no surprise at the outcome. He lost all
hope at midnight.

Makes Speech on GaIIows.

The boy walked to the gallows with a
steady step and when asked by the sheriff
II he wished to say anything began a speech
that occupied three minutes. He declared
that he fred the fatal shot, but disavowed
any intention to murder. His object, he
said, was merely to disarm his assailant.
Flutcher concluded as follows:
Without the desire to reflect on the men
who sent ne to this fate. the worst that
can befall a mortal man, l want to say
that not only have been prosecuted. but
This shameful end to my life, a boys life,
marks the final triumph OF money over
The time IL past when anything can be
done. Death Is very near to me, but before
i lays its hand namna let me say SXvi e parting word;
as good for the old as the young. Had l
done SO there would have been no fight, no
shooting, no ~hangman's moose.
With a wide swoop of his right hand he
babe the crowd goodbye and turned to the
sheriff.
Rev. Mr.. Roberts stepped forward and
asked for a final prayer. This was made
kneeling.
Twenty seconds later Sheriff Dickman
| sprung the trap. Flutcher's neck was
broken in the fall. After a formal Inquest
the body was turned over to the family.
II did my duty" said Sheriff Dickman
after the hanging, "and I'm glad it's over.
THE death warrant called on me to ex-
ecute Flutcher between the hours of 6 in
| the morning and 6 o'clock in the after
noon. 1t was nearly fifteen minutes after
6 in the morning when the drop fell.
T answer to Mr.. Folks telegram to
the governor came to the Four Courts at
2:SO in the morning, in the form Of a dis
patch from the Western Union ONCE at
Jefferson City.
"Mr. Folk had gone home and l opened
the telegram. thinking 1t might contain a
reprievs. Instead, 1t said that the gov
ernor had come to a window and been
told the nature Of the message and had
directed 1t to be placed under the door
and had shut the window without sending
an answer,
"I supposed that ended the matter and
left no hope. Mr.. Folk, whom one of the
newspaper men called over the telephone,
thought the same, and so did the prisoner.
He had given UP hope early Thursday and
did not express any expectation Of a re-
spite.
Anyway. I don't hold myself to blame.

Professor Gannett, of the United
States Geological Survey, has a paper
in the Bulletin of the American Geo
graphical Society which treats of
popular errors in meteorology and geo.
graphy, entitled Certain Persistent
Errors in Geography" a few of his
points are summarized in what fol-
lows:
Forests and Rainfall: An example
of the persistence of error is the idea
that the presence or absence of forests
has an influence on the amount Of rain
fall. Some keen observer long ago de-
tected the fact that fOrested regions
enjoyed a heavier rainfall than those
not forested and jumped to the con-
clusion that rainfall was produced by
forests, and that the removal of forests
diminished the rainfall. Looking over
the earth he found many treeless des-
ert regions, and forthwith instanced
them as frightful examples of mems
wastefulness. Syria, Northern Africa,
parts of Italy, are often quoted as il
Illustrations of mans destruction of eli
mate. In reply, man can certainly
plead not guilty. The geography of
