1 ed offence and the first conviction has just been made To be sure all whitecapping has not been the work of brutes and cowards. It has been used as a reformatory measure where courts have failed to do their ' duty in punishing crime, or where public opinion has been outraged by I men who could not be held legally. ' But at Us best it has no excuse. At its worst it was but the cover under which the brutishness or degraded humanity cloaked itself in order to practice cruelty. And now whitecap-

ping must go.

THE WHITEEAP VERDICT'. That a jury of Indiana men. under the guidance of the department of state has found two men guilty of whitecapping, is matter for general congratulation. It is part of the spirit of the mob that has been rising over our country, and which we must stop. Whitecapping has flurished because of intimidation and cowardice. Prosecutors have failed and juries have hesitated to convict through fear, either on the part of the prosecutor and jury themselves, or on the part of the witnesses summoned to testify for the state. There was something particularly awe inspiring in the idea of being dragged from bed at midnight to be tortured by masked men who spoke no word. And so offence has follow-

With the nearing elections the campaign lie, fathered by the. opposite party makes its appearance. It is already here in local politics. When a Republican mixes in Democratic politics, except in the honorable strife of parties, it is an indication of a lack of business, the person having little to do. When the mixer, in butting in. starts a campaign lie, he reveals not only cronic idleness but deteriorating character. The lie is always nailed and the source held up to ridicule. Beware the campaign lie.

The weather indications point to a rise in the price of eggs.

It is fair to say, however, that no one thought it was spring. This weather is also bad for the candidates «ho are putting the I finishing touches on their campaigns.

A STRANGE SENTENCE. Punishment For Murder That Wae More Cruel Than Death. lu I'm'! a man died in the Catskills who had been condemned by one of the strange-t seutOmes on* record. Ralph Sutherland w;i' l«>ni in IT"! and lived 4u a stone house near Leeds. He was a man of violent temper uud morose disposition, shunned by bin nelgbl»ors ami generally disliked Not being able to get au American servant, he imported a Scotchwoman, and. according to the usages of the times, virtually held her in bondage until her passage money had been refunded. Unable to endure any longer the raging temper of her master, the girl ran away, immediately upon discovering her absence the tuau set off iu an angry chase upon his horse and soon overtook her. The poor woman never readied the house alive, and Sutherland was indicted and arrested on the charge of murder. At the trial be tried to prove that his horse had taken frigid, run away, pitched him out of the saddle aud dashed the girl to death upon the rocks, but the Jury did not accept the defense, and Sutherland was sentenced to die upon the scaffold. Then came the plea of the insufficiency of circumstantial evidence and the efforts of Influential relatives. These so worked upon the court that the judge delayed the sentence of death until the prisoner should be niuety-nine years old. It was ordered that the culprit I should be released on bis own recognizance and that, pending the dual execution of his sentence, he should keep a hangman's noose about his neck and j show himself before the judges of Catsklll once a year to prove that he wore tils badge of infamy and kept his crime iu mind. It was a more cruel decision than the sentence of immediate death would have lieen, but it was uo doubt In harmony with the spirit of tbeMlmes. Thus Ralph Sutherland lived. Ilealways lived alone. He seldom spoke. Ills rough. Imperious manner had gone. Years followed years. At each session of the court the broken man came before the bar of justice and silently showed the noose that circled bis neck. At last bis ninety-ninth year came, the time when the court had ordered that the utmost penalty of the law should l>e executed. For the last time the man tottered before f the Judge's bench, but new Judges had arisen In the land, new laws had l>een made, old crimes had lieen forgotten or forgiven, aud there was none who would accuse him or execute sentence. Indeed, the awful restriction that had bound bis life so intimately to the expiation of his crime was now legally removed. But the spirit of self punlshmeiU continued, and when Sutherland, after he had passed Ids hundredth year, was discovered dead, alone in his house, his throat was found to lie encircled by the rope which had lieen placed there nearly three-quarters of a century be-

fore.

A Vacation. A certain scientist In the service of Uncle Sam nt Washington Is said to be u hard taskmaster to both his official and his domestic servants. Being detailed once to accompany a scientific expedition on an extended cruise, the scientist is said to have unbent a trifle in communicating the news to bis personal attendant. “Henry,” said be, “bow would you like to go with me around the world?” "Do we go from east to west, sir?” asked the man. “Yes.” “Aud we lose a day going that way, do we not, sir?” “We do.” “Then, sir, I should like very much to go. It would give me a day off."— Harper's Weekly.

Ono Gift She Misted. Six-year-old Harry wanted to buy bis sister a little birthday present. His heart throbbed with joy nt the thought, though ho had In his pocket only 10 cents. Nevertheless a week ahead of time he went around the shops and came back with a very satisfied look. His mother asked him what he had bought. “1 got her a cream puff.” he said. "Well, you know, Harry.” said bis mother, “that won't keep fresh for a week.” "That's what I thought after I bought it mother,” replied Harry calmly, "and so I ate it.”—Ladies’ Home Journal.

How Fast He Could Go. A breeder and trainer of race horses who Is known almost as well In England ns he Is hero recently sold a horse to an Englishman. The Englishman before paying for the horse quibbled a bit about the price aud then said: "You know, I'd like to see the horse first just to see how fast he can go.” “Never mind about that.” said the trainer. “He can't go any faster than I can tell It.”—New York Sun.

£ » ^vvw% , vvse\*v\s\\\\x»'vvi Betty’s i! Decision. By LULL JOHNSON. ; right MR by C H Sutcliffe. Mournfully the somber melody of the dead march from “Saul” came through the double sushed windows of the Eagle House. The music gained lu uioiirufulness what it lacked lu Impressiveness. for Dan Hicks’ struggles with the unfamiliar clarinet added a wailing note not intended by the composer. Not one of the members of the (irantville Corpet baud was a skilled musician. Vance Bevnn moved over to the window to watch the passing of the cortege. First came the baud, shivering iu their gulidy uniforms, which they would not hide beneath their overcoats. Then followed the Niagara Hose company and the Grautville Hook and Ladder. The long, light trtfck of the latter was stripped of its ladders, and In their place was a platform, on which rested a flag draped casket. Behind this were two closed carriages and then a long string of vehicles of all descriptions. Hank Flagler joined his guests at the window. ‘•There goes a good man,” he said in the hollow tones that seemed most appropriate to the occasion. ”1 tell you, there wasn't a better mifn iu all Seoville county. He was always doing something. First It was the engine company. He got It the steamer. Just kept nt It uutil It bad to come. He said Grautville was getting too big for the old hand engine. He was right. What chance would there have been of saving the Vail block if there hadn't been a steamer?” "One of the leading citizens?” asked Be van as be proffered a cigar. Flagler nodded. "One of the best,” be declared. “We were all sorry wbeu he went to the Philippines. I guess he stirred them Islands up. Only out there four years, and he came home with a cool hundred thousand. Y’es. sir." “But why go to the Philippines?" questioned Be van. “It would seem that so clever a man should have no difficulty iu getting ahead nearer home.” "But Fred was in a hurry,” explained the hotel man. “Y’oii see, he had always lieen In love with Bessie Brewster. Bessie loved him, too, but she was au ambitious little thing. She wanted Fred to get ahead faster, and that meant the Philippines. He left it all to her too. 1 bet she must l>c all broken up. That's her in the second carriage, I guess. I see Betty Harvey iu with her. i “Of course the family is iu the first hack. I rode in that hack the night I got married. Lem Spriggs he says there's been enough varnish on that old hack to pay for a new one. and 1 guess he's right. Old man Harkness had It when lie set up in business as n livery back iu 1875. Every t'other year they slap on some more varnish, and it looks ns good as now again.” Flagler rattled on with bits of information as tlie various carriages passed. The first heavy fall of snow was upon the ground, and a few sleighs were iu the long procession. Bevan beard a little of the running comment. The mention of Betty Harvey had roused a chain of thought. He had run up from the city to argue with her uud bad fouiyl the whole town upset by the arrival of Fred Greyson's body Betty was busy comforting her friend, Bessie Brewster, and would not even see him. There was small hope that lie would be able to get speech with her, but he decided to wait uutil after the funeral. He wanted to make one last appeal. The two had met at the shore during the summer. Betty had given her love to the clean young engineer, but wbeu be hud asked that they might be married soon she bad shaken her bead. Stumblingty she bad explained her reasons for refusal. She was an heiress, aud in the little town iu which she lived she feared that the people might despise her suitor as a fortune hunter. Ever since she had come into the money at the deatli of tier father her friends had warned her against the wiles of the fortune hunters. She did not for an instant believe that Bevan cared for her money, but she was too proud of him to be willing that he should so be classified by others. Much the same feeling bad led Bessie Brewster to refuse to marry Fred Greyson until his fortune should match her own. Greyson had gone to the Philippines, where he believed that a fortune might lie acquired quickly. He had made his “pile," but on his way home the fever had taken him. From Manila the journey had been made In a -metallic casket. The last of the carriages had passed. The dead march still sounded clearly on the crisp, frosty air, and Bevan fell lu with the crowd that escorted the procession on foot. The road wound up the side of the hill to God's acre, where the yellowed headstones gleamed darkly against the freshly far n snow. The lire companies made a hollow square, within which the Masons formed for the funeral service. Betty Harvey stood with the chief mourners, supporting her friend, lint before the short service was concluded she had to lead the bereaved girl back to the carriage. Rapidly the hack drove back to the village. Vance Bevan had been there to help Betty lift the girl Into the carriage, and he had sprung to the driver’s liox to be of service when they should have reached home. It was he who bore the fainting girl

Into the hfluse, he who summoned the doctor, uud he was waiting when at last. Bessie having fallen into the merciful oblivion of sleep, Betty stole softly from the room. ‘Are you still here?” she asked In surprise as she came up to Vance. ‘I must go back to town tonight,” he explained. "Before I go 1 had to see you.” 'We have been all over that before,” pleaded Betty. “Can’t you understand bow I feel about it, dear?" ‘And does this not change your mind?” lie asked. “Look, Betty! 1 have come to let you decide for me. Already I am mitlriiig progress In my profession. I am classed as one of the rising young men among the engineers. My reputation has obtained for me an offer from South America. It is to go down there .and make the survey for a railroad. It will make me rich lu three or four years. “As matters are now I cannot make the same money here lu ten or fifteen years, but I ehu support you comfortably. You can give away your fortune to charities If you want. I can make enough for two. Shall I go or stay?” “Is there any question?” asked Betty. “Four yeare is a long time, Vance, but I can wait that long to see you escape tieing called a fortune hunter. Was there need to ask?” “They represent four years that can never be replaced," reminded Bevan. “There are excellent probabilities that I may come back home, as Greyson did. If it were my only opportunity I should not hesitate, but 1 have a chance here. It is for you to say.” For a moment the girl hesitated. All her life she had been taught to despise the title of fortune hunter. She loved Bevan too well to wish that title might be applied to him, even though she knew that under uo circumstances would he consent to avail himself of a penny of her money. It was a question between pride and love, and in a country town the opinion of others counts for much. Bevnn, reading tier answer In her eyes, turned to go. For an instant she remained silent; then the glance fell upon the crape draped picture of Greysou ou the wall, and with a little cry she stepped forward. Bevan turned to catch her in his arms. “I don't care what people say,” sobbed Betty. “Four years is too long, dear.” On the street without the fire companl ‘S were returning from the eeme tery, and the band headed the procession playing "The Girl I Left Behind M'-." Betty raised her head from Sevan'j . boulder with a little smile. “You will never leave me behind, will you, dear?" she whispered. Bevan bent his head to kiss the rosy mouth. “Till death do us part,” ho quoted reverently. Wrestling With English In Japan. According to a foreign paper, the following example of Japanese proficiency in the use of the English language was found in an advertisement in a case of towels received iu Canton: “I know you are acknowledge the Towel made iu Japan are more convenience iu using, and longer in existence than the Towel in Europe. Lately, however, the crafty merchants cheats the customers by making it change from light and coarse texture to heavy and fine by using paste, indeed these are most audacious manne. I was strike on this point, therefore for the sake of avoiding the small Interests, aud wishing to continue the sale for ever I endeavored to select the materials, to deduce the prices, aud the dyes not to fail till the Towel get broken. Wishing the reputation should be raised like the height of the mount Fuji, I named it 'fugi' brand. Lastly 1 beg humbly that ladies aud gentlemen should buy It nt everywhere bewaring ’M the trade mark ‘Mount Fugi.’”

An Excellent Waitress. Nurses in training have many hardships to bear, but perhaps none is worse than having to appear cheerful under ail conditions. A sense of humor is perhaps as great au asset us a nurse can have, for It will help her over many a difficulty. The daughter of a wealthy man became imbued with the desire to know how to earn her own living, and to that end she entered one of the large New Y'ork hospitals as a nurse. The work was to her liking, and as she looked on the bright side of everything she was generally In n happy frame of mind. Her particular "pet” was an old and illiterate sea captain who was in the surgical ward with a broken arm which would not knit. He was a cheerful old felldV, and his droll remarks gained for him the good will of everybody. One day when the nurse had paid him some little attention he said, with an appreciative smile: "Miss L. Is the best waitress I ever had!”—New York Times. Move About a Little. There is something Impressive in the story of a lifetime of persistent toll. But there is another point of view which deserves respect. The gadabout may lie a useless member of society, but the stay at home Is likely to be a narrow one. We find ourselves on this little planet, with its oceans and mountains nml mighty rivers and wide prairies. We know not whence we came nor if we shall ever pass this way again. Surely we may do our task better In our own appointed place If we look about the world, feed our minds with the glories of nature and discover how men and women before us have lived their lives and embodied their aspirations In the great arts of building and painting and sculpture. The w heatfield and the ledger and the cooking stove are facts of human life, but so are the Cologne cathedral, the Sistlne Madonna, the Canadian Rockies and the valley of the Yellow stone.--Youth’s Companion.
