who was arrested with other Demo.
Gratis Sunday on a charge Of confed-
Grating and banding together to de-
stroy public property. he said the
Republicans were so worried they
had telephoned Democratic State
headquarters that they would throw
out the 100 contested votes Of Nc
Creary county if the Democrats
would drop the investigation. In the
meantime his father and the others
purpose fighting the case through.
Mr.. Gesry said he was informed
that in five precincts the certificates
were raised thirty votes each, in one
twenty votes and in another te-; that
here we're evidences of erasures and
that the returns did not tally with
the stub book.
The Democratic Election Commits
sioner, w S. Gilreath, refused to
sign the certi6cation of the returns
for the county With these $50 votes
counted for the Republicans, Mr..
Geary said. In order to prevent any
one "doctoring" the stubbook and
ballots to conform to the returns
from the seven precincts, Demo-
Gratis undertook to keep an all night
vigil under the window of the Coun-
ty Clerks Office, and were standing
around a fire outside the building
when they were driven off by Re-
publicans. according to his story.

The Difference.

He loved his fellow men with a
deep, abiding, self sacrificing affec-
ton and wore off his excess adipos-
ity, ruined his eyesight and at last
caused himself to be inserted into an
untimely grave by digging deeply into
the why's and wherefOres Of life, seek
ing ways and means whereby he might
make those around him better and hap
pier, and everybody called him Old
Whats-his-name, laughed merrily at
his quaint, absentminded eccentricities
and rudely opined that his intellectual
belfry was infected with bats almost
as large as cOndors, the while they re-
spectfully designated as professor a
low proved, wedge shaped man who
made a business Of smiling Indifferent
ly while fifty pound rock was smash
ed on his constitution with sledge

EIizabethan Dyes.

So far back as the days of Elizabeth
concerted measures were taken to i'm
prove the dyes employed in England.
In 1859 a dyer named Morgan Hubble
thOrne was sent to Persia, ito the end
that the arte Of dyeing may be brought
into the realme in the greatest excel
lency, for thereof will follow honour
to the realme and great and ample
vent Of our clothes" He was instruct
ed to "have knowledge of all the ma
terials that may be used in dyeing, be
they hearbs, weeds, barks, gummes,
earths or what els soever. 80 If any
dyer of China be found in Persia, ac-
quainte yourself with him and learne
what you may Of him. Set downe in
writing whatsoever you shall learne
from day to day, lest you forget or lest
God should call you; that come life or
death, your country may enjoy the
thing that you go for."-London Mir

NAPOLEON Had Nine Lives.

The surrender of Napoleon to the
captain of the BellerophOn, when that
event became known in England, was
discredited by many, for at least eight
times previously he had been reported
dead. The list of his deaths published
in a contemporary journal is interest
ing. He lost the first Of his nine lives
in a battle on the Dnieper, where he
received five mortal wounds, and ex-
pired as he gave his sword to Prince
Kutusoff." Later he was twice drown
ed, once while crossing the Mosqua"
and again In Moscow, where he lost
his way and fell into a reservoir"
During the retreat from Moscow he
was suffocated in his tent and few
days later buried 5000 fathoms deep
in a fall of snow. Finally he reached
Paris, where his exasperated subjects
Immediately lynched him. These were
some Of the many fables concerning
Napoleon which found their way into
the newspapers a century ago.-West-

Heart Instead of Fist.

Praise a boy for his good deeds rath-
er than spank him for his bad ones.
Many a parent has tried it, with sue
cessful results, as we'll as pleasant
ones for the boy.
Hardheaded business has made a
similar discovery. A Pennsylvania
railroad superintendent found that
posting in public places the faults of
his employees failed to reduce the
number of delinquencies
"I'll try new game" he said. The
failures shall keep to myself. but the
particularly good bits of work done by
the men 1 shall paste upon bulletin
board where all may read"
And the result of this scheme of
heart instead of fist? A quick drop of
two-thirds in the number of men who
required discipline. That was pure
gain, and a big one, for the railroad
but the men profted even more. There
was a decrease of more than 70 per
cent in loss of wages through suspen-
sions.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Watch Your Step,

Science can tell what sort of a per
son you are from your step. Physi-
clans diagnose locomotor ataXia, pare
sis, palsy, lumbago and other diseases
by the gait. One expert says:
watch the man who drags his feet
along as if it were an effort. He
would be the first into lifeboat from
a sinking ship because he has no heart.
The woman with the dragging feet is a
wilmer.
watch the woman who hurries
along as if she were anxious to part
company with the pavement. Her
steps are quick and snappy. She has
plenty Of vim.
when you see a woman planting
her feet firmly on the ground and
walking with a free swing you may
be sure she is wholesome, to be de-
pended upon and capable. She will be
your friend on rainy days just as much
as or more than when the sun shines. "

PROVING the Proposition.

A young real estate man met an &C
quaintance Of his wife who was in the
lumber business Monday afternoon.
After greetings the real estater said
to the wood salesman, just to make
conversation. "Well, how's the lumber
business"
II don't know. The fact is l resign
ed from my job Saturday"
SIS that so? Didn't you like the
work?"
"Well, l liked it pretty we'll"
Wasn't the salary big enough?'
"Well, it was a pretty good salary.
But the boss insulted me-"
Huh! How did he insult you"
'He said I was a fool"
"And you quit just for that? Didn't
get fired or requested to resign? The
boss called you a fool and you up and
left a good jobY'
"Yes."

The InvincibIe Yequi.

Against all assaults upon his strong
hold the Yaqui Indian Of Mexico has
proved invincible. For more than q
century relentless war has been waged
against him by the Mexicans, but they
have neither subdued him nor tanned
him, and as for conquering him, that
it is generally admitted, will come only
with his determination. In the cam
paigns against him the Yaquis most
effective weapon is the poisoned ar
row. His bow is made of black palm
wood, and the arrows are long, sharp
and so poisoned as to cause certain but
not immediate death. Horrible suffer
ing follows a scratch from the point
the victim dying in from three to sew
en- days. No antidote has been discov-
cred, although the Yaquis themselves
possess the secret of one.-Boston Her

Some interesting facts concerning the

aiIs.

A nail is a common article of manu-
facture which is turned out by thou
sands every hour in the factory and is
always absent in every household
when it is most needed. Every house
is full Of nails. The walls bristle with
them. The floors and ceilings are full
Of them. But il you need one to drive
into a wall or to help dispatch box
going by express you might as well
look for gold nugget in an ash heap.
When by some miracle a nail permits
itself to be discovered it is always
crooked. The art of placing it on your
wife's best mahogany table and
strengthening it out with a poker in
place of the hammer you cannot locate
is an art yet in its infancy. Some cen
turtles hence it may reach a develop
ment hitherto undreamed of.-Life.

With exhibitions and catalogues of
artificial limbs now brought to notice
one gets to calculating the cost of a
reconstructed man. Seemingly little
more than $500 would suffice. A pair
of artificial legs costs about $3.50 and a
pair Of arms about 500. Ears, with
drums, ETC., cost $75 each; eyes $50 a
pair, and so on. Without heart and

the Mediterranean off the Spanish
coast ITO miles south of Barcelona.
The Verona was scheduled to sail
from Genoa November 8, touching at
Naples November 10 and Palermo No

No word of her sailing, however, has
been received.
Latitude 49, longitude 6, is a point
