bic souvenirs. have in my posses
sion now the very ak with which
Charles 1 got it in the neck. I paid
only IF for it and consider I got a good
deal the best of the bargain, for the AK
weighs about nine pounds. I konw
that it is the genuine thing, for 1 have
seen three others just ike it which
have been bought by Americans at the
same shop where I got mine.
I have also purchased a small piece
of the tail of the celebrated cloak
which Sir Walter Raleigh spread over
the mudpuddle to allow Queen Eliza
beth to cross. I also have the first
pipe smoked by Sir Walter when he
introduced tobacco into England. I
have discovered a small trademark Of
a pipe concern in Cincinnati on the
bit Of tho pipe, but I suppose that is
only coincidence.

The fashion of keeping little dogs as
objects of luxury is not at all modern.
Both Greek and Roman women used
to have small pet dogs, over which
they made as much fuss as does a
fashionable lady of today over her
poodle. Even men, usually foreigners,
were not ashamed to stroll about the
Roman streets carrying dogs in their
arms. 1t is said that julius Caesar
seeing some men thus occupied, sar-
castically inquired of them if the
women of their country had no chill

practicable on the subway system of
New York and the tunnels under the
Hudson river, where they have been
experimentally tried, and in the course

CLOTHES CAUGHT
ON MILL SHAFT
GEORGE SMITH, OF CULLEOKA,
HAS A MARROW ESCAPE FROM
SERIOUS INJURY.

George Smith, of Culleoka, had a
very narrow escape from serious inju-
ry and possible death while working
in the -four mill of the Culleoka Pro-
duce Company on Tuesday. Mr..
Smith was standing close to a shaft
in the mill when he leaned over, his
clothing, which were. damp owing to
the heat, caught on the shaft and al
most in the twinkling of an eye ev-
cry thread upon him except his shoes
and stockings were torn off. FoTtu-
nately he caught hold of the eleva-
tor as soon as he saw his predica-
ment and kept from being thrown
over until the engine could be stop
ped. Had Mr.. Smith lost his balance
and been thrown forward as re-
suit of the impact he would unques-
been badly hurt AS 1t was
escaped with some bruises and possi-
bly, a wrenched shoulder. Before the
engine could be stopped every parti-
Gle OF his clothing with the sole ex-
ception of his shoes and stockings
was torn completely from his body.

tailenders Tuesday afternoon by the
score of 8 to 5. The game was one
of the longest drawn out exhibitions
of the season, but practically every
minute was interesting. There was a
great deal Of hitting done. Red
Smith pasted the pellet for a home
run in the first inning with man
on base, Smith got a two Dagger in
the seventh and tried to stretch il to
three and was put out in chase be-
tween second and third. Armstrong,
second baseman for the Odd Fellows,
got a two Dagger in the first and
Lloyd got three Dagger in the ninth
but died on the spot. Red Smith
fielded his position like fiend, TAX

hurdling over the players bench get

sensational naked hand stop of "a

ball had whiskers on it, and lloyd

doing so fell, but recovered himself,
and in his haste threw the ball away

MESSAGE ON THE
PANAMA BILL
WANTS CONGRESS TO GIVE AS.
suRANcE TO THE WHOLE
|. WORLD.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-Presi.
dent Taft closed day of conferences
on the Panama canal bill with a spec
ial message to congress suggesting
the passage Of legislation which would
permit American ships to travel the
canal toll-free and which also would
allow foreign nations to test the legal
ity of this provision by suits in the
United States courts.
The president discussed the mes
sage with senators and members of
the house and its wording finally was
decided upon at meeting of the cab
met. The message was read in con-
,gress soon afterward and will be TAX
en- up tomorrow by committees of
both houses.
1t WIS the belief might that deter
mined effort will be made to meet the
presidents wishes, but some leaders,
particularly those in the house, were
inclined to believe the message
meant no further action in regard to
the canal at this session.
The president explained he was
anxious to sign the bill, but wished
to assure other governments OF the
spirit of fairness on the part of the
