turned to England after spending
twenty years in practically unknown
parts. Of South Africa, is author OF q
story about an unknown monster that
had been seen near the Great falls OF
the Orange river. 1t has a huge head
and a neck ten feet long like a bend
ing tree. 1t SEXES the native cattle and
drags them under water. The natives
call 1t "Kyman," n the Great Thing.
Last May Mr.. Cornell, accompanied
By two white companions. w. b.
Brown and N. B. Way of Capetown,
and three Hottentots, went to the
junction Of the Cub and Orange riv-
ers to see the monster If possible.
He writes: Sat the cries of the ma

Dismal swamp went 'possum hunting

Salvation, being the better climber,
volunteered to go up and shake down
the 'possum, whereupon King Agrippa
made ready to catch it in the sack
they took along for that purpose.
Instead Of an opossum, the dogs
had freed a wildcat. AS Salvation
made his way to the topmost branches
the animal retreated still farther out
on the overhanging limbs, and emit

cuss words broke loose from below.
"Hey, dar, King Agrippa! J" anxiorsly

Safe Crackers Wife Tells
About Her Life.

A walk through a park with COM
panions from a girls board school;
a meeting with an ardent admirer in
a park, a quick courtship and an en-
gagement; unyielding objection to
the match by the girls father; an
elopement through a window from
the school; a hasty marriage and
then-well then, an awakening to
the fact that her husband was a safe
blower by profession. Did they live
happily ever after? The husband, j.
C. Moore, was shot to death at Tren-
ton last Monday morning when he
was in the act of blowing open a safe
and the wife is a prisoner on the
third floor of the Richland county
jail.
Mrs. Moore, who didn't care to give
her maiden name when e e yester-
day in the county jail, is a decided
blonde of the sturdy type. She says
she is20 years olo and even after
having undergone during the past
two days, close questioning at the
hands of officers who have been en-
deavoring to procure information
from her, she does not seem worn nor
exhausted. She smokes necessarily,
lighting one cigarette after the other
and inhaling deeply almost, all the
smoke. There was no evidence of ner-
vousness in her behaviour yesterday
but she had been given opportunity
to rest during the day.
Talks With Freedom.
Mrs. Moore makes nc objection to
talking about her career with the
man who met death at Trenton while
blowing a safe:
81 thought 1 loved him at first
she said, "but I know now there car
be no real love unless there is re
spect."
"You see, I was just a kid when
met him. I was attending a boarding
school near Huntington, w. Va, sew
eral years ago, and the authoritie'
would permit the girls to walk gu
through a park.
"once when we were in the park
met Nh. Moore. I was just kid ant
