mother will obey the unWritten law,

ten years since there was taken from
our statute book the law that man
could by will give his unborn child to
whom he pleased, without reference
to the paramount claim, by affection
and suffering Of its mother.
A member of the bar in the one
state in the union where there are no

state they had no serious trouble as
to domestic infelicities. eff a man

unwritten law seemed to be preferred
to the statute law, which sewers the
marriage bond on adequate grounds

tleman that ali women were not so
fortunate as to have brothers, but
the reply was that seldom was there
case in which there was no male
relative, and that he believed that
were such a case to arise of gross
abuse, there was always to be found
in the community a man who would
protect the woman and her rights.

WHAT A RACE SINGS ABOUT.
Each Nationality Has Its Own Range
of Favorite Ballads.

ct may or may not be the case that
a races temperament can be judged
from its folk songs" said traveller,
but it is interesting to note the diff
ference of subject matter in the songs
of various peoples.
"The Irishman, for instance, seems
to sing for the most part about his
lady love. Hardly any of his songs
are not addressed to his Somebody
Mavourneen.
''The Scot, on the other hand, sings
about his country and It's history, as a
rule Scots Wha Haze 'Ye Banks and
Braes O. Bonnie Doom Loeb Lomond'
and SO on might be taken as exam
pies.
"The Englishman, 1t is interesting
to note, sings about himself all the
time. His songs are about his own
glory, his ships, his men, his power.
He refers occasionally to I'D England,
but only as place he made famous
by his own prowess. Unlike the Irish
and the Scotch. he sings little of his
women and his eountry's hea gsses."

Lines BY c. n. Webb.
AS an example of the unexampled
pity for both parties to the tragedy let
me quote few lines written at the
time by c. H. Webb, of New York,
son of a prominent politician of the
time, and our minister to Mexico:
This for the wronged member Of

like this "unwritten law" disease.
There are those who tell you that you
can find anything you want to find in
the Bible. And, true, you can find
many strange things. You can find
almost anything. But I defy you to
find anything like this ''unwritten

the lids of the Book of Books. I con-

MADE THEM ALL LAUGH.
Book Must Have Been Funny, but No
One Knew What Is Was.

It must have been very funny
story! The type looked, funny from
across the aisle of the car, the pic
lures looked funny, and the young
lady who was reading it doubled up
in fits of stifed laughter every few
minutes. The young man in the seat
with her could not help stealing a
glance at the pages of the book which
was evidently so funny, but whose
cover was carefully doubled back out
of sight, and soon he began to laugh
as he unblushingly followed the story
page after page, shaking with sup
pressed merriment.
The woman in the seat at right an
giles became interested and looked
over the girls shoulder. Presently
her face broadened into grin and
soon she was convulsively shaking.
The man in the seat across smiled at
the scene. A boy few seats down
the aisle grinned sympathetically. A
darby still further down showed all
his white teeth. The contagion spread
until the car was nearly on the verge
of Mysteries, when the fair reader got
up to leave the train, yet no one but
the girl herself had any idea as to
what the book was.

FACTS ABOUT FIGURE NINE.
Professor of the Occult Has Added a
New Wrinkle.


Mathematicians have juggled with
the mystic figures 8, Z and 8 for ages,
and now comes foreign professor"
of the occult science to tell fortune
by "the force in simple numeraI'-
the 9. He reminds his victims that II
they multiply any number, short OF a
decimal, by 9 the two figures OF the
product added together will make ..
Thus: Nine times 2 are is, and 8 and
/ are 9: 8 times are q, and 7 and 2
are 9: 9 times S are As, and 5 and 4
are 9; 9 times are "a, and 4 and 5
are 9; 9 times are So, and 8 and 6
are 9: 9 times are 72, and 2 and Z
are 9; 9 time 9 are 81, and and 8 are
8. He might have added that any
number in the hundreds OF thousands
multiplied by 9 will give a product
the sum of whose digits is multiple
Of 9. Take at random-9 times 545
are 1905, the sum of which is Is, and
9 into IS goes 2 times. Take 1852
multiplied by 9 equals 66,16S; the sum
of the digits is 81; 8 into II goes
times. Oh, there is an immense
amount of fun in 8.

"Sir," asked the pale-faced, side
whiskered man of the heavy-set, club
by-cheeked man who was smoking a
long, black cigar and reading sport
ing paper, would you permit your boy
to smoke cigarettes when he grows
up?"
That's a question you'll have to de-
eide for yourself" replied the heavy
set man. IT don't know how you would
look at it, you see. It's you and your
boy for that"
IT did not refer to myself in the
question, sir. What l meant to in
quire was whether you intended to
permit your own boy to smoke"
'I've never given it a minute s
thought"
What! never pondered upon the
effect upon the constitution, to say
nothing of the morals, of your son to
allow him to smoke the deadly
things?"
Never thought-no, sir"
"And will you allow him to drink

ooh, can such things be-can such
things be? Allowing your child tc

and never speaking a fatherly word

Who that reads the recent trial Of
Gillette for the murder of his victim
can forget the GOODNESS with which he
claimed he said: Tell your father;
if you don't, l will" There comes a
mental picture of that father and
what swift vengeance ne would have
meted out to the destroyer Of his
child. Was Gillette such a degen-
crate that to him the unWritten law
had no meaning, or was he merely
talking for effect?
The unwritten law which says "Ven-
geance is mine,' is no excuse for the
disgraceful broiIs Of the degenerate
man and woman who find their only
pleasure in dissipation. The man who
despoils innocence himself-Who gives
his name and his protection to wonl-
an whose life has been like unto his
own, is not in any sense the defender
Of what the home stands for. His
sense of moral obligation for himself
is too blunted to fit him, to judge
of the transgressions Of another. He
is himself an outlaw when judged by
the standards of common morality.
His propensity to shoot is the re-
suit of heated brain, or the lack of
brains.
No woman, no man, is safe with
such creature at large.
Let us add to the unwritten law an

BY JOAQUIN MILLER.

A woman, good Or bad, shot a man,
good or bad, in his hotel in our ma
uonal capital, the other day. She
stands, she says, 'intrenched behind
the unWr1tten law" She claims to
nave chased this man from Utah to
washington and shot him to death
IN his hotel, because he refused to
provide for her and her two children;
that she has twice been made a
mother; that one of the children bears
his name.
We have, up to date, been pretty
tolerant Of the woman who takes a
babe on one arm and pistol in the
other hand and pursues a man to his
death. But when there are two chill.
dren, as in this case, one may well
ponder bit before he gives her the
tears and tenderness so generously
given to the guileless, misguided girl.
Like Highwayman's Act.
A woman cannot well come into
court with a family of children and
plead seduction and betrayal, as a
girl too often does, and have the sym
pathy Of both men and women. This
Woman's statement is that she asked
the man either to marry her or give
her money to support her children. He
said "No; will not" and with that
she shot him to death, or, at least, did
her best to kill him on the spot.
Briefly and blunt1y she shot him down
in his hntn7 tn oSVy InTs
money. The difference between this
act and that of the ordinary burglar
or highwayman is not very distinct.
Now, have we not had about enough
Of this "unwritten law nonsense?
Who will be the next man or woman
to shoot someone in the back or belly,
and plead the "unwritten law? l
say and you know that had it not
been for the noisy and foolish fop
in the Tombs with his plea about the
''unwritten law" this poor woman out
of the far west would be at home to-
day with her children and her victim
on his feet about his business.
Count up on your fingers, If you can
do it on both hands, how many cases
of this ''unwritten law" idea have
been conspicuous since the silly and
insolent young idler in the Tombs be-
gan to exploit his defense for shoot
ing a useful and Industrious man in
