A Doq Groom.

The dog and the horse often become
great friends and are very fond Of
each other. A gentleman had New
foundland dog that always went to
the stable to get his horse. While the
groom saddled the horse the dog lay
with his nose between his paws.
When the horse was ready the dog
took the reins in his mouth and led
the horse to his master. He then fol-
lowed him in his ride.
On returning the rein was given to
the dog, and he led bis friend back to
the stable. If the groom happened to
be out Of the stable the dog barked
loudly till he came.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A SUB
ScRjBER7

A court decision has lately been
rendered in Massachusetts, on what
constitutes a subscriber.
The Judge firmly believed that a
man who received the paper. although
he never subscribed for 1t, IL entitled
to pay. James Thompson moved.
and William Robinson took imme-
date possession, and received and &C
cepted a weekly newspaper that was
delivered to him through the mails
every week. The goodnatured editor
sent accounts frequently. but no at
tention was paid to them by Mr.. Rob
inson. Finally there was q day of
reckoning. Robinson had received
the paper for some time, he informed
the collector, but he said that he
never subscribed and declined to pay
for 1t. The Judge personally ques-
toned the defendant who said that
he read and made use of 1t and was
receiving the accounts, which were
frequently enclosed in the paper.
Judgment was rendered In favor Of
the newspaper.
The Judge was severe in his crit.
cism of people who are receiving pa
pers and do not think It worth while
to pay for what they receive and
make use of 1t as an act Of dishon-
esty, he said one should acquaint the
publisher and pay for what numbers
he receiyes.-X.

RECENT ARMY RECORDS.
How colored Soldiers Endure Hard
ships Compared With White Men.

How colored Soldiers Endure Hard
ships Compared With White Men.
The colored soldier endures the hard
ships Of army life with less loss O.
time from active duty than the whit,
enlisted man. according to the annua
report Of Surgeon General George II
Torney. The noneffectiye rate of tn,
colored soldier was 25.SS, while that o
the white soldier was 1880. the Port,
Rican 29.78 and the Filipino 1885. Tn.
report likewise shows that the whit,
troops required the highest averag,
number of days treatment for eacl
case Of disability. The Porto Rican,
had the highest rate for admissions t,
hospitals and for deaths.
However. the constantly noneffectiv,
rate, which the surgeon general says I.
the true measure of the loss in efficien
cy Of the army from sickness and in
jury, was 1878 per 1000, the loves
noneffective rate in the history of tn,
army. The deaths from all cause,
were 348. of which 1914 were from dis
ease. The total death rate and tina
from disease are both the lowest OF
record except for 1910.
The admission rate for alcoholism II
the United States for the year 1911
was 20.31. material improvement,
over the preceding year, when it wal
23.51. 1t is stated that this rate ha,
shown steady diminution since 1907
following an equally steady rise fol-
eight years before 1907. The rate foI
1911 is the lowest for any year since
1870. except for the years 1898 ant
1899, when the rates were approx
mately 16 and 10 per 1000. As thos.
were years Of war, when such rates
are usually lower. they can hardly bl
taken as basis Of comparison.
There were 5O,534 recruits examined
as compared with 25,1 for the pre-,
ceding year. OF each 1000 examined
90.55 were rejected. as compared witt
04.62 for 1910.
The number Of foreign born recruit
is less than last year. being 1884 pei
1000 for 1911, as compared with 1855
for 1910 and 14O.46 for 1909. The most
marked decrease in the proportion OF
recruits was from Germany. Ireland
and Canada.
The death rate in the United States
army was 4.72. as compared with the
Russian 4.O7, French 375, Spanish
8.71, japanese 357. Austro- Hungarian
2.84, British 242. Bavarian 2.26 and
Prussian 1.78. The rate for total loss
es was 1912 per 1000. as compared
with the Bavarian 51.58, Spanish 47.9,
Russian 45.S. Prussian 42.SS, French
5000, japanese 30.51 and English 13.49
The death rate for typhoid was OH
per 1000, as compared with the Span
ish O82, Russian O7S, japanese O.55,
French O47. British OPS, Austro- Hun
garian O.2O. Bavarian O.O6 and Prus
sian 0.03. For malarial fevers the
rates for the United States were lower
than for the British, Russian and Japa
nese, but higher than for other coun.
tries. The rate for dysentery for ouI
army was higher than that for any
other army. except the British. Fol
tuberculosis our rate was lower thar
that for the Spanish, French and Japa
nese, but higher than that for the other
countries mentioned.

A Rino Trick,

A scientific experiment which will
interest young and old is to hang from
the ceiling thread which has been
soaked in very salty water and then
dried.
To this fasten very light ring and
announce that you are about to burn
the thread without making the ring
fall. The thread will burn. it is true
but the ashes it leaves are made up Of
crystals of salt. and they are strong
enough to bear the light weight of the
ring tied to the thread.

CATHOLIC FOREIGN MISSIONS
Receipts More Than a Million and
Half. United States Is Next to

France as Largest Contributor.
The Society for the Propagation OF
the Faith, the one great Catholic for
eign mission agency, reports receipts
for 1912 of $1,610,OOO, a sum larger
by 1855, 400 than in 1911 and the
largest in the history of the society.
OF this increase $S5,200 or more
than half, was sent by Catholics OF
the United States. American Catho-
lies contributed a far larger SUM
than those of any other country,
France alone excepted. The sum last
year was $366,400, the New York
archdiocese sending $151,90 Boston
$4,000, Philadelphia $4,000, Bal
timore $1,000 and Chicago $500.
French Catholics remain the great
resource of Catholic foreign mis-
sions, giving last year 1921, 800.
Those of Germany gave $4,000, of
Italy $4,000, of Spain $40,SO0, and

Catholics $4,000, almost all of it

In the matter of size they run from
the diameter of a twenty-five cent

stead of the single row of open nat

So far as is known the tree has

LYNCH DAWSON NEGRO
HE SHOT CHIEF OF POLICE w. @.
BARROW IN ANTERICUS SAT-
URDAY NIGHT.
MOB WAS QUICKLY FORMED

Swung TO Cable in Middle of Street,
RiddIed With Bullets, and Then
Saturated With Oil and Set on
Fire in Main Business Section.
AMERICUS. Ca, July 22.-Amer-
ieus was the scene last night of the
most awful, gruesome tragedy ever
witnessed here, the lynching of a
negro, William Redding, who two
hours before had shot down Chief OF
Police VIM. C. Barrow upon the iden-
teal spot where his own body was
pierced by two thousand bullets fired
nv a mob who had taken him from
the county Jail.
The bloody tragedy had its incep-
ton at $50 o'clock when Redding,
resisting arrest at the hands of Chief
Barrow. wrenched the chiefs pistol
from his hand and shot him through
the breast.
Shooting Became General.
As Chief Barrow fell to the pave
ment Redding ran down Cotton ave-
nue.. He was holly pursued and sew
eraI shots we're fired at the fleeing
negro. Turning into Wheeler street
he reached the next corner where he
was shot down Redding was quickly
overpowered and rushed to jail.
Three other negroes were shot by
accident during the trouble, one of
them, Daniel Stallings, perhaps fatal
", while Morris Allen and an I'M
known negro received slight flesh
wounds. They had no connection
with the trouble, and one was 400
yards from where it occurred.
Bullet Went Through Body.
The bullet which pierced Chief
Barrow's breast emerged near the
vertebrae and struck Morris Allen,
the colored porter for the Ayashery,
who stood Immediately behind the
chief. The bullet entered Aliens

wound. Still another innocent by

the bullet grazing the scalp.
Avengers Get in Work.
AS early as 8 o'clock an onslaught
was made upon the Jail in the at
tempt to secure the prisoner. The
mob numbered hundreds and resist
ance upon the part of the officers was
futile.
Brushing past officers the members
of the avenging party swarmed into
the jail by doors and windows. They
carried huge hammers and crowbars,
and the battering down of the steel
doors was an easy matter. Upon the
outside other hundreds waited in
eagerness the success of the on
slaught upon the prison. The strokes
i of the hammers upon the steel doors
could be plainly heard across the
street and each stroke made success

HAS THE BRAND OF ABSORBENT
RATTLESNAKE KING AWAITS
DEATH TO END MALADY.
For 10 Years an Invisible and Ghost
Iy Snake Has Lain Upon His
Leg an Unjust Nemesis.

Leg an Unjust Nemesis.
Luther king, better known as the
'Rattlesnake King" is slowly dying
and halls the inevitable as a well
come end to an affection without par
allel.
In the early part of August, 1873,
he was picking blackberries in the
mountains of Idaho when a rattle
snake, disturbed in its sleep, struck
ouicklv and without warning and
closed it's teeth so firmly upon his
leg a little below the knee that he
dragged it as he ran, whipping and
Jerking, for 200 yards or more.
He reached camp all right, the
poison was extracted from the bite
and the wound healed in few
weeks.
For 20 years, an unaccountable
period of dormancy of the effects
that afterward took place, he went
about sound and well, the snake-blte
practically forgotten. Then on the
last day of July, 1895, he felt pc
culiar Irritation on the bitten leg
but upon the instep and not just be-
low the knee, where appeared the
faint scar of the bite. The nex'
morning, August 1, he woke up feel
ing dizzy and to find that the irri'
tating spot on his instep was sore
All that month he slept from Is to
20 hours a day, drank little and ate
scarcely anything, while the func'
tions of the body stopped. On Sep
TENDER / he got out of bed and called
for something to eat. By September
4 the sore was completely healed.
The same thing has happened eV-
erv year since with inexplicable regu-
larity and always with the addition
of a new sore. He now has Is scars
upon his leg. That first sore upon
his instep, like a periodic volcano
has revived IS times, the second IL
times and thus it becomes a simple
problem in progression to find that
Luther King, bitten once by live
rattlesnake, has been rebitten III
times by an invisible ghostly snake
that all through each August lie;
coiled there, a dread and unjust Ne
mesis. upon his leg.

sMARTING UNDER CRITICISM
Atlanta Police Have at Last Decided
to Let the Petty Offenders Alone
and Go After FelOns.

ATLANTA.-Assaile by criticism
that is not altogether unfriendly and
admitting themselves the necessity
for a change of method the Atlanta
police and detectives have decided to
let the little two-by-four bootlegging
blind tiger and other petty offenders
alone for a few weeks and devote
some real, serious work to rounding
up the sure-enough criminals, the
felons who are numbering and bur
glarizing and highway robbing in
and around Atlanta.
Even within the past twenty-four
hours the new and more vigorous
policy of the department toward real
crime has borne fruit, and twenty
five prisoners, many of whom are ac-
cused of burglary, were bound over
to the higher courts yesterday.
In the meantime the detectives
who have been put on the trail OF
burglaries have recovered hundreds
of dollars worth of valuable loot,
including the valuable jewels stolen
from the residence of Mrs. L. c. Ha-
eel Monday.
The Atlanta public has been quick
TO appreciate the "ginger" IN the way
the detectives have bucked up within
the last few days. The very people
who were knocking" last week, and
doing it justly, are now applauding.
