W0msn's Version Of nThs vamplrs.


womsn's Version Of "Ths Vampire"
with apologies to Kipllng.l
A fool there was. and she lowered her
Gwen as you and ID
To a bunch Of conceit in a masculine
eve saw the faults that could not be
But the fool saw only his manly side
Gwen as you and -.
oh. the love we laid on our own hearts
grave
with the care of our head and hand,
Belongs 10 the man who did not know
(And now we know that he never could
know
And did not understand.
A fool there wav and her best she
Gwen as you and u
or noble thoughts. Of gay and grave
(And all We're accepted az due to the
knave),
But a fool would never her folly save
Gwen as you and y.
Oh. the stabs she hid. which the Lord
forbid
Hsd ever been really planned.
We took from the man who didn't know
why
(And now we know he never knew
And did not understand
The fool was loved while the game
was new
Gwen as you and y.
And when Il was played she took her
cue
(Ploddng along as most of us do)
Trying to keep his faults from view
Gwen as you and u.
And it isn't the ache Of the heart or its
break
That stings like a white-hot brand
II Is the learning to know that she
raised a god
And bent her head to kiss the rod,
For one who could not

DIVINE REVELATION sUPRsMg.

The examination OF Presldent Smlth
Of the Mormon Church has given us a
view of a shifty man and revealed that
the head of the church is living in
open defiance Of the laws of his coun-
try. But the trend of the committees
questions indicates that the members
place allegiance to our civil institu-
tions as an obligation superior to Di-
vine revelation. The following ques-
tions show the point OF view Of the
inquisitors:
Suppose" continued Senator Hoar,
your people should receive a Divine
revelation commanding them to COM
NIT some act forbidden by the law Of
the land, what would they consider
their duty2"
suppose" said Senator Burrows,
"the laws Of the land and the revela-
tions Of the church We're at conflict,
what would be the course?'
II rather think that our people would
obey the law Of the land" was the un-
certain answer.
what would you do?" asked Mr..
+9liAOWa HhNA NAes
Mr. smith might have retorted:
'What would you do? Both Senator
Hoar ana Senator Burrows might per-
form a service IN answering the ques-
ton for themselves.
a man who receives what he believes
to be a Divine revelation win follow IT,,
no matter though the institutions Of
men be overthrown. 1t Is another way
OF saying that Divine authority Is su-
perior to that Of mortals. II always
has been so. Merf IN this age who be-
lieve they are obeying the win Of God
win go to the stake for their faith just
as cheerfuly as their ancestors did.
Let the Catholics. the AIethodlsts and
the Presbyterians answer this ques-
ton; Suppose the laws Of the land
and the revelations OF the church were
in conflict. what would be your course?'
Wen. IL they had faith worth having
they would obey the revelations OF the
church.
And hasn't It always been so?
Haven't the laws Of this land been the
gradual outgrowth Of centuries Of con-
nict in which Divine revelation has as
serted its authority and shown its sn-
perlorlty? Why. even our laws are
based upon the Ten Commandments
which come to men IN the shape Of &
Divine revelation.
Now whether the revelations OF thu
Mormon Church are real or bogus, an'
whether Mr.. Smith believes IN them, s.
another matter. But there is no doub
that should our institutions come II
conflict with the general religious views
of the people these institutions, anc
not the faith, would be changed,

Eloaaina in Schools.

From the Washington Post
While the Post is earnestly in favor
of the lash for the back Of the wife,
beater it is equally opposed TO re-
turn to the old-tlme custom Of fog
ging In the public schools. It believes
that the evil wrought by such dis
ciplinary method lmmeasurably out
weighs the utmost possibility Of good
results AS our civilization progresses.
the gap between old-time and present
conditions relating to this subject
steadily widens There is more Of
pride. self-respect, and sensitiveness in
the character Of the children of today
than there was when fogglng at school
and at home was an almost daily ex-
perience.

Horse Liked Elonr

A horse attached to a welI-filed grocer S
wagon was standing on Market between
Fifth and Sixth streets the other after
noon when a horse drawing an express
wagon pulled up back of it. Putting his
head inside the grocers wagon the ex-
press horse nosed around until he found
a bag of -four. He pulled 1t out and
chewed at j. until the contents all fell into
the street. Then he dropped the bag and
tried another bag. He kept 1t up until he
had about four bags lying at his feet. A

Superior Court to the effect that those
who arc not called TO the stand receive no

among witnesses who have been sub
uoenaed in cases but are never called TO

convenience to them to attend court as II

out that In case they should not attend

EVENING APRIL a lss4
Six Persons Burned 70 Death.

An outbreak even more dangerous
than the riot at Boswell, Pa, in last
January has been hourly expected at the
town OF Garrett, Pa, the scene Of the
mining operations of the Garrett Coal
Company. the Somerset Coal Company
and other lesser operations. Trouble
has been brewing there ever since the
Inauguration of the miners strike, five
months ago.
A number of the striking miners at
Garrett own homes there, but recently
the Garrett Coal Company erected a
number of houses, and the bringing in
of new men to occupy these houses and
take the places Of the strikers in the
mines had worked the latter up to a
high state of excitement and resentment,
and for the last few days the town has
been veritable mine Of indignation
that might easily be exploded, with
probably the result of great loss Of life
and property. The strikers have been
parading the streets openly armed and
they have prevented the giving Of the
household goods Of incoming miners
from the railroad station to the new
company houses.
A horror that may or may not be
connected with the strike situation
at Garrett was the burning to death
of two women and four children in their
home at that place between the hours
of 9 and o'clock yesterday morning.
The victims were Mrs. Rosanna Meyers,
her two daughters, Lucinda and Annie,
aged 80 and years, respectively, and
her son, Richard, aged five years. The
two other victims we're young children OF
Lucinda. The house was one and one
halfstory log building, and the women
and children were sleeping in the upper
story. Mr.. Meyers and Jonas Sullivan, q
boarder, were asleep on the first door.
They were awakened by the smoke and
the noise made by the fire and had bare
w time to save themselves by rushing
from the building. The victims in the
upper story persisted without help and
their bodies we're all reduced to ashes.
The origin OF the fire is unknown. 1t
may never be known, but rumor con.
meets it with the troubles growing out OF
the miners strike The strikers lay the
origin ofthe fire to a number of Italians
who are working for the Garrett Coal
Company, but what motive the foreigners
could have for such crime has not de-
veloped. Strikers, armed with Wioches-
ter rifles paraded the streets yesterday.
They say this demonstration is to prevent
the Italians from leaving the communi-
ty before the coroner's inquiry has been
completed. They say that in doing this
they are acting under the instruction OF
the township constable.
