Pleasant For James.

When Mr.. Ransom won his bride, he
felt properly humble at securing such
a prize, and in the after years Mrs.
Ransom never allowed him to lapse
into forgetfulness of her condescension.
"You really cared for me, I'm sure"
said Mr.. Ransom. "That is a great
comfort-to think I didn't urge you
against your wishes" 81
James," said Mrs. Ransom, in tone
suited to her imposing and somewhat
massive appearance, chow could you
ever doubt my affection? Have not
told you that had proposals from men
who were brilliant, handsome and tai
ented and passing them all by, James,
! chose you!"-Youth's Companion.

Corporal Punishment,

Corporal punishment formerly had a
wider significance than mere whip
ping. Henry de Bracton, chief justici-
airy of England in the reign Of Henry
Ill, divided corporal punishment into
two kinds-those inflicted with and
without torture. The stocks and the
pillory would rank as corporal punish
ment; also mutilations and other grim
tortures when imposed not to extort
confessions. but as penalties, and the
branding in the hand for felony, which
was not abolished until George Ills
time.

A man giving his name as William
Bailey was arrested here last Saturday
afternoon, and he is believed to be the
man who on May 90, shot and killed
Sheriff Bath of Laramie, Wyoming, near
Woods Landing. The man tallies with
the description of the murderer sent out
with the exception that his shoe Is two
sizes larger and only two teeth are miss

four. The arrest was made Saturday
but the officers suppressed the report of
it in the belief that they had Summers
and wished to make sure before letting
the public know of the capture.
