WHY HANK WAS NOT HANGED

ne Insisted Upon Having a Billed Shirt
and They Could Not Supply 1t,
When Hank Taylor was put on trial
| at Strawberry Hill for killing Steve
Brown, he pleaded guilty, and in a
nttIe speech to the crowd he said:
In course you'll hang me. I exnect
1t, and shall be disappointed if you
don't. But l want it understood right
now that l hey rights"
What be them rights. prisonere,
queried Bill Totten, who was acting
as judge.
"Waal, / want to be hung with q
new rope. / was brought up respec-
tably and l want to die that wav-
linen L want to wear a billed shirt. I
was brung up to wear billed shirts. and
l oont want to disgrace the family.
want to be shaved, to have nv hair
combed and parted in the middle, and
insist on Zeke Cooper lendin' me his
new Dutes. That's my rights, and
shall insist on en-
PRISONER, hain't you just little too
partk' lar|' inquired the Judge. "Hain't
1t putin this ere camp to good deal
OF extra trouble for no real benefit?
Whar are we goin' to get billed shirt,
for instance?"
Il dunno, but we hev got to hev one.
do you s'pose I'm goin' to bring up i'm
the other world with this old red shirt
on! They wouldn't allow me to stake
clalm or set up u shanty."
How are you goin' to be shaved.
when we hain't got no razors in camp?
we KIN furnish you some grease and
q COMB, but thar can't be no Shavin'.''
Got to be" replied Hank Il hain't
goln over the divide lookin' like a
wolf with his winter fur on. And as
Iur grease, want g'lar bars lie. [
am bound to look just as purity as 1
kim"
"Zeke, will you lend him your
butes?' asked the judge.
Nav! I could never feel easy in
'em ag'inr'
Then I don't hangr' retorted the
prisoner. mind you, boys, l hain't
denyin' that l killed Steve. whom
everybody knows was provokin',
cantankerous cuss and orter been kill
ed long ago, and | hain't kickin' as to
what will follow. I'm jest stickin' out
fur my rights. S'posin' any one O.
you was goin' to arrive in the other
world as a tenderfoot, wouldn't you
want to look fairly decent?''
That's so, that's so," unused the
judge. In course, it'll be known that
you cum from Strawbury Hill, and,
in course, We'll hev a pride in fittin'
you out in decent shape The prisoner
will be removed while we hev a talk
We had a talk. We couldn't get
white shirt, a new rope and razor
anywhere within 100 miles. And, as
Hank had observed, Steve Brown was
always saying mean things and pro-
voking quarrels and wasn't much ac-
count. After discussing the pros and
cons, it was decided to overlook the
offense and let up on Hank, but, after
telling him our decision, the judge
said:
But don't do it again, Hank. 1t
are the opinyun of some of the boys
that you were too darned particular
about the billed shirt, and of others
that you were right about wantin' to
make decent appearance on the other
shore, and so we decided to call it
squar'. Next time, however, Wen
hang you with mule rope and in yer
old duds and let ye run all the
chances"
WALL, boys, fix it to suit yourselves
and it'll suit me-" carelessly replied
the prisoner, and court was adjourned
and we returned to work.-Anaconda

A Gander Pulling.

Ibid you ever see a gander pulling"
asked George Horner. ''Well, if you
didn't" he went on. you ought to
hustle right down into eastern Ken
tucky and see the show of your life.
i went down there on business few
years ago, and after I had secured all
the passengers from the township I
went out to sort Of 'harvent home
few miles in the country. The prin-
cipal event of the occasion was a
gander pulling, which, as / subsequent
ly learned, was the most looked-for at
traction of the whole countryside.
about 2 o'clock the country SWANS
rode up by the dozen, each mounted
on rough nag as bony and coarse as
its rider. A strong hickory sapling
was bent over about three feet from
the top and tied with a rope, making
a sort of shepherds crook. At the end
of this crook, which was as springy as
a piece of thin steel, a tough, veteran
gander was tied by the legs. The rid
ers formed a line 100 yards back, and
at a signal started, full speed, each
man ten feet apart, for the gander
The riders rushed by the crook, yell
ing, shouting and screaming. AS each
man reached the suspended bird he
grabbed for it, Sometimes a handful
of feathers was secured, but more
usually only a squawk was the re-
sponse. For an hour the riders kept
up their wild sport, the old gander
still hanging on to life and making
noise enough for a flock of birds
by 3 o'clock the riders were half
full Of Kentucky mountain whiskey.
Talk about your wild riders of the far
West! They were never in it with
these gander pullers Of the Southeast.
Such yelling / never heard. Such ours
ing. laughing and shouting was never
surpassed. Suddenly wild applause
burst forth. / looked and saw a tall,
young fellow, a handsome man for that
region, borne on the shoulders of
crowd.
"He's got itr was the cry. He's
the best man.
"And so he did have 1.-THE head of
that tough, tormented old gander. Talk
about enthusiasm! 1t was wonderful,
and the drunk that followed still more
wonderful. If you want to see genu-
inc, brutal, savage sport among white
people, see the gander pulling in the
Kentucky mountains. 1t will prepare
you for the sun dances of the Apaches
lie.
The shot Drill.
In the shot process of drilling through
rock. steel shot are poured inside the
drill pipe into a ring or channel made
In the rock by a few revolutions of the
pipe The pipe bears on this ring of
shot, and when it is revolved it causes
the shot to revolve also and cut the
channel in the rock deeper. As boring
large holes through hard rock by means
of diamonds (which are now costing
from three to four times as much as
they did a few years ago. is very ex-
pensive work, the new process OF
drilling by means of steel shot will, 1t
is expected, be used in many cases in
stead of the diamond drill. A test
boring, eight inches in diameter and
800 feet deep, was recently put down

Democratic party that the Federal

lection Of such taxes shall be limited
TO the necessities OF tho Government

We denounce the Mckinley Tariff
Law enacted by the iifty-tlrrt Congress
as the eliminating atroeity OF class
legislation; we endorse the efforts
made by the Democrats OF the present
Congress to modify it's most oppres.
