VINDICATE nHE law.

II It can be proved that the men ar
rested for the brutal assault on West
Eighth street were the perpetrators of
the cowardly deed it would be placing
a premium upon crime for the Munic-
ipal Court to fail to visit upon them
the full penalty Of the law. When four
men attack a single man upon a public
thoroughfare and beat and kick him
until he is in an unconscious and al
most unrecognizalble condition, and
then follow up such murderous
assault with one equally brutal and
cowardly upon am old man who comes
to the rescue OF his son-in-law, it is
the bounden duty OF the court to make
such an example of them that it will
be long time before anything Of the
kind is repeated in this community.
It does not matter who they are, OF
what they are. 1t makes no difference
who their parents are, or how respect
able they are. That does not enter into
the merits of the case in any way. The
fact remains that Mr.. Fisher, a citi-
q
was assaulted on the street, and we'll
nigh murdered. S. J. Butler, an aged
citizen Of our own city, endeavored
to interfere and was struck down like
an OK within a few yards of his door
step. Those who know the two men
assaulted are convinced that they were
not the aggressors. There is no line of
argument which can be advanced to
justify four men in so horribly mall
treating a young man and his would
be rescuer, even II he were the aggres-
For, which is emphatically denied
Someone did this cowardly and blood
thirsty crime, and il the four men ar.
rested are not those who did #, the
police should bestir themselves and
find those who are guilty. II is a pity
that the whipping-post is not included
in the penalty for a crime which has
raised such a cry Of Indignation from
one end Of the city to the other.

HEART PHOTO CASE.
There is No Christmas Gift Like the
Hom e. Made One.


Home Made One.
If deft fingers are guided by common
sense, to those we love there is no Christ
mas gift like the homemade one. But
let her who is about to plan her Christ
mas presents beware Of the inappropri-
ate gift. Love never distributes from q
grab bag. Just because you know how
to make the most beautiful Of mufflers,
Dc not be tempted to send one as a Christ
mas gift to a bedridden aunt. Also re-
train from sending a pair of mittens to
a nephew in Florida
For the woman who can spare but
little money for Christmas presents, here
is a suggestion which may help her in
solving the Christmas problem.
A series of heart-shaped picture frames
which can be made easily at home, would
delight any girl on Christmas morning.
The frames may vary in number and are
all made of white water-color paper cut
in the shape of a heart with pasteboard
for the back. The hearts are carefully
cut out in the center to show the photo
graph. Each heart bears Il different in
scription, and if the giver is fortunately
artistic it may be painted to illustrate the
inscription. The hearts are lettered in
the following fashion: My Summer
Man, My Winter Man, My Harvard
Man, My Yale Man, The Man Whom l
Adore, The Man That's Mine No More.
Each heart must, of course, contain the
photograph for which it is intended. The
frames are connected one with the other
by narrow ribbons running through tiny
Sits cut in the sides Of the hearts The
ribbons between the hearts must be long
enough to allow the hearts, when folded
up, to appear as one. The ribbons after
passing through the heart at the top tie
in bow. This same series of picture
frames also makes an appropriate pres
ent for a man, changing the lettering
as follows: My Summer Girl, My Win
ter Girl, My Literary Girl. The Girl
Whom l Adore The Girl That's Mine
no More. These frames are quite as ar
tistic made of linen, stiffened with card
board and embroidered as in the water

keep enough in reserve to use on the Ger
