Bits of Mr.. Goslington's Philosophy

to cotton to the young man who gets there
regularly on time. who keeps his appoint
ments faithfully, a man upon whom he
can rely.
For some years, now, have been trying
to get myself under perfect self control. so
that l wouldn't be surprised or startled by
anything. and especially so that I wouldn't
be surprised into saying something that
would wish hadn't said. No end of things
turn up, at home and abroad, on which we
are instinctively prompted to comment, but
on which comment would be better spared,
hard feelings being saved thereby. These
things might be OF no real importance what
ever, except as we might make them SO by
opposition; people cling to and magnify
ideas that are opposed.
The trouble about all these things is that
they pop up so Unexpectedly; the strangest
and most unlocked for things happen; and
you have to get the habit Of being on guard
If you would avoid involuntary comment
that you would regret. But exercising your
eelf-control is great fun. In this exercise
have advanced somewhat. I do slip cog
occasionally, l will admit and when 1 do it
takes me day or two to recover my
serenity But on the other hand have
been as much as three weeks without falling
down; and / fully expect to do better and
better all the time.
Try exercising your self-control You will
find it most refreshing and strengthening;
and incidentally you will find yourself con-
tributing to the happiness OF everybody
around you.

slipped the revolver from the guards
holster.
Now you can both put your hands up"
he said and covered the guards with the
revolver.
Their hands went up as though they
were on springs and Tom Wing reached
over and took the handcuff and leg iron
keys from the pocket of one of the guards.
He removed the irons from himself and
Gardner, who then helped himself to the
second guards gun. He directed Tom
Wing while the Chinese handcuffed the
officers to the second Chinese and chained
the leg irons to the heating pipes.
Gardner then robbed the second Chinese
of $2O-why they did not include this
prisoner In their escape never was ex-
plained-and left the stateroom, locking
the door behind them. They walked
through the train taking their time, and
hoped off the train as it slowed down
to enter East Portland station. The
guards shouted for help and finally we're
released to direct hunt for Gardner.
A search up and down the Pacific coast
failed to uncover any trace Of the bandit
until officers who had been watching his
home near Napa, Cal, and had tapped the
telephone wire leading to the ranch house
where his wife was living heard Gardner
talking to her.
"Oh, Roy, why did you break away when
you know they will catch you and it will
only be harder for us all?" the woman
walled over the wire.
well, If it will make you feel any
easier I'll surrender, but first l must see
you and the baby" the bandit replied good
naturally.
you must not try 1.-THE officers are
hot after you and they will kill you If
they get you" Mrs. Gardner said. "You
had better surrender right away"
Il guess they must want fight" said
the bandit musingly. IF that is what they
want will give it to them. The only way
they can catch me is for me to give up.
can stay out as long as l want to-"
The officers traced the telephone call.
When they reached the point from which
Gardner had called he had vanished.
A posse armed with shotguns was hur-
riedly called. Every foot of territory was
beaten over, and finally on O'Kells ranch,
about eight miles away, they saw Gardner

Choked Railway Mail Clerk
And Looted Registered Pouches

The watch was still being kept for
castle on the night of May 10. The South
ern Pacific Filler had slowed down and
the mail clerk, Ralph Decker, who had left
the door Of his car partly open, was busy
at his mail sacks.
Decker heard slight sound behind him
and started to swing around AS he turned
Gardner leaped on him like a panther,
choking him into semi-consciousness. Then
he looked over the mail pouches, selected
one containing registered mail and leaped
from the train.
AS soon as Decker could get his breath
he gave the alarm and new hunt started
for Gardner. Decker had recognized the
bandit from a circular with his picture
and the hunt was carried on with re-
doubled energy. Federal officers, State and
local officials, as well as hundreds of volun-
teers, took part in the search.
officers found Gardeners trail near Lin
coin. They gradually worked him down
into a canyon, where it would be easy,
they thought, to cut him off from escape
and starve him out. There were $50 men
in the hunting party, every one of them
heavily armed Once more they worked
down to the centre of their circle, just as
the posse had done at Napa. When they
met at the centre they found a mail sack
ripped open and the coverings of the
parcels 1t had contained strewn over the
ground, Gardner apparently had taken his
time to make a careful selection of the
loot and then had decamped as myster.

HoN'T decide anything when you are
feeling down; at such time your
one thought Is to get the thing
settled; you are ready to yield everything.
What you want to do when you are feeling
like that is to wait bit: stave the thing

as you surely will. There never was a storm
yet but 1t cleared off, bringing bright skies

After GLIDING his pursuers for some time
word reached the officers that man had
been gambling wildly near Roseville. They
closed in on the gambling house and
entered to find Gardner sitting at table
with cards in his hands. There was no
chance to get away this time or to reach
any weapons. Gardner did not as much
as flicker an eyelash.

Wife Pleaded for Confession
And He Obliged Once More

Once more Mrs. Gardner was urged to
ask her husband to tell the truth. 1t was
better for Gardner to make clean breast
of his crime than to go through with a
trial. He had twenty-five years waiting
for him anyhow they told him, and If any
chance for clemency ever should develop
it would be better if he confessed than to
stand trial and face certain conviction.

Columbia, Aug. 19.-Governor
Cooper, who has been summering in
Greenville returned to his office in
Columbia today to handle the situa-
tion surrounding the holding of the
two prisoners in Charleston, c. 0.
Fox and Jesse Gappins, charged with
the killing of William Brazell, Co.
lumbia taxi driver. The governor
arrived shortly after noon and had a
conference with Sheriff Alex Heise,
of Columbia. After the conference
it was stated that there was nothing
for publication; that the governor ha
not made any plans of action re-
garding the recent crime situation in
the state. 1t is expected that the gov
ernor will make some statement late
this afternoon on tomorrow.
Asked whether the governor would
send to Charleston for the two men
held there, it was stated that he had
reached no decision in this direction.
It is understood the Columbia sheriff
asked the governor about reward
for the apprehension Of the negro who
early Wednesday morning shot and
killed policeman Henry Brown, Of the
Columbia force.
A large posse of men and officers
left Columbia this morning for
Blythewood to take up again the hunt
for the man who killed the policeman.
This is the third day that the man
hunt has continued without success.
the bloodhounds which we're in use
were found to be of little value and
were sent back to their owner, Sheriff
Blease, of Newberry.
Governor Cooper stated this after
noon that he was preparing state
ment on the situation surrounding the
mob activities in recent days and
would make this public later. Re-
garding the two men in Charleston
the governor stated that if he had
any plans regarding them he could
not make the matter public. There
has been too much newspaper publici-
ty in regard to this matter already

state government is failing in its
duty when it decides to hold prison

quently happens, of course, that pris-

In Touch With Situation.
There seems to be an idea, also,
that the governor of the state cannot
discharge the duties of his office
unless he is at his desk in the COVER
nor's Office in the state capitol. |
wish to say that / have been in con-
stant and continuous touch with this
whole situation, by telephone and
TELEGRAPH from my temporary resi-
dence on Paris Mountain and have
given the same instruction and advice
that 1 would have given had l been
in Columbia. 1t is neither customary
nor advisable, in my opinion, for the
governor to be personally in charge
and Immediately on the scene of a
disturbance of this character. 1t fire.
quently happens that such an out
break is threatened in a distant part
of the state from Columbia, and I
have never known but one instance
where the governor left his office to
go to the scene of trouble.
SAYS Sheriff on Job.
Gas soon as 1 was Informed that
there was a proba Bile danger from an
act Of violence and that mob was
forming in Columb bia, 1 communicated
with Sheriff Heise and directed him to
use his entire police force and would
give him additional men if necessary,
and that every person found in his
county who was participating or
threatening to participate, in any act
of violence, or who was going armed,
making, demonstrations to the terror
of the peace of the community, should
be arrested and committed to jail. |
am assured by Sheriff Heise that he
has been vigilant and has been unable
to discover any threatened act OF vio-
lence. He assures me that persons
who were supposed to have gone to
Augusta, Georgia, and entered the
Jail there, left the city Of Columbia
quietly, and when he was Informed
of their departure, he notified the
sheriff of Augusta, Ga. l was unable
to get in direct communication with
Sheriff Roof, of Lexington, but have
had a conference with him today and
he assures me that he has been vigi-
ant and active in the discharge of his
duty. 1 did get a message to him
similar to the one given Sheriff Heise.
1T is rather significant that in al
most every instance where l had oc-
casion to use either the telephone or
telegraph, information as to the con-
tents of my conversation or message
in some mysterious way found its way
to persons on the streets and to men,
bers or sympahtizers of the would-be
lynchers. This matter l would like
to call to the attention of the authori-
ties of the telephone and telegraph
companies
