Young Bandits Get Long Terms.-On
Tuesday last Judge Burke sentenced Roland
B. Rigor and Lee Mooney, who were convicted
of holding up United Railways car at Lake
side, to Is years imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary. Ten years were imposed for the assault
and robbery of Conductor Baker and five yeare
for the assault and robbery of Mr.. Z. l.. Id
dings, passenger on the car.
Rigor received his sentence with stolid in
difference, but Mooney was apparently deeply
affected by the impressive words of Judge
Burke in passing sentence and dropped back
again to bis seat in the prisoners dock and
presented pitiable appearance. In pronOunc-
ing sentence Judge Burke said:
ut is a sad thing to see young men OF honor
able parentage, like yourselves, in your situa-
ton. The suffering which follows the sem
tence of the court in cases like your own is felt
more keenly by those who are nearest and
should be the dearest to the wrOngdoer than
it is by himself. Against the advice, entrea-
ties and remonstrances of those who were
most interested in your welfare, you chose q
and ruin. l am sorry for you, but sympa-
thize most with those upon whom you have
brought inexpressible grief. But society must
be protected and persons who commit crimes
such as you have committed must be smitten
with the mailed hand of justice.
1T is to be hoped that you will profit by
your sad experience and that your career may
serve as danger signal at the entrance of the
way which you saw fit to travel"
As soon as the necessary papers were pre-
pared Rigor and Mooney were handcuffed to-
gether and taken to the penitentiary to begin
the serving of their sentence. They were in
charge of Sheriff Rittenhouse and Deputy
Sheriff John F. Anderson.

Leading Prayer Meetings.

1t is very much like being, hostess at The
head of table full of guests There are
the good things to be provided by previous
thought and work, and the invitations to
be sent out. But it is at the table itself
that the finest qualities need to be dis
played. If anything goes wrong the hostess
must never show any annoyance, but rath.
er turn the mistake to good account. II
any important guest fails to come or IL
late, she must bandly smile and make
such adjustments as are possible. Every
one must be made to feel at home. The
bashful and timid Young man. while not
having any important remark aimed
squarely at him, will be drawn into con
versation unawares. People will be set tc
conversing in a most interesting way who
were never suspected of having anything
interesting about them. Occasionally .
learned guest will be kept talking quite by
himself when he has struck OH a line OF
personal information or experience OF pc
cular value. but most likely the conversa,
ton is general darting back and forth in
delightful play of mind on mind. The gaps
between the courses the wise hostess fills
herself with little observations which seem
quite unpremeditated, but in reality com,
from a careful study of her company be
forehand. Every ready. ever good natured
ever feeling that the pleasure of her com
pany is in her hands, she yet succeeds IN
making the guests provide most OF the in
tcllectual feast.
When you are called upon to lead {
prayer meeting it will be well to give ur
the old notion OF presiding at a public
function. and adopt the idea OF a hostes,
among her guests. Ii YOU do, when they
go home they will be likely 20 thank you
for the delightful hospitality you have
shown and secretly desire to come again.

Recognizes Their Worst Foe.

An incident recently occurred at a labor
union meeting in indianapolis that shows
in what light many laboring men view the
saloon, the poor mans club.
Prior to the recent State election in In
dianapolis al a meeting of the Central La.
Dor Union committee appeared from the
Knights of Fidelity, the saloonkeepers' or
ganizatou, and asked the members OF the
Central Labor Union not to sign remon'
strances against the granting OF licenses,
and to pass a resolution or motion advis'
ing all union men TO assume such position.
The committee had respectful hearing,
and two members spoke favorab!y to their
request. Then David Mcclure OF the Car
penters' Union, got the floor and said
II think ii is a shame that any one
should get up to attempt to bind the mem
bers of organized labor from signing these
circumstances against the hell holes in
this town. Liquor drinking Is u curse to
many laboring men, and you all know 1t.
II should hc left TO a mans own conscience
whether he signs one OF these petitions or
not.
After sucn 1cathing reply rs this it did
not take the mCGlSe.s 81 the union long to
decide not to entertain ,T@ motion and
thus leave each man to decide Tor I"mselt.
In many other unions OF laborlng men
there are those who realize that IN the
liquor traffic they have the worst Zoe TO
