MUST HAVE BEEN PROUD OFT
Bodies of Men WrongfuIly Hanged
Fifty Years Ago Dug Up and
Reinforced With HOnors.

More than fifty years ago two men
were hanged in Tipperary for a muir
der they didn't commit The victim
of the homicide was landlord s
agent that everybody despised. Cir
cumstantial evidence fastened the
crime on two brothers of the name
of Mccormick, and they were hanged
When they had been safely dead for
many years and their bones had got
used to their collins there came up
conclusive evidence that they weren't
guilty at all, but had been the vic
tins of a joke of the law Then
their bodies were dug up out of the
prison burying ground and carried
to the cemetery that had been prop
erly blessed, and 10000 people
marched in procession behind them.
The Mccormick brothers must have
been very proud of this vindication
and demonstration.

BIG PHOTOGRAPH BILLS.
Society Women Annually Spend Enor-
nous Sums For Pictures.


Columns have been written about
the amount of money fashionable wo-
men spend on dress. Figures have
been given as to the cost of Partisan
gowns, hat creations, jewels, and 9TH
err articles, but no one has estimated
what these women spend for photo
graphs. 1t must be remembered that
the wearers of these gowns, hats and
jewels must be photographed, and
New York's best photographers make
small fortunes every year from this
business.
Mrs. George J. Gould's bill for
photographs last year was between
$4,000 and $4,000, says writer.
Mrs. Clarence H. Mackey is said to
have spent $4,000. Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt does not visit the pho
tographer so often, and her bill is
not so large The cOurtesies of So
ciety. however. are so many that
these women seldom refuse a re-
quest for a photograph, and conse-
quently they place orders almost
weekly with their photographers for
new pictures. Mrs. Gould has posed
for many pictures with her children,
and the pictures of Marjorie Gould at
her wedding cost more than $1,000.
Mrs. o. P. Belmont spends a great
deal of money in supplying requests
for her pictures.

Do farmers eat the proper
sort of food?

The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's good thing that this is so because
he has great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the clt,'
to increase the amount of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands.

LYNCHING IN BAKER COUNTY
Negro Attempted Assault on Little
Eight Year-Old Girl, and Was
Strung In BY Mob.

NEWTON, Ga.-Charley Wilson, a
negro, aged eighteen, was lynched in
Baker county Thursday night for an
attempted assault upon the eight
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry TisOn.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tison live near San
ders' store, in the western part of
the county. About noon Thursday,
while they were in the garden, they
heard the little girl screaming in the
house. They hurried to the house
and rescued the child from the ne
gro.
Mr.. TisOn pursued the fiend alone,
and after an exciting chase overlook
him and forced him to surrender.
He then took his prisoner and turned
him over to the officers, who started
at once for Albany, where it was in
tended to place him in jail for safe
keeping, as it was known that an at
tempt would be made to lynch the
brute as soon as the news of his in
human act and his arrest could be
spread throughout the sparsely set
tied section of that community.
Before the officers could get their
prisoner away, however, a small
crowd of citizens gathered and de-
cided to take the law into their own
hands. The constable in charge of
the negro was overtaken while on
his way to the jail, and his prisoner
taken into the woods, where we'll
merited punishment was speedily
melted out to him. The entire affair
was conducted in a quiet and orderly
manner, and no excitement was oc-
casioned thereby. The body of the
negro was left hanging in the woods,
after having been riddled with bull
let's, and was not discovered until
the next morning, when it was cut
down and prepared for burial under
the direction of the coroner of Ba-
ker county.

here it meant something quite differ

him. The judge was sympathetic,

SNOW BURIED ALASKA CITY.
At Valdez 1t Fell to a Depth of
Fifty-Eight Feet.

'Probably you wouldn't believe it,
but snow fell during the past winter
in Valdez, Alaska, to the depth of
5S feet by actual measurements taken
during the year." said a resident of
that city recently.
Little of the city protruded above
the snow during the past winter,
though sunshine and heavy rains
combined to keep the average depth
about 8 feet. Valdez presented
peculiar sight during the winter.
Stovepipes and chimneys were just
visible above the top of the snow,
and entrances to the stores and
houses were made by tunnels through
the snow. All the business affairs
had to be carried on by electric
light, which was burned all winter,
day and night. Hotels and board
ing houses were crowded with miners
waiting to start for the inland mining
districts over the Fairbanks trail.
"A large number of miners went
over the Fairbanks trail during the
past year to claims in the interior of
Alaska. Along this trail there are
comfortable road houses every ten
miles or so, and there are none of
the hardships that were the portion
of the earlier prospectorS before the
trail was established.
Many 'mushers,' as the miners are
called up there, made the Journey
from Valdez to the interior by one
horse sleighs and dog trains pulled
by the Eskimo 'huskie' dogs, which
are worth as much as good horses in
that country"

Continued From yesterday,

Out across the lonesome waste they
journeyed, steadily creeping farther
from the village, which of a sudden
seemed a very safe and desirable place,
with it's snug store, it's blazing fires
and its warm beds. The sea tossed
them like a cork, coating their paddles
and the decks of the canoe with Ice,
which they were at great pains to break
off. It wet them, In spite of their pre-
cautions. and it's salt breath searched
out their marrow, regardless of their
~unceaslng labors; and these labors were
in truth unceasing, for fifty miles of
open water lay before them; fifty miles,
which meant twelve hours of steady
padding. Gradually, imperceptibly,
the mountain shores behind them
shrank down upon the gray horizon
IT seemed that for INC the weather
was going to be kind to them. n their
spirits rose in consequence. They ate
frequently, food being the great fuel
Of the North, and midday found them
well out upon the heaving bosom of the
Straits with the Kodiak shores plainly
visible. Then. as if tired of toying
with them, the wind rose. 1t did not
blow up a~Ngale-merely a frigid breath
that cut them like steel and halted their
progress. Had it sprung from the
North it would have waited them on
their way, but it drew in from the Paci-
fic, straight into their teeth, forcing
them to redouble their exertions. II
was not of sufficient violence to over
come their efforts, but it held them
back and stirred up a nasty cross sea
into which the canoe plunged and wal
lowed. In the hope that ii would die
down with the darkness. the boatmen
held on their course, and night closed
over them still padding silently.
It was nearly moor of the following
day when the Waterman at the Uyak
cannery beheld a native canoe creep
ing slowly up the bay, and was as
tonished to find it manned by three
white men in the last stages of ex-
h~austion-so stiff and cramped and
numb that he vas forced TO help them
from their places when at last they
effected a landing. One OF them. in
fact, was unconscious and had to be
carried to the house, which did not
surprise the watchman when he learned
whence they had come. He did mar
vel, however, that another of the tray-
elers should begin TO cry weekly when
told that the mail boat had sailed for
Kodiak the previous evening He gave
them s~timulants, then prepared hot
food for them, for both Bait and
Emerson were like sleep-walkers. and

s~ciousness, was too weak to stand.

merry-making vigorous, and inasmuch
as winter is a time of rest, Turing
which nom but the most foolhardy
trust themselves to the perils Of thu

late on Christmas afternoon an ice
burdened canoe, bearing three strange
white men, landed on the beach
beside the dock-or were they white
men, after all? Their faces were so
blackened and split from the frost
they seemed to be raw bleeding masks,
their hands were cracked and stiff be-

sunken away as IL from a wasting III

crept across the s~now-covered single

ing the street hobbled painfully, while
their limbs gave way as If paraiyzed.
One of them lacked strength even to

ran down and lifted him out he gabbled
