COLONEL READY WITH BLUFF
Writer Of Detective Stories Found
Himself at Homo In Somewhat
Trying Situation.

The late Col. II. X. Shakelford. Who
was prolific writer of detective
stories, had as much presence OF mind
on one occasion as was ever shown
by any OF his heroes. lie was visiting
in western city, and, having spent
the evening with some friends, did
not start back to his hotel until after
midnight. AS he was passing through
a dark and desolate street, a footpad
stepped out from behind tree, level
ed revolver at the colonel, and told
him TO hand over his money. But the
authority on detective law was equal
to the demand OF the moment. lie
said afterward he thought he had stol.

himself from the trouble.

FIGHT OVER COUNTY CHAIRMAN

party to victory" His man was one
who would spend time as free as the
water that runs down the creek" He
dominated Mr.. J. NJ Blair.
Senator Barber then arose. He was
we'll prepared. The dart he was slated
to throw at Mr.. Blair was well pre-
Jared and he did not miss his am.
White and trembling he began: "The
Republicans have always profited by
Democratic mistakes, and this time
We must make no mistake" He sec
onded the nomination Of Mr.. Edwards
and instantly amid the silence defeat
was inscribed on the faces of the
Blair forces, and BARRIERS remarks
we're construed to mean that Blair's
nomination would be tremendous
Democratic mistake.
Senator FunA then arose and en-
dorsed the remarks of Skidmore and
Barber, and Blair's hopes had so COM
pletely faded by this time that no
found who would second his nomina-
ton. Mr.. Ed Hansen asked the chair
man II Mr.. Edwards would accept, but
Car Owen ignored the question. The
final vote fas called for and Edwards
received 10, while Mr.. Blair could
muster but 25. The triumph of the
bosses led by Barber was complete.
They looked at each other with a
smile of satisfaction as Mr. Blair
arose and left the convention.
The delegates to the State and Ju
licial conventions were then elected
under the direction of the bosses, and

ORIGIN OF A POPULAR DOG
Ancestors Of the Scottish Terrier Were
Used by the "Todhunters" of
the Highlands.

In ancient times each district in the
Highlands had its "todhunter," whose
duty 1t was to see carefully that the
then flourishing firm Of fox, otter and
company did not do too flourishing
business In lamb or poultry. Some
times these todhunters were of 1.-The
laird's men," sometimes they were
farmers and grazers; but always they
were local dignitaries. There was hon.
or and considerable profit in their of.
fee, and in time it came to be more
or less hereditary. Their duty was
simple. They waged war of exter-
mination against the vermin, which.
however, was a very different matter
from the good old English sport Of
fox hunting.
In the rough country horse and
hound would have been worse than
useless. and reynard made his den
in such rocky ground that he could
not be dug out. The sole solution was
a dog small enough to follow the fox,
or otter, or badger, or wildcat into his
lair; strong enough to bring him out
dead or alive; and game enough to do
both. A dog developed from this ne.
cessity, and that dog was the ancestor
of the present-day Scottish terrier
Outing.
