Vibrations Ear Can Detect.

The ordinary human ear can detect
a tone whose vibration rate is at least
25,O00 vibrations a second, while the
whistle will produce $4,000 second.
This upper limit varies with the age
of the individual to such an extent
that, If the upper limit at sixteen
years of age were $4,000 vibrations, at
sixty years Of age 1t would be about
$4,000 O second.

errand, and l can get It for you be-
fore she returns"
She sent Liza to the drug store and
got the letter, which she handed to
me. 1t had been mailed the day be-
fore from San An. The rest of
the word was not apparent, because
the mailing stamp had not touched the
paper completely.
There seemed now no doubt but
that the murderer had been found, and
that he was at San Antonio. Having
ELECTED promise of secrecy from
Miss Johnson, next proceeded to the
plumbing shop where had reason to
believe the pipe had been bought.
The brother OF the proprietor, boy
OF eighteen, at once recognized the
piece Of pipe, which he said he had
cut from a large joint for the negro
the Friday before the murder. He de-
scribed the man as fully as Miss John
son had done, and said that he could
identify him on sight. l Immediately
arranged for the young fellow to &C
company me to San Antonio at my
expense, agreeing to recompense him
for his time. The boy got ready and
we left for San Antonio, arriving there
the next morning. While breakfasting
at the hotel telegram was brought
me. 1t was from Sheriff Cabel and
read:
Go to San Angelo, Tex, at once"
Before leaving for San Antonio
had arranged that the sheriff should
examine all letters received by the
maid, with the result that on that
morning one had arrived with the San
Angelo postmark plainly stamped on
1t. We accordingly took the next
train for that point. arriving on the
following morning, Sunday Just a
week after the murder of Mr.. Tenn
pie.
San Angelo was a small cattle-ship-
ping town. Within an hour after our
arrival had been able to ascertain
that the negro, John Perry, had left
on the Saturday evening for Lampasas,
Tex, On the following morning we ar
rived at that point. Lampasas was
the county seat and 1t was court week.
The town was filled to overlooking.
We walked to the hotel, and, on near
ing the postoffice, saw large crowd
waiting for the distribution of the mail.
The young fellow who was with me
called my attention to a colored man,
who was standing apart from the
crowd, and evidently waiting for a let
ter.
That's the niger l sold that piece
of pipe to-" he said.

for numbering white man there.
Take hold of him!" replied.
The sheriff grasped the negro by one
arm and by the other, and we started
for the jail through an angry mob,
which, hearing that the negro was ar
rested for the murder Of white man,
threatened a lynching. The sheriff
dissuaded them, however, promising
that the negro should be dealt with
by process of law. At the Jail the man
was searched and the letter was taken
from him, together with the two bills,
which proved to be of the value of
fifty dollars apiece. The letter had
been torn, but ! quickly pieced the
fragments together and read as fol-

DAY OF THE CATASTROPHE
Oldtlmers Remember with Regret the
Period When the Preserves Had
Been Used Up.

We dreaded that trip to the cellar.
Well we knew that good things could
not last forever. With fear and trem-
bling we had approached the shelf, and
had always come away with the re-
ward of our hardlhood in hoping that
the trip would not be our last. Then
came the day of the catastrophe. Com
pany had dropped in unexpectedly at
various and sundry times and always
we had had recourse to the swinging
shelf in the corner of the cellar, and,
truth to tell, it had never disappointed
us. The day had been cold and dark
and dreary 1t rHined, and the wind
was never weary, or something like
that. For once 1t seemed that we
were to be permitted to spend n Sun
day all alone. Not, of course, that we
did not appreciate our friends. But
even friends pail, at times.
We would make the journey down
stairs again. True, 1t was getting late
in the season, but there surely must
be one more good pot of gold at the
end of the rainbow. And yet, did we
bring the last one up two weeks ago
when the Joneses dropped in? We
were not sure. 1t did seem that with
the steady inroads we had made on
the supply 1t was about due for a
finish. But fate would not be so cruel
as to mark fms at such a time.

ing the facts at once. This was for
the purpose of letting Perry believe
that the negro would not be able to
give evidence against him, and so In
ducing him to remain in Dallas.
The extra edition was issued as soon
as possible. John Perry (the white
mani obtained one of the first mum
bers. He at once left his office and
started for his lodgings, which were
about mile away, stopping at every
saloon en- route and taking drink.
Two hours after sending the first

bel informing him that the negro
would recover, l asked him to treat
the message confidentially and to ar
rest Perry; he was then to meet me at
q small station near Dallas.
The program was carried out. We
met and arrived In Dallas together,
along with the wounded negro, who
was conveyed on the same train. The
man was taken to the Jail and placed
on a cot In the corridor, to have his
wound treated and dressed While the
doctor was engaged upon this work
the white John Perry, who, from his
cell, could plainly see all that was 60
ing on, became so enraged that he
attempted to kill himself by butting
his head against the steel bars of his
cage. The prisoner had almost sue.

Owing to the high standing of Perry
the Jail was filled with citizens on the
next day, many Of them being friends
of Temple, and leading citizens. Tele-
grams began to pour in, from all parts
of the state, rendering the prisoner all
sorts of aid, financial and otherwise.
An able lawyer volunteered to defend
the prisoner, and society ladies sent

Effect Of Heat on Glasses.

Thin glasses do not crack so easily
as thick glasses when you pour hot
water into them. This is because the
heat penetrates the thin glass so quick
ly as to heat all parts of 1t equally,
and they hold together in the expan-
sion which occurs. When hot water Is
poured into a thick glass the particles
forming the inside Of the glass begin
to expand before the heat has pene-
trated to the outside Of the glass, and
in the effort to expand the inside par
tlcles of the glass break away from the
particles of the outer side, thereby
causing the crack.

OF the postoffice window John Perry
received a letter. He left the line at
once and walked around q corner Of
the building. opened the envelope, and
extracted a couple of bills, which he
placed in his vest pocket. Meanwhile
l had approached him unobserved, and,
as the man looked up from the letter
which he was reading, he saw "A

him many delicacies of various kinds.
The prisoner had offered in extenu-
alton for his attempt to commit suicide
the plea that he had felt intolerably
Inundated by being accused OF the
murder of his partner. He declared
that he was innocent and would be
exonerated In court. Unfortunately
there appeared to be every likelihood
that Perry spoke the truth. since the
main evidence against him was that OF
a negro, and black mans testimony
requires to be strongly substantiated
in the south before 1t can convince the
mind of the average white juryman.
The colored prisoner continued to
improve, and Perry, who had seriously
injured himself, was also on the high
road to recovery when young woman
sent him q choice luncheon, In which
was a cut glass plate containing deli
cacies. While John Perry was eating
this lunch, the guard being at the far
end of the cell, he suddenly struck the
plate upon the steel floor, breaking
1t to pieces. He picked up large, tri-
angular-shaped piece OF glass, with
edges as sharp as that of razor, and
plunged 1t into his throat, at the same
time giving the piece Of glass an extra
twist, which severed the jugular vein,
causing death in few minutes.

There are some born abroad who
have come to this land for a greater
freedom and broader opportunities. and
have sought and received the privi-
leges Of American citizenship who are
swayed by dislike for some ally or by
the sympathies of German kinship and
fail to see that the time has come for
them to make good the obligations Of
their sworn oaths of naturalization.
This is the oath that the applicant
for citizenship makes:
That he will support the Constitu-
ton Of the United States and that he
absolutely and entirely renounces all
allegiance and fidelity to any foreign
prince, potentate or sovereignty that
he will support and defend the Consti-
tuition and laws Of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and do
nestle, and bear true faith and allie
glance to the same.
"False to Their oaths."
All these ~naturalized citizens who
are taking part in obstruction to our
government in the conduct Of the war
are false to their oaths, are FORGETTING
their rights Of citizenship, are repudi-
ating their honorable obligations, are
requiting by evil the good that has
been done them in the generous and
unstinted hospitality with which the
people of the United States have vel
coined them to the liberty and the op-
portunities of this free land. We must
believe that in many cases this is done
because of failure to understand what
this war really is.
This is a wal of defense. It is per-
fectly described in the words of the
Constitution which established this na.
ton, ITO provide for the common de-
Tense" and "To secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and our posterity."
The national defense demands not
merely force, but intelligence. 1t re-
quires foresight, consideration of the
policies and purposes of other nations,
understanding of the inevitable or
probable consequence Of the acts of
other nations, judgment as to the time
when successful defense may be made,
and when it will be too late, and prompt
action before it is too late.
By entering this war the United
States availed itself Of the very last
opportunity to defend itself.

EARNS l4sCENTS A DAY;
HAS WIFE AND BABY
And Yet This True Story Has a
Happy Ending.

Even a Frenchman sometimes loses,
for awhile at least, his 'unfailing''
sense of humor.
Take. for instance, the Ease of .
nan from Lille, a soldier, Waeltele by
name and only twenty-three. He had
done pretty well, for the youngster had
already his OWL printing shop in that
northern French town, which is still in.
side the German lines. In the trenches
Waeltele developed tuberculosis, and
he was sent to a hospital at Grenoble.
There he was considered incurable,
and after the usual three months Of
treatment he wa granted his IA cents
a day pension. Said his fatherly army
doctor, my son, you can perhaps cure
yourself If you will live in the noun.
tains, If you will eat plenty Of our.
fishing food and, above all, If you don't
worry"
WaeIteIe should have smiled, but he
didn't. He vas thinking Of his baby
and his wife-and his IA cents. "Don't
worry!" The humor Of it entirely es-
capped him.
Then the Red Cross stepped in. He
was found by an American woman
with some American Red Cross money
for just such cases, and within a few
hours he no longer had need to worry.
He was sent to the mountains at La.
mure, in the French Alps, happy in
the knowledge that his family was be-
ing cared for by these amazingly kind
Americans.
And now the army doctors words
are coming true. Waeltele's lung is
healing fast, and he is dreaming Of
another printing shop and Of living
again some day with that little family.
There have been over 100000 new
cases of tuberculosis in France since
the war started, and to care for these
cases and check the White Plaques
spread is merely n Of the big jobs
the American Red Cross has set out to
accomplish.

to turn to. A helpless mother!
To whom can the American soldiers
family look at this critical period7
Must a brave mans loyalty to his
country mean desolation and suffering
to those nearest and dearest to him?
No! Emphatically no! The Ameri-
can people will not permit the fami-
lies of their soldiers and sailors to
suffer because their breadwinners are
fighting for their country. And so the
Red Cross Department Of Civilian Re-
lief has created a nationwide organ
ization for home service for the fami.
lies of soldiers and sailors.
!. Under the banner of "Home Serv.
ice" patriotic men and ome have
enrolled and r devoting themselves
to the noble task of helping soldiers
families to meet and adjust the prob
lens of everyday life and aiding them
tc maintain the standards of health,
education and industry.
Home service-True Service.
Home service means keeping the sol.
dier's children well and in school. It
means tiding the family over financial
troubles, arranging the household
budget, meeting insurance premiums.
adjusting a mortgage, bringing med.
zeal aid and legal advice to bear at the
right moment. In short "Home Serv-
ice" is true service, in that #. provides
the warm handclasp of friendship
rather than the humiliation Of charity.
1t calls for sympathetic understanding
and intelligent consideration of tho
most vital needs Of the soldiers family.
The Red Cross is pledged to Home
Service" wherever needed in the Unit.
ed States. In each chapter of the Red
Cross there will be a home service
section, under competent hands, whose
mission will be to protect the welfare
Of the soldiers and sailors homes and
to safeguard the normal development
of their families in employment and in
ideals Of self help and self reliance.
