Is Hanging . Crueitys

IS DR.. Paul F Eve, Of Louisville, has written
paa,plet to prove that hanging is not
ONLY unpleasant, but positively iEhuniarl as
means Of death. The doctor contends
that ii is an exceedingly difac nit matter to
lisleeate the human neck. and that this
event rarely happens In ordinary hangings,
the victim dying gradually cfastrangulaIion.

criminal IS not Suspended by the fall. and he
suffers terribly during that pcriod-irom
seventeen to; twenty-Scvcn IN nutes--he is
ellga yed in shutfiing off his mortal coil. In
deed the doctor thinks tIsat, with the ex-
ceptioi. of crucifixidr, hanging is the most
nainfuf Of all deaths. Df! Eve is doubtless
right in many Of his deductions. Hanging is

SINGLE COPIES, THREE CENTS

There, in the full light of the lamp, her
young form but half covered, bathed
in her own blood-there lay his daugh-
ter Mary.
And do not look upon the face of the
fatheras he starts silently back, frozen
to stone; but in this pause of horror
listen to the mystery of this deed.
After the father had gone down
stairs an hour ago Mary silently stole
from the chamber on the right, her soul
shaken by a thousand fears. She
opened the door on the left, and be-
held Washington sitting by table, on
whcn were spread a chart and Biule.
Then, though her existence was in the
act, she asked him. in tone of calm
polteness, to enter the room on the
right. Mary entered the chamber which
lie left.
= Can you imagine the agony Of that
girls soul, as, lying on the bed intend
ed for the death couch of Washington,
she silently awaited the knife, although
that knife might be clenched in fathers
hand.
And now that father, frozen to stone,
stood there, holding the light in one
hand, the other still clenching the red
knife. .
There lay his child, the blood stream
ing from that wound in her arm, her
eyes covered with CLASSY film
Mary !" shrieked the guilty father,
for robber and tory as he was he called
to her, but that was all he could say.
Suddenly she seemed to wake from
that stupor. She sat up in the bed
with CLASSY eyes. The strong hand of
death was upon her. AS she sat there,
erect and ghastly, the room was
thronged with soldiers. Her lover
rushed for rAard and called her by name.
No answer. Called again--spoke to
her in that familiar tone Of Olden time;
still 10 answer. She knew him not.
Yes, 1t was true, the strong hand Of
death was upon her, ...,.- -..-
Has he escaped ?" she said, in that
husky voice. fo' d"t'
Yes! !" shrieked the father. olive,
Mary, only live and Tomorrow / will
join tile camp at Valley Forge" .....
Then that girl, that hero woman,
dying as she was, rot so much from
the wound in her arm as from the
agony which had broken the last chord
oi llfa, spread forth her arms as though
she beheld II form floating there above
the bed, beckoning her away, She
spread forth her arms as If to iuclo5e

there grouped the soldiers there, with
a speecEless agony Un his brow, stood

flashing over the dark bed, with tile
