"MURDERERS SHOULD BE
KILLED." SAYS BOURGET

PARIS. June Paul Bourget. the
famous French novelist, gave his opin-
ion recently on the readiness with
which medical experts and alienists
find pathological excuses for murder.
ers He believes that when murder
is committed the killer should suffer
death for the crime. no matter what
exceptional influences may have been
at work.
Whoever kills should be killed he
said. "and in this Mosaic code which
is a model OF legislation, you will OBJ
serve that this law Is applied even TO
animals The Intervention OF the
alienists has decreased the respect for
law and lessened the authority Of the
magistrates | am in favor Of trying
to regenerate the degenerates so long
as they have not committed murder
Once they have committed that ulu-
mate crime they should be killed like
savage beasts"

First Lead Pencils.

One of mans best friends, says "Prometheus," will have 250th birth day some time in 1908. The day can not be fixed when the lead pencil was first used, but all signs, all records, show that 1t was just about 250 years ago that the useful article was invent ed. The 'praeductau" of ancient Rome, which was a leaden disk used to draw lines. was undoubtedly its progenitor. In the fourteenth cen tury lead and silver points were used in Italy, but employed exclusively by artists. For the sake of cleanliness these were encased in wood and be- came the first lead pencils, but the pencil similar to those of the present day came after discovery of graphite in 1865.

He's vulgar an ondacint whin you give him d kick in the right place. So what could he do only talk about the shtink.n' things that was runnin in his mind. He implies that the iditor iv the Dimmicrat hit him wid shtink-pot. Ain't that nice delicate way for an eddecated man to defind himself?
 Now don't deny that some wan hit him wid that same. That's it; hold yer nose). It might have bin the janither, or it might have been Judge Cole. I don't think lawn Kellogg would do anything like that. But, say, Hinnessy, the funny thing is that whin the pot broke on that not very thin skull iv his, ayther because the man didn't have very clane Suoes, or because iv fwhat he is by nature, the shmell in the neighborhood was not made much worse by the addition.
