Fate Of the SorSbies'
Pretty Candy House
Copyright, 1901, bu Caroline Wethereu

To Candy Stick Town, place of renown,
The Sorehies visit paid.
OF white and of red it is said,
The candy stick houses made.
And the sorehies thought they would build cot
OF sticks of peppermint round,
SO they piled them high, with a careful eye
But not with Judgment sound.

The frail little boat and her plucky

knocked about. Her rudder and

One Execution In Seven Yeers.

In seven years, IT is said, there
as been one instance of legal exc
,ution in Utah, and that took
Lace last month, when q convict
d murderer was allowed TO de-
tide for himself whether he
should be hanged or shot. He
naturally preferred shooting, and
was speedily dispatched. A
strange feature of his trial was
that testimony against him was
admitted which was supposed to
be directed by revelation from
the heavens. Some parts of Utah
have evidently not shaken off all
their old traditions and supersti-
tons.

Captain Bartlett insisting on the

at them, but no one responded to the
invitation. This was . display of
the captains craftsmanship and the
accuracy of the shells.
The next WAS with 92 rifle. Two
hundred shots were fired without
changing and then the onlookers
were invited to look through the bar
rel, which presented an almost per-
fectly clean bore, showing the 'lean-
illness of the semi smokeless powder.
The fourth exhibition was with a
repeating Winchester shot gun, with
which the value Of the shot gun
shells we're shown! The Captain
throwing a can into the air and I'M
loading six shells into it before it
touched the ground, proved that a
quail would stand very poor chance
with Peters shells and Captain
Bartlett in the field.
The exposition was of intense in
terest to all present that were sports
manly inclined, for it demonstrated
that the shells made by the Company
he represented were the BEST and
that Captain Bartlett was the best
shot in Greenvllle, it making no diff
ference what gun he had so he could
get the shells loaded with Kings semi
smokeless powder and something in
the air to shoot at.
Greenville will gladly welcome
him again and the merchants will
have to buy smokeless powder shells
to please the marksmen that saw this
trial.
The shoot fully demonstrated the
fact that Peters shells will DO the
work if the proper man is behind
the gun.
The Crawford Grocery Company,
who are the Peters Company.s job
bers in this territory, will see the
demand for these shells increase after
this demonstration.
