PASSING FROM LIFE OF
 JOHANN HOCH, OKORCIDE.
tcontinued from First Page)

Continued from First Page,) Hoch declared that he intended to in- sist that all the time given to him un- der the sentence should be allowed. He told the clergyman that if an effort was made to take him to the scaffold before 1:30 he would resist.
 At 12 o'clock Deputy Sheriff Peters, accompanied by Jailer Whitman, enter ed Hoch's cell the deputy holding the death warrant which they told him they had come to read.
 q am ready to hear it." said Hoch, sitting down on the bed.
 Deputy Sheriff Peters then read the warrant and the two notices of reprieve which had been granted to Hoch, the final decision of the state supreme court in his case. Throughout the read ing Hoch was unmoved, and Deplty Sheriff Peters, at the close, said to him: "Mr. Hoch, wish to commend you for the manner in which you have conduct ed yourself and also for the prepara- tion you have made for the hereafter. hope God will have mercy on your soul"
 Hoch smiled and said quietly: T am a great sinner in some ways, but I am innocent of this murder"
 Then turning to Jailer Whitman, Hoch said: q want all that is coming to me in the way of time. If you try to take me before 1;3O I will fight"
 Just as the reading of the death war rant was finished Attorney Comerford appeared at the jail with an appeal bond to which he desired the signature of Hoch. It was Jailer Whitmans in- tenticn to proceed with the execution immediately following the reading of the death warrant, but when informed of the errand of Attorney Comerford he issued orders that proceedings be de- layed.
 Before the appeal bond was taken to the county Jail Attorneys Maher and Comerford presented it to the court and again asked for an appeal.
 Under the circumstances I don't think you have any right to appeal" said Judge Landis.
 Any citizen has the right to appeal, said Attorney Maher.

Stevenson while the writer was at Sar- anac, has told of his talks around this same fireplace with the novelist in his Journal of Outdoor Life, magazine published for the benefit of the fresh air hospital at the health resort lie describes the winter evenings with gusto, and speaks of the conversations with a warmth that leaves no doubt of the manner in which he enjoyed them.
 He tells of the talks they had which on one occasion the writer's language reached the limit of parliamentary re- serve, describes the famous story of Stevenson's fear of "the great unwash- ed' and speaks of the writer's temper ament.
 The big fireplace, full of cracking logs" says the doctor, appealed to his artistic and beauty-loving nature, more than did the bleak, snoW-covered land scape outside, and usually long before dark the writer could be found with his feet to the fire, a cigarette in his mouth, ready for chat on any sub ject.
 He used to rail in such beautiful but forceful language against the cold and at the snow, the succession of cloudy days and the lack of color and sunshine, that had his remarks been written down, they would have made famous the fireplace by which they were uttered as having furnished the inspiration for such beautiful and pie turesque language.
 His idealistic and artistic tempera- ment clung to all that was beautiful in life as expressed in nature, form, in arwt, light and color, in thought, in po- etry and in imagination" continued the doctor, and he deliberately turned his back on the cold facts of science and life; ignored them as much as possible, and summed the discussion of such subjects as poverty, disease, sorrow and suffering, with which we are more or less surrounded.
 His life had been spent among, and his former thoughts given to the form CT things, and I, perforce, had to do mostly with the latter, so that we rare ly saw things from the same point of view. But these informal talks by the flrelight I shall always consider as a great and blessed privilege-one which at the time, regret to say, I did not fully appreciate.
 Tn conversation Stevenson displayed his nervous and excitable temperament, moving about the room, in a cloud of tobacco smoke while he talked brill- iantly. always left the house with a sense of having been worsted in the argument"

DEATH OF A MAN EATER.

On the morning of Thursday three Chinese woodcutters left tteir kongsi home, situated at the ninth mile, Aver Titan Road, thirteen and e half miles fro mKa1ang, and went into the jungle to work.
 At a. m. at point one and a half miles from the road tiger sprang out behind them, and one of them hit him on the head with backward stroke of a parang, laying bare the bone of the skull, as afterward appeared. The tiger did not at that time seize any of the men, who went on to their usual work ing places. About 11.S0 a. m., one of them who was saving alone in small clearing /, mile further in, was killed by the tiger and his body carried away. The tracks showed that the tiger had systematically hunted up his man along the jungle path.
 The next day a search party from Kajang went out, the body was found and MT Hay. set a spring gun, the re- port of which was heard at the kongsi house soon after midnight. In the morning the spot was visited again, blood was seen and the signs of a tre- mendous leap made by the tiger. A fewyards away he wasfound dead with a wound in his flank He was brought to Kajang the same night, and on being measured was foud to be feet 8 inches in length. In the process of' skinning two cuts were found on one of the hind legs, and it seems possible that they were the cuts which a woodcutter stated he had inflicted on tiger with an axe a month or two ago.-Malay Mua.

intends to restrict and to a sertain
extent cut down rural free delivery
service. The salary of the carriers
is to be cut from an average of
$7O7.12 year to $500 per year.
The department is also in some
places changing daily service to
tri-weekly. This is regarded by
Senators and Congressman from
Southern and Western states as
poor piece of economy. They look
upon the rural free delivery as the
greatest boon ever extended to the
country people. and just when the
system is getting firmly establish
ed and in good working order, it
seems that it should be extended
instead of restricted. By his move
the government will save about a
million dollars. This, however,
would be very good ii like economy

ment intends to pay to all the rail-
roads over three million dollars
more than last year for carrying

First Fountain Pen.

The first fountain pen was invented
by a man named Joseph Bramah, in
1910. One of his several plans for
fountain pens was that of making a
hollow tube of silver or other metal,
the tube being so thin that it could
be pressed out of shape, and so cause
an escape of ink to the nib. Another
plan of his was to fit the tube with
p piston which slid down the interior,
and so force out the ink. John Schef-
Ter. in 1919. improved further on Bra
mah's ideas, and made fountain pens
nearly pc -aliable as those of to-day.
