INSISTED ON BEING HANGED.
Murderers Who Have Pleaded sov Ex-
ecution Of Sentence.

The case of the condemned muir
derer. who the other day practically
sentenced himself by refusing 10 sign
a petition for a reprieve, is not so
rare ss many people imagine
One famous parallel instance was
hat of Rev Mr.. Hackman. who shot
an actress. Miss Reay. as she was
leaving the stage door OF Convent
Garden theater. and who. although
actually offered a Communication, pre-
ferreG to die upon the gaIlows IN the

Eeriin papers chronicled the case Of
a wealthy land owner, who. having
shot a servant in a fit OF passion, tried
him, with himself as Judge. and sen
fenced himself to ten years solitary
confinement in one of his own private
dungeons in his own medieval castle
in the heart of the Black Forest.
Nine years and some odd months OF
this punishment he actually endured
his house steward doing him out daily
meager ration OF coarse prison fare
Unluckily for him, however, the au
thorities got to hear of the affair and
he was hailed before the ordinary tri
bunal to await his trial in due course
Another extraordinary case also
curiously enough, of German origin
was that of a sergeant major of an in
fantry regiment stationed in Bremen
who few weeks back sentenced him
self to be shot by a squad of his own
men, The soldiers thought they were
firing blank, but the seIf-condemned
man had surreptiticusly removed the
harmless cartridges and substituted
bail ammunition, so that at his own
word of command, Fire he fell dead.
Finally, it may be mentioned that
John Lee, the Babbacombe murderer,
who survived three separate attempts

vehemently that his sentence must

This is, of course, quite contrary To

HAS FOUND Her LIFE WORK.
Syracuse IN. W Woman Successful
Electrical Contractor.

Electrical Contractor.
One little woman in Syracuse,
N. Y, wasted no time in search for
the aesthetic when she wanted a life
business. Rose B. Richardson is her
name, spirster is her state. She is
the only electrical contractor in pet
ticoats in the United States-any-
where in the world, it may be- Her
list of customers is large, and she en-
ploys a goodly force of high-priced
workmen. Miss Richardson enjoys
her work, though it isn't one of the
pretty occupations. "I'm in the bust
ness because l like it" she says. Il
was the first telephone operator in
Syracuse. and always had liking for
things relating to electricity. My
brother-in-law wished me to go into
the contracting business with him
and consented. He died three years
ago, and since then l have run it
alone. Several contractors have tried
to get me to take them as partners,
but | prefer to have it all to yself.
Some persons hesitate about ,ploy-
ing a woman to do their wor' for
them, as they fear she could not maks
her workmen attend to their duties,
but / have no trouble that way.
always personally inspect all the con-
tracts / have after the men have fin
ished. In that way keep up high
standard" Miss Richardson is still
young and is regarded by her ac-
quaintances as one of the handsomest
women in Syracuse.

My dear, among other things on this
place 1 have a $4,000 bull. A stray
rife ball"
why not shotgun" Dudley sug-
gested. Penny objected so adroitIy
that Mr.. Mixter was presently in the
position of urging on his daughter the
advantages of a weapon he detested
as well as feared. She finally conced-
ed that shotgun would do if she
could have it at once.
An hour later she was on her way
to town to make her selection and or
der her suit She had declined to try
the one until the other had been sent
up, week later. Then she came
proudly down the front steps for the
benefit of Dudley and her father,
feather and gun at exactly the dashing
angle, and beamed frank satisfaction
at them from a pose on the graveled
walk
Come on, Dud" And so volatile
are a lovers spirits that this alb
breviation of his name set Dudley
on a prancing high horse for day
and a night
Don't go near the bull pasture"
called Mr.. Mixter after them.
Penny fired her first shot, then sat
down on a log, a hand against her
right shoulder, her face dubious.
'It's-very loud" she said. Did 1
hit anything?"
You will do splendidly when you
learn not to shut your eyes" said Dud-
ley, happy in the correct placing of
her hard, little, sun-browned hands. "A
little nearer this time Ready?" Pen
ny rose to a second attempt, and at a
third began to show enthusiasm. By
the end of an hour she could almost
hit things" as she proudly explained
to her father.
'You viii be glad of it yet" she
told him. Some day may save your
life!"
"H'ml" said Mr. Mixter. Il hope
you lock the dogs up when you go
out"
Penny's Workmanship improved so
rapidly that presently she began to go
out shooting by herself. a course which
Dudley opposed with outward disinter-
estedness and inner chagrin. 1t seemed
impossible to get any hold on this
cheerful and friendly young woman.

Such being the fact, it would be most unwise
for us to stop the upbuilding Of our navy.
The only efficient use for the navy is Of
Tense.
Until our battle fleet is much larger than at
present it Should never be split into detach-
ments so far apart that they could not in the
event of emergency be speedily united
Everything done in the navy to fit it to do

peace
Our aim is disinterestedly to help other
nations where such help can be wisely given
without the appearance of meddling with what
does not concern It's.

cable way in the education of the Chinese peo-
pie, so that the vast and populous empire may

Not only there is not now, but there never
has been, any other nation in the world SO
wholly free from evils of militarism as is ours.
AS nation we have always been short
sighted in providing for the efficiency of the
army in time of'peace.
The evils we have to fight are those in con-
nection with industrialisn,, not militarisln.
The rate of the pay for officers should be
greatly increased: there is no higher type of
citizen than the American regular officer.
The deserter should be treated by public
opinion as man guilty of the greatest crime.
Among the officers there should be Sc
we're examination, to weed out the unfit up to
the grade of ma jor.
- 1t is folly for this nation to base any
hope of securing peace on any international
agreement as to the limitation of ornaments.

sons actually demand that the present
forest reserves be thrown open to de-
struct!on. because. forsooth. they think
that thereby the price of lumber could
be put down again for two or three or

opponents OF the forestry system are now
endeavoring to get the people Of the
United States to show.
The only trouble with the movement for
the preservation of our forests 10 that 1t
has not gone nearly far enough. and was
not begun soon enough. 1t 10 most for

are as emphattcally national as the rivers
which they feed, and which flow through
80 many states before they reach the

There should be no tartr on any forest
product grown In this country: and, In
especial, there should be no tariff on wood
pulp: due notice of the change being Of
course given to those engaged in the busi-
ness so as to enable them to adjust them

Of the duty on wood pulp should II posi-

Canada that there shall be no export

In the eastern United States the mineral
fuels have already passed into the hands
OF large private owners and those Of the
west are rapidly following. It Is obvious
that these fuels should be conserved and
not wasted. and 1t would be well to pro-
tect the people against unjust and extor
Tomato prices. 30 far as that can still be
done. What has been accomplished In the
great oil fields Of the Indian Territory

fers q striking example Of the good results
OF such policy. In my Judgment the
government should have the right to keep
the fee Of the coal. oil and gas fields IN
Its own possession and to lease the rights
to develop them under proper regulations;
or else. II the Congress will not adopt this
method. tho coal deposits should be sold
under limitations. to conserve them as
public utiities. the right to mine coal
being separated from the title to the soil.
The regulations should permit coal lands
to be worked In sufficient quantity by tn.
several corporations. The present Iimf-
tations have been absurd, excessive, and
serve no useful purpose and often render
1t necessary that there should be either
fraud or else abandonment Of the work of
getting out the coal.
