Torture In Punishment,

The constitution of the United States
and the constitutions Of the various states,
in prohibiting cruel and unusual punish
monts, were not fighting an absurdity.
The use Of torture in legal processes was
not, when these instruments were framed
so remote as it is now.
When Sir Thomas Dole came as high
marshal to Virginia, he crushed conspir-
acy by killing the ringleaders by torture
One had bodkin thrust through his
tongue and was chained to a tree until he
died; others were broken on the wheel. 1t
is quantity stated that Sir Thomas was "a
man of good conscience and knowledge in
divinity"
Dolo's date was 1911 The next notable
instance Of the use Of torture was in 1892.

was issued Ernest Oppenheim, while tray

play in the original. Quick in thought
himself, he recognized Immediately in the
author one of the greatest thinkers of tho
time. So for his own pleasure, with but
little thought Of publication, he made the
first English translation of what is now
lbsnn most famous work.

An acquaintance Of Mr.. Oppenhcim was

"Why," he exclaimed, "Ibson does moth

efficient part OF life. He shows but the
poor piece Of tho day. He will not expose

Mr.. Oppenhcim shrugged his shoulders.

BRIGHAM CITY, Sept. 11.-Today
at / o'clock p. m. the spirit took its
flight from the body of F'ruie Snow. the
15-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs
Lucius A Snow, of this city.
The circumstances leading up to the
untimely death of this bright young
girl are unusual.
A week ago Monday, Miss Fruie was
out in her fathers vineyard on the
mountain side, half o. mile north of
Bingham. In walking along her foot
struck a soft, rolling substance. Look
ing down the girl saw she was upon
a great striped snake. The discovery
gave her such a shock that she tainted
dead away. When she regained con-
seriousness Fruie was unable to tell
positively whether the snake bit her
or not. Although rattle snakes are
found in the vicinity, she thought this
was only a big water snake or a blue
racer. One foot gave her considerable
pain, but that, it was thought, f-as
wrenched by the fall when she tainted
A large lump finally appeared; the girl
grew worse and finally died today
The body was cold but few hours
when it turned black This showed
conclusively that the girl was bitten
by a poisonous snake.

sympathy to the afflicted family.
