Thackeray's Disfiqured Nose,


The usual account Of how Thack-
cray was disfgured says that Venables
broke the novelist's nose in fair
fight. John Ward in Notes and Que
ries supplies another version. About
a year after Thackeray's death Mr..
Ward was travelling on one of the
main railways and had as companions
two old ladies who knew Thackeray
well. One Of them said the novelist
had told them this story: .
Being one of the youngest pupils
(at Charterhouse), he was chosen by
one of the older lads, a rather proud
ar1stocrat in his way, to act as his
fag. Thackeray bore it as we'll as he
could, but demurred to some more ar
bitrary command than usual and fatty
refused to obey, whereupon the young
'aristocrat' caught Thackeray up, held
his head under his arm and with the
heel of his boot used as hammer
beat the beautiful aquiline nose quite
fat with his face-in fact. breaking
and injuring its structure completely
the excuse being, You'll clean my
boots next time, sir
Before his injury Thackeray was.

handsome Westminster Gazette.

lob KILLS SIX NEGROES
Lined Up In Florida Town and Rid
died With Bullets.

Lake City, Fla, May 23.-Six ne
groes were lynched here after a party
OF more than dozen men, masquerad~
ing as officers, appeared at the coun-
ty Jail and secured possession of them
by presenting forged telegram to
the sixteen-year-old son of the sheriff,
ordering the release of the blacks to
the alleged posse officers. The negroes
were being held here for safekeeping
on the charge of numbering B. B.
Smith of Marlborough and wounding
another man named Register on
May IL.
The lynchers, who had come from
Tallahassee to Lake City in automo.
biles, took the blacks about mile
outside of Lake City, where they COM
PEELED them to stand abreast. Ten
men then fired rifles and pistols at
the negroes until every one of the six
were riddled with bullets. Citizens at
daybreak found the dead bodies Just
after the automobile containing the
lynchers had left the scene.
The plans of the lynchers were dar-
ing, though but for 1 combination of
circumstances they probably would
not have been successful. The sheriff
OF Columbia county was out OF the
city and left the Jail in charge Of the
boy, who, aroused in the early hours
OF the morning, allowed the negroes
to be taken from the jail without
knowing the purpose of the mob.
The telegram which the leader OF
the mob showed the boy was sup.
posedly from the sheriff of Leon coun.
ty and said that the sheriff had re-
ceived limitations that a mob was
being formed in Tallahassee to take
the negroes from the Lake City jail.
The message ordered that the men be
carried further south to Illustrate the
suspected mob. AS the six negroes
have been moved frequently, the boy
thought the telegram authentic.

American Association
A ResourcefuI BADGER.

An English artist while painting a
sea piece discovered a badgers lair and
thought to play the animal practical
joke. Gathering together a bundle of
grass and weeds. he placed it inside
the mouth of the hole and, igniting it
with a match. waited for the ignomini-
GUS fight of the astonished household
er: But Master Badger was resource
full animal and not disposed to be
made butt of practical jokers. He
came up from the depths of his hole
as soon as the penetrating smoke told
him that there was a fire on the prem
ises and deliberately scratched earth
on the burning grass with his strong
claws until all danger was past. No
human being could have grasped the
situation more quickly or displayed
greater skill in dealing with an un-
familiar event.
