Justice by Committing
Suicide.

MERCER, Pa, May TO-
Jamea X. Boyle, convicted OF .
kidnapping Billy Whltla at
Sharon, was sentenced today TO
life imprisonment, and HE wife,
convicted Of completely In the
crime, was sentenced TO %
years in the penitentiary and
fined 5000.
The sentences were the heaviest
allowed under the Pennsylvania
law Besides her fine, Mrs Boyle
was compelled to pay the costs Of
her prosecution.
Before sentence was passed on
the prisoners. Attorney Miller made
a plea for lenienoy. lie pointed out
that Billy had not been mistreated
By them. and urged that the public
clamor for a heavy penalty be not
needed by the eourt. Re admitted
that the defendants had been given
fair trial. and said that he had
no complaint 10 make on that score.
Sentence 10 Passed.
When Boyle was summoned for
sentence the court asked him II
he had anything to say. and no
replied
Not word
The court then passed sentence
Of life on him. at the same time re-
fcuing 10 the Roman Law. which
condemned kidnapers to death.
MfH Boyle, replying 10 the ques-
ilon as To whether she had any
thing to say said.
No. only I did not do II. con
slider the evidence was very flimsy.T
The woman was very pale, but
heard her sentence without a
tremur In reply TO her statement
the court said
4 think you had fair trial,
aud ] do not see how the Jury
could return any other verdict. I
believe the evidence clearly shows
that you planned the kidnapping with
Boyle.
Nc Demonstration.
Standing stiffly erect while lis
toning To her sentence, the woman
then asked the court.

Her question was ignored. and
she sat down She kept her head
up brarelY while being taken back
to her cell but az soon o. the iron
door changed shut she broke down
and aobhed hysierically
The crowd IN the court room
made no demonstration when the
sentences were pronounced.
Mrs. soYie's Birthday.
Attorneys for Mrs. Boyle stated
early today that her brother. who
has been paving for her defense,
had decided not to part with any
more money. aud that probably her
case would not be appealed. An
appeal may be made any time
within six months. aud she may

Mrs Boyle was 20 years old yes

her birthday and sent her an af-

Scotland and Horse Racino

Scotland has been famous for it's horses from the most ancient days When AgricGla defeated the Caledo- nians at the battle of the Grampians, A. D. S4, the Celtic enemy, as Tacitus relates, were exceptionally strong in cavalry and chatioteers. Successive kings of Scotland did much to improve It's native breed of horses, and in this connection 1t is not to be forgotten that the first Scottish king of Eng land, James l., did more to improve the race horses in our island than was ever done before him or has ever been done by any individual since. James 1. was the real author of horse racing as it has since been known in England. He it was who first established regu- lar courses, and during his reign there came into being the code of regula- tions that led up to the modern laws of the turf. Nobody denies that horse racing has done much for the breed of British horses. 1t was gift from Scotland.-London Answers.

Bernard Shaw Is thus immortalized by Charles Hawtrey, the well known English comedian: "Once on time had mad desire to produce Sha w's play of You Never Can Tell l wrote to Shaw aud asked his permission. He answered that he would come and read it to me. He did and began by saying that sometimes he thought it was the best play that ever was writ ten and at others he considered it the greatest trash. Anyhow, he was of opinion that it was pretty poor play and that if I produced it-weli, I must take the consequences. Some time afterward I asked Shaw If I could compress the last act He declined to allow one line to be altered or cut out. In view of certain contingencies had at last to tell him that couldn't pro- duce the play. His answer was: Thank you so much. You have taken q great load of, my minGt' Now, what are you to do with a man like that?"- Minneapolis Journal.

A Very Restfui Rest.

Adolf Menzel, the German artist, wal at one time engaged on mural deco ration. He had rlgged up scaffoldlnY fin his studio, on which his model was requested to stand For two long hours the poor poseur stood up alofe In a most fatiguing posture. Menzel in the meantime worked at his sketch, needless of the fact that his model was growing tired
 At length the model found 1t neces. sary to speak. Herr professor" said he, "how about a recess?"
 Menzel apologiZed profusely for his forgetfulness ''Certalnly. certainly, my dear sir" said he Come down and rest yourself bit"
 The model had clambered from the scaffolding to the ladder which led down from it to the studio floor
 Stop" cried the artist suddenly That pose is fine! Don't move mas, cleo
 And once more the model was forced into strained riSiGity, while the enthu- siastic draftsman set about sbetchlng him.
 At the end of half an hour Menzel looked up from his work There" said he; that will do nicely. Get back on the scaifold. We have had our rest Let us get back to work again"
 What the model said is left to the readers imagination.
