The Story Of Sue Sawyer

ably visible, now descending into the
glen, now marching over the hill-up
and UP in double file, full company
form. 1t halts in front of the Brown
low mansion and forms in line. The
captain steps out and says: Which
one Of you men will volunteer to go
up and bring down that flag?" But
before the words are fairly out of his
mouth the front door of the house
flies open with resounding bang.
Out darts with bullet-speed COM
manding female form, and with
nine-inch revolver levelled full at the
captains head, she makes the heav-
ems ring with her cry: Captain, tho
man that takes another step toward
this house, or that attempts to touch
the flag above it, will die in his
tracks,"
The captain, looking first at the
muzzle OF the gun and then into the
face of Sue Sawyer, stood transfixed
and speeches. for moment, and
then, turning to the company he said:
Boys, we are southern men. We
can't walk over such a lady as this.
About face! Shoulder arms! March,
And away went the captain and his
men to their camp, while the glorious
and victorious Sue walked quietly into
the house, and then out onto the lawn
to water her flowers.
AS the Confederate captain march
ed away he was heard to say: Gosh.
boys. that lady ought to have COM
mand of the whole Yankee army"
His gallantry is scarcely less to be
admired than Sue Sawyer's patriotic
bravery.

A few drivers Of cheap autos still
persist in cutting out the muffler de-
spite the law to the contrary. Most
offenses of the kind are committed at
night, which makes them all the
more serious because they interfere
with sleep. There is no more certain
way for the police department to
make itself popular and earn the
thanks of the community than by ar
resting the cut-out smart alexis and
filming them heavily. An example
should be made of few of them as
a sure and speedy means of abolish
ing. a real nuisance.

During the war of the Rebellion,
and especially during the early years
Of the conflict, there was no quarter
OF the country whose inhabitants suf-
fered as much for their loyalty to the
union as those OF East Tennessee.
That part of the state of jackson
and Polk had originally been settled
by Scotch-Irish Presbyterians of the
type of the one who opened his
prayer In the kirk with the words:
% Laird, max us recht, for thou
knowest We're very contrary
And the invincible "stand-pat" peril
nacity which characterized their
Scotch ancestors who stood firmly
against the brutal prosecutions OF
Charles II. in the 18th century, was
the warp and .woof OF their Tennessee
descendants in the trying times OF
1881 and 1862. Say what you please
about there. being nothing in human
pedigrees. but here is one among the
many striking incidents which clear

men as 1t does in horses

rebels have that city in their grasp.

the sun is shining brightly; the richly

fragrance the lively breeze that stirs

The little brides blythly sing,

More coal was mined in Iowa dur

than in any other year in the history
of the mining industry in Iowa, ac-
cording to statistics collected by the

A number Of Democratic newspa-

tioning Judge Martin J. Wade Of Iowa
City as the probable candidate Of their
party for governor. The opposition
could go farther and fare worse and
probably will. Judge Wade would be
a highly creditable candidate, but his
good Judgment would likely prompt
him to decline the doubtful honor Of
leading forlorn hope.

VIOLINIST DELIGHTS
 THE VESPER GOERS

William Grating King, violinist, of New York city, was the musical att traction yesterday at the South church. The entire musical program was of an exceptional character, but MT. Kings interpretation of Wagner's s Prize Song from the Maestersinger stamped him as an artist of ability. There is nothing "showy'' about his paying. With absolutely perfect technique he renders his selections in the most delicate and inspiring man. ner, as in his playing of Shumann's Evening Song", when it almost seemed that one could hear the whis- pering of the leaves, see the gold f1ecked cloud banks in the West, so great was his power to play with the imagination of his audience.
 And the music must have been an inspiration to Rev. Dr. R. L. Swain, for never did he preach more elO quently. He took up the threads of his discourse of a week ago, where Joseph was thrown into the inner dun geon, and wove therefrom a golden mantle with which to cover the in- constituencies, the sinfulness, the thoughtlessness and the ingratitude of humanity.
 Another treat is in store for next Sunday, when a musical service will be observed. The Choral Club, of over 50 voices, will be in charge and render Thomas Shepherds Christmas cantata, 'The Word Made Flesh; also den's Creation, and Silent Night, the old folk song from the Tyrel, ar ranged by V. E. Becker. A cordial invitation Is extended to the public. Fuller details will be announced later.

Suffragelte Agent
 hits Lloyd George,
 Gets Two Months
Especial from United Press.)

London, Dec. 1.-Two months at hard labor was the punishment met ed out, today, to Allan McDougal, who threw a brass bound box at Lloyd George, after he had concluded a speech before the gWomen's Liberal Federation, Saturday night. Lloyd George suffered a severe gash across the face and narrowly escaped being blinded in one eye.
 McDougal told the magistrate, to- day; that he had been commissioned by suffragettes to present the box which contained suffrage pamphlets, to the chancellor. He was unable to reach the stage, he said, and threw the box, thinking that Lloyd George would pick it up. He denied that he intended to assault.the chancellor.
 The magistrate said he believed two months at hard labor would discour- age him from carrying out any fool missions" for the suffragettes.

TRIES TO END LIFE. Leaving Note About m-Health, Kas. cInube Puts Bullet Into His Head.

New Haven, Dec. 18.-Leaving a note to the effect that he wanted to quit life because of ill health, Her. man Kaschube, a former Meriden man, shot himself in the temple with 22-calibre revolver at his lodging house at 35 Townsend street, about 1 o'clock yesterday morning. The note which Kaschube left behind was written on the back of an old enve- lope and simply read: ''The cause is i'll health.' The envelope was spat- tered with blood from the mans wound.
 The authorities are somewhat skep- tical as to whether this was the real cause for the deed as Kaschube's wife had brought a divorce suit against him short time ago and this, it Is believed, may have caused him to be- come melancholy. Kaschube was taken to St. RaphaePs hospital.
