on his release Suddenly the newcom-
er sprang to his feet, and, pointing to
an old member whom he had been in
tently looking at, denounced him as a
spy and as the very man who had in
formed on, him in Russia and given
evidence against him in open court! In
a moment the room was in an uproar.
There was a hurried consultation, as
a result Of which several men flung
themselves on the traitor and uncere-
moniously bundled him out of the
room.
Police spies, indeed, infest the Rus
sian colony, not with view to punish
ing those locally engaged in the revo-
lutionary propaganda-thatw were i'm
possible to learn when Russian
fugitives from Justice" are about to
return to their native land, and, more
important still, to discover the names
and addresses Of people to whom "se-
ditious" literature is sent. And they
are sometimes successful. 1t has hap
pened again and again that a man who
has left the East End secretly to visit
Russia on important business, or with
the intention Of settling in some remote
village in that country, has been bag
ged Immediately he has crossed the
frontier. -
A Mysterious Propaganda.
Many Russians, too, have, in conse-
quence Of information received from
London, been convicted Of receiving
"seditious" literature. But the Russian
police, despite their elaborate system
of espionage, have never been able to
impede, let alone stop, the stream Of
revolutionary literature that steadily
pours into their country.
Where and how does it enter? It
does not, as may be supposed, go
through the post. It does not enter a
Russian port masquerading as some
innocent commodity 1t does not reach
its destination by tremendously cir
cuitous route. AS a fact, messengers
frequently innocent men, who them.
selves do not know what they are car
rying-take 1t across the frontier, and
then trusted agents distribute it all
over Russia The police make a cap
ture occasionally, but they have never
caught one Of the brainy men at the
head Of the propaganda.
What is most astonishing about this
strange and romantic effort in the
cause of freedom, however, is the num-
ber of supporters it has in the United
Kingdom. Many prosperous East End
shopkeepers and professional men,
we'll contented though they may seem
with things as they are, are avowedly
members Of the Bund. and Russians
occupying high positions in England
are among its supporters.-Philadel-
phia Public Ledger.

Bear Facts.-Jim Brent, ex-sherin OF
Lincoln county, New Mexico, told this
story to Emerson Hough, says the
Saturday Evening Post: g.
Back yonder in the free-silver days.
Brent had a friend who had raised
q grizzly from cub and had trained
the big brute to saddle. He used to
ride the bear on prospecting trips.
One day the prospector was riding up
sn arroyo when he run plumb Into
band Of six full-grown and untamed
silver-tip bears-enormous fellows
and they all showed fight
The prospector dismounted from his
tame bear, unslung his trusty rifle, and
after a terrific battle, six bears, one
after another, bit the dust. Then ne
mounted his own bear and proceeded
on his way, but he hadn't ridden
more than a mile when he noticed a
popularity in the stride.
"Sufe's you're here, Hough." said
Brent, he had killed his own grizzly
and was riding one Of the wild ones
home"

TELEeRAPHERs' ERRORS.
Some Slips That Made Sense That Was
Embarrassing.

some SiipS nat TNdo0 SSHo~ ''S>
Embarrassing.
Although, according to most tele-
graphists, a telegraphist's life Is mol
a happy one, there are certainly times
when the saving grace Of humor BAN
ishes for a few moments the dreary
monotony Of "keypushing."
These little humorous interludes
generally arise from errors In tele-
grams; for, although the British tele-
graph service is the best and most
accurate in the world, even British
telegraphists are but human. 1t must
be understood, Of course, that many
of these errors are detected in trans
mission, and rectified before the mes
sage is delivered.
For instance, a person receiving a
wire, Lizzie got fire box. Come at
once" would no doubt be very mys-
tilted. Fortunately the message was
queried in transmission, and the re-
sultant Lizzie got fine boy. Come
at once" proved to be quite satisfac-
tory to the recipient. Similarly. cock
lie and cater works is a very differ
ent message to "cycle and motor
works." and also Send trousers
lime seated" very unsatisfactory
substitute for Send trousers time
stated"
Most of these errors are caused
through bad spacing Of the Morse
dots and dashes, and also faulty wires
are very conductive to mistakes. The
following is a good example Of faulty
spacing: Just about the time Mr..
Balfour retired from the leadership of
the Conservative party, a telegraphist
was receiving some press work, IN
which occurred the phase "(Mr. Bal
four.)" Now brackets are signalled
Xxx" before and after the words con-
tanned in them. Through bad spacing,
latter. A message was received:
"Ta-ta, Mr.. Belfour, Ta-ta," a result
obtained by splitting up the Xxx"
badly. 1t was a fitting joke.
Another mistake was that Of tele-
graphist who got bowling paralysis
for bowling analysis" in a cricket
message. Also lne eTTOT 6ouiSSS
game resulted" instead Of "a goal
less game resulted" Is somewhat re-
markable.
When Florence Nightingale was
buried one of the hymns sung was
"Onward, Christian Soldiers" but un-
fortunately a mistake occurred in the
transmission Of a certain message,
and the result was, Onward, Chris
tan Solicitors"
Then "St. Peters and Crockies" is
not much like starters and Jockeys" "
yet the former was received for the
letter. A message was received:
Come at once If you wish to see baby
arrive" 1t should have been. Come
at once If you wish to see baby alive" Z"
Again, a man who wired to his
fishmonger, Send one cut salmon"
would not expect to find that the
message had reached it's destination,
Send one cwt. salmon" But it did.
Then, 1.-TWO station-masters collided

Those Guileless Debutantes.-"Did /

"No-what about Jimmie?' bubbled

He told me that he kissed the wrong

And he says that whoever it is, was
sweeter than the girl he intended to

kissed. And you were the girl he in

A Pertinent Question.-Like many
aristocrats. Craig Biddle the we'll

founder of great family is better than
the scion of a great family-that fine
deeds are worth more than fine blood.

Adriatic, was conversing with young
Englishman.

Not in the Pieture.-The Sunday
school is not exactly the place one
would look for humor, but the follow
ing story, vouched for by the teacher,
has it's amusing side.
Recently, in Sunday school class,
repeated the text: Arise, and take
the young child and his mother and
flee into Egypt" and then l showed the
children large picture that ILLUSTRATED
the text in bright colors. The children
studied this picture eagerly. Then they
all frowned and looked rather disap-
pointed. Finally a little girl asked:
Teacher, where is the ea?"-Casselrs

WOMAN RISKS
life TO Save
FAVORITE PIANO

Atlanta, Oct. 2S.-Mrs. L. J. Burke
of McLendon avenue was painfully
burned yesterday trying to save pet
piano from flames which snveloped
her house.
When the alarm was turned in fire
men rushed to the scene from near
by station, and on entering the house
which was filed with smoke, they
were astonished to find Mrs. Burks,
whom they supposed was outside,
struggling valiantly to move a piano
1t was only when the firemen helped
her push the piano through the hall
out the front porch into the street that
she was willing herself to leave the
burning house.
Instances are known where women
have risked their lives to save child
from the fire, or even a pet cat, but
risking ones life to save piano is
something new hereabouts.

Murder Mystery in Sumter
URSOIVed

Sheriff @. W. Fuller, who went with
Deputy Sheriff Lucius Harvey to the
scene of murder at the old Huguenin
ferry, where. the body of young ne
gro woman had been rescued from the
depths of Flint river stated yesterday
that no further light had been thrown
upon the homicide, and that the whole
tragic affair was still yelled in mys-
terry.
The dead body, we'll dressed in silk
from head to foot, was viewed by
many people before and after Cor
oner Jenkins held the inquest, but
none knew the deceased.
The woman's slayer did not exec
else due caution in adjusting the iron
weights to the body ere it was thrown
in the river. All of the iron weights
were tied about the womans neck,
instead of at the waist, which would
have sunk it out of sight. AS it was
one hand stretched pathetically above
the water and was seen by Ferryman
Haslip.
That no one recognized the deceas-
ed is also a fact commented upon
Evidently the killing was done al
some other point and the body hauled
to the ferry, perhaps late at night, and
thrown into the water. A fracture OF
the skin upon the forehead, Sheriff
Fuller stated yesterday, might have
been made when the death blow was
given.
The body of the unknown was bu
ried near the place where it wal
found in the river, and the grave ma.
keep we'll the secret of the murde
committed.
