Boiling Criminals to Death.

Boiling criminals to death was
once legal mode of execution in
England for counterfeiting and lat
er for committing murder by poi
sonlng. An act Of parliament pass
ed in 1881 provided that convicted
polsoners should be boiled to death,
though this form Of punishment
was not applied to any other class
OF murders. The law was in force
about fifteen years, and under it
three persons were boiled to death,
one cook who put poison in food
intended for his parish poor and
another maid who poisoned her
mistress. A Dublin paper of Feb.
28, 1909, said that twelve coiners
(counterfeiters) were seized in the
act Of coming and, having been
tried and found guilty, were four
hours afterward boiled in oil, three
OF them women" "-Dallas News.

A Drink and a Fiuht.

The Albanians used to practice a
form of dueling well nigh as fatal
as that advocated by Sir Charles
Napier. Sir Richard Burton, who
once commanded a corps Of bashi-
bazouks, writes that "the Albanian
contingent, who generally fight
when they are drunk, had a peculiar
style of monomachy. The princi..
pals, attended by their seconds and
by all their friends, stood close op..
posite, each holding a cooked pistol
in his right hand and glass Of
raki or spirits of wine in his left.
The first to drain his draught had
the right to fire, and generally blaz-
ed away with fatal effect. It would
have been useless to discourage this
practice, but I insisted on fair
play."-London Chronicle.

One Dante Missed.

We came to a great lake OF mol
ten lead. On the banks stood thou
sands of hydroplanes. Every sixty
seconds a cringing shade was prod
ded into the seat Of a hydroplane
and compelled to shoot high into
the air. When the machine had
reached an elevation of 1000 feet
the hydroplane would wobble until
it tossed the screaming occupant
out, and he would fall into the lake
below.
"What does this mean?" We
asked.
"This is where we punish the
men who rocked the boats wher
they were on earth," replied his
satanic majesty. - Cincinnati En-

PROUD OF SINNOTT.

All Of the large New York and
Washington newspapers devoted
much space to Representative
Sinnotts brilliant and eloquent
speech in the house on March 27,
against the repeal of the provision
in the Panama canal act providing
for free tolls for American coast
wise ships. Mr.. Sinnott was not
only warmly commended for his
splendid oratorical effort but for
reasoning in handling this weighty
subject.
Out here in Oregon we read his
speech and the fattering comment
following it in the big papers Of
the east with thrill of pride that
"Nick" Sinnott is OUR congress-
mantle representative of the
second congressional district of
Oregon. Yes, Mr. Sinnott is more
than our congressman, for the en-
tire state and west is proud to
claim him because of the remarkable
record he has made during his first
year in the national house.-The
Dalles Chronicle.

that Senator Chamberlain has con-
sented to espouse the cause of the

Placinq the House.

Don't put the house too close to
the main road. Have it at least 100
feet away. When you get it too
close dust comes into the house,
and you sacrifice the privacy of the
home to certain extent. Houses
too close to the road do not look
well and are not as valuable. No
tice this next time you drive to
town. Provide a windbreak and
trees for shade. Have the main
highway in view from certain win
dows in the house. - Progressive

According to report from Wash
ington, D. G. published in The Eve
ming Telegram of Wednesday last, a
political combination has been per-
fected between Chamberlain, West
and Bourne. This was brought
about during the recent visit of Gov.
West to Washington. According to
this story West is to be an independ-
ent candidate for governor should
c. j. Smith fail of nomination, and
the battle cry is to be statewide
prohibition. The amusing part of
