A NOVEL EXECUTION.

The Story of German Bandits Sud-
 den Taking Off
 And don't you find it very dull up hereall alone?" I asked. "No' he ans wered, mot so dull as you might think, by any means. You see there is pleanty of game to be had, large and small, for the shooting; the scenery is delightful to me, who like you, am a bit Of an artist. and then the banditti usually provide a little additional excitement What" I said, "are there banditti around here then?' Yes" he ans wered "most certainly, though not in the direction from which you have come. But as you proceed into Bohem- la you will find the mountains infested with them, and l shall send an escort down with you tomorrow. Indeed, in these piping times of peace it is chiefly for the purpose of escorting travellers through the mountains that we are here. You will have a specially strong escort tomorrow, though as we have here at present confined in the fort a notorious bandit we captured but yes- terday in a raid on his hiding place, and tomorrow I shall send him down to Rabensburg for trial. There is no doubt what his fate will be. Two mur- ders have been proved against him, and there are numerous improved ones, and hundreds of robberies down to his name.. It is, as you say, long way to send him, but Rabensburs is our head quarters, and he will be tried by the military there But you must be tired and glad to get to bed" Saying this, he showed me to a small bed room and left me to my slumbers.
 I was awakened early by the sound of bugle. and was soon out to enjoy the fresh air and fine scenery. I was immediately struck by the strong po- sition of the fort, the site on which it was built being admirably adapted for defence. The road. if road it could be pass would be better word--here ran for a full mile in a kind of glen or gully, lined on either side by lofty and precipitous rocks, which tow

BATTLE WITH A DEER IN A
 LAKE,

We would start out early of morn gal'-running on ahead We all knew that Sooner was liable to err at times, and our interest was never greatly aroused until "the old gal' added her treble to Sooner's deeper base. But this knowledge made not the slightest difference to Bill. Let either dog give tongue, and away he went with wild yells, covering the ground with great strides and clearing logs and other im- pediments in his path with mighty bounds.
 struck a runaway then he would sit down and walt for the rest of us to come up, occasionally giving a loud halloo to let us know his whereabouts We would place ourselves at our re- spective stands. and Bill would gener- ally make for the shore of the lake, to be on hand in case the deer should take to water. If this happened there was sure to be much excitement in his neighborhood for the time being. I re- member one incident that is apropos.
 A big buck broke cover near Bills stand, and dashed out into the wattr. Bill fired and succeeded in wounding the animal, but not seriously, and 1t struck out for the other side of the lake. Bill was immediately"p possessed" and with yell that brought US all for ward on the run, he hurled his rifle at the deer and then plunged into the lake in pursuit of the game.
 He was a powerful swimmer and gained rapidly on the wounded buck. He reached his side just as the dogs dashed out of the woods, and just as Jim appeared on the shore some dis tance below. This was Jim's first deer hunt, so we forgave him after it was all over, but 1t was exciting while it lasted Bill had seized the bucks an- tiers in his powerful grasp, and a mighty battle was on. The dogs were drawing near to lend a hand in the fight when Jim opened up with his re- peater and commenced blazing away indiscriminately In vain did we shout. He kept it up until he had emptied his rifle. and then he "came to" and sat down In a state of collapse. Fortunate ly the bullets went wide of the mark. That was the greatest sensation Jim ever created in his whole life.
 Bill was oblivious to his surround ings. Let thunder crash and moun tains fall-what mattered it to him as long as he had a deer in his hand? In spite of his great strength, unarmed as he was, he had all and more than he bargained for and it was an even match hafwHan i'm, tlo when Sooner artived on the field of battle. That ever ready dog sailed into the fight with the confidence born of blissful ignorance, and they made an end of the buck just as Jack and I ar rived on the scene. We hauled the ex- hausted but triumphant Bill aboard and likewise the much disfgured Soon- er.-Forest and Stream.

 As the bandit neared the end of the path the old gunner handed the lan- yard of the gun to subordinate and bade him fire when he lifted his foot. Then, taking a telescope, he directed his gaze on the fugitive. A deadly si- lence reigned in the fort. I could hear my heart beating plainly, and I believe every man was in an equal tremof of excitement. I half hoped, that the man, robberer and murderer though he was, might escape.
 When would the signal be given: The suspense was becoming uncomfortable. looked at Muller-he was gazing through the telescope Suddenly he kicked out his leg, still keeping his eye on the glass. A vivid flash followed, a deafening roar, which shook the fort, and then a cloud of white smoke ob- scured everything. When it had cleared away Muller was standing beside my companion, with a look of content on his face. T was right, sir" he cried; The was hit fair."
 True enough, nothing was to be seen where the bandit had been A loud cheer followed the announcement and the officer shook hands heartily with Muller, and retired to make a report of the matter, while a party was sent to collect the remains of the victim. A few hours later I left the fort with my escort, after a hearty farewell to the commandant. As we passed the fatal spot I shuddered to see unmistaka ble signs of the accuracy of the shot, and hurried on to leave the i'll omened place behind. d.--Chambers's Journal

The subjects, however, treated in this letter, important as each may seem in itself, do not press so impera- lively for solution as the question which the platform declares to be the paramount issue in this campaign. Whether we shall adhere to or aban- don those ideas of government which have distinguished this nation from other nations and given to it's history it's peculiar charm and value is ques- ton the settlement of which cannot be delayed. No other question can ap- proach it in importance; no other question demands such immediate con- sideration. It is easier to lose repu- tation than to establish one, and this nation would find it a long and labori- ous task to regain its proud position among the nations if under the stress of temptation, it should repudiate the self-evident truths proclaimed by our

By inadvertence the income tax plank agreed upon by the resolutions committee was omitted from the plat form as read and adopted. The sub- ject, however, is covered by the re- affirmation of the Chicago platform, andI take this occasion to reassert my belief In the principle which under lies the income tax. Congress should have authority to levy and collect an Income tax whenever necessary, and an amendment to the federal const- tuition specifically comforting such au- thority ought to be supported by even those who may think the tax unneces- sary at this time In the hour of danger the government can draft the citizen; it ought to be able to draft the pocketbook as well. Unless money is more precious than blood, we cannot afford to give greater protection to the incomes of the rich than to the lives of the poor.

WHY BRONSON GAVE UP CINCH
His Wife Kept Too Close Tab on His
Late Hours and Made Him
Miserable.

After acquiring snug little fortune
on their farm old man Bronson and
his wife concluded they would move
into Chicago and spend their remain
Ing days in downright solid enjoy
ment, They were getting along well,
visiting stores twice day, watching
the crowds in the street, sitting on
their front stoop in the evening, when,
unfortunately, the old man became
acquainted with some of the boys
and learned an evil game of cards
called "cinch." Luckily all of Bron-
sons first steps in this path of crime
were taken in the afternoon under
! the guidance of n lot of the old boys
always to be found in small village
and who have nothing to do but go
downtown every day in the year.
One evening, says the Chicago
| Chronicle, Bronson told his wife that
he would have to go down that night
to attend u meeting of the council,
as matter relating to their sidewalk
would come up which would require
come home very late to supper one
evening after n game of checkers, as
he said, the old lady had had misgiv-
ings. Upon Bronson's Council" prop
osition she looked up from the sock
she was knitting and bored n couple
of holes in the old man with her

"IIow late does the council keep"
she snapped, and her teeth came to-
Cether like a steel trap.
Guess it ginerally holds till bout
leven," the old man venturcd, timid-
ly avoiding her eye.
whats that?-'levcn o'clock" al
most shouted his wife, dropping her
knitting.
well, they mchbc git out sometimes
n leetle before that time said the
old man, crawfshing.
You see that you git In by ten
o'clock, and no later"
When It was ten o'clock that night
the old man was too deeply engrossed
in other things to think of time. 1t
was a quarter of two o'clock when
the old man, with his boots in his
hand, stealthily crawlcd up the front
steps. He halted at the door n mo-
ment and listened. lie could feel or
hear nothing but the humping of his
heart. Then 1oiselessly turned the
key in the lccI and congratulated
himself that II didn't make sound.
He had almos pushed the door open
far enough to squeeze in when it gave
an awful squeak" 1t gave him
faint llna of feeling in his stomach,
but he managed to swear at himself
for not having oiled the hinges that
day. He almost dropped his boots
when voice from upstairs came down
with a Notwithstanding, grating
sound:
Bronson, is that yo-2'.
There was no answer, cnd again the
voice came down more threateningly
than before:
Bronson. I say, is that you?"
"Yes, 'tiz," answered Bronson, feeb-
ly.
"Well, what time o. night is it?'
tore through the air next, and Bron-
son saw streaks Of lightning.

night"
Toward midnight hey? How near
midnight?"
"Well, it's leetle after 12."
"lIow much after l2?' Then he
heard sounds as of some one getting
out of bed and hunting for Il match
and he family but quickly responded:
well, an hour and forty-fve min
utes. if you must know"
The next day Bronson told the boys
he didn't care very much for cinch
and he guessed he wouldn't play any
