So thousht each guard and each con.

seemed chained TO the tioor and whose
face was whittier than the dead. One of
the guards could have touched a button
and signaled TIE engineer to shut off
steam, but he did not nov a hand.
Either guard had Il fair mark to shoot
at, but their pistols were not lifted. Up
and down-Up AID down went the ham
mer. but suddenly tie belt was thrown
over on the lOcsc pu!!sy and the mass
rested Oh tho anvil. IL seemed to these

through IA mis-: --such IL mis-, as rises
from earth Of Il sUmmor morning. 1t
seemed TO them that this mist thinned
out-cleareG away before r:lc influence
Of IL rising SIN, and by and Icy they saw
the child nesting on Dig Toms hairy
breast. one hand smoothing his cheek.
and seeming to cople frou Il long dis
lance off they heard her childish voice
saying:
"No, you wouldn't hurt Eellie--you
wouldn't hunt EoI!io! What makes you
cry? Have yoa got a little girl tool
Won't they let you 60 h0me TO see your

The long expected outbreak had come

felt such Il raging hate in his soul that
he was transformed into Il human devil.
The child had smiled into his burning
eyes-her soft touch had Jailed him
her words had brought back his reason.
Was he punished? No! A year Later he
was pardoned, and to-day another fair
haired, blue eyed, smiling child puts
her arms about his neck and says:

But somehow, come n Sunday,
He'll eat n bigger dinner than
He'd think OF on u Monday.
An when he's lone he tips his chair
Back 'gainst the kitchen winder,
An soon you'll hear II srorin there
When Ellis got his dinner.
But when he's dozed u little while,

Contrary to general belief, Munchau-

persons Of some of tho continental tour
lists you meet around the Metropole and
the Victoria. They repeat this CONVERSE
ton of one Of those enterprising but pre-
~varicating end Of the century explorers:
II visited Russia, Germany, Austria,
Italy,
"Indesdi So yoa saw Venice?"
"Well I rather guess I did"

One of tho r:c-t famous Ct medieval
otterances is a og.ious mixture of dia-
bolical wit and savage fanaticisnl. 1t is
told Of the Papal Legato Milo, at the
sack of BezierS, in ho"crusadc' against
the Albigeois. History, or tradition,
says that Wien it was asked how it
would DO possible to distinguish the
heretics in the town from the Catholics
the legate cried out: xiii them all!
God will know his own So the story
goes. But did the lesaie ever say it?
Or was it said by Arnold, tho Cistercian
abbot? Did anybody say it? The only
thing absolutely certain is that, express
ing, as it did, in the pithiest style, the
spirit of medieval fanaticismin religion,
1t might very we'll have been uttered by
somebody. London News.

One of the Kay County Bankers Again
Speaks His Mind on the Subject.
Ponca City, o. T, Jan. 16.-To the Ed
itor of the Eagle: Dear sir-My letter
in the Eagle of the I'd inst. has caused
great deal Of discussion over this ter
ritory, which proves that the Eagle is
generally read throughout our borders.
1t has given rise to an error which l
desire to correct so that there may be
no misunderstanding. There are two
Bakers in Kay county. The Hon. H. D.
Baker, who was councilman from this
district at the last session of our legiS-
lature. is no kin of mine. and l do not
want any credit for the noble work he
did in that august body, and of which
all are we'll acquainted. 1 am only a
farmer, on a 160 acre tract of land in Kay
county, and am not in a position TO de-
mand 800 or $500 for my work" and
get it. Now, regarding Mr.. Mcguire
answer to my letter in the Eagle of Jan.
2, am in a position TO positively deny
the charge against Major Mckinley,
that eff the national Republican plat
form favored free silver he (Mjor Nc
Kinley) would abandon the party" 1t
is a misrepresentation and cannot be
substantiated. Mr.. Mcguire is laboring
under a mistaken idea when he says
that il is statehood that the people are
looking TO Mr.. Thomas 3. Reed 10 give
them. 1t is free homes" which he
pledged to US through our delegate,
