen made a statement
thanking the court and officers for
their treatment.
My mother and father tried their
best to rear me right. My mother
is dead, and there is no doubt but that
she is in heaven. | believe that | can
get forgiveness from God. Every
thing that l have told during this
trial is the truth and nothing but the
truth so help me God. | was led into
this by Mrs. Deloney, unthoughtedly,
and | blame no one except the woman.
"One-half minute after committed
this deed, if had confessed, it seems
that it would have opened my heart
better than now. | never got any re-
lief until | confessed. | will give the
sheriff no trouble"
The scene was pathetic, and there
were tears in the eyes of the judge
officers and spectators, Pullen has
said that he was ready to be hanged.
An effort will be made, it is said
to get the governor to commute his
sentence to life Imprisonment.

DEJARNETT CASE
ENDS HAPPILY

Rison, July 23.-Letters arriving
here from Memphis tell of the cul-
mination of the remarkable story OF
little Felix DeJarnett, whose strange
case touched the heart strings of this
community, till the very grand jury
room was invaded by sympathy and
sentiment which cleared away i'm
pending charges of burglary and
grand larceny, and restored the little
fellow to his mother who had mourn
ed him as lost for II years. The ID
year-old pupil of school of crime,
the victim of some Pagan who was
making a burglar of the lad, has en-
tered with boyish zest into a new life.
His mother writes that under her care
and home influences all traces of the
feaful experiences he has undergone
are being eradicated and that he is
anxious for the opening of school. AS
predicted in these dispatches, the
grand jury refused to find an lndlct-
ment against the lad, who had been
held in jail here several months,
bound over on charges mentioned. His
arrest, following a store burglary, in
which the man accomplice escaped,
led to the discovery that he was the
son of Mrs DeJarnett of Memphis,
formerly of Roe, Ark, from whom ne
had been kidnapped when three years
old. The discovery of this fact was
due to a remarkable coincidence in
that he was visited at the jail by a
Rison lady who had known his moth
err when a girl and detected strong
resemblance in toe boy to the brother
of her girlhood chum.

BOLD ROBBERY, THIS.

Ellisville, July 23.-What purports
to be the boldest hold-up that ever
occurred in this community came to
light yesterday. Night before last
L. H. Cherry, the night Waterman at
Kitchens mill, half mile south of
this place, persuaded j. M. Wilson,
the sawyer for the same mill, to sleep
with him in little house near the
boilers. Wilson alleges that when ne
was almost asleep Cherry placed near
his nose a pillow on which he had
poured chloroform. Before Wilson
had fully succumbed to the drug he
aroused and found Cherry going
through his pockets. On asking what
he was doing, Cherry drew his pistol
and demanded a check which he
thought Wilson had received during
the day. Wilson said he had no check
and ran; then Cherry shot at him five
times, but none of the shots hit the
mark. Cherry escaped.

MUST BE LAVISH WITH TIPS
According to This, Extraordinary Ora
tuities Are Expected by New
York Walters.

We have the word of a New York
magistrate that his salary of $1,000 a
year is scarcely big enough to enable
him to pay the expected tips at the
New York restaurants. The magts-
trate in question was called upon to
settle the matrimonial disputes of a
waiter and his wife. Incidentally he
asked what pay the waiter received
and he was told 500 month. And
how much in tips?" inquired the magis-
trate. The waiter hesitated and final
ly confessed to SIS or $40 a month.
You can't expect me to believe that,
said the court, for l dine at Sherry's
often and | know that If person
gives the waiter tip of less than one
dollar he is scowled at. One can't even
look at the head waiter without it cost
ing him five dollars. My salary OF
$1,000 a year is scarcely big enough to
cover the expense of tips"

MILWEE LOOKS A WINNER.

Judge Frank Milwee of Clarendon
looks to be an easy winner for the
speakership of the next house of rep
resentatives. He is the logical man
for the place, man who has won his
spurs by hard work and by his 10y
atty to the Democratic party. AL
though not loud mouthed or a gallery
player in any sense, it is an admitted
fact that Milwee is and has for two
years been the strongest factor in
Arkansas politics. He is one of the
sort that goes up and not down, doer
and not talker. He will not stop
at the speakership, either.-Walnut

Tbs Rule Of the Road.

There appears to be no definite rec
ord explaining the prevailing custom
of turning our vehicles to the right
in this country. One authority says
that it grew out of the fact that in our
early colonial days, before the arrival
of rigs for pleasure driving, the
drivers of heavy vehicles used in
transportation fell into the way Of
turning to the right,
The English custom of turning to
the left is an ancient one 1t obtains
in practically all of the British prov
inces A grizzled driver in Bermuda,
asked once why all drivers turned to
the left, explained that it was done so
they could see just how much room
they had.

Early Mail Routes.

The first record contained In our
colonial history of any kind of mail
service dates from 1876, when the
court in Boston appointed Mr.. John
Hayward to take in and convey let
tiers according to their direction" In
December, 1915, arrangements were
made to receive letters in Boston from
Williamsburg, Va, during four weeks
of the summer time and eight weeks
in winter. In 1888 Henry Pratt was
appointed riding postmaster" for all
the routes between Philadelphia and
Newport Va, to set out in the begin
ming of each month and return in "a
days. Postage stamps were first in
troduced into the United States in
