Being Sued for
$4,000

After the evidence was all in,
my attorneys, Major L. P. Nc
Lendon and Jones Fuller, ad-
dressed the jury. AS they pro-
ceeded l began to wonder how
the world could have remained,
all these years, so Indifferent to
my exceptional virtues; and by
the time they finished l had
concluded that a hat was no
proper headgear for me at all
I ought to go about surmounted
by a halo.
But alas! what different por-
trait of me was presented a few
moments later by the plaintiffs
attorney, Carl Wiegandl He
was telling the jury why l should
be mulcted of $4,000 in dam
ages for having alienated my
sisters affections from her hus-
band, and l learned that | was
a conspirator of the deepest dye
who had fairly reveled in exer-
cising my malign influence.
What l had done, he said, was a
blow at American civilization,
and it was the jury's duty to
show the public that such con-
duct would not be tolerated. So
| had to change my mind: it was
not a halo | ought to be wearing,
but cloven hoofs and a forked
tail.
Every now and then, at the
conclusion of a passionate appeal
for retribution, Mr.. Wiegand
would ask: "And who was it
then who stepped into the arena
with poisonous counsel?" And,
answering his own inquiry, he
would turn and point to me, who
sat about three feet from him,

Another variation on an old
theme. A friend of mine said, to
me a day or SO ago: "My wife
told me she wanted me to go
over to Durham with her and
help her pick out a hat; so l
went, and she told me which one
to pick, and l picked it."

ment at the versatility of Ar

Card on Way 13 Years
C. s. Mangum, Jr., Gets Message That
Went through Antarctic

Charles S. Mangum, Jr., re-
ceived Saturday a post card
which was mailed 13 years ago
and which, on it's journey to
Chapel Hill, was carried over
the Antarctic ocean by the cele-
brated explorer, Roald Amund-
sen.
Charles's uncle, William H.
Payne, now retired from the
United States Army as captain,
was in Colon, Panama Canal
Zone, in 1913 when Amundsen's
boat, the Fran, came by on its
way to the region of the South
Pole. The explorer had had
thousands of postcards printed,
with a picture of his boat on
one side and on the other, a.
long with space for the address,
the sentence: "This card will be
carried by the Fran across the
Polar Sea and afterwards con-
veyed by post to the addressee. "
Billy Payne-this is the name
by which he is still known in
Chapel Hill-bought one of
these cards and addressed it to
his nephew Charles.
Why it should have been in
transit as long as 13 years, even
though it did go on an Antarc-
tic exploration, is not known by
the Mangums here. Perhaps it
was slowed away somewhere in
Scandinavia and forgotten. 1t

and a second postnark record

Eben Alexander Wants Grow;
He Will Teach 1t How to Talk

came across, on one of his walks,
a dead crow that had been
shamefully maltreated, and it
was his belief that this was the
Alexander pet.
There is a negro named Alf
Minnow living south of Chapel
Hill who might get a crow" )"

and he promises to give all the

Eben is hoping to get here for
commencement in June, when
his class, 1901, holds a reunion
but a large part of his practice
is assisting babies into the
world, and there are so many of
these newcomers scheduled for
arrival in Knoxville, in the next
few weeks, that he is uncertain
when he can make the trip
hither. However, he has
thought of a perfect way to
have a crow looked after in the
meantime. He directs that Who
ever captures one shall take it
to his sister, Mrs. A. H. Patter-
sion, who, he assures all poten-
tial croW-capturers, will care
for it until he comes. Mrs. Pat
terson, when l mentioned the
matter to her, did not seem very
enthusiastic over the prospect

how the Pattersons would quail.

Captures a Big Eagle

Lock Newlin, a 16-year-old
boy, took alive a grown-up
black eagle near his home,
just inside Alamance coun-
ty, a mile or so from Bethlehem
church, Saturday. He shot at it
and broke it's wing and then,
when it fell, he and a negro
companion captured it. 1t
measured five feet, eight inches
from tip to tip of the wings.
More than a hundred people
visited the Newlin home Sun
day to look at the giant bird.

Alexander of Knoxville, boy
hood friend of mine here in
Chapel Hill, enclosing 81 and di-
recting that l acquaint the pub
lie with his desire to buy a
young crow. The advertisement
appears in another column of
this issue.
II want it to take the place of
the entertaining animal we had
on our place in Chapel Hill many
years ago." writes the physi-
clan.
| remember we'll the bird to
which he alluded. 1t was a
talking crow. The Alexan-
der home was next to the Epis-
copal church-where the wom-
ems building now stands-and
one of the crows diversions was
to sit on the rock wall during
church services and, every now
and then, address to the wor-
shippers the invitation to Go
to hell"
| do not know whether or not
it was Eben, then a student in
the University, who taught il
such language. But one may be
sure that, if it was, he will give
better instruction to his new
bird. For in Knoxville he has
become a pillar of society and ar
elder in the Presbyterian church
and | have no doubt that the
crow he imports from here, in.
stead of being brought up .
cursor, will be taught to lead iT
prayer.
Eben's father, whose name ht
bears, was professor Of Greel
here in the University for a
bout a quarter of a century, anC
he got the bird as a pet for the
family. But it soon became &
public institution-the pride OF
the village.
It flourished for about three
years, around 1900, and then
one day disappeared. Experts
in bird lore said at the time that
domesticated crows were always
hated by those who remained in
the wild state and that this one
was probably killed by gangsters
of his own species. Kemp P

sor, having retired from the

mineral is called Hillebrandite. and Is
found in no other place in the world.
Is discovery was marked by series
Of explosions in the mine when the

explosions had the sound and the eff

out great gaps in the tunnel. They
are believed to be due to high pres

mineral formed was insufficient for It,
