Senator Cannons bill for the publi-
cation of the pension roll. heretofore
referred to in The Herald, is not intro
duced by him in any spirit of hostility
to the pension system. He does not
favor the printing of big volumes con-
tanning all the pensioners in the coun-
try, but believes in the publication of
independent lists for local circulation
in each state and territory. His bill
provides as follows: THAT the secre-

How DauIe. Fake the News.

A curious instance OF newspaper fax
ing was discovered in Pittsburg last
month. Three evening papers had in
type a full account OF the scenes at
tending the execution OF a murderer.
Every detail was given, including the
conduct and last remarks of the con-
demned man on the scaffold. The
bogus extras were put through the
press and stacked up ready to hand out
to the newsboys. One paper supplied
the newsboys and kept them in a
room ready for the signal. But 1t
never came. The hanging was post
ponedI The prisoner never left his
cell. Some Of the affecting full ac-
counts leaked out, and they ere highly
interesting specimens Of the afternoon
fake extras.-Ex.

After weeks in the forest OF Fon-

Saturday Review. And yet as a for

may compare 1t with Dartmoor-Dart-

thickly with young trees growing close

ing upland with a scanty mantle Of
soil. through the frequent gaps in
which the broken gray powders OF the
naked earth sometimes rise in fantas-
tic heaps, sometimes line concavities a
mile across, or fringe the gaping lips
Of long ravines. Like Dartmoor, the
surface is arid, and you may tramp
miles and see never a pool; and yet,
on every side, you may descend from
the forest by green valleys into green
plains and find brooks leading mirac-
ulously from the dusty rocks to dip
under fringing willows. II is to these

Religion the OnIy Tie These PeopIs -
gard ms Unbroakmble.
From the reign OF Boleslas the Great
to the crime OF 1772 (the partition OF
Poland), the chivalry of Poland re-
PEELED ninety-one Tartar invasions. any
one OF which, IL successful. would have
at least Jeopardlzed the existence OF
European civilization, says the Amer
lean Catholic Review. For many CEN
turtles that chlvalry was the sole bar
rier OF Europe against the triumph OF
Muscovite ambition. and the reason OF
the Polish success Is to be found, not
In the unquestionable valor OF the Po-
lish heart, not In any solidity OF the
government which directed that valor,
but In the religious tie which bound
the Poles together-the only tie which
this restive people have ever regarded
as unbreakable. This is the most sal
lent fact in all Polish history. The
political constitution OF Poland was
the most faulty in Christendom. prob
ably in the world; and precisely be-
cause OF that constitution her history
is that of an almost continual civil war
"a condition OF things which in any
other land would have rendered for
eign invasion synonymous with nation
al ruin But, so long as the religious
tie remained. Poland could have 100.-
600 masters In the persons Of her frac-
tious mobiles; the entire people could be
serfs; and there would be but one law
and one country for every Polander.
For many centuries the battle hymn
Of this warlike race was a beautiful
canticle in honor OF our lady, which
had been composed by the martyr ST.
Adalbert, the first apostle OF Northern
Poland; and to mention only one OF
the many customs which show how the
Catholic spirit was identified with Po-
lish patriotism, what a lesson the Po-
lish boy received when, while assist
ing at mass. he noticed that at the
reading Of the gospel every noble drew
his sword halfway out OF the scab-
bard, in sign Of his sworn devotion to
the faith, even unto death.

Young Man Blows Baby's Head
Off Trying to Kill the Father
and Wants d Pardon.


Joe Walker, a Ford county lad, SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for life, having
been convicted of murder, is seeking q
pardon, and the application and accom-
panying papers on file with the state
board of pardons state that the murder
for which the lad was convicted was ac-
cidental. 3
He was infatuated with the daughter of
William Kimbrel, a neighboring farmer.
who tdisliked Walker and attempted to
prohibit the young woman from going
with him. They succeeded in carrying
on a clandestine courtship but the irate
father stepped in one night and made his
daughter, who had started to a literary
society with Walker, leave the young man
and go home. Walker also went home,
but was raging mad
