Short Shrift.

A preacher at Fort Scott, Kans.,
preached a brief but beautiful funeral
sermon the other day. Here it is:
"A word to you all: Post norton
praise and love are in the air. People
kiss their dead who never stoop to kiss
their living; they hover over open
Baskets in hysteric sobs, but fail to
throw their arms about their loved
ones who are fighting the stern battle
of life. A word of cheer to strug-
Cling soul in life is worth more than
the roses of Christendom piled high on
casket covers. The dead can't smell
the flowers, but the living can; scatter
them broadeastin their pathway, there
fore, and pluck out the thorns, before
it is too late.'

Cleburne, Texas, July 13.-1he rela-

ability file an affidavit of lunacy just
before the execution Friday. At least
it is learned by the correspondent that
this is their intention to secure him
few more days of life, II nothing
more. District court is still in session,
and If Judge Hall does not adjourn 1t
before the date of the execution the
trial of lunacy can be heard at once.
However, 1t is held that If the Judge
adjourns court before the affidavit is
fled he will have to wait until the
November term of the court to hear
the trial There is a nice point of law
in the case. Renfro does not want the
lunacy proceedings, but says he is
ready to go and wishes the affair was
over with. He has been converted
