Wyoming Murderer Hanged.

Lander. Wyo.. Sept. 26-James J.
Keffer, who was convicted of the mur-
der of A. c. Warren, an old man who
kept a relay station on the Rawlins-
Lander stage line. was hanged here ut
10: 80 o'clock yesterday morning. An
autopsy was held and the brain Of the
murderer was carefully examined. The
physicians pronounced it perfectly
normal, and say that the injury TO his
head, which Keffer said made him in
sane at times, had not affected the
brain. so far as any outward evidence
could show. The report of the physi-
clans quieted stories that keffer was
insane at the time of his execution.
and strengthened the general belief
that he was sane when he killed War
ren.
On the gallows Keffer made speech
while Sheriff Charles Slough was ad-
iusting the moose and black cap. He
said that he had no grudge against any
one in Lander, and addressing some
of the jurors who were present. told
them that they were taking the life of
an innocent man and that they would
live to regret their action.
The drop broke keffer's neck ana
death came quickly and without
struggle.

What the Parrot Said.

When well-dressed woman en-
tered a New York Central train she
carried bird cage wrapped in green
silk. She sat down with great deal
of dignity and put the silk enveloped
cage beside her. This was signal
for stares, which flustered her. Sounds
were coming from the cage, and.
judging from the voice. one could
guess parrot was within. When the
train started the woman took away
the covering and showed gray par
rot with pink splash on the breast.
The parrot talked much, but its con-
versation was confined to crackers
and such phrases as "Oh, shut up!"
Children crowded about the bird.
Presently the parrot said in an uncon-
cerned way, "Oh. damn." Everybody
in the car shouted with laughter. The
woman trowned and wrapped up the
cage. AS If in revenge. the parrot
repeated the "cuss' word again and
again. The woman got OFF at Tarry'
York Press.

dropping. Begin rubbing your left

South African Governments.

A recent number of the Boer news
paper Ons Land contains an article
describing the experiences of Boer
who went to German Southwest At
RIGA in 1901 to settle there. The moral
condition of the country, he writes.
is serious. Most of the Germans have
negro wives. To find a German in
the country districts. he says, with
white wife is rarity. At baptism
of the child of a German father and
negro mother, which he attended at
Rehoboth, two German officers were
present with their negro wives. Com
pulsory service is equally applicable
to whites and blacks. and both serve
in the ranks together. He concludes:
For my part, eighteen months ex.
perience has brought me to the con-
clusion that it is better to be slave
,:nder the English government than
free man in German Southwest Az

Ac0uirernen Of
Better ReSLI1tS

A man inquired, How can accom-
plish most for the energy, time, force
and efforts expended? | feel that
must accomplish more. yet my
strength will scarcely admit of greater
expenditure. How can | do it? is the
question"
When a store must have more space
for new goods and is unable to borrow,
rent or build. and all the space
1t has is chock full there is one
thing to do. and that is throw out the
least important line of goods. But
sometimes when 1t is thought all the
space is entirely occupied, careful in
vestigation and some mental calcula-
tion will produce more space. There
are counters to-day which use room,
formerly unoccupied. for holding
stock, and they give almost half as
much room as the shelves back of
them.
Busy doctors have to study prompt
ness, briefness and effectiveness.
Some doctors will make twice as
many calls during the day as some
others do, using the same time. the
same energy. and having left fully, as
much strength at the end of the day.
To do an extra amount of work re-
quires an original study of self and
environments. coupled with syste-
matte effort to gain at every point.
Our opportunities for doing more
work and better work with the same
time and strength embrace study
of improved methods, better habits,
more nutritious food, economy of
time. casting of unnecessaries, less at
tention to the least important, hunting
for waste places. training others to
do what they should for us. and trying
to find something every day new and
useful to us in our work.

First take an old sheet and cut two
holes in it big enough for two persons
to look through. but not any larger
than would be required to show the
features. Hang the sheet up in door
way and you are ready for the contest.
Now pair of boy and girl. Have
them insert their faces through the
two holes. The next instant the spec
tators will be shouting with laughter,
for the grinning match Is on!
1t is simply case OF which can out
grin the other. The "exposures"
should be timed at about minute
each and in that period you will have
chance to see your friends go
through such facial contortions as You
never dreamed Of. An ordinary grin
will change ones face very much, as
we all know, but competitive grin"
is something entirely different because
then the desire to beat that other grin
one can't see will cause one to stretch
