"One sunme l CHANGED to be back
In the ridges Of Tennessee" said
United States Senator Blair Lee OF
Maryland, as he leaned back in his
chair, land a couple Of mountaineers
got into an argument. High words
led to blows, and one Of the men was
killed. One Of the party volunteered
to ride or ahead to the dead mans
cabin and break the news to the
widow.
She was seated at a table eating
apple-dumplings when the man rode
up. He broke the news as gently "a
possible. The woman listened quietly
with a dumping poised in the air half
way to her mouth. When the man had
finished, she stuffed the dumping into
her mouth and said:
"'You-all jest wait till I finish this

Prisoners Escape.

When. at Gaines Mill in 1862. the
Fifth Texas captured two whole regi-
ments of Union soldiers. the exams
were all very proud of their achieve
ment. One OF them has described an
amusing scene in connection with the
surrender.
When the Union officers gave mp
their swords to Colonel Upton they
were SO prompt In the duty that no
was compelled to lay down the frying
pan which he carried in place OF Q
sword and hold the weapons presented
In his arms.
Just then he noticed a commotion AZ
the far end Of the captured regiments.
That was rear the timber. and a squad

LOST CANADIAN GOLD MINE
the Ner4h Relates story
ho Heard.

Edmonton, Canada.-Headed by
Bishop Lucas, who has had % years
experience in the Anglican mission
fields of the North, and Archdeacon
Whitaker, a close second with IS
years in the same field. a party Of ten
have left Edmonton for the North.
Archdeacon Whitaker relates a re-.
markable story of a lost gold mine be-
tween Fort Mcpherson and Herschel
island. According to Mr.. Whitaker ira
dition says that a great number OF
year, ago a party of nine men, n of
them an old C. p. r. surveyor, found q
gold mine which was stated to be Of
fabulous value among the mountains
in that vicinity. They made elaborate
geographical notes SO that they would
be able to find it again, and then re-
turned with the object of making the
necessary arrangements to work the
mine.
On the way out, each OF them heav-
lily laden with the precious metal. pro-
visions ran short and seven died. The
two survivors OF the party organized
another party. but the geographical
calculations were lost in the meantime
and all attempts to locate the mine
ended in failure.

admitted. She's been poking around

Wright had discussed the affair
with DR.. Norton and had also told Ar
thur Morrison what little he knew.
This was the first intimation coming
from the ring that they even knew of
the occurrence. The newspaper man
was curious to know the ring version
OF 1t. DR.. Hayes remark afforded him
the opportunity to approach the mat
ter cautiously.
What was Mrs. Hayes connection
with that-ah-little episode?" he
asked. Il gathered from DR.. Norton
that in some way or other she knew
something about It."
DR.. Hayes stared at him in amaze
ment. Miss Kerr had never uttered a
word, yet he readily believed, as did
the others, that both Wright and she
were the only ones who could tell the
story. The woman in whose room they
had been found was still in a d~elirious
condition at the city hospital and
nothing could be learned from her.
Although Kerr had ordered the police
to bring in Ryan and Kelly. the search
had been unsuccessful.

Wright shook his head. His visitors

his infeld last season, substituting
Phelan and Corriden for himself and
Bridwen when left-hander opposed
the Cubs.
Few managers have been success
full with the shifting attack, but
George StaIlings has employed it with
good results this season, and the abil-
ity of these two groups Of gardeners
has been in large measure responsible
for the successful rush of the Braves.
Gather, Whitfield and Mann form a
good combination for use against
southpaws. From Moran. Devore,
Connolly and Gilbert, Stallings can
pick three men who swing from the
off-side Of the plate to the detriment
of pitchers who use their right arms
to earn their salaries.
Mann is used frequently against
both styles Of beavers; as he can cope
with the right-handers better than
any Of the others. And he is a great
defensive fielder.
In Mondays game started by Law
ender, a Highlander, Connolly was
in left for the Braves, Mann in center
and Moran in right. That gave Stall
ings two left-swinging outfelders.
Moran soaked two singles and Con-
molly pasted homer and double. All
four swats counted in the scoring.
Yesterday, with Vaughn pitching,
Moran and Connolly were benched
and Whitfield and Gather took their re-
spective places. Did the system work?
Well, Whitfield got one single and
Gather two. One of the latter's wal
lops was wasted, but the other two
swats were stuck into the fifth frame,
when the Braves scored two.
The best test Of a system is its
success. And StaIings seems to be
having great success with his switch
ing. Of course, it must be taken into
consideration that both sets are cap
able. 1t wouldn't be possible with
mediocre material.

What are they made off" asked the young bear.
 'The bow is made of wood," the old bear said, "and the string is made from the skin of some animal"
 So they all started out to make some bows and arrows. One bear got stout piece of locust wood and bent it in the shape of bow. Another bear let his friends cut a hole in his side and take out a piece of his inner skin to make the string. And when the bow was all ready some arrows were cut and trimmed and pointed and hardened.
 Now let me try the first shot," said the young bear, for he had never seen bow and he was very curious about it. So, one of the bears set up a mark against tree and the young bear put an arrow against the string and drew back. But when he tried to let go, his long claws caught and held to the string and spoiled the shot.
 That will never dol" said the old bear.
 "Cut of the young bears claws, and then he will be able to hit the mark" said mamma bear, who had left her cooking fire to watch the trial. They all thought that was good idea, and after the young bear had his claws clipped, sure enough he hit the mark. They were about the clip of the. claws of another one of the bears when the oldest and wisest bear said:
 we must not clip off our claws! If we do, how shall we ever climb trees for the nuts and the blackhaw berries we eat? We shall starve, and that would be worse than it is now. Al ready one of us has died to give up his skin for bow string, and that is enough!"
 So the bears had to give up the bow and arrow; and because they once planned to make war on man, the bear hunter does rot have to beg the bear to forgive him when he kills one of them.

 The Latin word cura means merely "care," a shade of meaning which is preserved in the derived term "cura- tor" An Italian physician was re- gently made to say, when his article was translated into English, q cured ten typhoid patients last month and six of them died" What he really said was that he had treated ten pa, tients.-From the Journal of the Amer ican Medical Association.
