Yf he sought to pervade the

Fiv years ago Joseph; Pulitzer
tli.d. He left a large estate, a n©r
tlon of which/ comprised the great
l.ewsp'Ter properties the New

Today Bryan, in order to advance
Wilson's political fortunes, is as

riny W'ilson's press agents and ad

Hughes' integrity and motives, to

RUSE OF A BAD MAN.
rick by Which He Turned the Tablet
on 8hertff Dill Nya.
To nearly every one theiname of Bill
re brings the picture ot)a genial, tun.
vlng man whose Jokes fwere once fa
ous all over tho country, but to those
ho lived In Wyoming tsome thirty
sars ago Sheriff'Bill Nye<of Laraml&j
»anty means something else too.
Sheriff Nye was absolutely fearless,
e was resolute,) decisive, quick to act
id tireless In pursuing offenders. He
illed to get his/man on only one occa
on, and that ^allure was doe to the
inderness of heart that was always a
irt of his character.
Nye started out oneetafter a typical
ad man who bad ubot or stabbed
jme one and quickly "learned that he
ad fled to the mouotains. Summon
ig a deputy, the sheriff sprang on hla
orse, and the two started off. After
Idlng nearly 200 miles into the wilder
ess they learned that their man was !
idlng In an abandoned*miner's cabin,
•hither he had broughtihis young wife.
Soon after darkness, fell Nye quietly
ode up to the cabin and dismounted
efore the door. He sent his deputy
ound to guard the rear of the little
hack. Then Nye threw open the door
nd dashed Inside, with his revolver
ocked and ready 'for Instant action.
?he criminal wasj asleep on the bed,
ind his wife, wbo sat close by, was
troklng his forehead. Nye covered
hem both with his gun and told them
0 throw up their hands.
"I've got you," he said grimly. "Now [
rou get up quietly and come along,
rhe lady can1 stay here if she chooses."
The bad mail admitted that the game
.vas up and began to roll his blanket
nto a bundle. "Never mind that,"
aid Nye. "We've got plenty of blan
cets In the place you're going to." The
lesperado then asked if he conldnt
jay goodby to his wife.
"I reckon It's the last time I'll ever
see her," he continued. "You've got
the goods on me this tline. sheriff, and
1 reckon I'll swing for It"
He appeared so cast down that Nye's
warm heart prompted him to grant the
request "All right," he said. "I'll
ffive you two minutes."
The criminal rose trom toe ueu. iuo
next Instant those tightly rolled blan
kets came whirling through the air and
struck Nye In the face so heavily that
he reeled back against the wall. Be
fore he could recover his balance and
throw off the blankets the criminal
had dashed out of the cabin, leaped on
Nye's pony and was galloping down a
mountain trail in the darkness.
Of course Nye's deputy came rushing
round from the rear of the cabin and
started in pursuit, but the bad man
was never heard from afterward.—
Youth's Companion.
The First Cradle.
Moses' little ark of bulrushes. But
there are in the British museum some
clay tablets found some years ago on
the site of ancient Nineveh which, ac
cording to archaeologists, make it
quite clear that somewhere about
4.000 years before the Christian era
there was another Infant hero exposed
In a little ark of bulrushes. Thus the
cradle that was found by Pharaoh's
daughter 1400 B. C. was comparatively
modern.
It is certain that cradles were first
nsed as a means of protecting babies
from the attacks of wild animals by
suspending them from the boughs of
trees.—London Globe.
Ancient War Automobiles.
Among some interesting documents
in the old Bohemian city, Saaz, on the
Eger river, Is a picture showing an at
tack on the fortress Glatz, In Silesia,
In which war automobiles were used.
Thp mechanically driven cars were flat
vehicles, protected by huge shields in
front, in which the soldiers turned
large cranks, the rotary motion of
which was transferred to cog wheels
and to the road wheels. It is estimat
ed that these fifteenth century "chauf
feurs" got a speed of four miles an
hour out of the armored cars.
An Odd Globe.
A great globe ornamented with the
map of the earth carved in stone decor
ates the estate of an eccentric English
man at Swanage. It stands overlook
ing the sea and is visible for quite a
listance. One may walk about it and ,
itudy it In detail. The plane surfaces, J
iuch as the oceans, lakes and deserts, '
ire decorated with scriptural tests <
rhlch are supposed to apply especially 1
o the locality they occupy.
" Carlyle and His Pipe. I]
Carlyle smoked often and complained |
Quch of dyspepsia. A friend once ven- s
ured to suggest that his smoking might [
«rhaps injure and depress him. "Yes," ?
Jarlyle said, "and the doctors told mo }
he same thing. I left off smoking and (
ras very meeserable, so I took to it >
gain and was very meeserable still, f
ut I thought It better to smoke and £
e meeserable than to go without" 0
Connubial Contempt

"Drive a car!" repeated the better S
alf, with fine scorn. "Why, that man
in*t even drive a nail."—Baltimore S
