Many OF the unconventional intel
lectuals OF Browns day looked to
him for moral as we'll as artistic
guidance. Yet most Of them wished
him to keep his hands off their pri-
vate affairs. for instance, their hab-
it's Of hard-drinking. But Brown
evolved a scheme which worked per
fectly to keep many a poet within
bounds.
This scheme was none other than
to let it be known to every cabman
within his acquaintance that any
friend Of his should, when found
drunk, be brought 10 his big, gloomy
house. Whether Brown was al home
or not, the inebriate was carried up
stairs by the cabman and Browns
strong maid-Of-all work. and de-
posted in the bathtub. The reason
the bathtub was chosen was because
the patient could not roll out. and
therefore would be safe.
In this bathtub the patient was
kept until he was brought back to
sobriety again with the aid Of the
strongest coffee Imaginable. Then
Brown would read him a lecture on
the evil OF his ways. He would be
kept in the house as a guest for as
long as he could stand the solitude,
and then-like as not-he would sal
ly forth again TO do just as he had
done before.
But-here Browns clever goodness
would suddenly appear-the very
next time the friend lapsed from the
way he should go he would be
whisked to Browns house in short
order. There could be no mistake on
the part CT the cabmen as TO just
who was to be hurried TO Brown
house. For Brown sewed in the coat
collar Of every one Of his patients"
his own name and address, with in
structions to deliver the man at his
house. no matter what the hour.

The Boss Rather.


John Presley, a colored farm hand
on Mr.. John Burgess place in the
Bethel section last Friday came upon
and killed what is believed to be the
boss rattler of this section. The rep
tile was apparently making its way
from the swamp to the oak ridge when
Pressley's dog came upon him. Press
ley was reluctant in tackling the snake
on account of its enormous size, but
finally took courage and says he "first
tapped him lightly to hear him make
a fuss with his rattles." When he had
completed the undertaking, he carried
the dead reptile to show some Of his
neighbors. It is said to have measur-
ed five and half feet in length, 12A
inches in circumference, and was
equipped with a set Of eighteen rat
ties and the usual button which is said
to indicate that the snake, or at least
the dangerous end of him, was more
than eighteen years old.

THIEF ENTERS TRIO !
STORES and BANK
PLIERS BUSINESS PLACES AND
LEAVES TOWN ON CITI.
ZEN'S MULE.

During the early hours of Monday
morning cheap thief made it his
business to pilfer the little town of
Trio in a pretty thorough manner, and
while the thief made his escape, his
identity is said to be known and his
apprehension, it is believed, is only
matter of short time.
The thief entered the town sometime
about midnight; went to Mr.. Moore's
stable, where he secured mule which
he tethered in a convenient place so
that if he became hard pressed he
could jump on the mule and get away.
After arranging with the mule, he
started his depredations. He entered
the depot, Rowell's two stores, Moore's
store, Trio Supply Co.'s store and the
bank of Trio. It is known that he
secured five dollars in savings stamps,
one dollar and twenty cents in money
a few packages of soda crackers and
other items of minor value-none
worth the effort he exerted to break
the locks and chains and bars that
he was obliged to overcome before he
gained access to real treasure, of
which he apparently took very little.
While entering the Trio Bank the
people who live in the building were
aroused and became SO excited that
no effort was made to capture the
burglar. After inspecting" the bank,
the man left and pried his way into
a nearby store. While in this store
the man living in the bank building
went out and aroused Mr.. Tom Rowell.
but when the latter got out he found
that the thief had mounted Mr..
Moore's mule and made his escape.
Ry this time it was nearly daylight,
a search was begun and it was learned
that the man, a negro, had ridden to
Suttons, where he turned the mule
loose and took to the bushes afoot.
It is believed that he later boarded
tain at Taft The mule returned to
its owner.
Deputy Sheriff Frierson was on the
scene early Monday with the blood
hounds.

CITES 6,5OS SUICIDES
IN SIX MONTHS OF 1921
Save-A-Life League Reports a Big
Increase-214 Boys. 293 Girls,
Take Their Own Lives.

A Suicide wave" has spread over
this country since the first of the
year, according to DR.. Harry M.War-
rem, president of the Save-a-Life Lea
que, with headquarters in New York
city.
During the first six MONTHS" he
said, "there were reported to the
league $500 suicides, of whom 4,527
were males and 1882 females. In
the first half of 1920, 2,771 suicides
were reported in the United States
1910 males and 961 females"
The average age of the male suicide
is 4S years. Unsettled economic con-
ditions, with loss of Employment and
business failures are blamed by DR..
Warren for the "wave."
"The most dreadful phase of this
report" his statement continued, "is
the pitiful fact that while 225 child
rem ended their lives in the first half
of 1920, the number has more than
doubled this year." Of these latter
214 were boys and 293 were girls, a
total of 507. The average is, boys, 16;
girls, Is. A large percentage Of the
girls took poison, and most of the
boys shot themselves, according to
the report.
