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 Fun. •OO Per Annum in Advance. 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. —L. A. W. Bulletin. 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. ” Detroit Free Press. Stoneless Acres.

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 crat. 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.
