When the practice OF lynching was
begun, it was said that lynching would
be inflicted, but for one crime, but the
actual facts show that so true is it that
lawlessness breeds IswIessness, that
more people are now Iynched each year
for other supposed crimes than for the
crime for which it was begun.
Let Us heed the words of our departed
and beloved Chief, as he lay upon bis
dying bed, referring to the murderer:
II hope he will be treated with fair
ness" II William Mckinley, as he was
offering up his life IN behalf OF the ns-
tion, could be brave enough, thought
fdl and patriotic enough to request
that his assailsnt should be fairly and
honestly tried and punished, surely we
can afford TO heed the lesson, Tbs best
way, it seems TO ne, to show our love
and reference for William Mckinley is
to reach the conclusion in every com
muuity, in every part Of the country,
that the majesty of the law must be up
held at any cost.

LBERT WHITNEY knew that he


"A could not marry. He was a sensi-
bic fellow, on the whole, and realized
that it would be sheer idiocy to ask q
woman to share his hall bedroom.
Yet Albert was in love.
Every Sunday in church he sat op-
posite Miss Gladys Pennington, and
thought of her far more than he did
of the sermon.
Miss Pennington's father was re-
tired carpet manufacturer, with a
tidy fortune, to which Gladys and her
brother James were sole heirs.
Albert was clerk in wholesale
hardware store and, by hard labor,
earned ten dollars a week. OF this
five dollars went to his landlady.
The moth sighed for the star, and
Albert sighed for Miss Pennington.
The moth and the star were hardly
further apart than Albert Whiting
and Gladys Pennington. Albert had
never spoken to her; she barely knew
that he existed.
What, then, were Albert's feelings
when, one day, after church. Mr.. Amos
Pennington pompously approached him
and invited him to dine at his house
on the following Sunday? He blushed
like a girl, and stammered out an ac-
ceptance. Fortunately, Mr.. Penning-
ton did not wait for more. The invi-
tation which meant so much for AL
bert to him meant only the discharge
of rather disagreeable duty which
he admired himself for performing.
He would have been thunderstruck at
refusal. Every year he obtained
from the pastor of the congregation,
of which he had long been senior
deacon, a list of the young men who
were punctual at church and sum-
moned them to dinner. The good
man liked to encourage piety and be-
slowed invitations on these exemplary
young men in precisely the same spir
il with which he awarded prize books
for regular attendance at Sabbath
school"
The following Sunday, when Albert
entered the Pennington drawing
room, punctually at two, he was sur
prised to find already there, besides
the host, his wife, his son and daughs
ter, IS black-coated individuals with
oil of whom he was pretty well ac-
quainted. The assembly reminded
him Of a special meeting of the
young Mems union"
1t fell to Albert to escort Miss Pen
nington in to dinner. He, poor lad,
was overwhelmed with the honor.
He did not know that father Penning
ton, who exercised strict supervi-
sion Of his daughters acquaintance,
had chosen him as the most harmless
and unassuming of the 16 young men.
Albert could think Of absolutely no
remark with which to open conver-
sation. Miss Pennington, entirely at
ease, saw his bushes with more pity
than wonder. She was accustomed
to her fathers duty dinner parties
and rather expected the guests to be
awed- Mr.. Whitney's shyness spoke
In his favor, as tribute Of respect
to her father. Mr.. Pennington had
brought his children up to strict OBJ
servance of the fifth commandment
"It is rather warm for the time Of
year." quoth the young lady, break
ing the ice.
Albert raised his eyes and assent

Pennington said that it was cold

she. 1t was unusual for Gladys to
