The Drunkard's Cloak.

One of the quaint instruments OF
torture in England in olden time was
a device known as the drunkard,s S
cloak. 1t was made of wood and IN
shape resembled a huge inverted
fowerpot. Through the small cir
cular aperture in the top was thrust
the neck of the imprisoned inebrlate.
The weight Of this ancient counter
part of the straitjacket fell on the
victims shoulders and was sufficient
to make every bone in his body ache.
With his hands practically pinned
to his sides and the garment reaching
almost to the ground the only motion
allowed him was slow shuttle of his
weary feet as he dragged his way
painfully along. One can we'll be-
lieve that any one who had been COM
PEELED to don the drunkard's cloak
would be very apt to come to the
conclusion that a high old time was
not worth having at the price.

Lynched for killing Woman.

Houston, Miss, Feb. 7.-AndreW
Williams, aged 95, negro, was
lynched by a mob here early to- day.
Williams is suspected of having
murdered Mrs. John G. Williams,
wife of the deputy chancery clerk OF
this county, who was found dead in
her home here yesterday. Her body
was found in an abandoned pit under
the house.
Robbery is believed to have been
the motive for the crime as a dia-
mond ring which Mrs. Williams wore
was missing.
When the mob attempted to take
Williams from the jail, where he was
confined, he offered desperate resist
ance, but was finally dragged from
the building and lynched to tree
nearby. The negro refused to make
a confession.
The lynching came after admls-
sions by two negro women who told
a number of citizens in the presence
of the local authorities they had seen
him enter the Williams home.

claimed Mrs. John McCarron to-day
when'she rushed from the kitchen to
investigate a crash in the front part
of her home and found team OF
draught horses tramping on the par
lor carpet.
The team had run away and the
front of the frame dwelling of the Nc
Carrons had offered but slight resist
ance to their maddened impact. All
that kept the horses from continuing
through the place was the beer wag-
on to which they were attached and
which caught in the wreckage of the
preached wall.

Modern Rifle Wounds.

Wounding an enemy in war is bet
ter than killing him, for unless he is
captured it imposes on his side the
burden OF taking care of him, says
Popular Mechanics. The Balkan
war has again proved that the bullet
of the modern high-power rifle with
it's terrific speed will go straight
through a man, penetrating the most
vital organs, without killing him.;
and it has even been found to go
through from four to six men, one
behind the other. This puts them
cut of the fight, but at the same time
it is a good thing for the fighter, for
it gives him better chance for his
life.

dent of the United Male Garment
Workers of America, declared that by
Sunday a vote will be completed

TWO BABIES AND A WOODEN LEG
By Parcel Post-Nlail Carrier Battles

fired and the load took effect in the
head of little eight-year-old broth
er of the boy, blowing off the entire

the gun before placing it in the rack.

ABOUT 40 MILLION PACKAGES.
Parcel Post Business During Janu-
ary-Still Increasing.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Approxi-
mately 4O,OOO,O00 parcel post pack
ages were handled during January.
At the fifty largest postoffices 49,
365,433 parcels were handled in the
first month of the operation of the
new system and the business OF
the last two weeks exceeded that OF
the first two weeks by more than five
million packages.
, Chicago exceeded all other cities
in the number of parcels handled, its
total being 4,163,153. New York
handled 3,519,7SS; Atlanta, 1884,
900; St. Paul, 1S1, 1,056; New Or

Louisville, 114,O76; Richmond, 1OO,-
900; Nashville, 69,27O; Jacksonville,
42,963.
The present season is the dull one
in postofice business, but even II
there should be no increase in the
parcel post work about 500,000,OO0
would be handled during the first
year. Some postmasters estimate the
first years total will be one billion
packages.
From the more remote sections of
the country, postmasters report mer-
chants are preparing to extend
their fields to the rural districts
through the new system, and farmers
are preparing to send products to
cities and towns upon the opening
of the spring season.
