“Let me introduce, you to Mr.
Joe Thurmond ?” remarked a gen
tleman to us on Tuesday last.
»We looked up from our work,
expectiug to sec a hardened out-
law, girdled with pistols and bowie-
knives, standing at onr side; but
instead of tlmt we met a smiling
face, cleanly shaved witli the ex
ception of a heavy black mustache.
Ill tael, the image of an intelligent
farmer, well-to-do in the world, and
perfectly content with bis lot.
And this was the famous Joe
Thurmond, an account of whose
daring escape from the sheriff of
Clark county had so recently start-
led the state, and caused a thrill of
applause to pass through the system
of all as they read of how a man

“I bad no idea of attempting an
escape,” lie began, “when I was
carried from the jail to the court
house, but Imd determined to die
sooner than go to the penitentiary.
Hut while sitting in my clmir In
Judge Jackson’s office a sudden
desire seized tne to mako tho at
tempt, and without stopping to
consider for a moment or count
the probable cost I made a bolt for
the window, but some one caught
my foot, just as I was about passing
through, that caused me to fall on
my head and receive a fearful
shock. I then rushed for my horse,
expecting each instant to be shot
down in my track, but I intended
to die rather than surrender. You
know how I made tny escape. Ono
of Browning’s bullets grazed my
leg and passing through the
saddle-skirt and blanket entered
tho sido of the nag I was riding.
After getting beyond range of
the balls I headed toward Brooklyn,
but when about two miles out of
town, the horse began to give away
under me, when 1 rode out in n
pine thicket to see what was the
matter. Upon removing the saddle
I discovered the wound, and knew
that the beast could not curry me
further. I turned it loose and
started for homo on foot, and by a
circuitous route had to travel four
teen miles before getting there.
But my leaving tny horse behind
saved inc front capture, as the of-
llecrs thought 1 was still hid out in
the thicket and so ditl not tele-

money, bid my family good-bye

miles distant. Taking my little

not further cause for grief on my
account. This scrape has been a
serious matter to me. Besides
losing my crop, I had to spend
over $1,000 in cash. It has learn
ed me a lesson, and one that I think
I shall always remember. I intend
to try nnd lcatl a better life, mid
sometime prove to the world that
I am innocent of the crime lor
which I was convicted. I imd no

which resulted in my conviction.”
The Miseries if n Mean Man.
Sometimes I wonder what a
mean man thinks about whon he
lie goes to bed. When lie turns out
the light and lies down. When
the darkness closes in about him
he is alone and compelled to be
honest with himself. And not a
generous impulse, not a ’man-
ly act, not a word of blessing, not
a grateful look cotncs to bless him
agiin. Not a penny dropped into
the outstretched palm of poverty,
nor tho balm of a loving word or rapidly
dropped jnto an aching heart; no
sunbeam ot encouragement east
upon a struggling life; the strong
rigid band of fellowship reached
out to help some fallen man to his
feet—when none of these things
come to him as the “God bless
you” of the departed day, bow lie
must bate himself. How he must
try to roll away from himself nnd
sleep on the other sidu of the bed.
When the only victory lie can think
of is some mean victory, in which
he 1ms wronged a neighbor. No
wonder ho always sneers when lie
tries to smile. How pure and fair
nnd good all the rest of the world
must look to him, and how cheer-
less and dusty Ids path appear.
Why, even one lone, isolated act
of meanness is enough to scatter
cracker crumbs in the bud of tho
Bultlmoro Day.
A few days ago Mrs. Win. T.
Dickinson, residing at No. 80 St.
Paul street, received from Mr.
Win. Hunter, second assistant
United States secretary of state,
residing in Gcorgcton, D. C., a
small box containing a Mexican
bean. Accompanying it was a
note explaining tlmt the bean when
exposed to the light would move
as though it possessed animal life.
Last evening Mrs. Dickinson de
termined to test its magnetic prop
erties nnd in the presence of a com
pany of friends, including a repre
sentative of the Day, placed the
bean on tho blank side of n sheet
of paper, which rested on the par
lor mantel. In a lew moments it
began to move, slowly at first, and
finally skipped from ono end of
the sheet to tho other and turned
over. A little later it mado anoth
er jump and moved nimbly across
the paper. The antics of the bean
was watched by the assembled
group ns it skipped across the pa
per. Finally it wns suggested that
the movement was caused by the
heat from the stove, and the sheet
of music was removed to another
part of the room when the same
curious manifestations were repeat
ed. Mrs. Dickinson stated that
ske had shown the bean to a num-
ber of persons, including several
scientific gentlemen, nono of whom
could oiler nil explanation of the
phenomenal antics of the little par
ticle. Among others to whom it
was sent for examination was Dr.
Win. II. Carpenter, who is deliver
ing a scries of lectures on Norse
literature at the Johns Hopkins
University. Ho studied closely
the manifestations, nnd after con
sultation with scvernl ol tho learn
ed faculty of the institution return
ed it to Mrs. Dickinson, declaring
his inability to oiler any solution
of the phenomenon. Tho bean is
about the size of a large grain of
Java coffee and very closely re
sembles tho latter when parched.
When exposed to tho light it some
times remains stationary for sever
