der case embracing many interesting

end today with the execution of Chris
Dixon in the Craven county Jail
Godfrey Weber, substantial farm
er, was shot from ambush near his
home. November %, 1901. He lived only
a few hours and while dying expressed
the belief that Dixon was the assassin.
Dixon was tried and convicted of the
crime, the strongest evidence against
him being that two pages of a maya
zine were used as a gun wadding and
a copy of the same magazine found in
Dixon's house had these two pages
missing.
After being sentenced Dixon broke

It is said that when Robert Brown
ing was an infant his father would send
him to sleep by humming odes Of Anac-
reon and that he taught the boy the
words he wished him to remember by
Joining them to grotesque rhyme.
Perhaps this last mental exercise had
something to do with the poets exas-
perating style. Miss Corkran records
thus her first childish impressions Of
Browning: II had pictured to myself
poets as ethereal beings. It gave me a
shock to see Mr.. Browning eat with
avidity SO much bread and butter and
big slices of cake. He never uttered a
word that in any way suggested poet
ical thought. His coat, trousers and
gloves were according to the fashion
of the time, his voice loud and cheerful
his thick hair well brushed. Altogeth-
er, in my opinion, he looked a prosper
Gus man of business" Elsewhere Miss
Corkran records Browning's comment
upon the charge that he was too fond
of society" He admitted frankly: II
do like to be with refined people who
appreciate me. 1t is pleasure. Wealthy
people have leisure to read, and their
houses are pleasant am not ashamed
to confess that do enjoy being with
cultured folk. Besides, find that mix
ing with others and the friction of ideas
are necessary to a writer. New York

HELENA, Mont, Dew. 1.-The extra
ordinary session of the Montana leg
islature which convened today In pur-
suance of the call issued three weeks
ago by Governor Toole is likely to be
the arena for a gladiatorial combat az
fierce and as intensely interesting as
the session of several years ago which
witnessed the titanic struggle between
Copper King William A. Clarke and
Marcus DAILY for seat In the United
State senate. In the present instance
the results are far more momentous
than in the case of the struggle for
the senatorship. The future welfare
and prosperity of one entire and por-
tons of three other states may be said
TO depend upon the action of the ses-
sion. Arrayed against one another in
the gigantic fight is F. Augustus
Heinze of the Montana Ore Purchasing
company, backed by the Independent
copper men of three states, and the
Standard Oil company, as represented
by the Amalgamated Copper company.
The aim Of the session is to pass
law whereby mining cases may be
taken from one court to another when
judge in the initial court is shown to be
prejudiced. Other legislation of like
character has also been promised, A
so-called Fair Trial bill, of the char
acter now proposer, was passed by the
last legislature. but was decided by the
supreme court to be unconstitutional
on technical grounds.
The present situation is due to
coup executed by F. Augustus HeinZe,
president of the United Copper COM
pany and the arch enemy of the Anal
gamated interests. One of his lieu
tenants. young man named John
MacGinnis, was the owner of a few
shares of the Boston and Montana
Copper company. He secured a deci-
sion from District Judge Clancy re-

company from paying dividends to the

That only players of such caliber as
Mullen and Foss stand any chance In
ssuch tournament as is in prospect
may be indicated by the fact that the
Frenchman, Rerolle, finished one OF
his matches In the French and Bel
GUM championship with an average of
36 for string that is reported to have
been of 500 points. This is bit of cue
work that is without parallel in tour

pecially against such masters at safety

The Manufacture and Preservation of
Unfermented Grape Must.
Continued from last week.

A simple and efficient form of
sterilizer consists of a wooden
trough, provided with wooden graf
ing placed about inches from the
bottom. The filed bottles are placed in
wire baskets which rest upon the graf
ing. The trough should contain enough
water to submerge the bottles and be
kept at 1850 +. by means of a steam coil
beneath the grating. 1t requires fifteen
minutes for the must at the bottom to
acquire that temperature. For packages
of other sizes it is necessary to make
test with a bottle of must in which
thermometer has been placed, in order
to determine how long it takes for the
entire contents of the bottle to reach
the required temperature. Sterilization
in bottles should be conducted at tenn
perature at least 800 F.. lower than that
reached in the continuous pasteurizer.
If the final heating is higher than the
first it may cause precipitation of solid
matter, which will make the must in the
bottles cloudy.
During the sterilization in bottles the
corks are liable to be expelled by the
pressure developed. To prevent this
they may be tied down with strong
Irvine, but it is great saving of time
and labor to use some such continuance.
Must so sterilized will keep unchanged
for years, or until the bottles are open
ed
No matter how carefully all previous
work may be DONE there is still danger
of mold germs getting into the liquid
through the corks, especially if poor
quality of corks be used. This can be
prevented by dipping the necks of the
bottles into heated paraffin before put
ting on the caps or by sealing over the
corks with sealing wax
The quality and character of the grape
must will vary greatly with the quality
of the grapes used, and pleasing effect
may be had by the blending or mixing
of the must of two or more varieties of
grapes. The color of the must will al
ways be white or yellowsh, with the ex-
ception of that from such varieties as
the Bouschets, which have a red juice.
Red must can be obtained by modifica-
ton of the process described. If the must
is allowed to pass through the continu-
Gus pasteurzer and flow out hot into a
vat containing the skins of red grapes,
almost any desired depth of color may
be obtained, depending on the variety of
grapes used and the time during which
the hot must is left on the skins. Must
thus prepared differs in other respects
than color from the white must various
substances, especially tannin, being ey
tracted from the skins, making the com
position more like that of red wine, but
containing sugar instead of alcohol. In
some instances such an article will be
preferred for medicinal use.

THE WORK OF THE PUPPY

Mr. John Preston was in discon
tented and uncertain frame of mind
He told himself a dozen times over
that he had been very badly treated;
that life was blank.
Mr.. John Preston had been (and
still was, for the matter of that hon
estly in love with little Lucy Minton.
But there had come a time when
John wanted his way, and Lucy knew
that she meant to have hers. John
Preston had gone off in a rage-and
had cooled five minutes afterward,
when it was too late.
Il never want TO see you again-it
has all been mistake" Miss Minton
had declared. Il sincerely hope, for
your own sake, that you will find
some one who will understand YOU"
There are quite a number of people
in this world ready to be sympathetic
on an emergency; when the emer-
gency comes you wonder why you
haven't thought of them, and begin to
see virtues in them they never before
possessed.
There was Miss Clara Harcourt, for
instance. True, she was reported to
have a temper, but Clara Harcourt
thought we'll of him; there was much
in that.
During three days Mr.. John Pres
ton thrust out of his mind the image
of Lucy Minton and resolutely held
before him that of Clara Harcourt. On
that third evening he came out of his
office into the raw air, and thought
for a moment what a hideous place
the city was.
He came to long, narrow street,
with various articles hanging outside
the shops for sale, and with other
streets opening from it. Wandering
aimlessly and stopping now and then
to look at the shops, he came to one
the window of which was fitted with
small cages holding birds. From in
side came a noise of barking and yelp-
ing, mingled with the twitter of many
birds.
And that was where he saw the
puppy. The puppy was not associated
in any way with ordinary puppies, or
even ordinary dogs; he had a cage to
himself. And as John Preston stop
ped to look at the shop his eyes were
on a level with those of the puppy.
He was a nondescript sort of fellow,
that puppy. In a word, he may be said
to have been all head, like a species
of hairy tadpole, and to have had no
legs to speak of.

dogs; this should be a propitiatory gift
an excuse for calling that night.
So the puppy was bundled uncere-
moniously into a basket, and fastened
down with a skewer, as though he had
been so much meat; the price was
paid and Mr. John Preston walked
away with him, wondering a little,
before he had gone hundred yards,
why he had bought him at all.
He wondered still more, during the
next half hour, because the puppy
