pL1xr ESCAPES THE MOOSE.
Assassin of Miss Cling Sentenced
to Prison for Life.

The Assassin of Miss Cling Sentences
to Prison for Life.
Minneapolis, May lit is all over
now so far as the principals in the
murder of Catherine NJ. Cling are con-
cerned. Harry Il. Hayward, the man
who hired the assassin. has been SEN
fenced to death, and Claus A. Bllxt,
the one who fired the fatal shot, Will
spend his days in the penitentlary
until the grim reaper calls him away
and he is ushcred to the a OF the
Great Judge. He was sentenced ny
Judges Smith and Pond. There Ia
been an effort to have the county at
torney allow n plea Of murder IN tne
second degree, which would make IRE
Imprisonment the most that could ne
inflicted, but to this Mr.. Nye would
not consent. Finally it was agreed
that Blixt should plead guilty to
murder in the first degree, and that
the court should sentence him I'M
der section 156 of the penal code.
which allows a court to certify that
there are exceptional circumstances
which should make life imprisonment
a hard enough penalty.
Hayward's brother and cousin
called upon Hayward in his cell al.
reCCly iICcf ID0 SeutcuCc dnu
him of the result of the case before
Judge Pond. He spoke quite freely
about the matter afterward, showing
that. he claims, justice has played Its
most gigantic farce.
"You see how this conspiracy a
worked" he said. "They put up a
nice job and made a jury believe that
l hired Blixt to do the killing. Then
they began to fall over BliXt, the al
legged %confessor, and fawn upon him
and hattcr him, and finally let the red
handed, cheap, uncomfortable fiend
get practically clear. That was just
what he figured on, and he got 1t.
Why. that is no punishment for him.
He had rather be in the penitent1ary
than free, for his lying conscience
would make him afraid Of his life. If
he had his own way he would choose
just what he got. Why, at the trial,
on the stand, he admitted he would
be afraid to walk the streets. So you
see he isn't punished at all. Well,
you'll all know the truth some time.
and then a mob will 60 over to Still
water and string this miserable liar
to the tallest flag pole. l may not
live to see it. for l expect they will
hang lie, but the rest Of the world
will e it,"

murrer to the complaint being sus-
tanned.

Burmese Girls,

In every household the daughter has
her appointed work. In all but the rich
er merchants houses the daughters
duty is to bring the water from the we'll
evening and morning. 1t is the gossip
ing places Of the village, this we'll, and
as the sun sets there come running down
all the girls Of the village AS they fill
their jars they lean over the curb and
talk, and it is here that are told the lat
est news, the latest hirtation the latest
marriage, the little scandal Of the place.
Very few men come. Water carrying is
not their duty, and there is a proper time
and place for Irritation So the girls
have the we'll almost to themselves.
Almost every girl will weave. In ev-
cry house there will be a loom, where
the girls weave their dresses and those
of their parents. And very many girls
will have stalls in the bazaar; but of
this will speak later. Other duties
are the husking Of the rice and the max
ing of cheroots. Of course in the richer
households there will be servants to do
all this, but even in them the daughter
will frequently weave, either for her
self or for her parents. Almost every
girl will do something, if it be only to
pass the time. -Blackwood' s Magazine.
