New Method of Lynching n william.

The wife OF Jacob Freimuth, a home
steader in Seward county, Kansas, was
murdered and outraged by Fritz Rupin, u
halt-witted German. lupin had been for
some time enjoying the hospitality OF the
Freimuths. He was homeless and without
friends, and they had taken him in until
he could find work. During the TEN.
porary absence of Mr.. Freimuth, Rupin
overpowered his beneiactor's wife and bru-
tally outraged her person and then killed
her. The posse then set out to scour the
country for the murderer, and found him
secretcd in II small r%avine, several miles
away from the scene OF his crime, near the
Cinnamon river. a fractions and spirited
horse was secured and saddled. One end
OF the longlariat was then fastened around
his neck and the other extremity
was attached to the pommel Of
the saddle. The horse was then started,
and mid the shouting OF the men and
cracks OF revolvcrs and rifles the frightened
animal tore madly away. After a run of
nearly five miles the beast fell exhausted
and the lifeless body OF the murderer was
loosened ~ soon AS tho men came up. The
lariat had drawn SO tight that his head
was almost severed from his body. The
features showed that he had died IL terrible
death. The body was left on the prairie,
uncovered.

Editing With the Scissors.

The above remark is frequently made
in connection with newspapers. and is
too frequently mean as q slur. On the
contrary, under proper circumstances.
it should be regarded as a compliment
of a high character. The same paper
may be ably edited with the pen aud
miserably edited with the scissors. A
mistaken idea prevails that the work of
the latter is mere child's play, a sort Of
hit or miss venture, requiring hardly
any brains and still less Judgement;
that the promiscuous and voluminous
clippings are sent in q batch to tle
foreman, and with that the editors
duty ends and that of the foreman
begins.
Instead of this, the work requires
much care and attention, with a keen
comprehension of the fact that each
days paper has its own needs. The
exchange editor is a pains-taking. con-
sclentious, m%ethodical man, always on
the alert, quick in appreciation, reten-
tive in memory, shrewd in d~iscernment.
He reads closely, culls carefully, omits
and amends, discards and digests, new
or ignoring the fact that variety is a
great essential. There are sentences to
recast. words TO soften, rc~dundancics to
prunc, errors to correct. headings to be
made. credits to be given, seasons TO be
considered, affinities 10 be preserved.
conslstencics to be respected. He knows
whether the matter is fresh or stale.
whether it is appropriate. and whether
he has used it before; he remembers
that he is catering for many tastes; he
makes raids in every direction; he LAYS
the whole newspaper field under con
tribution; he persistently ''boils down."
which with him, is not a process of re-
writing. but a happy faculty of expung.
ing, without destroying sense or con
tinuity.
His genius is exhibited in the depart
ments, the items of which are similar
and c~ohesive-in the suggestive heads
and sub-heads, in the sparkle that is
visible, in the sense of qualification
which the reader derives. No daily
paper can be exclusively original; it
would die of ponderosity. Life is too
short and hence an embargo must be
laid upon the genius of its rivals. A

Amazing EXtrayagance.

The extravaganza of rich Americans
is incredible. Cleopatra dissolving a
pearl in her morning. draught, and Luz
cullus dining on the brains of peacocks
and tongues of nightingales. are faint
suggestions of the luxury of American
millionaires.
About twenty years ago Mr.. Morgan,
a wealthy railroad contractor. married
a school-teacher. In 1876 he died, lcav-
ing her five million dollars in her own
right. y few months ago she died, and
the coming sale of her diamonds, brio
a-brac. and paintings has put gossip on
her tracks. The disclosures are as
founding. She spent 800, 900 for her
collection of orchids, flowers that bid
fair TO revive the tulip mania of Hol-
land. Her conservatory of these ugly
but fashionable plants brought only
$4,000. so that it cost her $50, 900 net
and interest to own them 4 few months.
She has one vase for which she paid
$4,000. 1t is less than a foot high,
and is known as the peach blow vase.
1t was made in 1914 in China, and the
delicate beauty CT its tint has v
been reproduced, and perhaps V
will be. She paid $50, 600 for a single
picture. 81, 1895, 900 for her collection of
$40 paintings. The Tiitanys made her
4 solid silver candlebra at a cost of
S24,0 600, and her bathroom cost $780,
600. She had over 5000 plates, one
set OF which, made at Scvres. cost S.
800 n dozen. One single diamond in
her collection of jewels cost $47, 900.
These figures are staggering. Moth.

Precautions Against Riotins.

New York Special:-The local authorities

The Boycott in Slavery Times.

The London NcWs in an article on the
boycott idea insists thatthe principle OF
the system was born in America and not
in Great Britain. Ireland gave a name
merely, the Ncws contends, to a prac-
ticc that was originated in slavery times
in the United States. This is in an
swer to the charge made by papers in
this country that the idea is un-Ameri.

in vogue in the United States before

more prominent in those days and in

Great Britain.
This may be true, but the NcWS is re.

lation of the fundamental principles OF
the Constitution they were at some
pains to correct the evil. What is now
known as the boycott system has never
succeeded for any great length of time.
Wherever and whenever 1t has been
employed public sentiment and some
thing more violent in the shape of pub
lie prejudice has grown up against those
who practice it. This has been the
uniform rule. and the Trades Assembly
was wise to pronounce against the in.
discriminate use of what has been SO
much abused.
The truth is that the boycott has been
quite as often employed by corporations

Lynchins of Wife Murderer.

George Graham, the wife murderer, was
lynchcd Mt Springfield, Mo, by a mob.
Several men, heavily armed, called the
sheriff to the door, seized and forced him
to give up the keys. Then they went to
the cell and opened the door. Graham
was in his bunk, and was commanded
to get up. He was at first infu-
rate and replied with oaths, but he was
silenccd by the muzzle OF a revolver thrust
in his face. He dressed himself, and when
the rope was placed around his neck broke
down and wept bitterly. He was led out
OF the Jail at the end of the rope, placed
III a spring Wagon, and the procession
moved in a northcrly direction.
1t is claimed that he reasserted his state
mcnt that neither Mrs. Maloy nor Cora
Lee was implicated in the murder. A cloth
was tied over his face, his hands were
bound behind him, the rope was thrown
over a limb OF II tree, and the wife murder
er was run up. Hewas strancled to death,
and at . n. m. the body OF Graham was
hanging where left by the lynchers.

NapoIeon's Faovrite Flower.

\ pamphlet of the year 1915, which the
Temps has recently discovered, gives an
account of how the violet became the em-

He was still waverin9 whether he shonld

The Duke of Bassino tried to point out to
him that the time for withdrawal WAS

on without speaking, trying to divert his

or four years of age, picking flowers and
tying them into bunch " Nv little
