WITCHCRAFT IN ENGLAND. The Last of the Judicial Prosecutions and Executions. Sir Matthew Hale, it is true, hail hanged two poor women at Cambridge in 3 CG 1, but a fow years later Lord Chief Justice Holt Bet himself strongly against such charges and in every, caso tried before him directed the jury to bring in a verdict of acquittal. In a celebrated trial at Guildford in 1701 not only was the supposed witch found not cuiltv. but her false accuser, one

John Hathaway, was condemned to a year's imprisonment and to stand in tho pillory thrco times. Yet, horrible to relate, a woman named

Hicks and her daughter, a child of

nine, were hanged together at

Huntingdon on July 28, 171G, for .. , r l 1

raising a storm oi wmu in with tho devil.

The last iudicial ' sentenco for

witchcraft in England was in 173G, one Jane Wcnham being actually

found guilty, according to the in uictmcnt, of "conversing familiar

ly with tho devil in the form of a

cat." The judge, however, procured a reprieve for poor old Jane, and

she was ultimately released, to end

her days in peace. Last, the witchcraft net was re

pealed for the United Kingdom in the same year. It was quite time, for only nine years earlier, in 1727, a woman was brought before Captain David Koss, deputy sheriff of Sutherland, charged with "causing her daughter to be shod by the devil," and so making her lame both in hand and feet. Tho fact having been proved to the captain'a satisfaction, the old woman was put into a tar barrel and burned at Dornoch.

The weather being cold at tho time, we are told that she "sat composedly warming herself by the fire prepared to consume her while tho other instruments of death were getting ready' Tho la'st attempt to execute a witch in England ended disastrously for tho Dcrnetrators. In 17Ö1 at

VARIETY ON HIS TABLE. He Had Four Kinds of Meat and Four Kinds of Oread. Old man Wow ton, tho meanest citizen in all tho blue grasss country, drove up to tho market place in Lcxineton. where an army of ne

groes stood about or lay basking in the early morning sun waiting for some man to hire them. Tho old man was eo stingy that ho usually had great difficulty in engaging ncgooö to do extra work on his farm, ut this time he struck a bargain immediately with big Bill Saundcr3 and the half dozen powerful but lazy blacks who follow at his heels. All tho others were greatly surprised to see this gang ambling out on tho big road toward Mr. Wowton's place. Next morning they were mystified to see big Bill and his cronies again in tho market place. "Whndja doin' hyuh, Bill?" asked Hannibal Harrison Tyler. "Lookin' fo' wuk," Bill replied sadlv. "Thought you all wuz wukkin for Mistuh Wowton?" "Ynas, we sut'nly wuz wok'in fo Mistuh Wowton. He come to me

PRINTING is the ambassador of trade. It is sent out to acquaint your customers with your . business. It goes where you cannot be; it tells the story you would have told had you beenable to go in its stead; it is the means by which you hope to attract attention to your house: to interest the public and secure patronage, if at all possible. In order to achieve these results and secure edequeat returns for the money invested, it is vitally - essential that your printed literature have qualities. Ordinary printing is forgetable printing. Distinctive printing impresses itself upon the mind and brings results. 31w Courier (Printern, By Ben Ed Doane, Jasper, Indiana.

there was naturally no opposition. Indeed, as the "affair" became serious it was evident to all, including John and Molly themsolves, that the parents concerned were delighted. As yet there was no formal announcement, but every one knew that it was "understood," and evening after evening John talked to Moll ly on the front porch, qften lingering after tho other Nelsons had retired.

In some countries it is the custom of the weaver birds to colonize and build one big flat topped platform, two or three yards across, wluch is so admirably put together as to shed the rain as well as any roof could do. Under this roof they make individual pocket shaped nests, bringing up under this unique structuro a large and interesting family of little weavers. There is another bird, called the

"Is anything wrong, Mr. NelEon?" he began. "Am I to infer tliat you object to my being here ?" "Well, no, not exactly, John." Mr. Nelson, coughed slightly, hesitating. "It's only that mother and I would like to get a little sleep." "Father," cried Molly, quito indignant, "wo couldn't have been disturbing any onol John has been talking very low" "I don't doubt that, my dear." Mr. Nelson was beginning to enjoy tho situation. 'Tt's not that, nor have I any objection to John's talking to you. In fact, I haven't an objection in the world to John nor to his conduct, except" Mr. Nelson is open to suspicion of having prolonged tho matter unnecessarily at this point. "except in one thing. Mrs. Nelson and I do object seriously, my dear John, to the habit you seem to have formed this evening of leaning against tho bell push. Our bedroom is next to tho kitchen, and this continuous boll ringing ia not conducive to Jisose."
