MAIL CARRIED BY DOGS.
Uncle Sam Operates 1000 Mile
Route in Alaska.

Not everybody knows that the
United States has a 2,000-mile mail
route operated by dog sleds during
a good part of the year. But such
is the fact, over the trail between
Cordova and Nome, in Alaska. But
for these mail facilities the dwellers
of the bleak Northern Peninsular
during the long winter months would
be without mail service, owing to the
close of navigation. Even as it is,
the accumulation of Alaskan mail in
the Seattle postoffce, pending the
first steamers departure for Nome
this season, weighed an entire ton.
How soon the iron horse will take the
place of the sled is a question; but
Uncle Sam is looking seriously in
that direction And this may even be
the last year for the sled, If congress
gives him power to put his Panama
digging outfit to account for railway
building in Alaska.

TWO PERISH IN FLAMES.
Woman Attempted to Save Child.
Both Die.

Lexington, June 14.-On Tuesday
night, about 1890 o'clock, the resi-
dence Of the Rev. Faust Strother, q
highly respected negro preacher, near
the Lexington Fair grounds, togeth-
er with it's contents, was totally de-
stroyed by fire. One of his children,
seven years old, perished in the
flames, and his wife was so badly
burned trying to save the child that
she died this morning.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
When it was first discovered the
flames were bursting from a front
room, and in an effort to save he-
children the woman was severely
burned.
Faust Strother is a hard-Working,
honorable negro, and had just finish
ed building his home. The loss is
peculiarly heavy, and he has the
sympathy of both white and black in
his loss.

KILLS FATHER AND SON.
Georgia Farmer Shoots Two Over
Old Trouble About Hogs.

Greenville, Ga, June 14.-W. o.
Walton shot and killed W. O. and
Oscar Evans, father and son, follow
ing an alteration which started in
Wheeler's store, several miles east OF
here. Walton is a nephew of W. O.
Evans.
About a year ago there was trouble
between the two families over stray
ing hogs. Walton lived on the farm
adjoining the Evans place, and 1t is
understood that he has since been in
fear of them. To-day the two Ev-
anses came into the store, and, find
ing Walton there, started to pick a
quarrel. They levelled their pistols
at him and Walton fired three times.
Young Evans fell dead and Walton
ran out side door. The elder Ev-
ans followed him and then Walton
shot and killed him. Walton came
on into Greenville and gave himself
up to the sheriff, claiming self-de-
fense. The families are well-to-do.

Takes Poison i'm Thicket.

Jacksonville, Ind, June ia
tragic sequel to the criminal assault
and murder of a 73-year-old woman,
came this afternoon when her grand
son, George Kelly, aged 20, swallowed
poison as posse of officers was about
to capture him in a river bottom
thicket. He died in few minutes.
y Stabbed through the neck and
badly scratched, the body of the old
woman was found in a bed in her
humble cottage two miles from here
last midnight. Evidence showed she
had been criminally assaulted and the
criminal had torn the clothes from
her, probably after she was dead,
laid them on chair and placed the
body in bed. Her savings, $100
were gone.
George Kelly lived with his grand
mother, as did her son, who discov-
cred the crime. The former had been
at the house during the day and
could not be found after the crime
had been committed.
During the night officers picked up
his trail and hunted him through the
river bottoms. Several times they
seemed close to the fugitive but could
not catch a glimpse Of him. Late this
afternoon one of the men saw him
and with leveled pistols the possemen
started after the youth. He plunged
into a dense thicket. Fearing he
might fire, the officers proceeded
carefully and soon stumbled upon the
boys writhing form. Afraid he was
shamming and might attack them,
the officers watching him closely as
the writhing ceased and he died. Still
believing nothing was the matter with
their prisoner the officer called a
coroner before removing the body
He was pronounced dead and the
body was brought here.

BULLDOG ATTACKS CHILD.
Columbia Lad Pounced Upon by
Savage Beast.

Columbia, June 14.-While pass
ing along the street to-day little four
year-old Finley Owens was pounced
on by a savage bulldog which seized
the little boy in the throat and in
hicted seSous wounds before it was
pulled aWey. A passerby attracted by
the cries of the frightened child,
ran to the aid of the little one and,
after almost superhuman efforts, sue
ceeded in wrenching the bulldog
loose from it's hold of the child's
throat. Doctors gave the little one
immediate attention. The little boy
is a son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Owens.
The bulldog belonged to J. B. Heriot,
who conducts a meat market.

Lonnie Talbert Warren.

Died on Sunday night, about y
O'Clock, May rs, 1912. He was the
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. William War
ren, who with his young wife, bride
of only a few months, and one sister
and brother are left to mourn his
death and to cherish the memory OF
his bright young life.
Talbert, as he was familiarly called
by his intimate friends, was only a
little more than 19 years old, and it
seems peculiarly sad that one whose
life seemed so full of promise, should
be so early called away, but God
doeth all things we'll"
He was member of st. Johns
Baptist church, was an exemplary
young man, and well esteemed by all
who knew him. The sympathy of a
wide circle of friends is extended to
his parents and brother and sister,
and especially to his bereaved widow.

statement saying that Col. V. B.

Got His Goat.

There are lots of highly educated
people with college degrees who do
not know the origin of the classic
expression, "Got his goat" This
fine literary phrase, so far-reach1ng
in it's psychic import, originated in
East Aurora. It was first used by
Ali Baba.
Living neighbor to the Roycroft
Shop was one Ed Geers, horse gen.
eral and all-round sporty jackanapes,
known to the world as the silent
man." on account Of a way he has
of lifting his voice so you can
hear him a mile, and damning
the stable boys at inopportunte times.
In the stable Ed Geers had a very
fast horse, known as Prince Regent.
This horse was of a very nervous dis
position, and when in a box stall by
himself-especially in a strange
place--fretted and suffered from
homesickness. Ed Geers bought a
goat from Ali Baba and put it in the
stall with the horse, and the horse
and the goat became very chummy.
When they would take the horse out
to trot on the track, he would SEEM
ingly look forward to the moment
when he could get back and relate his
experience to the sympathetic goat.
There came a day when this horse
was to trot for the futurity stakes IN
Buffalo. All went well, and it look
ed as if Prince Regent had a sure
thing. The bets were all in favor OF
Prince Regent. But at midnight on
the day before the race, someone got
in the barn and stole the goat and the
horse grieved so for his mate that he
seemed to lose heart, and by the al
ternoon when the time came for the
horse to be called, Prince Regent lost
his nerve.
"What's the matter with that
horse?" somebody said, as they no
ticed the animals dropping ears.
"Why, somebody's got his goat,
said Ali Baba.
And so the phrase has gone clat-
tering down the centuries, like a tin
kettle to a dogs tail.-Elbert Hub
bard in the Fra.

Bottom Of the Sea.

There has been much dispute as to
the quantity of light at the bottom OF
the sea. Animals dredged from below
700 fathoms either have no eyes or
faint indications of them, or else
their eyes are very large and pro-
truding. Another strange thing is
that if the creatures in these lower
depths have any color, it is orange
or red. Sea anemones, corals,
shrimps and crabs have the brilliant
color, sometimes it is purplish red;
never a green or a blue fish is found.
The red and orange shades are for
the protection of the deep sea Great
ures, because the blush green light
at the bottom of the ocean makes
them appear of natural tint, and
thus hides them from their enc
mics.
The surface of a submarine noun
tain is covered with shells, like an
ordinary seashore, showing that 1t ls
the eating house of vast numbers OF
carnivorous animals.
A Goldfish takes whole oyster into
it's mouth, cracks the shell, digests
the meat and spits out the rest. Grabs
crack the shells, and suck out the
meat. In this way are formed the
mounds of shells that dredges en-
counter, and not a fish bone has been
found among them. Pieces of wood
are found, but they are always bored
full of holes by the boring she'll fish,
and crumble at the touch Of the hand.
Destruction is constantly going on in
these depths. If ship sinks at sea,
it will be completely destroyed except
the metal parts, and even they will
corrode and disappear. No human
bones of those who sank with the
ship will remain after while, the
creatures of the deep will devour
them.
