GARNER TAKEN BACK.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. p. - Sheriff
Simmons, of Franklinton, La, came
to Jackson last night to take j. H.
Garner, alleged forger and bigamist,
to Franklinton to stand trial on forg-
cry charges. He left with the pris-
oner this morning for Franklinton.
Garner has been in jail here several
weeks, following his arrest when his
last wife, formerly Miss Laura Bates,
of Marshall, Ark. said that she had
discovered her husband had more
than one wife. A brother of Garner
claimed that he was insane, but a
lunacy commission declared him sane
last Saturday. After the verdict was
rendered Gov. Brewer granted the re-
QUESTION of Gov Hall for Garner, who
told the police that he would rather
go anywhert than to Louisiana.

and the prince fell to the floor which,
of course, released the princess or
rather the lion.
1t did not take a second for the
princess TO resume her own form, and
the witch pointed to her with her cane
and told the prince to behold his bride
safe and ready to marry him.
What does this mean" asked the
prince, jumping to his feet and look
ing at the frightened princess, who
was still trembling with fright ~
But the princess was too upset from
her narrow escape to reply, SO the old
witch told the prince the story of the
magic power, land when I heard she
was to be married this night" said the
witch, Il came as fast as | could,
thinking she might be tempted to play
trick at the wedding and come to
harm"
Il do not want a wife that can
change as quickly as that from sweet
girl to a beast, or, in fact, that will
change at all, so l will leave you to
your magic power. and you can play
tricks on some one else,'' and with
these words the prince started-for the
door, and would have gone ont if the
witch had not stopped him. The prin-
cess tainted when she heard what the
prince said and the old witch told him
to wait and hear what she had to say
when she revived.
When the princess opened her eyes
she looked at the prince and said: Il
was foolish to ask for such power: |
had no thought of harm coming from
my jokes, and | never will do such
things again, and l ask the witch to
take this power from me-"
1T is gone already" replied the
witch; Il took it from you when you
changed to your own shape; you can
never again be anything but a prin-
cess"
will you forgive me, now?' asked
the princess.
If you will always be your own
sweet self, and never change, I will
forgive and marry YOU said the
prince.
So the guests were all brought back
and the wedding went on, and the
princess went away with the prince to

ENcE PROVES A LIFE
LESSON.

Say skunk Farm" to Max Figman
and his usual good nature wears thin
in certain places. BY judicious ques-
tioning you find that there are GER
tain very good reasons for this. Mr..
Figman is playing "Blackie Daw" in
Pathe's 1.-THE New Adventures of J..
Rufus Wallingford," a series based
upon George Randolph Chester's well
known stories. The pictures are be-
ing made at the Wharton Studios in
Ithaca, n Y, and one of them deals
with high finance as applied to skunk
farms.
To get the requisite local color it
was necessary to take the company
to Connecticut, where are located sew
eral examples of this infant and smell
ly industry. At first sight the COM
pany was enamored with the pretty
as innocent as so many kittens. The
scenes were taken and the players
were ready to depart. Mr.. Figman
leaned up against the wire netting of
one of the enclosures to have little
chat with the skunk farmer. Some
how or other one of the skunks got
peeved-result. a chorus of cuss
words and a strict quarantine against
the badly abused Mr.. Figman. AS

friend was impossible. r. is rumor-
ed that he made his way back to Itha-

But to go back to the fire dangers
it's really lots easier to go without a

to realize the wonderful gain in safety

they seem to have survived whole

it's long been the custom to have fire
works for Christmas. too. The Angus

against their indiscriminate use. Au-
gusta wants to save it's children's fin
gers in December as we'll as in July.
The world really does grow wiser
all the time. And when one sees the
ease with which a new bit of wisdom
takes hold of the public mind-a bit
like taking down the Keep Off the

ing big waste baskets and letting the
people in for picnics-a bit like abol-
ishing the careless use of fireworks

FUND FOR MOURNING.

| Hoboken, N. j., Dec 22.-Fifteen
Jersey City and Hoboken women will
take part tonight in the most unique
memorial that a woman ever arranged.
In accordance with the terms of the
will of Mrs. Auguste Pape of Hobo
ken, who died last month, the mem
bers of the Hoboken Pleasure Club
will tonight journey to New York as
a theatre party, hold a banquet in hon
or of their departed member, tour New
York in autos and have an all-around
good-time. 1t is all at the expense of
the departed member, who left $1,000
for the purpose. The members OF the
club have a good time on the money,
and if they are reminded of the cheer
full giver, they are not to mourn but
to give three cheers.
Mrs Pape, who made the odd pro-
vision in her will, was an ardent be-
lever in the pleasures of life. She
saw no sense in mourning, or in grue-J
some obsequies: and she therefore de-
cided to turn mourning into joy in her
own case When Mrs. Pape died, the
club attended in a body, and the mem
bers also attended her cremation, after
which they journeyed to the home of
another member and held a jolly
house party, in order to carry out the
intent of the departed.

FOR LITTLE
FOLKS
THE PRINCESS AND HER
MAGIC TRICK.

Once there was a princess who went
to an old witch who lived in a forest
and told her if she would bestow upon
her the power to change herself into
other shapes at her will, she would
give the old witch bag of gold and a
black cat.
The old witch was glad to have the
gold, and, of course, all witches love
black cats; SO size readily agreed to
do as the princess wished.
The princess did not wish this pow
er for any other reason than to play
tricks upon her friends and laugh at
them when they were frightened or
astonished; she was a jolly princess,
but she carried her joke too far, as
you will see.
One day there came to her fathers
house a prince to ask her hand i'll
marriage, and after the king had con-
scented and the princess had fallen in
love with her future husband she be-
gan to think of some trick she could
play upon him. She waited until the
night of the wedding, and just as the
guests were assembled and she stood
beside the prince waiting to be made
his wife, the princess played her joke.
She changed herself into a big lion
and opened her mouth wide. Of
course, all the guests saw the fierce
looking beast before the prince saw
it, and they screamed with fright and
fled from the palace.
But when the prince turned and saw
the creature standing beside him he
grabbed the lion by the throat and
held him fast,
Bring me hunting knife he said
Il can hold this animal and we will
make short work Of him, and then we
will see what has become of the ,prin-
cess.
The prince did not seem bit fright
ened, and, of course, the lion only had
the strength of the princess and was
not hard to hold
: But while the prince was holding
her the princess could not change to
her own form, and she began to trem-
BILE when the knife was brought, for
she thought her time had come.
But just at the moment when the
prince held the knife ready to strike
in hobbled the old witch, who had
given the power to the princess.
Hold" she cried. Would you kill
your bride?" she said to the prince.
But while the prince did not strike
he still held the lion fast by the
throat.
why should spare the life of this
brute. who has spoiled my wedding ?"
he asked. And what do you mean by
asking if would kill my bride? This
beast no doubt has made way with her,
and we have caught him; now he shall
die"
Again he raised the knife to strike
and the witch this time touched his
hand with her cane.
The knife dropped from his hand,
