Bramlett & Bab Lauren., S, e THOUGHT "GUN" WAS DRAWN Western Bad Man Deceived by Po sition In Which His Enemy Hap pened to Have Hand. Tazewell Woody, famous as Colonel Roosevelt's guide in the West, was standing lit a saloon with left elbow on the bar, right hand hanging by his side, and eyes luckily pointed at the mirror behind the bar. lie caught in the mirror the reflection of a head poke(d moetaratuiily lite, the saloon's doorway, and litionging to a notan who lad pibilely stiated hIs )urpose of kill Ing Woody at sight. This man hav ing it paretly thought the t'oast to be ch'ar, and that tile saloon con tailled a stullicielnt audilence, t iraeid his horse, rode through the doorway, and boldly said: "llas any gent here seen tha11t f'iler Woody? I'm huntin' for him." At that instant the man real ized, for the flist ime, that Woody. was in the room, and ho realized also that, though he himself was facing Woody's back. the mirror negatived this advantage. le saw that right hand hitnging idly down. Woody dd not move a muscle. The man's jaw dropped. le remained quiescent for at few seconds, then back out through the doorway, and on his own initiative rode out of the state. These preannounced attemlpts on human life were far less bloody than were the onslaughts by the real "kill ers," tihe actual "bad men." These latter nien did not announuce. Th'iey merely shot. Billy the Kid, it twen ty-three years of age, had committed 23 murders, and had made the iues tioni of his extermination a political issute Iin New Mexico.

At each shot le "crossed" lils rifle-that is, lie tired alternately from lils right and left shoulder, thus increasing the width of his zone of fire without making him rotate his body, and thereby unduly affect his running. He lilt five men before lie dropped dead at the end of his race of but a few feet.-The Cow boy. An Early Helicopter. While inventors in Washington, Chi cago and Dayton are working in se crecy to construct a practical helicop ter, D. E. Garber, airplane expert of the division of mechanical technology of the Smithsonian institution, Is mak ing a model of the first promising de sign of this type of vertically rising aircraft. This model, soon to be added to the National museum, is being built after the design of Sir John Cayley, the Englishman who is regarded as the father of modern aeronautlal science. Mr. Garber says that this design, made in 1843, was astonishingly sound in ,principle, although the body of the Cayley machine was fancifully fash ioned after that of a bird with a bird head carved on the prow. Vertical lift was to be obtained by two wind mill-like propellers which were to act as a sustaining plane when the ma chine wns driven horizontally by an other propeller situated at the rear, Equilibrium was obtained in much the same way as the most successful of the recent European heelicopters. Sir John Cayley sh~owved ini his writ ings, however, that lie realizedl that aerial navigation depended upon new material and power such as hans been found in alutminumi and gasoline. Thumb Made Him Wealthy. Not long aigo a famous physician in Saxoniy, D~octor Metzger, celebrated his siEventy-fifth birthmday. lIe had re tired from active practice for se years, having become immensely wealthy through the thunib of his right hand. This thumb stands out at a right angle from his hand, and, it is said, canntot b~e bent back automat Ically. lie soon found it of ga-cat service in' massage, and when lie he came a specialist in intestinal disor ders lie was called as assistant to the greatest suargeons of Euarope, bringing relief to many illustrious patients. The queen of Rumania sent for this (doctor wvith the curious thumb when she suffered from facial nou railgia, while the king of Sweden'once drove a beautiful span of horses over the border of his kingdoma to consult the doctor, and, on returning, left the horses as a token of gratituade to his preserver.

No mat ter where one sits in the restaurant 'lie cannot help b~ut see this pioster wvith its cheery message.

Frequently they were sibjected to longer ai even more itrocious torments. When the victim was to pierish by 1ire, Iliree different methods were used. In every case, however, the maiden was first placed "in the arms of Ilal," or, rather, on it sort of platform oi the knees of the seated Idol between the arms. By one method fire was made to spont from the mouth oif the over htanging head. By another the plat Corm Itself was heated redhot. By a third the platform was tipped back ward by a mechanical contrivance and the victim was hurled into a seething liery furnace in the interior of the Idol. More cruel even than the death by lire was the placing of the "bride" on luxurious cushions laid in the lap of Baal. When tile priests departed, sealing the great stone doors pifter them, lions or other savage beasts were turned loose to roam the temple floor. Tie terror-stricken maiden could then remain on the cushions slowly to starve to death or might choose the quicker method of casting herself to the beasts below. Nothing for Nothing. It was said by all the neighbors of Mr. Tightleigh that lie had never been known to give away anything in his life. He either sold It or demanded something In exchange. On one occasion lie was making a long railway journey. The seat direct ly in front of him was occupied by a man who had been coughing and sneezing at freque~nt intervals for more than an hour. At last Mr. Tight leigh leaned forward and spoke to "That's a pretty bad cold you seem to have," lie said. "Worst I ever hAd In my life," wheezed the other. "WVell, I know of a simplo and harm. less remedy, absolutely sure, that will cure it insidle of two days." "Some patent nostrum?" "No, you cari make it up at honme."
