4 A PRETTY GOOD HORSE. 1
??? 1
Op Else This Tennessee Doctor is
^ .J
Aaiurv rojuu^.
A Tennessee doctor named Barn
urn thinks that he has about the ;
wisest horse that ever carried a rider 1
and his saddle bags over the country
t road.
"Charle never, in the many calls
I daily make, requires no fastening," ,
writes the doctor in Our Dumb Animals,
"but will follow along, pick ,
around until the visit is finished, ,
and if the next is near, trot around .
and wait until it too, is finished.
"Charlie understands, if he can- ,
not speak, the English language.
One instance of many I will give.
f "One morning when starting out
on my morning round a woman called
from a neighboring row of tenements.
'Call and see my child when
you' come back!' Some two hours
had elapsed before the round was
finished and I had forgotten the request,
but when we reached the
street corner Charlie balked, took
the bit in his mouth and made a run
up the street to the woman's house.
"He stopped at the door and waited
till the little sufferer's wants had
been attended to and then quietly
> / followed me home. He had never
been there before, and if he did not
understand what was said, what
made him act so?
"Sometiihes he is quite helpful in
ridding me of the chronic hypochondriac
cases, who fancy a full recital
of all their ills, real and imaginary
to be necessary at every visit,
and that the doctor has nothing to
do save to hear these wandering
stories. If a call at certain places is
usually prolonged and an open door
or window accessible, his head is
sure to pop in and a prolonged
neighing is kept up until I leave.
"One morning he had been quiet,
- ly following me until noon was approaching,
when by sundry little
nips on my coat sleeve he intimated
that 'corn time' had come. When I
thought my call was over and had
started to leave, another member of
the family claimed attention. This
done, a new start was made, when
another required attention; Charlie
pulled violently on my sleeve to no
purpose.
"a ftai. raw was nacified Ii
lUiu VMW\/ >. A
again mad? a move, when the old
grandmother called to me to 'wait
till they could send to a neighbor's
and bring the baby.' This was too
much. Charlie seized me by the coat
collar and pulled me away, striking
out viciously with both heels toward
the tormentors. You could almost
imagine from the expression of his
fice that he was saying, 'these people
have had doctoring enough and I
i want my corn.'
"Charlie knows every youngster
and baby in the neighborhood. Put
one on his back, tie up the reins and
start him off to take the little one
home and he goes to the right house,
stops at "the door, stands till relieved
of his burden and then quietly trots
home unless he sees me coming, and
then he follows me.

Pinson Guilty of Manslaughter.
Laurens, S. C., March 12.?Guilty
of manslaughter with recommendation
to mercy was the verdict returned
by the jury in the case of Wade
Cochran Pinson, charged with killing
Thornwell Boyce. The jury had
been out all night, its deliberation
occupying sixteen and one-half
hours. The counsel for the defense
gave notice of a motion for a new
trial. Pinson seemed unmoved by
the verdict.
Pinson shot Boyce on November
6 last. Boyce had taken supper with
Miss Evelyn Brown, with whom Pinson
was infatuated. Pinson's invitation
to take supper with him had
been refused by the girl, and later
when all three were driving in a buggy,
with Boyce sitting on Pinson's
lap, the shooting occurred. The
prosecution claimed the tragedy was
caused by jealousy, inflamed by liquor,
and the defense claimed the
shooting was accidental.
Lumsden Sentenced.
New York, March 12.?John C.
Lumsden, the young North Carolina
inventor, who was convicted of manslaughter
in the first degree on the
charge of killing Harry B. Suydam,
a broker, was to-day sentenced in the
court of general sessions to not less
than 18 years nor more than 19 years
and six months in State prison. The
' ' ^ "Ha
broker was snoi in ms omce uu
cember 19, after ail altercation with
Lumsden over money matters, Lumsden
claiming that the broker owed
him $1,200 on some notes.
Farmer Shoots Farm Hand.
Jacksonville, Fla., March 13.?
Rufus A. Humphries, a farmer living
twelve miles from this city, last I
night shot and instantly killed Tom
McManus, a farm hand, and seriously
and probably ^fatally injured his
16-year-old wife.
McManus and Humphries' wife
were alleged to have improper relations
and the husband appeared
suddenly and fired two shots from a
double-barreled shotgun. Humphries
came to Jacksonville and surrendered,
and is now in jail. The
girl wife is in the hospital in a precarious
condition.
Humphries and wife were married
last August.
An editor of an obscure Dakota
paper says: "A certain fastidious
woman of this town kneads bread
with her gloves on. That's nothing.
The editor of this paper needs bread
wih his shoes on. He needs it with
his shirt on. He needs it with his
pants on. And if the subscribers of
this paper don't pony up mighty
soon, he'll need it without a damn
thing on?and North Dakota is no
garden of Eden in the winter."

BAMBERG, SO
ENORMOUS SALARIES PAID.
People Who Earn Whole Fortunes
Every WTeek in the Year.
Thirty years ago stage stars were
considered well paid if they could demand
a salary of 10 pounds a week,
yet to-day there are scores of artists
who receive three times that amount
for one night's work.
In regard to salaries, grand opera
favorites are paricularly lucky. Madame
Melba, for instance, never
thinks of singing for less than 320
pounds an evening, . while 600
pounds a night is nearly her average.
The earning power of the latest
star. Tetrazzini, is about $15 a min
ute every time she sings.
Madame Patti can claim a still
higher fee. It was only last year that
she fulfilled an engagement in the
United States for a six months' tour,
in which she received 1,000 pounds
for each performance and half of the
gross receipts over 1,500 pounds.
This engagement brought her in
nearly i00,000 pounds.
Caruso, the king of tenors, will not
sing for less than 500 pounds a
night, or 20 pounds a minute. He
makes in the course of a season, on
an average, 36,000 pounds.
Judging by the tempting offers
some of the instrumentalists are no
[less fortunate. It is said that PadI
erewskl, most famous musician in
the world, will not give a public ex!
hibition of his skill on the piana unless
he is paid a fee of 500 guineas?
J nearly 26 pounds of every 60 seconds.
Masscagni and Puccini, as conductors,
can demand 320 pounds a
day, while Kubelik receives 180
pounds for playing a couple of pieces
'on his violin. One recent tour in the
United States of three months' dura
tion netted him 9,600 pounds.
Actors and actresses of the front
'rank cannot complain on the score
) of poor pay. Sarah Bernhardt earns
big fees when she goes on a tour.
Her first American trip lasted four
months and put 25,000 pounds in her
pocket.
The wonderful speeches of Coqueilin,
which he fondly calls "words,"
i
:are also carefully recorded, and it is
'stated that each word cost 6 pounds.
, Twenty speeches a night bring him
jin 240 pounds.
Besides the huge fees and salaries
received by entertainers, many people
engaged in other walks of life are
not badly off in the way of salaries.

UTH CAROLINA
4
Igineer, who, until he went in for
'politics, drew the enormous salary of
100,000 pounds annually. Even this,
however, has been eclipsed by a lawyer.
The largest single legal fee
ever paid was $200,000, which Mr.
J. B. Will, of New York, received
for settling the disputes which arose
between Mr. Carnegie and Mr- Henry
C. Frick over the transfer of the
properties merged in the United
States Steel Corporation. This is
followed by the astounding sum of
160,000 received by Mr. D. Guthrie
for winning another sensational
case. Mr. Joseph H. Choate, the late
j American ambassador to this country,
received $40,000 for a single le'gal
argument.
i The fear of death has long been
i responsible for large fees paid to
noted physicians. Dr. Adolph Lorenz,
of Vienna, was paid 6,000
pounds and traveling expenses for
treating a mililonaire. King Edward,
when Prince of Wales, paid a physician
10,000 pounds for four weeks'
service. Dr. J. C. Parks, a noted
Chicago physician, will charge 2,000
pounds for a single operation.
Dentists also know how to charge
on some occasions. When Prince
Louis, of Battenberg, visited New
York last year he had to see a dentist,
and consultation cost him 500
pounds, but the most astounding hill
ever drawn up by a dentist was by
Dr. Browning of a past generation,
who charged a wealthy patient 32,000
pounds.
The New Reporter.
Said the editor to the new reporter,
as quoted by an exchange: "You
must learn never to state a thing as
a fact until it has been proved a
fact. You are apt to get us into libel
suits. Do not say, 'The cashier who
stole the funds,' say 'The cashier who
jis alleged to have stolen the funds.'
; That's all. Oh, get something about
that First Ward social to-night." And
this is the report turned in by the
young man, who heeded the editor's
warning: "It is rumored tnat a caru
party was given last evening to a
'number of reputed ladies of the First
jWard. Mrs. Smith, gossip, says, was
jthe hostess, and the festivities are reJported
to have continued until 11:30
in the evening. The alleged hostess
is said to be the wife of John Smith,
the so-called 'high-priced grocer.'"

Tried to Poison His Wife.
Robert Bynum, a negro well
known to the police, is in serious
trouble. He 1s under arrest, charged
with attempting to poison his exwife
and the members of her household.
Bynum is a carpenter, formerly
occupying a hoiise on Divine street.
He and his wife separated about two
months ago.
Policeman Bruce Nettles heard
four shots fired on this street about
3 o'clock yesterday morning and
hurrying in the direction from
which the sounds came caught the
negro Bynum running from the yard
of the house in which he formerly
lived. Bynum was arrested. Later
it was learned that Maurice Carter,
a brother of Bynum's wife, had
heard some one prowling around the
house and had fired four shots at the
figure.
Policeman Nettles returned to the
! house yesterday morning to see what
i the negro might have been trying to
accomplish and found a powder of a:
suspicious appearance strewn around:
the top of the well. The well
1 bucket, which contained a small
amount of water, also showed traces
of the same powder. A large quantity
of the stuff had evidently been
thrown in the well, as the walls were
well sprinkled. Marks upon a carpet
hanging on the fence showed where
the negro had evidently wiped his
hands. . "
Detective Forde was apprised of
the presence of the powder around
the well and obtained a bottle filled
with the water from the bucket. A
search of the belongings of the prisoner,
possessions that had been
taken from him when stripped at
police headquarters, revealed a package
of "Rough on Rats."
A quantity of this drug was then
placed in a bottle, the effect being
the same as that in the bottle of water
from the well bucket. It is stated
A1? *- ? ~ ~ rv ? An/umonfc nf flip

house have been drinking the water
since the poison was put in it. Physicians
say that "Rough on Rats" is
a deadly poison and only, a very
small amount would prove dangerous.
Bynum has been a frequent
visitor to police court on minor
charges.?Columbia State.
Bryan Would Accept Seat in Senate.
Chicago, March 15.?William J.
Bryan in an interview to-day left the
impression that he would be a receptive
if not an active candidate for
the United States senatorship from
. Nebraska in 1911 to succeed Elmer
J. Burkett, Republican.
"I do not know yet whether I shall
be a candidate," said Mr. Bryan. "If
I there seems a good chance to elect
to the senate some other Nebraska
Democrat it will please me better
than to be a candidate myself. I can
not say that I would under no circumstances
accept the nomination,
because no one is wise enough to decide
on conditions in advance. I
think the Democratic party is in better
condition than at any time since
1892 and has. an excellent chance,to
control the next congress."
