There is where he stopped and snutfed

of the barn yard blew by his nostris.
See he quickened his tread. In passing
under that branch he brought down a lit

them of.

was on the point of taking his tail be-

and the demands of an empty stomach
pulled him through. He crouched there
behind that stone. a red blot on the

delicate odOr OF fat pullets and suCculent
young turkeys ticked his appetite; and

midnight tragedy was over. With the
gistening snow flying about him and his
booty slung over his back, Reynard
bounded into the woods.

A terrible crime was terribly re-
venged at Paris, Texas, last week.
Anegro fiend picked up a little child
of four years and quieted her fears
with candy while carrying her
through the street to a woods in the
suburbs, where this devil in human
form outraged the toddling babe, ard
then literally tore it from limb to
limb and sent the infant life in tor
ture back to its God. Then cover
ing the poor outraged flesh with
leaves he made his escape. But JUS
tice made no mistake and he was
tracked to another State, where he
was arrested, confessed the horrible
crime, and was brought back to pay
fearful penalty. Imagine the pratt
tling child at your knee the victim,
and then if you can, realize the pow
erful passion and desire for torture
that possessed the people of that
Texas town A platform was built
around a stout post on this the
wretch was placed and securely fas-
tened to the post. Then the parent
Of the outraged child assisted by rel
atives-and in the presence of ten
thousand people-inficted punish
ment that viii go into history along
with the tortures for witehcraft in
New England two hundred years
ago. Irons were heated red ot,and
with them holes we're burned into
the ravisher's flesh, his eyes burned
out and the hot irons thrust down
his throat. When their terrible re-
venge was done,o oil was thrown over
the negro and the platform and the
whole became a roaring funeral pyre.
Rolling in anguish the human fiend
passed from this world-to heaven
we know not, and to hell we hope
not-for such as he are unworthy the
tortures of purgatorY.
