HID DISGRACE FROM PARENTS
eessfuIIy Concealed the Fact That
They Had Done Time"

In most cases men sentenced to i'm
prisonment are only too glad to re-
ceive the sympathy of their relatives.
The case of Nolan L. Gartner. an ex-
convict who returned to Kingston. o..
the other day after serving two-year
sentence for wrecking q bank. Is an
exception. During all the time he
was in prison his mother. eighty-six
years Of age. had supposed he was 'in
the west on business" She greeted
him with smiles on his liberation. lit
tie thinking that the weekly letters
she had received from him telling of
business movements were mailed from
prison through the friendly assis-
lance Of the officials.
Another case was that of Adolph
Rebstock. an immigrant who killed q
man In a quarrel at Chicago shortly
after his arrival in this country. He
received a sentence of ten years. He
gave a cousin $4,000 for investment
when he went behind the bars.
The cousin opened a corner grocery
store In the name of the convict. The
latter wrote monthly to his parents In
Berlin that he was prospecting slowly.

New Industry In Mississippi.

The advent of the Mexican cotton
boil weevil has caused at least one
new industry to spring up in Pike
county, namely. the gathering, drying.
grinding and shipping leaves Of the
sassafras tree to be used as an article
of commerce. The product is known
as ''file," and seven barrels of 1t, az.
gregating $50 pounds. were shipped
to New Orleans from here recently by
F. ". Allen, a progressive farmer, re-
siding seven miles east of Magnolia.
Mr.. Allen has a mill made specially
for grinding ''file," and he shipped 4
small quantity of 1t last year. While
the article is used extensively in the
preparation of "gumbo f1le," the de-
liciOus soup which has made French
cooking famous, the demand for It
is very limited. The leaves are gath
cred In July and August, and are thor
oughly dried in the shade before being
carried to the mill. 1t requires about
thrae hundred pounds Of green leaves
to make one hundred pounds Of meal.

STILL USE HORSE AND WAGON
Transportation Methods Of Old Days
Yet Employed by Majority OF
Mankind.

The history of highway transporta-
ton since the days of the Roman EN-.
pire exhibits few phases and great
turning points which have marked
new eras in progress. in efficiency, in
conveniences or economy. Historians
Of transportation tell us that mans
FIRST land vehicle was a boatlike struc-
ture without wheels, which was pulled
by sheer brute strength, first by man
and then by animals which he sub
jugated. the OK, horse and mule. The
next step in land transportation was
by means of crude rollers. which were
clipped underneath the vehicle very
much on the order of the rollers which
we see In use in moving small build
ings short distances.
When the revolving wheel was ap-
piled to vehicles a great impetus was
given to highway transportation and
for 1000 years at least, until very re-
oently. highway transportation saw
very little change or improvement.
says the Engineering Magazine.
II We carefully compare the methods
Of highway transportation in the days
Of the Roman empire and the year
1912 we find that the greater percen-
tage Of the world Is still using the
horse and wagon very much after the
fashion of the Romans; We see no
great evolution in highway transpor-
tation parelleling the wonderful ad.
vance that has been made in power
transportation by rail or trolley. The
delivery of our merchandise IL much
after the fashion of 5000 years ago.
