RESULT OF A FREAK BET.
One Man Dead and Another Gets Six
Months in Prison.

Americans VINO are thinking OF
freak bets on the presidential elec-
ton should take warning from the
fate of a restaurant keeper in Bar
men-Elberfeld, says a Berlin special.
He has just been sentenced to six
months in the penitentiary for selling
to a letter carrier a gallon of whis-
key, which the latter undertook to
consume within a specified number of
minutes in order to win a S. bet.
The letter carrier imbibed the
whiskey and the restaurant keeper
later deposited him for the night in
a wagon in a barnyard.
The postman YVES found frozen to
death the next morning.
He had asked an unsuspecting
friend to take a cross country walk,
and had picked route that ran
through the long unvisited scenes of
his childhood. His fond recollection
presented every one of them to view
the orchard, the meadow, the deep
tangled wildwood, and every loved
spot which his infancy knew.
Finally he pointed to a very small
mud pond.
Would you believe it, when I was
a boy 1 used to bathe in that mud
hole"
"Yes," answered his friend wear
lily, land it doesn't look as though
they had changed the water since. ~
The newspapers are the best
friends the poor man has. They
fight for all that is for his good, they
fight for clean government, low tax
es good roads, free schools, fol
good prices for his produce, for pro-
lection from the greed of corpora
tions, and in fact everything that is
for the good of the poor man. 1t is
all nonsense to say that the neWspa-
pers are enemies to anybody except
crooks. - Orangeburg Times and
