The lawyer abbreviates perhaps
more than any writer in his attempt
to keep pace with the redundant
phraseology Of legal documents. And
printed books Of presidents, such as
the indispensable Key and Elphin-
stone, teach him the recognized con-
fractions. For instance, "exs," "ads,"
trees" and lass" do duty for execu-
tors, administrators, trustees and as
signs, while daughter is written
"daur," and solicitor is referred to
as "solor." In fact, every word on
a draft of deed or will capable of
contraction is cut down to the utmost
limit, only, Of course, to be extended
when the document itself is engross-
ed.

MOB KILLS SLAYER
OSCAR CHITWOOD WHO KILLED
ARKANSAS SHERIFF SHOT
TO DEATH.
IS TAKEN FROM DEPUTIES
Masked Men Take Prisoner Away
From Officers in Heart of City OF
Hot Springs and Riddle His Body
With Bullets.

Hot Springs, Ark. - Oscar Chit
wood, a mountaineer, was killed by
q mob in the heart of this city.
Chitwood was awaiting trial for the
murder, recently, of Jake Houpt. sher-
iff, in Hot Springs. AS deputy sher-
ifs were attempting to spirit Chit
wood from the county Jail to the city
prison officers and prisoner were at
lacked by 30 masked men who rid
died Chitwood's body with bullets.
Chitwood was taken out of the rear
door of the Jail, and when two blocks
away the mob overpowered the dep
uties and seized the prisoner. The
Chitwood, but the sight of him
prompted a speedier means. About
one hundred shots were fired. A
change of venue had recently been
granted Chitwood. He was to have
been taken to Benton, Ark, for trial.
It is supposed that all the members
of the mob were friends of the MUIR
dered sheriff. 1t was evident that the
men who put Chitwood to death had
laid their plans carefully and had
learned from some source that Chit
wood was to be transferred secretly
from one prison to another at an
hour when few people were in the
streets.
None of the deputies was injured
and the attack was made SO suddenly
and Unexpectedly that there was no
Glance for resistance on the part Of
the deputies who had Chitwood in
charge After killing Chitwoed the
masked men dispersed and not even
the leader, if there was leader, is
known.
Houpt was killed in a street fight
here last August, when Oscar Chit
wood and his brother, George Chit
wood, emerged from a saloon and be-
gan shooting up the town.
In a pitched battle between the
desperadoes and Houpt and several
citizens, George Chitwood was wound
ed and he died later. Oscar CAitwood
was narrowly saved from lynching
at that time and was confined in the
penitentiary for safe-keeping.

picion that he was the assailant OF

a bullet hole in the rim Of his hat

When a mischievous boy takes
snuff sometimes a great many others
sneeze. At least this is what hap
pened on a New York subway train.
The boy, a youth of seventeen, as
serts that he had cold, for which he
took the snuff, and that in doing so
some of the stuff was spilled, and
thus others were set to sneezing. But
irate passengers assert that the lad
deliberately threw the snuff about the
car, creating such a paroxysm of
sneezing that the train was almost
shaken from the rails. At any rate
the boy was arrested and taken be-
fore a police magistrate, who lee
tured the prisoner as "one of the
worst rowdies brought here" and gave
him five days in the workhouse.
Which shows that New York laws
are not to be sneezed at.

The city clerk of New York has
received a letter from gentleman in
st. Petersburg, Russia, who describes
himself as a Prince, gives a string
of glittering titles and says he is
fifty-seVen years Of age and without
fortune, but desires to marry per-

how to reach the impecunious but
hopeful noblemaa are supplied, and
any wealth American lady seeking
such chance probably will be able
to get the high-sounding title on rea-

tiers. The fact that a man who bears
the title was serving when last heard
of as a hotel waiter of course would
be no bar to such an alliance or ex-
plain why the nobleman is seeking to
make an arrangement of the sort pro-

CHILDREN IN FICTION.

Among male novelists Dickens
takes the lead as delineator OF chill
dren. All kinds and conditions OF
them flock through his books. He de-
picted life as he saw it and wherever
he looked there were children, there
fore children had a natural and in
evitable place in his pages, says the
indianapolis Star From the Fat Boy
of Pickwick Papers to Tiny Tim the
procession is long and includes a
notable list - David Copperf1eld,
Oliver Twist, Little Nell, Florence
Dombey and her brother, Poor 10,
the little Kenwigses, Toddles and
many more. If they are not children
exactly as readers of this day see
them they are children as he saw
them and he pictures them with
vfvidness that gives them a lasting
place in the readers mind. They
stand forth more clearly on mem
ory's WALL than the real personages
of history. Several of Thackeray's
characters are introduced in their
childhood, as Henry Esmond, Penden-
mis- and Becky Sharp, and are brought
along to maturity, but this is merely
by way of accounting for their later
peculiarities and the child portraits
leave no special impression. Poe
never wrote of children. Hawthorne
did, but of dream children rather than
those of real life. Later male novel
lists for the most part ignore the
young of thier race. Henry James
seldom realizes that children are on
earth. There is ''Maizie," to be sure,
but Maize is not real child. Thomas
Hardy Is aware of them and intro
duces Jude as a boy, but dwells light
~ on this early life of his hero.
