HOW TENNESSEEANS SHOOT '
Against Much Jnarbmanstalp the Fil
ipino has Little Chance.
A yarn is told in Manila; and it
concerns the prison and two Ten
neseee volunteers. A Filipino
convict had climbed the prison wall
and was running for dear life
through the open. Two long-legged
Tennesseeans were on guard duty.
They kneeled to fire.
"I don't guess it's more than
three hundred yards," said one
quietly, j
"I reckon it's most five hundred ',
saia tne otner, a3 if he were dis
cussing the weather. j .
The prisoner was running like a
a deer, and rapidly approaching
the nnder-growth around innumer
able little huts, where he would
bo safe.
"Call it four hundred," suggested
the lat Tennesseean, in a concilia
tory tone.
They adjusted ther sights, aimed
and fired. The escaping convict
fall, and the two Tennesseeans went
oat to bring in what was left of
him. - !!'- -
"'If he's hit in the head, it's my
shot," said one.
"I aimed low, according to a" in y
rftgulattohe," drawled the other.
Tne convict was found with one
bullet through the back of his
head and another through the
lower end of hia spine. They know
how to shoot in the mountains of
Tennessee. Harper's Weekly.

Tne Hlsh Scbool Boys Win the Tie.
The High School boyB and the
Graded School boy a have each suc
ceeded in "doing" each other one
time in a game of baseball. On
Monday afternoon they tried again
to see who would get the two out of
the three' games.
But this time the High School
boys proved themselves higher than
the Gradd School boys, even when
it comes to playing baseball.
Messrs. Richmond Ried and Carl
Johnson umpired the game. The
score stood 15 to 13 in favor of the
High School boys. Each team used
the came battery that they, have
been putting up this season.
A Woman Electrocuted
Mrs. Place was eleotrooated at
Sing Sing, New York, Monday, for
murdering her step-daughter Ida
Place, a j mere girl, on February 7,
1898. She first threw acid in the
girl's eyes and then smothered
her. It was the first instance
of the electrocution of a woman .
Strong efforts were made to get Gov.
Roosevelt to commute the sentence
and spare the woman but he steadily
refused to allow his sentimentaliam
to override the decisions of the court.
He ordered, however, that the execu
tion be conducted with the utmost
decorum and entire freedom from
sensation. It was ordered that but
two representatives of the press,
each repreRenting a preBS association,
be allowed to witness the execution.
Dr. Jennie ' Griffin, of Troy, was
the physician with her by request of
the governor. Her pastor was also
with her, together with male physi
cians and officials.
