The jeweler hesitated.

YES"
After you had gone away l found
there was nothing the matter with it.
You had forgotten to wind it. was
afraid to tell you so, for I once lost a

CAUSE FOR ENCoURAaEMENr.-A
southern representative. who is good
natured and always tries to make the
best Of everything, was discussing the
one-sided election last month with a
number Of friends In the cloak room
says the Charlotte Observer.
"My friends" he said, I'VE have
no cause to be discouraged, for we
have something left yet. The Repub-
licans didn't quite take all, though
they came dangerously near doing so.
I am consoled by a story heard Of
young fellow down my way who got
the Texas fever and went west several
years ago. He couldn't hold his own
with the cowboys. and after time ne
came home-just how, I can't say, but
he managed to get on the outskirts of
his home town and he sent note to
his father. saying:
Dear Father: Please send me
suit Of clothes, shirt and pair OF
shoes. I have a hat
Now, friends, the opposition took
all except our head-gearV1our name
and we can cling to that"

OF SOME USE AT LAsT.-An actress
whose name for years in this country
was a household word, who starred in
many plays and gave away fortunes
made on the stage, recently lost her
husband, a we'll known man about
town, popular to the last degree, but
hopelessly impractical and dependent.
The other day she dropped into the
Office Of a Wall street broker to buy
some stocks. why, where on earth
did you get another fortune?" asked
the broker, who had known her for
years. why" she said, "Tve just col
lected Jacks life insurance of $4,000.
Poor, dear fellow. he turned out to be
some good at last, didn't he?"

HARD ON THE DocToRs.-There are
two stories that are told at the Saw
age club: Doctor is sent for to attend
a sick woman; on his arrival finds wo-
man dead. "Why was not summoned
sooner?" doctor asks, angrily. 1--WE
did think of it," explains the bereaved
husband, but we concluded that IT
would be cheaper to let her die a ma
tural death"
On another occasion doctor arrives
too late. Husband explains: you see
doctor, when she complained Of feelin'
bad I gave her to pill you prescribed
for me a year ago, but which did not
take. It's lawful, ! know, but just
think wot would ave 'appened If I'd
ave taken it.-London Letter.

THE BIRD sENTINEL.-I was inter-
ested one Sunday in watching the
movements Of birds. Crumbling q
biscuit, I threw 1t out, sat down on
the piazza and awaited results, writes
contributor to the Boston Record.
1t was not long after the birds came
and helped themselves before a cat ap-
peared. Then a warning note was
sounded by bird, evidently on guard
on the top Of the piazza, where he
could survey the whole scene. At his
warning every bird disappeared and
remained in hiding until a reassurine
note was heard frovm the little sentry
posted on the piazza roof.

| bee county was Joseph S. Sager of
Gardiner who was hanged at Augusta
| in 1894, as mentioned above. Sager was
| convicted of wife poisoning and public
| sentiment was 50 high against him.
partly on account of the publicity Of
| the execution and the tense condition
| of mind which it created with the
public that an effort was made to lynch
Sager and much unwarrantcd mystery
| subsequently developed Oh this account
| after the death of Saser. The Decem-
| her day OH which Sager was hanged
| was cold ard driZZly, but thousands of
people gathered to see the execution.
| 1t is estimated that over 5000 people
were gathered i'll the public square at
| the junction Of Winthrop and State
streets. where the hanging took place
Mn fun sight of all. Sager fully ex-
| pected Il reprieve. and naturally was
exceedingly backward in coming for
ward ct which the bluff old sheriff who
was officiating became irritated and
sai0 to him: Come. come. Joe. hurry
up; the people want to go home and
| tend to their cattle" Sager's body was
delivered to friends who took it to Hal
| lowell in great haste where efforts We're
| made to revive it by means of cleo
| tIic;ty. which was reputed to be able
to do great things in those days. 1t is
believed that the body was buried on
/ one of the islands in CobboSseecontec
pond, and the secrecy with which this
disposition was made gave rise to the
story that Sager came to life and was
taken out of the State and finally set
, tied in Texas. There used to be d
tradition and all this is mentioned
simply to show the effect of a public
| execution upon the public mind in an
unhealthy way. that if you should go
| To the square where Sager was hanged
! at midnight on any anniversary of the
execution, and should bend down near
| the spot where Sagcr was hanged and
say: Sagcr. for what were you
hargcd?" his spirit would say. Moth
ing" One of the Immediate results of
this hanging was the abolition of capt.
tai punishment, and it was nearly a
, quarter of century. or to be exact, "a
years, before the next hanging.
