A Bold Kef ro.
Some weeks ago an incident occurred
within four miles of Hickory that was
not reported to Bave the feeling of the
young lad3', but since so much has
been reported of a like character, it is
well to let the truth be known for tho
safety of the girls in the'eountry. The
famiiy were wrorking in a field near the
public road, within sight of the house
except the eldest daughter, who was
left to clean up the house and take care
of her grandmother. While the girl
was busjr in the kitchen the old lady
locked the door of her room and slipped'
off to a neighbor's house. A strange
negro man appeared at the kitchen
door and ordered the girl to give him'
something to eat. She told him there
was no food cooked and she had notbe
gun to get dinner. He told her to
cook something or he would kill her.
She made biscuit and fried meat and
gave him milk. While "she prepared
the meal he. sat in tho yard, doubtless
watching the road with the intention
of leaving at the approach of any pass
er. AVhen he finished eating the girl
asked him where he lived. "Where I
please, my home is in the woods." He
went off and the girl found for tho first
time that sbo had, .indeed, been at his
mercy, as her grandmother was not in
the house a3 she supposed.
Felled the Highwayman.
Arthur Miller, a 3roung man from tho
vicinity of Hickory, was traveling on his
bicycle to Conover, when a negro
sprang from the roadside and haulted
him. Mr.; Miller was confronted by a
pistol and a demand to hand over hi3
inonej'. He cooly answered that he
had but 10 cents with him, but would
frive him that. Dismounting he fum
bled ia his i oceket. The negro ex
pectant, lowered tho pistol, when Mr.
Miller delivered a mighty blow on the
head of the robber, Avhich felled him to
the ground, thereupon Mr. Miller
gave him' a : justly deserved beating.
The pistol had fallen from the negro's
Laud and Miller throw it inta the
bushes as far as he could, mounted his
wheel aud sped away.

Bat Fate Forbade that Captain Gridley
Should Come Home.
Capt. Charles Vernon Gridley, who
died In the Asiatic seas, presumably
as a result of Injuries received in the
battle of Manila, was one of the heroes
of the glorious battle fought on May 1.'
It was his ship, the Olympia, that led
the line of battle and fired the first
shots. The captain himself stood in
the conning tower throughout the bat
tle and Spanish missiles flew about
him. It is surmised in Washington
that he received some Injury there
which led to his death. He was in
healthy condition before the fight and
for several weeks afterward.
Capt. Gridley was born in Logans
port, Ind., In 1S45. The family moved
-to Hillsdale, Mich., from which State
In 1SG0, at the nge of a little over 17
years, he was appointed to the naval
academy. When still a cadet at the
academy he was appointed by the Pres
ident as acting ensign, and served with
signal distinction on board the United
States ship Oneida at the famous bat
tle of Mobile Bay in 18C4. In 1S72 Grid
ley was ordered to the United States
steamer Michigan at Erie, Pa., and re
mained there until 1S74, when he was
ordered to the Monongahela, on the
South Atlantic squadron. He has served
at all the American foreign naval sta
tions except the North Atlantic. He
was ordered to duty as instructor in
seamanship at the Naval Academy in
1S77, where he remained three years,
and was then ordered to the Trenton,
the flagship of the European squadron,
as executive officer, and served in that

capacity until 1SS2, when he again
came back to the Michigan at Erie,
where he remained a short time, or un-;
til his promotion to commander, April
3, 1S82. He was then ordered to the
Boston navy yard, where he remained
until April 3, 1S87, and was then as
signed to the command of the training
ship Jamestown, and afterward to the
command of the Portsmouth. On leav
ing the Portsmouth Gridley was made'
inspector of the Tenth Lighthouse Dis
trict, which includes Lakes Erie and
Ontario, and from there to the com
mand of the Marion at the Asiatic sta
tion. When the cruise on the Marion
was ended the commander was again
ordered back to the Tenth Lighthouse
District, where he remained until his
promotion to captain, March 14, 1S97.
In July of last year he was ordered to
the Olympia, the flagship of the Asiatic
squadron. Erie is his home residence.

It Is not often supposed that, as a
rule, boys in growing keep ahead of
girls, but a recent measurement of very
many children of both sexes is against
this conclusion. The boys, up to their
eleventh year, Avere found to run about
a quarter to half an inch taller than the
girls. They were then overtaken by
the girls, who surpassed them in height
till their sixteenth year, when the boya
