ApriI Fool Joke on Preacher.

The Rev. S. b. Williams, of Wash
ington, recently engaged in the poultry
business as a little side-line for profit
as well as for pleasure He erected
chicken house in the rear OF the Bap-
tist parsonage and installed some chick
ems of fancy breed. April fools day,
he discovered that two OF his most
highly priced hens had been stolen
from the coop. He went to the coop
early the next day, hoping the missing
fowls had been replaced. But as the
day passed and the hens were still miss
ing, he decided to charge their value
to experience and the loss side of the
ledger. Saturday night there was a
loud ring at his door bell, and when
the pastor opened the door he was sur
prised to see Deacon Charles Nixon
and J. +. Meeker, the choir master,
each with hen under his arm and two
eggs in his hand. They had taken the
chickens to play joke on the parson
and to teach him lesson they said,
not to forget to lock the hen house
door at night. Mr. Williams promptly
went out and purchased paddock.

Capital punishment might, doubt

states il every murderer were assured
of as long life in prison as Robert
Crewe has undergone. Forty-two years
ago, at the request Of General AM
brose +. Burnside, then Governor OF
Rhode Island, President Andrew John
son commuted to life imprisonment
the sentence of Crewe, who was TO he
hanged for the murder of the first mate
Of bark on which he was sailor.
The judge and the jurors who tried
Crewe, the lawyers and court officers,
and all the others in any way connected
with the trial, are dead, but Crewe is
still alive. He was the last man SEN
fenced to death in Rhode Island, capi-
tai punishment having been abolished
soon after his sentence was commuted
II he could have ioreseen his long
life in durance, perhaps Crewe would
have preferred 10 be hanged and have
it over.
