Difficulty in Finding Some One to Ex.
ecute a Murderer.
The British army was once in diff
2culties through the lack of hangman
Murder was committed by a soldier
In the Crimea, but nobody could be
found to carry out the sentence of the
court martial
It was announced that EGO and a
free discharge would be granted to
the man undertaking the task. At
last a man did volunteer. He was a
newcomer to the army.
On the night prior to the date fixed
for the execution they locked up the
hangman in stable to keep him safe.
In the morning the party at the gal
lows waited, but there was no hang
man. He had gone mad during the
night, or else he was now Stimulating
madness.
The officer in COMMAND turned to
one of his captains with: captain,
you will have the goodness to hang
the prisoner" The captain changed
countenance, but he pulled himself
together, and appealed to the SER
geants with: (Which of you will hang
this man?'
And to spare his captain, one Of the
men volunteered. He, afterward had
the satisfaction of fogging the man
who had volunteered and failed.

success of the drive this year. Every
thing is cleaned up excepting small
jam at the foot of the big falls. about
mile from tie river mouth, which will
be Brought in later in the season.
When it is considered that there was

was started, there is seen to be good
reason for the feeling of satisfaction
that prevails. Besides, the logs are de-

States, and comes on rapidly from
scattering in the open timber. A
blue stem grass covers this country,
growing up from two to FIVE feet high,
making, with the shade, springs and
spring streams and the ''mast," an
ideal country for stock of all kinds.
The range is open, but the timber
makes fencing and building very in
expensive. Taking it all in all, we
can't help but think that the man who
is looking for a home, a real home
where he can settle down and with
his family enjoy life, owes it to him
self and to his family to investigate
this Central Missouri country before
deciding. Remember also that this
country is in the coming Leaf, Zine
