port of the lynching published in one of
the Kansas papers alleged that before
his death he made a confession, in which
he said he had once committed murder

been hanged. 1t is now said that the
Evans who was lynehed in Kansas was
one of the principal witnesses against
King and Owens, and that they are the
persons referred to by him in his con-
fession. Should these statements turn
out to be true, they will be likely to
cause unpleasant feelings in Sampson

When the Shadow Lifts.
BY EBEN Z. REXFORD,

Miss Wentworth came up the path
slowly. Aunt Betsy-she was "Aunt
Betsy to the whole neighborhood-
who had been watching her through
her spectacles ever since she came
through the gate, wondered for the
hundredth time at least, what sorrow
could cling to life SO young as hers,
and leave so deep shadow on her face.
For Miss Wentworth's face was not
a happy one. 1t was like a child's
when It is in dread. The blue eyes
seemed always full of expectation, and
the shadow i'm them told that that which
was expected was something bitter and
fearful.
Miss Wentworth's face was a pure
and truthful one. Aunt Betsy could
see that whatever the sorrow of her
life consisted in, it was not the sorrow
of guilt. From the day when Miss
Wentworth came to board in the fami-
ly, Aunt Betsy had liked her, and as
the weeks went by, and she grew to
know the girl better, she felt satisfied
that the shadow Oh her heart came from
something beyond herself
Il want to get away from the world"
the girl had said, when she sought a
home in the farmhouse. At least from
all of the world know anything about.
1 want quiet and rest. 1 am tired"
She never said anything about her
friends, and Aunt Betsy sometimes
wondered if she had any. She was 81
lent as to her past, and Aunt Betsy un-
derstoed well enough that her boarder
wanted it to be as book that is closed
and laid away. What she dreaded most
was that something might open it at
one of its bitter pages, and she should
be obliged to go over the pitiful story
again.
She had secured the little country
school, and had at once won the good
will Of the children, and with them for
her friends, it was easy for her to gos
into the good graces of their parents.
Every body liked Miss Wentworth; she
was so quiet, so thoroughly lady like
and kind.
81 have brought you a letter." she
said, as she came up the steps. "Per-
haps it is the one you have been look
ing for so long"
81 shouldn't wonder" answered
Aunt Betsy as she took the letter. @You
look jest tired out. Set down here In
this rocker, an let me bring you a good
cold drink of water"
ooh, don't mind me-" said Miss Went
worth, dropping her straw hat on the
floor, and sitting down i'm the doorway,
in detected way, her head dropping
on her hands wearily. 81 am tired,
guess, and-and-"
Her words were drowned in a sudden
fit of weeping. The lonesome, SORROW
full pain at her heart, which she had
striven to keep out of sight as much as
possible was up in arms tonight and
overcame her.
ePoor thing" said Aunt Betsy, her
kind eyes full of tears, and her face full
of sympathy. And having said that,
she was at a loss what further to say
and do to comfort this girl whose trouble
she knew nothing of.
Miss Wentworth got up and went up
to her room. And when tea was ready
she did not come down. She had a
headache, she said.
ga heartache, more likely" Aunt
Betsy said to her husband, as they sat
down to supper. "Poor thing! l feel
sorry for her."
After supper was out of the way,
Aunt Betsy bethought herself of the
! letter, and sat down to read it.

Two Men Hanged for a Crime
They did not Commit.

One of the most notable executions
that ever occurred in Kentucky was the
hanging of Captain William p. King
and Abraham Owens, at Franklin, in
June, 1867. King was the leader of a
gang of thieves who stopped several
trains on the Louisville & Nashville r.
R. and robbed the passengers, and Ow-
ems was a member OF Kings gang. The
TIVE were convicted of numbering Har-
vey King half-witted brother of Cap
tain King, and it was asserted that the
murder had been done through fear thai
the half-witted brother would expose
tho robbers. The day on which the
hanging took place was intensely hot
and the crowd in front of the gallews,
suffering under the blazing sun, grew
impatient at the seemingly intermina-

The editor of the Louisiana, Mo-,
Press, in relating what he knows about
farming, touches up the hog question in
this style: "To make Berkshire pigs out
of your hazel splitters,select cool day,
stand them on their hams, tied to sap
ling, and drive their noses back into
their shoulders, leaving about an inch
protruding. If you look at the agri-
cultural papers, you will see that all
blooded hogs are fixed this way. If you
have any whose noses are longer than
the rest of the body, better sell them to
an artesian well company for drills, as
YOU cannot drive the nose back without
telescoping the whole pig. When you
cut up hogs, leave the ham square,
leave some hair too, salt everlastingly,
and they will be worth several cents
less per pound than when trimmed and
cured so that Christian can eat them."
