Three Months for Assault
On l8=Year=Old Girl.

conducts a barber shop in the south
basement of the Bank of Commerce
building, was Thursday given a
three months road sentence by
Judge j. Allen Austin for an assault
snpon 18-year-old Susie Stone. La
Emonds. through his attorney. gave
notice of appeal and his bond was
placed at $500, which he gave.
The alleged assault occurred June
18th, few minutes after z o'clock
IN the Office of a local dentist where
Miss Stone had gone to have some
dental work done. Miss Stone tes-
titled that she had gone to the dental
office Immediately after work hours
at the bakery where she was en-
ployed, as she had previously done,
and was awaiting the dentists ar
rival from supper when the tele
'phOne rang and that she did not pick
up the receiver until the third ring.
"A man at the other end of the phone
asked if the dentist was in and re-
.ceived word that he was not at
present but was expected any mo
ment. Five minutes after this con-
versation in walked Lamonds, who
began to talk. He asked the girl to
90 riding, saying, How about TAX
ing joy ride?" The witness testified
that she declined, whereupon La
monds asked her if she cared to eat
and again she replied no. The next
play on the checkerboard by La
monds was to ask Miss Stone to
show him ring and looking at it
walked around the chair in which
she was seated and caught hold of
her wrists with both hands and at
the same time pressing his face
against the back of her neck. She
was all the time making an effort to
free herself, which was finally ac-
complished with the admonitiOn to
co. and pretty soon Lamonds re-
tired. This was the evidence of Miss
Stone, who also, admitted that she
had received pokes of candy on two
different occasions from Lamonds.
She made good witness and stuck
lO 1lCl lCSlA4AOAy "INAAOAb AA1AAAtA46'
The dentist testified that upon en-
terine the Office he noticed that the
face was flushed and that she
showed him her wrists and repeated
substantially the same story to him
as she told on the witness stand.
The dentist also stated that La
monds had spoken to him about the
affair afterwards and expressed Se-
gret but said he thought the circum-
stances (the giving of candy being
mentioned) justified the leading on.
Lamonds, it will be remembered,
figured in the courts here last year
when a married woman shot up his
place in trying to hit him. The case
was taken to court but the matter
was later "hushed up as the woman
failed to appear against him. He is
married and his wife was in the
local hospital at the time of the last
trouble, two weeks ago.
The defense in the case Thursday
introduced no evidence whatever
and therefore the trial was not a
prolonged one. Miss Stone is the
daughter of a respected citizen of
the city and as far as known bears
a good reputation.

HOW A PRINTER DOES A JOB
By w. H. DupdaIe.)


Noticing last week in The High
Point Review what a record was
made by the Stamey Printing House
in turning out a rush job, the fol-
lowing lines were inspired.-Author.
A gentleman drove up one day before a
printing shop
And asked to see the printer, as he had
not long to stop;
He said he had some printing that he
needed right away
AS he was in a hurry, it must be done to-
day.
The printer took the order, said he'd do
it right away,
Got the stock and type together to start
without delay;
The boss took all the measurements and
r from them drew plan
And figured out the place he was to use
each man.
So early in the morning when the men
came in to know
On what job they were going they were
told to wait for Joe;
He'll return in just moment, there's
lightning job to do,
He expected every journeyman to rush
and get it through.
So Adam, Paul and Sammy, with Dan
and Will and Dick
Were started on the printing and they
had to do it qnick;
They started setting up the type, by
noon they had it done,
AT 1 O'Clock they went to work, the
finish had begun.
The boss put on his overalls to give the
boys a hand,
He cut out all the paper to meet the
mems demand;
And Sammy linked the presses and Adam
oiled the joints,
AS every fellow understood he had to
make his points.
The press was soon in motion, the proof
sheets soon were run
And Will made all corrections and by 3
O'Clock twas done;
To finish up the contract took the gang
about an hour,
And twenty minutes later some one said
"Shut off the power"
They started making up the pads to make
the job complete,
To fill the requisition they had to do it
neat;
They looked around the benches, there
was nothing else to do,
They had everything completed and by
S O'Clock were through.
That evening when the merchant called
at the printers place
He found the job completed. he had
..|-.~ such pleasant face;
He praised the stock and printing and
was satisfied, twas plain,
When he left he said "good evening,
you will hear from me again."
Next evening just at nightfall coach
and four-in-hand
Came driving down the main street, il
was headed by band;
They halted at the printing shop and
played lively air,
And Joe and Adam, Will and Fred and
Sam and Dan were there.
The gentleman alighted, called the boy.
out o1 the walk
While the band played "Tipperary'' and
''Tne Sidewalks of New York;
The EboyS were all invited to feast al
Elwood Inn,
When everyone was seated the festivi
ties begin.
They ate and drank, they smoked and
talked till near break of day
And having such jolly time they could
not get away;
But business prompted action, they could
not longer roam,
And every one departed while the band
played ''Home, Sweet Home"

BUILT FOR KINGS DAUGHTER
Louis XIV to Render Travel
More Easy.

The high road running along the
edge of the plateau of Craonne,
France, frequently mentioned in the
official communiques during the second
battle Of the Aisne, and which is going
down to history under the name Of the
"Chemin DIES Danes" (the ladies'
way), dates from the time Of Louis
XIV.
This road, beginning at the Paris
Maubeuge road, about ten miles north
east Of scissors, crosses the plateau
of Craonne, a distance Of about twelve
miles, then descends into the valley Of
the Ailette to cross the Vauclerc
woods to the domain Of the ancient
chateau Of Dove, near Bouconville,
where the Princess Adelaide, Sophie
and Victoire, daughters Of Louis XIV,
visited one Of their ladies Of honor,
Nine. de Narbonne, every summer.
The roads of the region were de-
testable. Out Of consideration for the
princesses a new paved road was built
along the crest Of the plateau and from
that fact it derives the name of the
"Chemin des Danes"

She Used Her Voice.

The Waldorf-Astoria hotel In New
York has q maid with voice. She
can yell louder than any Comanche on
the warpath. Recently she let loose
her voice and bellhops and porters
rushed to her from all over the big
hostelry. In answer to her cries she
pointed to one of the rooms. There's
Leprochauns In there" she cried, "lit-
tie devil men, with bald heads and
whiskers, leaping over the bed in yOn-
der ROOM" "Leprochauns," cried a
porter, also from the Emerald isle, and
he devoutly crossed himself. 'Lepro-
chauns, indeed" whimpered the maid.
'There they are in there. went in
and bless my soul. If these little devils
did not go leapin' about lookin' for all
the world like Paddy McFadden's two
uncles over in Ballyshanon. Sure, l
won't 60 in there again, job or no job"
With compressed lips and doughty
manners, the little party Of men went
into the room and then, after sup
pressed gasp, they laughed. For gam
boiling about were two tiny marmosets.
"Pets, are they?" repeated the maid.
"Well, may be they're all right, but
they look like devils just the same,
and I'll have none Of them"

| WHITE LOAF is REGRETTED
Its Successor in England is Not New
However, as Country Had Moth
Ing Else Years Ago.

We all mourn the death of the white
loaf. We look with disfavor upon its
gray successor, and we think Of the
dingy edible as something new-"Ow'

that with our grandfathers quite
white loaf was rarity, observes Lon

English millers had the shock Of
their lives when they discovered the
whiteness Of foreign flour. Nothing
could be produced by our mills to sat-
isfy the baker, who In turn had to
please his customers with white bread
Imports Of flour increased, and all be-
cause the British public were en-
amOred Of white bread.
Rumors of wonderful machinery pro-
ducing white -four in Budapest caused
English millers to visit Austria-Hun'

was that in 1878 the first complete
plant to reduce wheat to the white
flour was installed in BilstOn.
So started the home manufacture OF
white bread. We have had to bid fare

Serum for InfantiIe Paralysis.

Drs. M. Neustaedter and q. j.
Banzahf describe in the Journal OF
the American Medical association ex'
periments they have been making on
monkeys in developing a serum for the
treatment Of infantile paralysis. The
serum is derived from the blood OF
horses. Their report says:
sThe five naturalization experiments
were positive without exception. The
serum protected one monkey complete
ly against a rather slow-acting virus
of the eighth generation originally re-
covered from a human patient. On
account of the scarcity Of monkeys
we could not make as many expert
ments as we would wish to do, so we
report the facts without drawing con-
clusions. We feel. however, that we
are justified in using the serum in hui
man cases, especially when human
serum Is unobtainable, and shall re-
port when a sufficient number have
been treated"

The Secrets Of HE H0hnn3dernyc
KAISER AND CROWN PRINCE AS
Mt ERNST Won HELTZENDORFF TO WILLIAM LEQUEUX

In delight I took her into ROnzPs,
the noted confectioner's at the corner
Of the Piazza Colonna, and there, at
one Of the little tables, she explained
to me how she and her mother, having
become acquainted with Franz Sell
ger-not knowing him to be the gen.
erals son-they suddenly fell under
the suspicion Of the Berlin secret po-
lice, and, though much puzzled, did not
again come to court.
Some weeks later mother and daugh-
ter CHANGED to be In Paris, and one
day called at Seeliger's rooms In the
Rue de Provence, but he was out.
They, however, were shown into his
room to wait, and there saw upon his
table an abusive and scurrilOus type
written letter In German addressed to
the emperor. Then it suddenly dawned
upon them that the affable young man
might be the actual author Of those
Infamous letters, about which all Ber-
lin knew and was talking. 1t was this
visit which, no doubt, revealed to the
baron the young mans hiding place.
Both mother and daughter, however,
kept their own counsel, met Seeliger
next day, and watched, subsequently
learning to their surprise, that he was
the son Of General Won Trautmann,
and, further, that he had as friend
one of the personal Wallets Of the en-
peror, from whom, no doubt, he OBJ
tanned his inside information about
persons at court.
"When his father was arrested we
knew that the young man was living
in Brussels, and at once went there In
order to induce him to come forward.
make confession, and so save the gen.
eral from disgrace" said the pretty
girl seated before me. ION arrival we
saw him alone, and told him what we
had discovered in the Rue de Provence,
whereupon he admitted to us that he
had written all the letters, and an
bounced that he intended to return to
Berlin next day and give himself up
to the police in order to secure his
fathers release"
"And why did he not do so?" asked.
Because next morning he was found
dead in his bed in the hotel"
Fearing the emperor's wrath, the
Breitenbachs, like myself, dared not
reveal what they knew-the truth.
which is here set down for the first
time-and, alas! poor General Won

anonymous letters-you understand?
You know absolutely nothing"
Then, being summarily dismissed by
wave of the imperial hand, retired,
more mystified than ever. Why should
my mouth be thus closed?
When I returned to my rooms that
evening Schunke rang me up on the
telephone with the news that my
friends the Breitenbachs had closed
their house and left early that morn
ing for Brussels.
"Where is SeeligerT inquired.
"In Brussels. The Breitenbachs
have gone there to join him, now that
the truth is out, and his father is
under arrest"
The emperor's fury knew no bounds.
His mind poisoned against the poor
old general, he had fixed upon him as
the person responsible for that dis
graceful correspondence which for so
many weeks had kept the court in con-
slant turmoil and anxiety. Though his
majesty was aware Of the actual
writer Of the letters, he would not
listen to reason, and openly declared
that he would make an example of the
silver-haired old captain general Of the
guard, who. after all, was perfectly
innocent Of the deeds committed by his
vagabond son.
A prosecution was ordered, and

Where was the generals son-the
real culprit and author Of the letters?
I made inquiry Of Schunke, of the
baron, and Of others who had, at the
order of the all-highest, conspired to
ruin poor Won Trautmann. All, how
ever, declared ignorance, and yet, Gu
riously enough, the fine house Of the
Breitenbachs in the Alsenstrasse still
remained empty.
About six months after the secret
trial Of the unfortunate general had
accompanied the crown prince ON a
visit to the Quirinal, and one after
noon while strolling along the Corso,
in Rome, suddenly came face to face
with Fraulein Elise Breitenbach.
