ners in One Season.

In announcing that Tommy Guiheen,
late manager of the pennant winning
Elizabeth City club of the Tidewater
league would finish the season with
either Richmond or Petersburg in the
Virginia league, having received offers
from both teams, the Norfolk, Va,
Landmark said: "Guiheen is a second
baseman of class and he has been hitting
the ball hard this year. He is needed
by both clubs and it is expected that
the bidding for his services will be
lively" Tommy joined Petersburg, and
is now playing regularly at second base.
In six recent games he was at bat Y
times, touched the ball for IL safeties
and in fielding had % putouts and as
sists without an error.
Petersburg has now won the champion
ship, so that Guiheen has been with two
pennant winners this season. Norfolk,
which was in second place, has protest
ed all of the games in which Guiheen
played with Petersburg, claiming that
Tommy joined Petersburg under an

POEM SAVED MURDERER.
Governor So Moved He COMMITTED Death
Sentence.

A poem saved the life of Jesse p.
Webb of Portland, Ore.
He was to have been hanged recently
in the Oregon state penitentiary for the
murder of William A Johnson. Petitions
from friends to Governor West, and
even the tears of the murderer's wife
and daughter had failed in moving the
governor to commute death to a life
sentence.
What friends, wife and daughter had
failed in doing was accomplished by one
of Frank +. Stanton's Songs of the
Soil" 1t was that newspaperman'
poem They've Hung Bill Jones'" that
did it. Governor West was so moved by
the poem that he committed Webb's SEN
tence to Imprisonment for life, only Few
hours before the time set for the eXecu-
ton.
This is the poem that saved the life of
Jesse L. Webb.
THEY'VE HUNG BILL JONES.
Copyright by D. Appleton & Coz
They've hung Bill Jones to the sycamore
tree,
An his wife and his mother is a-weep-
in;
An his childrens come from the house
| to see,
And the col wind a-wailin' an a
| creepin'!
| creepin',
An the wife an the mother is a-weep-
| I'M
An the children's there
| Fer to stand an stare,
| An the col wind a-wailin' an a-creep'
in!
They've hung Bill Jones fer a crime o.
his,
An his wife an his mother is a dyin

ever saved a mans life.

Ben b. Lindsey once declared in an ad-
dress at boys Fourth of July picnic In
Denver. Don't despise the hair-splitter.
There Is usually something in what he
says" Judge Lindsey held up an orange.
II once asked a boy" he continued,
which he would rather have-one- half of
an orange or eight sixteenths.
'One-half' he replied.
II smiled, for thought i had him.
And why?' l asked.
" Because, said he, with the sixteenths
