A G. l.. TRAIN HELD UP IN s. G
Tho Robbers Got Registered Mail Mt
Hardeeville, Jasper County.

Savannah, Dec. 12-Atlantic Coast
Line passenger train No. 80, from
Florida to New York, was held up
by robbers shortly after midnight
Tuesday at Hardeeville, s. G. A posse
left for the scene early this morning.
Particulars are lacking.
The train left Savannah at 12.45
Tuesday morning and was stopped by
robbers near Hardeeville, S. c., just
before daybreak. Several sacks Of
registered mail were taken.
The train was running in two
sections. The express cars, at which,
it Is believed, the robbers aimed,
were carried on the second section
and escaped attack.
Night Telegrapher McRoy, at Har-
deeville, cleared the track from that
station soon after it gou away, but
before it had gone out of sight il
stopped.
A few minutes later the second
section arrived from Savannah. The
crew ran ahead to find out what had
happened to the first section, but the
robbers had escaped.
The hOld-up men were passengers
on the train. They forced the engi-
neer to stop, covering the hagman
and conductor with revolvers. They
made the tlagman open the mail car
after 1t was detached and ran for
ward some distance. Here the two
mail clerks were made to give up the
registered mail.
The robbers then disappeared. A
posse was sent from here to take the
robbers trail.

dent occurred and she was seriously
scalded by staem and hot water that

neer about four years. He is sur

She was a remarkable old lady;
she lived pure, simple life, without
pretentions Of any kind; she spoke
freely what she believed, and was
a great believer in the old-time way
OF living. She never called a physl-

who are scattered over South Caro-

Lands Alleged Fish

"Chalky' Billings, a painter, has
been fishing with indiffernt success for
trout in Gilmore pond on the Stock
bridge Road near Pittsfeld, Mass, since
the law went of. Recently there was
tug on his line and the reel began
whirling in an unusal way. The pull
was so strong that Billings nearly fell
into the pond. He played his catch
for fifteen minutes and landed a mink.
The mink had swallowed a trout On
Billings line and the fish hook caught
in the animals stomach. The skin is
worth $40.

TAFT WILL LIKELY ATTEND
1t Is Planned for Him to Open Northwest
Development Congress

President Taft has announced that, if
the federal congress does not remain
over long in extraordinary session, he
will attend the Northwest Development
Congress, federation Of the principal
commercial bodies OF Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and
Alaska, which is to hold its first session
in Seattle September 5 to 9, next.
The belief is also expressed by Pres
ident J. w. Maxwell OF the Seattle
Commercial Club and others having in
charge the arrangements for the con-
gress that, at the meeting Of represent
atives Of the commercial bodies Of the
seven Northwestern states called by
Governor Norris Of Montana, to be held
at Helena May 5, details will be worked
out whereby the congress and the land
show, which it is proposed to hold in St.
Paul in December, will be made inte-
gral and continuing parts Of general
plan for the exploitation Of the resources
and opportunities Of the Northwest.
It is being strongly urged that, under
the direction OF the Northwest Devel-
opment League, which it is proposed
to form at Helena, a congress be held
in September Of each year in one Of
the chief cities of Washington, Oregon
or Montana and land show in St. Paul
the following December. 1t is pointed
out that the congress would quicken
interest in the land show, while the land
show would admirably supplement the
congress, and the two would work to-
gether in a most telling way for the
growth and upbuilding Of the entire
Northwest.
Ii is confidently predicted by those
most interested in the Development
Congress that some plan substantially
in accord with the foregoing will be
adopted at the Helena meeting.

Imagination and Eggs

Slowly but steadily the prejudices of
our fathers disappear. Formerly, for
example, says the Saturday Evening
Post, there was decided prepossession in
favor Of fresh eggs; and the notion OF
eating an egg that was approaching the
first anniversary Of its birth would have
been highly displeasing. Nowadays,
broadly speaking, nobody eats fresh
eggs.
It is we'll known that for a long time
the eggs eaten in England have come
from remote Russia. Last year over
two billion were imported. Since 1898
Germany's imports Of eggs have risen
from the value OF about twenty million
dollars year to about forty millions.
Our own eggs come in good part from
cold storage or from salt-and-lime boxes
in farmers cellars.
A cold storage expert calls attention
to the familiar psychological fact that
many men think their appetites crave
tobacco, even insisting upon tobacco
of a certain alleged flavor; yet with
closed eyes they cannot tell whether
their cigars are lighted or not. What
they actually crave is merely the sight
of the smoke. And not one person in
thousand, he asserts, can tell whether
given egg is fresh or has lain six
months in cold storage; even profess
sional testers are sometimes fooled.
The demand for fresh eggs, in short,
is merely an unreasonable prejudice
based upon purely imaginary grounds.
In Germany they eat horse with con-
siderable relish; and it is said stewed
spring dog is really a delicate dish.
Beware of mere prejudice. Consider,
for instance, the dietary prepossessions
of an epicurean Chinaman
