SAFE IN JAIL

made a good getaway from Sheriff

being alone, she was too frightened
to report the presence of Blackwell
Immediately, and it was not until
late in the afternoon that the hunted
man was reported to have entered
the smoke house.
Upon being captured, it was found
that Blackwell was wounded in his
leg, it was reported, by a pistol OF
rifle ball. How long ago this wound
was inflicted could not be learned

Profit in High Wages.

Wherever rubber grows, there in

made cheap because human life where
they grow is cheap. The spirit OF hui

the relations between those who have
much and those who have little. But
a rare discovery has been made.
Strange as 1t may seem, it has been
proved by experiment that it pays to
be reckless of expense when service

has come to pass in the higher ranges
of employment, where salaries have
been increased tenfold and even more,
is happening all along the line where
labor and capital meet. Five dollars
paid in wages TO one competent man
brings larger return than So paid to
FIVE incompetent men and women; and
the larger wage brings the greater tit

MADE PROPOSAL BY PROXY
His Task Was Similar to John AIden's,
but Fortunately 1t Had Diff

liminary conversation said: "Well
it is about six months since my wife
died, and just before she left me she
said in the presence of witnesses that
if / remained single until the follow
ing spring was to get married again,
and, as the leaves are already big on
the trees, have come to see you and
hear what you have to say about it."
When | told him that there was no
law to prohibit his taking another wife
so soon, he went on, II want you to
select wife for me-"

undertake such a responsibility, for, if

and afterward she did not please you,
you would be most likely to blame me
for your unhappiness."

Then I said, ''In the first place do
not know whether you want to marry
an old or q young woman, and must
have something to guide me in making
a selection"

have been thinking about, and how
could you have known this unless the
great spirit had guided your judg-
ment?'

you look at it in that way; now you
had better go and propose to her"
"No," said he, 81 cannot do that. If
I knew she would say yes l should
go; but she might say no. and In
dams never like to have their petitions
rejected when they go on business of
that nature"
Then I asked him what he intended
to do. "Why, sir" he said, Il want

You corn-pestered men and women

A small bottle of freezone costs very
