The silent majority consists of two two who desire to talk in the pres. ence of a woman, Most anybody would accept riches the burdens afterward. Pills are easier to take than exer- cise and consequently the world goes lame, Did any woman ever tiuly admire and trust another woman? Mrs. Grundy. The first mention of Mrs. Grundy is found in Morton’s clever comedy ‘Speed the Plow.” Farmer Ashfield, it table with his jug and pipe, is talk- ug to his wife on her return from mar- ki “Well, dame, welcome whoam, What news does thee bring vrom market?" “What news. husband? What | al- told you—that I'armer Grundy's t brought 5 shillings a quarter more than ours did.” “All the better foor he!” “Ah, the sun seems to shine on pur- pose for him.” *‘Come. come, missus, as thee has not the grace to thank God for prosperous times, dan’t three grumble when they be unkindly a bit.” “And 1 assure you Dame Grundy's butter was quite the crack of the mar- ket.” Be quiet. wool ye?

The other night after Harker was safe in bed there came a mysterious tapping below his window. Harker slipped out of his covers and cautlous— Iy raised the sash. “What's wanted?” he demanded, his teeth chattering. “I just wanted to tell you,” came a muffled voice, “that there’s a hand moving around just inside your cellar window.” With visions of burglars Harker picked up his revolver and slipped through the balls in his pajamas. iously he searched the cellar with ed candle, but it was empty. de on the sidewalk stood the stranger. “I don't see any burglars down here,” called Harker nervously. “Who said anything about burglars?* laughed the stranger. “Why. didn’t you call me out of bed to tell me that there was a hand mov- ing around near the cellar window ?” ‘“Sure. it's the dial on the gas meter. It works while you sleep.”—Philadel- phia Times, Conscience Versus Art. Shortly after Tennyson’s poem “The Vision of Sin" appeared an eminent mathematician sent the poet a letter that ran like this: “Dear Sir—I find in a recent poem of yours, entitled 'The Vision of Sin, the following unwarranted statement: ‘Every moment dies a man, and every moment one is born. I need hardly point out that this caleulation. if cor- rect, would tend to keep the sum total of the world’s population in a state of perpetual equipoise, whereas it is an established fact that the said popula- tion is constantly on the increase. 1 would therefore suggest that in the next edition of this poem the erroneous calculation to which I refer should be corrected as follows: ‘Every moment dies a man, and one and a sixteenth is born.’ 1 may add that the exact fig- ures are 1.167, but something must, of course, be conceded to -the laws of rhythm.” Puffs. “Miss Footlittle’s reputation and her compledou are very much alike.” “Meaning that they are both bril- liant. eb?” they are both made with a puff.”—Roston Transeript.

TARGET FOR MANY RIFLES Fugitive Walks From His Cabin Into the Opening and Scores of Bullets Are Sent in His Direction—Manages to Get Back to His Home and Re- turns the Fire, but None of the Posse Is Hurt. Winter, Wis., Oct. 10.—"Mike” Mad- den’s crack shots “got” John Deitz, as Fred Thorbahn said they would. That is, they shot him and they think he is seriously wounded, but he is ly- ing behind the logs of his cabin on the Thornapple river and no man dayes eard the lion in his den for fear that he still can shoot. Thorbahn and his men crept close to the cabin during the night, after they had been told that Deitz had re- jected all peace proposals and must be taken dead or alive. Two of them crept up to within 100 yards of the cabin and hid behind the pile of lum- ber in the rear of the building. About 9:45 o'clock, after an interminable wait which almost set the nerves of the newspaper correspondents, watch- ing from the woods of the clearing, on edge, Deitz and his som, Leslie, ap- peared and walked toward the wood- ile. Apparently they did not expect the ambuscade that had been prepared | for them. Leslie’s intention was evidently to go for a cow at the far side of the clearing. When he had gone abeut 250 yards a single shot was fired at him, followed by ten or more in quick succession. He jumped backwards and ran along the crest of the hill to- ward the back of several lumber piles. For 200 feet he was a large target. He weakened perceptibly and staggered slightly before he reached the cabin and it is supposed he was hit. Deitz Drew Score of Bullets. John Deitz, when the fusillade be- gan, was between the barn and the lumber piles, behind which the depu- ties were concealed. He started to- ward the cabin, receiving the full fire of the men behind the lumber. Sud- denly he pitched forward, went to' his knees and lay prostrate a moment. He scrambled to his feet and reached the house. It looked as if he had been badly hit. Mrs. Deitz, who was standing in the || yard when the firing began, also ran into the cabin after her husband, ap- parently without injury. While these movements were taking place the fusillade was comstant and came from all points of the compass. Rifles from one end of the big clearing spoke to rifies at the extreme other end. These duller detonations were penetrated by the reports of rifies and revolvers in the hands of deputies closest to the cabin at the lumber A well knoww American portrait | from any other town In the Philip- painter, armed with a fuil length por- pines.

Helen, aged fourteen, and Johnnie, aged seven, were both in the cabin. One. of them screamed loudly when the firing began. Neither John nor Leslie cartied a rifle. They may have had revolvers but made no attempt to use them. ‘When they were all within the shack |] five shots were fired back through the windows. Deputies Escape Injury. The war is now on and further de- velopments may come momentarily. None of the deputies were hit by Deitz’ fire. They were all carefully concealed among the stumps and un derbrush on the clearing. But they have a wholesome regard for Deitz’ marksmanship, even if he is severely wounded, and while they are now at- tempting to draw up closer to the cabin they are exercising the greatest care, for they know “Old Man Deitz” is lying behind those logs, furious and suftering, and with a murderous Win- get his revenge. i Just how seriously Deitz is hurt | cannot be told. The deputies think that the wounds are serious. It is be: lieved that at least two of the shots took effect in his back as he ran and it is possible that no further move will Be made. It is hoped that the extent of the “old man’s” injuries will necessitate the hoisting of the white flag. Over night the proximity of Deitz" hearthstone itself had been packed with deputies. Two men, Jack Brit- ton and Con Holland, had taken pos- session of his rock fort on the hill Fred Thorbahn, the deputy in charge, and Roy Van Alstyne had crawled:out upon the island in the Thornapple near which Deitz has a custom of going to fetch his cows.
