Three young men who had been con-
vicied Of revolving murder, died on the
gall0ws in Chicago one day last week.
One Of the number raved at religion,
made mock Of sin and uttered no pray
er for pardon. He died in rage, ours
ing, swearing and refused even to be
clad IN decent dress.
The other two professed faith in an
infinite Saviour, wore clean and at
tractive clothes, a modest flower on the
lapel Of their coats, and were calm and

seemed TO have made their peace with
their God before paying the penalty
due TO human law for an awful crime.
Differ as we may on the subject Of
death-bed repentance, and be as scep-
teal as you may, especially as 10 the
genuine repentance and conversion Of
one about TO die ON the gsllows for
crime, still all must agree that it
were better to meet death a. the two
rather than the one did. II the hope
was deceiving and the peace Of mind
delusi,e, still it served a good purpose
rather than a bad one.
Is ii not better to die with a smile on
the face rather than a sneer on the lips?
Is not clean burial dress better than
one Of iilth2 Is it not better to die as
a man rather than as a dog? But who
dare say the two were deceived? Shall
we limit the power Of an omnipotent
God? Did not the Saviour come 10
call sinners and not the RICH teous
And did he not save the thief on the
cross? It's madness to wait for
dying hour in which 10 seek and be
saved, but let not the creature Of an
hour ask Of God: "What doeth thou ?"

Almighty"

Two hitherto reputable and prospe-
rous young farmers Of the county O
Pittsylvania, languish i'm the jail Of
that county, one already under an Is
year sentence for the penitentiary, the
other no doubt 10 share a like fate, and
all because Of a debt involving only
30 cents. For this they took the life
of an old and gallant eX-Coufederate
soldier, who for the first time in his
life ran while he was being fired on.
Prison bars are bad enough, and alb
sence from wives and children, and
the black stain of crime, but what are
these TO the little sting Of remorse?
What would they not give to blot out
that moment Of anger? No doubt
they cultivated the bad habit Of "toting

manly. IL is sad mistake. Let the

Ina recent issue Of the Herald we
ouoted some strong words Of President
Roosevelt on the propriety Of taking
care Of home affairs before going
abroad to look after the affairs Of other

advised that the public highways OF
Porto Rico have been very much inn
proved by the judicious expenditure
Of uncle SANS money. The mere
statement of the fact will cause every
American to get "hot in the collar
and feel uncomfortably mad. The
man who would neglect TO feed his own
children at home while he went about
distributing bread to others would be
considered brute, and this very UNI
natural and unjustifable thing our
chest Government is doing And
Congress is silent on the subject, and
il looks now that the people are gel
ting ready to keep in place and power

abominable outrage. What's wrong
ANYHOW? Has some American mil
lionaire syndicate got the job of work
ing the Porto Rican roads? Has the
wrong been grated on us to the
shame Of the grafters and the disgrace
Of the nation? The money Of the peo-
