Muskogee, Okla.,, Dec. 27.—Negroes sre rapidly leaving Henryetta, where the lynching of the negro Garden oc- turred Tuesday following the murder of Albert Bates, a prominent white business man. The negroes were glven notice to get out of the town within forty-eight hours. A second attack was made on the Jail by a mob of citizens, who sought a one-eyed negro named Bill Smith, charged with inciting Garden to com- mit the crime. Sheriff Robertson however, spirited the man away and took him to Okmulgee. Jim Johnson, .a negro who gave Garden a rifle, was also taken to Ok- mulgee. Tell Quay and His Letters. The late Senator M. S. Quay of Penn- sylvania kept all the letters his constit- uents wrote to him asking for favors. He had stacks of them when his last fight for the senate came along. Then he sorted out the letters, eliminating those from people who were dead, and on the back of each letter wrote: Dear John or Bill—Do you remember when you wrote me this letter and do you remember that I did what was asked? I want your help now in my fight for the senate. Can I have it? The politiclans In Pennsylvania say those letters, malled to the original senders with Quay’s request on the backs of them, had as much as any one thing to do with Quay’s winning his fight.—Saturday Evening Post, Who Fra Diavolo Was. Fra Diavolo was the nickname given Michele Pezza, a celebrated renegade monk and Italian brigand, who was born in 1760. It should be noted that the opera of Auber has nothing in com- mon with. Fra Diavolo but the name Pezza was first a stocking weaver, then a soldier in the Neapolitan army, then a soldier in the pope’s service, and finally-he became a monk, but was ex- pelled. In the mountains of Calabria Pezza took to brigandage, and such was his notoriety and so great were his cruelties that the people nlcknamed him Fra Diavolo, It Is consoling to know that he was eventually executed In 1806.—New York American. Judged by Their Cats. “No, ma'nn,” sald an Irish maid of much experience as she returned to a New York intelligence office the other day “I didu't engage with that fam- lly. I dido't like the looks of thelr cat.” “Of thelr cat!” repeated the owner of the office In amazement. “Why, Ka- tle, I'm sure they wouldn’'t keep a cat that was in any way dangerous.” “Not dangerous, no, ma’am, but a restless, unhappy looking creature that didn't speak well for the family,” re- plied the girl. “I always judge a fam- ily by their cat--if they have one. A sleek, comfortable pussy who comes up and rubs against you means a quiet, good natured family and one that's not worrylng about ways and means,; but a nervous, unfriendly look- ing cat reflects a household which 18 on the verge of nervous prostration or financial ruln or some other horrible trouble. “I've been living with families and studylng their cats for twenty-five years, and I've never known the sign to fall. A famlly that can’t make its cat happy is one to make any servant miserable.”—New York Press. Psychologically Explained. Mrs. Flaherty, who earns her living and maintains two clean little rooms in an uptown tenement by going out to do washing and day’s work, has been a widow for many years, and en- tertalns a strong prejudice against marriage for any but the young, *'Tis all right at that time o' life,” she maintains, “but not for old people with gray hairs. Then ’tis onsuitable and the height o' foolishness.” Holding these opinions as she does, it was a severe shock to Mrs. Flaherty to learn that one of her best customers, a widow of threescore and tem, was about to be married for the second time. Almost tearfully she confided her sentiments to another patron. “Think of it! Her a-fixin’' all them fine clothes and takin’ as much pride In it as if she was to be a bride of twenty instead of an old woman that’ll never see seventy again! Why,” and her voice dropped to an awed whis- per, “at her time o' life I belleve 'tis the ravin’ o’ death is on the woman!” —New York Times. A Scotch Excuse. A canny Scot was brought before a magistrate on the charge of being drunk and disorderly. “What have you to say for yourself, sir?’ demanded the magistrate. “You look like a re- spectable man and ought to be asham- ed to stand there.” up in bad company fra Glascow,” humbly replied the prisoner. ° “What sort of company?”’ “A lot of teetotalers!” was the star- tling response. “Do you mean to say teetotalers are bad company?’ thundered the magls- trate. “I think they are the best of company for such as you.” “Beggin’ yer pardon, sir,” answered the prisoner, “ye're wrong; for I had a bottle of whusky an’ I had to drink it all myself!”—Reynolds’ Newspaper. Strong Soup. In the life of Willlam Stokes, writ- ten by his son, it is told how Stokes was sent over to Dublin during the great famine to show the people how to make soup. Stokes asked a starving beggar why she' did not go and get some of the soup that was being freely distributed. 3 “Soup, Is it, your honmor? Sure, it isn’t soup at all” “And what is it,. then?” inquired Stokes. “It is nothin’, your honor, but a quart of water bofled down to a pint to make it sthrong!” This is the soup maigre which Ho- garth caricatured in his picture of the French troops at Calais. — London Standard. Mixed Liquors Barred. Rory MacSnory was the village blacksmith and one of the most pow- erful singers In the choir of the kirk at Auchleucherles. To show off his voice to full advantage he would vary his ‘'style from bass to alto and from alto to treble In the same hymn, The minister had long observed that Rory’s methods were upsetting the gen- eral melody of the congregation’s sing- Ing, and at length he resolved to bring the culprit to book, “Hymn 34, he announced, “and a’ thegither. And, Mr. MacSnory, it ye're tae sing tenor, sing tenor, or if ye're tae sing bass, sing bass, but we'll hae nae mair o’ yer shandygaff!”—Dundee Advertiser. The Reason. All sorts and conditions of men have excellent reasons for thelr position in life. Illustrated Bits tells of a tramp who had no {lldsions about the cause of his own condition: Mrs, Finehealth (at hotel entrance)— No. I have no money to spare for you. I do not see why an ablebodied man like you should go about begging. Lazy Tramp—I s'pose, mum, it's fer about the same reason that a healthy woman like you boards at a hotel, in- stead of keeping house. A Rebuff. “Do you think your father would lke me as a son-in-law?” “Yes. T believe he would.” “Oh, joy! 1"— “Papa and I never agree about any- thing, you know.” Feminine Nerves. There are nervous women; there are (hypernervous women. But women so nervous that the continual rustle of a Bilk skirt makes them nervous—no, there are no women 80 nervous as that! Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason Is left free to combat It. ~Jefferson. One For the Debating Club. A group of half a dozen physicists, all eminent; u sheet of paper; a pencil. ‘With the latter one of the group draws a pulley, & cord over the pulley, a tree, a bough from which the pulley hangs. To one end of the cord is attached a stone; to the other cord clings a mon- key. The stone balances the monkey. If the monkey proceeds to climb up the cord, what will happen? Will'the stone rise or fall? Heated discussion; breakup of the party; no resuit. Can lm reader help to settle this question? “I am verra sorry, sir, but 1 cam’ |’ Both Were Collectors. A local newspaper artlst got a letter ote day from a man over In Indlana who sald he was making a collection of sketches. “I have drawings from well known newspaper artists in near- Iy every state in the Unlon,” the In- dinna man. wrote, “but I have none from Ohio, I have seen some of your work, and I think it {s good. If you will send me some little sketch for my collection I shall have it framed.” The artist noticed from the letter- head that the Indiana man was con- nected with a bank in one of the small towns over In the state of literature, That gave him a hunch, and he wrote back as follows: “I am making a collection of ten dollar bills. I haven't secured speci- mens from every state in the Union, but I have several tens and a few twenties, and I am particularly - anx- fous to haye a ten dollar bill from In- diana. I notice that you are employed in a place where ten dollar bills are kept, and if you send me one for my collection I shall be glad to have it framed.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Presence of Mind. Although it is not given to every- body to know exactly -what to do at the right moment, one woman at least can lay claim to a presence of mind which may, without undue exaggera- tion, be considered phenomenal. This woman’s llittle boy was alling with some trivial childish complaint, and the doctor ordered him some medicine, He had just taken his dally dose when his mother sald, with some ex- citement: “I quite forgot to shake that bottle afore glein ye't, Johnnle. Come here.” Johnnie obeyed, and, much to his as tonishment and disgust, was subject- ed to a vigorous shaking from the strong arms of the parent, at the conclusion of which he was lald down with the remark: “There, my laddle, that'll dae. It should be gey weel mixed up noo, I'm thinkin’, but don’t let me forget again.” Johnnie promised.—Pearson's Weeck- Iy. A Wardroke In a Hat. Grandfather De Voe is an artist who appreciates fne millinery. His young married daughter, however, was prac- ticing domestic economy when a hat, a beautiful creation in real lace, ar- rived for little Elise from her devoted grandparent, whose eye had sur- rendered to this bit of baby apparel the moment he saw it in a department store. “That hat is entirely too extravagant for this family,” remarked the young mother. “T'll take it back and see what I can do.” A few days later the grandfather called to see the baby in the new hat. “Do let me see how she looks in it,” he sald. “And how did you like it?” “Very much, father, thank you. They gave me two hats, two dresses, a sweater and 39 cents in change for it.” —Youth’s Companion. Signs of Long Life. In view of the diversified testimony of present day centenarians on the sub- Ject of longevity and its causes, it is Interesting to get a little light on the subject from Queen Elizabeth’s time. “Bacon took a deep Interest in lon- gevity and its carmarks,” says a phy- slcian, “and Bacon’s signs of long life and of short life are as true today as they ever were. You won't live long, Bacon pointed out, if you have soft, fine hair, a fine skin, quick growth, large head, early corpulence, short neck, small mouth, brittle and separat- ed teeth and fat ears. Your life, bar- ring accidents, will be very lengthy if you have slow growth, coarse hair, a rough skin, deep wrinkles in the fore- head, firm flesh, a large mouth, wide nostrils, strong teeth set close together and a hard, grisly ear.”” The Claw of the Devil. In the middle ages people recognized witches and possessed persons by seek- ing on their bodies for what was called the claws of the devil. It was a more or less extensive part of the skin In which the subject was insensible to any touch or prick. The expert Intrust- ed with this work would close the eyes of the subject and, armed with a sharp needle, prick here and there the differ- ent parts of the body. The sufferer was to answer with a cry to each prick, and the claw of the devil on a certaln spot was recognized from the fact that he did not cry when this spot was examined. — From “The Major Symptonis of EHysteria,” by Plerre Janet. Learn to Be Genial. There are many people who excuse themselves from the little familiarities and kindnesses of life on the ground that they are not natural to them. These people say they are reserved by disposition and cannot be free and easy In meeting other people. But we can learn-to row a boat or to wrlte shorthand or to speak a new language. That unaffected simplicity of address which made Ruskia so approachable to child or man was the work of a long life’s discipline, The Unveiling. Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards, they simply unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and im- perceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow and wax strong, we grow and wax weak, and at last some crisis shows us what we have become.— Canon Westcott. > PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS PAZO OINTMENT is guaranteed to cure any case of Itching, Blind.
