A Nebraska Editor Draws the Line.

Volume I, No. 8 of The Moslem World
is upon our table hammering for an
exchange. 1t is published in New York
by Colonel Mohammed Alexander Rus
sell Webb, and has an advertising pat
ronage that insures its financial sue
cess. It's purpose is :" spread the light
of Islam in America" The light of
Islam is what we want, but in spread
ing it don't put it on too thick. We
cannot get to believing in Mohammed
all of a sudden. 1t takes time to sub
due and overcome the prejudices that
were inculcated in earlier years. It
isn't so hard to believe In the divine
mission of the prophet or to observe the
seasons of prayer or give aims when
you have them about you, or to keep
the fast of Ramadan, but when it comes
to the pilgrimage to Mecca that do set
tie it. If it takes trip to the orient
as a condition for securing eternal life
and the possession Of a harem in Hal
lelujahland withdraw from US the
light of Islam" and we'll take the
doctrines of the Christian Bible in

DESCRIBE yoUH rnlGNp.

And Then See Row Well Your Picture WIN
Fit Scores Of Others.
HE was young man and fairly good
looking; smooth face and without
glasses; wore dark suit; was about 6
feet in height and looked like a married
man. Anybody would know him." Such
was the description turned in by young
woman who slipped quietly into the city
editors Office and wanted to advertise
for Chalmers, 1t appeared that Chalmers
had left home, and nobody knew why,
Rnd this young woman had faith that
her recital Of his personal traits would
bring him back. 1t was good example
of the average persons power of descrip.
ton Of a fellow being.
1t is totally inadequatei Though man
be fearfully and wonderfully made,
there seems to be an unaccountable in
ability in nine persons out of every ten
to give creditable word picture of any
one whom they have seen. Because we
understand the looks of person when
we meet them, it never occurs to the
mind that other people do not grasp q
thorough idea of his appearance with a
few passing phrases of description.
Your friend comes in. and you ex-
pound to him that such and such man
has just called for him, but almost in
variably your exposition is a jumbled lot
of phrases which apply to the human
race in general.
The other day when rushed into my
Office room with column story on the
end Of my tongue-or at the tip of my
pen, to be more accurate-I was given
this greeting
"Hellol A man has just been in to see
you"
What did he look like2"
'Oh, he was good looking fellow
not very tall, rather heavy, but not too
much So"
WAS he old or young?"
about 90 or %, should say"
"What color of hair?"
II don't remember now. However, ]
don't think he had mustache."
How dressed?
"Oh, just an ordinary business suit"
Have you ever heard such descrip-
ton? If not, watch yourself next time
you tell of some ones call. You will be
surprised to find that your description
would fit almost any member of the,
human race.
Why is it?
don't know. We read in books that
it's because we don't cultivate the habit
of intelligent observation.
There was once a boy who learned
how to describe what he saw. Every
morning he was sent by his father to
walk rapidly by an elegantly arranged
window, and then afterward to repeat
to him all the things he saw at this one
glance at the panorama and to describe
them. AZ first the lad could remember
but few things that his eye may have
caught in the passing glance, but in time
he could remember almost everything
in show window by merely seeing it

LiQuehcd Gases.

All the liquefied gases except oxygen

CHALLENGED JUDGE AND JURY.

Extraordinary Tactics of n Pennsylvania
Lawyer to Eniiven q Trial.
'I don't believe in trying case in
dull, routine manner, so that it be-
comes question whether the attorneys
or the jurors will go to sleep first"
said 8. g. Boyer of Sunbury, author of
"Boyer's Criminal Digest, to a re-
porter. Mr.. Boyer was defending
George Kuhn in the United States
courts against the charge of imperson-
ating United States officer. The case
proved to be one of the most amusing
that has ever been called. 1t was full
Of funny incidents from the beginning
10 the end.
: Attorney Boyer is a Pennsylvania
Dutchman and has enough of that ac-
cent to make his conversation very at
tractive. The first day of the trial
witness was called who, owing to some
chronic affection of the throat, was not
able to speak in an ordinary tone, but
had either TO speak in whisper or
shout his words. Attorney Boyer didn't
know this, SO when the witness began
to shout his answers Boyer thought he
was doing it to be disrespectful. He
became angry and shouted his questions
in not very polite manner.
In his speech to the jury Boyer said
some very bitter things about the wit
ness, among which was, You saw how
much of a rowdy he was by his actions
on the stand" He was quite taken
aback when United States District At
torncy Hall arose and explained the wit
ness affiiction. In addressing the jury
Attorney Boyer apologized for not being
able to present his case in an eloquent
manner for his soldier client "for, -
he said, 'as my client left part of his
body on the battlefield, so left part Of
my voice at the breakfast table, He
had met with an accident to his teeth.
Attorney Boyer then went on to say:
"In the great book of books it says
that it is better to leave 90 guilty per-
sons go unpunished than to punish one
innocent man. Attorney Hall in
closing answered this in neat man
ner by saying. when the attorney for
the defense quoted about 90 guilty per-
sons from the book of books, / at once
presumed he meant the Bible. l can
now see my mistake, as that sentiment
is not expressed there, for by his book
of books he must have meant Boyer's
Criminal Digest. - This created O
great laugh in the court.
AS Attorney Boyer closed his speech
he did a most uncommon thing. He
turned to the jury and said: If there
is any point you don't understand about
this case you'd like me to explain, just
ask me the question. I'll have to make
the same restriction to you as did to
the supreme court, however. / told the
judges they were at liberty to ask me
questions concerning the case I had
before them and not to be afraid to do
80, as they could not embarrass me, but
to ask only one question at time, as
that was all L could answer This odd
practice created quite little sensation
In tho court. Attorney Boyer, after
abusing a witness IN a terrible manner.
turned and said, If that witness wants
to see me outside after the case is over,
I'll speak to him. The case gave con-
stant amusement by the oddities that
crept III, and Attorney Boyer's natural
manner of addressing the jury seemed
to take, for his client was acquitted

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-1t was supposed
last night that full jury in the Cough

Judge Tuthill excused juror Taylor on
the ground that he made inaccurate
statements when under examination.
A new Juror, however, was soon secured
to take the vacant place.
A story is going the rounds to the
effect that Catholic priest will be put
on the stand who will give the details of
a confession made to him by Patrick
O'Sullivan in prison tallying perfectly
with the story of the conspiracy as al
legged to have been told by Mrs. Foy, as
related in these dispatches few days

Foy's story must not be mentioned be-
fore the jury, on the ground that it is

WAR ON HIGHRlNpGRs.

The san Fraucisco Policc Adopt New
The Greatest Fight Since the Advent of

SAN FRAScIsco, March l6.-Never
since the Chinese first came to the
Pacific coast have the San Francisco
police been so energetic in their efforts
to suppress hiehbindcIs and their
methods rs now.
This action was brought by the fact
that within the last ten days. during
one OF the periodical wars between the
highbinder societies, three Chinese
have been shot and killed on the streets
OF Chinatown and one fatally wounded.
One OF the highbinders was caught and
hanged after committing tho last MUIR
der and none Of the others who have
been arrested on suspicion have been
indicted by the grand jury for murder.
Usually it Is extremely difficult to
convict Chinese OF u crime unless he
is caught in the act, or the crime is wit
messed by tho whites. Chinese wit
nesses are afraid to testify, and friends
OF the accused have no scruples about
committing perjury in his behalf, This
time the police have adopted new
tactics. They realize that if
the highbinder is pulled down from his
pedestal as q bad man in the eyes OF his
countrymen, his power for exacting
tribute will be gone. Accordingly,
the police have been raiding China.
town for tho past few days and
every known highbinder and those
whose looks proclaim them such, is
searched for arms, and il none are
found they are kicked and cutled and
clubbed until they disappear from sight.
Their meeting places are invaded, their
idols and decorations destroyed and
everything known to inventive police is
done to humiliate them.

the police in the efforts to crush the
highbinders.

Columbus, ONO. March lO.-one Of
the most exciting fights that has ever
been witnessed in this city was the
light weight battle between Charles
Vokes, champion OF Kentucky, and
Jack Bolan, champion OF Ohio, at the
Casino tonight under the auspices OF
the franklin county athletic club.
The fight was Vokes from start to
finish. With guard that nothing
could break and great lead he chased
Bolan around the ring for eighteen hot
rounds. AT no time did the fight lag
and the 500 and more people who wit
messed it were kept in breathless excite
menk
In the latter part OF the eighteenth
round Vokes forced Bolan to his corner
and rushed him against the ropes and
over in the newspaper tables, Before
Bolan could regain his guard Vokes
punched him half dozen times in tho
stomach and he fell on the floor, Bolan
failed to come up in time and was
counted out by referee John Duffy, OF
New Orleans.
Denver Ed Smith, tho champion
heavy weight" who was behind Bolun,
claimed foul and the utmost confusion
and excitement reigned. The crowd
rushed forward to tho stage and the
police were almost powerless to keep
them back. Everything was confusion
and disorder and twas scarcely bettered
by the referees announcement that he
would have to consult at least two doc
tors before he gave his decision.
Bolan lay in his corner the picture OF
distress. DR.. John A. Russell, OF Col
umbus, and DR.. NJ. q. Senior, OF Mill
dale, KY, examined Boan and gave
their decisions on clip OF paper to Re-
feree Duffy. Both hold that Bolan was
not ruptured and the referee gave the
fight to Vokes, whose friends went wild.
Vokes was hardly scratched and
walked to the depot and took q train
for Covington. The fight was for 81 900
a eide and purse OF 500.
