V e NTER ,D STAND Three hours and a few minutes later Smith committed suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head behind his father's blacksmith shop, near stop 21, Mayfleld Center. The murderer had ! gained the home of his parents after a wild flight through, the woods, during which he had twice been met by posses in search of him. At one of these meet- ^ ings a running fight took place between the murderer and the posse, and one or the posse received a bullet wound in the hand. School had been in session fifteen minutes, and the first grade class was q|P for recitation before Miss Shepard when a sharp knock was heard at the ! schoolroom door. Miss Shepard must have been apprehensive of a visit of ; ] the sort, for the text book which she j was holding in her hand dropped on to , the desk in front of her. and with her ( face* a trifle pale she turned sharply j from the class to answer the knock at 1 the door. j Alden?Hare, one of the big boys, got # up from his seat after the schoolroom , \ door had closed behind Miss Shepard i i and started to walk out into the vesti- j bule to see who it was that had called ,, on teacher and paused her to tremble f at his rap on the door. Young Hare ] was edging his way into the vestibule j when the caller poshed him back forcibly Into the schoolroom, telling him to j "keep out of here." , Alden returned abashed to his seat f and a minute later the sound of the j first shot was heard. It was followed by a cry from Miss Shepard of "Mag- j gie! Maggie!" Then another shot and , the despairing cry from the teacher of ] "Oh, children, children!" and then the , falling of the young schoolteacher's j body. . \ { When little Esther Leipmeyer rushed out of the schoolroom into the hallway i and thence to the cloakroom she stum- ] bled oven the dead body of her teacher. : i In terror she ran screaming back to ! ( the schoolroom, and the sixteen other j < pupils made exit in great fright | j through the rear door. The murderer i bad already walked out the front door and was standing in the schoolyard, < the revolver still held in his hand. 1 The flight of the murderer to the < woods, the pursuit of the posse and his fight with them, his escape to his own i home and tragic confession of guilt by < self destruction, all followed in rapid 1 sequence and stirred the quiet commu- j nity'to the wildest excitement. 1 1 Eagle File* Off With a Boy. A four-year-old boy named Gughel- 1 mina was playing in front of his par- 1 ents' hut at Varallo, Italy, when an t eagle suddenly swooped down and car- < ried him off.

The < eagle was seen to alight on the summit i of a high mountain some miles away with his burden safely in his beak, i No trace of boy or eagle has been dis- 1 covered since, although fully 100 moun- i taineers spent three weeks continuous- ( ly on the mountain*. < S ME k. jw store, you oughi ur pleasure and to I )f Groceries, Shoes, /e can save you m< S ME i FEASTTO HONOR PONIES= Prize Winning Steeds Guests at Clubman's Dinner. - ??? / OELEBRATES HORSE SHOW yiOTOBY Harrej S.

Horses munched oats from sliver buckets and drank from gold looped pails at a "pony dinner" given by Harrey S.

Mr. Ladew was delighted with the success of his entertainment, and John Drake and Richard Carman agreed with Berry Wall that It beat a monkey dinner out of sight. "CABBAGE PATCH" PARTIES. Women Hold Them \n New York to x Aid Church Work. "A cabbage patch party" is the latest idea of women's societies connected with church work as a means to raise money, says the New* York World. Several such parties have been held in the Bronx recently, and each was voted "a great success." The latest one was under the auspices of the Indies' Aid society of the Woodlawn Methodist church. It was held by Mrs. Lyman C. Pierce at her home, Glover avenue, WoodlawD Heights. The exterior of the house was decorated with huge heads of cabbage and lanterns. The interior of the house was likewise ornamented. In the house the usual musical programme was -rendered and extracts from "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" were read. Souvenirs wrapped In cabbage leaves were sold. TO PARIS ON DONKEYS. Spaniards' Novel Protest Against Excessive Auto Speeding. Two well known residents of Madrid, In Spain, Senors Cruselles and Bueno, recently arrived at rjprueaux from that city on their way to Paris, lays a Bordeaux cable dispatch to the New York Sun. They are making the trip on donkeys as a protest against [he excessive speeding of automobiles, ind they have named their asses after jrominent automobile manufacturers. They carry banners with the insertion, ' Donkeys Are Better Than Automobiles." They have already narrowy escaped being run down by automolists, who were apparently incensed jy the banners. They hope to reach Paris on Nov. 20 unless they are run >ver by speeders or the donkeys die of 'atigue. Large Crop of AppleM.

The Sonnet Writers* The fashion of sonnet writing w^s &i its height in the sixteenth century when Rousard, the French "prince ol poets" in his own country and generation, wrote over 900 sonnets, a total which appears only to have been exceeded by Gomez de Quevedo, the Spanish Voltaire, who Is said to have written over 1,000. Fortunately for sonnet lovers some of the best poets have been prolific sonneteers. Petrarch, who created the classic model which later poets imitated, wrote 315. Camoens is responsible for 352, Sir Philip Sidney wrote 10S, Spenser 88 and Dante 80. English sonnets were first written by Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503-42) j tt tt 1 ?i?1 Snm-q* ttuu neur; xiu waiu, c<u i ui j (1517-47), and the first appearance of any In book form was in a rare publication briefly known as "Tottle's Miscellany," the full title being "Songs and Sonnettes written by the Right Honoure Lorde Henry Howard, late Earle of Surrey, and other." The greatest sonneteers of our language are Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth and Rossetti ? London Standard. Tiger and Vulture of the Sea. If the "killer" whale is "the tiger of the sea," as the writer of an interesting article in the September Windsor has it, the orcas surely are the vultures of the ocean. In connection with whale catching the author of this interesting natural history article tells of the folI lowing incident: Some years ago a whaler in the northwest had killed a large jsvhale and had the animal alongside when it was attacked by a school of orcas. They doubtless were half starved and, crazed by the scent of blood that extended away a long distance, probably followed It up like hounds, immediately attacking the whale; The men, with spades and tances, cut and slashed at them, inflicting terrible blows, yet despite this the orcas literally tore the whale from the ropes and carried it off. This cer tainiy snows tnai tne orcas, togeuier with a very fair share of Intelligence, are also creatures of extraordinary oouriige.?Dundee Advertiser. Always In Trouble. A still summer's evening, quiet and almost sad. The trees nodded sleepily, as if hushing the World to rest. Suddenly the silent beauty was rudely disturbed. The clattering of a horse's hoofs broke the silence into a thousand echoes. A horseman dashed through the scented lanes, rage glittering from his eyes. He sprang from his horse and 'rushed into the still homestead and dragged forth Farmer Brown. ''Why, what be matter, Squire Tampor?n v fho Tervrthv fn rmpr in OVU \^UViiVU uuv ??
