EXECUTION OF MR. CHAMBSRLAINI

EXCITING SCENES ON (EHE SCAFFOLD Jj (The Americana can beat the Britishers all to pieces in newspaper headings, and you may generally gather all that tbe paper oontains by carefully reading the elaborate headlines to the various items of news. But in the old country we have an institution which is far greater than sensational headlines ; we refer to the itinerant newsvendor. The boys of this particular profession are wonderfully 'cute in their adaptationof their "cry" to the particular "wants" of the passer-by. The parson, for instance, is never appealed to with "Special! All the winners I"— that is reserved for more likely patrons. You may not only learn, as in the American headings, all the contents ot the paper from their cries, but may gather a good deal that is not in the paper at all I On U days it is almost pathetio to see a "runn ppealingto a "hard case." 1 "Scene in Parliament — Special!" Ko answer rom the old gent. " Horrible disaster at sea !" No answer. "Jack the Ripper's latest i" Still no answer. A pause, and then, " Ruin of a lady of title. Awful details 1" Still silence. " Gam away 1 Yer ain't human 1" And yet the modest announcements made from time to time have brought Indian Chief Cigarettes into the front rank and their quality will keep them there.
