who are glad to do it,and who exalting-

Senator Burrows, Of Michigan, tells
Of q young man in his state who pro-
posed to q girl in a neighboring town.
He. was not at all SURE Of his ground
and, fearing he might be refused, be
tried to avoid an skward situation by
sending her this message by wire:
"Will you marry met Twenty word
answer paid for.D In due time he re-
ceived this reply: "You are too ex-
travagant. Why pay for twenty
words when the single word mo- ID

There will be very few public hang
ings in Mississippi this year, and re.
quests made to boards Of supervisors
that the people be allowed to witness
these gruesome events are being turn
ed down wherever brought up. The
board of supervisors of Union county
has ordered that Luke McAllister, who
is condemned to die on the 30th OF
December, be hung privately, and a
similar action has been taken by the
board of supervisors of Adams county
relative to the hanging of Thomas
Glenn, a white man, on the same
date.
There is a queer case Of "The Lady
or the Tiger" reported at Ft. Scott,
Kansas. A man of that city went To
South America and was reported
dead. His wife collected his life in
surance, $4,000, mourned him as dead
for more than a year, and then was
wooed and won by another man.
The wedding had been fixed for
Thanksgiving Day. The day before
the missing husband-and he had been
a good husband-walked into the
house and stood before his wife. Did
the surprised woman feel gladness OF
sorrow? Now don't be too hasty
about making up your mind. He was
her first love, had been a good hus,
band, affectionate, kind and true,
But she had mourned him as dead,
and gotten over it. She has the
8 $4,000 cash which she will have to
pay back to the company. Besides
that, she has experienced the bliss
that goes with a new lover IN every
way devoted and acceptable. And
her beautiful new wedding clothes all
readyi Consider carefully-is she
glad or sorryP The papers don't state.
