an Interesting tale of the execu
tlou of a noted desperado In
that ttate tome years ago. Just before
the sheriff adjusted tuc noose be asked
the usual question whether the man
tad anything to say.
MNoj I think not"-legan the con
victed one, when be was Interrupted
by a cheerful voice shoutlnf :
"Say, Bill, If you ain't fot anything
apedRl to say, would you mind giving
me flfteeu minute of your time Just
to let these good people know that I
am a candidate for their suffrage
and"-
" "Hold on, there!" shouted the sheriff.
"Who's thatr
"John Blank," volunteered some one,
Mmlng a rising young politician, who
has since represented his state for a
Dumber of years in the bouse of rp
eeentatlves at Washington.
"Who did he say It was?" whispered
the condemned to the sheriff.
"They say It's John Blank."
"I thought I recognised John's
voice," the desperado calmly remark
ed. "Well, he can bave my time, all
of It But go ahead and bang me first
and let him talk afterward." Lippln

"When 1 was 11 boy the whole fam
ily went to church," says a Kansa
City uiiiii. "We lived in the country,
and every Subbntli morning the family
couch was pulled out, a team hitched
to it, and the family vns plied lit. The
roads were awful, but that made no
difference; he had to go.
"I well remember that mother put
on her Sunday dress. It was a black
silk, and somewhere In It there was a
pocket and in the pocket a handker
chief aud in the handkerchief some
cloves. When we got to the church I
remember we went up in front, where
my father had a pew.
"When the preacher got going I also
remember that some of us children
would beglu to get sleepy, aud then I
know that mother would take out that
handkerchief and give out a clove to
each one of us youngsters to keep us
awake. I was thinking about It Just
the other day, and I Just wondered If
a child or a man in these modern times
would take a clove out of his handker
chief or pocket In church and put it In
bla mouth what In the world his neigh-
tor would think of him." Kansas City
Journal.

The Hlgheat.
A hard beaded westerner who had
"made his pile" had been Induced by
his wife and daughters to move to
New York that they might have the
advantages of a more fashionable so
ciety than that afforded in Smelter
City. It was a stiff fight, but at last !
their hopes seemed about to be real
teed, and Mrs. Brown was endeavoring
to be at ease with her first "swell"
caller.
"Do you attend a high church, Mrs.
Brown?" the caller asked.
"Oh, of course; we attend the best,"
Mrs. Brown replied languidly. "Our
pew rent is $1,000 a year. "-Philadel

To Bmuy Grew.
A small office boy who had worked
1b the same position for two years on
a aalary of (3 a week finally plucked
up enough courage to ask for an In
crease in wages.
"How much more would you like to
have?" inquired his employer.
"Well." answered the lad, "I don't
think $2 more a week would be too
much."
w ell, you seem to me a rather
small boy to be earning $5 a week," re
marked bis employer.
"I suppose I do. I know I'm small
for my age," the boy explained, "but,
to tell you the truth, since I've been
here I haven't had time to grow."
He got the raise. St Nicholas.

I ndrrrrrar and Chills.
The reasons for the flannel under
wear preventing chilling are these:
The material Is a bad conductor of
heat; hence It retains In Itself the heat
acquired from the body, and this heat
la largely given to the moisture absorb
ed. Flannel also absorbs more mois
ture than an equal thickness of cotton
or linen, and it retains molstvre better
than either. Now, the passing awav
of moisture into the air always means
the cooling of the surface from which
It passes. Taking an ordinary thiu
garment of linen or cotton, the loss of
moisture may be so rapid as to cause
a very great cooling, amounting, so far
as the skin Itself is concerned, to a
ehltt.
