Was never HELD
IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Report Stated that Convict
at Bismarck was Con6n-
ed at Sioux Falls.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. IA Min
neapolis paper recently published an
item under a Deadwood date line to
the effect that Tom Carberry. who
is now in the penitentiary at this
place was an escaped convict from
the South Dakota prison at Sioux
Falls.
Both Mr.. Carberry and his friends
deny this statement stoutly and have
attempted to- run down the origin of
1t seems that several years ago a
man by the name Of Carberry killed
a mar in Deadwood and someone ev-
identity mistook, Tom for the murder
er. There was q man by the name Of
Pat Carberry In the South Dakota
prison, but he Is not the man refer
red. and what is more, he was par
doned.
In an endeavor to trace the origin
of the report, also to clear up the
matter SO far as Tom Carberry Is
concerned, J. w. Murphy, of the war
denis Office Of the local prison, wrote
the warden at Sioux Falls, who de-
MED that any man by the name Of
Thomas Carberry had ver been in
that prison.
Tom Carberry was sent to the local
prison on a 30-year sentence, having
been charged with the killing of O.
sheep herder, Tom Corcoran. A man
by the name of Glass was also sent
to this prison with Carberry on the
charge of being implicated. The
friends of Carberry deny that he had
anything to do with the murder, and
further that he was ~railroaded to
prison because he had no money for
defense. 1t Is understood that a
move is on foot for the pardon Of
Carberry, his friends claiming that
they will be able to produce evidence
to show that he is innocent. How
ever this may be, it is proven con
clusively that the Tom Carberry who
is here is not the. party referred to
in the article above mentioned.

Soon Peter Rabbit Began to Receive
Callers Who Wanted to Hear
the Story.

the Green Forest. Peter knew by. that
that she didn't believe a word of It,
but he was too tired and sleepy. to ar
que with her then. so he settled him
self comfortably for a nice long nap.
When Peter awoke the first thing
he thought Of was the terrible crea-
ture he had seen in the Green Forest.
more impossible it seemed. and he
didn't wonder that Mrs. Peter had
advised him not to repeat. 1t.
"I won't" said Peter to himself. e,
won't repeat 1t to a soul. No one will
believe it. The truth is, I can hardly
believe it myself. Ill Just keep my
tongue STILL"
But. unfortunately for Peter, one of
the Merry Little Breezes of Old Moth
story to Mrs. Peter. and 1t was such
a wonderful and curious and unbeliev-
able story that the Merry Little
Breeze etraightway repeated it to
everybody he met, and soon Peter
Rabbit began to receive callers who
wanted to hear the story all owe
again from Peter himself. SO Peter
was obliged to repeat ever SO many
times, and e time it sounded to
to tell 1t to Jimmy Skunk and to
Johnny Chuck and to Danny Meadow
Mouse and to Digger the Badger and
to Sammy Jay and to Blacky the Crow
and to Striped Chipmunk ana to
Happy Jack Squirrel and to Bobby
Coon and to Unc' Billy Postum and
to Old Mr.. Toad.
Now, strange to say, no one laugh
ed at Peter, Queer as the story sound
ed. You see, they all remembered
how they had laughed at him and
made fun Of him when he told about
the great footprints he had found
deep in the Green Forest and how,
later, 1t had been proved that he real
ly did see them, for they were made
by Buster Bear, who had come down
from the Great Woods to live in the
Green Forest. I told you So"
Then 1t had been Peters turn to
laugh at them. So now Impossible as
this new story sounded, they did not
dare laugh at 1t.
II never heard Of such a creature"
said Jimmy Skunk, "and I can't quite
believe that there Is such a one: but
1t is very clear to me that Peter has
seen something strange. You know
the old saying that he laughs best who
laughs last. and I'm not going to give
Peter another chance to have the last
laugh and say I told you So"
That is very true" replied Old Mr..
Toad, solernnly. Probably Peter has
seen something out OF 1.-THE ordinary.
and in his excitement he has exagRer-
1t. The thing Il do is to make
sure whether or not there is a strang-
er in the Green Forest. Peter: says

WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN SOCIETY
Be Careful What You Say.

I'm speaking of a persons faults,
Pray don't forget your own, \
Remember, those with home Of glass
Should seldom throw a stone.
If we had nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
IT'S better we commence at home 3
And from that point'begin.
I'VE have no right to Judge a mar
Until he's fairly tried:
Should we not like his company
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults-and who has
not?
The old as we'll as young
Perhaps we may, for ought we know,
Have fifty to their me-.
"Ill tell you of a better plan.
And find, it works full we'll,
To try my own defects to cure,
Before Of others tell.
And though I sometimes hope to be
No more than some ] know.
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults Of others go.
"Then let us, when we commence
To Islander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word would do
To those we little know.
Remember, curses sometimes X
Our chickens, 'roost at home:
Don't speak Of others faults until
We have hone of u own"

Once you start a story you cannot call

On, alack!
That is the reason you should al
ways be sure that a story you repeat

to have it travel on and on and on,
and will never want to call 1t back.
But If you tell a story that isn't true

back and cannot. You see, stories are
just like rivers-they run on and on
