Vengeance on Husband Beaters,
From the Kansas City Journal.

Little do we know Of the suffering and
heartache that Is hidden behind pride in
many a family. Once in a while in the d.
vorce courts we are given a glimpse of
these things. At Coffeyville, for example.
J. II. Cain has filed suit for divorce, aEeg-
ing cruelty against his spouse In his ne
tition he tells OF how his wife used to be-
come enraged and swear at him and then
strike him with her brutal fists Patiently
he bore with these bursts of temper, hop
Ing against hope that she would do better in
the future. but the outbreaks became more
frequent. the blows fell oftener with greater
f1erceness, his tears and patience grew less
effective. and at last he fed in terror and
took refuge in the home of his parents: Pc
titions like that of Mr.. Cain are calculated
to steel the heart against all feelings OF
mercy. We may talk of the law taking its
.ourse. but 1t seems at times as though
nothing but summary mob vengeance will
meet the case OF these husband beaters who
are all too plentiful =

TWO SAILORS DROWNED.
Steam Barge Houghten Sinks at Dock
in Detroit

DETROIT, September 9.-The steam barge
H. Houghten, owned in this city. sank at
her dock at the foot of Dubois street early
today. Two of the crew were drowned in
their berths Their names:
VIM. Daniel, aged sixteen, no home.
Edward Close, aged eighteen, Harbor
Beach, Mich.
The Houghten arrived last night from
Kelley's Island in Lake Erie with a load Of
crushed stone. 1t is thought that the cargo
of crushed stone absorbed so much water
during the heavy rain last night that the
weight of the water caused the vessel to
careen and finally tip and sink.
The Houghten IS owned by Capt. Degg
and Henry Houshten of this city. Capt
Degg was aboardsshe barge last night, but
managed tos scramble ashore before she
sank. ..-

"RoUNDHOUSE" YOUNG MEN.
Many Like just Completed Engine,
Waiting for Some One to Come
and Start Them.

There are great many young men
in this country who are like engines,
just completed, standing in the round
house, all ready to go out on the track,
but waiting to be started They have
finished their education, as far as the
schools are concerned; they have their
college diplomas; they are polished
and ready for the run, but somehow
they never get out on the main line.
They ought to be busy pulling trains
some of them, freight trains; some of
them, local passenger trains; and
still others, lightning expresses; but
they do not move, says Success.
An engine may be wonderful piece
of work to look at, but, if it does not
fly along the track, and take people
or goods to their destination, what
is it good for? Of what use are educa-
tfon and college diplomas to these
"roundhouse" young men? Of what
possible service can they be to the
world if they never get started on the
track? How many of them do we see
lounging around clubs, or in drawing
rooms chatting with society women
dawdling, listless nonentities, admir-
ing themselves for their completeness.
but never doing anything. never pull
ing a train of cars! Their lives are
meaningless, and some of them are
worse than useless because they are
obstructing the way of the engines
which are putting steam, waiting to
pull train if the track were ONLY
clear. They have been foisted into
positions through pulls" and oc-
cupy. as mere fgureh eads, the places
which worthy young men are waiting
to fill efficiently.
These engines exist merely for
themselves. They have nothing for
the world; they do not wish to con-
tribute to its work; they would feel
insulted if asked to go out on the
track and pull loads. But, round
house" young men. do not forget that.
the moment man stops growing, ne
begins to decay. There is no standing
still in this world-one must make up
his mind either to progress or to
retrogade.
