The Trial Of Amos came on. He had
had "blood ON his feet" as they used
TO say. all the way from Lickitysplit
10 Lewis county In his flight. having
attacked and slightly wounded two
men with a bowie knife who had tried
10 detain him at Rainy Lake. He had
also shot M an officer in the vicinity
of Lowyille, where his arrest was ef-
fected. He had been Identified by all
these men, and SO his character as a
desperate man had been established.
This In connection with the scar on his
, face and the tracks. which the boots
OF Amos fitted. and the broken gun
stock convinced the jury OF his guilt.
remember well the look OF the
venerable Judge Cady as he pro-
rounced the sentence Of death upon
Amos Grimshaw. A ray OF sunlight
slanting through a window In the late
afternoon fell upon his gracious coun-
tenance, shining also. with the softer
light OF his spirit. Slowly. solemnly,
kindly, he spoke the words Of DOOM
II was his way of saying them that
first made me feel the dignity and
majesty OF the law. The kind and fa-
therly tone OF his voice put me In
mind OF that supremest court which
is above all question and which was
swiftly TO enter judgment In this mat
ter and In others related To II.
Slowly the crowd moved out of the
courtroom. Benjamin Grlmshaw rose
and calmly whispered TO his lawyer.
He had not spoken 10 his son or
seemed TO notice him since the trial
had begun, nor did he now. Many had.
shed tears that day. but not he. Mr..
GripshaY never showed but one emo
tion-that of anger. He was angry
now. His face was hard and stern. He
muttered as he walked out OF the
courtroom, his cane briskly beating the
floor.
The Silent Woman--as ragged as
ever-was waiting on the steps. Out
went her bony finger as he came down.
He turned and struck at her with his
cane and shouted In a shrill voice that
rang out like trumpet In his frenzy:

Land of avidity,
Of thee | moan!
Land of the watersimps,
Ruled by the mental shrimps -
Fooled by the anti-imps-
Dry as a bone! -
Spiritless hill and dale
Gumdrops and lollypops
Doest thou consume!
Soda and lemonade
Near-beer that's just as bad,
Drinks which the chemists made
Killed joy with gloom!
Banned hast thou malt and hops
Gumdrops and lollypops
Thy standards be!
Brew'ries and bars are closed
Since thou by fakes art bossed-
Anderson and his host
Make sport Of thee!
No real mans drink on tap,
Nothing with pep or snap,
Has thou for sale!
Those who would raise a thirst
If they're with riches cursed
Go to a doctor first
Or go to jail! ----
What will thy heroes say
Now they are here today
This they will think:
Oh, what a cheerless place!
Oh, what a spineless race!-
Let's back to Heaven chase
And get a drink!

Coon Hound Pups
Shown in Window

Did you see the woody pups that
were in the west window of Horna-
days Hardware store last week?
They are two coon hound pups that
belong to Mr.. Fred Miller who lives
near Thisuethwaite's Falls. And
they are full blooded pups too. Mr.
Miller paid 500 for the mother Of
these dogs. Although they are
only two months old, they look as
big as most dogs do at six months,
and their coats are brown, shading
TO black. And their ears-how
many of you noticed their long
ears? When you brought their
ears across the front of their face,
they Tapped over each other an
inch. They love to play and are
just trying to bark. One man,
in Hornaday's,, thinks that they
could eat all day, if there were
anything for them to eat Every
day they had a plate of hash and
loaf Of bread.
81 would put the plate of hash
in the window, and turn around to
get the bread. BY the time had
the bread in the window, the hash
was gone"
The dogs are generous as long
as they have bone apiece, but
they have been known to fight for
twenty minutes when just one
bone was thrown to them.
Mr.. Miller would not sell these
two pups for anything. He likes
them too well. But he will proba
bly, let you see them If you walk
out to his house and ask him.
