WHY THE VERDICT
IS DENOUNCED.
Jacksonville Metropolis.)

II is very hard to convict a white
nan of murder and to hang him IN
Florida. So seldom such things oc-
cur that 1t is a surprise TO the people.
For two or three years they nave been
trying to hang a white man IN De
Soto county. and II Is said that at
last he will be hung, as all avenues OF
escape have been closed TO him
In Pensacola Friday William Fetch
or Williams was convicted Of murder
in the first degree with a recommen-
dation TO mercy which makes the pun
ishment life imprisonment, and nearly
every one in Florida believes THAI

John White. a reputable citizen, and
Edwin Dansby. another good citizen.
Williams was tried for killing White,
and the Pensacola Journal Of Saturday
said:
An immense crowd was damned
into the court room during the after
noon and remained until the verdict
had been reached. While there were
no expressions of disapproyal in the
court room, many were heard after
adjournment. and little groups OF men
gathered along Palafox street and dis
cUssed il as soon as its purpoTt De
came known. The consensus OF opln'
ion seemed 10 be that il was traves-
~ on justice and the jury was ie'
nounced by many for recommending
mercy in a case where the evidence
had shown no mercy had been given
and which all who expressed them
selves characterized as a wlllful, pre-
meditated and cold-blooded murder.

THE FATE or THE
SUBMARINE BOAT.
New Orleans Picayune.
S.iesssSR

Although 1t does not appear that
any attempt was maze to employ sub
marine boats during the present war
liz the Far East, the principal naval
powers are still building the craft and
seeking 10 improve them by increas.
ing their size and developing their
motive power. Even the many acct
dents that have occurred in maneuyeT-
ing the boats have not served 10 dis
courage their use, although il must be
confessed that their value Is not rated
as high as II was. and il is generally
understoOd that they are Of small val
ue against any but fixed targets.
In common with the other naval
powers, the United States is still en-
gagged in constructing submarines and
experimenting with them. One re-
Gently completed is shortly TO be TEST
ed in the presence of the president at
Oyster Bay. and il is even limited that
Ar. Roosevelt proposes to take 2
plunge in her. 1t is hoped for many
reasons that he will be persuaded no.
20 do so. That there is always a large
element Of risk in remaining submerg-
ed in one Of these boats must be
freely admitted. hence il would be
wrong for the president to expose his
life with no strong purpose in view.
OF course. officers and men OF the
Navy are expected 10 test the boats
and do test them. notwithstanding the
risk, because their calling requires
them to take freqenr chances. No
matter from what point of view con
sidered. the naval service is full Of
risks which officers and men mus
take every day, hence the mere faCt
that service in q submarine is danger
Gus should not and does not deter the
personnel Of the Navy from willingly
serving In them when there is need
for such service.
The failure TO employ submarine
BY the belligerents in the present wal
has hurt the reputation Of the boats
Il is assumed that they were not used
! because il was realized that they
would be Of no practical advantage
The japanese were supplied with the
boats, and IL is safe TO assume thai
/ they would have employed them had
they been convinced that they would
have proven useful. At Port Arthur
/ the rough sea and the distance from q
F base made il impracticable TO use sub
( marine boats, while the battle OF the
sea of Japan was fought in too rough
water to make the maneuvering Of

the Awesome Importance and SCI

Many people assume certain man
ners as they assume certain clothes
and change these manners more sell
dom than they change their clothes.
Some think Il ingratiating to be perky.
Others think 1t more graceful to be
dropping and melancholy, TO gaze visit

before the baked meats Of a funeral
feast. But Of all the people who In
dulge in travesty I think l get most
amusement out Of the mysterious peO-
pie.
Bated, forever bated. Is the breath OF
the mysterious person. Directly be

Of the presence Of the unutterable and

that none other may know that be is
telling you that the weather is damp
and that there is q deal Of influenza
about. As he discusses with you such
dreadful subjects as the price Of hob

ton his head approaches yours, his lips
pout secretively, his eyes glance round
warily to make sure that no one IS
within earshot to betray him and you.
The gallows Is surely in his memory.

Sign of an EEotist.

Toward the latter days Of George d.

out an unabridged dictionary is an
egotist. and I DO not belong in that

FRIENDSHIPS.
Differences Between Those of Mel
and Those of Women.

Differences Between Those of Men
and Those of Women.
One difference between men and
women In their relation to friendship
is that a mans friends Ike him In
spite of himself; a woman's friends or
acquaintance care for her because Of
herself, because of her powers Of agree
ability, her tact or her charE.
A man may be as grouchy as he likes
on occasion. he may swear at his best
friend and treat him as cayalierly as
be pleases, yet that friend will wait in
patience for ''the old man TO come
round" knowing well that beneath the
surface are a kindly heart and a Will
ingness to share last crust with him.
With her friends a woman may take
no such liberty. The kind heart and
the good intentions count for nothing
beside a woman's had manners and
lack of taste in the treatment OF her
nearest and dearest. and condemnation
is swift and sure. Nothing excuses her,
and she is rarely forgiven. Nor would
she expect to be forgiven. Not possess
ing that large patience undeniably nee
essary to friendship or the power OF
fOrgiving and waiting for the Crouch"
to blow over. she does not look for for
giveness when she has sinned against
these laws Of woman's making.
Rather she gives up her friend and
contents herself quite placidly with an
other. But then, as we said before, q
woman has no genius for friendship.

seeds That Are Used For Food a1a
Ornament In India
A seed much used for ornament Is
that which bears the popular name OF
Job's tears. The old bOtanist Gerarde
tins describes il: Every graine re-
ssmbleth the drop or tear that falletn
from the eye" There are, however.
now three or four well marked forms
Of this seed met with in India, which
differ from each other IN shape, color
and degree Of hardness and in the pres
euce or absence Of groOTes or burrows
along the length OF the hardened in
solucer.
DIR. Watt Of Calcutta thus enumer-
ates them: There are three types OF
shape-a long cylindrical or tubular, a
normal pear shaped condition and a
fattened spheroidal form. The eynn-
drieaI grain IS always Of a white COZ
or. smooth, polished, not furroTed- but
CONSTRUCTED toward both extTemities-
This is collected for ornamental pur-
poses only and not as an article FOR
FOOD. The pear shaped form varies in
size and color, being pale and blush
white, gray, yellow or brown black
The hattened sfiheroidal kinds are Of
zen yellow or even pink
The two principal forms are; One
almost round and either white or Diack-
This form is sometimes. though less
frequently, used for rosaries and Orna-
mental purposes. but chiefly for food
among the hill tribes OF India The
second form is tubular, about half an
Inch long. This is extensively employ
ed for decorative purposes. the dresses
worn BY the Karen women being often
completely covered with embroidered
designs OF this grain"
