Will Johnson -His Probable Scheme
Sot Accomplished.
"For the last several nights.
there .has been reasons to be- j
lipvft that some mgnt imei is
getting in Iris .work in our town
and it has been hoped that he
would be caught. Two different
houses have been prowled about
but he has not yet - been caught.
"Worse than all though was the
one Sunday night when some
nerson went to the window at
the home of Mrs. settie Johnson j
on Spring street wThere Will
Johnson was sleeping and
'poured so, me choloroform into
h':s moutlTf-and nose. This was
very "probably- done about 11
o'clock. A while afterwards he
woke and found himself in this
condition. . His blinds were
found to be wide open and
several things of small value
were found out In the yard. It
is thought that the perpetrator
of the deed intended to ransack
the room to find some money,'
but he failed. -

DRILL THE TONGUE DAILY.
It Is the Instrument That Makes the
World Happier and Better,
"Upon those who are ambi-
tiousv4o make the world happier i

spasmodic efforts, not with occa
sional hints and words of good
cheer, are men prone to use the
tongue in the interest of happi-
ncss. The daily drill of the
.tongue as an instrument of hap-
piness and influence is to enter
into the fundamental conception
of lr
ring. Nor is this law bind-
ing only upon those happy per-
c'ri .vu rt PO, A nnA
tertainers. Some there are who
are so fortunately organized that
they exhale benefactions upon
any company into which they en-.
ter. Unconsciously and without "
any set purpose, they oil the
bearings of life, lessen friction,
provoke laughter and good cheer
as naturally as flowers that do
uot struggle to throw off sweet-,
ness, as tne ceaar woou inai

as did the ancient ministers of

some tongues are indeed 'trees of

helped me. I expected soon to
