Canon City, Colo.-Lewis j. Wechter
is dead The end came after twenty
four hours of agony, the suspense of
which was worse than death.
Thank God it's over, but l am in
nocent!" the slayer of Clifford Bur
rowes murmured just before he swung
from the scaffold behind the cold gray
walls OF the penitentiary here.
His face drawn and his eyes staring
out almost sightless from their sunken
sockets, trying bravely TO make his
limpid body stand erect, making one
last feeble effort to click his heels to-
gether as he stood on the death-trap.
Wechter collapsed from exhaustion as
the black cap was pulled over his
head and he was ierked into eternity
almost unconscious.
IF It had been last night | could
have been brave and met this terrible
fate like one OF Uncle ans sailors,
Wechter murmured to the death-watch
when the last summons came. But
the strain has been too great. | am
all done for, and can't make IT,"
But Wechter did make" the scaf-
fold. 1t was a last brave effort. Even
as he mounted the scaffold stairs he
rallied his last ebbing strength and
walked unassisted TO the gallows and
stood under the dangling moose. Then
the collapse came.
The little band Of watchers shud-
dered as the trap was sprung and the
body of the former sailor dropped
down and then stopped with a sicken-
ing jerk There was a twitching Of
the muscles in the arms, which were
bound To the sides of the sailor, and
then the rigid muscles tightened. and
all was over. The law had eacted its
toll for the Staying OF the hardware

FOUR RULES OF SELLING.

Salesman Landed.

Until some ten years ago 1t was an
axiom in the big packing house circles
Of Chicago that salesman should be
guided by four rules as laid down by
one OF the famous heads Of that in
dustry. He was noted for his brusque-
ness and also a democratic nature
that scorned the usual hedge of clerks
that stands between big man and his
callers.
A bright manly looking chap entered
the office one day when he was very
busy.
Good morning." he began politely.
The packer gave him a hasty glance.
We'll, what the blankety- blank
blank do you want?' he growled.
Il want civil treatment, and l want
it blankety- blank-blank quick" came
the sharp answer.

IRON TONIC FOR TREES.
Plant Nails Among the Roots and .
Vigorous Growth Results.

Vigorous Growth Results.
A dozen large nails planted among
the roots of a tree assure the tree of
health, because the vegetable saps
cause the oxidation Of the iron and
the sap carries ferruginous salts
through all the living cells and circu-
lation vessels.
Not many years ago one Of the sights
of certain French cemetery was
tree. half green, half rust colored, lux
uriantly leaved upon both sides and
In fiourishing condition. When the tree
died and preparations were made for
an examination Of its roots it was al
most impossible to exhume 1t. When
all the ground around 1t was loosened
and the roots were exposed 1t was
found that the tree when q sappling
had clasped its young roots around the
haste Of an iron balustrade encircling
a tomb. The roots Of the tree had run
In and out between the iron bars of
the fence Exactly half Of the tree
had come In contact with the iron, and
that half put forth growth luxuriant-
" leaved in rusty brown. The half
that had not touched the iron deEel-
oped a growth of normal eoloring.
The tree as a whole was fine speci-
men OF healthy vegetable growth. but
the side impregnated by iron far ex-
ceeded the green side in its output of

Sulphate of iron Is Of little value

wooden plugs and well puttied over

the tonic can escape. To do its work
the iron must be carried through the

Some Of the Wonders of This creat
Beacon Of the Nerth-
Most people, II they know n0thing
else Of astronomy. at any rate know
the pole star, the one star which seems
to keep its place in the heavens with
out movement OF any kind. There are
a great many, however. who do not
know what wonderful thing C Is. In
the first place, It can be seen when
looked at through a good telescope TO
be two stars and not one. There h one
fairly bright one. OF what Is known as
the second magnitude. and another Of
the ninth magnitude close to It.
But that Is not all The brighter OF
the two is really three stars revolving
round one another, or rather round
their common center of gravity, like
three children playing ring ring O.
roses" This secret Is revealed TO rs
by what is perhaps the most astonish-
ing Of all scientific instruments, the
spectroscope. 1t not only tells us what
the stars are made of, but whether
they are moving toward us or away
from US.
When you stand facing the star you
are always facing north The reason
that it does not appear to move as the
others do is because it is nearly In line
with the axis OF the earth. Its distance
from US Is enormous. This can be
judged from the fact that although the
earth in its journey round the sun Is
today about 190.O0Q000 miles from
where 1t was six months ago, thai
makes no appreciate difference to Ii
distance from the pole star. 1t mus
therefore be many times 190.000.O0(
miles away
