Cali Of these and others, with yet

America. In fact, believe that clean.

him calling.
"Mnvyer,' said the shrill voice. I'm

The mother made no reply. Again
the Shrill voice arose:

The mother remained indifferent.
Once more the voice hailed her:

keeping them so cool that they will
not sprout.

Vermont's Last Hanging.

The last execution to take place in
Vermont by hanging will he early in
January. Arthur Bosworth, a subject
of Great Britain. who was convicted
of the murder of May Labelle at Essex
Junction in May. 1912, failed to get
the last legislature to commute his
sentence, although the number of
persons who have received life impris-
onment for murder in Vermont is
about equal.
Ever since 1880 there appears to
have been varying way of admins
tering punishment for murder. In 1880
Edwin C. Hayden. a. hotel keeper of
Derby, invited lot of his friends to
his execution, telling them that on
such date there would be what he
termed necktie party at the prison.
and he wanted all that he had known
cording to all accounts it was, not a
very sorry spectacle. as he went to his
death with the utmost Indifference,
after reading speech which he had
prepared for the occasion.
The next man was Lewis Almon
Meeker. but the legislature committed
his sentence to life imprisonment.
Mrs. Emmeline Meeker was executed
in March, 1883, the first woman who
ever met such fate in the state.
Not another execution took place
until the winter Of 1892. when Sylves-
ter, Bell, a Franklin county farmer,
was executed. This was when the law
said that the sentence should be
carried out between the hours of l
and p. m. Bell was talkative kind
of man and tried to take advantage of
his privilege to make remarks on the
scaffold by using up the whole hour.
An alert sheriff noted the probability
and Mr.. Bell was dropped at about ten
minutes before the limit of time. Thus
tions in Vermont. The change of
public opinion toward life imprison.
ment began about 1892 and continued
until the execution of Mary Rogers in
December, 1906. The death of Mrs.
Rogers was accomplished in a crude
way. Her feet struck the floor and
she was afterwards raised. and allowed
to strang]e until death came, according
to the story of those who witnessed
the event.
No more executions took place until
Elroy Kent was hanged in January,
1912. This was even more brutal than
in the case of Mrs. Rogers. since the
rope broke entirely and Kent fell to
the floor He was raised and the rope
hitched to the balustrade of the
gallows, where he hung until pro-
nounced dead by the physicians.
With the exception of Hayden all
those who have been hung in Vermont
have been of the abandoned, ignorant
and poverty stricken type, from 1880
until the present. All others who
have killed anybody have got off with
a life sentence or have been convicted
of manslaughter, where the penalty
is one year or more.
Whether the use of the electric chair
will be superseded in time by the
abolition of the death penalty is a
difficult question. Many are already
in favor of the change.

drawn up by J. G. Wallace of Russell vile, Prosecuting Attorney Steel Hayes of Dardanelle and Judge R. c. Bullock of Dardanelle.
 The bill twill be presented to the leg islature as soon as the boundary lines of the proposed district are determin- ed and the commissioners named.
 The proposed district will include about half of Pope and Yell counties, and the bridge would give Dardanelle better connection with territory now which is reached only by crossing a pontoon bridge, which is in use here.
 w. A. Crawford. a principal of Rus selNille, in an address announced ! that Lovick P. Miles, attorney for the Rock Island Railroad Company had declared that the Rock Island railroad would be willing to pay $25 .000 year 1 igor tile right to run trains over the bridge. This was not an official offer ! MT. Crawford said, but only an asser- tion to show the willingness of the Rock Island to aid in the project.
 should the district be formed it is 1 planned to not only have trains run across the bridge. but wagon road and trolley line may be extended across the structure.
