JOHN HARRIS, FINAL
RETURN TO JACKSONVILLE
Epitaph Of the Convict Killed Trying
to Escape ut Silver Springs
Last Week
(Times-Union, 14th.)

(Times-Union, 14th.)
No more will John Harris. a colored
convict, escape from the authorities of
this or any other county.
John is dead.
Incited by his escapades of daring
running. shooting, jumping, John Har-
ris, whose crimes would fill a page in
criminal history, has shot his last
brought to a close.
1t Is the old, old story of one meeting
the fate that one is bent upon meeting,
even If he has to cut across corner
lot to meet 1t. And John was the self
made target-he is what he evidently
sought to be-a dead one.
Harris was arrested on March % aft
er an Intellectual effort to kill the wom-
an with whom he was enamored. The
bullet that was intended for the heart
detected, and the leaden bullet found
its way to a less vital part of the
woman's anatomy.
After lengthy trial in the criminal
court John Harris was found guilty of
assault with intent to murder, and the
sentence Of the court was that the
negro serve five years. at hard labor
in the state convict camps.
On April % Harris was delivered to

Company. at their plant near Ocala

upon human life. He took desperate
chances to escape and finally sue

made Jacksonville his objective point
He came-chafn1ess. But preceding him
there came a telephone message that
Harris had escaped and it concluded
with the significant words-"LOOk out
| for him."
Basking in the sunshine of Bridge
street revelry, Harris was espied by
Detectives Crawford and Cahoon. There
| was no resistance, no back talk coming
when Harris was rearrested. "I Jest

was the negro's sole comment.
Harris was given a cell at police
headquarters until the authorities were
notified to come for him. "I jes' don
TAX that part Of the country" said Har-
ris. There is another city that suits
me-that's Jacksonville, and though
you send me back there I'm coming
out"
A telegram to the Times-Union last
might related the tragedy. Harris made
an effort to escape from the stockade
OF the Marion Lumber Company at Sill

terrent, he thought. But as he was
scaling the fence shot rang out from
the big gun of the guard on watch.

ed himself up to the pitch where he
was ready to do murder.
He looks-and at intervals, even aft
er his terrible crime, he acted-like q
happy-go-lucky Irishman who has
kissed the Blarney stone and Is ready
for joke and slap on the back with
all corners. Watching this round fac
ed. twirkling blue-eyed. jovial looking
man as he stood in the Hoboken police
station yesterday morning, glib1y re-
citing the bare facts Of his life for
the routing official record, it was hard
to comprehend how he could have
brought himself to commit an act that
places him in the category with Gui-
teau and Czolgosoz.
But by all that he said and did he
confirmed the declaration Of his brief
confession that he went to Hoboken
with murder in his heart, and deliber-
ately executed a plan made with a cool
ness which utterly disregarded sub
sequent consequences for himself
No word Of regret came from his
lips, except that ne was sorry 'it had
to be done" He gave no sign of COM
passion for the man he had struck
down, and at times even seemed glad
that his bullet had found it's mark.
From all sources came information
showing that this seemingly kindly.
jolly old man had in reality cherished

and nourished 1t and coddled 1T un-
til he had developed it out Of all pro-
portion to it's true size and import
ance and had concluded to take VEN
gence into his own hands and abide
the result.
Gallagher was born in Ireland, by his
own statement, fifty-eight years ago.
He speaks with no brogue or accent
to distinguish him as man of for
eign birth. and his general appearance
is that of many thousands of other
men in New York who work hard but
take life easily and get all the fun
out of 1t they can. 1t did not develop
at the examination of him either by
the police or in the court how long ago
he came to the United States, but the
records showthat he has been q citi-
zen for years, was a political worker
and has held one job or another un-
der the city government for the last
decade at least, If not longer. 1t was
the final loss of this work and the
refusal Of Mayor Gaynor to interfere
with the discipline which had discharg-
ed him that formed the grivance
which the man nursed into justiflca-
tion for murder.

Bohemian Village and Arrested
for Defendlng Themselves

London, August IA Berlin de-
spatch to the Daily Mail says:
ITO Americans from Chicago named
Miller and Sulzer, who were motoring
with their wives from Vienna to Dres-
den, had the misfortune at the village
Of W1eschim in Bohemia to knock down
and injure child. They stopped. pick
ed up the boy and were dressing his
wounds when they were set upon by a
crowd Of Czech villagers. These. mis-
taking the Americans for Germans, to
whom the Czechs are bitterly hostile,
adopted threatening attitude.
"The Americans pointed to the Stars
and Stripes on the hood of the car, but
they happened to have a German flag
there as we'll, so they were not be-
lieved.
"The villagers proceeded to stone the
motorists, when Mrs. Sulzer fell sense
less to the road from blow on the
head.
"The two Americans drew revolvers
and. firing in the air, kept the mob
at bay.
"At length some gendarmes came to
the rescue but, to the Americans sur
prise, they themselves were arrested in
stead Of their assailants.
"The party was only allowed to pro-
ceed on depositing fifty pounds ($25O)

If those who have horses in their
charge on the farm would inaugurate
a more systematic course of feeding,
utilizing the cheaper forms of feed,
much expense of winter feeding could
be saved, and better and healthier
horses would be the result. Adopt, for
instance, the plan of feeding the
horses in the morning only a stomach
full Of the feed, stomachful at noon,
and only a stomachful at night. Such
a course would give the horses stom-
ach a chance to digest the feed.
If variety of feed is at hand, then
feed one kind in the morning, an
other at noon and another at night.
Regularity in feeding is important. If
horses are watered frequently enough
they will not drink too much at a
time. Regular exercise in the open
air is absolutely necessary to maintain
a healthy condition. Spasmodic exer-
cising alternating with periods of in
activity is dangerous and Improbable
The proper use of the means at COM
mand on the farm will insure a good
condition of the horses that will look
well, be well and give excellent serv-
ice-N. A. Clapp.

CnrIng for Grapea.

Rules for grapes culture from the
experiment station record, United
States Department Of Agriculture:
The main points in grape culture
are summarized as follows:
With a few exceptions grapes Of the
Lubrusca species, of which the Con
cord may be taken as the type, are
the most satisfactory for general
planting.
A warm, rich, well drained soil is
best for the grape.
Almost all vines should be planted
at least eight feet apart.
Strong one-year-old vines are most
desirable for planting.
Thorough shallow cultivation is es-
sential.
The pruning of the first two years
must be done with reference to the
system under which the vine is to be
trained after it begins fruiting. Dur
ing this time the vine should become
thoroughly established
The best time for the principal
pruning is soon after the leaves drop
in autumn, but pruning can be done
at any time during the winter when
the vines are not frozen. Summer
pruning consists of pinching lateral
branches in order to encourage the de-
velopment of the fruit and the bearing
wood for the succeeding year.
The long arm, short spur system Of
training is usually the most satisfac-
tory for the inexperienced grower,
but the renewal systems are highly
recommended.

ART OF EATING AN APPLE.

IL Is at It's Best If Munched When
Sitting on a Fence.
The apple is so engagingly vaga
bondish a fruit. 1t is the black sheep
of the fruit family, the tramp and
roadster, just as the berries are the
gamins and beggars. To eat an apple
at a table is to treat it with all disre-
gard of it's charm and character, the
New York Sun says; to approach it
with knife and plate is to take the
hopelessly wrong road to its good
graces. 1t should be munched out of
doors, preferably with others in ones
pockets. An apple is at its best if
eaten while sitting on a fence. 1t
then admits you to its sweetest juices,
and so attuned is it to the posture, so
grateful for your understanding of its
proper environment and for the spirit
of your attack, that any apple, even a
lamentably gnarled one, contrives at
such time to be not wholly unworthy
of your attention.
An apple always incites to theft, Sc
ducing the most carping moralist, and
yet making theft seem right, seem the
only sane act, in the very moment of
your downfall. Apples love wanderers,
approve of homeless people and fol-
lowers of the highway. They encour
age them by growing near the road
and doing their best to sustain and
nourish. Even in a city apples hold
their own and exert their influence
They make opera goers stop at fruit
stands and in the flare of a gas jet
drop carefully chosen apples into

With its pleasant bulge against ones

above all an informal fruit and they

weight against the enticing of rowdy.

century. 1t seems Sir Francis Drake
introduced it into England in 1886,
though Sir Walter Raleigh is said to
have done this year before. 1t was
first regarded as a curiosity, and so
remained until the latter part of the
eighteenth century, though the Royal
Society of London in 1868 recommend
ed it as a possible safeguard against
famine among the Irish peasantry

be creased, but the paper is fully as

The wooden core extends entirely
through the post and two end gates
with two-inch holes in them are used
with it. The metal core should be
placed in the mold so that the small

top of the post. After the core is in
position the remainder of the con-
crete can be put in and the post set
aside to harden until the core and
