HOW HE
WAS SAVED
. By WILLIS BEACH POTTER ' .
Copyright WA by American Prem
Association.
There had been a iot o' cussedutss
Jo Galloway county, and the people
Mras bot to find ttoine ua to string up
fer a warnin'.. Ole Man Thompson
had been murdeml In his bed and
$200 taken. Hill Stlmson was held up
on the roud and relieved of tin watch
and chnin. These and other crimes
were committed, yet no one was ar
rested. About ihut time my brother Tim
ome from Callforny and was stnyin'
with me on the farm. Tim was as
peaceable a feller as you ever see
wouldn't hurt nobody, But be liked
to hunt. and. It Win, In the fall o the
year, when jraiuc was jileuty. 1 got a
t my ..frletuls to go over into Ma
on coitntjY where there wax wood-fin-k.
VV took a kit with us. caUu
latin' to ie cmie a Week ;
. VVaaJ. ne ereuin' w hen we was
ollntiu' iu tniup ail ou us Kot in ex
i ept Tim. When we sot down to sup
Kr he, wasn't, there, uud when It was
time to turn la we was obleeged to da
It without him. ' 1 wanted to go out
and bunt for him. but the rest 'lowed
1 couldn't find him In the dark, that
he'd got lost or somep'n ' and would
turn, up next day., . ; t; '
, waau aoout mtamgnt l was wose op
by Tim himself. ,, , '
-By gum. TlmrM says. -Have y'
seen a ghost?" '
He was the most skeered feller you
ever seen white as the unow and his
teeth a chatterln'. As soon as he
could ketch his breath he said: ;
"They're comin' to hang me. ; I was
watchin' fer birds when 1 met a man
who looked at me kind o queer. He
went off and come back with two oth
er men. They all tied my hands and
tuk me to a Kmall town. A feller was
brought In, who looked at me and said.
"Thafs him." Then they all set around
and talked me over. 1 knew they tuk
me fer some un tlHe. and there wasn't
no use tryln' to make em think I
wasn't.. Most of 'em was for hnngln
me right up at onct They said if the
law got a bolt of me I'd never be pun
ished. I begged so hard for 'em to give
me one day to prove who I was that
at last they consented. V f
."They tuk me to some nn's"bfflce and
left me In charge of two of em. One
of the two left .me in' charge of the
other, while he went off to glt somep'n
for 'em both to drink. He brought
back a bottle, which they finished,
then the other one, he went off and
got another, bottle, and by the time
they'd drank that they was both
drunk. FJrst one went to sleep then
the other. ' I dug out and here I am.
As soon as I'm missed 111 be follered."
, I woke up tie other men, Abe Wood
ruff and Oliver Swayne. and we held
a consultation. Ef they come to take
Tim there'd probably be enough of "em
to take him in spite of all we could
do, but we was four shotguns In the
party and concluded to put up a fight
rather'n have 'em take blm. About 4
o'clock In .the mornln we beard the
barkln o' dogs, and I knowed they'd
find Tim shore, since they was after
him with bloodhounds, v ,
We wasn't fur from Jlmtown, where
there's a postofBce.1 and the railroad
runs through If While we was con
sultln' we seen a man git up on a plat
form and hang a mail bag to one' o'
them posts what's used fer dellverin
the bag to a man In the mallear on a
pasin' train without Its stoppin. The
man lef the bag and went away. The
barkln' was comin mighty near, and I
concluded I'd go out and meet the
posse and have a talk with 'era. R jstin'

suddpnt an Idee couie to roe, There
was a faint light-In the east when I
met the paijty comin' down the road.
I counted ten of 'em.
"Hello!" 1 says. "What's up?" ,
"Ylstiday." said one on 'em we
caught the man that killed ole Thomp
son., Sam Jones found blm hldln' In a
wood.. We tuk him and was kecpin'
him under guard till tomorrer mornin'
to hang him. Alf Andrews and Charlie
Moore was watchin' him, but he got
'em both drunk and lit out"
"Waal." says I, "there's two crowds
of us got onto the same purpose, and
we got ahead of you. . He was hldln'
from us when you tuk him. When be
escaped, like a fool, he run right agin
us. We tflruug him up at onct, fearin'
he'd git away If we didn't."
"You don't mean it?". '
"Yas, we done it." , '
"Whar did "you hung blm 7"
' "Right ov.er there. I kin show him
to you, but we don't want no interfer

They consulted, and. seeia' we was
armed and they wasn't, they concluded
to turn around and go back. But they
didn't doubt the mall bag was a swing
In' corpse.
Tim went back to Callforny.

Cannot Overcome. .
Few are the steamer passengers who
fall to visit the wireless office aboard
ship to watch the operation of the In
struments and to question th oper
ator. Needless to say. the technical
nnderstanding of the well meaning
vfsitors is a variable quantity. The
nperator must listen to wondering ex
clamations, original suggestions 'fo;
the Improvement of the service, dis
courses ou the relations between wire
less telegraphy and spiritualism and
other doubtful topics with uniform
courtesy. At times, however, the
strain is too great. It was a lady pas
senger with an eye for details who
came to the wireless room and looked
wonderlngly In.
"Oh, here's the wireless! May I
come In? Isnt It wonderful to think
of sending those those 'waves you
call them waves, don't yon? , How fas
cinating to work at this! Are those
Jars filled with water?"

EIGHT CENTS ASDAY. (l
v
Workers' Pay In. England When Board
- Was a ShUlina Week. ..
; There Was a time when a workman
In England received 8 cents a day as
an ordinary wage, when skilled , ar
tisans commanded lij cents a day and
when women worked in the field ' at
such tasks as reaping straw, hoeing,
planting beans and washing sheep
for 2 cents a day, and a wise student
of the subject has expressed the opin
ion that the British workman of that
day was better. off than he has ever
been since then. , .' r :y
r That sounds paradoxical But the
explanation Is this: . , The workman
who sold his services for 8 cents a
day could buy good beef or mutton for
1 cents a pound. Wheat cost him on
the average only ,18 cents a bushel.
He could get board for 12 to 18 cents
a week. The pay he would receive for
fifteen weeks' services would suffice
to purchase a supply of suitable food
stuffs, according to the standard of his
time (consisting; of wheat, malt and
oatmeal); to maintain his family for
an entire year. ,
Under these circumstances 8 cents a
day Increased to 12 cents in harvest
time was a fair wage, and "times
were good" for the average workman.

Opera In Dumb Show.
The late Clara Novello In her reml-,
niscences tells how Malibran once ap
peared In f'SonnambuIa" without ut
tering a note. She . had taken' cold
and was prevented from singing, at
the last moment, though crowds of
early comers already filled the house.
"On the manager telling her. In de
spair, that, besides loss of money,
these, disappointed people would be
dangerous she said, i . can't speak
above my breath; I should have to tlo
it in dumb showr Bonn at oa;e
caught at this outburst as if seriourl
meant 'and on his knees be?sed lie:1
to try this, and she, fired by the no v
elty, did so. The grateful public r;iv
ed.ln praise of this surprising tour de
force, and the sensation It made filled
the papers." . '
Bathing Machines.
Somebody has Inquired why "bath
ing machines," the comfortablo priva
cy of which for ocean bathing has
never attracted bathers In this coun
try, are called machines, remarking
that there is nothing of a machine
about them except the horse which
driwfl them to the beach. The answer
has been found In the new Oxford
Dictionary. It appears that a "ma
chine" was originally a "structure of
any kind, material or Immaterial," and
has nofhlng to do with machinery, a
later word. Ships were called ma
chines, and It would have been proper
to speak of a pulpit as a machine.

The Indorsement of checks !s a very

story will show, it, too, has its diffi

A woman went Into a bank where
she had several times presented checks
drawn to Mrs. Lucy B. Smith. This i
time the check was made to the order
of Mrs. M. J. Smith. "M. J. were her
husband's initials. She explained this
to the paying teller and asked what '
Bhe should do;
"Oh, that is all right," he snid. ;Just
Indorse It as it is written there." ,
She took the check and after much
hesitation said, "I don't think I can
