it with aayng that he had told all he

i .1 Tli" murderer spent the last night
of liii life quietly and without showing
.in anxiety whatever regarding his
at'i" "i hlng end. He paced up and
l"ii the corridor In front of his cell
until midnight, when he retired and
iu snon In a deep sleep. At 5 o'clock
In thf morning he was awakened, and
preparations for the execution were foe

rhureh were performed and the usual
bi i akfaat was served, after which the
condemned man spent an hour chat
ting iheerliy with those who surround
ed hmi To Frank Wachter, a member
of the jail board, who visited him
about half an hour before the march to
the villous li Ban, Monahan said:
"(iond-by, but I'll see you outside
when I ko to the scaffold. I'll wrestle
with you on the scaffold, and I'll bet
I can throw you. If I don't have time
on the scaffold I'll wrestle with you on
the green fields beyond."
This was said In a jolly air, as If
Monahan were Just going down the
bay for a picnic.
Monahan waB a confirmed drunkard
and vagabond, who lived on the pro
c eeils of his wife's labor and spent
mueh of his time In Jail serving short
time sentences for petty offenses. The
couple had several grown children, but
none of them lived nt homo, and Mrs.
Monahan earned a living for both at
he washtub. Quarrels were frequent,
and on the day of the murder Monahan
appeared after two days' absence from

Put the Cli Id at Once on Diet of
Lactatcd Foot.
With eholem infantum tsglngns it Ts Hunt
and West this summer, It is npiHilliug to any
on who understand the subject, to see tho
carele sues of parents and nurses In tho mat
ter of infant feeding.
It is not enough to merely select a puro
nourishing food. It must he acceptable to tho
delicate, weakened stomach of the little one
high teuiperaturo makes It dllllcult for young
children to digest only the most easily asslmi-
Inblo food without Irritating their intestines
into dlarrbcBa food must lie taken in sufll-
dent quantities and with relish to keep tho
child strong, well and growing.
tactated food Is made with the oxpress in-
tention of forming a reliable infant food and
a perfect substitute, for healthy mother's
milk. An infant likes it. Fretful, peevish
babies grow strong, ruddy and healthy on it.
It has the unusual "virtue, of inducing deli
cate babies to take an abundanco of nourish
ment when other foods disagree with them,
and when retarded growth, feebleness and
intestinal irritatiou threaten tho poorly-fed
child.
Mothers and nurses who havo used lactatcd
food all agrco that it host supplies the ma
terials for baby's rapid growth and develop
ment. It is prepared with a regard to purity,
cleanliness and freedom from any possible
source of contagion that merits all the praho
that has been so lavishly bestowed upon it hy
parents and physicians.
Lactatcd food has tided thousands of babies
through tho hot, sickly days. It should ho
iu tho hands of every parent.
The ill effects of tho intense. August heat
are fur-rcachiug. Jlany little ones droop anil
pine, without appetite and strength. Their
usual diet falls to nourish, or more often Is
wholly rejected. In this weakened condition
the mistake of overfeed ing, that anxious par
ents too often fall into. Instead of nourishing
the littlo ones, only brings on diarrhica.
And diarrhn3.i, with the temperature high
up, results iu cholera infantum.
Tho most carefully, intelligently guarded
children aro those fed on lactatcd food,
llabios, when weaning, do not throw it up.
Puny onos show n decided and immediate
gain. Their steady, healthy growth is due
to this rich nutritive that is relished evou iu
tho hottest weather.
Lactatcd food brings sound sleep. It
checks all wasting disorders during hot
weather, livery year lactatcd food saves
thousands of lives.
A baby's duty is to keep strong and well.
The paicnts' duty Is to give the iufaut tho
best food in the world that is lactatcd food.

and bad been prominent in literary aud
musical circles among tho Wolsh people,
frequently being called upon because of his
great natural wit and ability to conduct
Eisteddfods, and. If we mistake not, appeared
iu that capacity iu Shenandoah. He ranked
h ifh among tho pulpit orators of his de
nomination and doservedly so, as his success
iu building up the membership of tho several
congiegatlous lie served testified. Ho was,
probably, as well known by his pseudonym,
Ednyfed, by his countrymen ns hy his proper
name. Failing health compellod htm to
relinquish his ministerial duties and he re
turned to the land of his fathers iu tho hope
that chauge of air might benefit him, hut In
this ho was disappointed as death came in
stead and ho died among his kindred in the
home of ills youth, after spending tho greater
part .of his life In the United States with
great credit to himself and benefit to his
