nRunninq Amuck."

The expression run amuck" is the
Anglicized form of a term used in
some parts of the orient to describe
a form of homicidal mania, accompan-
led by frenzied plunge in any and
every direction. In the countries
where the malady originated the word
applied to it was "amok." The cor
rupted form of it is now applied in a
score of ways-without much war
rant
In MALAGA, Siam, Java. and adjacent
regions the mental state which causes
amok is we'll defined and much dread
ed. 1t is attributed almost invariably
to excessive drinking of stimulants.
The victim first turns morose, gener-
ally remaining In this state for sew
eral days. Then he is suddenly seized
with the mania for slaughter and starts
on his mad run with the first weapon
he can reach.
Extra precautions against these mad
ravages are taken In some OF the
more civilized places. especially Ba-
tavia. There the police are armed
with what is called a catch-fork The
instant the victim Of amok starts on
his mad dash he finds himself hooked
by the minion OF the law and held
firmly the length Of this odd human
spear. He can harm himself. but that
Is the limit OF his insane power.

Percy had no complaints to make, but
Miss Doris Chatterton had. That
change had been made without notify

she didn't propose to stand It,

"Then you had better turn back"
was the reply as the girl headed up
the hill, which had several turns in it.,
Mr.. Percy remembered what his
mother had told him and followed.
At the first turn they found five la
borers, and one Of them held up his
hand and said;

Miss Doris.

Percy.

But they did. Az the next turn they
came upon a man who was inspecting
a broken drill. He was not over
twenty-three years old. and though
having his coat on and overalls drawn
over his trousers no one could mis-
take him for one Of the workmen. He
was cleanshaved, had a fine face and
big black eyes, and his voice was
pleasant as he lifted his hat to the
girl and said:

"The road is impossible from this

BY Bryant c. Rogers

Many times before Doris Chatter
ton had reached the age Of sixteen
her father and mother had said:
That girl needs a firm controlling
hand, or she'll take the reins and
drive the team"
Doris didn't want to be bossed She
wanted to boss others. She had a will
that struck sparks Of fire when op-
posed, and even when her father put
his foot down hard he wasn't quite
satisfied that he had won a victory.
At eighteen Doris had settled down
to the belief that she ran the house
and all in it, besides the township,
the county and parts of two adjoining
counties. All this, and yet she had
no enemies and few critics. 1t came
so natural to her to domineer that
people insensibly gave way to It, she
didn't go around with a chip on her
shoulder, but she just sailed along
having her way.
Miss Doris was fond of horseback
riding. Gallants used to run out from
the city to ride with her. There were
also others living near by. For in
stance, there was young Mr.. Percy,
who was deeply in love. His mother
backed his suit, and almost the first
thing she told him was:
Doris is very self-wiiied and
strong-minded, and you must be care
full not to cross her. At the same
time, give her to understand that
should heroic occasion arise she will
find you hero. 1t will be we'll to let
her know that you had three ances-
tors in the Revolutionary war"
Young Percy was making his court
ship on the lines laid down, when the
two went riding one afternoon. The
road they took was being improved
by the state at long, steep hill.
There was a natural wall of rock
there, and 1t was being blasted for
material to spread on the road. In or
der that the workmen might have a
clear field, and to avoid injury to trav-
elers, a new road had been cut around
the hill for temporary use and signs
put up. Neither rider knew of the
change until reaching the road. Mr..

luck. The city ghost did not walk as
usual. Late this afternoon, the police
force at least had not entirely given
up hope.

the City Council had voted the vouch-
ers for the city pay roll but there was

HOODOO FOLLOWS TIGER PLAYER
The Breaking Of Shoe String an
Unlucky Omen to Him.


Stories are told of the pet super
stitions of popular baseball players,
but none of them can equal that of a
veteran player on the Tiger football
team. His unlucky omen is a broken
shoe string. He says that a lace Civ
ing away in one of his football shoes
is invariably followed by an injury.
He first noted this in a high school
game, in which he had three ribs
broken. During his career as a Uni
versity player he has had several
painful injuries, all of them follow
ing soon after the breaking of a shoe
string. His hoodoo followed him to
Nebraska last fall. and there caused
him to take out time, the first he had
ever taken out in a varsity game. At
the beginning of this season new foot
ball shoes were issued to the men.
AS this player was putting on his for
the first time. lace broke. He i'm
mediately turned in the shoes and
asked for another pair. He is still
wondering if he has broken the
charm.

Treated as Junk After 63 Years Ser
vice in Courthouse.

An old bell which was rung in Col
umbia for sixty-three years lies half
buried and covered with weeds in a
vacant lot at 1913 Bass avenue. 1t is
the bell which hung in the Boone
County Courthouse from the time it
was built in 1916 until it was wrecked
in June. 1909.
The bell now belongs to Kirk Fyfer,
1916 Bass avenue, who received the
contract for wrecking the courthouse.
The materials from the wreckage
were used in other Columbia build
ings, especially the Thilo Building at
Hit street and Broadway, but as no
place was provided for a bell in the
new courthouse, the old bell was
treated as that much junk.
In its sixty-three years the bell has
been put to many uses. 1t has been
rung in times of celebration, it has
tOlled the death knells of Columbia
citizens and it has called political
meetings together. 1t has even been
used as fire alarm by some of Col
umbia's early fire departments.
The bell is now green with age and
covered with moss. 1t was a preten-
tious bell about two feet high and a
foot and half in diameter. 1t bears
no inscription except the name of its
maker. "A. Fulton, Pittsburgh" Two
or three churches at one time or an
other planned to buy the bell for their
own use, but later decided on newer
and SINNER bells. The old bell, after
its long service, is an outcast.

EXPERIMENTS IN COOKING
A University Reports That Meat Does
Not Require High Temperature.

Cooking meat in a very hot oven
offers no advantages and many disad-
vantages, as shown in experiments at
the University of Illinois. A temper
allure of 1856 degrees Fahrenheit i'm
poses a difficulty in the danger OF
burning. Much better results are OBJ
tanned in a temperature of $50 de-
grees. and still better in an Aladdin
over with a heat of 212 degrees. In
The last named instance the meat is
found to be more juicy and highly
favored, and the cooking more uni
form throughout.
The findings have added to the evil
dence in favor of fireless cookery and
Miss Mitchell, one of the university
instructors, asserts that meats cooked
in the fireless stoves are always well
done, and more tender than when
boiled. The slow cooking in the
moderate temperature causes the heat
to penetrate to the center of the meat.
even in very large pieces, and always
this heat is of sufficient intensity to
insure thorough cooking without dan
ger of overlooking. and without
toughening or hardening the outside.
The university experiments, for the
most part, were to exemplify advan-
tages in using the lower priced cuts
of meat, and to prove the best ways
of preparing them. The experiments
bore out the truthfulness of many
time honored theories of cookery, and.
at the same time, supplied some in
teresting new suggestiOns.-NatiOnal

THE WHY OF NOVEL WRITING
Also Some Advice as to How 1t Should
BE DOne.

BE DOne.
Novel writing has become a habit.
Men used to write novels to amuse
their fellow creatures-to take tired
people to the islands of the blest, as
one of our finest living hands has put
it-but today novel writing has be-
come a habit, resorted to for many
different reasons.
Some men write novels because they
have got into a mess with a woman
and want to see how it looks on pa
per, or to explain their real motives,
or to find way out. Other novels
are really intimate letters intended
for one reader only. Others - and
these are largely those written by
wOmen-create the kind of life which
the writer would have lived had she
ever had the chance: exercises in
what may be called the Consolation
School of Fiction. But the greatest
number are written because someone
else wrote better, and the initiative
faculty is so strong in us.
OF course there is only one thing
for a novelist to be. and that is him
self. But one has to attain a certain
age to know that. To try to write
in anyone else's manner is fatal. To
novelists who have not the courage
or the conceit to be themselves, but
who try to infuse a popular element
into their work, I would give this ad-
vice: do what you can as we'll as
you can. and let the others do what
you can't. without envying Them
And when they have succeeded l
would go to them again and say:
