with which he Is welding cruel IaSn-
barred to the elbow, while the girl stands

well dressed. while a number Of soldiers
stand in the background TO support the
proceeding with the Official authority

says.
In q country like America where one
is accustomed to find only progress and
new discoveries, one is very much sur
prised to see a turn backward like
punishment by the whip. This retro

The first person upon whom this
punishment has been inflicted is a
young girl Of IS years of age. who was
whipped on the public square of Ma

If one did not notice the modern
dress of the crowd which was present
at the scene in the presence of the
sheriff and representatives Of the public
force he would have thought himself
in the middle ages in seeing the IN
happy girl naked TO the waist. both

It is only necessary 10 say that
punishment by ff0gging is not author
