H HOME PAPER.
A Little Story from Real Life That Car
ries a Moral.

IHOS al L
When you got married to the bright
est and best girl in the county, where
did you look for that notice that
meant so much to you, and so little to
nearly everybody else? To your home
paper.
When YOU home was invaded by the
blue-eyed girl, or the bouncing baby
boy, to whom did you make it your
business to convey early information as
to the sex, the time and the weight? To
the editor of that home paper.
In after years, when some manly
young fellow takes the blue-eyed girl
to a home of his own, or your once
bouncing boy-now a MANS given a
partnership in the store because he has
just brought home somebody else's
daughter and set up an establishment
of his own, to whom do you personally
exhibit the wedding presents and load
up with the brides cake, and to whom
do you look for that complete descrip-
ton of the interesting event, down to
the last pickle fork and Individual salt,
which. once more, means so much to
you and a very few others, and so little
to anybody else? To this same editor Of
that same home paper.
And when trouble comes in the home.
and you add to your possessions that
desolate bit of reality, the lot in the
cemetery, and somehow the sun doesn't
seem to shine just as it used to, and
there's the flutter of crepe at the door
and the oder of the tuberose in the
front parlor, and the chair that has for
years been beside yours at the ireside
and opposite you at the table is vacant
when all this happens, who makes it
his business to write in tender strain of
the whose life has grown to be a
part of yours, and whose sympathy and
good deeds to others have long been
known and recognized, if ever public
ly announced?
The editor of the home paper; and
he's only too willing to do the little
that he can to help you over the hard
spot in the road.
And all these years you've advertised
in this home paper, and done what you
could to help the editor fight your bat
ties in municipal and county matters,
and encouraged him as he has worked
to build up the town and bring bust
ness to it?
How is it? Have you?-Weekly Jour

t%onishment.
Yes he explained. That's exact

scared of their BARRIERS.
Every time l begin to grow a beard

The barber doesn't. say anything, but

sneering that | can see he thinks / am

sneering without saying anything than
the most biting orator.

drank cocktails.
"At length, in a fighting mood and
redolent of liquor, l braved him in his
lair. Throwing myself in a chair, l bid
him groom me, and be blowed to him,
without giving any back talk. The con
test was short, sharp and decisive. My
drunken violence was useless against
the rapierlike thrust of the calm and
sarcastic barber. l left the place thor
oughly hairless.
"And that's why 1 don't grow a beard,

needn't tell the whole town about it."

Afew days after that Bolter requested
a word in private with Mccormick, our
city editor, and myself.
Its about the beat" he said when
we were closeted together. AT two
o'clock tomorrow morning the house
of the Marstons. on Walnut street, will
be entered by the Slippers The
family is now in New York, where a
son is to be married in a day or two.

got the thing written up to a certain
point, so if you send a man with me
more can be tackled on when it's all
over"
How did you find this out, Mr.. Boil
ter??" asked Mccormick, with a smile
that bespoke big doubt.
For the past month" replied Bolter,
coolly, Il have baen n of their num-
ber."
Mccormick surveyed him sharply.
Il joined them, no matter how, as a
New York crook. Do you remember
the Allston robbery and the Drayton-
Clarke affair? / was in them both, but
things didn't pan out right, SO 1 had to
wait. I've notified the police and
they've promised absolute secrecy, as
the slippers will be a great haul. So
none of the other papers III have it.
That's all"
Mccormick still regarded him very
thoughtfully. Then he said to me:
Darrell, look into this, will you? Take
a carriage and two men and be on hand
when the thing occurs. MI. Bolter,
give MI. Darrell your copy. Get it in
as early as possible, Darrell. That'll
do
The city editor smiled as he looked at
the flushed cheeks and eager eyes OF
the youth, but the smile was kinder
this time.
The affair was managed admirably.
When l stationed my two subordinates,
at one o'clock the next morning, under
trees in Rittenhouse square, facing the
front of the Marston mansion, the
streets were deserted, and a sharp rain

around to a narrow street and took up a
place within a shadow of a doorway op-

that other eyes were watching that gate
and l waited. An interminable time
seemed to drag by before a distant
church clock struck two, and q hand

LYNCHERS SHOT DOWN.
Two Young Men Fire Into Il Mob and Kill
Five Persons.

CORYDoN, Ind, Aug. -Four men
were shot dead at farm house yester-
day by two boys, who are believed to
have killed their father. This last
named crime had caused great indigna
ton in the community and a few days
ago notice was sent to the boys, sons
leave the nelghborhood they would
be iynched. They apparently paid no
heed to the request, and it was deter
mined to enforce the threat. 4 party
of farmers and others assem-
bled and proceeded to the
home of William ard Edward Con-
rad The boys in some way had learned
of their coming and, armed with re-
volvers and shotguns, they quietly
awaited the crowd. The party reached
the house about A. NJ The boys had
secreted themselves outside Of their
house and when the crowd appeared,
fired into them, killing John Timber
lake and William Wiseman. The sud
den and unexpected fusilade caused the
members of the party to scatter
very rapidly, but before they
could get out Of the reach Of the young
murderers, two more of them were
shot and also instantly killed-Edward
Houston and Isaac Howe, while Will
lam May was fatally wounded. No
further effort was made to get at the
young men, but the affair has caused
great excitement and they will probably
be killed before the end is reached.
There were 100 men in the party Of
Would-be lynchers and the dead were
well-known, respected and leading resi-
dents of the town.
