CONVICT IS SEEN TO SMILE
Has Not Spoken In Three Years-Is
Under Sentence Of Death-His
Sanity Doubted.

Stockton, Cal.-"Silent" Carson. the
convict, who was brought to this city
for investigation by alienists, and who
has not been known to utter word
during the three years that he has
been under sentence of death for par
ticipation in prison break. is report
ed to have smiled at one of the hos.
pital attendants. and this may break
down the obstacle that has prevented
his execution on a charge of murder.
Physicians who have had Carson
under observation say this is the first
display of any emotion on his part
of which they have record, and that
conclusions heretofore accepted as
proving him insane may be reviewed.
Carson is being subjected to a new
and original system of investigation
by several physicians.

Hunter Is Supposed to Have Turned
Dogs In Enclosure and Started
Animals on Wild Career.

st. Louis.-Boon's Lick and other
licks In central and eastern Missouri
have fair chance again to come into
their own, unless fourteen deer which
escaped from the William Meyer farm,
near Hollow. In the western part OF
st. Louis county, are recaptured. A
herd of twenty-five denizens OF the
woods belonging to John Cafferata OF
Delmar boulevard was stampeded by
dogs and all but eleven scaled the
fence.
Cafferata and three of his friends
have left for Gray Summit, Franklin
county. where they hope to form some
scheme of capturing some of the herd
and returning them to their fold.
They have been heard from in many
sections. but the owner never hopes
to regain all of them.
He received a message from Japan.
Mo-, twelve miles from Cuba, on the
Little Bourbeuse river, that two of
his pets had been seen there. Forty
miles out In Franklin county more of
the deer we're seen. and at Labadie
and on toward Union. Mo-, farmers
have sighted some of the flock. Caf-
ferata does not know what method he
can employ in capturing them alive II
he can find them.
The deer were shipped from a
friend in Maryland recently and sent
to the Meyer farm for safekeeping,
after the fences had been built unuH-
ually high Some former deer hunter,
presumably. turned his hounds into
the inclosure in order again to feel
the thrills of real buck chase.

Ancient Advocates Of Suffrage.

In casting about for original ideas
and suggestions for the many floats
which formed the principal feature of
their parade on the last day of May,
the Just Government league members
discovered that even in Biblical times
there were advocates of the suffrage
movement. AS a result, three Bible
celebrities were represented in the
pageant. They were Miriam, the sis.
ter of Moses, and Deborah and Hulda,
the Israelite judges. These three were
g%orgeously arrayed in garments be-
fitting their time and occupied one of
the most elaborate floats in the
pageant.
Madam l.. Won F. Mountford, a resi-
dent of Jerusalem, lecturer on Bible
lands and an authority on the correct
dress for the ancient days, gave the
benefit of her knowledge for the pur-
pose of making the Biblical float and
figures true to legendary times.
Miriam, the sister of Moses, was pre-
scented as the woman who led the
woman's parade across the Red sea.
The banner of Deborah showed her
as leader of the armies of Israel and
Hulda was suggested as a teacher and
leader.-Baltimore American.

STRENUOUS IN HIS W00ING
Modern Lover Could Not Use the
Method Employed by William
the conqueror.

A modern lover who resorted to
brute force to win his lady would soon
find himself In the street, if not in the
police station. But fashions in pro-
posals have changed in 1000 years,
and when William the Conqueror set
out to make Matilda, daughter OF the
count Of Flanders, the happiest OF
maidens, he adopted measures that
were forcible, to say the least.
The sutton Matilda had she did not
want, and the man she wished to WOO
her she could not get. The man she
did not want happened to be William.
duke of Normandy, and he decided to
go to Bruges and conquer Matilda.
There yer no national roads
through France in those days, and
William doubtless had a hard trip.
Perhaps Matilda noticed the mud on
his clothes when she came out OF
church and found him waiting for her.
At any rate, William descended from
his horse and, taking Matilda firmly by
the back of the neck, rolled her over
and over in the mire of Bruges, plant
ing well directed blows upon her royal
face and body with his other hand.
Life was elemental a thousand years
ago.
This strenuous love-making some
how appealed to Matilda. Perhaps it
was what she would have liked to do
to Brihtric, the gentleman she could
not get, who was only the English am.
bassador at her fathers court, and not
at all a proper person to be snubbing
a princess. So Matilda sent word to
her father that, sick in health and
dolorous in body" she had firmly re.
solved to marry no man but Duke
William.
Later, after William had conquered
England, he offered his queen the es.
tates of any English nobleman she
might name. Matilda did not have to
think twice. She not only chose Birth.
tries estates, but she put him IN pris.
on and kept him there all the rest OF
his life.

HOW TO MAKE FARMING PAY
English Farmers, Paying Higher Rent
Than American Tenants, Live
Better Than Latter.

English farmers have learned that
brains are more important than fer
tilizers in farming. 1t is a proven
fact that English farmers who pay a
great deal higher rent than American
tenants do, live as well or better than
the latter. The average English ten
ant farmer has a cash capital to work
on which would be drought suff-
cient by most American tenant farm
ers to buy a good farm. With 80
acres or even less, al English farmer
will often employ from two to five
men and do no work himself-merely
bossing the job. He spends most OF
his time studying the market, buying
live stock and selling the products of
his farm. He uses his brain and
therefore has money to hire muscle.
