PANACA BOYS WIN IN
BASKET BALL GAM
GAME

The basket ball game played on
the school campus last Saturday be
tween the eighth grade pupils OF
the Phoebe school and students Of the
Lincoln County High school at Pa.
naca, resulted in victory for the
visitors in score of 81 to 1.
The Phoebe boys did some fine
execution; but they were outelassed
both in weight and experience and
of course entered the game with
great odds against them.
Nevertheless they took the defeat
cheerfully and gave the Panacaitea
royal good time.
The Phoebe girls prepared and serv

library room of the school building
following the close Of the game and

WAGON INVOLVED IN
JUSTICE COURT CASE

Theo, Tobasco, a native OF Greece,
was arrested at Atlanta early in
the week on complaint of Mrs. D. P.
Empey. Tobasco was charged with
the theft of wagon valued at
about $65, and which the complaining
witness alleged belonged to her
by reason of having been part of
the estate left by John Bowen, her
former husband, who died in Ely
last July.
Tobasco set up the defense that
he had purchased the wagon from
Bowen just prior to his death.
The case was called up before Jus.
tice of the Peace Thomas last Tues.
day, District Attorney McNamee rep.
resenlng the state and Attorney w
b, Orr, the defendant. After the sx-
animation Of several. witnesses, the
district attorney concluded that
the controversy was one which
should be adjusted through the
medium of a civil action and moved
for the dismissal Of the criminal
charge.
This case marked the beginning of
Billie" Orrs career as lawyer
and In his maiden talk he acquitted
himself very agreeably in the eyes
of his friends who predict success
for him as deciple of Blackstone.

Lumber Bears
Comparison with
Other Commodities

Notwithstanding the argument some
times heard about it being too
high priced now to permit OF home
building. Comparing it with wheat
and corn we find that on
July 10, 1907
100 bushels OF wheat would buy
243S feet OF common lumber; 100
bushels Of corn would buy 1347
feet Of common lumber and on
August IS, 1911
100 bushels of wheat would buy
1920 feet of common lumber; 100
bushels of corn would buy 2a00
feet of common lumber. Fact Of
the matter is that now is good
time to build because every year the
standing timber Of the United Stat
es Is becoming more scarce and
the population Il growing larger

TRADED HATS IN THE CAFE
Yale Man Wore the Army Majors
H~eadgear, Leaving Bowler"
Fresh From London.

=.
There is a Yale man with the ini-
tials of "E. M. NJ" whose hat fits
the head of an army major up at
Sackett's Harbor. The major ar
rived at a hotel the other day and
went in to luncheon, depositing his
hat on the rack without demanding
a check. After the meal he couldn't
find his headgear. 1t was the only
hat he had with him and he was
against buying another, so he sat
bareheaded in the lobby until all the
lunchers had got out. There was one
hat remaining. The major looked
at it and found that it was a fine
new "bowler" fresh from London.
He tried it on and it fitted. The
owner of the initials was traced on
the register and it wal learned that
he had already taken a train for
New Haven. The hotel telegraphed
him and got a reply that it was true
that he had got the wrong hat and
would forward it to it's owner upon
the return Of his own lid. But the
major wore the Yale mans hat home
to Sackett's Harbor.

BRANDING ENGLISH CRIMINALS.

The branding of criminals, which
Judge Rentoul suggests might adj
vantageously be revived for the
benefit of deported aliens, was abol-
ished in this country in 1878. Until
then, this punishment was inflicted
in open court, generally In the pres
ence of the Judge, the necessary I'M
plements-the iron brand, the cha
fling dish and the iron gripper for
keeping the hand steady-being al
ways in readiness.
The usual brand was an ar" APP
piled to the left shoulder. Child
stealing, etc, however, we're at one
time punished by branding the Of
fender with "R" on the shoulder
(for rogue), "M' on the right hand
(for m~anslayer), and "T" on the
left hand tfor thief).-Pall Mall

She sat at the little mahogany desk
and a note with the ink yet wet upon
it lay face up before her. 1t was ad-
dressed to Signor Pietro Petrozinni in
the district prison, and read:
my Dear Friend:
II have been waiting to write You
with the hope that l could report
Senior Alvarez out of danger, but his
condition, l regret to say, remains un-
changed. Shall l send an attorney to
you? Would you like a book OF n

a restaurant? Can | be Of n service
to- you In any way? If ! can please
drop me q line.

AT last she rose and standing In the
window read the note over, folded IL,
placed it In an envelope and sealed II.
A maid came In answer to her ring,
and there at the window, under the
watchful eyes of Blair and Hastings
and, perhaps, Johnson-she handed
the note to the maid with instructions
to mail it Immediately. Two minutes
later she saw the maid go out along
the avenue to a post-box on h cor
ner.
Then she drew back into the shad-
ow of the room, slipped on a dark-col-
ored wrap. and, standing away from
the window, safe beyond the reach OF
prying eyes, waited patiently for the
postman. He appeared about hve
o'clock and simultaneously another
