Governor Tells Story

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 If Henry Williams, who made his es- cape from the warden's residence today while Governor Hadley was regalng Warden Andrate and other members of the Painted Rock Hunting and Fishing club with what he considered one of his best hunting tales, is ever recaptured he will stand no chance of parole.
 Williams was being tried out for the first time as a trusty by the warden, who was keeping a pretty sharp eye on his man. The governor began his story and every one, including the warden, was lis tening. When the governor concluded the warden looked for Williams and he had disappeared Williams was serving five years for burglary and came here from Franklin county

 At no time did the market show any enthusiasm, the desire to tako profits be- ing the dominant feature Of the session.
 A sharp falling off in the ginning for this period is indicated by the early esti- mates by the National ginners, but even a showing of half of last season did not stimulate buying, 1t only prevented sell inG.

From the London Chronicle
 The wedding ring has been convert ed into an instrument of torture. Cyril Davenport. in his book on jewelry, says that there was an old custom in the Isle of Man according to which an un- married girl who had been offended by a man could. bring him to trial. and if he were found guilty she would be given a sword. a rope and ring. With the sword she might cut off his head with the rope she might hang him, or with the ring she might marry him. It is said that the latter punishment was that invariably inflicted.
