FIRED THE FIRST SHOT.
Edmund Ruffin, Who Started The
Struggle, Later Committed Suicide.

There is always a fascination about
the first whether it's a baby, a pair
Of trousers, high hat or the discov-
erer of the north pole.
And so it is that, with the fiftieth
anniversary of the civil war, there Is a
particular interest attaching to the
man who fired the first shot.
There has been some dispute about
it, but the consensus Of opinion has
settled upon Edmund Ruffin as the one
who fired the shot that freed the
slaves" Certain it is that he suffered
the i'll fortune that pursues so many
benefactors of the human race, be-
cause he ended a career of misery by
firing a final shot that gave him en-
trance to that bourne from which no
traveller ever returns"
Withal, he was an unwilling bene-
factor, because he was such an ardent
secessionist that when he saw the blue
would win he ended his life rather
than endure Yankee rule"
A book that the passing of years
has made interesting is in the pos
session of Captain Noble D. Preston Of
Philadelphia 1t is a history of the
American revolution, and was the
property Edmund Ruffin.
Captain Preston will never forget the
day that his servant Aaron handed
him the book, for with it came a
handsome pair of heavy blankets.
Preston, with his comrades of the
Tenth New York cavalry, was near
night Aaron woke his master up by
throwing the heavy blankets on him.
Aaron had been out with a party on
foragng trip. But he never told
where he got the articles.
AS Captain Preston never allowed
his men to enter a house except to get
eatables, he took the negro boy sharp
| ly to task. But when the captain look
ed at the blankets he noticed the ini-
tials u. s." We'll, whoever had
these blankets stole them, so you're all
right, Aaron" he remarked
The history has since been in the
relic chest at Captain Preston's home,
| he didn't take it out until a few days
ago, when General Pryor announced
| that he had been first delegated to fire
that first shot The captain pasted
this recent newspaper clipping in the
back of the book beside an DID, yellow

Speakers In the House Of Commons.
The ex-Irish attorney-generars de-
lghtfully mixed metaphor at Bootle

that one should not use metaphor
unless one really means it. The house
of commons produces a rich crop OF
these weeds of oratory. When MI

the house by describing the Irish To-

TRAPPED IN A VOLTS HOLE.
Sam Lawson's Adventure Shows the
Kind Of Men They Have In Okla

Sam Lawson's Adventure Shows the
Kind of Men They Have In Okla
homa.
THE fact that Sam Lawson is alive
today" said Col. Joe Ellswell Of Sweet
Wells, in the Texas Panhandle, "shows
the stuff they make their citizens of
over in Oklahoma. Sam Lawson's
brother-in-law, Miles Blodgett, lives
in Deaf Smith county, grand old Texas
and Sam went over there to spend a
week or so with Miles. Quite a few
wolves keep up their bothering OF
folks in that chunk Of the Panhandle
and Sam hadn't been there day be-
fore he went out to hunt wolves.
He didn't come back that day and
next morning the folks started out 10
have a look for him. They found
his horse on the prairie, saddled, but
without a bride. Thirty men secured
the country all day but couldn't find
the missing Sam nor any sign of him.
"The hunt was kept up until late
in the afternoon Of the next day, and
then one of the searching party came
upon the feet and legs of man stick
ing out of a hole in the ground. The
feet and legs were Sam Lawson's. the
hole in the ground was wolf den
and Sans body was covered three
feet deep with dirt and stones.
His face wasn't buried. sam was
alive and no time was lost in unearth-
ing him from his living grave. He
was so much nearer dead than alive
that il was not until some time after
he had been carried home and cared
for that he could give any account OF
how he. got into the extraordinary sit
uation in which he was found.
He had trailed a wolf to its den
and discovered that the hole contain
ed a number of wolf whelps. In or
der to get to them he had dug down
on a slant as if he were making the
entrance to a dugout. In the trench
thus made he lay down fiat on his
stomach to reach into the hole after
pup.
He got the pup, dragged it out and
killed it and gave 1t toss back from
the trench. He had tied his horse to
q bunch of bear grass near the hole
|
under the horses nose. That scared
the horse and he began 10 plunge
about.
His plunges caved in the bank
upon Sam where he lay fiat in the
trench. The falling stones and earth
| buried him.
by a frantic effort he managed to
work with his hands enough dirt
down into the hole under him so that
he uncovered a breathing space, al
though he was almost smothered be-
fore he succeeded in accomplishing
| the task. The weight on him was sc
great that he could not move as much
as a finger after that and Succor had
arrived not a moment too soon. sam
had lain there helpless. without food
or drink, two nights and nearly three
| days.
He was able to get around i'm a
couple of days and went right back to
Oklahoma where. he said, they didn't
call on a fellow to put his makeup to
such strenuous tests.

Cheating the Dead.

To steal pennies from a dead mans
eyes has been held for ages as the
most contemplate form OF thieVery'
But modern days have developed q
meaner depth of larceny-the betray-
al Of trust whereby poor bodies are
defrauded of the few feet of earth to
which they are entitled as a last rest
ing place. No walk of life Is free OF
these plunderers, the relatives or heirs
who succeed to comfortable fortunes
being quite as apt to rob their dead
benefactors as poor men are to run
away and shirk responsibility.
Mr.. Smith-who Is in this instance
composite person-was a fairly
prosperous New York business man.
His wife died I'm 1906. He mourned
her with every indication Of sincerity
and had her body kept in the receiv-
ing vault of a high-priced cemetery
near New York City for nearly year
Then he learned Of a less expensive
place farther away, and had the CONN
removed to It, The bereayed man was
so overcome with grief that he could
not Immediately select a burial plot
After six months he revisited the
cemetery and spent hours looking
over the grounds. With tears In his
eyes he told the salesman who showed
him about how beautiful his wife had
been: what a sweet, lovable character
she had; how devoted she had been
to him. Indeed. he became so sad as
he once more realized his loss, that ne
could not proceed with the melancholy
business of choosing plot. He went
away, still overwhelmed with emotion
and saying he would return wheh ne
was more composed. That was more
than two wears ago. He has not been
back yet.-Harper's Weekly.

FAMOUS ROYAL JEWELS.
Resalia Of England Kept Under Guard
In the Tower of London,


The men Of western countries leave
the wearing of jewels to women, but
it is not so In the east, where, espe-
cially in India, the princes vie with
one another in the magniflcance Of the
jewels worn In turban, necklace, belt
and sword hilt and sword scabbard
Their fingers are often covered with
beautiful rings and great gems fash
from their state dress.
No one knows how ancient may have
been the fondness of gems in Asia and
India, but the prehistoric man can
have had hut little use for them, for
he could not appreciate their beauty
where richness Of color could only be
got by cutting with instruments OF
which he was ignorant. There must
always have been some stones which
without artificial preparation showed
fine coloring. OF these the chief seem
to have been the turquoise, the carne-
liam and lapis lazuli.
In the most ancient of the Egyptian
sepulchers we find the mummies Of the
dead kings and queens and Of the great
ones of the nation wearing these sim
pie stones with the gold beads, plates
chains and rings, which have their
value today as Of old. One would i'm
agine that with a people so full OF
learning and of such wondrous civili-
zation other colored crystals to be
found not far from the Nile would
have had their place. But beyond the
occasional discovery of an emerald the
evidence tends to show that the beau
ties of Pharaoh's court had little but
gems which in our eyes have compar-
atively small value.
Our ancestors in Europe had, in the
bronze age, at least, to content with
enamels. The knowledge of the use OF
glass probably came to them from
lighting fires on sands and rocks that
could be melted with heat. Then the
red colors always visible where iron
exists must have given the first hint
how to mix this red tint with the
vitreous glaze. From the employment
of red from iron ores and springs they
advanced to use the green of copper
in the same way, and boxes and
PLAQUES of enamel of these colors took
their place on shield and casque
breastplate and brooch. Then both
for bronze and tin and gold, and for
colored glass, used in beads, and for
amber the traffic grew with the east.
| have seen the mixed colored glass
beads of Carthage dug up on highland
moors. These were often regarded as
charms by the peasantry, and kept as
possessing properties that might cure
disease, for none knew whence they
came, and they were superstitiously
regarded, as were also any balls OF
white or red agate from old regalia
of church worship.
Pearls are so short-lived that we
cannot know when they were first
used. That they were much admired
by our European and Asiatic fore
fathers is certain from the ancient
sculptures which show them in use
They, with amber and with crystal, are
probably the oldest ornaments worn.
The emeralds of China and of India
are emeralds in color, but have more
of the composition of rubies, fact
known only to modern students OF
chemistry.
All these wonders in colored stones
were too costly and rare for the west
