TO CHECK Discomfort.
Coy. cornweII Advises Merchants To
Forego Their Profits.

Atlantic City, N. J.-Governor John
J. Cornwell, Of West Virginia, told
the joint convention of the American
Hardware Manufacturers Association
and the Southern Hardware Jobbers'
Association here that high prices are
the groundwork of discomfort.
II believe if the great merchants
CT this country would make up their
mind to forego PROFITS for three or
four months and sell the things which
our people must have, at cost and a
reasonable commission, they would go
far toward knocking the bottom out
of unrest and discomfort" he declared.
Il am no alarmist, but the man who
has failed to grasp the extent Of the
radical movement in this country does
not know all he ought to know. We
have got to get government back to
constitutional grounds, and we have
got to eliminate lot of the socialistic
doctrine and theory running riot
through the Federal Government and
some of cur state governments as
well.'

tie To so Policemen And ls Shot
Dead As He Begs For A

Chicago. - The spectacular bandit
career of Horace Walton lasted exactly
two hours.
This is the present belief of the po-
lice, after an unsuccessful attempt to
trace the past of the youth who held
up an Illionis Central mail train as 1t
was entering Chicago. The robber de-
liberately rifled mail sacks Of $105,000
in gold and currency and made his
escape, only to be slain after terrific
battle with police, during which he
killed one officer and wounded two
others.
Walton came to Chicago. few
months ago from st. Joseph, Mo. He
was "a years old, according to the po-
lice, and he at once joined the Young
Mems Christian Association. He was
polite, quiet and of good appearance.
That he was to surpass in audacity
the exploits of Jesse James, who was
killed in his home town, was the last
thing his friends expected.
1t was his first time away from
home, and when he did not write to his
mother she wrote to the Chicago police
asking their assistance in finding the
country boy"
There was nothing rural about the
conduct of Walton once he decided to
turn criminal. The police called him
the "nerviest guy that ever handled
gun"
When he was surrounded in his
room in an apartment in exclusive
Hyde Park Boulevard and SO police
men were pouring lead through the
thin walls he astounded Chief of De-
:ectives Mooney by pleading for a
square DEAL"
Let me in the street with any one
Of you and let's have a fair fight" he
pleaded.
The reply was a bullet through the
heart from the pistol of Chief Mooney,
who was in charge of the fight to cap
ture the youthful desperado.
When he boarded the limited train
At Gilman, ILL.,, he took seat in Pull
man car.
When the train left Kankakee, he
nonchalantly strolled through the train
and made his way to the mail car
Good evening, I'm an inspector" he
said to Chief Clerk Elmer S. Harris.
Harris asked for his credentials and
Walton replied by drawing his gun.
stick 'em UP and keep 'em up" he
commanded. 'I'll croak the first bird
who makes crooked move"
The bandit then directed one of the
clerks to tie the hands of the other
four and calmly proceeded to rifle the
mail sacks. This finished, he sat on
table and joked with the bound men.
AS the train drew into Chicago he
handed each clerk $50 "for his trou-
BILE" and swung off the car at Sixty
third street.
Walton was within a block of his
home when two policemen spied him
and were suspicious of the black bag
he carried
What have you there" demanded
Policeman Roberts.
Walton's gun spoke and Roberts fell,
mortally wounded. The bandit then
dropped his bag of loot and was seen
to enter an apartment building. He
was traced to his room
For 80 minutes, lying on his stom-
ach, he fought the Gordon of police
who were pouring hundreds Of shots
into his room.
His ammunition gone, Walton stag
gered to his feet, asked for chance
to fight square and was shot dead.
The bandit career Of Horace Walton
had started and ended in two hours.

FVIL times fell upon England in
the year 1348, when the great
plague devastated the land. 1t
was during this period that the story
Of Sir Nigel takes place.
The house of Loring, like many an
other noble family, felt the heavy hand
of misfortune; for after the Barons'
War and lawsuits with Waverly Abbey
the men of the church and the men .of
the law left nothing but the manor of
Tilford for the remaining members of
the family, Lady Ermyntrude and her
grandson Nigel.
Nigel Loring came Of a race of
heroes, his grandfather having fallen
at the battle of Stirling, and his father
in the sea fight of Sluys. Nigel, his
veins thrilling with the blood of hun
dred soldiers, was filled with the de-
sire for adventure and combat having
been trained at the desire of his grand
mother in skill at arms, and courage,
he became also a daring rider. At
times a fierce bitterness assailed Nigel
at the thought of the wrongs done by
the Abbot of Waverly, whom he be-
lieved had robbed the L0rings of much
of their estate.
On the first day of May, the Festival
of the Apostles Philip and James, con-
sternation reigned at the Abbey, when
1t was found that large pike had
eaten the carp in Abbot Johns fish
pond, Nigel being accused of putting
the pike in the pond. Abbot John and
the sacrist, Brother Samuel, were in
consultation upon the subject, when
they were rudely interrupted by buzz
of excitement among the monks in the
cloister. A white-faced brother flung
open the door and rushing into the
room cried, 'sFather Abbot, alas, alas.
Brother John is dead, and the Sub
prior is dead, and the Devil is loose
in the five virgate field"
Now what the brother called the
"Devil" was a great yellow horse, held
at the Abbey for the debt of his owner,
Franklin Aylward; such horse. it was
said, was not to be found betwixt the
Abbey and the Kings stables at Wind
scr.
It was sorry day that brought the
horse to the Abbey, for, no one there
could be found who would or could
ride him or conquer him; he had in
deed nearly killed the Brother and the
Subprior.
Abbot John and the monks, intent
upon seeing, with their own eyes, this
terrible creature, hurried down the
stairs and gained the wall of the mea-
dow, where looking over it's top they
beheld the magnificent horse standing
fetlock deep in the meadow grass. Up
on this wild scene there arrived riding
his pony the young Squire Loring,
small of stature, but with muscles of
steel, and soul of fires his face,
though tanned with the weather, was
delicate of feature. His whole appear
ance made him a mark for the sight of
any passer-by, but at the first glance,
the brown face set in its golden hair
and beard, and the daring light of the
quick, reckless, laughing eyes, made
the one strong memory left behind.
The horse was at the moment tram
ping his latest victim and Nigel, spring
ing from his pony, was over the wall
and at battle with the creature, prov
Ing himself master. Some discussion
arose among the monks as to the kill
Ing of the yellow horse, or the giving
him to Nigel as punishment; the last
suggestion finally won, and Nigel pro-
ceeded to further subdue the hereto
