EXECUTION OF WOMEN

Two cases where women have beer
sentenced to the death chair for MUIR
der, one in Virginia and one in the
District Of Columbia, are, at the pres
ent time, causing the columns Of
newspapers to be filled with commun,
ications from sentimentally inclined
persons protesting against the sent
ence of the law being carried out, anc
urging President Taft. in the Distric'
case, and Governor Mann, in the Vir.
GINA case, to commute the sentences.
We can see no good reason for such
action being taken and believe tha'
the refusal of the executive to in
terfere with the law will meet with
the approval of all right thinking
people.
Both crimes were peculiarly re-
voting and deserve the extreme pen
atty provided by law. There were nc
extenuating circumstances. There was
nothing to mitigate the horror of the
crimes. The accused had fair trial

by the Committees, of which he is a
member, his industry and ability
have been recognized by his associ-
ates, and his services have been Sec
ond to none with whom he has been
associated. In other words he has
made good as member of the ma
jority party of the House, willingly
and industriously accepting his part
of the responsibility. IT.
There are no reactionaries in the
Democratic Party of the House of
Representatives. They are all pro-
gressives, and our own member
among the foremost. Criticism OF
him has always consisted of SANDER
and abuse By few men with whom
he refuses to be associated in local
politics, and among the many hum
dreds of votes he cast. no one has
been able to point to single vote
that has not reflected the sentiment
of his constituents, his State and his
Party. Mr.. Carlin holds that this is
Government by Parties, and that
the success of Party depends. upoS
it's ability and willingness to reflect
the sentiment of the people.
Mr.. Carlin is essentially Repre-
sentative of the plain people. Those
,;Io have known him &C q how law
yer and Representative, have al
ways known, called, and loved him
as Charlie. There are no frills about
him, no pomposity no arrogance, and
nothing in his daily intercourse with
his fellow men which even suggests
the slightest hautiness.
He is polite and courteous ana
kind and attentive to the humblest
citizen as he is to the most infiuen-
tial. His generous disposition imposes
upon him a burden which few men
could bear, and it is a matter OF great
surprise that he finds the time to per-
form the splendid public services tha'
he does. 1t is this service and his
accomplishments that have endeareG
him to the people, and it is our pur-
pose in the very near future, as stat
ed before, to give TO our readers
detailed account of his season 7:

chicken house should extend clear to
the roof of the building and should be
solidly made of boards, never of wire

free from draughts during the winter
there is bound to be serious loss of
fowls.
All open front chicken houses should
be provided with a muslin curtain to
be lowered at night during cold
weather, or during the day if a cold
wind or storm is blowing directly into
the open face of house. AS good a
way as any to rig this curtain is to
run it along tightly stretched wires
at top and bottom-using small brass
rings sewed into tho top and bottom
edges of the curtain, and about one
foot apart, to hold the curtain to the
wires.

COLD WEATHER HINTS.

Opinion will always be divided as
to the respective merits of wood and
dirt floors. Both have merits of their
own. The wooden doored pen is the
coolest in winter, but it is the easiest
to keep clean and the litter need not
be changed so often. Covering the
wooden floor with couple of inches
of loan adds greatly to the warmth of
the pen. Covering the wall behind
the roosts with tar paper makes it
warmer for the fowls at night and
heads off many cases of colds that
might easily develop into roup. If
the wooden floor of pen is close to
the ground it furnishes the rats with
grand breeding place. If high above
the ground the wind sweeps under
meath and lowers the temperature of
the pen. In this latter case it is a
good idea to board up the under part
of pen, on the north or east side at
least. This will make it decidedly
warmer.
Most chicken houses are now built
with open fronts and, no matter in
which direction the house faces, an
overhang II to 18 inches wide should

grease the combs and wattles of the
males with vaseline in freezing
weather, and the females too, if one
has time for the job. An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure.

This is caused by the fowls jumping
from the roosts to the wooden floors

some breeding birds that are right in
shape and not too far off in color. A
fowl may be so made as to deserve a
fair sized cut In every section and yet
be a we'll balanced bird; that is the
word, "well balanced" Such bird
will not set the buyer back financially
to any great extent and will prove a
dependable breeder. Greater refine
ments in the various sections may be
achieved IN time Some defects are
more important from breeding
standpoint than other defects that
stand out with greater prominence.
A point too many or too few in comb
is trif1ing when compared to rough
texture. A side sprig or thumb
mark is much more serious than a
conspicuous nick in the blade, but
want of balance in the general COM
position of the bird, that is the hope
less thing. Beauty and symmetry are
interchangeable terms. Analyze a
fowls lack of symmetry and you find
it caused by one or more discordant-
ly ugly features; continue the analy-
sis and you find that this unbeautiful
feature is always an Impractical feature
as we'll; something that is sure to de-
tract from the birds productiveness.
1t may be narrow head, or thin neck
or spindling legs on male destroying
his masculine beauty and as surely
impairing his masculine usefulness.
1t may be too heavy shanks or a
general coarseness OF build or too short
back in the female, and, just as
surely her practical value is impaired
equally with her appearance. Gen
orally speaking then it may be said
that the fowl that presents pleasing
appearance as whole, will be found
to be the best bird from a practical
point of view.
To conclude then these are some of
the main points for the beginner to
consider; what he needs, how much
he can afford to pay for it, and how
to get full value for his money. This
latter he can be most certain of get
ting by not trying to get too much.
The man OF extravagant claims then
must be avoided and close study and
observation will soon teach him to tell
the real thing from the false alarm.
If satisfied that he has not received
stock equal to the representations
made him he should make prompt
claim for redress but it is always we'll
to do this after the fashion OF a
gentleman. In no business do ac-
cident and "luck' play greater part
than in all branches of the poultry

About eight years ago at oseberg.
near Tonsberg, Norway there was un-
earthed ship of the early Viking
period. II was completely buried In
the earth, and when disinterred was
found to belong to the grave of VI
king queen, who died about A. u. 500.
Horses, carriages, and sledges were
also discovered in the grave, together
with all kinds of household furniture
and utensils and personal ornaments,
the whole forming picture OF the
state of northern civilization centu'
ries ago. Among the other articles
found were two dark rectangular
masses, which proved to be wax that
had apparently been used for the wax

recently been chemically examined by

agreed with that of the beeswax Of
