''There's been scarcity of kind

woods took fire last fall" remarked
the grocer.

Nobody said anything about storms,
Uncle Josh,," said Jackson, hastily.
Uncle Josh gave look that silenced
him.

LYNcHED AT DANvlLLE, ILL.
Citizens Take the Law Into Their Own
Hands.

Citizens Take tho Law Into Their Own
Hands.
DANvILLE, ILL.,, May 81. - Early
Saturday morning mob which had
been in possession of Vermillion coun-
tvs Jail for several hours succeeded in
locating John Halls, Jr., and William
Royce in their cells, took them outside
and hanged them for assaulting Miss
Laura Barnett.
The story of the crime was the topic
of discussion here all day. Business
was practically suspended and shop
keepers and their clerks gathered in
knots on the street corners and dis
cussed the affair with farmers who
fiocled to the city during the day. Short
ly after nightfall ominous mutterlngs
were heard and some openly counseled
the more quiet of their neighbors to
take summary vengeance on the per-
petrators of the crime and not take the
chances of the laws delay or the tech
nicalities which might arise and even
tually free the men.
AS early as 10 o'clock the crowd con-
gregated on the main street, and it
only needed venturesome leader to
proceed to the Jail at once. That leader
was soon found. From whispered
threats the cry arose for vengeance,
swelling on the night air until it
echoed and reechoed from one end of
Danville to the other. A rush was
made for the Jail, where, under fear of
just such proceeding, the guard had
been reinforced, but constituted only
a handful OF men to face q frenzied,
bloodthirsty mob, wrought up to an
indescribable pitch and bent only
on having the lives of the two COVER
ing men within. Clamoring at the Jail
doors, the mob was met by Sheriff
Thompson, who denied admission and,
retiring behind the doors, locked and
doubled bolted them.
The crowd procured telegraph pole
tered in the outer door. The be-
:siegers thronged in and commenced
work on the inner door.
At o'clock Sheriff Thompson sent
for Judge Bookwalter, of the circuit
court, who addressed the crowd from
the Jail corridor. He counseled them
to peace and order, and for minute,
and but a minute only, his words
were needed. Then another desperate
was made to reach the cells
where the two men were secreted.
Finally Royce was located crouching
and shivering with fear. His cell door
was quickly battered down. A
score of hands dragged him unceremo-
niously from his hiding place un-
derneath the wooden bench which
serves prisoners as their bed. Half
dragged and half pushed he was
hustled into the dining-room and seat
ed on the table. A rope was, placed
over his head, and while part of the
mob kept close guard over him the
others continued the search for Halls
until he was discovered in another and
more remote portion of the Jail.
At 3:15 o'clock the mob secured both
of the prisoners and started toward the
bridge with ropes about their necks.
They were hanged almost upon the
scene of their crime.

An excellent lesson for persons in
any profession of life is contained in
the admirable reply made by the famous
Mrs. Siddons ON one occasion. to some
learned questioners. When her fame
as a tragedienne was at it's height, she
was persuaded one day to join party
of ladies, many of whom were persons
who might be termed ''blue-stockiRgs. :"
Among this formidable assembly were
Mrs. Montague, Mrs. Carter and Miss
Hannah More.
The object of this learned company
was to extract from Mrs. Siddons the
secret of her wonderful acting, and
Mrs. Montague was deputed 80 be
spokeswoman on this occasion.
Pray, madam said the learned
woman, addressing Mrs. Siddons in the
most formal manner. give me leave to

and moderns, and reduced them to
practice? Or do you suffer nature to
predominant, and only speak the I'M
