Samuel Gorupers, labor leader, whose support of the Democratic national ticket has aroused some criticism from trades unionists, is a cigar maker by trade. Aa president of the American Federation of Labor and vice presi dent of the National Civic federation he occupies a prominent place in the world of organized labor. Jur. Gompers Is a native of London, England, and is fifty-eight years old. At the age of thirteen he came to this country and worked at the trade until Le was thirty-seven. Since then he has been a writer on labor topics, an ngitator and organizer of unions. When only fourteen he helped organize th lgarmakers' International union, which he later served as secretary and president. In 1SS1 he was Instrumental in or Kamziug the American Federation of SAMUEL GOMPERS, Labor and has been president of that body since its beginning with the ex ception of one term. It is a salaried office. ' Mr. Gompors is a voluminous and in defatigable writer. He is constantly appearing in the newspapers, and much of the American Federationist is writ ten by his hand. Episcopal Wit. "Our Bishop Burgess," said a Gar den City man, "Is one of the few American clergymen who, being grad uates of the famous University of Ox ford, are entitled to wear the Oxford hood. "At a certain service another bishop, also an Oxford man, nodded toward the officiating clergyman and whisper ed excitedly to Bishop Burgess: " Why, look! lie has got an Oxford hood on.' " 'So he has,' said Bishop Burgess. "'But he is not entitled to It. He has no Oxford decree,' exclaimed the first bishop. 'Why, the man Is wear ing a lie on his back." '"Hush," said Bishop Burgess. 'Don't call it a lie. Call it a false hood.' "Cleveland Leader. A Tarkingtcn Epigram. "Booth Tarkington at a theatrical supper spoke rather well," said a play wright, "on marriage. "One remark iu his speech struck me particularly by its epigrammatic truth. It w-.is this: " 'Before she marries him a girl's opinion of n young man is the same as his mother's; after marriage she comes round rather to hi3 father's view.' " The Prohibition Leader. , Eugene Wilder Chafln of Chicago, candidate of the Prohibition party for president of the United States, is a great campaigner and has been on the lecture platform for thirty years. For the past eleven years he has given practically his entire time to the Prohi bition reform. A native of Wisconsin, Mr. Chafin's youth was spent on a farm. His father died when he was twelve years EUOjEKS W. CilAFIN. old, leaving thirteen children, he being the eldest at homo. He ran the farm for his mother aud eight brothers and Bisters. until he was of ago. Since his fourteenth birthday he has been a member of the Good Templars and was grand chief templar of Wisconsin for four years. He also hold a similar position in Illinois for one year. Seven yenrs ago he left a lucrative law practice in Wisconsin. and went to Chicago at a salary of $1,300 to take charge of the Washingtonian home. During his management he came in contact with 3,000 drunkards, many of whom he reformed. Mr. . Chafin re ceived a -flattering vote wT hen he ran for governor of Illinois a few years ago. top to? sev! Mid keftlal&g ' P-' A WALKING GALLOWS The Horrible Deeds of Lieutenant Hepenstali. HANGED MEN FROM HIS NECK This Handsome but Brutal Giant of the Wicklow Militia Was the Most Cold Blooded and Eccentric Execu tioner That Has Ever Existed. Among the examples and records of British tyranny during the terrible year 179S there Is none more extraor dinary, according to a -writer In an English magazine, than that of Lieu tenant Edward v Hepenstali, known by thi nickname of "the walking gal lows," for such he certainly was, lit erally and practically. 1 ; ' " This notorious individual, who had been brought up as an apothecary in Dublin, obtained a commission In the Wicklow militia, in which he attained to the rank of lieutenant In 1705. He was a man of splendid physique, about six feet two inches In height and Btrong and broad in proportion. Kef er ring to this handsome but brutal giant. Sir Jonah Barrington In his memoirs states: "I knew him well and from his coun tenance should never have suspected him of cruelty, but so cold blooded and eccentric an executioner of the human race never yet existed." At the outbreak of the sanguinary re bellion, when the common : law was Buspenueu ana tne stern martial va riety flourished in its stead, Lieutenant Hepenstali hit upon the expedient of hanging on his own back persons whose physiognomies he considered characteristic of seditious tenets. At the present day the story seems almost incredible, but it is a notorious fact. revealed by the journalism of the pe riod, that when rebels,- either suspected or caught red handed, were brought be fore him Hepenstali would order the cord of a drum to be taken on and men. rigging up a running noose, would proceed to hang each in turn across his athletic shoulders until the victims had been slowly strangled to death, after which he would throw down his load and take up another. The "walking gallows" was clearly both a new and simple plan and a mono or execution not nearly so tedious or painful ns a Tyburn or Old Bailey hanging. It answered his majesty's service as well as two posts and a crowbar. When a rope was not at hand Hcpenstall's own silk cravat. being softer than an ordinary halter, became a merciful substitute. In pursuance of these benevolent in tentions the lieutenant would frequent ly administer an anaesthetic to his trembling victim in other words, he would first knock him silly with a blow. His garters then did the duty as handcufts, and the cravat would be slipped over the condemned man's neck.- Whenever he had an unusually pow erful victim to do with, Hepenstali took a pride In showing his own strength. With a dexterous lunge of his body the lieutenant used to draw up the poor devil's head as high as hi3 own and then, when both were check by Jowl, begin to trot about with his burden like a jolting cart horse until the rebel had no further solicitude about sublunary affairs. It was after one of these trotting executions, which had taken place In the barrack yar adjoining Stephen's green, that Hep penstall acquired the surname of "the walking gallows." He -was Invested with it by the gallery of Crow Street theater, Dublin. At the trial of a rebel in that city the lieutenant, undergoing cross exam ination, admitted the aforementioned details of his method of hanging, and Lord Norbury, the presiding judge, warmly complimented him on his loy alty and assured him that he had been guilty of no act which was not natural to a zealous, loyal and efficient officer. Lieutenant Hepenstali, however, did not long survive his hideous practice, lie died In 1S0I. Owing to the odium in which he was universally held, the authorities rrrauged that his funeral should take place secretly, while a Dublin wit suggested that his tomb stone would be suitably inscribed by the following epitaph: Here lie the bones of Hepenstali. Judge, Jury, sallows, rope and all. A Slight Differenc The globe trotter was telling about the wonders of India. "The scenery in sorae portions of the country," he said, with enthusiasm, "is incomparable. Far, far away, the mountains pile up toward the sky, and stretching off to them are beautiful valleys, while, close at hand you can get in sight of a man eating tiger" "I beg your pardon," Interrupted an eager listener, "but did you say inside of a man eating tiger or In sight of one?" New York Tress. ' All Bound. ; A citizen of culture and poetic taste went to a public library and asked for Shelley's "Prometheus Unbound." He was rather taken aback when the librarian replied, with great hauteur: "We don't keep any unbound books in this library." Missed It. The prodigal son wrote the old man as follows: "I got religion the other day. Send me $10." But the old man replied: "Iteliglon Is free. Yon got the wrong kind." The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express. Bacon. PII P get Immediate relief from 2iw Uu loop's Hgfc Ofetsscsl CLEAN UP THE BACKYARD. "Cleanliness is Next to Godliness" Says the Old Adage. Be ye also ready, for at such an hour as ye think not, you wil be called on to show - those in spectors around, that our grand and glorious President" is send ing to all farms, to get the exact truth of how we live, and move, and have our being from a hy gienic stand point, as a financial one. Can we fail to look with un paralleled astonishment on the fact that the present incumbent of our national Capitol condes cends to think of the welfare of the lowly tillers of the soil? Sure ly he must be an uncommon man to stoop from his exalted posi tions to help poor ignorant (?) farmers to a better way of living. Axe to grind? Why how suspici ous, and uncnaricabie one must be to think of that when he thought he had hidden it so se curely! It is perfectly genuine just like everything he ever did right along in line with his expressed desire for a third term so that he could wipe out Wall street and the trusts the two things he had been fostering so carefully for six years. But we are drifting from the subject. These men will have to dine or sup with each of us, to inspect the food. Now what a fine re port they will have to carry back if our ladies get on their mettle? The "Grand Mogul" would have to postpone his lion hunt, and come down to sample Southern cooking. - Before the inspection day, we had best eliminate every malaria breeding weed, bury every par ticle of refuse vegetables, and be sure that not a drop of water is thrown out in the backyard. Every germ-laden carpet must be removed and the floors scrub- J bed to immaculate whiteness, and all sleeping apartments aired to the limit. You need not move the well till after they come or you might have to move it again. If you havn't got a dozen smal children why you will have to borrow. Any kind will do just so tney are tne same age, ana size. We are sorry for the good man it will put him in such a haste If there is a single spot in the barnyard (which according to the new health laws, must be a good half mile from everywhere in which a germ could hide his name will be cast out as evil, and he will have to hunt for a lodging place in some vast wilderness to hide his disgraced head from an outraged public. ' JNow Kooseveit s clear () com mon people can read him like an open book. We can almost see the wink with which he favored his regulars" when he issued this mandate, but we cannot do a better thing than, to pay strict attention to small things that always make, or mar the health of any family. Of course many germ theories that are widely promulgated are the worse kind of "bosh," but the fact will ever remain that careless house-keep ing, impure air, and water, and the eating of food, improper in quality and quantity, is reponsi ble for all the ill health that af flicts mankind. It makes no difference who graces or Disgraces rules or Misrules in the White House, the farmer has more power over his own destiny than any other class under the sun. The very "iso lations" that bring him so much sympathy from those who are herded like brutes, is one of his best possessions, for he does not suffer from other peoples careless way of living. Cleanliness is4 next to godliness, "and it is an in- falible rule that one cannot have a clean heart or life that has an unclean person. Dirt and grace will not fraternize. Any one can keep clean, and one is selling his birthright for less than nothing not to bend every energy to have pure surroundings. Ruth Fletcher. De Witt's Carbolized Witch Hazel Salve recommended as the best thing to use for piles. It is, of conrs, good for anything where a salve is needed.

Flowers By the Wayside. A young girl visiting the coun try was following the farmer's wife along a winding, half over grown path amid a winding tan gle of wild flowers. The young visitor exclaimed at their variety and beauty. I mean to gather alt I can carry when we come back and have a little more time, " she said. Better pick them now, if you want them," said the elder woman. "It isn't likely we'll come back this way." It was one of those simple, homely in cidents that sometimes seem to epitomize life.' We must pick now, if we want them at all, the flowers that God scatters along our way. Tne pleasant nours, he dear friendships, the offered confidences, the happy gather ings ail the brightness and blessiDgs that we so often push aside, but mean to find leisure to enjoy sometime we must take hem day by day as they come, or we shall lose them altogether; we can never turn back to find them. Selected. Art Moving West. Referring to the artistic de velopment in the United States, the Commissioner of Fine Arts for France to the St. Louis Ex position summed up the outlook in the prophecy that it was to the heart of our country that the future must turn for the mucl discussed national art. The deductions made by this distinguished visitor from abroad it would seem, even now, are be ing exemplified to a pronounced degree. The trend of to-day is a shifting of the center of really earnest and serious artistic en deavor from th3 Atlantic. to the great central plain. This evinced in every department of the fine arts. Among the crafts, the Eastern man will acknowledge the truth of this. In architecture however, the exponent will not always be so generous, but he will at least admit curiosity, and sometimes interest, concerning achievement in the West. The sturdy Western type, full of en At A ergy, iranKiy entnusiastic, im patient of restraint, glories in his self-appointed freedom and de lights in identifying himself and bis expression with his surround- - i yi tt i ings. Mauae unver, in uncie Remus's The Home Magazine for September. A Purpose in Life. No boy can stay a boy or a youth or young man; he must prepare for a mature manhood. No girl can remain a girl or a young lady; she will have to be a mature woman after awhile. Some day each boy and girl must take up his or her share of the work of the world, and either succeed or fail in it. Beneath fun and play each of us must have a purpose in life, and get ready for useful living. Are we doing this, or are we forgetting it? The Youth's Evangelist. A Sure-enough Enocker. J. O.

Lee, for which the State of Virginia will ask a place in the Memorial Hall of the Capitol at Washington, ' has been completed. In the near future Congress will be. asked to accept the gift, and the strong hope and belief is that no individ ual or organization in the whole length or breadth of the North will so much as murmur against the intention to honor the mem-; ory of the great Confederate soldier. If it had been said in the days immediately following the Civil -War that in time a memorial to Lee would have a place of honor in the nation's Ha nit.nl tb would have been few to admit that such a thing was - possible. Time has brought its changes. Robert E. Lee is honored in the North only to a degree less than he is honored in the South. ' He was an American who fought as he thought, and he was one of the greatest soldiers who ever went to battle. In no other, country on earth than this is it likely the govern ment would consent to admit in to the halls of its Capitol a memo rial of a man who had fought against its unity as a nation. The fact that it is possible here is a tribute to the American spirit. Lee will have a rdnpo biodrio Washington, another son of Vir ginia, in the country's hall of fame, and Americans are glad of it. Chicago Post. The Story You Hear. If you hear an unpleasant story about an acquaintance, perhaps you will not feel like keeping it true. The chances are that you will pass it along, imagining hat you have freed yourself from all responsibility if you were told,-;' and that personally you know nothing about the matter. Have you ever noticed how soon all heselittlequalifications are drop ped out of a storj-? Every "per haps" and "maybe"islost by the second telling. "I thought" soon becomes "I saw, "and somebody's careless guess is accepted as .his positive statement. Since this is true, you cannot escape any responsibility by saying that you heard a certain report, but are not positive as to its truth. The results of repeating it are likely to be just as bad as if you pledg ed your honor for its correctness in every point. When you hear a doubtful story which attacks somebody's cha acter, set your lips together and resolve that no word of this shall pass them. If true it will be verified only too soon. If false you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have not help ed to harm a brother or sister by lending the weight of your in fluence to a lie. Written for The Inland Printer. Using Our Reputations. Reputation has its uses as a stimulus. It is not of nearly so much account as character, to be sure; for our reputation is only what people think we are, while our character is what we are. But there is one way by which we can make of our reputations and we all have more than one valuable helpers. A shrewdly thoughtful business man has told how in this advice: "Be what your friends think you are; avoid being what your enemies say you are." There is a sure way to justify our friends and to con found our enemies and nobody gets hurt by it. Sunday School Times. -A Paying Invtstmont.
