Comedy a Near-Tragedy

ABOUT NOlnlns might well
describe a situation in Mansfield
this week.
1t seems that Otto Tarbutton
and wife had a quarrel Monday and
Mrs. Tarbutton decided to go to
her mother in Nebraska, boarding
the Frisco passenger due
here at GIG for Springfield.
On the same train James Camp.
bell Of Mansfield and He. PeaTman
uf Tulsa. Okla, who had been Wis
iting at tie Campbell home, went
to Springfield enroute to Oklahoma
Mrs. Tarbutton, asserting that
her husband had attempted to shoot
her, took the revolver with her
When MI. Tarbutton discovered
that his wife, his revolver, Mr., Pear
man and Mr., Campbell had left
simultaneously, he apparently on
ceived that Pearinen had stolen his
wife and his revolver. He. notified
City Marshal Strong to this effect
and a message toSpringfield caused
the detention of all until Strong's
appearance in Springfield Tuesday.
1t then developed that Mrs. Tar.
button had the revolver and was on
her way to her mothers, and that
the men were enroute to Oklahoma
All were muck surprise at their
detention and when the situation
was explained Mr.. Strong and Mrs.
Tarbutton came back to Mansfield
and the men were given permission
to continue on their journey. Camp.
bell had an unloaded revolver in
his grip and he gave it to Mr..
Strong, who returned it TO the
Campbell home
A large crowd met the passenger
nom Springfield Tuesday evening
but there was nothing exciting and
the crowd dispersed to wrap them
selves in the arms of Morpheus and
dream of things that exist only in
the Imagination of the unduly ex-
cited
Mrs. Tarbutton left Wednesday
evening, we understand, for Neb-
raska, stopping in Springfield en-
route.
Mrs. Tarbutton's version of the
affair follows:
To my friends in Mansield-I
would lire to have a little talk with
you, as | am back again. | am in
nocent of what has been told by
o. Tarbutton, of leaving with an
other man. | was married Decem-
Der %, 1911. and have been treated
like a dog ever since. He has
drawn a gun on me more than once
and thrown his shoes at me and
| hit me with them. He wouldn't
work or try to make a living and
wouldn't let me work. The trouble
started Monday oyer my trying to
sell some books. He drew the gun
on me Monday afternoon and |
left and went to Fred Growers and
from there to Daisy Hodges and
borrowed money to go to Spring
field; | am acquainted there and
knew | could get work, till | could
hear from my mother in Nebraska.
| cared nothing for any other man,
only Otto,I loved him but he didn't
treat me right. If anyone wants
to know anything about my char
acter ask anyone but his mother.
| am liked by all of his folks ex.
cept Mrs. l.. Tarbutton. | had the
gan when l left for Springfield, l
took it to keep him from killing
me. Mrs, Campbell got the gun
away from him and took it in her
house and that's where | got it. All
intended to do was to get back
home, where I have Il good home.

LAKE OF THE DISMAL SWAMP,

"TT HEY made her a grave. too cold
and damp
For soul so warm and true
- AND she's gone to the Lake OF
the Dismal Swamp,
Where all night long by a FREELY lamp
She paddles her white canoe
And her FREELY lamp soon shall see.
And her paddle l soon shall hear.
Long and loving our life shall be,
And I'll hide the maid in cypress tree
When the footstep of Death is near
Away to the Dismal Swamp he speeds
His path was rugged and sore
Through tangled juniper, beds of reeds.

feeds
And man never trod before
And when on the earth he sunk to sIeep
If slumber his eyelids knew,
He lay where the deadly vine doth wee.

The flesh with blsterng dew
And near him the she wolf stirred the
brake
And the copper snake breathed in his
ear
TIL he. starting. cried. from his dream
awake,
"Oh, when shall see the dusIxy lake
And the white canoe of my dear?"
He saw the lake, and a meteor bright
Quick over its surface played.
welcome he said, my dear ones

And the dim shore echoed for many
night
The name of the death cold maid.
TIL he followed a boat of the bircheI
bark,
Which carried him off from shore
Far far he followed the meteor spark.
The wind was high, and the clouds Were
dark,
And the boat returned no more.
But oft from the Indian hunters camp
This lover and maid so true
Are seen at the hour of the midnight
damp
To cross the lake by FREELY lamp
And paddle their own canoe.

Dead Sea Stiffness.

The Dead sea is vast lake about
nine hours ride from Jerusalem. The
waters Of the lake. save for an almost
imperceptible ripple, are quite still and
tolerably transparent, but salt and "bit-
ter beyond bitterness" and so buoyant
that one can float upon them like n
cork, and to swim it is only necessary
to move the hands. The surrounding
scenery is dreary in the extreme and in
parts singularly grand. But the still
ness is oppressive and depressing. for
there is no sound of animal life or
song of bird ever heard on the lonely
shores of the famous lake

The Custom From Which All Fools
Day Takes Its Name.


Day Takes Its Name.
Most people call April / all fools
DAY, whereas it should be audi. e..
old fools day. The appellation prob
ably takes its origin from the follow
Ing superstition:
In druidical times. between 10 and
Il o'clock on the night Of April 1, it
was customary for all those young
women who dared to venture into a
sacred grove and to take their stand
one behind the other.
AT the hooting Of an owl they COM
menced slowly running round and
round, to the accompaniment Of such
words as these:
Ban-man. ban-man,
From berg. bach and ley.
Leap high, leap low.
Come and run with me.
Thereupon. side by side with those
or the girls destined to be married
within the coming year, the phantom
OF ban, or white man, appeared, and
II any OF the girls were going to die
within the year black man was seen.
once while this ceremony was in
progress the spirit of a very old, totter-
ing white man put in an appearance and
exhibited such emphatic attention to
the girl he ran with that the other per-
formers were much amused.
The object of their amusement was
subsequently chaffed to such an extent
by every one in the village that she
lied from the neighborhood. marrying
before the year was out strange
chieftain old enough to be her grand
father.

WEIGHING THE BABY.


"Y row many pounds does the baby
II BABY ssss who came but a month
How many pounds from the
browning curl
To the rosy point OF the restless toe7"
Grandfather ties the kerchief knot,
Tenderly guides the swinging weight
And carefully over his glasses peers
To read the record. only eight"
Nobody weighed the baby's smile
Or the love that came with the helpless
one;
Nobody weighed the threads of care
From which a woman's life is SPUN
No index tells the mighty worth
or a little baby's quiet breath,
A soft unceaSing metronome
Patient and faithful until death.
Nobody weighed the baby's soul.
For here on earth no weights there be
That could avail. God only knows
Its value in eternity.
Only eight pounds to hold a soul
That seeks no angels silver wing,
But shrines it in this human guise,
Within so frail and small a thing!
Oh. mother. laugh your merry note!
Be gay and glad. but don't forget
From baby's ewes looks out n soul
That claims a home in Eden yet.

TRUE GIVING.

HAT Is no true aims which tho

He gives nothing but worthless

Who gives from sense OF duty
But he who gives but slender mite
And gives to that which is out OF sight,
Thot thread OF the all sustaining beauty
Which runs through all and doth all unite,
Tho hand cannot clasp tho whole OF his
aims.
The heart outstretches its eager palms,
For god goes with II and makes II store
To the soul that was starving in darkness
before.

Providing that radium is one day

Is discovered by scientists, he calcu-
lates that an aeroplane weighing a
ton should be able to cover the 238, 800
miles which separate the earth and

About 800 pounds of radium would
be necessary to provide the fuel for
the journey. At the current price,

Quired.
