"Well. my man. do ynn know whc

"No, nor I dinna carel" was the
nonchalant reply.

Hurried Up the Execution.

"In earlier days" said Walter E aur.
chill Of Topeka at the Hotel Imperial
yesterday, "when man was to ne ex.
eoated tho community in which it oc-
CURED made an event of it. The hang
;aSs wero hold il public and Il .he
open. Generally tho gallows were
placed on hill, so that a good view
could be had by all. The rural popu-
lation, bringing their luncheon with
them, came from the distant parts of
the countryside end the streets gener-
ally took ca the appearance OF fair or
circus days. Booths where lemonade
snd such thinga were sold, merry 60
rounds, shooting galleries, etc., were
all there, and it was generally lively,
interesting and amusing day for every
one but the condemned. Apropossof
this manner Of treating an execution,
my governor used to tell an amusing
story The little tcwn :: The North.
ern State from which he had come was
the County seat, and there one day
was to occur hanging. 1t was, I
think, the last execution that occurred
in that State, capital punishment hav-
ing since been abolished there. When
the fats! cay foS the accused man
came Che people began to arrive carly
From far and near they came, end as
the hour for the execution drew near
the streets were jammed to suffoca-
tion. The execution was scheduled
for noon, but at 1890 the heavens
took on an ominous look and by IL
asdriszling rain had begue, which bore
good promise Of becoming steady
downpour before the @ey had waned.
The people began to grow anxious,
but the majority huug on. At this
juncture the Sheriff went to the con
demned and said:
/" Look here, Bill, the whole ooun-
ty has turned cut to see you turned
of, and now there's rain started
and every ones anxious to get home.
They will most Of them make it all
right il theS can start in, a few min
utes, bat if they'w wait until noon the
raads will be in bad condition and
many OF them won't get home in time
to Do the ohores-and that's serious.
You're to be hanged in an hour, and
an hour more or less can't make
much difference to you, while it makes
aiet to them. Now like the good fell
low that you are, won't yon come out
aud be hanged now?"
'Mfter some thought the condemned
naan replied: 'I'll.do it if you'll give
me red necktie to wear and hold an
umbrella over me on the way to the
gallows."
This was agreed to and that hang
angswas pulled off an hour ahead Of
scheduled time, although the condemn
ed complained bitterly that the sheriff
held the umbrella go Ghas the water
trickled down the back of his neck.
Strange as it may seem, this story in
it's essential features is literally true. y
