has contributed to make Georgia a
prohibition state and which will cause
the other southern states to follow in
her footsteps. A vast majority of the
race fictions in the south may be at
tributed to the liquor traffic. With
few exceptions the crimes which lead
to lynchings are due directly or indi-
rectly to whiskey. The people of the
south are coming to realize that the
abolition of the whiskey traffic is an
essential preliminary to the SETTLE
ment of the race question, and it is
in a large measure due to this con-
viction that the growth of the prohi-
bition sentiment may be attributed"

Good Receipts.

LEMON ICE-Make syrup with
one pint of sugar and one quart of
water, let cool and add the juice of
four large lemons. Turn into freez-
er, and when it begins to thicken, stir
in the whites of two eggs beaten very
light, with two tablespoonful of pow
dered sugar. Freeze until stiff.
LEMON SYRUP-Squeeze the lem
ons and strain the juice carefully. To
one pint of juice add two pounds Of
sugar and set away until thoroughly
dissolved, stirring occasionally, then
bottle. One or two spoonfuls in a
glass of water will make delicious
lemonade, and it is fine for picnics.

Whole Wheat Bread.

Bread made of whole wheat may
look as nice and be as light and soft
as the white bread, if made and
baked properly, and it has much
sweeter, better favor. If the follow
ing directions are carefully followed,
it will insure success: Proportion
your yeast and water as for any light
bresd; place in suitable sized vessel
I'd stir, add salt and small piece OF
fresh lard or butter; have. sifted and
ready pan of whole wheat flour, also
q pan of white -four. Now add to your
mixture tWo double handfuls Of the
whole wheat and one of the white
-four, and stir the batter; continue
adding Hour SO and stirring, until your
dough Is sits enough to finish knead-
ing with the hands. The proportion
of -four is two-thirds whole wheat and
one-third white. The use Of white
fom makes the bread lighter than all
whole wheat. Do not mix too stiff or
the bread will be dry. Let rise over
night, work down early next morn
Ing, let get light again, then mold
into loayes, place in pans, and when
light, bake in a rather hot oven until
well done. The loaves should not be
very large, and should be baked in
separate pans. Do not cut the bread
while hot.-Good Housekeeping.

A fragrant breath along the woodland pass,
Where peeps the shy arbutus through the snow
Mid wintergreen and moss; upon the grass
brighter sheen: where honeysuckles blow
The yellow coated bees indurtrious hum;
The robins early trespass on the lawn;
The bursting buds that tell of fruit to come
All cry: Rejoice! Rejoice. ear Is born.
The knee deep grasses where the cattle Craze,
The quivering air that shimmers on the hill,
The shallow pool wherein the mInnOw plays.
The dragonfiies that dart and then are still.
The russell tassles on the chestnut trees.
The ripening wheat that lifts Its golden spear
To catch the kisses of the wanton breeze
All cry: IA cheer! Acheer for the lusty year."
Upon the fields faint. uncertain haze
On maple leaves strife 'twixt red and gold;
The mountain ash with berries all ablaze.
And morn and eve with early frost acold
The steel and amber glow that sunset weayes
Out Of the west, before the stars appear;
The fitful gusts that chase the flylng leaves
All sigh: "Prepara bier for the dying year -
A leaden sky that from the zenith down
Deepens to black; against the sky the trees,
Knot tied and bare, save here and there brown
Leaf rattling In the gale; the hum Of bees,
The song Of birds all hushed, on hill and vale
The ghossly. silent snow; pail o'erhead.

ernor of Colorado secretly honored
the extradition papers, the men were
secretly arrested and in the darkness
of early morning were placed aboard
a special train, heavily guarded, and
carried to Idaho. To prevent inter
ference along the route changes of
engines were made at remote sidin gs
instead of at stations.
A protest against this proceeding
made by the prisoners, was carried
to the United States supreme court,
which decided against them and
cleared the way for the state to pro-
ceed with the trial. Gov. Gooding
has personal charge of the prosecu-
ton, but j. Fl. Hawley is field mar
shal for the state. His leading asso-
ciate is United States Senator Borah.
one of the greatest criminal lawyers
in the west. Borah's friends charge
that it is because of his association
with the prosecution of this case
that charges against him in connec-
tion with the land Investigations
have been made.
Attorney j. Fl. Nugent has charge
OF the active preparation OF the case
for the defense. He established Of
ficers here soon after the arrest Of
the prisoners and has practically
lived here continuously. Clarence
Darrow, of Chicago, a leading law
yer of radical opinions, identified
with ex-Mayor Dunne's advocacy of
municipal ownership, is one of the
most prominent among the counsel
for the defense.
Frank Steunenberg was governor
of Idaho during the Couer d'Alene
labor troubles. He made the ap-
plication that brought United States
troops into the district to restore or
der. Several years elapsed after he
left the executive chair before he
was killed. The miners say he had
passed from their minds and that
they harbored no feelings of revenge.
The long delay in getting the case
to final adjudication has been favor
able to the defense in that they have
secured as witness, Steve Adams,
chief of those intended by the state
to corroborate Orchards alleged con-
fession. Adams recanted his alleged
confession, was Immediately rear
rested upon the charge of killing
Fred Tyler, sheepman in the
mountains, and given speedy trial.
While these facts may be introduced
by the state as discrediting his testi-
mony, he is lost forever as witness
to support the prosecution.
The prosecution claims to have
found in Orchards trunks instruc-
tion in cipher from Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone.

Out of his mind and raving about
the hanging of negro, Sheriff R. F.
McCaslin, Of Greenwood county, S.
O., died in Greenville from physical
collapse. Three weeks ago Joe Ev-
ans assembled the gallows to pay the
penalty for having attacked the wife
of his brother and then killing the
brother when the crime was discoy-
cred. Evans was the first man to
be hanged in Greenwood county,
and it was the first execution in
which Sheriff McCaslin had ever
taken part. He had dreaded the
idea Of hanging the negro, and i'm
mediately after the murderer was
pronounced dead, he went to his
bed, and never left it. The horror
of taking human life, even though it
was in legal form, seemed to prey
upon the mind of the officer to such
an extent that the doctors could give
no relief to his suffering mind and
body.

Ian Maclaren" is dead in Iowa
while the announcement of his lat
est novel is fresh in the American
prints. His pen-name was SO much
more widely known than his real
name that news merely Of the death
of the Rev. John Watson might
have passed unnoticed in many
quarters, even among attentive
readers. And this, it is understood,
is much as he desired it to be, his
work as novelist being thus disso-
ciated from his career as preacher.
However, there is constant minis

''The Upper Room" "The Care of

If the Irish people are not to get
home rule they may at least enjoy
the satisfaction of knowing that the
home rule question is still potent to
disrupt British cabinets. The truth
of the matter appears to be that there
is a certain element in both the
great British parties which never
will assent to any proposition invol-
wing Irish autonomy. Thus the home
rule issue is the apple of discord in
liberal and conservative govern
ments alike. The trouble is that all
the cabinet ructions, though they
divide the English, do not help the
Irish at all. 1t is singular situa-
tion.-Chicago Chronicle.
