Must Hang.

Must Hang.
Rooney must hang. The supreme
court decided that he must pay the
death penalty for the murder Of Har-
old Sweet. The case is one of the
most peculiar in the criminal prac-
tice in this state. Rooney and two pals
attempted to hold up three young
boys named Sweet of White Earth,
Mimi, who were camping on the
outskirts of Fargo last August, en-
route to the harvest fields. Rooney
and Harold Sweet were engaged in
a scuf1e, when the latter was fatally
shot. Rooney was captured by the
other brothers, and his partners fled.
Rooney was tried and convicted.
The hearing was during the legisla-
tive session which passed a bill re-
quiring that all executions should be
in the state prison at Bismarck. The
legislature also changed the law re-
quiring that six months must elapse
between the date sentence was i'm
posed and the execution, as had for
merly been the practice.
After the measure had been signed
by Gov. White, Judge Pollock sen
fenced Rooney in March to be hang
ed June 26 in the state prison, max
ing the date only a little over three
months, as he had not been informed
of the time extension. When he
learned of the mistake the prisoner
was brought back from Bismarck and
a new sentence imposed, to become
effective in September, and conform
ing with the law.
GoldI t
A short time ago E. S. Elliott, a
rancher. near Steele in boring a well,
brought up some yellow particles in
a lot Of sand, and was curious enough
to have the find examined. He sent
the stuff to an assayer in Chicago,
who returned it with the assertion
that it was gold. Meantime, Elliott's
brother sank two holes at different
places and found the same colors. He
was satisfied there was mineral
enough to pay for working and went
to Bismarck to make a mining entry.

Pat Helped His C0mrade in q Pinch
and Was None the Worse
On for It.

An old soldier belonging to a we'll
known line regiment had gained the
unenvia BILE reputation of being known
as sting" or, in other words. one
who comfortably manages to live on
another's pay, relates London Spare
Moments.
Pay day having come and gone,
things looked rather blue for him
when the time for opening the can
teen arrived. But not for long; he
soon espied his bed chum not far
away, and, calling him over, he en-
gagged him in conversation. finally per-
suading Paddy-a recruit, by the way
to sell pair Of pants, saying it was
foolish to have more kit about one than
necessary.
Accordingly Pat went to his room.
and. providing himself with a new
pair of pants, returned and gave them
to the man. who forthwith proceeded
to dispose of them.
Needless to say, an enjoyable evening
followed, and on leaving the canteen
the "sting" remarked:
you're a good boy. Pat. and I'll
stand you drink some day in return"
"Och. you need not bother" said
Pat. "Sure. it's your own pants ye
sould. TUX them from your box"

general principles. He could by nc
means apply it to the particular per
sonal instance.
THAT is nonsense. Martin, and you
know it. Whose money built the
plant?"
The man took time to think about
it. and. as slow men often do, he
thought it over to some purpose.
81 s'pose you could say that amt
for me to say. but I'm goin' to say
it. Mr.. Raymer got his money from
the old man. and we, and others like
us. helped him earn it. I dunno who
helped you earn your money, Mr..
Griswold. Maybe you earned it all
yourself. but l don't believe it."
At this Griswold flew into a pas
sion. there being no other retort for
such a thrust.
''You don't know what you're talk
ing about" he snapped. LET me
pass"
The man stood aside respectfully
enough, and the master crossed the
street to the iron works side of it.
An arc light swinging from its wire
Ia front of the foundry building flung
black shadows beneath the trees at
the curb line, and for aught pass
er-by might see, street and plant
were alike deserted. But the quietude
was only seeming. AS Griswold
crossed the roadway, there was a
binding fash of white light which
seemed to have it's focusing point
under a tree which shaded the small
detached Office building. The fash
was but momentary, but it served to
reveal knot Of men in various atti-
tudes of expectancy at the corner of
the Office. A glimpse was all Girls
void had, and 1t was followed instant
ly by a yell of fury. the din and
clamor of fray. and a knot of curs-
ing, struggling men broke out of the
tree-shadow. Griswold flung himself
promptly into the thick Of it, seeing
nothing but that a dozen Infatuated
men were assaulting one.
"For shame!" he cried, shouldering
his way into the group. "Stop it and
let him go. or I'll prosecute the last
one of you in the courts!"
The melee quieted down, but two
of the men kept fast hold of their
prisoner. Griswold looked again, and
when he recognized the captive, had
curious little shock of surprise.
The pinioned man was no other than
the man whom he had taken from the
island in the "Sprite," whose good
cigar he had smoked in the lobby of
the hotel, and whose occupation and
business in Wahaska he had by no
means been able to guess until Char
1otte had enlightened him.
There was moment of silence of
the portentous kind, and then the
leader of the workmen spoke for all.
"You go away, Mr.. Griswold. This
amt no funeral O yours, and it'll be
a heap better all round if you don't
tend It."
But Griswold made no move to go
away. Not q step till you release
that man."

creek Monks, belief.

It Is q firm belief Of the eastern
monks of the Greek church that God
will not allow a monastery to be
burned. When the Russian monas-
terry OF St. Pantelemon. at Mount
Athos, was burned few. years ago,
the Greeks, who constitute the great
majority of the 5000 monks on the
peninsula. maintained that their Rus
sian brethren had brought the calam-
ity on themselves, because they had
fire engines and extinguishers, and
did not trust wholly in God. Now
the neighboring Greek monastery of
ST. Paul, which had no fire engines,
has recently been utterly destroyed
by fire. It is said that the monas-
terry of ST. Paul was the only one at
Mount Athos which has ever been
visited by q woman. The wife OF .
British ambassador landed from her
yacht one day on its tiny pier and
insisted ON entering the church In
consequence the monks. relieving
each other by relays. for 20 days and
nights maintained . continuous serv-
ice Of prayer to purify the church

THE season of catching cold is upon
! us. The cough and the sneeze
and the nasal twang are to be
heard on every hand. The origin of
chronic catarrh, the most common and
dreadful of diseases. is cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches
cold, which hangs on longer than usual.
The cold generally starts in the head
and throat. Then follows sensitive
ness of the air passages which incline
one to catch cold very easily. At last
the person has cold all the while
seemingly. more or less discharge from
the nose, hawking, splitting. frequent
clearing Of the throat, nostri1s stopped
up. full feeling in the head. and sore,
;nfiamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop
arly used. never fails to cure a common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.

the Boston Beacon:
"in this book the reader renews acquaint.

story de1icately conceived and very inter

well drawn and the imaginary ones are true
to life past or present. This il the first
