Conductor Is r obbed
Of Clothes In Woods

The real September Morn was dis
covered at two thirty o'clock Sunday
morning by Chief of Police P. D.
Champion of GAINESVILLE. This male rep
re sentative of beauty unadorned, with
out semblance of clothes, was taken
by Chief Champion to the city hall in
barrel and all agreed that the exhibit
surpassed the act of "Rosy" Killmer
in the Nonesuch parade, says the James
vile Gazette.
The story told by the man, who is
freight train conductor on railroad
running out of GAINESVILLE, was that
four men in an automobile shanghaied
him at The Five Points crossing about
8 o'clock Saturday evening. In the
auto the two men in the back seats
tore a piece from his shirt for a gag
and blind. The story goes that all four
were blindfolded. While in this en-
barassing position the pirates spirited
him to lonely spot two miles from
the city limits on the river banks.
Here they unloaded the victim and
after ducking him twice in the cold
water, stripped him of every stitch of
clothes, tore them up and threw the
clothing, twelve dollars pocket money
and thirty-ive dollar watch into the
river. After another ducking the
four men left their victim in his Sep
TENDER Morn costume. There being no
barrel handy or even fig leaf, like
Eve wore, the conductor waited until
dusk, which at least would partially
hide his shame.
Starting down the railroad tracks
the conductor met two couples, who
fled up the entertainments, thinking
that wild man had escaped from the
asylum It was hard walking down the
stony road bed and the night air was
very chilly, but the uppermost thought
on the conductors mind was
clothes. Arriving at the Croak s
brewery the man explained his predi-
cement and a S. o. S. (saye, oh save)
call was sent to the police station,
Chief Champion, thinking that an intox-
icated man was causing the trouble
took the police buggy and went to the
brewery. Here he found the conductor,
attired with only ring, and a barrel
was finally hunted up to serve as pro-
lection for the poor conductor,
Fellow trainmen came to the rescue
and the conductor was provided with
what he deemed the most necessary
thing. in life-c .othes.
After being QUILTED the conductor
left on his freight train, which was held
over for him. How much of the story
to believe the police are in doubt, but
many of the officers have drawn their
own conclusions, but all agree that it
was an expensive experience for the
conductor and wonder if the clothes left
behind fitted the finder.

Why Hair Turns White.

Discussing the whitening of the hair, the Journal of :he American Medical association remarks incidentally that why the beard grows anew after cut ting or shaving is not known, nor why t grows more rapidly in summer than in winter. The real reason for the eilvery gray appearance of tbe hair in aging persons Is not because the phagocytes discovered by Doctor Metchnikoff have eaten the pigment, but because a new hair coat has formed, like the seasonal coat of ani- mals which assume different colors 1t is not true that ones hair can grow white in single night; despite the myths of Marie Antoinette and the prisoner of Chiffon. there Is not a sin gle authenticated case of this in his tory.

VERIFIED GOOD OLD SAYING
Husbands Experience Surely Proved That "Absence Makes the
 Heart Crow Ponder"

In the American Magazine a hus. band, who has been married 9 years, tells the story of his expert ences. He vm mments as follows. oa the first partias that he and his wife endured:
 A married man is a strange crea- ture. I dreaded seeing my wife go: : huge sigh of relief when the train started. and before it was mile out of the city I was holding a reunion with two old Chums in a barroom and feeling as if just out of jail For three days and nights held reunions. tho time in barrooms; played poker: stayed up almost all night and had . glorious time" Then l commenced to wander around town like 8 stray oct. and to go to our lonely apart ment and have the blues, imagining that my wife was going to die. that she did not love me. Then would read and smoke until late hours.
 Oa the tenth day I begged tho man. ag@ for two days otf and rushed awNy to sec my wife. She was in bed, recovering from the shock of a minor operation. It was wonderful reunion: told her all had done and how lonely l had been. and held her hands and kissed her. and ate my meals on her tray. refusing to leave her even to eat with the other mem. bers of the family. It seemed as If could not bear to be out of the room and she wanted me always in her sight.

First leadina Article.

May l2 seems ah important anniver. sary for the newspaper world, because some consider that on that date, in l19I. the Morning Chronicle first brought into being the leading article. Il was merely short paragraph, which stated that the great and firm tody of the Whigs of England true to their principles. had decided in favor of Mir. Fox as the representative of the pure doctrines of Whiggery," and suggesting ss result that Burke should retire from the house of com mons. This paragraph was published in the part cf the Morning Chronicle where leading articles afterwards ap- peared, and for that reason Is reckoned the forerunner of editorial comments on the topics of the day.
