Band Saws Freak.

When q band saw in a st. Louis
plant broke the other day, the acct
dent was marked by peculiar fea,
lures. AS the saw was cutting
through a large log 1t came across
a spike that was imbedded in the
wood, and as the band was travelling
at immense speed when it snapped
one end of it broke off and passed
through the log as if shot from q
cannon. This part was eight feet in
length and half Of it projected and
as it came out in a curve, it is to be
surmised that the other half remains
coiled in the log in the same form
The occurrence was no less unusual
than remarkable.

May passed and under the lustrous
stars of a June night twinkled the
warmer lights of the little village.
They shone brightest of all in the
little house Of Randolph Bullet,
where candles blazed in their silver
sconces and lit up a waxen floor. His
wife, the grandniece of Lord Corn
wallis of England, was holding open
house. Above the chatter and laugh
ter a Creole violin lifted the foolish
air of the French voyageur, that had
6oated across the star-glimmering wa

than if he remained in the street.
And this he did.
When he had crawled soundlessly
back into the smithy. kicking off his
shoes outside, he was just in time to
see the door opened and the figure of
the first man, Girty, family outlined
in the aperture. Unseen, unheard,
David stole forward. Then the door
opened wider to allow the heavy hg-
ure of Cranmer to emerge. And then
Scull. the third man. went out. With
the quickness of death, David glided
at his heels.
He had picked up a heavy horse
shoe On the floor of the smithy, the
first weapon that had come to hand.
The tall figure was just before him.
His arm rose; and even as the heavy
weapon hung in the air, Scull pushed
open the door of a cabin that stood
next the smithy and vanished.
David heard the door close again
and the heavy wooden bar dropped
across It on the inside. Fol q mo-
ment he stood dumfounded. Girty
and Cranmer had disappeared. David
walked on slowly, brooding over plans
for the morning, and found himself at
the river, talking to itself in the night.
He became aware that he still held
something in his hand; and looking
down, beheld the horseshoe. He
tossed it into the stream and went
back to the tavern.
For many days after that his rag
ged, discarded shoes lay unnoticed at
the low aperture of Israels smithy.
David awoke in the morning as
fresh as the day. But day brought
with it the demand that he take up
his new work; and he crossed the
square to Colonel Posey's store. seam
ming the village sharply as he went.
He hurried to the cabin by the
blacksmith's shop. An honest-faced
woman, with a brood of babies cling

49 PRISONERS
TO Be GIVEN
THEIR LIBERTY

Tallahassee, Aug. 25.-During the
month of September, forty-nine state
prisoners, located at different points
in Florida, including the state prison
farm at Raiford, will be given their
liberty, their terms of various lengths
having expired.
There are in Florida today total
of 1929 prisoners Of both sexes and
races; 297 of these are white. There
are 619 prisoners at Raiford, 367 OF
whom are negro males, 81 negro wom-
en-, and the others are white men.
No women of either color, or white
men are leased to private parties or
to the counties.
Eight hundred and ten of the state
convicts are now leased to private
lesses. Two hundred and nine are
working on the county roads
There is not enough work at the
Raiford state farm now to keep all
of the state prisoners employed, so
some of them have to be leased to the
counties and to private parties, but 1t
is expected that by the time the pres
ent leases expire two years hence the
farm will have been so developed and
enlarged as to take care of all the
prisoners except those who will be
used on the county roads. Additional
Legislation at the next session Of the
legislature will be necessary, however.
in order to effect complete abolition
of the convict lease system, because
under some administration many
years in the future II might be claimed
that ten men were sufficient to run he
farm. In that event the others could
be leased.
The members of the cabinet be-
lieve that the farm, of which they
are all so proud. will be entirely self
sustaining and capable Of taking care
of all the states prisoners with the
exception of those wanted by the va
rious counties on their roads, at the
end OF the next two years.

SCATTERS HUSBANDS ASHES
AS SHE CROSSES ATLANTIC

Greenville, Miss, Aug. 5.-Mrs.
George Starr, who was born at Eliz-
abeth, Miss, near here, but who for
many years has resided at Liverpool,
England, where she married, has re-
turned home after scattering her
husbands ashes to the four winds on
the Atlantic ocean.
Mr.. Star died ten months ago. Be-
fore his death, he requested his wife
to scatter his ashes to the winds. She
was about to comply with his last
request in England, but found there
was a statute against the cere-
monies. So she kept the ashes, in
tending to bring them to America
with her, but while on the ocean
she felt the request OF her departed
husband must be fulfilled. Here is
her story:
"He was a Free Mason of the 32d
degree. He did not want to be bur
led or have any funeral ceremonies.
He wanted me to cast his ashes to
the four winds. These we're his last
words. But after had had the body
cremated. / found that the law would
not allow me to carry out his wish.

ashes in the catacombs of Norwood
cemetery. near the Crystal Palace
in London, and kept them there un
til the day before I left England
three weeks ago.

which succeeded better than they
anticipated.
A certain young man of Tampa

vited by another man to go out for
joy ride with two young wives
whose husbands were supposed to be
out of town. They were met on the
road by another car in which were
the supposed husbands who held
them up and opened fire with blank
cartridges.
The ladies' man" took to the
woods and nearly ran himself to
death. II was for him the officers
of two counties were searching, the
report being sent out by the prac-
tical jokers that there was dead
man in the woods. for they did not
know but that the poor boob had
run himself to death. When he was
found he had covered twelve miles
through underbrush and palmetto
and had separated himself from most
