Sheriff Jade Houpt probably was fatal

to arise, and Chitwood rode through
Ouachita avenue on the wounded
beast, brandishing his revolver and
ordering every one from the streets.
He escaped to the mountains. but was
finally captured and taken to prison
in chains. Deputy Sid Houpt pur-
sued George Chitwood. who had
jumped into buggy and fought off
the officer with buggy whip until
Chitwod was shot in the abdomen.

TRUTH TELLING IS A VICE

is why women are more forceful than
men,"
There are 999 truths told to every
one lie In politics. said DR.. Barnes.
THE truth generally is told in trade
and politics That 999 truths are
told to every one lie in politics may
seem doubtful. The trouble is that
the one lie stands out so plainly that
truthful statements are doubted.
Truth-teIling is now vice and not a
virtue. People doubt the truth when
it is told to them, and believe that
most everything they hear is false
hood"
DR.. Barnes said that the moral con-
diticn Of children should be graded in
schools just as the subjects Of read,
ing and writing are graded.
Taking up the child at the age OF
IS or Ia, he said, there then was q
broadening of disposition and nature
He declared that children in a state
of transition are not the same today
as they were yesterday.
DR.. Barnes drew illustrations show
ing the cunningness required to head
off the child that is prone to tell lies.
He believes many do so unwittingly.
The problem is how to manage them
and to show them right from wrong.
1t requires tact. And after tact has
been pursued, after the youngster has
been headed off, the thing to do is to
see that the child takes step toward
righteousness.

EXCITING STEER-RoPING CON-
TEST AT A FLORIDA PICNIC.
Capt. Thomas Lindsay, the States
Cowboy King, Became a Hero,
but Lost His Famous
Horse,

Trenton, FLA picnic was given
at Fort Fannin on the Suwanee river
the other day and a steer-roping con-
test was advertised as part of the
days entertainment. Capt Thomas J.
Lindsay, who is known as the cowboy
king, and is the champion of West
Florida, was to contest with Bill
Sykes, the champion of Levy county
Captain Lindsay arrived promptly
at ten a. M, mounted on his famous
pony, Greasy Streak, but Sykes had
not yet arrived. Many cheers were
given for Captain Lindsay, and Kisses
given for Sykes, but Lindsay pointed
out that something might have hap.
pened to prevent Sykes attendance.
and proposed to wait 80 minutes for
his arrival After waiting 20 minutes.
a messenger arrived and reported
Sykes was too sick to attend. This
was a great disappointment to the
crowd, but Captain Lindsay deter
mined to give an exhibition of his
own.
He went to the corral where large
herd of fierce bulls had been penned,
and turning them out, headed them
for the river. Captain Lindsay thought
that when they reached the bluff thai
they would turn and circle the en-
closed side of the picnic grounds, but
the day being warm, and the bulli
fretted by their confinement in the
corral, they plunged over the bluff in
to the river. Captain Lindsay war
just in the rear of large bull wher
the leaders went over, and threw, his
lariat with unerring aim around the
big animals horns.
All would have been well, but when.
the captain stopped his pony, he was
going so fast that the animal skidded
on his launches to within three feet
of the edge of the bluff and when the
bull struck the water the treacherous
bank gave way, throwing both horse
and rider into the river. Captain Lind
say is an expert swimmer, and would
not have been in any danger If his
spurs had not become entangled, and
he was carried under with his strug
Cling pony. Two men were in a boat
fishing near by, and went to his as
sistance. Lindsay succeeded in cut
ting loose just in time to escape
drowning. His friends were uneasy
about his condition for quite awhile
but he came around all right in ar
hour or so, and is in as good shape as
ever The people, however. regrel

SIGHT Is RESTORED KILLED The HORSE
BLIND MUSICIAN REGAlNS VISION
AFTER sTORK's VISIT.
New Jersey Mans Recovery of Eye
sight Is Considered Marvellous by
Physicians Who Thought His
Case Hopeless.

Mercerville, N. although he has
been married five years, Peter Mayard,
a musician, looked upon the face of
his wife for the first time but few
days ago, and he believes that the
visitation of the stork to his home
resulted in the restoration of his eye
sight. He claims that he is the hap
piest man in the world today, as he
found his wife to be prettier than he
pictured her in his mind.
Mayard's recovery of his eyesight
is considered marvellous by physicians,
who believed that he would never be
able to see again. When Mayard was
ten years old he was struck in the
right eye by baseball and the injury
resulted in total blindness. However,
this did not interfere with his educa-
ton. and when he reached the age of
twenty-one he was considered an ex-
pert pianist.
Shortly after he had attained his
majority he met Miss Mary French, a
beautiful girl of eighteen, who was
deeply impressed with his skill as a
musician. The friendship between the
two gradually deepened. Dan Cupid
took hand and the two became en-
gagged. Their marriage followed a
year later. They have been extreme
ly happy, but are now still happier.
Mrs. Mayard was taken suddenly i'll
and her husband, although blind,
started to run in order to summon
nearby physician. He thought he
could reach the house without diff
Guilty, but stumbled over an embank-
ment and fell distance of ten feet.
He was unconscious for some time.
When he was recovering he was in
formed that there was an addition to
his family in the shape of ten-pound
baby girl. 1t was few moments after
receiving this information that he
suddenly began to shout for joy, and
he made so much noise that he aroused
the neighborhood. He discovered he
could see as well as when he was a
boy. Mrs. Mayard was greatly sur
prised at the news and her husband,
when she had recovered sufficiently
for him to see her was amazed at her
appearance.
why, didn't know that had mar
ried the prettiest girl in the country"
he cried.
He asserted that he thought his
wife's appearance altogether different
than it is. Physicians who later ex-
amined the musician pronounced his
sight completely restored and attrib-
uted the restoration to the shock of
the fall and the glad news in which
the stork figured.

Indulgence. All ambitious persons
ought to be polite, but foolish persons
cannot be, for politeness is a science
requiring an understanding of psy-
chology. An opportune compliment
can create precious ally.
During centuries we ridiculed Eng
fish manners. Now we think we are
following the phlegmatic English fash
ion, but we are wrong, for in the
meantime England has changed. The
modern Englishman, although he has
a true compassion for all not born on
English soil, is always perfectly cour-
teous. Even America is improving in
this respect and only France is de-
teriorating.
There is hope, however, that the
growing interest in sport and athletics
will renew the old-time courtesy. For
does not the fencing room preserve
the tradition of elegance? The new
generation will remember, perhaps,
that their ancestors risked life for a
smile and that the learned Fontenelle

SHE HAD 1901 PROPOSALS
Young Seattle Widow, a Telephone
Operator, to Marry the Last One
to Declare.

Seattle.-New York may have It's
herd of 1856 loves in the person or one
Roscoe H. Sanborn, but Seattle has
real merry widow with 1,O01 proposals
to her credit. The one thousand and
first man is the lucky one and the
wedding will occur shortly.
The merry widow is Mrs. Ria May
Dixie, a phone operator. 1t is ques-
tionable If Mrs. Dixie ever saw more
than scant half-dozen of the1,OO1
suitors. But that did not detract
from the ardor of their love epistles.
They wrote from the north, the south,
the east and the west.
Mrs. Dixie was formerly an Iowa
girl-Ottumwa being her home. Three
years ago she married and with her
husband went to South Dakota. He
was killed in a wreck and Mrs. Dixie
bravely faced the world and took up
a claim.
She called her place ''Ottumwa," and
it is still known by that name In
South Dakota.
At the state fair In Huron, s. D.,
in 1908, Mrs. Dixie was awarded the
prize for being the prettiest young
woman in the state. Newspapers de-
voted columns to her photo and
beauty.
At first letters came by two and
three, but finally the rural delivery
man had to put on an extra mule to
aid In hauling the mail out to "Ot-
tumwa."
Mrs. Dixie has a bungalow on her
160 acres. There she opened and read
every one of the proposals.
Her house needed papering. Moth
ing would better serve the purpose
than ton OF two of love letters. Mrs.
Dixie plastered the walls and the
ceilings and used the photos for roof
ing, and with the surplus built chick

Mrs. Dixie was literally driven off
her claim. She came to Seattle In
| 1909 and found employment There,
however, her beauty attracted other
wooers, and though she fought them
off with her rugged South Dakota ex-
| perience she at last fell victim to
| Cupid, and a Seattle business man
won her hand.

Cyclone Strikes Load of Hay.

Fort Wayne, Ind.-Stacy Haines,
weighing $50 pounds, had fine view
of his fathers farm near Andrews,
Huntington county. When loading hay
in the barnyard he suddenly found
himself enveloped in cyclone, riding
along at height of % feet in the
air on top of load of hay. Then he
fell, and was short of breath when
he hit the ground, but aside from the
severe shock and some bruises was
unhurt. The wind was in a merry
mood, as shortly before the big
stunt" it caught pitchfork full of
hay and raised it 100 feet in a solid
mass, then let go and the hay was
strewn over an acre. Previous to this
Huntington county never had repu-
tation of being especially windy.

Port Townsend, Wash.-With thou

big guns of Forts Worden, Casey and
Flagler is destroying more fish than
the fishermen.
Artillery officers are now concluding

by army regulations. Among the prin-
cipal exercises applied is the dis

smokeless powder weighing several
hundred pounds are required. The
conclusion afterwards affects large
