AFTER 2s YEARS IN PRISON
World Looks to Him Like Some
Strange Planet.

.r y =
saltwater, Mimi, July 29.-Fred
klingdell, "a, stood on the steps of
the Minnesota penitentiary at three
O'Clock and looked for the first time
on paved streets, electric street cars,
automobiles, arc lights and the
dozens Of other marvellous inventions
Of the last quarter century.
He had not been beyond the gray
walls of the prison for % years and
eight months.
Klingdell was sentenced to prison
for life for killing his hired man and
the attempted murder of his second
wife on his farm near Saltwater,
nearly 20 years ago.
He was German born, immigrat-
ing to America when seven years old.
He was a hard worker He says his
first wife stole large amount of
money he had saved. He divorced
her. He married again after he had
begun saving again and bought a
farm. He says he discovered his
wife intimate with his hired man.
He killed the man, attempted to kill
the woman and was sentenced to
prison. A mortgage Of 5000 was
foreclosed and the farm was sold.
Wien Klingdell returned to the
world he had $440, given him by the
State for his nearly 80 years OF la
Dor. A son-in-law in Chicago has
promised to provide for his declining
years.
He weighs but 90 pounds and Is a
scanned and weazened shadow Of his
former robust self. His teeth are
gone, he is almost deaf, yet he is
cheerful and hopeful He yearns for
the comfort and quiet of his daugh-
ter's home, little suburban cottage
near Chicago, where there Is to be an
easy chair always ready for "the old
man" on the front porch.
Klingdell's first day in the outer
world he did not recognize filled him
with awe. He was frightened at the
autos and the whirling electric cars
and bewildered by the rush Of life
and hustle. He was like a child OF
a visitor from a far planet.

Preacher Returns $3 Check because
Prayers Were Of No Avail.

Madison, Wis, July 28.-Rev A.
Tull, retired Methodist minister,
has lost faith In the Wisconsin Leg
islature and has returned the check
for SO which he was paid for deliv-
ering prayer in the Senate, with a
letter to State Treasurer Dahl, read
ing as follows:
81 received your check for So for
delivering q prayer In the Senate. l
thank you and the Senate for the
courtesy, but return 1t. 1t would be
purely commercialism to accept SO
from the Senate for asking the favor
of the Lord.
Really, 1t seems as If the $672
paid for praying during this session
was lost money. AS the Legislature
did such rotten business on all tenn
perance measures, 1t indicated that
not single prayer reached the Lord
for the promotion Of temperance, but
that he favored the breweries and
saloon-keepers. How could prayer
for money avail?
II have been sunk in debt for 6
weeks and needed money worse than
any Of them, but not such money"

Rushing Cattle from Mexico.

San Antonio, Texas, July 28.-Re-
garded as significant is the activity of
the Maderos In moving their cattle
out of Mexico. Thirty carloads were
started yesterday.
Railroad men report that other
cattle barons of Mexico are also un-
usually active in sending their cattle
to the States. The desire seems to
be to clean up before the September
election in Mexico.
In the late revolution cattle were
the mainstay Of the insurrectos as
food. Many Diaz sympathiznr con-
tributed unwillingly to their larder.

Tribute to Miss Mary Wheeler.

On April 16, 1911, God called to
His home our beloved sister, Miss
Mary Wheeler. No one but we who
knew her and loved her can ever tell
what it means to us to give her up.
But we must remember that God
never makes a mistake and bow in
humble submission to his will.
We, as members of the Woman's
Mission Society, Of which she was a
most faithful member, wish to offer
these resolutions of love:
1. Whereas, it has pleased God to
remove her from us, we sorrow not
as those without hope. We know
she Is at rest.
2. That our hearts go out In deep
est sympathy to her loved ones.
3. That page in our minutes be
inscribed to her memory and copy
be sent to the family and also to the
Baptist Courier and Keowee Courier.

HnndkcrcIliefs.

From French review comes the
news that the handkerchief does not
come from China rs is generally be-
lieved, but from Italy.
Only $50 years ago the handker-
chief Of n Venetian woman was con-
sidered a great curiosity. The style
OF carrying q bit Of lace and linen
crossed the Alps and was received
with great favor at the court of
France.
Handkerchiefs were then made of
cambric or lawn and bordered with
venetian or alencon lace. Under
Henry III Of France the sachet was
introduced.
A little later the handkerchief was
taken into Germany and was known
as the "fazelletin," after its Italian
name. Only persons Of quality used 1t
and an edict OF 1896 was published
at Dresden interdicting the use Of tho
handkerchief among the trading
classes.
1t then reached England, and ma
turally followed It's introduction into
this country.

MARK TwAIN's OLD HOME.
1t May BE Moved to Town Park at
Hannibal, Missouri.
(Chicago Inter-Ocean.)

(ChicagO Inter-Ocean.)
Mark Twain's old home in Hanni-
bal, Mo-, is to be moved to the town
park and preserved as a memorial to
the humorist. So says dispatch
from Hannibal.
The modest dwelling in which
Mark Twain lived has long been an
object Of interest to visitors and a
source Of pride to the town. How
ever, Hannibal has recently felt the
breath Of progress. And one of the
first things that this breath threat
ened to do was to snuff out this par
tioular building.
Fortunately, the Commercial Club
of Hannibal was alive to the com
mercial as we'll as the sentimental
value Of the landmarks. So when 1t
learned that the house was about to
be torn down to- make room for a
fiat building 1t at once secured a 60
day option on the property and an
nounced that the house would be
moved and preserved as a memorial.
uS DulluluB IS JWO-StOfy frame
structure and is in fairly good con-
dition. With certain amount Of re-
pairs it can readily be restored to
the condition In which it was when
the humorist lived there. And II the
town should decide to make It the
home Of a sort Of Marx Twain mu-
scum the memorial would become
doubly interesting.
The example set by the CONNER
cial Club Of Hannibal, Mo-, Is worthy
of imitation. Cities and towns which
neglect to preserve the various OBJ
jects Of real historic interest that
they may happen to possess are de-
liberately depriving themselves Of a
peculiar interest and appeal to out
siders that no evidences OF material
civic progress can supply.
