Memphis, Tenn, September 81
Baptized in a bathtub following con-
version and joining the Baptist
Church on what she considered to be
her death bed, was the self-imposed
experience of Mrs. Lethe Barker, of
this city, today.
Suffering from typhoid fever, Mrs,
Barker felt death drawing near and
Rev. S. G. Savage, Baptist minister,
called. She professed religion soon
after, and insisted that she be baptiz,
ed after the tenets of the Baptist
Church.
Members of the family protested
as well as her physician, but the
stricken woman persisted. She was
taken to a bath room, immersed in
the water and pronounced to be
whole.
The patient rallied after her bap
tism and now is believed to have a
slight chance for recovery.

In The Act

An effort was made Friday night
by burglars to enter the Meyer-Lin-

into the rear of the building on the
alley. The probability is that they
were frightened away before they
could get away with anything.
When the store was opened Satur.
day morning 1t was discovered that
one of the rear windows was broken
and that the heavy wire screen had
been torn aside. The lower sash OF
the window was raised, marks of a
chisel point showing plainly the man.
ner in which the intruders operated
Evidences were found where someone
had climbed through the window to
the inside of the store, but nothing
was found to be missing. On &C
count of this fact, it is believed that
the person or persons who broke in
were scared away.

Check Was HOnOfed
And The Change Handed Out

Though the police are slow in let
Ting loose of their information,
classic piece of check showing was
worked in this city on Tuesday, says
the Newark American Tribune.
The fellow was genius and had a
makeup exactly suited to the role he
played. He said that he was a Balti-
more and Ohio brakeman, and his
clothing and calloused hands bore the
theory out. He said his name was c..
l.. Wilson, and a man by that name is
in the employ of the company.
The check shower evidently knew
Mr.. Wilson, as he had chosen the
name of a man in the service whose
description in general way answer
ed the personal appearance of the
check shower. The real G. l.. Wilson
is O very reputable man, and that fact
may have made it easier for the check
worker to ply his trick. The fellow
was a confidence man who did not
overlook bet.
One of his victims took the precau-
ton to call the railway timekeeper,
and when he was answered that they
had brakeman in their employ by
the name of c. l.. Wilson they cashed
his check The checks were drawn to
himself and on a city bank, in one
case on the Franklin and another on
the First National bank. He visited
clothing stores exclusively, and he is
known to have victimized George Her.
mann for $40, William Christian for
s5 and Ed Doe for $40. There are
probably other victims.
His play was to say that he had
gotten up street too late to get into
the bank and wanted some goods. He
had already drawn the check to HIM
self to cover what he wanted to buy,
always more Jnan the amount of the
clothing purchased. He is described
as man a little above middle height
dark complexion and hair quick NOV
er and dressed about as brakemen &c
clad He varied the story somewhat
in the Christian store, where he said
that he was fireman, and after get
ting the check cashed for 5O-cen'
shirt he remembered that he wanted
three cotton polka dot handkerchiefs
'like his wife got there" and handed
back a part of his ill-acquired coin.

SEASON
For Hickory And WaInutS Is
Now Here

Hickory nuts are ripe and fairly
plentiful. Walnuts likewise, hazeI-
nuts too. This is the word that the
scouts bring in. The farmers are not
spreading the news broadcast, for
what kind OF. policy would it be to
invite unknown persons to come out
and club your trees. Many of them
don't favor visitors bent on this mis-
sion, at ALL Others feel different
about it and allow nutting expeditions
on their farms with the invitation to
go as far as you like" It's fine
thing to go and get permission first.
This saves embarrassment
The nutting season is now on All
that is necessary to bring them down
now is little shower, with perhaps
another touch of frost. Everybody is
joining the nut club with no need to
file applications for membership.
When nuts ara plenty, they are
what you might call pretty consider
able plenty, and when they are not
they are few. This seems to be one
of the big crops. The trees are re-
ported as well loaded and from now
on nutting crowds will be taking ev-
cry opportunity to get out.
There is untold enjoyment in shin
ming up hickory tree, with rough,
jagged bark obstructing your ascent.
There is always somebody willing to
stay on the ground and watch you
tear your clothes, part with frag-
ments of your hide and risk your
neck crawling from limb to limb. The
willing workers on the ground always
have the jump on you, too, when it
comes to filling sacks. They gather
the harvest while you initiate your re-
puted original ancestor by hooking
your hands and feet around limbs.
And when you come slithering down
the rough bark, they are not always
ready to divide evenly, either. 1t is
fine thing to be caught up in for
| Dluueu lI6Sg Win du Chl aSOh Wv NhOi
armed with CAD footing it rapidly in
your direction.
Walnutting affords just as much
sport but the favorite method of bring
ing down the game is by throwing
clubs into the tree and shaking the
limbs. 1t gives you better start, too
if there is a pursuit, for you are ready
for a quick getaway. From now or
the boy will be known by the walnut
stains on his hands.
OF course grownup people go out
after nuts, and have good time a
it-a very enjoyable time But boy
and a dog and big crop of nuts
makes a far more enjoyable day, anC
when the supper table is reached, the
lad has linked" 20 miles and has one
big appetite which would put to shame
whole band of threshers.
Cracking hickory nuts beside the
stove in a warm kitchen on COLI
night is fine sport, but it does no
compare with the pleasure of collect
ing the nuts.
