Cairo, Ills, Feb. 19.-Wm. Pratt,
the negro accused of purse snatch
ing, and eighteen other negro pris-
oners, were taken to the peniten-
tiary at Chester today to avoid
arousing the anger of citizens of
Cairo, following the killing OF one
man and the wounding of four 9TH
ers by deputies defending the ne
groes.
Although the state troops are
guarding the Cairo Jail, and the sa-
looms are closed, there is still dan
ger of troublP, It was feared that
the presence of the negroes at the
Jail would cause a night attack.
Therefore, before daybreak. they
were smuggled away under military
guard.
The killing of Alexander Halliday,
the son of former mayor OF Cairo,
popular and we'll liked, has divided
the city into two factions. One,
headed by the coroner, maintained
that Halliday died instantly when
struck by a bullet fired from the
jail, the other, headed by DR.. Walsh,
who examined his body, claims that
Halliday lay mortally wounded IN
the snow for several hours and that
had he been rescued his life could
have been saved.
Mayor Parsons took hand in the
affair by sharply criticising Sheriff
Nellis for obeying to the letter Gov
ernor Deneen's order to keep the
people outside the jail yard. This
order practically resulted in the fail
ure of the friends of Halliday to re-
cover his body when 1t laid in the
yard under the guns Of the sher-
iff's deputies.
Parsons declared that he would
have disobeyed the governors order
under such circumstances and
would have risked his official posi-
tion even IL the president OF the
United States had issued the order.

The Oldest Joke.

1t will be difficult to discover an old
err practical joke than that of the cop
persmith and the maker Of brazen I'M
ages for the temple Of Osiris, which is
embodied in Egyptian inscriptions dat
ing from the reign Of Menes, founder
of Memphis, who ruled over 7,0OO
years ago. According to ancient rec
ords. there dwelt between these two
craftsmen a quiet man whose desire
was for peace and who was sadly dis
turbed by the noisy occupations car
ried on by his busy neighbors. He
therefore asked each Of them to say
for what sum they would change their
dwellings,. This they did. Each calcu-
lated the amount required, and he, be-
ing satisfied, paid it over to them.
"Now." he asked of the coppersmith,
where is your new DWELLING? Il
have taken that Of the maker of i'm
ages" was the reply. "And you"
queried the quiet man of the latter.
.whither goest thou?" ITO the house
Of the coppersmith!
This is one of many tales told in all
ages which are woven into myth and
legend and differ only in local color.

1t was seldom that Colonel Bill got
caught by a debtor, so unerring was
his Judgment of men, but his transae-
ton with old man Blankerton was an
exception to the rule. Blankerton got
into Colonel Bills ledger to the amount
Of $50 and finally balanced the account
with a note.
When the paper was a long time
overdue and there was no prospect Of
a settlement. to the eminent disgust OF
the colonel. he declared. with a strong
Anglo-Saxon emphasis. that he would
sell Blankerton's note for so cents on
the dollar. The statement was not
long reaching the ears Of the maker
Of the note. He met the colonel in the
village street one day and accosted
him:

note for so cents on the dollar"

Anxious Travelling.

A traveller in Russia noticed that the
train he entered was all decorated
with flags and banners, and OF every
station it passed stood a company Of
soldiers and a band playing the nation
al anthem. The traveller asked a
brakeman the reason of all this cere-
mony. The brakeman, lowering his
voice. replied:
II don't mind telling you, sir-but in
the strictest confidence, be it under
stood-that a carriage in this train has
been engaged for his majesty. But his
majesty. as a matter of fact, won't
set off till this evening. Thus the plot
Matched against him may take effect

sovereign will be saved"

passed on, and the traveller. suddenly
grown pale and nervous. stared from

He knew nothing about the clerk.
Campbell did. Through some means
or another he had the clerkship trans
ferred to his own committee. Six
months later Scott learned of the trick.
Meeting Campbell, he said:
'9That was a nice piece of petty lar
ceny."
"Tut, tut, Mr.. Scott" said Campbell;
my committee needed a clerk worse
than yours" Then. with twinkling
eyes. he continued. you are a mil

The ready reply amused Scott. The
two men were always the best OF
