SIX FORT SCOTT WEEKLY TRIBUNE- MONITOR, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1924. She Reunites With Sister And Takes New Daughter When Mrs. Thomas M. Vyse, of Covington, came to Fort Scott, she knew she was going to have very unique experience of seeing a sister, Mrs. Tempie Ann Riley, of 119 1-2 Market for the first time in her life, but did not know that while here she was destined to adopt a little girl as her own.

Neither did she suspect that her visit would have much. to do with the improvement of the condition of Mrs. Riley, who has been ill. Mrs. Vyse was just one year old when her sister, Mrs.

Riley, married and left the family home in Indiana. That was 46 years ago, and in all that time Mrs. Vyse has never seen her sister, altho letters have passed between them many times. Mrs. Vyse is an aunt of Mrs.

Bessie Taylor, who recently had a divorce suit in district court here. She and her husband, John Taylor, have been having domestic trouble for. some time, and their little daughter, Florence 11. years of age, was some time ago placed by them in the Goodlander Home. Being interested somewhat in the little girl, owing to the family connection.

Mr. and Mrs. Vyse went to the Goodlander Home to see her, but without once thinking of adopting the child. Little Florence at once took a great liking both to Mr. Vyse and his wife.

Placing her arms around Mr. Vyse's neck, the child begged: "Please take me home with you." Now, Mr. and Mrs. Vyse have reared three children. They are getting along in years, and their youngest child, a son, will soon be a young man.

The advertising value of the dairy development in this county 1s impossiblo to estimate, but it no doubt is, and will be, worth sands of dollars. It was not long after local dairy boosters, a number of years ago, started a drive to interest the Missouri: Dairy Company, of sas City, in buying milk from this. county, that inquiries from other parts of the country began. coming after the Missouri Dairy Company had begun operations, and, announcement was made that the Borden Company would locate a condensery here, the number of inquiries increased, and out-of-the-county visitors were attracted. as ceiving Now, many with the thousands condensery of pounds reof milk daily, and the dairy industry of the county undergoing a steady and healthy development, a of letters is received every day containing inquiries.

Many of these are received by the Chamber of Commerce, and a considerable number also by the condensery. Also, a good many- are received by the Farm Bureau and by individual dairymen. It is impossible to estimate the number of other inquiries that are received by other local persons who are not directly connected with the dairy industry. The mayor, commissioners, county in fact nearly every local public official--at times receive such inquiries. Then, there is hardly a month goes by, even in winter weather, but that a del-! egation comes here from some othen countz to study the dairy development.

And it is impossible to estimate the number of individual visitors who come here with the thought of locating in the county. The old saying that there is nothing succeeds like success being exemplified in the experience of Bourbon County. Success advertises itself, without effort, and therefore is given an opportunity to succeed in an even greater. degree. FROM 30 SCHOOLS, $95.95.

Rural schools Responding Generously to Near East Relief Custard Gave $8.04. Indications are that the rural schools of the county are going to do even better than was expected in the Near East Relief drive. Miss May Hare, county superintendent, reports that up to this time she has heard from 30 of the 110 schools in the county, and that they have contributed a total of $95.95. This is an average of $3.20 a school. When the drive among the rural Schools started, it was announced that the goal would be fixed at one case of milk for each school, but it was explained that there was little hope of attaining that goal, in view the very bad weather at the time, of the opening of the drive.

That was shortly after big snow storm, and many the roads were so nearly impassable) that it was impossible to held sessions at some of the senooes, and at others the attendance was very small. Yet the 30 schools From which re-7 turns have been recetved, notwithstanding handicaps. have subscribed so generously that, if the averis maintained among the remainder- of the 110, the total rereipts will reach $330.20. Miss Hare calls attention to the fact that altho there are 110 schools in the rural districts, there are altogether 140 school rooms. If each of these rooms averages as much as some of the one-room schools, the total, receipts should be considerably more than $400.

It is interesting to note that some of the smaller schools are, so far, the largest subscribers. The largest contribution yet received is $8.04, from the Custard school. This is a one-room school with a total of only 15 pupris. These pupils contributed an average of more than 50 cents each.

-Archie Pryor, youthful bandit made good the determination he formed when he escaped from the Kansas state penitentiary, never to return to confinement behind those gray walls, doing so at the cost of his life. Today his body lies in a local morgue, the victim of a deputy's unerring fire, while local officers have les that Pryor's of from notified the penitentiary, authoritten to twenty-one years, imposed for first degree robbery, will never be served out. Pryor, in company with twelve other prisoners, made a neat getaway from the penitentiary last December 2, by crawling thru an abandoned tunnel. The dragnet subsequently thrown taut brought back all but four of fugitives. Pryor maintained his liberty until was shot down whlie attempting to escape from a shack near Vern, a suburb of Tulsa, last night.

He had been captured and placed in the Rogers jail, but escaped Wednesday "He was reported late yesterday hiding in the shack and when officers approachled the place last night, Pryor made a dash out of the rear door. Pryor was fired upon and he fell, a bullet piercing his head. He died in a Tulsa hospital, shortly before midnight. Archie Pryor was sentenced here about a year and a half ago by Judge Gates, following conviction on the charge of robbing the engineer and fireman, of a Katy freight train yards here. He and Drew Lewis held up the two trainmen and took from them their gold watches and some money.

At the trial, the trainmen were able to identify Pryor as one of the robbers, and this had much to do with his being convicted. Lewis was also Tound guilty and sentencled to the the time penitentiary. being During Pryor was held her in the county jail awaiting trial, he tried to escape, but c. M. Armour sheriff, knew him too well, and nipped the plot in the bud.

Local officers had had difficulty with Pryor for years. He had been arrested on many occasions, mostly on robbery charges, but had always: managed to escape sentences until apprehended for the robbery of the trainmen about a year and a half ago. When highway robberies became frequent here two years or more ago, local officers suspected that Archie, Pryor was and started a search him. we He managed to evade them, however, altho one night former Sheriff C. M.

Armour and the late Officer William Bloomfield, passed within a few feet of the fugitive. A short time after that Officer Bloomfield hearing that Pryor was at the home of a negro by the of Curtis, went to the Curtis home. When he knocked at the door, Florence Niles, Pryor's, sweetheart, opened the door. As she did so, according to Bloomfield's reafterward, Pryor fired at the officer. Mr.

Bloomfield returned the fire, his bullet wounding the girly in the breast. Shortly afterward a Ford roadster belonging to the city, and kept at the home Commissioner Elmer Coe, was stolen. Officers are strongly of the opinion it was Pryor who stole the machine. Some time afterward Pryor returned to Fort Scott, and not many weeks later, after a period during which there were many hold-ups here, he was apprehended on the charge of robbing the trainmen. With the capture at Kansas City a short time ago of Jess Payton, only 5 of the 18 prisoners who escaped from the state penitentiary at Lansing in two sensational deliveries were still at large.

Samuel, Circuit Judge And Prophet Review of Sunday School Lesson March 2, 1924. Read 1 Samuel. BY WM. SOUTHERN, JR. (Not Copyrighted.) Independence, Tribune-Monitor Examiner, has arranged, paper men of Missouri, Mr.

to write a weekly lesson for this paper. Southern is an interested student of the Those were wild times about 1000 years before Christ. The civilization of the world was young, men lived in fear of other men and might was right. Rude were the pleasures of the day 'and harsh the life of even the most wealthy. In our study for next Sunday this period is considered in its relation to God.

It would be much easier to make the study a phy of Samuel, considered among the Hebrews as next to Moses in his wisdom, courage, faith and power with God. Indeed, it is possible to study the period without a study of this sturdy, fine figure. Always there is one picture in the Bible which stands out in my mind, -just why I never knew. It is the picture of a woman, prostrate in a temple, her body shaking with emotion, her face turned upward and her lips moving and twisting without sound. It was Hannah, wife of Elkanah, the mother of Samuel.

Eli, the High Priest saw her and thought she was drunk and rebuked her. When the knew that he had done her al great injustice in his thoughts and that she was praying for a son, he spoke softly and kindly to her and told her that her wish should be gratified. When her child was born she called him Samuel, asked of the Lord. This was the Samuel of our story. He was dedicated to the service of God as a child, was taught in the temple, was a Nazarite all the days of.

his life, became a Judge and Prophet and a king maker and a king breaker. He established the first school of religious education afterward called, the School of the Prophets and which lasted at least uniti the time of Elijah and was Dean of that school. Our ideas of what we should do with our children and the ideas of, your children of what they shall do with us, have changed immensely in a generation. It seems to me that our home life has almost broken from its moorings. It is good to, go back 3,000 years to the story of a religious mother and her son.

Samuel was a model boy, perhaps we would nowadays call him a sissy boy and his companion3 would jear at him and ask why he did not get his hair cut. a Samuel never sowed any wild oats. I have heard fathers declare that it was necessary for a to sow wild oats and to show their own boys, where the wild oats. could be found. I do not 1 believe a word of this believe that not only it essary to sow a crop of wild oats but that it is inevitable that the boy who does so will reap the crop his sorrow and hits shame and to a briefer span of his living.

believe that a boy should be just as pure as girl and that when there comes a wedding one should bring to the other a life equally unsoiled. When Samuel was a boy serving in the temple the Philistines were raging victoriously through the land. It was about 200 years since the Isratlites had invaded Canaan there was no national coherence. The twelve tribes had local leaders and often were hard put to it to keep their new homes and PAYING INCOME TAX. George fice Harpold Will be at His in the Court House From March 4 to March 15.

the Covenant had been captured. The two sons of. the reigning High Priest, Eli, were slain in battle, Eli fell over and died when he heard the news. Samuel assumed the leadership, and there was a great revival as the people gathered about him. The Ark, did.

not bring luck to the Philistines. They knew it had something to do with the God of the Israelites and soon sent it back. Under the strong impulse of religious fervor the Israelites defeated the Philistines and the many years of peace under the wise and kindly reign of Samuel began. When Samuel gathered the lines power the first thing he did was to raise a memorial stone and hold a religious service. This stone was called the Ebenezer and marked the compact between the people and their God.

There is little in the stark history of these times to attract. In fact it is ugly and repulsive to us, the ways and the manner living crude and not to be followen. The history we have is found in the books which bear Samuel's name. The manuscript is said to be the very oldest of the Hebrew manuscripts, It is a priestly writing and the authors lived many years. after the events recorded and wrote, not so much as historians as Priests and the books were to show how God took care of his people according to his own promise, how he rewarded them when they obeyed him and how he punished them when they went For.

forty years, perhaps for sixty years, Samuel lived to be a hundred years old, there was comparative peace in Israel. Samuel acted as a judge and before him came large and smail differences to be adjusted, criminal as well as civil. He traveled from place to place, from tribe to tribe and held his court. He was a prophet of God, himself a man against whom there never was a breath of scandal nor of selfishness and he was the first man in the record whom all the people loved and trusted and whom all honored when he died. He founded a great school at Ramah where lived, his ancestral home on a mountain side, 3,000 feet above the sea where he could look, out over the whole of Palestine and thank God for a contented and prosperous people.

Another title he added to those he already bore as a Judge and Prophet. He would in these days be known as the Dean of the College of Raman. Was Samuel a success? Would you call his life one to be used as a pattern. He was not rich in money nor in houses nor in lands. nor in oil.

He was not a man who wore fine clothing. He was a man who lived close, to his God, and took everything to God. Prayer was to him a very real talk with his master. It will. pay anyone, no matter how familiar with the Bible, to turn again, and read the Bible story of childhood to life the of.

time Samuel of from his his death, mourned and loved by a nation united under his leadership. John R. Lyon has filed suit in district court against Louisa C. Patterson and her husband, Smedley Darlington and wife, and Hen- ry. J.
