swEDEs TAKE FINN NAMES
Curious Form Of Recreation That II
Setting In Among That
People.

Recent agitations In Finland are
producing a curious form Of reaction.
The country Is full Of Swedes, among
whom. perhaps. with view to the
possible contingencies Of a Russian
break up. the Swedish government has
always encouraged q movement Of SOL
idarity
The Swedish party has always been
one of the strongest in the diet, and
latterly there have been strong signs
of anti-Swedish feeling among the
other sections. and in public opinion
throughout the province. Fortunately.
the Swedish population in the country
has realized the danger in time, and
recognizing that Swedish associations
were all in the past, while all future
interests lay in Finland, has taken
practical steps to merge itself absolute
ly in tire life of its adopted country.
The Helsingfors Official Gazette a few
days ago contained list of 10000
Swedes who were discarding Swedish
for Finnish names.

A flock Of Angora goats were put on
a rocky hillside that it was desired
TO have cleared and gotten into grass,
says a writer in Country Life in
America II was such a tangle OF
brush and briers that it was difficult
to make a way through it,
The goats actually ate their way in
until it was penetrated with paths in
all directions. After the leaves with
in reach were eaten they would stand
on their hind feet. with their forefeet
in the branches, and so eat the leaves
higher up, or, if the brush was not too
large, would - throw their weight
against and bend it to the ground,
where others would help strip it of
cts foliage.
The leaves would come out again
only TO be eaten off, then the sprouts
would come from the roots to share
the same fate, until at the end of the
second summer everything in the
shape of bush not over six feet tall,
except the pine and laurel was COM
hetely killed, and white clover was
beginning 20 appear.

Dear madame: Let's talk it right out
before folks; there's nothing to hide 10
your business or ours; ifthere is, we'd
better hide ourselves.
We are in trade to make money; 90
are you. We make it by saving our
customers money; 80 do you. Our
object, in trade, Is to save your cus-
toner's wood from rotting and iron
and steel and tin from rustlDg; yours
the same,
We work for thousands of property
owners; you for a few. We can do
some things that you can't do; we
have the facilities. You can do some
things that we can't; you are there.
Let as work together; be faithful to
one-another. We can serve our GUS
toners better by working together
and being faithful to one another.
Your dollar, put into our paint, will
paint more feet than In any other way;
and the paint will last longer. This
saves you money, and saves your
money. That's all there Is IN our
whole business. Yours truly

Pete Evans Hanged

Five thousand people witnessed the
execution of Pete Evans at Houston
Tuesday at o'clock, for the murder
Of Ottie DE Hay, whom he waylaid.
Sheriff Hill, in company with G. A.
Moffatt, deputy sheriff; W. P. Knox
and J. 3. johnson, county jailer, went
to the cell of Pete Evans and told him
that the hour had arrived. He said:
81 am ready to go to meet God; my
sins have been pardoned. Blessed be
the Lamb of God"
He was placed in q closed carriage
with the officers and at once started to
the gallows, which was about one half
mile east of the city. The procession,
led by Mayor r. Il. Knox and Deputy
Sheriff J. Q. Arnold, was followed by
the carriage, and City Marshal j. w.
Pratt, with corps of deputies. Just
at the rear of the carriage were the
Vardaman Guards, under the. com
mand of Capt. A. T. Stovall. On the
street and on the sidewalks were g.
600 men. women and children to see
the hanging.
Pete Evans, with Sheriff Hill in
front, approached the galiows, with
]. E. Johnson, c. A. Moffatt and w,
P. Knox assisting. The moose was
placed at 1915 o'clock, and he was
then allowed few minutes to talk.
He said:
81 want everybody to listen to me.
Young men and boys, let this be liv-
ing example to you: First, want to
say l am ready to meet my God.
Blessed be the name Of the Lord.
Next, want to thank the officers of
Chickasaw county for their kind treat
mept to me while prisoner, and es-
pecially do I want to thank Mr.. Sheriff
for saving me from the mob and Civ
ing me time to make peace with my
Maker. Now want to see the faces
of Bishop Bawling Alex. Hill and Joe
ByDum. Those boys got me into this
trouble, and were with me when 1
committed the deed that has brought
me here. They are the cause of my
being her to-day. So, boys and
young mtn, all of you take warning;
stay away from bad associates, My
mother and father raisedl me right.
/ don't blame them; / blame Bishop
Bawling, Alex. Hill and Joe Bynum.' .
Then Sheriff Moffatt asked him how
came them to do it. He said: 'They
just put me here because done what
they told me to do"
Continuing, he said: ~ am ready to
go to hell Where is my mother
and father and my folks2 They are
not here. am going to heaven.
Good by, everybody"
Deputies Knox and Moffatt then
placed the black cap over his head
and at his remark, II am ready, fare
WE'LL" and MAY God be with YOU
from Sheriff ELL, the trigger was
sprung and the black brute was
sprung into eternity. The drop was
eight feet and death was virtually
instantaneous. Everything went of
quietly. This was the first legal
hanging in Chickasaw county in nifty
or sixty years.
