EXECUTION OF MAXIMILIAN.
He Received His Sentence Calmly and
Met Death Like a Hero.
The execution had been fixed for
June 16. At 11 o’clock on that day
sentence was read to the condemned,
who were told that it would be car
ried into effect at 3 o’clock on the
same afternoon.
Maximilian received the intelli
gence calmly and devoted the fol
lowing hours, which he deemed his
last, to dictating letters to Dr. Basch
and to his Mexican secretary, Senor
Blasio. He then confessed to Padre
Soria and heard mass in General
Miramon’s chamber, where the con
demned men received the last sacra
ments, after which he signed his let
ters and took leave of those about
him. In removing his wedding ring
and handing it to Dr. Basch he said,
“You will tell my mother that I did
my duty as a soldier and died like a
Christian.” After this he quietly
awaited death.
The appointed hour passed, how
ever, without his being summoned
to execution. After prolonged sus
pense, at 4 o’clock in the afternoon
news arrived that a reprieve of three
days had been granted by the presi
dent in order that the condemned
might have time to make their last
dispositions.
This unexpected delay naturally
aroused hopes among the friends of
the doomed men. These hopes, it is
said by those closest to him at that
time, were not shared by Maximil
ian. He continued his preparations
with the same calm dignity that had
not once forsaken him, but he sent
a telegram to the national govern
ment asking that the lives of Gen
erals Miramon and Mejia, “who had
already undergone all the anguish
of death, be spared” and that he
might be the only victim. The re
quest was denied.
After making this supreme effort
on behalf of his generals he employ
ed his remaining hours in dictating
letters, and when night came he
slept soundly.
On the morning of his execution
(June 19) he arose at 3 o’clock and
dressed carefully. At 4 o’clock
Padre Soria came and once more
gave him the last sacrament. An
altar had been erected for this pur
pose in a niche formed by a passage
way to his cell. This religious duty
having been performed, he gave in
structions to Dr. Basch, sending
greetings and last tokens to friends.
At a quarter before 6 he breakfast
ed, and when, on the stroke of 6, the
officer appeared who was to lead
him to execution he was ready, and
himself called his companions in
death. Three hacks had been pro
vided for the condemned. The prince
entered the first with the priest, and,
escorted by the soldiery, the mourn
ful procession moved through a
dense crowd to the place of execu
tion.
On arriving at the Cerro de las
Campanas, where a month before he
had made his last stand, the fallen
emperor looked about him for a
friendly face, and, finding only his
servant, the Hungarian Tudos, he
asked,“ls no one else here?” It is
said, however, that Baron Magnus,
the Prussian minister, and Consul
Bahnsen were present, although out
of sight.
The good priest weakened under
the ordeal. He felt faint, and the
prince held his own smelling bottle
to his nose.
Followed by Generals Miramon
and Mejia, Maximilian walked to
ward the open square, where an
adobe wall had been erected, against
which they were expected to stand.
About to take his position in the
middle, Maximilian stopped and,
turning to General Miramon, said:
“A brave soldier should be honored
even in his last hour. Permit me to
give you the place of honor. ” And
he made way for him.
An officer and seven men had been
detailed to do the deadly work. The
prince gave each of the soldiers a
piece of gold, asking them to aim
carefully at his heart, and, taking
off his bat, he said: “Mexicans, may
my blood be the last to be spilled for
the welfare of the country, and if it
should be necessary that its sons
should still shed theirs may it flow
for its good, but never by treason!
Long live independence! Long live
Mexico!”
He then laid his hands on his
breast and looked straight before
him Five shots fired at short range
pierced his body. Each of them was
mortal. He fell, and as he still
moved the officer in charge pointed
to his heart with his sword, and a
soldier stepped forward and fired a
last shot.—Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson
in Century.
Her Strong Point.
They had looked soulfully into
each other's eyes for some time, but
somehow he didn't seem to come to
the point Then suddenly he made
a discovery.
“You have your mother’s beauti
ful eyes, dear,” he said.
She felt that the time had come to
play her trump card. “I have also,”
she said, “my father’s lovely check
book.” Within 30 minutes their en
gagement was announced.—London

Fate.
Two youths into a garden went one morn at
rise of sun.
Where each a plat of ground would clear of
choking weeds, and one
Worked in the freshness of the dawn
And finished ere noon’s heat came on.
The other said, “Before I toil I’ll play awhile,"
and so
He let the morning hours slip by in idleness,
and, though
He labored through the noontide heat,
At eve his task was incomplete.
Two youths into life's garden went, great pur
poses to find.
One labored through the morn. To him the
gods were good and kind.
The other played till late—so late—
And charged life’s ill success to fate.

THE “MILK SICK” IN GEORGIA
A Malady Peenliar to the State That Has
Baffled Investigation.
“The milk sick up in north Geor
gia is a terrible thing,” said Turn
key Terry at the police barracks.
“The what?” asked the new su
pernumerary, who used to sell
patent hair oil.
“The milk sick, ” replied the turn
key, “the sickness caused by the
milk from cows becoming impure,
and it is not only a bad disease, but
I have never heard of a man being
able to tell what made the milk im
pure. ”
“You ain’t talking about a weed
which the cows eat and which
sometimes gets mixed with the
clover?” asked a call officer who
used to run a farm.
“Ob, no!” the turnkey replied,
with a motion of impatience. “Don’t
you think I know the weed you are
talking about? The milk sick I have
reference to is only known in three
or four counties in Georgia and on
only a few spots in those counties.
I have heard of it in Union, Fannin,
Towns and Rabun counties. If the
milk is made impure by any sort of
a weed or vegetable, the people
have never been able to find it out.
All of a sudden every person who
drinks the milk is made violently
ill, and I have heard of a few deaths
from it. Strange to say, the cows
are not sick at all. Farmers have
tried to ascertain what it was the
cows eat that hurts the milk, and
now a great many of them believe
that it is a gas which rises from the
ground, which the cow r s inhale.
Whenever a place is located which
injures the milk, the spot is fenced
off, and it stays off all the while.
The fences are strong and high, and
it is worth a man’s life to touch the
rails.”
“Can you see anything wrong
about the milk?” asked the super
numerary.
“No, and what’s more you can’t
taste anything wrong with the milk.
It looks all right and it tastes all
right, but just as soon as you swal
low it you become awfully nauseat
ed, and you will stay ill for days at
a time. I have seen whole families
keel over at the same time just as if
somebody had shot them. The rea
son people think it is a gas that the
cows breathe is because on a num
ber of occasions the milk has been
contaminated with the poison when
the cows were kept all day where
there wasn’t a speck of anything
green or growing for them to eat.
Milk sick is looked upon in the
counties I have mentioned as yel
low fever is in New Orleans and
other seaport towns. Just let it get
out that a place has been discovered
where the cows get their milk poi
soned, and you will see the whole
settlement rush out and go to build
ing a fence around it. ”
“Ever had the milk sick your
self?” asked the station sergeant.
“Only once. I went to visit a
neighbor, and 1 drank two cups of
fresh sweet milk, and five minutes
afterward I thought my time had
come to bid the world goodby. You
may talk about seasickness, but I
would rather roll in a ship in a storm
for a year than go through a spell
of milk sick again. I don’t believe I
drank any milk for two years after
my experience.”—Atlanta Constitu
tion.
The Alchemy of Nature.
“Your trouble,” said the lively
widow to the young heiress, “is that
you don’t understand even slightly
this animal we call man. You want
ed to marry Cokely, and as your
friend I left the field open until you
admitted that your chance was
hopeless. Now he and I are en
gaged.”
“He’s a horrid wretch.”
“Thanks! But a month ago you
thought him the dearest man on
earth. He is, and he belongs to the
‘strong oak’ type. You didn’t know
enough to be the clinging vine. You
failed to lean on him and flatter his
distinguishing quality. You were
always trying to do something for
him. I reversed the order and de
lighted him by having hi m do things
for me. I made him realize how
much he could be to me and delight
ed him with my gratitude for the
advice I was constantly getting
about my affairs. To use the atro
cious slang of the day, I swelled his
head, and if you know how to use it
the recipe will win the affections of
nine men out of ten. It is the true
love potion prepared by the cunning
alchemy of nature. Positively, my
dear, you young girls weary me. ”

He serves his country best
Who lives pure life and doeth righteous deed
And walks straight paths, however others

And leaves his sons as uttermost bequest
A stainless record which all men may read.
This is the better way.
No drop but serves the slowly lifting tide.
No dew but has an errand to some flower.
No smallest star but sheds some helpful ray,
And man by man, each giving to all the rest,
Make the firm bulwark of the country’s power.
•There is no better way.

For men to dig us up when we are dead.

FROM MILLIONS TO CENTS.
An Illuminative Incident In Extensive
Financial Transactions.
They boarded a car at Wall street
and pushed to the rear and squeezed
themselves side by side into one for
tuitously vacant seat, thoroughly
oblivious of the feelings or counte
nances of the men anti women about
them.
One was a rather young man of
striking clothes and features, both
pretty well set off by a fine diamond
pin in a very red tie; the other, an
older man, whose well cut clothes
and wrinkled face impressed observ
ers with a combination of dollars
and dyspepsia. Their conversation
was neither remarkably loud nor re
markably low. r lhe only thing re
markable about it was the size of
the dollar marks they dealt in.
“If you will make it $5,000,000, I
will have the parties at your office
in the morning. ”
This from the young man. The
answer of his companion was lost in
ajurch of the car, which landed a
woman and a baby in his lap. They
paused politely to accept her apolo
gies and frown at the baby. The
secpnd capitalist continued the con
versation.
“The deal is good for over $30,-
000,000 in three years, and”—
A second interruption occurred,
more ominous than the first. The
conductor had forced himself
through the throng.
“Fares, please.”
The woman with the baby paid.
“Fares, please.”
This time to the five and thirty
million dollarites, whose imposing
figures had evidently not reached
the ears of the conductor. He held
out his hand. His two passengers
kept both theirs running from one
pocket to another, without result.
The gentleman next to them in the
corner reached out and paid his
fare.
“Fares,” repeated the conductor.
The dyspeptic clutched 4 cents
nervously. He had got that for a
newsboy, after spending S2O worth
of time, at $1 a second, waiting on
the corner. The other 6 cents was
not forthcoming. The passengers
stopped growling. Those who had
attempted it stopped reading their
papers. Even the baby snickered,
but the mother accidentally knocked
it against the conductor, and, as if
partly in sympathy with the plight
of its late enemies, it began to howl.
“Hurry up, gentlemen.”
There was very little patience left
in the conductor’s voice.
“That’s all right,” said the young
man. “We haven’t got any
change.”
Possibly the millionaires were
short of Metropolitan and didn’t
want to take any chances of increas
ing its dividends.
“You’ll have to get off,” said the
conductor.
“Wait a minute,” said the dys
peptic. He had struck something in
the depths of his overcoat pocket.
His anxieties had fallen from $30,-
000,000 to 6 cents in two minutes,
and no wonder he was excited. The
young man’s countenance was as
undisturbed as the car window it
self, though he moved to get out.
But his cocapitalist had at last ex
tricated one lone coin from hisover
coat. It was a nickel, and their to
tal available assets bad now risen
to 9 cents. The conductor reached
for the money. The car had been
stopped.
“Never mind about the cent,” he
said, and the 9 cents was passed in
to his hand.
A few more snickers among the
standers and a few from the sitters,
and the millionaires were both bur
ied in their newspapers, and the car
moved on But the passengers had
lost forever all chance of hearing
the rest of that $30,000,000. —New
York Sun.
Think Success.
The oftener one gives exercise to
any faculty—uses, not abuses, it—
the stronger and more flexible it be
comes A Frenchman said once on
a time that whenever he wanted a
book on a certain subject and could
not find it he wrote one.
There is a tremendous lesson in
that; it means that each one of us
can find out as much about any
thing we wish to be informed upon
as any other human being in the
world if we will only determine to
do so. We can achieve and conquer
anything another can if we make up
our minds to the performance of it
and make the determination the
law of our life. Success has its
laws, the basic principle of which
is, “Give your best to get the best. ’’
A writer on mental forces says,
“Think success and you win suc
cess.”—New Orleans Times-Demo

Erudition on the Force.
A big gray coated police officer
walked into the sergeant’s room at
the arsenal the other day and placed
on the desk a woolly toy lamb that
he had nicked up in the park.
“What on earth is that?” asked
the sergeant.
“The effigy of a sheep, sir,” said
the gray coated one seriously.—New
York Commercial Advertiser.
