lng exercised the duties bf guardian

living with dissolute companions where
die found her after three weeks. Jones,
who was an honest, hard working man,
wad angry alt the gtrl for her behavior,
and when he got her home proceeded
to administer what he considered just
punishment That night the girl died
In, bed from tho effect of the brutal
beating. Her mother, with whom she
was sleeping,' found a corpse beside her
when she awoke. Jones could nbt cm
ploy counsel and Col. McNeill of Co

In carrying the come to the supreme
court and finally into the governor's
hands.

to all the slanders of the Ida Wells
kind.

Qolden Honors
Golden Coast
Dr. Price’s Baking Powder
Californir, empire of tliq Pacific, salutes the world.
Her Midwinter Fair closed in a midsummer blaze of glory
Second only to tho Columbian Exposition in extent, variety
and splendor, the coast display was a veritable triumph.
Out of her abundance tho slate poured her treasures—and
tho nations of tho earth casno to aid her in her noble
exhibition.
Memorable were the exhibits—of gold and silver, ot
wheat and oil, of fruit and wine, of silk and wool—of all
that man and naturo could combine to produce. And no
exhibit attracted more attention or excited warmer approval
:han that of
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder
Official tests showed it to be highest in leavening power,
purest in quality, and most efficient in results of all baking
powders made. Accordingly, the Highest Award and Gold
Medal wore conferred on Dr. Price's at the Midwinter Fair.
The triumph at San Francisco confirms the victory at
Chicago. The Midwinter Fair verdict sustains nnd vindi
cates the bestowal of highest honors on Dr. Price's by the
jury of awards at the World’s Columbian Exposition.

WAS DOWN ON GREEK.
From the Comhlll Magazine.
Our neighbor*—not very numerous—
were chiefly clergy. One of them, unu
sually learned, wus much given to Greek
quotations. I was learning Greek -at
that time—a language which I waa glad
was dead and wished was buried—and
those sonorous lines of his, to which
the ladies listened with reverent anre,
Irritated me extremely. One of them
asked mi' once, in a hushed Whisper,
the translation of one of these quota,
tlone. "You are at school,’' she said,
"and ought to know." I gave her to
understand. ■ with an opportune bluah,
that It waa scarcely meet for a lady's
ear."
“Good heavens!" she cried, “yon
don’t mean to say—"
"Pray don't quote me In the matter,'
I said pleadingly, "but I really—no, I
really couln'i tell you," which wus
quite true, fihe went away and told
nil her lady friend* that Mr. C. in
dulged In quotations which were, such
sa rnuM not be translated to modewt
ears. It tnjsired his character for a
long time, but cured trim of a very
bail h.-sblt. It was my first apoearance
In the role of a public benefactor.

AS MANY LIVES AS A CAT.
A Tennessee Youth Whoso Career Has
Been studded with Mishap*.
There Is now living lu Cleveland, says
the vmoluuatl' Enquirer, a youth
whose amhiy, figuratively apeu-kiug,
to light ou ins feet 1* equal to uUdt of
any eg! that ever lived. Tina youth
may justly be called the most rortu-
uate youth belonging to the stale of
Tennessee. H1s Hairbreadth escapes
are legion. Life for him has been one
long accident . when It hasn't been
oue long escape. Every season brings
some hew and startling peril, out of
which ho somolioiv emerges In some
new and maridng manner. As the son
at Mr. uud Airs. Will Traynor, he lias
high social connections, and was really
born with a silver spoon in bis mouth,
which he has managed 'to keep there
during Ihe seventeen years of his ex
istence without once letting It fall out.
But he will get into trouble. Long be
fore lie mis old enough Uo toddle ho
made It a point to tali out of bed every
night, and when he wa* able to walk
developed n dangerous fondness for
the Ore. He kept up u tendency to
gravitate when a lithe older, by fulling
out of some tree at least once every
week, nnd he Is said no have gone
through this performance so often that
It ttnatly became a pleasing diversion
which ills friends would-gather to see
and which he performed with admira
ble grace nud astonishing jnu lability
from danger.
But the great fall of his life was
oxide in Nashville. He was visiting
his aunt, Mrs. -Morris, a wealthy lady
who had apartments at the Maxwell
at -that time. Otto day while young
Tmytior, or French, as he is familiarly
called; was on the third floor of tho
hotel, some one called him from tho
bottom, nud, not oaring to walk, lie
concluded to slide. Everybody gave
him credt for ills sensible Intention to
stop at the second floor for a change
of banbrters, but the rapidity with
which he wns moving at f^atvoM
made such a. change quite impossible,
nnd he went on without stopping. mMt-
azlng by some acrobatic mld-lllr feat
fa turn over so that ho could alight
gracefully on til* head, which he did,
nnd wns picked up for dead, but pulled
through. Since then accidents lnvo
followed each other tvlrh more or lees
peril to himself. Once he was chased
by a black snake, and the picture of
itirtt snake standing on the tip of hb>
tall in close pursu t Is *111 vivid In his
memory. And twice lie (leaped death
from drowning. But nil these
denis are put In the abide by hW
latest mlslinp. While riding a mile
the other day Ithc nnlmal threw him,
and, having got him down, kicked him
Into Hie comer ot 0 fence, where n,
nest of hornet* wa* uirfortuoaicly sit
uated. The maddened Insects came out
to investigate, nnd very nearly
what tho mute had loft or 'ho young
man. He l» now lying In bed at Ills
home with relatives In Cleveland,
swollen beyond recognition nnd minus
four teeth, which the mule oxltracted.
FOUND IN A TREE TOP.
The Skelton of n Man Tightly Wedged
Eighty Feet From the Ground.
A strange story waa recently related
to * -writer for the Orrvttle, Cal., Mer
cury by a citizen whose home Is to Ihe
mountains near Ntmshew. “About •
month ago I had occasion to build a
ne*w barn on my little place near Nlm-
shew, and to save expense on Its con-
Htructlbn I concluded to split out my
self oil the shakes I would need. I
had known of a splendid sugar pine
tree ever since I had lived In that lo
cality, tbst stood on a hillside about
two miles from my home. It was a
splendid specimen, fully twelve feet
In diameter. Accompanied by my eldest
wxn, I -went one morning about n month
ago. end In the courec of a few hours
felled the forent giant. Then we pro
ceeded to split out from the trunk of
the tree the shakes that we needed.
One day my son raw a squirrel playvng
In the boughs, and, picking up his gun.
ttred. He went to pick up the gain*
which had fallen at the report. I paid
no attention to him until t heard an ex
clamation <5f horror and saw him stand
ing on the trunk gating intently into
the tree lop. Fastened securely In the
second limb fbrk of the tree, eighty
feet from the ground, wa* n humm
nkeleton. It waa wedged In so securely
that even the fall of the free had
failed to dislodge It. and It was intact.
A few remnant* of rotten clothing still
hung to IL and an hid soleless .dio* half
supported the flesbltis leg In the crotch
of the tree. One bony arm was twined
tightly about s limb, and <he skull, still
held by the ligaments, remed on the
breuat. We due • shallow grave and
burled the bones on the hillside. The
skeleton wns tbit of a white man of
average site, and from the condition of
the teeth and skull, must hav been pa-t
middle axe. From the bleached condi
tion It must have been in the tree top
at least twenty years. Now, the ques
tion arises, and It Is a question that
make* the whole story seem Improb
able. Is bow did the min ever get into
the tree top? We made e ireful meas
urements. and K was a tittle over eighty
feet from where It rested to the ground
and in that apace there was lot a limb
Ur even a knot where s man might
cling in climbing the tree.”
