London In 100.
From the Saturday Review.


London 200 years ago was a compare
lively small city of about 100000 in
habitants, the rough and ill-kept main
roads to which had been put slightly
improved since Tudor times. The
CHASTITY spectacles of many of the
trees on the Southwark road bending
under their burden of hanged men,
had indeed been slightly modified. but
none the less the decomposing heads
of traitors" still filled the atmos-
phere about London Bridge and Temp
lie Bar with myraids Of baneful mi
crobes.
Our immediate forebears were evil
and smells They were accustomed
to see men sitting in the pillory pelted
with rotten eggs, and possibly includ-
ed among their immediate circle not a
few who had been deprived of their
noses and ears for expressing too freely
their opinions, political and religious.
The drains were in an appalling con-
dition. The innumerable churchyards
were so full of collins that they often
projected through the turf. Bear and
bull batting, dog-fights and boxing
matches were attended even by royal
ty as late as 1920, and five years later
all the candles" in London were pay
ing high prices to stand in the carts
around Tyburn to behold twenty-five
of their fellow-creatures hanged for
misdemeanors which in our time would
be punished with a few days imprison-
ment.

deeper and the grass worn a way a
little more and that is all.
There are barbed wire fences in
plenty. That is they seem plentiful be-
cause they are not so far apart as the
houses or the grain fields, but there is
always dead man" gate in every one
and should one by any possibility find
himself enclosed all that is necessary
Is to keep along the fence until you
come to the gate, which Is held in a fix
ed loop of wire and the other, the top
end, in a movable loop. The top loop
is removed and the stake or post lifted
out of the lower one and the wires
dragged to one side.
More fencing is being done on the
prairies of western Kansas at present
than for many years because of the es-
adjustment of creameries and the rails
ing of stock. Every settler now raises
stock. 1t is not necessary to enclose
the grain fields but attention must be
given to the stock. The building of
these fences marks the passing of the
great herds of cattle in western Kan
sas and 1t means the gradual forcing
of the cattle men into Oklahoma and
Texas. The cattle men are fighting the
fences because there is much unclaimed
land in some sections that is being cut
off by the fences, but it is a losing
Tight.
The building of the fences will even
tually result in regular roads as reser-
vations are made along each section
for roadway. At the present time
each rancher usually establishes his
own trail, cutting it across his neigh
boris land so as to make the shortest
route home. The opening of new
grain field necessitates a new trail and
so does the building of every fence but
that is a matter of little concern. You
simply drive around, for the prairie is
of an even surface, broken only by cac-
tus plants, and the grass is short 1t
is as easy and as smooth driving any
where as 1t is along the trail. Because
of the multitude of tracks one gets be-
wildered and is certain to get lost
Then the only thing to do is to follow
one of the tracks. 1t is certain to lead
to some habitation. Everyone knows
everyone else for a radius of miles and
miles, so there is no difficulty in Sc
curing information and direction, or a
guide for that matter. for your Kansas
settler is accommodating to a fault

1t was to avenge a wrong done her.
to atone for the unhappness he permit
ted to be heaped upon her head that
the affectionate father committed the
murder that sent him to the cell.
Lucy, when only a girl of 10, was
married to Melvin Wolf. The father
opposed the marriage, but he yielded
to his daughters desire. For this,
later, he blamed himself. The mar
riage was never happy one, and Wolf
abused his child wife shamefully. Word
of this reached Terrell's ears and a
silent rage was awakened in his heart.
1t burst forth into understandable fury
when Lucy was obliged to flee from her
husband and seek protection in her
fathers house. Terrell seized shot
gun and, lying I'm wait for Wolf, open
ed fire on the young man. The shots
only wounded Wolf.
He was carried to q surgeons office
and. there, while he was lying uncon-
scious under the influence of narcotics,
Terrell drove up to the place. In the
meantime he had reloaded his weapon.
Maddened with anger, he thrust the
crowd of curious spectators aside and,
breaking down door that had been
hastily holted to bar his progress,
burst in on the young man, and. level
ing his gun, enlpueu DolH DdIIeiS luto
the PROSTATE form. Wolf was Killed
instantly.
Making his way to his buggy, Ter
rell cautioned the crowd not to follow
him, and, driving at once to the sher-
IFS residence, gave himself up.
HE will ruin no more homes and
break no more hearts" is the only ex-
PLANTATION that Terrell vouchsafed.
Still stung with remorse and shout
dering the entire blame for his daugh-
ter's unhappy marriage, Terrell in his
prison cell determined to exert every
effort to get HI: affairs into such shape
that should the jury that will try him
find him guilty of murder in the first
degree, he can pay the penalty conf
dent that his daughter will want for
nothing after he is gone.
Thus, i'm the shadow Of the gallows,
this millionaire. with money to buy all
the Injuries of life, cannot buy that
which he desires most of all, his lib

gray hairs are fast sprinkling his black
locks, it is said that the end of every
day through his shrewd planning,
finds his daughter richer by hundreds
of dollars than she was when the sun

cIared off. The trainmen have been
ordered to report for duty at 4 o'clock
tomorrow morning.

engineers, cable splicers and coal
teamsters returned to work tonight
and tomorrow the road will be ope-
rated under normal conditions.
The agreement, as ratified by the
men and previously accepted by rep
resentatives of the company, provides
for the settlement of the wage question
by a board of arbitration.
Clause II of the agreement provides
for the betterment of working hours,
the new running schedule to be ar
ranged by the company in conference
with a committee of trainmen.
The third and last clause provides
that the strikers shall be taken back
without prejudice Membership in the
union shall not constitute proper cause
for discharge from the company's en-
ployment. With this exception, the
company retains the right to employ,
discharge or discipline it's employees as
If sees fit.
