There is not the slightest
for doubt as to the guilt of
cher Willis, who will be
on Dec. 30fch for the murder
Mr. James Hall. It is only to
regretted that, under the tow,
he could not be hung sooner.
It War* Well.
A handwriting expert said of 4
manuscript error to a reporter:
“Such an error «; ludicrous. A man
ot intelligence could never have
made it. ft reminds me of an error
that occurred at a church meeting
in my native town. They wore dis¬
cussing at this meeting the best
time for the consecration of a new
plot that had been added to tbo
church cemetery. There was a long
argument. Some wanted the addi¬
tion consecrated at once; others
thought it would be best to wait
till the next year. Finally an old

«f freshman year without a dollar and
frith several ugly habit*. At the ckwe
of the vaeatksi die Judge told his son
that he had done all he could for him.
If tie bad wasted to* money that was
to have taken him through college, he
might as well leave home and make his
own way in the world. It was a rude
awakening for the young man, but he
knew that hie father vtos right. And so
strong was the goo<# influence of his
upright father that he did leave home

Poetry With a Sting (n lb
On one occasion when William Ham¬
ilton Hayne was visiting Samuel Mln
tura Peck at the latter's borne in Tas¬
ks loosa the two poets strolled into the
woods and paused to rest beneath the
shadows of the pines.
•« Here are your favorite plots.
Hayne,” said Peck. "Let's dream a
few poems beneath them. ft
The languid summer day bad its ef¬
fect on them, and they were soon snor¬
ing and dreaming away. -
But suddenly both awoke and both !
started down the* home road at top
speed, shouting as they ran.
An army of yellow jackets had dis¬
covered them, and, not being partial
to poetry, had forcibly and feelingly ;
resented its intrusion on their domain, i
Later, at supper, Peck asked:
"Did you make a poem, Hayne?”
“No,” was the meek reply. “1 made
a poultice!”
So did L” said Peck.
