An exchange contains the following
item, which IS as true as preaching:
I" 1t takes live men to make live town.
Dead men are only fit to inhabit ceme-
teries. If they are really decently dead
dead all over-we tenderly lay them
away in the sleep of the tomb, but if
they are dead to all enterprise and
spirit, outside of the narrow limits of
their own selfish interests, and yet per-
sist in walking around, moving their
dry bones and calloused hearts and con-
:ciences where real business is wont to
throb and push with vigor, they are
only like the drone bees, in the way un-
til they are stung to death, taken by the
heels and dragged outside the hive of
legitimate industry. Twenty really
live men are worth more to town
and the public generally, than round
full thousand of such nasty and useless
material, that drifts around in rush.
ing stream that is aching and roaming
to turn mills and factories. Yes, live
men bless and dead men curse a town."

Advertising is to trade what speech
is to the individual. It is the medium
through which the seller speaks to the
buyer. Newspaper advertising is by
far the most effective, for the reason
that the newspaper possesses an indi-
viduality. A statement made by some
unknown person in crowd would have
little weight, while a statement made
by person Of known truthfulness
would carry with it due weight. Just
SO with an advertisement in the news
paper of influence. it is in a certain
sense backed by the paper, while an an
nouncement on dead wall has little or
no weight.

Some three months ago, Mary Rose
Matthews, a bright winsome little girl
of ten years, was adopted. from the
Denver Catholic Orphans home, by
Mike Cuddihie and wife, living on
ranch ten miles from Ouray, a small
mining town in the southern part of
Colorado. Recently little Rose sudden
ly died, and was buried by the Cud-
dihie's on distant part Of the ranch.
The little girl was cruelty treated from
the'first, the neighbors said, and her
mysterious death and hurried burial
aroused suspicion, and the coroner of
Ouray was notified. He Immediately
repaired to the ranch and eXhumed the
body, when unmistakable evidences of
cruel death were revealed. The body
was covered with knife wounds, one
leg was broken, the skull crushed and
limbs frozen. She had no doubt been
driven out in the winter storm to die.
Cuddihie and wife We're Immediately
arrested and jailed, and were tried and
found guilty Of murder. About one
O'Clock in the morning of the day fol-
lowing the trial Il band of masked men
went to the hotel, where Cuudihie and
wife were temporarily held in custody,
overpowered the guard and took the
prisoners away. They both cried out
for mercy, but as they had ever been
deaf to the pleading of little Rose for
mercy, SO the vfgiIants closed their ears
to the cries of the prisoners. They were
taken outside the town limits, where
the woman was hanged to the ridge
pole of a vacant cabin, while her hus-
band was hung to the limb of tree on
the opposite side of the road. Their
work being done the vigilants quietly
retired.

Chicago. The last man whom he hanged
was Luke Phillips, of Detroit, who shot
his wife on aWindsor ferry-boat and was
executed last June. Greenwood came
to Buffalo when he heard OF the West
