White Man of Prominent Family Exc
cuted at Fl. Gaines. Negro UxOr-

FORT GAINES, Gal. E. Lind
sey was hanged here Friday in the
county Jail for the murder of his wife
last July.
Every effort had been made by his

the governor was sought to intervene,
but to no purpose.
Lindsey was fully resigned to his
fate. He went to the scaffold at
1:45, and in eight minutes the doc
tors pronounced life extinct.
Lindsey died strong in the hope OF
life eternal, confessing his crime, and
saving he had been fully forgiven;
and warning all persons to shun evil
associates.
Both Lindsey and his wife came
from some of the best people of Clay
county, and the awful tragedy great

CUT OFF HIS OWN FOOT
AND THUS SAVED HIS LIFE
Was Being Slowly Drawn Into the
Machinery of a Dredge.

Machinery of a Dredge.
1t was a case of losing his life or
his foot, and L. H. Beck, of Berke-
ley, Cal, president of the South Bay
Shell Co., did not hesitate to cut off
the foot with his pocket knife to save
himself the other day from being
drawn into the machinery of dredge
which he was operating.
After releasing himself he applied
a tourniquet and then directed his
transportation by launch and hand
car to the city.
When Beck's foot caught in the re-
volving machinery the workers on the
dredge lost their heads. Finding him
self being dragged slowly into the
machinery Beck realized, he said,
that his only chance was to help him
self, the workmen seemingly being
unable to help him.

Kills Kitchen Odors.

One of the most useful applications
of electricity about the household is
motor-driven exhaust fan for the kitch-
en-. Attempt to ventilate this room
by opening windows and doors is
bound to fail, especially in the winter
time Without ventilator the odors
from cooking will penetrate the entire
house and linger in the rooms long
after the meal itself is gone. The
motor-driven fan consists, as the
name suggests, of small motor at
tached to powerful fan in an upper
pane of window. near the range. The
device is mounted well toward the top
Of the room. The motor is attached
to the lighting circuit and provided
with a suitable snap switch for start
ing and stopping it. During the oper-
alton of cooking the switch is turned,
and the fan forces out steady stream
of air, carrying with it all smoke, gases
and Objectionable odors.

HAD BROUGHT PAS PRAYERS
Lad Conveyed Substantial Comforts
for the Family of the Af-
fIicted Pastor.

Once upon time sickness came to
the family Of the poorly paid pastor
Of a country church. 1t was winter,
and the pastor was in financial straits.
A number Of his flock decided to meet
at his house, and offer prayers for the
speedy recovery Of the sick ones and
for material blessings upon the pas
tors family. While one Of the dea-
cons was offering a fervent prayer for
blessings upon the pastors household
there was a loud knock at the door.
When the door was opened a stout
farmer boy was seen, wrapped up
comfortably. What do you want,
boy?" asked one Of the elders. I've
brought pas prayers" replied the boy.
Brought pas prayers? What do you
mean?" Yep, brought his prayers,
an they're out in the wagon. Just
help me, an we'll get 'em in In
vestigation disclosed the fact that
'.pas prayers" consisted Of potatoes,
flour, bacon, cornmeal, turnips, ap-
pies, warm clothing, and lot of jel-
lies for the sick ones. The prayer
meeting adjourned in short order

Where the Games of Yesteryear?

have wondered sometimes why the
boys in the town where live now new
er play marbles or spin tops. In the

gle game of marbles or once heard the
shrill request. Gimme peg at yours" -"
It is not strange that the slingshot has
vanished, for automobile tires use up
all the available rubber. But why
should tops and marbles vanish from
the earth? They have gone the way
of the delightful children's matinees
at the old Boston Museum, no doubt,
and the Kate Greenaway books, and
the jackstones little girls used to toss
by the hour, sitting on the front steps.

mo LONGER THE BooT3Ack
Day When That Implement Was In
Use Has Passed Away for All
the Time.

The other day gentleman with
pleasant recollections of old-time Gus
tom, habit and social usage in Ameri-
can life, wanted bootjack and tried
TO buy one, only to find that none
could be bought.
It was melancholy discovery for a
man whose memory of other customs
was lively and loving and indicated
that the whole picture Of American
life had changed. If the bootjacks
have gone, the boots must have, and
if the boots have then whole range
of outdoor activities have disappeared.
To see a bootjack would bring them
all back, the rustic or semirustic activ-
tiles of the little American communl-
ties in which the day was begun by
getting up in the cold and building a
fire and was ended by getting the boot
jack and dragging tightly imprisoned
feet out of stubborn boots.
The bootjack is the symbol of bad
roads, faulty means of communication,
community and family isolation, mar
rowed hut healthy amusements, bad
food, which we now recall sentimental
ly as ambrosial, bad taste in all the
material circumstances OF life, which
we now recall sentimentally as quaint.
The bootjack was one Of the most
highly complicated pieces of domestic
mechanism, not many generations
from this one, which lives by turning
electric switches and pressing but
tons.

women who have conducted Mime
