Trouble to Enforce Laws.

Deadwood Telegram: Our legisla-
lures and congress enact laws to gov
ern the people. while the courts, strug-
Cling under the burden of vicious
technicalities, in rules Of practice, arc
frequently helpless to enforce them.
The growing maudlin sentiment in
this country that moral suasion is the
penacea for all evil is becoming too
prevalent. Too many Of our laws are
winked at. Enforce the laws to the
letter as they do in England and law
will be respected. Until then murder,
robbery, malfeasance in Office will
flourish.

But anybody that this Is going TO entail a

OF the pleasures OF the trip to have TO lead

pIsrILLrNe TuRPENTINE ELECTRICALLY

The attention of Consul General George n. West

reviews the progress made:
The operations thus far have been carried

and painters, who have used the product both for

who have the most thorough knowledge of the

that the small plant now in operation is producing

A MOMENT OF TENSION

Was there a big lion among them? Would they
clear at once? or would they wait and make sure?
Would they stand? Would they charge? I had my
tense, glorious moment surely. I could hear the
painting breath of the two who had crawled
out after and We're crouching beside me
And then. at the last. fortune smiled on me- in
deed, 1 a movement among the tawny mass.
And slowly, casually, out OF the bosom Of his fam
fly. he came. And the lion of my dreams he
seemed. Big ard black with no common black
ness surely the true king of that wild and beauti
ful place. Slowly. and till in the middle OF
the narrow green, grassy aisle he stood, the sun
shining full his magnificent coat, and the dark
rich. low hanging name that covered his shoulders
Then slowly, carelessly he turned his broad black
head toward and shifted the tainted air that
drifted down to him the dewy grass Who
shall attempt to describe the feelings of the man
who. after long waiting. knows. he steadily
presses the yielding trigger home that he is ON!
That triumphant instant may be the result of some
dark survival of barbarism within him: all the
same it is living, L is glorious 1t mine. and
is part of me forever.
"A deep grunting roar answered the shot and
quickly he swung round his body toward where it
came from. As he did SO, l fired very quickly
