HANGING A GUERRILLA,

He Accepted His Fate Without a Word or a Toar.

A shot had been ‘fired at us as we rode

along the highway in column of fours,

| and a trooper reeled and pitched from

his saddle, shot through the heart. The shot was fired by a guerrilla hidden in a corufield, and we got the order to throw down the fence and ride through the field. Haqwas captured at the end of it, just as he was about to gain the woods, He was a man 50 years old, grim and grizzly, and with eyes of defi- ance.

‘‘Waal, what is it?’’ ed of his captors.

‘Do you live about here?’ :

“Ju the cabin down thaxs.’”? Se »

**Got family? r’ ay oF:

as 7 es.

‘‘Want to bid ’em goodby?””

**T reckon. Y

“Come along.”’

The cabin was reached in five min- ntes. A gray haired woman and a girl of 12 » and daughter—stool in the open decor.

“What is it, Jim?’’ ask the man stood before her.

‘‘Gwine to kill me, I reckon,”’’ he re- plied.

‘‘What fur?’’

‘‘For killin one of them.’*

**Hu! Goodby, Jim!’’

“Goodby, daddy!’’ from tie girl.

“Goodby! r

No handshakes, no tears, no senti- ment, no pleading. Ten rods below the house was a large shade tree. T'wo or three halters were knotted together, the rope thrown over a limb, a noose slip- ped over the man’s head, and next mo- ment he was dangling clear of the ground. He had no excuses, made no plea, asked no mercy. He went to his death with the stoicism of an Indian. VYife and daughter stood in the doorway and saw all, but there were no tears, no outburst. As we were ready to ride away the woman came slowly down the spot, looked at the body for half a mo- ment, and then turned to ask:

‘*Is Jim dead?’’

‘*Yes,’’ answered the captain.

‘*Hu!’’ And she walked slowly back to the house and entered it, and shut the door, and we rode ou and left the corpse hanging.—Detroit Free Press,

THE SULTAN’S HEIR.

He Is His Eldest Brother, Who Is Rarely Seen In Public.

The sultan’s heir is not his eldest son, but his eldest brother, according to the London Echo. The eldest male succeeds, Such is the law of Islam and the fruitful source of dynastic murders in almost every reign since the Turks became a power. The sultan has four brothers—not one only, as was lately alleged. This eldest brother is Rechad Effendi—that is to say, he is eldest aft- er the ex-sultan, Murad V, who, being insane, is not counted. The third broth- er is Waredin, and the fourth Suliman, The sultan’s eldest son, Prince Selim, has no earthly chance of succeeding his father. He has too niany uncles and uncle’s sons for that. But Prince Selim is lucky, if he knows it, for he is not ‘*dangerous.’’ He lives a life of freedom, whereas the heir is, by the custom of the Ottomans, a kind of life prisoner.

Rechad Effendi is rarely seen. Every time he drives out he is escorted by a troop, less by way of an escort than as a guard. The few who do know him like him, for he is said to be a cour- teous, humane, well informed man, ac- quainted with current politics and keen- ly interested in them. He isa good farmer. The pretty palace known as the Tcheragan is his residence. Of course Rechad's visitors are searched before they are admitted and when they are leaving by the sultan’s officials. Dur- ing times of trouble in Armenia, Con- stantinople and Crete Rechad is more narrowly watched than ever, for the sultan and his clique know that Rechad is popular. Unlike the sultan, Rechad is one of the most handsome men in Con- stantinople.

An Extraordinary Migration.

One of the greatest mysteries to scien- tists, one for which there seems to be no reasonable explanation, is that con- cerning the migration of the lemming, or Norway rat. Instead of taking place once a year these migrations occur only once in every 11 years. When the time comes for the exodus, the little animals journey westward from Scandinavia, allowing nothing to stop their move- meuts, which virtually amount to a headlong flight. They swim the lakes and rivers and climb the highest moun- tains in incalculable numbers, devastat- ing the whole country through which they travel. Naturalists attribute the movement to some inherited memory of a flight to escape an expected cataclysm, but this seems somewhat farfetched.— Pittsburg Dispatch.

Influence,

No human being can come into the world without increasing or diminish- ing the sum total of human happiness, not only of the present, but of every subsequent age of humanity. No one ean detach himself from this connec- tion. There is no sequestered spot in the universe, no dark aiche along the disk of nonexistence to which he can retreat from his relations to others, where he can withdraw the influence of his existence upon the moral destiny of the world. Everywhere he will have companions who will be better or worse for his influence.—New York Ledger.
