The Cresset warns republicans
not to vote for Billie Haun this
year because, it says, Billie
has never voted for a republi-
can. 1t may be true and it may
not. We don't know and the
Cresset doesn't; but following the
same reasoning, no democrat
should vote for Lew Bragg, Dick
Wilson, Judge Gleason, Nick, Bill
Wheat, Port Lake or any other re-
publican candidate. So far as our
knowledge goes none of them have
ever voted for a democrat, and we
have the same right toSay they hav-
emf that the Cresset has to say that
Mr.. Haun never voted for a repub-
lican. Every campaign the Cresset
over-works that howl. 1t used to
be Allen Smith the argument was
used upon but just the same Allen
was elected twice. If Charley
Adams has any influence with the
Cresset it would be a wise thing to
call it off from its foolish and
senseless fight on Haun, OF at least
have it give some sort of half
way Intelligent reason why
he shouldn't be reelected.
Its present tactics of sh ooting into
the air at random is doing more tc
get votes for the sheriff than all hi:
|. riends can do.

In the HaI PIT.

The ordinary house rat will not fight
if he can find his way into a hole. In
closed in the pit, with no chance OF es-
cape, the case is different. The rat will
not only fight it's enemy, but will turn
on those of it's kind with which it is
punched. The trained rat dog will
jump backward and forward, otten-
times entirely over the rat, in avoiding
it's bite, and, watching its opportunity,
will catch the rat by the back, give one
crunch and break its spinal column.
Then it throws the rat, dead or dying,
aside and like a flash leaps into place
for Selling and killing the next rat.

n HALIFAX GlBBET.
A Sort of GuiIIotine That Was Once
Used In England.

Used In England.
An ancient law of Hardwick forest,
a tract c~oextensiye with Halifax par
ish, is sung by Taylor, the water poet:
At Halifax the law so sharpe doth deale
That whose more than thirteen pence doth
Steale,
They have a jim that wondrous quick and
Sends thieves all headless into heaven or
helle.
This Gin resembled the guillotine
in construction and stood on a stone
scaffold, unearthed when Gibbet hill
was leveled. The ak is preserved.
This, the only guillotine used in Eng
land, was the forerunner of the maid
en- introduced into Scotland by Re-
gent Morton and now in the Edinburgh
Antiquarian museum. The Halifax
gibbet' was last used in 1850 and the
maiden" for Lord Argyll in 1861 and
his son in 1856, who spoke of it as the
sweetest maiden he ever kissed.
DR.. Guillotine did not invent the ma
chine. DR.. Louis constructed one in
1871. the "Louison," but the name
'guillotine" became general from the
burst of surgical enthusiasm, in which
DR.. Guillotine, in 1889, after deploring
the tedious torture of hanging, ex-
claimed, with my machine l strike

eye, and you never feel it!'-London

LORD sTRArHcoNA AND MOUNT ROYAL.

and his widow, who was left with a
large family of children, brought suit
against the road and won. The road
appealed, and again the poor widow
won. 1t was decided by the big corpo-
ration to carry the suit up to the high
est courts in England. The widow had
no money to maintain the contest lon
ger. Her lawyer did not want to be
beaten on it, and he wanted the poor
woman to get justice, Sc he got up a
subscription list to raise the money re-
quired, heading it with a substantial
sum himself. Lord Strathcona heard
about the circumstances of the case.
His sympathy was aroused. "HOw
much will it take to carry the suit to
England?' he inquired. Twelve hun
dred dollars, of which $500 is already
subscribed" was the reply. ''Then put
me down for the balance" said the
lord high commissioner. "That woman
should have the money, and you get it
for her if you can" And thus the gen.
erous railroad magnate helped to beat
his own road.
But Lord S~trathcona is as shrewd as
he is generous, and his enterprise in
the promotion of railroad projects has
been of great benefit to the industrial
development of the Dominion of Cana
da. 1t was as the last resident gov
ernor of the Hudson Bay company
that Lord Strathcona rendered his first
important services to the British and
Canadian governments. His associa-
ton with the Indians during this pc
riod enabled him to succeed in the
suppression of the first Riel rebellion
in the Red River settlements in 1869
20. In 1897 he was elevated to the
peerage as Lord Strathcona and Mount
Royal.

Russian Choral Singing.

Love of music, cultivated and en-
larged by the fine rendering OF the an
thems and chants of the services OF
the churches, is a trait of the Russian
peasant. The choral singing of men
and boys in some of the smaller ham
lets is indeed so rich and finished in
STYLE as to be a constant source OF
wonder to all travelers.-Socia Serv-
