3 Dived Into Reelfoot Lake While

Got Away Without a Wound.
r I Tiptonville, Tenn.?Colonel R. Z.
t Taylor, who was taken from Walnut
. Log, Tenn., at night by Night Riders
> and who, it was feared, had been
> murdered, as was Captain Rankin,
! j his law partner, arrived here unhurt
but suffering from shock and the
hardships of two days in the woods
without food.
Colonel Taylor said that after the
mob had hanged Rankin and had
riddled his body with bullets there
was some discussion among them as
to what should be done with Taylor.
Some wanted to hang him and shoot
him up, but others thought it might
j serve their purpose better to hold him

promise that Reelfoot Lake should
be free fishing water.
While the discussion was going on
Taylor, who is nearly seventy years
old, but spry as a much younger man,
was left unattended a few feet away.
Suddenly an inspiration came to
the old man. Knowing that most of
the mob's pistols had been emptied
Into Rankin's body he decided to
make a break for freedom. He was
,! standing near a deep arm of Reelfoot
Lake about fifty yards across and
very deep. No sooner had he conceived
the idea than he dived into
the water, and, swimming below the
' surface, came up near a log not far
from the opposite bank. He hid behind
this log and escaped the first
volley that was fired at him. Then
he ducked again and did not come up
again till he was almost at the shore.
Hundreds of shots were fired, but
there was little light to guide the
.Night Riders' aim and not one of the
bullets hit him. Reaching the shore
he got behind a stump, where he remained
till the shooting ceased.
Then he made as good time as he
could through the forest.
' When daylight came he got his
< bearings from the sun, but was afraid
" to return to Walnut Log for fear he
would be captured again. Turning
toward the west, he made his way to
the cabin of a woodman, where he
got food and rested until morning,
when he came here.
He left for his home in Trenton,

I "I guess the world will regard me

j a trick that any one in the heat of

ment made by Colonel Taylor. He

j some experience with sharpshooters.

perfectly carried out of the many receptions
received by the fleet since it
sailed from Hampton Roads. RearAdmiral
Sperry said that he was utterly

accomplished, but that the welcome
given the fleet and its officers and
men here had been so carefully
planned and carried out to the most
minute details that lasting impressior
has been stamped upon the mind ol
every American who has witnessed
it.
It Is impossible to 'doubt the sincerity
of the Japanese. The American

Resourceful Sergeant.
At one army post where a numbei I
of recruits were temporarily stationed
an.old sergeant was ordfered 1o ascertain
to what religious sect each man
belonged, and to see that ho joined
the party told off for that particular
form of worship. Some of the men
had no lifting ror cnurcn, ana declared
themselves to be atheists. But
the sergeant was a Scotsman and 8
man o? experienoe. "Ah, weal," said
he, "then ye hae no need to kape holy
the Sabbath, and the stables hae na
been claned oot lately." And ^e ordered
them to clean out the stables.
This occupied practically the whole
day, and the men lost their usual
Sunday afternoon's leave. Next Sunday
a broad smile crept over the face
of the sergeant when he heard that
the atheists had joined the Church of

NOT A MIRACLE
Just Plain Cause and Effect.
There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day, which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe
that a man could suffer from coffee fig
drinking so severely as to cause spells M
of unconsciousness. And to find com- |C
plete relief in changing from coffee N
to Postum is well worth recording. I
"I used to be a great coffee drink- En
er, so much so that it was killing me n
by inches. My heart became so weak ?
f would fall and lie unconscious for E9
an hour at a time. The spells caught Hi
me sometimes two or three times a
"My friends, and even the doctor, h|
cold me it was drinking coffee that U
caused the trouble. 1 would not be- H
lieve it, and still drank coffee until 1 jfjj
could not leave my room. H
"Then my doctor, who drinks Pos- 9
turn himself, persuaded me 10 stop nc
coffee and try Postum. After much S|
hesitation I concluded to try it. That H
was eight months' ago. Since then I 83
have had but few of those spells, Ig
none for more than four months.
"I feel better, sleep better and am nfl
better every way. I now drink noth- Hs
ing but Postum and touch no coffee, SB
and as I am seventy years of age ali H
my friends think the improvement 3S
quite remarkable." m
