PORTER was devoid Of Christian
training; his ex scutioners were in part
members OF Christian churches. PoR-
TN was boy with much passion and
hut little experience. The white men
who executed him knew tbs law and
we're thoroughly cognizant of the
srime which they perpetrated.
Above the mob at LIMoN, COLORADO,
might have been seen the words Of the
Constitution of the United States de-
elaring that "cruel and unusual pun
ishment shall not be inflicted"
But the mob was determined to
wreak vengeance even though the di-
vine law had deereed, vengeance is

These methods have been discarded in
Christian countries as barbarous. 1t
is useless to say that PORTER got
what he deserved.
The very nature Of his punishment

Opportunity knocks at every mans

a broken friendship is much like

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man OF New York
explains some very interesting facts about Major;
Cement
The multtudes who this standard article
know that IL is many hundred per cent better than
other dement's for which similar claims made,
but a great many do not know why The simple
reason Is that Mr.. Major the best material $
ever discovered and other manufacturers do not
use them, because they are too expensive and do
not allow large profits. Mr.. Major tells US that
one Of the elements OF his cement costs s275 q
large share OF the so-called oements and LIQUID
glue upon the market are nothing more than siv-
teen-eent glue, dissolved in water eitric acid,
and, in some cases. altered slightly in color aud
odor by the addition OF cheap and useless mate
riAls.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and twen-
i've cents bottle and when dealer tries 20 sell
substitute you can depend upon 81 that his only
object is to make larger profit
The proit on Majors cement is as much as any
dealer ought 10 make on any cement. And this Is
doubly true IN view o. the fact that each dealer
gets his share OF the benefit Of Mr.. Majors adver-
Using, which now amounts to over 5000 a month,
throughout the country. Established in 1876.
