The Inconvenience and annoyance re

Gridy, the murderer, who was execu

this brief conversation on the da be

"Look here," said be. I want to get out 1
of this; I want tu go on the scaffold. I
told my father and sister to the. other dny-
Tbey don't want me to die; but every time
I see them I feel more like it. They know
and say that people will oail them Grady's
father and sister, but 1 can't help that
now." 1
'Nobody to blame but yourself have
yon!"
'Yes, fir, another; a friend at times, and
again an enorny. ' I'll tell you frankly how

did the deed, nor can I deny It because

A farmer, who wished to Invest the ac

securities, went to a btokers ftlce to obtain
treasury notes. , The clerk inquired:
"What denomination will yon have I hem,

farmer, after a little deliberation, replied!;
"Well yon may give roe part in Old

not.9I it 1 the latter tbe undertaker baa

tbat a church, now in course of construction

is to be furuJfhed. like a modern druwlng

Beneath this room will be situated the

tbe conveniences, forgetting up "big din

Keoyon's New Double Acting Oil Pump
is acknowledged to lie the best pump now
in use. One ol Its leading lea 1 11 res is that
it not only proilucea a Cunt nuous (low ot

sustain, a Constant aed powerlul suction,
by means ol wbich the seams nr. Veins of t!.e
well are In a great measure t'loared of para
line and mher ol structi ons; and the oil In
tbe veins ia drawn towards Him wel'. It
bas been ascertained by actual lest thai tlie
use nf thjs pump causes a gradually Increas
ing flow ot oil. It Is Well known by oil
I'pentture that tins laiprovement is of ureal
ralue. and one that has been lonu soiijthi
for. T' e abl -it' rocchinics of our j'juuiry
have, for years - If en at work trying lo find
