Maple Fudge.

Maple fudge is liked better by many
persons than chocolate. Put into a
saucepan one-half cupful Of granulated
sugar, one and one-half cupfuls Of
scraped maple sugar. and cupful of
milk. When the sugars melted and
the mixture hot add two tablespoon
fuls of butter and boil for twenty min
utes. When it hardens in cold water,
it is done. Upon removing it from the
fire add teaspoonful of vanilla. Be-
gin to beat as soon as it comes from
the fire. When 1t shows signs Of gran
ulation, turn into buttered, shallow
tins, and when cool enough mark into
squares. Two tablespoonfuls of grated
cocoanut and cupful Of walnut or

THE AUTOMOBILE.

ft Has Come to Stay and Ii Bound to
BE Lower In Price.
At present automobiles are too cons
p1icated and prices are too high for
general adoption. The ratio Of MAJ
chimes to population in the United
States. 1900 to $4,000, 900 say-that H.;
one to every $500 persons-does not at
first glance appear promising, but
when we consider that only three years
ago the ratio was one to 100000 per-
sons a, very different aspect is pre-
sented, and it may be safely concluded
that with such possibilities of demand
the automobile must Of necessity
grow to meet the measure of it's great
ness. American makers are quicker to
see this opportunity than are their for
eign rivals, as is proved by prices
Foreign machines are sold in thi.
country at from $500 to $4,000. the
record price, paid by wealthy New
Yorker. for. French machine, while
the highest priced American machine
is 5000, and hundreds are in use
which cost their owners from $3.50 to
$500. = =
A good horse and wagon may be had
for $500, and the automobile must ap-
proximate this figure to become popu-
lar and give the horse some hope that
at last he can quit work and live like a
gentleman. That this may be done
and still be profitable to makers Is
shown in the history Of bicycle price
and in the further fact that one Of the
first American makers, with the popu-
lar idea in view, made machines to sell
at from $500 to 5000 and advanced his
prices later because he could get what
- ever he asked.-William ]. hampton in

Immediately after the shooting the in

rested and carried to the First Station,
where he spent the night in a cell.
The direct cause of the trouble is not

been play nss together, and finally fell out
over some trivial question, whereupon
High pulled a pistol from his pocket and
fred at F'ucelis. who jumped just enough
to dodge the bullet, which was intended
for his abdomen. The ball entered the

SHIi,t1TCN. October .O.-The gPreSl-
dent has committed to lie Imprisonment
the death sentence pronounced upon 500
mon Houena convicted in the Eastern
District of Texas of murder commit, &c
In the Indian Territory on November ~
1901.
Ine case is an exceptional one. In
his report to the President recommend
ing the Communication of the death SEN
tence, AttoIncy-General Knox says:
..1,he petitioner is ChoctaW Indian
we'll educated in his own tongue, and IN
the English language. He mas been a
lwayer, judge, "a Presbyterian minis
ter. and man of wealth and high
standing among his people. It is also
shown that he was very chart able and
took an &C I've part in all public matters
looking towards the education and Wei
being of his tribe, as we'll as OF white
persons who lived with them. 1t is SHOWN
that for many years he mad oeen III tie
habit of getting drunk, but that ASIDE
from this, his life has always oeen eA-
emplary.
1T appears that short time before
the murder he lost, by death, several
children in rapid succession, and, be-
lieving in witches and witchcraft, he
conceived the idea that certain persons
whom he believed to II. witches We're re-
sponsible for the death of his children
and for m;sfortunss which had happened
to other members of his trlce. On the
morning Of the killing, being more or
less under the influence of liquor, he
started out with the expressed intention
of killing certain persons whom he de-
clared to be witches.
HE first went to the house of VIVA
Coleman, an Indian woman, for whose
mr. n,.& he,p G "a, ~
pears that this woman was related to
him: that he had been on most friendly
terms with her; had furnished her and
her family with provisions, and had per-
suaded other persons to give her work in
order that she might support herself and
her children. Coming to her house, he ac-
cused her of being a, witch, and shot her to
wounding a small child that was near
death with a shotgun at the same time
her. AT the same time he shot and badly
wounded a fifteen-year-oid boy who was
running away to give the alarm. He
thereupon mounted his horse and pro-
ceeded to the home CT a man whom he
accused of being a witch, and shot him
to death. He then proceeded to another
house and killed another woman whom he
accused of being a witch.
ASIDE from the brief statement herein
before set out. may say that absolutely
no rational motive is shown for the kill
ing of these people by the petitioner t
seems to be clearly established that the
petitioner killed them because of his ae-
luded belief that they We're witches and,
he was justified in removing them
Il am clearly of the opinion that the
sentence Of death should not be carried
out in this case, and am as clearly con-
WINGED that this petitioner should never
be permitted to so at large
