EASY TO TELL HIS THOUGHTS
Little PecullarltIes Of Theodore Vail
Revealed Much to Friends and
Business Associates.

There was nothing eccentric about
Theodore N. Vail, but he had certain
little peculiarities of manner. From
his biographer, Albert Bigelow Paine,
we learn that for one thing he was alb
sent-minded
Once, says Mr.. Paine, when Mr.. Vail
was starting on one Of his many trips
to the Pacific coast and had invited
his niece to accompany him he turned
to her abruptly at the moment of de-
parture: well. good-by, Kate" he
said, I'm sorry you're not coming
with me-"
Her prompt reply that she was 60
Ing both startled and amused him.
His thoughts seemed always to re-
Quire some sort of physical outlet.
When listening to anyone he had a
habit of making small pencil drawings
--curlicues, geometrical shapes and
letters carefully shaded They showed
that he was interested In what was
being said When he was not inter-
ested he would pull out q handker-
chief and fold and refold 1t on his
knee down to the smallest subdivision.
Those who knew him could easily tell
when he was not enjoying a situation,
for then the handkerchief would In
variably appear, and the folding con-
tinue until the suffering ended

Scottish Gardeners Valued.

Scottish gardeners are being ex-
ported to all parts Of the world. A
notable instance of the value In which
the Scottish gardener is held, is the
engagement by United States mil
lionaire, of Scotsman for his private
grounds, at salary Of $1,000 year.
Not many years ago the man was get
ting few dollars quarter In Lon

London park can record several In
stances Of his men from across the
border getting very high salaries for
private establishments on this side Of
the Atlantic. There Is one gardener
of Scottish origin in South London
park who says he has "mown the
grass" in most corners of the earth,
including remote parts of South Amer
lea. A high percentage Of the gar
deners in London public parks are
Scots, and more than one supervisor
can boast Of his clan.

Water 80 Cents a Gallon.

"RETAlN THE LOVERS LANES"
Sentiment In Thousands Of Hearts
Pleads That They May Never Be-
come Great Highways.

A little gray cottage stands on a
hilltop. Below the hill runs the cross
road. There Is not much travel on
the road-it serves to connect two
highways.
Oftentimes the crossroad takes its
way close to the foot of some deeply
wooded knoll and sometimes 1t goes
over a creek, Quivering under its icy
cover. Then the two ends Of the road
meet by means of q little bridge, where
the hoofbeats Of the horse echo loud
and the sound of the motor becomes a
giant dynamo. Sometimes the cross
road is overarched with trees, as 1t Is
below the gray cottage, and the sum-
mer sunlight only filters through In
patches-such compelling, mysterious
intimacy as there Is to the crossroad
then.
The young folks call the crossroad
flowers lane" The old folks used to
call 1t flowers lane" when they were
young and drove under the arched
branches or jingled over the road in
sleighs, while the round moon laid the
shadows of the black branches meet
ing overhead In etchings on the snow.
Lovers lane"-every county owns
one. There was a lovers lane In
Sangamon county, Illinois, and Abe
Lincoln walked along 1t with Ann
Rutledge In the '30s-soldiers sang
about lovers lane"-may all the lit
tie crossroads that now are lovers
lanes never, never become arterial
highways Chicago Daily News.

Lou Ellen dear we miss you,
More than tongue can tell
God took YOU from US,
For He doeth all things well.
We miss your sweet face day by day
And your kindness since you passed

Though your troubles are all DER,
A nd your cares have flown away,
We will love you tomorrow
AS well as we do today.
The many years you have been with us
Our hearts you have won,
And then have to leave us,
But God will be done.
Just little while since God called you
From this world of ours,
10 walk alone
Through the beautiful path of flowers
You left us sad and with broken heart
And it is hard that we have to part.
We pray each night and day
Since you passed away
For God to bless us
Watch DER and protect US.
You have gone but not forgotten,
Lou Ellen dear,
May your soul be at rest,
That God will hold you
Firmly and closely to his breast.

Jackson Jail Authorities CUES ton keIiy's
Getting Knife There.

Jackson. Miss, Especial IN Winona
Times. Enquiry IS being made into
the mystery of how Nancy f. Kel-
y, condemned to be hanged at Lea
kesville yesterday. secured the knife
which he used to cut his throat Just
before the hour set for his execution
Kellv's statement that he got it from
Jail companion while he was being
held here in Jail in Jackson, is dis
counted by the jail authorities. who
declare that it would not have been
possible, as prisoners are thorough
ly searched before they are put In
their cells. and they are certain that
Kelly did not get the knife here.
About an hour before the time for
the execution, Kelly's wife tele-
phoned the governor over long dis
lance and made a last appeal for
clemency but the governor refused
TO interfere.
A letter to Shift. Valley from Jack
son, Miss, jailer few days after KEEL
~ suicide, stated that on account of
so many prisoners being sent 10 from
over the state to his Jail. that he
could not keep condemned men in
cell to themselves and that Kelly and
Hunter were locked in same cell Tor
several days and seemed to be quite
pals, and thatit was hard to be sure
at'something was not slipped into
Jail when SO many folks we're visiting
prisoners as was the case there.
