Chicago, Aug. 22.?Nero, an Ea African elephant, adjunct of a wi west show, ran amuck and for ts hours had his own way in the us ally quiet streets of Englewood, suburb. He finally fled when a clan 5* * ing patrol wagon chased him. r? into a blind alley, was cowed by thn ? of his keepers and led back peac f . - fully to his tent. But in the mea time he had made things lively. Nero's escapade began about o'clock. His keepers say he w; * angry because they did not get i and take him a drink of water wh( he trumpeted for it. A few minut later they heard him snap his chaii and thump out into the night. Th< the excitement began.

Gillam, ed formerly a mill operative of the Er?li win Cotton Mills, of West Durham, on and later circulation manager for in one of the local papers in the westler ern section of the city has been noa tified that he is heir to one-third .th interest in the estate of his second nd wife, which amounts to about $90,rs. 000. The old man will leave in a sis few days for the northern home of :al his second wife, from whose estate it- the heritage comes, to complete the jv. arrangements for getting the money. in* The story of the inheritance is La" stranger than fiction, and as interesting and romantic as any ever a penned by the most imaginative ve novelist. Mr. Gillam came to know the lady who left him the fortune er while he was still a farmer in Chatrs ham county, and the United States mails played the part of "Dan Cupid" in their courtship. It was about Q(* thirteen years ago that the farmer answered the advertisement of the ;y? widow, who was then living in one of the small towns on Lake Erie in ds vow Vnrk state. His answer to the ro matrimonial want brought on a correspondence between the two, and their friendship and love ripened a la Uncle Sam's mail carriers. ,st . Some months after this advertiseld ment Mr. Gillam sent the lady money with which to come to Pittsu boro. The lady came, and it was a there in the county seat of Chatham g_ the final plans were made in the in marriage of the Chatham farmer ee and the lady from the shores of i e- Lake Erie, and with the aid of the : n_ register of deeds and the proper church officials the two lives were ; 3 made as one. as The second chapter of this interip esting story begins with the visit of jn Mrs. Gillam to her son and daughter, f es whom she left in New York. She 1 as made this trip back to her native sn State about eight months after her marriage to Mr. Gillam. While )h there she fell ill and died before her ps Carolina husband could reach her h- bedside. She was buried in her nait tive town, and her will showed that v- she had an estate of $85,000, which >w she divided equally between Mr. 2d Gillam and her two children. That 1 re was about a dozen years ago, and a since that time some legal technical- 1 ar ity has prevented the former Chata ham man from getting his part of a the inheritance. About eight years ago Mr. Gilliam came to Durham, where he could ld work in the cotton mills, and give !n the motherless children of his first lg wife the advantage of an education. or For five years he toiled in the mill *? till one day he got one of his hands caught in one of the machines of the mill, which totally disabled him. His children were forced into the :s* mill, and the old man was inactive Bn for some time. When his hand a(* cured up it was lame, and it was at then he took the paper job. For je* three years he peddled the morning *e paper in this city in the western he section of the city, earning from six to eight dollars a week. &s % However, the old man's needs were simple and he saved up a part u6 of his money. Several months ago ^ he gave the circulation man notice that he was going to quit, since he or had saved up enough to keep him * * -'-J lifo Wo ^ going tne remamuei ui mo went out of town for a visit to relak tives in Henderson and in Chatham county. About a month ago he re[ j turned to the city with a third wife. Very few of Mr. Gillam's acquaintances in Durham knew of this inheritance for he is very reticent He on tends to his own business and resents rP ' any attempt to pry into his affairs. Hence no one here knew that he was heir to what looks like a fortune to the average man. to Plowshare in Tree's Heart. With the tree grown around and 2T~ entirely covering it, perhaps many ier years ago, a steel plowshare nearly twenty inches long was found im17 bedded in the heart of an old tree n(* which William Brunni and Daniel Scanni were cutting down in front of their home, 110 Jackson avenue l0t Collingdale. m~ The tree, more than nine feet in circumference, had outgrown its >e(j usefulness, and Scanni and Brunni ais started to cut it down, but after getting about half through their axes ,e(j struck metal. of Curious to know just what was in ce the center of the tree, both men atiat tacked the trunk lower down, and ?e after several hours' work sent the n(i upper part of the tree crashing to .00 the ground, exposing to view a steel in_ plowshare. jo-g The plowshare was upright and Qts probably had been laid in a crotch lve of the tree many years ago and fortoo gotten*. The tree is probably 100 on years old.?Collingdale, Pa., telegram be_ to the Philadelphia Record. ful " All children's wash suits at half price. Write F. G. MERTINS, Augusta, Ga.

After securing cour the loot, he commanded Withers to to r untie his comrades. At Bonner was Springs, where the train made a brief loca: stop, the robber ordered the men to coul continue their work, so as not to at- Al tract undue attention. nam When Lawrence was reached the C0UI] robber dropped from the mail car. A can porter said he saw a man with bulg- beha ing pockets enter a sleeping car. priv; Conductor M. E. Smith summoned two Lawrence policemen and all three hurried into the car. The rob- rewg ber had climbed into an upper berth. ^as As Smith pulled the curtain aside, t*e the robber raised his revolver and pulled the trigger, but Smith caught ^ey his hand and wrenched the gun back- ^ ward, the bullet entering the man's 0f ^ chest close to his heart.

Mr. Garrett an(j has refused offers for the rooster q from various Roosevelt clubs. j Mrs. Garrett is an invalid, and the bun( rooster is her special pet. She has gjng] trained him to do several tricks, get , such as lying down and rolling over like a dog, jumping over a child's chair, fetch things for her, and jump up and grab things out of her hand. p. i .. noti< Riley is not quite a year old. Last fall when he was a little chick he suffered a broken leg. Mrs. Garrett put splints on it and nursed it , along until it mended. Meantime Mrs. Garrett had begun his educa- an^ tion, but it was Mr. Garrett who / ^ W{ taught him to crow at mention of ed t Roosevelt's name. It was several ^ months before Riley could distinguish with certainty, and often he WI16 crowed at sounds similar. Now ^ however, he never makes a mistake. _ Peni No matter what he is doing, when ^ some one calls out "Roosevelt," he ed 2 stops it and crows.
