His wife slept in the prison last might and visited the condemned this horn ing, remaining until tonight She said he smoked necessarily, talked constant ly of his case and his nervous system appeared completely prostrated. But he still talked hopefully and would not admit the possibility of failing to se- cure a further repsite.
 Although Governor Morton has sev- eral times refused to interfere further in the case Mrs. Buchanan left for Rhinecliffe on the last train tonight to make a final appeal for executive clemency.
 Just before leaving Mrs Buchanan was allowed to see her husband. She told him that no opinion had been re- ceived from the attorney general. This seemed to have a quieting effect. Mrs. Buchanan will not see her husband again if the execution takes place to- morrow

The Mantle Of Charity.

1t is the one garment the fashion Of
which never changes, writes Ruth Ash
more in Ladies Home Journal The
years may go and come, and yet she who
cloaks herself in this mantle is at once
happy herself and the giver of happi-
ness. In cut it never changes Il is al
ways large and full, SO that it can en-
velOp those who are unhappy and give
them warmth and comfort Like the
cloak worn by the prince in the fairy
tale, it Is invisible to all but those whose
eyes are made clear by faith. Ii is the
garment that 1 would like my girls TO
wear. 1t is true that much patience and
much self denial are required before
this cloak is put ON, as il should be, for
all time, but once assumed the amount
of joy to be got from it and the happy
heartbeats to the wearers Of it cannot
possibly be oveEestimated-

Wagner, the deposed priest, and Maud
Steidel together for life. They were
married at the residence of the brides
mother, where Wagner was taken from
the county Jail. A few intimate friends
witnessed the ceremony. and the priest
was then taken back to Jail. Mrs.
Steidel, the mother of the girl, con-
seuted reluctantly to the match, but
she was Frustrated after the ex-priest
and her daughter were married. She
may not allow the girl to live with
