was arrested for assault upoi Mrs. Kel

Sbortly before noon' Andrews ' was
taken from the jtll to the court bouse
and arraigned before ludce Pao. tn

and in a trembling voice pleaded guilty.
Judge Page then sentenced him' to be
banged, and Sheriff Nelson, together
with Deputy Sheriff Dryden. started to
remove the prisoner to jail. Just as
they reached the outer door, some one
shouted. "Come on, boys, let's take the
damn nigger, and a rnsb was made for
the sheriff and bis deputy. Blow after
blow with clubs, bludgeons and pistol
butts were rained upon the head of the
prisoner, in spite of the. efforts of the
officers to shield him.
Judge Page ran out of the court room
and implored the crowd to let justice
take its Coarse, but be might just as well
have talked to the . wind. , The sheriff
and his deputy were soon overpowered,
and then the maddened crowd pounced
upon the negro, threw him- to the
ground and kicked him into complete
inrensibiiity. Meanwhile a rope bad
been procured, and picking up the inan

neck of the dying man and dragging the
bidy to a tree within a hundred yards
of the court house door, threw the rope
over a limb and swung the body Into

fired into Andrews, and he was left

Ko it was Done by Some fe HaaaV
shir Boys In 1881. .. .
Mr. Brlsss asks lenvn f .n xt
Hampriilre elephant story. He was brought
, up in Keene, and there, in August, 1831
; every boy was excited by the sight of pla
cards announcing the advent of- "a great
natural curiosity," nothing less than "a
living female elepbantt "admittance
18 14 cents; children half price." ' -
The days of Barnum had not yet come
and so far as Mr. Briggs knows, this was
. the first elephant that ever set foot in the
- Granite State. Of course every boy was
bound to see it. But how? Ninepencea
did not grow on every bush, and some
onemingwaa necessary. The boys "got
together in convention," like a ooinmittee
of ways and means, and not without re
. suit. .
- The elephant was exhibited in the day
time and was driven from town to town
in the darkness of night. The boys found
out in some way that it would be driven
Into Keene over a certain road Prison
v street On this road, at a point about hall
a mile from the hotel, was a large com
mon, and half a mile farther away was a
bridge over Beaver brook. The boys laid
their plans to see the elephant at the ex
pense of a wagon load of shavings and a
peck of potatoes.
. These were deposited on the common.
Then boys were stationed at short Inter
vals along : the road, beginning at the
bridge. The moment the elephant arrived
at the bridge the first hoy was to shout
"Hello I'! at the top of his voice and start
on the run for the common. The next
boy, hearing the shout, was to do likewise,
and so on down the line. - - -
Well, the night came, and with it the
elephant. But when the first boy saw it,
he was literally struck dumb with aston
ishment. As he could not shont, he waited
to see the creature oross the bridge. When
she put her foot on it, "however, she felt
that it was not safe and refused to proceed,
and the men in charge had to drive her
through the stream.
By this time the sentry had recovered
his voice, and with a vigorous "Hello!"
started down the road. Before the elephant
reached the common the boys were all there
and the shavings were in a blaze. : Py the
light of the fire the elephant caught sight
of the pile of potatoes, and no persuasion
oould get her past them till they were de
voured. ,, And there stood the boys looking on,
with their money, if they had any, safe in
their pockets.
Mr. Briggs declares that this line of boys
was the original telephone, and that the
modern instrument dates back to this noc
turnal New Hampshire beginning he
proves by the fact that the word "Hello"
is still the telephone signal the country
over. Youth's Companion.

Flips walked Into one of the big hotels j
oi tne ureezy uity, shook bands with the

assigned him and was half way to the door

man with extended hand. He called Flips
by name, asked after several Detroit peo
ple and showed a disposition to keep up
talk, i But Flips declined to thaw out,
winked at the clerk and congratulated
himself that he knew a bunko artist when
he saw the article.
. The stranger passed through to the bar
and Flips was at once accosted by a large,
well dressed, rather long haired young
fellow. "Did that man try his game on
you?." was the salutation. "Out our way
he wouldn't last long. But it's different
.here. Let's follow him and see if we can't
land him " ;
"Oh, what's the use. It isn't worth the
time," and Flips looked superior. Then
the two fell into conversation and Flips
was delightfully entertained by the stories
of the westerner. At length they went out
together just to look about. , In the morn

feet occupied another. It was adingyjplace

Curry the Farm Horses.
Horses on the farm do not have the sleek
look that horses in the city liveries have.
Neither will they aooompllsh so much
work. The difference is partly owing to
the fact that the horse in the city has a
large proportion of grain, while the farm.
horse, even .while working, gets most '
-his nutrition from hay. But grooming
has also a great deal to do with the. supe
rior slickness of the city horse' coat! The
ourryoomb is not so much used aa it should
be on farm horses,
We know, says ThePrlnoe Edward Island
A grioulturlst, many places where the brush
and currycomb are seldom used, exoept
while the, horse Is shedding his coat. But
used at any time it promotes the secretion
of oil, which moistens the ooat and makes
; sBine. A well groomed horse is usually
well fed. But if the grooming were thor
oughly done at least once a day, the horse
would keep In good condition with less
food than it now receives.
Good grooming undoubtedly aids diges
tion, as rubbing the body promotes diges
tion in people, and is an excellent substi
tute for exercise for those who do little
muscular work. .
A Wonderful Blind Pianist.
Signor Arturo Nuttini is a blind pian
ist who is not a freak, but a player of
remarkable ability. He was born in
Florence 88 years ago and became to
tally blind in his first year, but he now
plays the most difficult rhapsodies of
. Liszt, sonatas of Beethoven and other
classical compositions with wonderful
technic and! expression.- While Pa
derewski and his contemporaries play
Xiiszt's "Hungarian Rhapsodic No. 6,"
one of the most difficult compositions,
in a transposed key, Signor Nuttini
plays it in the original key six sharps.
The way Signor jNutram learns ms
pieces is curious. He has a little ma
chine, consisting of a fiat metal board,
in which there are tiny grooves, over i
which he fits a Bheet of thick paper,
and, with the aid of a little ruler and
awl, perforates all hismnsio in a pecul
iar manner as his interpreter reads it
from the regular staff. No music ia too
intricate for him to copy, and often aft
er once copying the composition he can
play it without first running his sensi
tive fingers over the .perforations. San

MR. RUST GETS A LETTER. .
Delayed Because Addressed to Him tTnder
Ilia ChemlcaL Name. ' " i .
I As curious a letter ' as has been re-'
ceived iiansnfl Cityfor many months,
reached the posic Clce recently, and after
a great display of learning on" the part
of some of the clerks it was finally de
livered to the man for whom it was in
tended. The distributing clerk who first
got hold of the letter,!- looked at it in
despair. It was plainly evident that the -writer
of the letter had been burning
the midnight oil in an attempt to baffle
the postoffice force. j
t The first line contained ' thi letters
"J. S. FE208." The letters were plain
enough, but what did they mean? The
next line began with a large A, then
-there was a carefully executed "drawing
of what had the appearance of tl bar
ber's comb, then a small a, and finally
a representation of a house, drawn by
one whose early education had been sad
ly neglected. . " 1 j
What should have been the third line
of the address was in the shape of a
more or less accurate map of Kansas
City, showing the junction of the, streets
in that vicinity. -The last line was an
other map', showing the boundaries of
the state of Missouri - 1 : : j
r It was plain enough that the letter
was for some one who lived in the state
of Missouri and in Kansas City.: It did
not take a great Btretchjof imagination
to discover that the comb and the sketch
of a house had some vague reference to
the Acorn a building. So far it was easy
sailing, but who was the mysterious "J."
a.FE208?" - -v-
After puzzling his brain for a long
time, without any good result, the clerk
took the letter to Night Clerk Canfield,
who is supposed to be able to guess all
sorts of conundrums. ..v ' j
i "I can tell you a part of it, " said he.
"I can tell you that 'FE208 j are the
chemical symbols for ferrio oxide. . Now
if yon can find out who he is you are all
right" - . . ;
! Still the distributing clerk was unable
to solve the question. He went about
asking every one what he knew about
ferrio oxide. He finally encountered one
man who was more of a chemist than
the others, and he imparted to him the
information that ferrio oxide in common
parlance is called "rust" i :

i HE GOT HIS ANSWER.
Bat It Was Very Different From What
He Had Expected.
As the train pulled out of Chicago a
quiet, gentlemanly looking man entered
the buffet car, and, ensconcing himself
in a comfortable chair, drew put a long
cigar and entered deeply into pis paper.
He remained so quiet and retained his
seat so long that another passenger,
whose bearing distinctly stamped him
as a commercial traveling man, one of
the kind full of chatter and curiosity,
could no longer restrain himself. Ad
dressing the quiet gentleman, he in
quired, "Traveling east?" . ;
Slowly removing his cigar, the gen
tleman turned and looked at his ques
tioner with slightly elevated eyebrows,
replying, "Yes." r ,
"New York?" ' .
"Yes.V
! "Pleasure?" , -! ,
"Yes and no."
' 'Great place, New York. Ever been
there before?" -
i; "No."
"I'm- going home this tripNew
York, you know."
The gentleman made no reply, hut
resumed his paper. After a little silence
the commercial man began again. .
"I'm with C. &. Co., on Broadway..
If you drop in, I'll show you over the
city." 1
'-Thank yon, it will not. be neces
sary 1"
Excuse me, but might I askwhat,
you're going to New York for?"
By this time most of the'other passen
gers were interested,xThe gentleman,1
who was extremely annoyed at . the
drummer's curiosity, laid .down his pa
per and exclaimed:
"I'mgoing to New York, first, be
cause the train is taking me there; sec-
xtod, because I've got lots of money and
can afford it, and, last because if I like
the place I intend torbuy it "
The commercial man subsided amid a
roar of laughter. Philadelphia Times.
i The Center Table.
Some one recently has spoken a word
In favor of the old time center table,
and it would indeed be a good thing
could it be restored. The very presence
of its bright lamp, its periodicals and its
books suggests sociability and delightful
intercourse. The very opportunity it of
fers for the drawing up of many chairs
is a silent invitation, and it so possesses
a subtle charm that is all its own. What
we most need in our modern social life
are informal gatherings Jrhere compan
ionship can be en joyeyL without the
preparation and the fuss attendant upon
a dinner or a reception. And, as the
center table may properly be called a
promoter of just such happy homes, it
would be well were it once more given
a place. Philadelphia Ledger.

Lunch For Business Girls.
"The putting up of the .cold lunch is no
easy matter, as many mothers realize when
they find the question before them," writes
Phebe Westcott Humphreys in The Ladles'
Home Journal. "The wise mother, how
ever, is ever on the alert, and many savory
compounds, in the way of potted meats,
etc., are prepared in ; connection with the
home cookery that are quickly sliced and
invitingly arranged in the lunch basket
and help to form a plentiful, nourishing.
lunoh. The first consideration in prepar
ing these lunches should be healthfulness, -yet
daintiness is pf equal importance. It
is an easy matter to make the home lunch
eon attractive, ejyen when served cold. The
white table linen and attractive table ap
pointments seem to impart a certain 'rel
ish' to the food. ; i i
"One of the first requisites for a dainty
lunoh should be a lunch box or basket that
can be readily scalded and kept sweet and
clean, and waxed paper and Japanese nap
kins, or a quantity of linen napkins, to
sepaf&te the articles of food. Waxed paper
is especially important as pickles, sand
wiches, cake or anything that is wrapped
in It may be kept fresh without destroy
ing the flavor of the. other. A corner in
the dresser drawer well stocked with these
papers, with the doilies, etc., and the
small glasses, with tight fitting lids,
should be a part of the regular kitchen
furnishing in every i home where cold
lunches are to be put tip each day." i
