When brought to the cell door she exclaim ed : ‘“That’s the man. That's him! Oh, my God, if I only were a man. Will some one loan me a revolver?’ "Morrison shrank away from the gaze of his victim and begged the of ficers to take her away. “Meantime the crowd outside the jail was howling for vengeance and far into the bight they kept up the shouting for swift punishment, the mob being augmented hourly by ar rivals of indignant farmers from the neighboring towns.” CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the /7a fl Signature of He Knew How to Take It. Here is a atory which is vouched for by a local Standard Oil official, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It con cerns a certain superintendent who was sent up to the company’s works at Whiting, to oversee matters. One morning as he was strolling about with bis eyes open he discovered an Irishman laying pipe in the customary excavation. The superintendent is a very irrascible man. In addition to this, he has a wonderful command of sulphurious language. Something about the man’s work displeased him, and he suddenly opened up,or, rather, down, on the poor fellow in bis heav iest artillery. But, though he con demned him to perdition in a dozen diffeient ways, the man in the ditch never so much as looked up. If be had been deaf and dumb he couldn’t have taken his roasting more stolidly. The superintendent suddenly pulled up in his wild tirade. "See here, my man,” he roared, “don’t you know I’m giving you hell?” The pipe layer paused. Slightly turning his head he squinted up at i the superintendent. "An' ain't I takin’ it like a little i mon?” he asked quietly, For Bladder Troubles use Stuart’s Gin and Bn | clni. His Mistake- Few women outside of royal person, ages ever ask the hand of a man in marriage. Perhaps ouj one ha» had the experience of being rejected by a man without having proposed to him. That there was one is evident from the published memoir of Dr. Jowett of Oxford. The master of Balli h’s per sonality was potent, and good women felt its fascination. An undergraduate was ill in college, and his sister, coma ing to Oxford to nurse him, was in vited by Dr. Jowett to stop at his house, She received from him the utmost kindness and attention, and when leaving said, with much hesitation, that abe would venture to ask a very great favor. She again hesitated. The master grew uneasy and looked inter rogative. ‘Will you marry me?’ at last the asked. ‘That would not bo O ood eithrr for you or me.’ ‘Oh, oh,’ exclitned the young woman, blushing even more deeply. 'I meant to say I am going to be married, and would you perform the service?' Bears the ln( l Yoa 3ve BctlgM Signature A fl of A Carnival of Crime. Notwitbstauding the terrible fate <>!
