MURDERED" MAN WAS ALIVE
Roger Williams Set Free After Serv
Ing Twenty Years for the Sup
posed Killing Of Another.

More extraordinary than the wild.
est plot Of the novelist, are the cir.
cumstances under which Roger vii.
liams, who was sentenced to 40 year,
imprisonment for murder, has been
released after serving half his SEN
tence. This followed the startling
discovery that Bernard Carter, the
man whom he was supposed to have
murdered, is alive, wealthy and we'll.
Williams and Carter quarreled in the
spring Of 1890. Meeting on cattle
trail, Williams stabbed Carter and
flung the body into the Pecos river.
A few weeks later body was dis
covered and identified as that of Car
ter. The Identification, it now
turns out was erroneous, for Carter,
by miracle, was rescued in an I'M
conscious condition from the river
and sent to hospital at Ell Paso.
Carter has now secured a pardon for
Williams, whom he is providing
with a good home for the rest Of his
life.

This ls Slumber Land,

Here Is story about the soothing
quality Of Flatbush air, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. Newcomers to Flat
bush notice first Of all that they don't
seem able to get sleep enough. At
first they have an idea that perhaps
it's the malaria, but 1t Is only the
heavy sea air which induces slumber.
A new resident In Flatbush asked
some friends Of his In the district Il
the experience was common one.
ooh. yes," was the reply. that is
the case with everybody who moves
here. A certain woman who lives not
far from Eighteenth avenue started to
make three beds one morning at nine
o'clock. At seven o'clock that night
she had not yet made the third. The
beds looked so inviting and l was SO
tired she explained, that whenever
I came to one lay down and slept on

TRIUMPH OF WATER FINDING
English Expert Locates Ample Supply,
Guaging Depth Below Surface
Within Two Feet.

A very remarkable achievement in
"water-finding" has been carried
through at Sicily Oak, Birmingham. It
was necessary to discover a supply Of
water on the land belonging to the Pa
tent Enamel works, and Mr.. Chester.
man was called from Hereford for the
purpose. He went over the land with
his piece Of aluminium wire for about
half an hour. Then he suddenly
stopped and declared that at the place
where he stood water would be found
at a depth Of ESQ feet A contract was
signed by which he engaged to sink an
eight-inch artesian tube which should
produce not less than $4,000 gallons
of water a day. on the condition "No
water no pay" He employed hydrau-
lie boring machinery, and in fourteen
days struck water at a depth Of 248
feet, and test pumping for 20 hours
proved yield Of 10000 gallons per
day. That the expert should have
gagged the depth within two feet is
considered one Of the greatest triumphs
in water-flnding Of modern times

ANTIDOTE FOR EACH RECIPE
What the Author OF q Cook Book

The woman was the author Of q
cook book that has been published at

occasional blank pages for notes and
additional recipes. Often she had ex.

blank spaces had been put. One day

SHE KNEW VIRGiNIA'S LAWS
How Maiden Lady Of the Old Domin-
% Ion Saved Her Lawn From the
Road Builders.

II women ever come to sit on tho
bench in old Virginia. there's mar
den lady living on her ancestral acres
just across the Potomac from Wash
ington who can qualify for the Job.
Recently a realty company bought
tract of land the other side OF nef
property and plated It into suburban
lots. Desiring ready access to the
capital. they instituted proceedings to
run a public road through the old
lady's land; worse. as she learned.
the projected road would cut right
through the prettiest part of her trim
lawn, dear with its memories OF her
childhood.
She consulted her lawyer, only to
be told there wes no help for It,
since private property may, under the
law, be condemned for public use. no
matter how unwilling an indignant
owner may be.
Far from resigning herself to the
ruthless inroad on her cherished lawn.
the old lady buried herself In the
musty law library handed down from
an ancient ancestor. once prominent
Judge in the Old Dominion.
When some days later party Of
surveyors appeared with stakes and
chains to lay out the line Of road. they
found the owner, spade in hand. just
setting out the last Of phalanx Of
young apple trees squarely in front
Of the lawn and right In the line Of
the proposed highway.
IF you set foot inside this orchard"
she said defantly to the astonished
surveyors, III have you all thrown
out and then arrested for trespass. :"
With that she called up half dozen
trusty young countrymen waiting be-
hind the barn for the summons.
What does all this meant" asked
the leader OF the surveying party. In
whose contract there had been no
mention Of fighting. I'VE are survey
ing for public road and can go any
where"
"Anywhere-except through an or
chard!" exclaimed the old lady, pull
ing q musty volume from under her
apron. TITS been the law In Virginia
since the days Of Patrick Henry that
you can't run even public road
through an orchard. SO you stay QUIT"
The old lady had dug up an ancient
law unknown to modern attorneys.

Good Use for Old Wire Rope.

Old wire rope is used in certain
French mines for reinforcing old tim
bers. especially the cap pieces Of sets.
The old rope is stretched longitudinal.
ly around the timber, the ends being
held fast between the roof and the
top of the cap piece SO they cannot
slip. When a timber starts to bend
under the weight of the roof part Of
the tension is taken up by the wire
cable, enabling miner to put in ad
ditional supports before a fall occurs.
The ends Of the cap pieces are tapered
and grooved deep enough to receive
the rope and prevent any part Of it
projecting beyond the bearing ends
of the timber pieces.
