UNIDENTIFIED NEGRO
ASSAULTS JEWELER
K. S. Lewis Badly Beaten. His
Assailant Escapes.

K. S. Lewis, prominent young
jeweler of Obion, Tenn, was thought
to the Baptist Hospital here last
night, the victim of an unidentified
Negroes vicious attempt to rob his
jewelry store. His head was literally
covered with ugly bruises and cuts
inflicted with what was evidently the
butt of the assailant's pistol, and it
may be that his skull is fractured
Physicians at the hospital say that he
will PROBABLY live.
At the time the young jeweler was
being taken from the station to the
hospital by the ambulance CT j, T.
Hinton e. Son a posse formed at
Obion was searching the countryside
near Fulton, KY, for the negro, who,
it is alleged, broke into the jewelry
store, and after beating Mr.. Lewis
over the head with his gun, became
frightened and ran away, leaving ap-
proximately $4,000 in jewolry and
money in an unlocked safe in the
store. 1t is the belief CT friends who
accompanied the jeweler to Memphis
that the negro would be killed by
members of the posse If he is cap
tured
The negro was caught near Fulton
yesterday afternoon, but escaped
from a special officer of the Illinois
Central Railroad by turning back
ward somersault from the window of
a moving freight engine. This oc-
Cured but a few minutes after he
was captured by the officer, who at
the time the daring leap for liberty
was made held the nose of pistol
against the blacks heart. The Of
ficer pulled the trigger of his gun
just as the negro jumped backward,
but the mechanism was defective and
the gun would not fire. The negro

Previous % the jump he was
searched and a .45-calibcr pistol with
its butt bloody was found in his
pocket. Two bloody handkerchiefs
were also taken from him and his
overalls and shirt were splotched
with crimson.
Mr.. Lewis account of the attempt
ed robbery is vague. He says that he
was asleep in room in the rear of his
store when ne was hit the first time.
He was stunned, he said, but offered
only to be dragged to the
floor and hit several times mere. He
was of the opinion that two men
we're in the room besides himself. but
ne could give no description of them.
Rogaining his senses he dragged
himself to a telephone and called his
physician, who administered first aid.

How to Use VioletA

Violet time is at hand. In addition to bouquet making these flowers have a number of uses which might well be more widely known. We are told that the blossom is a cough remedy, an emollient and a medicine for increasing the precipitation. It Is also used in the treatment of various infiammatory ill., nesses. A hair tonic may be made from violets by slowly pouring over them oil of sweet almonds, which ab- sorbs their fragrance, and mixing this with a quarter of its volume of So per cent alcohol This emulsion is said to prevent the hair from coming out if used daily. To perfume linen: Detach the violets from their stems and put them in q small bottle in alternate layers of violets and table salt. When the bottle is half full, seal it hermel- cally and put it in corner of the kitchen near the stove. At the end of three weeks the stopper may be drawn and the bottle placed among your linen, will infuse the garments with the fragrance of violets. The next day take the bottle out and re- cork it. The process may then be re peated whenever your linen needs per fuming. Le Petit Parisien.

READ BIBLE TO GET PENNIES
Woman in State Of Washington Has Found That Scripture Study
 May Be Purchased.

There is complaint that people no longer read their Bibles. Mrs. Caches of La Conner has found way to pop. ularize Bible reading A few weeks ago she offered to pay a penny a verse to every child or adult who com mitted to memory verses from certain chapters in the Bible. And now she is receiving the heaviest mail in La Conner-repOrts from the children and brethren who have earned their pennies and want them at once, Glen NJ. Foley writes in the Seattle Post [ntelligencer. It would require one persons time to answer all the letters ind mail pennies. Requests have come from all parts of the United States and there have even been ap- plications from foreign countries.
 Hence, general Bible reading, we aote, Is only matter of going out and buying it. MT. Rockefeller and others of his fatness might make Bible reading the avocation of the whole country by detaching a few million tollars and turning them into pennies. But will that variety of Bible reading do any good? Will 1t stimulate the readers who are after pennies to fol- tow the Christian life7 Or Is 1t sim ply estimated that nobody can read much in the Bible without some of 1t sticking to him? ,..

BELIEVE LAND IS ACCURSED
French Workmen Refuse to CompIe.. Building of Structure Which They
 Assert Is Haunted.

Corner sites are usually at a pre- mium in any great city, but Paris has one that has remained unoccupied foF nearly 30 years simply because French carpenters, bricklayers and masons re- fuse to complete a structure which was begun there and which they de- clare Is haunted. The corner is the rue de Ia Nillette.
 In 1892 the owner of the plot de cided to build a three-story brick apartment house, but hardly had work started on the walls when workmen found the body of a woman who had been cut into pieces and buried in basket. The labOrers threw down their tools and refused to work. A new crew was hired, but the first day they were at work a scaffold fell, Killing one of the workmen and in- turing another. This convinced the superstitious ones in the force that the place was haunted and they in- duced the contractor to give up the job.
 For % years the construction work was halted and then another con7 tractor tried the task, but the fol- lowing day the war began, and the contract was recalled. Since then the owners of the property have refused to go near the site, although they are willing to sell it if a buyer can be found who will assume all the risks.
