How Briar Pipes are Made.
Briar, which furnishes the roc
from which the briar pipes ar
made, is the shrub called the whit
heath or heather, and is found chie:
ly in the south of Italy, or on tb
Island of Corsica and in Algeria. Th
j 'shrub often grows to a large siz<
although only the roots are used i
the pipemaking industry.
After the roots have been cleane
of the earth which clings to tbei
they are sawed into blocks of variou
dimensions, placed in vats and a
lowed to simmer for 12 hours, whic
brings out the rich brown color fc
which the finest pipes are prized.
Following 'this boiling process th
blocks are steam dried for two week
and then are sent to the factor:
v where they are converted into pipe;
The blocks are assorted according t
size by experts, are placed on shelve
and kept at an even temeprature fc
10 days. Then they are dried, an
sent to the machines, where the acti
al manufacture begins. After th
blocks have been trimmed to th
. proper size the upper part of th
w bowl is turned, then the lower pai
and stem, and they are sandpapere<

WHIPPED, GIRL MARRIED \

cently taken from a house in Dawson bi
and severely whipped by several men d*
headed by W. G. Dozier, clerk of the ci
superior court of Terrell county, was fii
married here to Vogt Dozier. ai
It was because of the infatuation tt
of young Dozier for the Carter wo- es
man that the latter was whipped at tt
the instance of the father of the ta
young man. p(
Young Dozier returned to his st
home at Dawson after being married, vi
S but did not tell his father of what st
0 he had done. The latter was told bi
over the long distance telephone of H
y the marriage. tt
d "This is a great shock to me," said at

) my son would further disgrace us in
C this way. He is here in the house F

Mother Bear Adds Excitement to a ai
Camera Hunting Trip.
t The Rev. Dr. Chauncey J. Hawkt
ins, pastor of the Central Congrega- iz
e' tional church, Jamaica Plains, has gi
just had an adventure with a big pi
black bear that would delight the ol
heart of any small boy?to read bi
? about?and which, now that it is C
. over the doctor does not regret, al- le
* though it nearly put an end to his ii
adventurous camping trip. tc
Dr. Hawkins has been in New tc
Brunswick for several weeks hunting di
, wild animals with a camera. News o:
h
of his adventures was brought out to tc
civilization by his guide, who came O
t out the first of the week to meet Mrs. M
Hawkins and George B. Clark, of sc
e
? Jboston, who were joining the doctor. ?F
V
The story is that Dr. Hawkins and ie
, his guide were waiting in a blind for la
? bears to come to a bait of meat and P
e
molasses which had been put out to c<
lS
v tempt old bruin's palate. But the f<
? bear was wary and they had been ti
waiting several days, when at last ai
j they saw a big bear and two cubs ap- w
^ proaching the bait. When the bear o!
' was within about fifty feet Mr. Hawk- P
j ins snapped his camera, expecting to P
' see the bears run when they heard
the shutter of the camera fall.
n
But this was a mother with her litSL
.
tie ones to protect, and without waiting
to see what would follow the unknown
noise she lunged straight for
the harmless hunter. She same so
quickly and so straight that the doc
tor could not move and his camera n
e was knocked out of his hands and n
part of his clothing was torn away
e by huge claws. 11
e The guide, who had an axe in his
hands, sprang to the rescue and
n swung for a mighty blow, but the old
animal brushed it aside easily, just $
d getting a wound on her paw. How11
ever, it diverted her attention from 11
18 the doctor and gave him time to draw r<
his pistol, a 22-caliber pistol with a
h 12-inch barrel. As the bear turned c<
,r on the guide the doctor fired, the ball a
pierced her brain and she fell dead

LOST FORTUNES.
x>ple Who Have "Come Down" in
the World.
We hear a great deal of men who
ve made fortunes and "got on,''
it the story of those who have lost
em is generally told in a few lines
the newspapers, if told at all, and
iropos of a bankruptcy, a suicide
a poor law guardians' meeting,
is an easy matter to lose a fortune
you have a fortune to lose, but
e story and example may be just
dramatic and striking, and as use1
as an object lesson, as the makg
of one.
Not long since there died in a misable
garret in Paris an old woman
ho for years had lived in dire
inury. Nearly 50 years ago she was
beautiful and talented soprano,
ith a huge fortune of her own makg
and a voice that could coin gold
easily as the blackbird can make
>tes. She sang in every capital in
urope, and so much of a popular
ol was she that she is said to have
>tted over 30,000 rounds "in one
ief London season. Then she sudmly

te, save possibly her relatives and
trsonal friends, knew, what had beime
of her until the news of her
sath in such painful circumstances
called her almost forgotten name
the public.
Another case well within the recolction
of newspaper readers is that
a Midland merchant who at one
me possessed an enormous fortune,
bank failure or some big commeral
catastrophe swept it all away in
1 hour, and after long years of priition
and struggling he was forced

of the very town he had once
jen mayor of, and on which he had
inferred lasting benefits.
The story of these fallen favorites
! fortune is writ large in workhouse
scords, and this last resource of
e destitute shelters and has shelred
men and women who have had
their possession fortunes of hun eds
of thousands of pounds.
A man charged with begging in a
sndon suburb and sent to jail for a
onth for vagrancy was found to
ive run through an inheritance of
30,000 pounds in something less
lan 12 years. Another, who had

"Yes, it's a Ch? Well, I can't pronounce

"Billy Rugh.
The heroic death of Billy Rugh,
the Gary, Indiana, newsie, who gave
up his life in so unusual a manner,
calls for a word of comment.
A young woman had been severely
burned in a motorcycle accident and
was in danger of death because not
enough skin was available for the
necessary grafting operation. Billy
Rugh, a cripple from his earliset
years, heard of the need. His leg
was practically useless. He went to
the hospital and suggested that his
crippled leg be taken off and the skin
used for the injured girl.
The doctors warned him that the
operation would be dangerous.
"Well, use it anyway," he said. "I
can't use it except to twine around a
crutch. If it will save the girl take it
off. Besides," he added, "I'll save
money?you know I'll have to buy
only one shoe."
The leg was taken off; the operation
upon the young woman was successful,
but Billy Rugh began to sink.
A few minutes before he passed
away the "newsie" said: "Yes, I'm
going. But I was some good to the
world, after all." Then he passed
with a smile on his lips.
There is many a monument of marble
or bronze in the world's capitals
to commemorate deeds of heroism
and heroes not half so great as the
deed of Billy Rugh.
"Greater love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his life for
his friends." Yet Billy Rugh laid
down all he had for a stranger. Let
us build to him in our gratitude and
memeory a white shaft of appreciation
for his knightly deed.?N. Y.

Wednesday evening at 9:42 o'clock of
uraemic poisoning, resulting from
Bright's disease. Mr. Sherman had
been in declining health for quite a
long period, and his death was looked
for. His physician says that the
end was hastened by overexertion on
the occasion of his notification
speech, August 21. Mr. Sherman was
the 27th vice president of the United
States. He was born in Utica, N. Y.,
October 24, 1855, entered congress

age and remained a member or mat

his works of a laborer who used to

No "Hello Girl" Needed, as System
is Automatic.
John D. Rockefeller is having an
elaborate telephone system installed
in his home at Pocantico Hills, and
when it is ready for operation he will
be his own "hello boy." The system
is intercommunicating, and will
have 33 extensions. It was especially
designed for Mr. Rockefeller.
By pressing a button he can communicate
with any room in the
house, and his conversations cannot
be overheard by the central office,
because when he talks he is automatically
cut off from the outside
world.
The 'phones are of special design
and fit flush with the wall. Alongside
of each 'phone are 33 buttons,
and Mr. Rockefeller has simply to?
push a button to get the room he
desires.
The system will save Mr. Rockefeller
many steps. If he is in his bed
room, library or dining room, and
his associates in the Standard Oil
want to talk to him he does not have
to leave the room. He takes keen
delight in watching the installation
of the new system, and is anxious to
get into his new house to operate his
new "hello girlless" telephone system.?N.

At the opening of his trial to-day

may be life imprisonment.
A jury was obtained in record time.
Justice Goff then called physicians,
