"As I understand the affair, Ward

Peters's gun from the roadway and
tucked that away also. When wart.s

Southern Albanian Towns.

The towns of southern Albania are
few and, though strange and pic
turesque in appearance, are in reality
poor in comfort. OF cities there are
not any. Koritza, with some 10000
people, is the largest place, but it is
far from being city. However, it
the towns are somewhat mean and
squalid, they are interesting to the
eye and have the charm of old-world
Quaintness. There are but four worth
mentioning: Arjrokastro, so old, at
least in appearance, that its origin
falls. back into the mists of time; the
pleasant village of Premati lying In
fertile valley along the River Viosa,
Koritza and Valona. They are all
pleasant places to look upon, nesting
among the mountains, in the valleys,
and by the sea, with their old gray
walls and roofs Of stone dotted with
storks; but they possess none of the
comforts or conveniences OF modern
life. - National Geographic Society

Yellow Writino Papcr Best.

Oculists have often called attention
to the fact that the eyes are easily
fatigued by the reflection from white
paper, especially when the surface Is
under strong light. Since green is
known to be the color most restful
to the eyes, it is common practice
to use wall papers and draperies of
that color In libraries and private
studies. For writing paper, however,
green is an unsatisfactory color. It
imparts a reddish appearance to the
writing and makes it hard to read.
Yellow writing paper Is not open to
the same objection. In strong day
light, 1t is softer than pure white
paper, and in artificial light is not
too dark. Black letters on yellowlsh
background show clear and distinct.
Many mathelnaticlans use yellow
paper in figuring long and difficult
calculations, and many writer's have
adopted it for manuscripts. 1t has
the additional merit of cleapness.

Rifles Doomed Sea Otter.

When the natives Of Alaska were
given rifles, the sea otter's fate was
sealed, for the noise Of the surf and
the distance from which the hunter
could aim made it easy to kill them
whenever head showed in the waves.
Then it was only question Of waiting
till the body was washed ashore. Long
ago the natives caught them with nets
Of sinew spread on the kelp beds, for
the otter would die Of fright when
caught, instead Of gnawing out, as the
seal does. They become so desperate
when chased that the natives say they
sometimes jam themselves into crew
ices Of the rocks beneath the ocean.
never to rise. The orthodox Alaskan
way of hunting them is by the "spear
surround" when many hunters In
canoes form great circle around the
spot in the sea where an otter has
been seen, wait for it to rise (Which
it must do, for air, within half an
hour), then brighten it under SO quick
~, every time 1t. shows it's head, that

LEAP FOR LIFE

Fort Henry was 4 little stockade
built for the protection Of the settlers
Of West Virginia against the British
and Indians during the War Of the
Revolution. 1t stood on the Ohio
river near the present site of Wheel
ing. In the. summer Of 1777 when it
was besieged by a strong force Of saw
ages, Maj. Sam Mccullough, noted
border leader, left Fort Pitt at the
head Of 40 men to raise the siege.
Coming in sight Of the fort, McCul-
lough's men made dash for the gates
and passed through them in safety, al
though the Indians made q desperate
effort to cut them of. Major McCul-
Tough held back to cover the retreat
Of his men until they were safely with

the redskins succeeded in getting be-
tween him and the fort.
Setting spurs to his horse, the
ranger leader dashed for a hill back
Of the fort At its top he met another
band of Indians and at the same time
a third group approached him from
another direction. The Indians were
now on three sides Of him. On the
other was high precipice projecting
over Wheeling creek, 800 feet below.
The ranger was cornered.
The Indians raised yell Of triumph
as they closed in on him. But when
they saw Mccullough turn his horse

Urging. his horse to dead run, the

bank. Then slipping and sliding for

bottom.
AS the Indians rushed to the edge
of the precipice expecting to see the
crushed forms of horse and man far
below, they were astonished at the
sight of the major, still upright in the
saddle, plunging into the creek and
riding up the other side to safety.
Within few hours he was back at

CAPTAIN SAM BRADY AND HIS
- FAMOUS LEAP

Capt. Sam Brady was a member of
fighting family which made history
on the Pennsylvania border during the
Indian wars after the Revolution.
Captain Brady's greatest exploit took
place In Ohio. He had been captured
by the Indians apd carried to the San
dusky Towns, headquarters for all the
Ohio tribes, where the savages pre-
pared to burn him at the stake.
He was stripped, bound to post
and slow fires kindled around him, for
the Indians hated him so much that
they wished to torture him as long as
possible. Brady was a powerful man
and he strained at his letters until
they were loosened Slightly. Then
with final effort he snapped the last
bond, leaped across the barrier of
fame and, Selling squaw, pitched
her into the fire.
Before the Indians could recover
from their surprise, the scout escaped
from the village and plunged into the
woods, holly pursued by hundreds Of
savages. Finally he came to the
Cuyahoga river, near the present site
of Kent in Portage county.
At this place the river flowed be-
tween steep, rocky banks, % feet
across from side to side. The scout
was trapped. There was no other place
for miles up and down the river where
he could ford it. The Indians were
closing in on him and his only chance
Of escape was to try to leap across the
chasm. ,s.f
Brady could hear the savages yell
ing in the woods only a short distance
away as he ran back toward them to
get a good start. Then turning, he
sped for the brink and putting all his
failing strength into final squirt, he
sprang for the opposite cliff. His
jump was little short and he struck
the bank a few feet below the edge.
The Indians stopped in amazement,
then as the scout scrambled up over
the edge, they opened fire.
They wounded him in the leg, delay
ing his flight, and In short time were
on his heels again. He came to a lake
and plunged in. STOPPING beneath the
broad pads Of a water lily, he breathed
through hollow reed while the saw
ages hunted In vain on the shores of
the lake. They found his bloody trail
TO the water edge and, believing that
! he had drowned rather than be cap
tured again, gave up the chase.

Frankfort, Ky, May 13-Grad-

state today will meet to reorgan-

districts last Saturday.
A letter outlining the proceed
ings of the first meeting of the
boards after the election has
been sent to the secretaries OF
the graded school boards over
the state by George Colvin, state
superintendent of public instruc-
tion. He says:
"All graded schools operating
under the general graded school
laws should have held their reg
u1ar election on the first Satur-
day of this month, and failure to
do so will result in vacancies in
the board. l trust you held your
election as provided for by law.
The members then elected and
hOld-OVer members should meet
at the school house on the sec
ond Saturday and reorganize the
board. The secretary for the
past year should call the meeting
to order and preside while the
new chairman is being elected
for the ensuing year. Then the
new chairman presides while a
secretary is elected for the ensu-
ing year. The secretary may be
a member of the board provided
he serves without pay; but MT
| member of the board can serve
for pay as its secretary, or as its
treasurer, or in its employ If
any capacity"

Tells ROTARIANS ALL
SHOULD live TO 100

There are $500 people in the
United States over 100 years of
age, according to DR.. Royal S.
Copeland, Health Commissioner
of the city of New York. In his
address at the Rotary Club DR..
Copeland said there was no rea-
son why every man and woman
IN the country should not live to
be 100.
"The chief offenders in wrong
living are you business and pro-
fessionar men," DR.. Copeland
shot at the Rotarians. During
Physical Culture Week, which is
here, make up your mind to do
your duty towards yourself by
daily exercises. Many business
men work hard at their desks all
week long and then take a week
end and play 8 or 10 sets of ten
MS on Saturday and Sunday and
wonder why they feel poorly the
next week. Daily exercise is the
panacea for what ails you. Make
it an every day affair. Take this
advice, even though l don't set a
good example myself.
Il weigh more than I should
Multiply the number of inches
you stand over 5 feet by 6 and
add ITO pounds and you will get
what your correct weight should
