Tel. 254 L HOW HE WAS J5AVED By WILLIS BEACH POTTER Copyright. 1910. by American Preaa Association. There bad beeu a lot o' cussed liens in Galloway county, and the people was but to find some un to string up fer a warnln'. Ole Man Thompson bud been murdered la bis bed and $L'00 taken. Bill Stlmson was beld up 00 tbe road and relieved of bis watcb aud cbaln. These and other crimes were committed, yet oo one was ar rested. About tbnt time my brother Tim come from Californy and was stayln' with me on the farm. Tim was as peaceable a feller as you ever see wouldn't hurt uobody. But be liked to bunt. and. it beln' lo tbe fall o' tbe year, when game was plenty. I got a lot o' my friends to go over Into Ma son county, where there was wood cock. We took a kit with us, calcu late' to be gone a week. , Waal, one evenin' when we was collect in' In camp all on us got lo ex cept Tim. When we sot down to sup per be wasn't there, aud when It was time to turn Iti we was obleeged to do It without him. 1 wanted to go out and bunt for him, but tbe rest 'lowed 1 couldn't find bim in tbe dark, that be'd got lost or somep'o and would turn up next rim. Waal, about midnight I was woke up by Tliu himself. "By gum. Tim!" I says. "Hare y' seen a ghost?" lie was the most skeered feller you ever seen white as tbe snow and bis teeth a cbatterln'. As soon as be could ketch bis breath he said: "They're comln' to bang me. I was watcbin' fer birds when I met man who looked at me kind o' queer. Be went oft" and come bHck with two oth er men. They all tied my bands and tuk me to a Brnall town. A feller was brought In, who looked at me and said, "That's bim." Then they all set arouod and talked me over. I knew tbey tuk me fer some un else, and there wasn't no use tryln' to make 'em think I wasn't. Most of 'em was for hangin' me right up at onct. They said If tbe law got a bolt of me I'd never be pun ished. I begged so bard for 'em to give me one day to prove who I was that at last tbey consented. "Tbey tuk me to some un's office anc" left me In charge of two of 'em. One of the two left me In charge of th. other, while be went off to git somep'c for 'em both to drink. He brought back a bottle, which tbey finished, then the other one, be went off anc" got another bottle, and by tbe time they'd drank that tbey was botl. druuk. First one went to sleep tber the other. I dug out and bere I am As soon as I'm missed I'll be follered.' I woke up tbe other men, Abe Wood ruff and Oliver Swayne, and we belt! a consultation. Ef they come to takt 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 ratber'n have 'em take him. 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. We wasn't fur from Jimtown, where there's a postotflce. and the railroad runs through It. While we was con sultln' we seen a man git up on a plat form aud hang a mall bag to one o' thetu posts what's used fer dellverin tbe bag" to a man in tbe mallear on pasln' train without its stoppln". Tbe man left the bag and went away. Tbe barkln' was comln' mighty near, and I concluded I'd go out and meet the posse and bave a talk with 'em. Restln' my shotgun across the pommel of my saddle. I rode forward, crossin' tbe track beside which the mall bag bung. looklu' In the night for all tbe world like a man swlngin' on a gallows. At fust It seemed it meant that my broth er would swing shore. Then all on a suddeut an Idee come to me. There was a faint light In tbe east when I met the party comln' down the road. I counted teu of 'em. "Hello!" I says. "What's up?" "Ylstidny," said one on 'em, "we caught the man that killed ole Thomp son. Sam Jones found bim bldln' In a wood. We tuk him and was keepln' bim under guard till tomorrer moruiu' to hang bim. Alf Andrews and Charlie Moore was watcbin' bim, but he got eiu both drunk and lit out.". 'Waal," says 1, "there's two crowds of us got onto the same purpose, and we got ahead of you. He was bldln' from us when you tuk him. When he escaped, like a fool, be run right agin us. We strung bim up at onct, fearlo' he'd git away If we didn't." 'You don't mean It?" 'Yas, we done It." "Wbar did you bang him?" "Right over there. I kin show bim to you, but we don't waut no Interfer ence with tbe body, since I give him hiy word of honor I'd send it to bis wife for burial." I tuk 'em wbar tbey could see tbe mall bag, but not very near It. "It looks all right," said tbe leader o' the party, "but I think we'd ought to see that It's our man." "No," I says. "I've done all I ort to do showln' you the corpse. We got buntlu' party OTcr there, and I'm shore none of 'em would let any one Inter fere." They consulted, and, seelu' we was armed and they wasn't, they concluded to turn around and go back. But tbey didu't doubt the mail bag was swing In' corpse. Tim went back to Californy. PHYSICAL TRAINING IS POPULAR WITH STUDENTS The movement Initiated at the L'ul versify of On-goo Inst yenr to lay a greater strews upon n. more general athletic training for all th student- within the Institution, with the pox slide ultimate end of limiting the ex tent of Inter-collegiate athletics. In already showing excellent results. Physical Director Hay ward report one hundred eighty men regularly playing hasketbull alone. Between class recitations the nudents haunt the gymuaMum, working out on the apparatus, on the mat, with the gloves, with basketball, handball and on the indoor track. Work In the gymnasium for the girls Is also a requirement, under the competent medical attention of the Women's Director, Dr. Bertha S. Stuart. As a result of this general athletic activity, the students, as a whole, probably enjoy letter health than at any other time In the history of the university. The departments also report letter work In classes, which they attribute largely to the health ler physical and mental condition ol the students. Tbe university au thorities are encouraging this gen eral athletic activity as much as pos sible, as It Is helping in the solution of problems which affect materially the welfare of the students. Begin nlng with the second semester In February, It Is the plan of the Physi cal Training Department to get every man In the university actively Interested in track, soccer, rugby, la crosse, baseball, or tennis.

King's Scepter Holds World's Biggest Diamond W T I NO UKOKUK V. of England la 1.4 now uble to display otUclally JLxL the two largest diamonds In the world. One of tbem, known as the Star of Africa, weighs 510'j carats und is set In the king's scepter. The other stone, w hlch weighs 31U 3-10 carats, is set in the imperial crown Just above tbe ermine band. The two diamonds are set so they can be easily removed and formed Into a pendant for tbe queen. Both of these stones were cut from the celebrated Culllnan diamond, which was found at the I'remier mine, near Pretoria, South Africa, Jan. 25. 1!K)5. The stone welshed 3.0L'4 carats, or about a pound and a quarter, before it was cut. and Its value was estimated CCLLINAN DIAMOND IN KINO'S SCEPTER, ACTCAL Bl.B. at from j,000,000 to $125,000,000. A a matter of fact, there was no rule by which Its value could be determined. It was seen at once 'iat the Jewel could not be sold commercially, and there were sentimental reasons against cutting It Into smaller Jewels that could be sold for the adornment of feminine beauty. Finally the stone was bought by the Transvaal government as a gift to King F.dward VII. He died before the stone was cut nnd mounted, and bis successor gets It. Under the law the Transvaal govern ment gets 00 per cent of the value of all diamonds mined In the country. The Culllnan was "sold" for Jl.000.0o0. so that the government only paid $400, 000 for tbe bauble. In addition to the two big stones, there were more than HOPS DIAMOND IN OKtlllNAL SETTING, AC TUAL H1ZK. a hundred smaller stones, ranglug In weight from ninety-two carats down to chips. Reports were printed lu New York a few days ago, saying that the fa mous Hope diamond, a beautiful blue white gem, had been cut up abroad, but this was proved to be untrue when a New York Jeweler announced that he had the stone and that It hud been In his possession for some time. The Hope diamond has been In pub lic notice a great deal In recent years. Lord Francis Hope, who married May Yohe, the actress. Inherited It from his father. Ills wife wore the gem on ths , stage in this country, but returned It to Lord Hope, who sold It to a syndi cate of Americans, who in turn sold it , to a syndicate In Paris. The Hope diamond Is for sale. Its present ow ner says, but he declines to , set a price on it. However, he says. ! he recently refused nn offer oT $J.Vt,000 front a western capitalist. j J jtf 'r ' I iff : j - - . it-, A COMPLETE LINE OF .Honest God At Honest Prices Can always be found at the up to date store of R.
