KIDDLES ARE OLD AS TIME.
But Boys Are Said to Be More Fond
OF Them Than Girls-First of
Which There Is Record.

1t is curious fact that boys are
more fond of conundrums than girls
are.
While all conundrums are riddles,
all riddles are not conundrums, the
term conundrum being used more for
riddles which are based on some fam
cied resemblance, such as, why is
pig looking out of a second-story win
daw like the moon?" and the answer
is because it looks round. If anyone
objects that the moon does not always
look round, you can reply, Neither
does the pig"
Two of the most famous riddles
are at least 5000 years old. The first
of which there is any record is found
in the fourteenth chapter of Judges.

One of the chief entertainments in
ancient times at any domestic gather

their lives in devising them and SELL

some public men now get others to
write their speeches for them.

Augusta, Ca, Oct. GA trolley
car, manned by four strike-breakers
was attacked just beyond North Au-
gusta, about o'clock this afternoon,
all of the men severely fogged and
one of them shot in the hip.
When the crowd had taken the
strike-breakers off the car one OF
them was rushed over to clay pit,
where excavation had been made and
water was standing. The man was
made to get down into the pit and
"dance' while a number OF pistol
shots were fred over his head. An
other of the men was taken to the
edge of the woods and f1ogged until
his clothing was torn to shreds.
Three of the strike-breakers are at
the city hospital suffering from Sc
we're bruises and cuts.
Superintendent Spofford went to
the spot where the car stopped and
attempted to have it brought back to
Augusta. At the point of pistols he
was driven back to his automobile,
and told to "high-ball," which he did.
The car is still standing on the line
and the people of that community de-
clare it is going to remain there until

GIRLS ASSAILANT LXNCHED.
Culprit Taken from Sheriff and
Hanged from Bridge.

Americus, Ca, Oct. 5. Babe
Yarbrough, negro railroad hand
who attempted to assault a 12-year-
old white girl, daughter of a promi-
nent family here, was taken away
from Sheriff Fuller late this after
noon and strung up by rope to a
bridge in Macon county, near Ogle-
thorpe, and then his body riddled
with bullets.
Screams of the girl who had been
attacked brought people to the scene
of the attempted assault. The negro
ran to the Seaboard tracks and hid
under a bridge. There he was taken
by police and lodged in the county
Jail. A crowd of angry citizens soon
gathered about the Jail. Sheriff Full
ler feared that the jail would be
stormed, so he hustled the prisoner
out of a rear door and placed him in
an automobile and started for Ma
con. Citizens observed the move and
a dozen automobiles followed. The
sheriff had a light car and was over
taken and forced to give up the pris-
oner.

Blessed Be Men Says Minister.

Worcester, Mass, Oct. 5.-Rev. c.
F. Hill Crathern, pastor of the PARK
Congregational church, has perpared
set of Biblical beatitudes brought
I'D to date. Here are some of his
amendments:
BLESSED are the men who accom-
pany their wives to church, for they
shall save them from the suspicion of
being widows.
blessed are the singers in the
sanctuary who can sing and will sing,
for they. shall never be sent to Sing
Sing.
BLESSED are the people who are
not forgetful to entertain strangers
for they shall entertain angels un-
awares.
blessed is he who walketh not n
the counsel of the gossip, nor sltteth
in the seat of the fault finder, but
whose delight is in the peace and
prosperity of the church. His name
shall be a continual praise in the
sanctuary, and his friends shall be
called legion.
blessed are the church members
who give the Lord and the minister
as little trouble as possible; who are
loyal to the church, regular in their
attendance, generous in their gifts,
gracious in their sympathies and hon
orable in all their ways. Rejoice and
be exceedingly glad, for great is your
reward on earth and in heaven

Matched for Cigars; Were Arrested.

Atlanta, Oct. 4.-For arresting
two gentlemen who were matching
each other for cigars, and haillng
them to police court on gambling
charge, City Patrolman J. A. Boze-
man stands in danger of being dis
missed from the force for lack of
common horse sense and discretion
Arthur Thurmond and A. NJ. Ga
bel, two we'll known Atlantians, each
the intimate friend of the other,
walked into a cigar store at Broad
and Walton streets, to buy cigars, and
matched to see which should pay.
About that time Bozeman, in plain
clothes, walked into the store and
said to the astonished gentlemen
that he was a police officer and would
have to arrest them for gambling.
They thought it was joke until he
showed his badge. The over jealous
officer actually wanted to call the
patrol wagon, but Messrs. Ihurmond
and Gabel compromised by letting
the officer accompany them to the
police station in their own automo-
bile.
There the gambling laws were ran
sacked with the recorder finding
nothing to justify the arrest. The
cases were dismissed. Current report
in city circles has it that the police
board officers are considerably put
out over the officiousness of Baze-
man and that they may consider his
removal on the gentle ground that
while he may be long on morality
he is apparently short on intelli-
gence.

Dynamite Found on Augusta Tracks

Augusta, Ca, Oct. "A stick of
dynamite about an inch and one-half
in diameter and about IL inches
long was found on the car tracks at
the corner of Fifth and Hale streets
early this morning before the cars
started running. The dynamite was
found by one of the track inspectors
who went over the street railway
track before any cars were started
from the barn. The dynamite was
turned over to Chief of Police Ell
lott, who is Investigating. There is
no clue to the identity of the person
placing the dynamite on the track.
The dynamite would have required
only sixty-pound pressure to cause
an explosion and of course would
have exploded if it had been run over
by a street car.

heard blood-curdling shrieks emanat-

They rushed in only to find that
Clark was merely trying to prevent
his bride from cutting her throat
with brand new razor which she
had purchased for that purpose.
She had also bought clothes IN
which she wanted to be buried, and
had made elaborate preparations for
her own funeral. She was not Sc

NO CLUE TO TAMPA KILLER.
Murders and Assaults Spread Terror
in Florida City.

Tampa, Fla, Oct. 5.-The red light
district of this city is terrorized by
the operations of the killer a ne
gro, who in the past ten days has
killed three persons-two women and
a man-and in a period of eight
weeks wounded five others, all wo-
men.
THE killer started his operations
as. an incerdiary. Daily for several
weeks the police and fire chiefs re-
ceived letters telling them that un-
less the red light district was cut out
the town would be burned. These
letters were followed by conf1agra-
tions, almost always in the red light
district, sometimes as many as four
in one night Finally "the killer
announced he had decided to wipe
out the people rather than the build
ings, and the shootings commenced.
Each Saturday night for several
weeks a woman was shot. At first
only negro women were the victims.
Two weeks ago 1.-The Killer enter
ed the home of Mrs. Luisa Rodrigu-
ez. on 5th avenue, and shot her dead
in the presence of her little son. Mrs.
Rodriguez was not member OF the
red light fraternity but had moved
into that section. She was his first
white victim. Wednesday night OF
this week Patrolman Goodwin was
shot at by "the killer" and he re-
turned the fire, but the negro gos
away. Thursday night 1.-The killer
shot through an open window and IA
tally wounded Viola Danford, white
woman inmate of a house of ill-fame.
She died last night and one hour af-
ter her death 1.-The killer" got another
victim, Vincenzo Canroa, manager CT
a small grocery in the red light dis
trict. Canroa was instantly killed.
The police have made arrests right
along, but after each arrest got
letter from 1.-The killer telling them
that they had the wrong party. Some
believe that there is an organization
here similar to the ''before day
gangs that have at times terrorized
other Southern eities.
