to sell 10 per cent Of his days trade
at cost Of little bit better while
85 per cent was selling from his reg
ular stock at regular prices was not
a real merchant. He also said that
experience had shown only about / |,
per cent Of the towns that take up
the Golden Rule plan fail, these fail
ures being due to lack of faith on the
part of the merchants themselves.
He declared any merchant who fails
to have faith in his own business Is
a failure from the start, and that
such is the case with any other prop
osition. He appealed for an absolute
100 per cent faith on the part Of the
whole community in the Golden Rule
idea in order that it may be put over
and developed in the largest sort of
way.

BLUEBEARD'GOES
TO CUlLLOTINE
Calls Suggestion That He Was
Making Confession An Insult
Refuses Sacrament

VERSAILLES, Feb. 25- (By AS
sociated Press. )-Henri Desire Lam
dru, the "Bluebeard of Gambais,'
convicted of the murder of ten wo-
men and one boy, gave his life this
morning in exchange for the eleven
he had taken. The triangular knife
Of the Guillotine fell at five minutes
past six O'Clock, the slight delay
causing many to think Landrau was
making a confession.
1T is an insult To me- Landru
said. Had any confession to make
] would have made it long ago" He
refused the sacrament, but eonversed
a few moments with a priest.
The Guillotine was erected only
a few feet from the main entrance
Of the Jail. Landru walked the few
steps without faltering. An execu-
toners assistant caught him about
the waist, leVeled him on the table,
which immediately up ended The
heavily weighted knife slid down and
the whole affair was over in less than
20 seconds.
The crowd uttered no cry, silence
being broken by the bugles in near
by barracks and the angelus bells.
