Readiness In Excuse.

Cook had story illustrative Of readl-
ness in excuse which he used to tell oc-

drawn up for their first battle. They
were on marshy ground, under fire, and
ankle deep in slush. One Of the sol
diers was noticed to be trembling ex-
cessively, and his fear might communi-
cate itself to his comrades. An officer
approached him.
Here, you. what are you trembling

THE MAN WHOSE WIFE is AWAY.

There is Il common belief that the man whose
wife is out of town has hilarious time, details of
which are not to be even limited at in print Moral
lists have exploited this belief. Humorists have
thrived upon it. The public has been forced to ac-
cept it out of respect for its venerable age.
The only man who suspects there is nothing in
it is the man whose wife is ont of town. To him it
is all a joke without humor, sermon without a
point.
When the wife goes the husband may at first
experience an exharating sense of freedom He
will be cone of the boys again, he thinks. He
will return to his old haunts and the cd friends.
But he soon finds that somehow the old haunts
are changed. The old friends mostly missing
and the rest are not the same.
He tells them his wife is out of town and that
he is IN for a weeks good time. They slap him on
the back, wish him great success and-turn away.
The sympathy of interest, that is the soul of
friendship among men, is gone. The names are the
same the faces are the same, but all else differ
emit He finds himself Rip Van Wrinkle come
back among strangers and among old scenes and old
sounds that have become strangely new.
Lonesomely he wanders from one to another
ana finds them the same in their difference.
He goes home and finds the house dark and desc
late He puts himself at with his feet def
antly on the furniture and imagines he is free
man. But the paper or book he pick up is intoler-
ably dull. At last, in despair, he goes to bed
Next night he tries it all over again. There is
nothing else he can do. He knows no places but
the old haunts. He can at least look on.
The "od boy he encounters now and then
stops a moment to ask him if his wife is still gone
and he is having good time, and then--passes on.
The more of his old friends he sees the more he
feels alone. So he goes home and to bed earlier
than before.
This night he dreams that the bonds he had
gladly cast aside were precious strings of Jewels
He awakes to a realization that the whole world has
not changed, but that he has.
He that the sympathies, the interests and
the impulses that were his when he was cone of the
boys" can no more be recalled by him now than
can the years that divide them from him.
He finds it dull business-this being free from
the sympathies, the customs, the attentions, tht
companionshlp that have become so important Il
part of his life
When at last she comes homes again he is at
the station an hour ahead of the train.
And yet, the word persists on accepting it at
settled that this has had the time of his life ;

are outraged by black brutes long will negroes be
burned at the stake. Such crime is bound to be
followed by just such penalty.
We may cry out that lynching must be stopped.
So it must. But only the negroes can stop it.
First must be stopped the unspeakable crime against
white women They must let white women alone
Until they do this the burmngs will go as long as
there is a black ruffian left to feed the flames.
Not all lynchlngs are due to crimes against wo-
men, but after all that is the chief provocation
Remove the unspeakable CRIME and then lynching
for other causes would rapidly become so unpopular
as to be stamped out almost Immediately.

THE CURE FOR LYNCHING.

Press pull pit and platform are harmonious in
denouncng lynchng the greatest crime of the
American people of this generation. Whenever
calm opinion is expressed on the subject, north or
SOUTH it is against the horrible atrocities that have
shamed civilization. 1t is impossible to conceive of
Endorsement Of the fendish frenzy that turns
sober citizens into madmen and murderers.
But in spite of the continued Remuneration of
it, in spite of the public opinion against it, in spite
of the almost universal conviction that it is lnexcu-
sable the orgy of torture and slaughter goes on in
creasing in frequency and horror. Men who de-
nounce it one day engage in it the next.
There must be some deep-seated reason or psy-
Geological force, not put into words, that impels
men, despite the protests of their objective senses
to plunge into this mNelstrom of passion
There is a raason-a force-that is irresistible
1t lies in the universal conviction that the
brute deserves all he gets.
Among all that is said about the outrages upon
law and ORDER about the crime against society.
about the disgrace to civilization there is never one
word uttered Of pity for the brute Ivnched. He is
beyond the pale Of human sympathy. Feeling can
no more extend to him than to poisonous snake
But there is mighty of feeling for the
innocent and helpless girls and women whom these
DTuJeS nave condemned TO late than deAth
1t is this which makes every woman in the country
of one mind, and which brings every man to their
side.
The press the pulpit and the platform, power
full as they are, can turn this mighty tide of
sympathy from the innocent victims. and never can
alter the heart-deep conviction that the women
must be defended against such awful fate, even
though the land be soaked with the blood of
ravishers.
The only cure for the lynching epidemic lies
with the brutes themselves
They can stop lynchng in a moment
They have only to let white girls and women
alone.
If they will do this Iynching will fade away as
quickly and completely as an unpleasant dream
fees at awakening.
There is no other remedy, Human nature can
not be made over. We may preach, make laws,
plead and threaten, but human nature remains the
same, and a vitalizing part of that human nature
like the soul in the body is the determination that
our mothers, wives, daughters and sisters shall be
defended TO the uttermost
There is no other way, So long as white girls

No Evidence Of Any PrecOciOusRess
In His Religious Development.

In His Religious Development.
OF the nineteen children born to Sam
uel and Susanna Wesley only ten sur
yived the period Of infancy, and of
these only three were sons. John was
thirteen years younger than Samuel
and six years older than Charles. or
his early boyhood only one incident Is
recorded. On February night in 11O9
the rectory was burned. The family,
hurrying out In terror, left the boy
John sleeping in his attic chamber, and
he was taken out through a window
only an instant before the blazing roof
fell in upon his bed. Wesley always
retained vivid recollection of the
scene, and more than a half century
later, when, thinking himself near
death, he composed his epitaph, he de-
scribes himself as "a brand plucked
from the burning"
His mother deemed his rescue prov
idential indication that her son was
preserved for some great work and re-
solved, as she says. Ito be more partic-
ular!y careful of the soul Of this child
that Thou hast so mercifully provided
for" There is, however, no evidence
of anything precocious in the religious
development of the boy, but only a GER
tain staid, overdeliberateness which he
got from his mother, but which to the
more mercurial temperament Of the ia
Their seemed in lad not yet in his teens
half amusing and half vexatious.

COMFY A WORKING GIRL"

''She is Il working girl and has nothing to lose.
am the one to suffer. I am a business man and
we'll known. l hold responsible position with a
business firm and / must bear all the brunt of the
scandal"
So said Arthur W. Frick of Chicago recently to
a reporter.
The working girl he speaks of is Miss Myrtle
Huntington, formerly in Tricks employ. Miss
Huntington had Mrs Frick arrested for assault and
battery, and also sued her for damages.
Mrs Frick was Jealous of Miss Huntington IT,
company with two other women the former decoyed
the girl to the Frick house She assaulted the girl
beating her numerically This and the suit consti-
tute the scandal of which Prick speaks.
You see, Miss Huntington is only working girl
She has nothing to lose either by beating a
DIAL. However, here is what she says:
''I'm a working girl. Pm proud of the fact

girl alone in the world, as am, to live. have not
Icourted any publicity. | have done all | could to
avoid it, Mr. Prick does not know what it has meant
to any honest girl to be mentioned in affair of this
kind"
Read the statement of the prominent business
man and of the working girl over again.
One is the statement of whining cur, the Other
of refined woman. In one is selfshness, cowadce
pride Of position and a superior contempt for the
working classes" In the other is pride of charac
ter, modesty, delicacy decent independence and
wOmanly sense of outrage.

Jury on those two statements alone

FOR YOUNG MEN.

Wait a moment, young man.
You say you haven't been given fair chance in
life to make something of yourself.
Look at William E. Corey, who was just recent
ly elected president of the United States Steel Corpo
ration at a salary that would make man rich in a
year.
Do you think he had "a pull?'
He did Fifteen years ago Corey was pushing
q wheel barrow in the yards of one of Carnegie's
mills And this was his pull
''He wheeled so much more iron in day than
the men at his elbow that he was soon made fore
man over them"
In other words Corey wasn't afraid to ''do 81
worth of work for DOLLAR fear that besets
many young men today.
When Corey became foreman it was noticed he
got twice as much work out of his men the other
foremen He didn't swear at his men. They never
grumbled at their boss. They respected him.
Carnegie began promoting Corey.
And Corey worked hard. He had only a fair
common school education He studied at night.
He took up a course in correspondence school. In
time he became an expert chemist. By and by he
was an authority oil armor plate. He knew more
about armor plate than anyone in the mills. There
was only one thing for Carnegie to do. He made
Corey superintendent of that department. Corey
increased the output
That's all.
Only remember this; He wheeled so much
more iron ore in day than the men at his elbow, "
