A QUEER PAIR
Are Lee Harris and Abe Mitchell-Some of
 Their Antics.

Their Antics
 It does not often happen that speedy death is desired or invited by men in the prime of life and in good health, but such is the case with the two young negroes who have been senteeed to expiate on the 7th of June the crimes of self-con- fessed murders and robbery. and who are now safely behind the bars of the jail.
 Lee Harris and Abe Mitchell are alter nately getting religion, cursing. praying, fighting ,and wishing that the time would hasten when they would swing off and cross the stygian ford from which no murderer returns.
 They are a strange pair, these doomed men. Despite the awful doom hanging over them, they are apparently as un- concerned IS if such thing as dying had never been heard of.
 Wednesday night Lee Harris got hold of a piece of iron about inches long, and at all hours of the night would scrape 1t on the sidea of his cell as if attempting to cut out, and thus worry the guard all night.
 Mitchells mother came to see him and instead of crying and taking on as is the usual custom of such visitors she shook her finger and said; "Ah, hal Abe. dun tole you you'd get fotch up when you was bringin' all dem things to the house, and warned you, but you woundn't listen to yer nanny, and now youse sho' got to take de conserl1ense"
 Harris and Mitchell both. in speaking to the warden, said: Wish to God you'd hurry up de hangin'; wish 1t was to- night. If we're goin' to be hung, and we shore are, we'd like to hab de job done as soon as possible, and be dun with it."
 Sheriff Morrow says they are the strangest mixture of devilment cussed- ness candor and religious frenzy that he has ever seen, and thinks they will both die game, and honestly wish the ap- proach of their end.

Asa rule the young men of Japan are

industrious, polite and particularly DEF
erential to their elders. They have CLUBS

young rake wants to sow few via oaos

native drink-and his party sit arounu
on the floor with their food in bowls anu
upon trays before them, shouting louder
and louder as their blood becomes m
famed with the liquor. Five or SIX
eeisha dancers are then called in to en-
terrain them with songs and Dances
and the proprietor of the teahouse
sends them home in 'rikishas when the
carousal is over.-Chicago Record.
