FELIX Powell.

A sadly pathetic story is related
of Felix Powell, the negro demon,
who was convicted of the murder
of the Conditt family and is now
confined in a death cell of the
county jail. A captain of the Sal
walton Army secured Sheriff Weis-
iger's permission last Saturday to
enter the Jail to administer to the
brute's spiritual needs. Armed
with the Holy Bible, this man of
God wendell his way to the con-
victed murderer cell and told
him that he came to explain to
him Gods plan of salvation.
Skidool" said the incarnate
fend, Il don't want you to read
me anything in the Bible. 1 don't
want to hear any preaching either.
Get out!" The spirit had doubt
less left the wretch. He has no
conscience, no moral sensibilities.

feel.-Victoria Advocate.

Oh,
Is that so?
Well, now. do you know
Some people think that you
Have corralled few
And laid them away
For a rainy day?
Not many, of course, but enough
For a bluff

Calls for the same,
If it ever does,
My SUI
Amt it funny
How a chap with money
Acquires a reputation
Among the common herd
Of really and truly being
A Julius Caesar bird,
When he amt anything but dove
Chuck-full of brotherly love
For everything that has a worm
He needs in his business?
Oh, say,
Ain t it rotten to think that way?
It's a sham dame
To queer the fair fame
Of saint
Who is what he is and amt what

Don't i?
What do you suppose inspires
People to be such liars?
