“The Hanging Judge.”
Big Peter McCullough, 76 years old,
the "hanging judge” of Andersonville,
Ga., prison during the Civil War, died
recently at his home in Mexico, Mo.,
after a short illness with pneumonia.
McCullough 'sentenced six of his fellow
prisoners to death in the Andersonville
stockade and personally aided in carry
ing out the sentence.
The Union soldiers were charged with
being ringleaders in raids when they
stole the scanty rations of other prison
ers, their valuables, and, as McCullough
expressed it, "They took our lives
when they took our grub.”
McCullough recently related to
friends the story of the hanging as fol
lows:
"The gang wag known as the ‘raid
ers, ’ and they had everything their own
way for nearly three months. We sent
a petition to the prison authorities and
requested relief. They granted our re
quest, and sent in a body of armed men,
to whom we pointed out the raiderB. In
three hours we had rounded up 200
men, who were identified with all kindB
of villainy. They were marched out
side the stockade that they might re
ceive a fair trial.' In fact, the raiders
begged to be taken out for fear of vio
lence, as there were 66,000 prisoners in
the stockade.
"The stockade waB in command of
Copt. Henry Wlrtz, a Swiss, who per
mitted us to organize a court, elect a
judge and impannel a jury to try our
prisoners.
"I was elected judge of that court,
and the first day I tried fully 100 men
for petty misdemeanors. The raiders
soon saw we meant busineBB, and, like
men of to-day, they wanted immunity.
In a short time we had the ringleaders
spotted.
"Their trial lasted two days, and
finally the six raiders were found guilty
of 'murder, ’ or such crimes that made
their presence among us intolerable.
They were sentenced to death.
"The condemned men thought that
the whole thing was a hoax concocted
to frighten them, and they refused to
believe we were in earnest until they
were brought within sight of the scaf
fold.
"Wo had everything ready and the
nooses were quickly adjusted. We had
no trap doors, but a man was stationed
behind each prisoner, and at the word
we gave each man a shove. The drop
wbb six feet.
"The hanging broke up raiding. We
formod a league among the better class
of prisoners and were allowed to puniBh
all offenders in the Btockade.”
Now Fools Entirely Well.
A. H. Francis, Zenith, Kans., writes:
"I had a severe pain in my back and
could hardly move. 1 took about two-
thirds of u 60c. box of Foley’s Kidney
Pills and now feel entirely well.” Mid
dle-aged and older men and women find
these pills relieve sleep-disturbing blad

Be friendly to everybody.
Advertise in its newspapers. .
Elect good men to all the offices.
Don’t grumble Bbout hard times.
Avoid gossip about your neighbors.
Keep your sidewalks in good repair.
Do your trading with your own mer
chants.
Sell all you can and buy all you can
at home.
If you don’t think of any good word
to say, don’t say anything about it,
If you are rich, invest something;
employ somebody, be a rustler.
Remember that every dollar invested
in permanent improvements is bo much
out on interest.
Be courteous to strangers that come
among you, so that they may go away,
with good impressions.
Always cheer on the men who go in
for improvements; your portion of the
cost will be nothing only what is just.
Don't kick at any proposed improve'
ment because it is not at your own door,
or for fear your taxes will be raised

Doubling the Preacher’s Power.
A. McLonn.
Doubling one man’s power is the
same as employing two men. Any
church can do it. It can be done by
making it a matter of conscience to at
tend all the public services. Empty
pews take the heart out of the speaker,
if those whose business and duty it is
to be at the BerviceB are conspicuously
absent, his power is reduced one-half.
It may be that members are weary or
troubled or care-worn. It is always
easy to find a plausible excuse for re
maining away. Ofie should not harbor
such an excuse for an hour. He should
go without respect to his feelings. It
will do him ten times aB much good to
go as to stay away. The exertion ap
proaches heroism and brings its reward.
In many churches the second service is
a problem. The fault*is wholly with
the membership. If they will make it
a point to turn out and assist with their
presence there will be no problem.
Sometimes influential members remain
home Sunday evening and then con
demn the minister because he does not
fill the house, and work for his dismis
sal. If they went and helped to attract
the outside community there would be
no lack of auditors and no need of a
change of ministers. There are few
WBys in which a people can do so much
to multiply their preacher’s usefulness
as by standing by him in all the ser
vices. Without their presence and co
operation he is a shorn Samson. Chris
tian people should not only come to
church, but come prepared to enter into
the spirit of the services. They Bhould
not come after having saturated them-
bcIvcb with the Suhday paper. Rather
should they come after a season of
prayer and communion with God.
What Children Need Now.
In spite of the best care mothers can
give them this weather bring sickness
to many children. Mrs. T. Neureuer,
Eau Claire, Wis.. writes; “Foley’s
Honey and Tar cured my boy of a se
vere attack of croup after other reme
dies had failed. It is a wonderful rem
edy for coughs, colds, croup and Whoop
ing cough. ,r It stopB lagrippe coughs.

medical college, "jf a person in good
health, but who imagined himself Blck,

“I,” said a student, "would give him
something to make him Bick, and then
administer an antidote.”’
“Don't waste any more time here,
young man,” said the teacher, "but be
gin practice at once.”

Let the Girls Romp.
Many mothers have a dread of romps,
so they lecture the girls daily on the
proprieties and exbort them to be little
ladles. They like to see them as quiet
and gentle and prim as possible. The
lot of such children is pitiable, for they
are deprived of the fun and frolic which
they are entitled to. Children—boys and
girls—must have exercise to keep them
healthy. Deprive them of it, and they
will fade away like flowers without
sunshine. Running, racing, skipping,
climbing —these are the things that
strengthen the muscles, expand the
chest, and build up the nerveB. Gym
nastics taken in the nursery will not
invigorate the system like a good romp
in the open »lr. Mothers, therefore,
who counsel their little girls to play
quietly make a mistake. Better the
laughing, rosy-cheeked, romping girl,
than a pale, lily-faced one who iB called
! ‘every Inch a lady. ” The latter rarely
breaks things, or tears her dress, or
tires her mother’s patience as the for
mer doeB; but, after all, what does the
tearing and breaking amount to?

When Lloyd-George waB a young
country solicitor In WaleB, he was rid
ing borne in bis dogcart one day, and
came upon a little Welsh girl trudging
along so wearily that he offered her a
ride. She accepted silently and all the
way along, although tbe future states
man tried to engage her in conversation,
he could not get her to say anything
more than “Yea” or "No.”
Some days afterward the little girl’s
mother happened to meet Mr. Loyd-
George, and said to him smilingly, “Do
you remember my little girl riding with
you the other day? Well, when Bhe
got home she said, ‘Mamma, I rode
from school with Mr. Lloyd-George,
the lawyer, and be kept talking to me,
and I didn’t know whatever to- do, for
you know Mr. Lloyd-George, tbe law
yer, charges you whenever you talk
with him, and I hadn’t any money!’ ”
