On day Of dark disgrace,
Nor have moose about his neck,
Nor a cloth about his face,
Nor drop feet foremost through the

Carson City. New, Dec 2s.-Gro-
tcsque JOY rules the death house Of
the state penitentiary here.
For at last, after almost a year
of suspense, three men bounded by
walls Of doom know how they are to
die.
Sentenced as first execution ex-
periments under Nevada's newly
legislated lethal gas chamber enact
mcnt, fates Of the trio have been re-
peatedly postponed by judicial inter-
ference.
Now, consttutionality of the death
decreed for them han just been up

Court.
Glad End Is Near
SO it will be only little while
before Thomas Russell, Hughie Sing
and Gee Jon are led into thee her
metically-sealed chamber Of concrete
with its big window standing so for
biddingly in the prison yard
Inside they will be trussed to a
chair, while through pipe, unseen
death will creep upon them.
Six witnesses permitted by law,
will watch through the glass.
Death will come silently.
It will come quickly.
And for that the condemned men
are glad.
Hope of escape long since has left
them
Months of terror waiting for the
end has shot their hair with white.
Soon the agony of suspense will be
over.
For they know definitely now how
they arc to die and when.
With oriental stoicism Hughic
Sing and Gee Jon sigh relief.
Russell, their Mexican compatriot
in death, is equally composed and as
strangely grateful.
Death by whatever means all
agree is bad enough
But to wait for it and know not
the hour or by what means society
has planned to rid itself of US is
cause for stark terror" Hughie, the
high school lad, who mixed his edu-
cation with tong vengeance, says.
In death the trio greet the New
Year.

KRAMER PROPERTY SHIPS
ANOTHER CARLOAD OF ORE

Word has been received that Bert
Goldsworthy, lessee of the Kramer
property in the vicinity of Iron
Point, recently shipped carload Of
ore to the United States Smelling
and Refining Company.
This is one of number of
shipments that have been made in
the past, all of them bringing salts
factory results. The ore is nearly
30 per cent silica and is also rich
in gold and silver.
Because of the special low freight
md treatment rate. it will be pos
ible to send to the smelter low
grade ore to be treated. The smell
ing and refining company named
ibove is looking for silica bearing
ores, and this also makes it possible
o ship the ores with profit.

ESSAY ON PANTS

Pants are made for men and not
for women.
Women are made for men and
not for pants.
When a man pants for a woman
and woman pants for man, that
makes a pair of pants.
Pants are like molasses; they are
thinner in hot weather, and thicker
in cold weather.
There has been much discussion
as to whether pants is singular or
plural; but it seems to US when
men wear pants, it's plural; and
when they don't, it's singular.
If you want to make the pants
last, make the coat first.-Tiger.

WORLD WIDE BITS
IN SMALL CHUNKS

Every hour, somewhere in the
United States, a mans life is taken.
There were more than $500 "'un-
awful" homicides in this country in
1921. One of every 10000 Ameri-
cans is murdered every year, where
as the figure in Europe is one out
of every $4,000. A prominent
writer states, "When a prospective
assassin in America is about to pull
the trigger, he knows that he will
have three powerful friends if he
commits the deed. These three are
Sentimentality, the New Psychology,
and Technically. So he pulls the
trigger and takes his chances"
The annual report of the New

mainstay in combating the nuisance.
The rats eat the ticker tape, often
destroying several rolls at a time.

See the broad grin on the face of that
