He Was Hanged.

Frank Mason was "strung upn
three times by mob in the wilds of
West Virginia. He was suspected
of stealing $43 and was captured by
a "posse,n of horsemen, who level
ed their guns on him just as he was
entering Il cornfield. He was then
subjected to variety of inhuman
treatment which would make a
Hercules shudder, with a view to
making him confess. He said : "At
dusk l WAS taken out Of the Jail to a
beech tree about fifty rods away.
They threw the rope over a limb
and swung me Off over little en-
hankment. The pain at first was
terrible but soon stars fitted before
my eyes. There were more than a
million of them, Il seemed to me,
moving in every direction. Then I
began TO see All the different col
ors imaginable, blending in the
most beautiful and fantastic out
lines. l tell you II you had a thous-
and paint brushes and all the paints
in the world you could not make so
many colors. This sensation was
pleasant and l thought l was in a
dream. l don't know how long
hung, but my most severe pain was
just as was coming 20 my senses
again. l shook violently and II
seemed as though It would kill me. +"

Destroyed By Dad roys.

No one but builder can realize what
annoyance and loss he is compelled to
endure from the depredations of mis-
chievous boys. No sooner is the found
alton for n building laid than the trouble
begins. When the workmen leave the
place then the boys take possession. They
begin by throwing stones, sticks and
everything they can get hold of into the
mortar beds, sometimes entirely running
them by shoveling in all the surplus sand
and refuse that arc left near the mortar
vat. They break and otherwise destroy
the finely finished bricks that arc used in
tho fronts Of residences, break up slate,
carry away iaths and do oil sorts Of dew
ilish things.
When the house IS nearly completed it
Is then tho mischievous boy does his
worst acts Of vandalism. When tbs
plastering is fresh on the walls it Is his
delight to take o stick and scratch and
mar the fresh plaster as much aspossible.
Nothing pleases these boys more than to
mako rude figures and scratch names
ard initials in deep lines on the smooth
surface of the freshly plastered walls
The loss to builders in st. Louis every
year by the deprcdations Of young hood
lulns is simply inestimable. 1t Is almost
impossible to find out the guilty parties,
and the builder lss to bear his losses and
annoyances with rs good grace as pos
