STA EYED IN JAIL ELEVEN YEARS
Man Refuses Even to Take Poor
Debtors Oath to Got Out.

Dover, n. H.. April 2S.-Rather
than pay a Judgment rendered
against him for 1900 Alfred w.
Jones has remained in the StraffOrd
county Jail for eleven years. He is
there to-day with eleven years growth
OF beard hanging from his chin. He
declares he will die there.
This man has refused to take the
poor debtors oath. even if he was
allowed to DO so. because, he saws.
that would be tantamount to an
acknowledgment Of his debt.
Suit was brought against him for
the alleged abuse OF Arthur 4 =.
Cripps's wife, whom he raised. Dam
ages were awarded to young Cripps
amounting to 5 500. Jones refused
to pay the amount. and ii is said he
made over his property to his wife
before the suit. thus barring him
from the right to take the oath that
would free him.
Now the sum charged against him
has swcllcd to about 5000 because
the State has bill for board at
$3.50 week since his Incarceration.
Jones is known as the "lion OF the
Tcncriif".' lie Is GI years old and a
giant in stature.

BRYAN'S GIRL IN LINIELIGHT.
Artist Lcavitt Says He Wants Chill
drcn, but Not Woman.

Columbus, Ohio, April 29.-"I
want those children, and If there Is
any law In Gods world to help me
get them, will have them. do
not want i've woman, but If no other
means will avail, | will take legal
steps and invoke the aid OF the court
to prevent the marriage Of Ruth
Bryan Leavitt to Reginald Owen"
said William II. Leavitt tonight.
The notice in the newspapers Of
the approaching marriage Of his for
mer wife came as a complete surprise
to him. The only information he has
had Of the marriage was divorce
granted to Mrs. Leavitt.
The publication Of the impending
marriage Is, ! think, a miscarriage
of the Bryan plans" said Leavitt "I
have seen it printed that William
Jennings Bryan offered me $4,000
not to oppose any suit that might be
brought. | will say that Mr.. Bryan
nor no member OF his family ever
Sa' q iiie d Ccut, Of ever uiu cause 10
do so.
1--WE had two children. Since
have been in Columbus, Mrs. Leavitt
sent me word that she and the chill
dren were comfortably settled in Ham
over. Germany, and that the children
were in a kindergarten"
In case he receives no direct word
from Nebraska, Mr.. Leavitt says he
will leave here in time to reach Fair
view before the marriage can take
place.
II should not hesitate to stop the
ceremony If that were the only way
TO get possession of my children," he
said.

RAMSAYS CREEKS PHILOSOPHER
Attends Sunday School and PTpuchcs
Gospel Of Common Sense.

Ramsay's Creek, April 20.-Spe-
cial: The cold weather has left us
some fruit yet---if it doesn't get kill
ed hereafter.
People have been making good
use Of the fine weather, and the
largest part OF the crops have already
been planted.
The Sunday school at Cross Roads
Is progressing nicely under the etn-
cient management Of William Col
lins as superintendent. Let every
body come every Sabbath morning at
o'clock and take part in the school.
The problem Of life is common
thing, especially to most Of us that
are living; but if we stop to think
about it it is one Of the greatest mys-
teries one can imagine. One can
look about and see half dozen or
more men carrying on as many occu-
pations. A man is bufIeted on the
stormy sea Of life. but one day when
his friends least expect it he disap-
pears from this world. and in the
course OF few years his form and
features are lost and forgotten by the
people here forever. This is the
common heritage Of man, and that
is the way he was made to go.
Preachers, teachers, journalists, law
yers, doctors, merchants, bankers,
mechanics, and all classes, have pien-
ty Of trouble Of their own, but we
believe farmers have more and diff
fcrent kinds Of trouble than any one
else. They not only have to endure
freshets and drouths, but hawks,
crows, muskratS. minks, weasels.
moles, tater bugs, humbugs, (blindD
tigers and other kinds Of deadly ami
mails, are always trying to eat out
their existence. Reader, does it.
seem that your plans and arrange
ments are trying to cave in on you;
that you can't work or play, sleep or
eat, when you want to, and that
everybody has turnde hypocrite ex-
cept yourself? Well, then, you have
the blues" and here is a cure: Boil
half gallon Of water few minutes,
add thimbleful of salt. one table
spoonful OF common sense. half
teacupful of reason and single
handful Of humor; stir briskly
moment; allow 1t to cool a while,
so 1t won't burn the bark off your
feet. Now bathe the feet ten min
utes. and laugh heartily while the
performance is going on Dry them
with soft towel and slip off to bed.
When YOU awake in the morning you
will still be laughing. B.

IN Louisiana and Southern Missis-

although many planters have aban-

School For Good Citizenship

The Ferris Industrial School with

new buildings, seems about to enter
upon greater era of usefulness. A
cottage for white boys and a large
trade building have just been COM
pleted, representing all output OF
about $4,000. The part of this work
done by the boys represents saving
of at least $4,000.
The boys live according to a rigid
discipline which is not however un-
mixed with kindness. The aim is to
equip them with the power to earn a
livelihood and to develop the qualities
that are necessary to good citizen

Superintendent Stewart is about to

NEWARK AS SEEN
BY A SOUTHfRNfR

1t is one of the frailties OF human
appreciation that continued assoc5a-
ton and habitual contact renders the
most OF us immune to the beauties
and privileges of our environment.
The material things with which we
are surrounded become commonplace
and more sad than this, by constant
association, the friends and compan-
ions who once pleased ofttimes lose
their charm.
When Pope wrote
Vice is a monster OF SO frightfuI mien
AS to be hated need1 but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face
We first endure, then pity, then EN-.
brace
he reflected the whole range OF hui
man feeling in regards to our attitude
of continued association. Vice by
constant contact becomes common
place, it no longer frightens. we are
indifferent alike to its terror and its
char.l ard we go our way more often
than not, elbow to elbow, never Civ,
ing osr companions second thought
The same attitude is true concerning
the virtues that may be about us. We
take them for granted, we give. nc
voice Of appreciation. They are ours
not SD much by divine right as by the
right OF that custom and common
placeneSs whose facult" it is to deaden
our vision to the grandeur of those
things with which we may be sur
rounded.
What has been said above Of the
abstract principles, is likewise appli-
cable to the material and concrete--to
the country, town or village in which
we may nrJ ou; hotne
Newark does not have, for the vast
majority of her citizens, at least any
greater charm than any other town
OF like size and population; but for
one who is stranger within her
gates she has quite different air
from many towns of like dimensions
and inhabitants. She has an air of ex-
clusiveness, and this does not imply
selhshness, for seihShness is born oi
greed, while exclusveness traces its
lineage to culture and refinement
Newark is both modern and quaint
Newark post., 1910-08-24

Her very atmosphere seems haunted
BY memories and scenes OF the historic
past. Her first charter was granted
BY a Royal George; her school sys-
tenn is as old as the year of her first
settlement, and she is surrounded by.
the events of revolutionary splendor
and achievement.
The field of Brandywine is not far
distant where attacked Simultaneous
ly in front and rear, the Americans
were forced to retreat, but then, as
ever and alway, conducted themselves
with glory and honor. A little nearer
the tcVn the 'skirmish at Cooch's
Bridge took place. There stands the
monument i'll commemoration Of the
fact that on this spot the stars and
stripes were first flung to the breeze
over band of patriots poorly equip
ped in munitions of war, but richly
endowed with that spirit OF valor
which makes victory the inevitable
goal.
Mounted around that monument are
four cannon which have responded
gracefully to the touch of patriot
hands and have sent their missiles OF
flre and death into the ranks OF ty-
rant foe, Circling the space between
gun and gun are the chains that may
hap protected the rotten hulk of the
Bon Homme Richard, or grappled i'll
deadly conflict some BrittV's ship, TN
der the command OF some American
hero of the sea.
All these memories to the stranger
add a wierd and mystic charm which
has doubtless grown commonplace to
! the native because of familiarity and
association
Newark, too, is surrounded by a
most beautiful country, in ield and
+, wood. i'll agricultural pursuits and all
thin J. that add to the w Of living,
and the comforts and convenences OF
man

town by one of her visitors. The
