HOW FIREWATER GOT NAME
Test by Which Indians Learned to Dis
tInguish Whisky That Was
Diluted.

New York.-When the Hudson Bay
Trading company commenced trading
among the Indians it was found that
by selling the Indians liquor they could
more easily be induced to trade their
peltries The first whisky was brought
to this country in large barrels, but
In transporting it overland, it was
lound more convenient to divide it into
small kegs.
The white traders soon became
aware, according to the American
Wine Press, that by diluting the whisky
with water, more furs could be obtain
I'd. This was practiced for some time,
but the Indians learned that good
whisky poured on a fire would cause
It to fame up, whereas, had the whisky
been diluted, the fire would be
luenched.
1t was by this simple experiment
hat the term "frewater" became a

CRIME FINDS HIM OUT
POLICE CHIEF ADMITS HE Is
ESCAPED MURDERER.
For Thirteen Years He Hid Identity
and Became Famous for Rum
crusades In Danvllle, Va,
but Exposure Came.

Danville, Va-Found after a search
which had extended over a period of
10 years and right on the eve OF his
election for chief of police, which
takes place every two years, Chief R.
e. Ferris, who for six years has been
the head of the force here, was ar
rested as an escaped convict from
Georgia and carried to the Jail, where
he was locked up.
Showing perfect nerve, he threw
aside his mask when confronted with
a requisition and quietly admitted
that he was Edgar Stripping, OF Har-
ris county, Georgia, convicted of the
murder of William Cornett, and given
life sentence in the penitentiary.
He said he escaped through the aid
Of friends, and a jailor who was.
bribed.
Ferris, or Stripping. was elected
chief Of police by the Prohibition ele-
ment OF Danville, and was a leader
in the raids on blind tigers" He
would without doubt have been re-
elected but for fate.
In discussing the arrest Ferris said
that he and his brotherin-law were
forced to shoot Cornett, who had at
tackled his sister, and he expressed
the utmost confidence that he would
be able to come back to Danville in
very short time, a free man. AT
the time the crowd was inclined to-
believe that his arrest was a frame
up to prevent his reelection, the SEN
timent on the liquor question running
high in Danville, but 1t soon was I'M
derstood that the arrest was genuine.
Feeling safe from all possible
chance of arrest since he left Geor-
gia, Morris began to take chances.
He worked in North Carolina, where
he was policeman. Three months
ago he took the biggest chance that
he has yet taken and it was the fatal
mistake that will send him back to
Georgia. A man from Columbus, Ca
who happened to be in Danville. rec
ognized the chief as the escaped
criminal.
1t was in 1897 that w. ]. Cornett,
a young farmer, while sitting by the
freside of his home, in Harris coun-
ty, Georgia, was shot dead by load
Of buckshot. For days the mystery
was unsolved and then it began to be
whispered around that Cornett had
been too attentive to the beautiful
young wife OF Stripping. Finally
Stripping and Terrell Huff, his broth
er-in-law, were arrested At the trial
Stripping exonerated HUFF but stated
he had shot down Cornett as he
would snake for the wrong done by
him to his wife. Both Huff and Strip
ling were given life sentences. HUFF
has since been pardoned, but Strip
ling escaped.

W0MEN'S RIGHTS, NOT MEMS

New Rochelle, N. Y-City business
was seriously, but pleasantly inter-
rupted by the activities OF a kissing
bride. The young lady, whose visit
will long be remembered by several
prominent officials was Miss Bertha
Easton Barber of New London, Conn,
who came here with Tyler Council
Mcnamara, the bridegroom-to-be, and
John O'Brien, Jr., a mutual friend

neer. The two made the trip from
New London IN an automobile. After
obtaining a marriage license from the
city clerk, they called on Judge R. Nc
Kinley Power to perform the mar
riage ceremony. He was trying a case,
but declared a recess and took the
bridal party to the private reception
rooms of Mayor Harry E. Colwell.
City Clerk George H. c. Lischke and
William ]. McAloon, his deputy
stepped in from an adjoining office to
be on hand for emergencies. When
the ceremony was ended Mrs. Nc
Namara threw her arms around Judge
Powers neck and planted two hearty
kisses on his cheeks. Then ignoring
the bridegroom she did the same for
Mr.. OBrien. Mr.. McAloon was stand
ing in lhae and got his kiss on claim
that he had acted as bridesmaid.
Don't forget the man who gave
the license" said the city clerk, and
Mrs. Mcnamara proved she wasn't
stingy.
The husband meanwhile caught
glimpse Of two pretty stenographers in
the city clerks Office. He was max

when his bride caught his coat tails.

she puckered her lips for kiss.

He assumed a disarming levity of
demeanor, smiling winningly. There's

archly-and extended his arms.
"Indeed?" She considered him with
pardonable dubiety.
Instantly his purpose became as

right, he was stubborn; and with fl

ing and gathering skirts about her.
Maitland stoutly denied the hideous
insinuation. Il am only too glad"
She balanced herself lightly upon
the step. He moved nearer and as
sured himself of a firm foothold on the
pebbly river bed. She sank gracefully
into his arms, proving a considerable
burden-weightier in fact, than he
had anticipated. He was somewhat
staggered; it seemed that he embraced
countless yards of Iuffles and things
ballasted with (at a shrewd guess)

Then, recovering his equilibrium, he
incautiously glanced into her eyes. And

"Oh."
The monosyllable was heavy with

the most obvious. Did she conceive
he had insinuatsd that it was his habit
to ferry armfuls of attractive feminini

midnight moon?
No matter. While he thought II

slender arm was passed round his
neck. Having awaited only that, he

teeth; he shuddered perceptibly.
what is the matter?" she de-
manded, deeply concerned, but at
pains not to stir.
Maitland made strange noise with
his tongue behind clenched teeth
"Urrrrgh," he said distinctly.
She lifted her head, startled relief
followed, intense and instantaneous.
I'm sorry" he muttered, humbly,
face afiame, 'but you tickled."
"Tm-so-sorry! she gasped, VIC
lently agitated. And laughed a low,
almost a silent, little laugh, as with
