A most enjoyable evening was spent

Thursday evening when the mem.

tanned their gentlemen friends at the
closing meeting of the season. The So
ciety demonstrated the fact that women
can keep a secret in spite Of the usual
masculine opinion to the contrary-And
no SUSPICION among the men was aroused
as to what an awful ordeal was in store
for them until the entire society ap-
peared carefully masked and proceeded
to initiate the men into the order. No
resistance was offered the guards as the
shrouded figures were armed with the
most torturing looking prods. Mrs.
Hunter as chief initiatori reigned su-
preme over the merriment and the en-
tire company of B. 1. Is. were initiated,
in the first degree of the society. Five
hundred was played until the banquet
was. announced. The table and rooms
were beautifully decorated in yellow and
white, the society colors, and with Mar
guerites the society flower. Places were
found at the long dining table by dainty
hand.painted place cards in the form Of
Marguerites and cut flowers were at each
place. Mrs. Smith, as toast : mistress,
kept the ball rolling by her wit and local
hits on the new members. Toasts were

BURGLARS AND HIGHWAIMEN

glars and highwaymen are hard to
capture and invariably are armed to
commit murder if resistance is Of
/ fered or their arrest is threatened.
They are distinctly murderous in
intent, yet the penalties enforced as
a rule are comparatively trivial. The
would be-murderer is sent to the
penitentiary for a few years, and on
release often resumes his old course
of crime as the readiest means to
supply himself with money. If
caught, an event not frequent, he is
sent up for few years more, and
Is not iIhelg W ltlOlHi when INC
laws treat him so indulgently.
The highwayman and burglar
take their victims by surprise and
at a complete disadvantage. A re-
yolyer thrust against the head, or
perhaps a heavy blow without warn
ing. is the start. The assailants will
kill unless their peremptory com
mands are instantly obeyed. If an
officer of the peace appears on the
scene, he must expect shower of
bullets. 1t is war to the death ac-
cording to all criminal usage. In
few cases the plotter of the murder
of inoffensive persons is taken in the
act A short sentence for such fear
full assaults is farce. The two life
sentences referred to are sign
that society is realizing that it
| weakly promotes rather than pre-
vents burglary and highway rob
berry. A first offense can not proper
! ly be pleaded in crimes involving
| murder When one of these red
handed thugs is taken he should be

valuables they may have in their

MOTOR BOAT SHOW IN HUB
All Types and Designs on Exhibition
in Boston.

Boston, Jan. 25.-Nearly all of
the manufacturers of motor boats
and engines in the United States
have sent their newest models to
the Boston National Motor Boat
show, opening today in Mechanics
building. This show, being given as
an individual exhibition instead of
a part of the automobile show, sur
passes in intent and interest all it's

made great strides in popularity in
New England during the last year,

All types and designs of the new

The purchase of several sugar
plantations in Fort Bend county
may enable the state TO go out of the
convict lease system, but as the
property of the state does not yield
a revenue to the tax fund it will
also increase the burden on other
property in that county. And there
is another ugly side TO the PROPOSE

ASKED FOR ROSE, GOT CABBAGE
Novel Suit for Damages to Be Tried
in New Haven.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 25.-"I
asked for a rose and was given a
cabbage" declares Thomas Colesan-
to, an Italian resident of Harwin-
ton, Conn, who has brought suit
against his former friend, Michael
Galermino, for $1,000 for alleged
misrepresentation cf a sweetheart.
Colesanto wanted a wife. He was a
plus man and had taken heed of the
scriptural injunction that It's not
good for a man to live alone, but,
although he searched far and wide,
he could not find his affinity.
Then his friend Michael came to
the rescue. He told Thomas of his
sister in Italy-his magnificently
! beautiful sister, the rose of Napoli
sought for by a hundred gallants
! Enamored of this catering descrip
ton, Colesanto gave his friend SCI
with which to pay the passage of the
beautiful maiden to America. She

st. Louis, Jan. 25.-Thomas
Hueston, present holder of the pool
title, and Jerome Keogh of Buffalo,
will meet here Monday in a contest
for the pool championship of the
world. Hueston has twice defeated
Keogh in defending the medal he
now holds and is confident that he
can repeat the operation. Keogh' S
friends say that he has made a
great improvement in his style of
play since he last met the cham
pion and that he is now in form to
get the medal. Both Houston and
Keogh have been practicing for the
match by meeting all corners, and
several close and exciting contests
have resulted.

A WARNING FROM CHANDLER.

Former Senator William E.
Chandler, joined by former Govern
or William Pitt Kellogg of Louisi-
ana, has issued remarkable ad-
dress to the republicans of the
southern states. He advises them not
to mass their votes in the Chicago
convention in favor of any one can
didate for president, and warns them
that if they do, and that candidate
is nominated as result of such
movement, he will surely be defeat
ed at the polls in November. He
tells them they can give no electoral
votes to the nominee and that they
ought to send free and uninstructed
delegates to the convention so as to
facilitate the nomination of the man
most acceptable to those states upon
which the republican party must de-
pend for success.
DO not" says the address, let
the southern delegates be named or
controlled by federal offlceholders,"
and 1t appeals to the negro voters to
participate in the caucuses and con-
ventions by exercising their free,
unrestrained and unbought energies
upon terms of equality with their
white brothers." 1t concludes: DO
not surrender, abandon or destroy
the fifteenth amendment in southern
republican conventions.
Senator Chandler and Governor
kellogg have, from purely party
standpoint, advised the southern re-
publicans wisely, but even If these
two stalwarts were not back num-
bers as political factors, the advice
comes too late for any potent effect
age distributors, referees and office
holders have captured the coon and
gone on long ago. The negroes have
already been largely eliminated
from the situation. Here in Texas
where they can vote upon the same
terms as the whites, they utterly
decline to pay the nominal poll tax
exacted of all, and naturally the re-
publican managers do not permit
non-voters to dictate the party poll
cy or name delegates The greatly
improved condition of the Taft boom
is due to the fact that the admins
tration representatives have made
sure of the 1872 delegates of the
southern states With the 1872 south
ern delegates and 100 from the rest
of the country Taft will be on easy
street. We think, however, that a
nomination secured in that way
will, as Chandler and Kellogg say
greatly impair the chances OF the
republican candidate, but that is
! none of our affair.
| So far as the active republican
politicians of the south are concern
! ed, they will dispose of Chandler
and Kellogg by letting it be known
to the faithful that both of them
are persona non grata with Teddy
Chandler being the most prominent
member of the Presidential Ananias
club and Kellogg in an advanced
stage of political senility. The
southern Teddy boys have the bit in
their teeth and they are galloping
along the turnpike with none to re-
strain hem.-Houston Post,

kennel club, was at Payette the lat

part in big hunt that occurred
Sunday. He states that there were
about two hundred III the party and
there were dogs of every discrip-
ton, but his dogs compared favor
ably with the best and caused no
little interest among sportsmen.
He had several opportunities to dis
lpose of them at fancy prices but
would not sell. He feels that his
trip and the excellent showing
made by the dogs will create a good
demand for the hounds owned and
bred by the club.

That Sweet Song.

The secret going of neary all
who are wanderers or those abiding
temporarily among strangers, is ex-
pressed in the words of that sweet
song, write me a letter from
homc.o
The one thing that the heart
needs Is word from those around
the hearth stone. Especially is this
so in the care of young men. No
boy goes out from the Home Circle
without sense of loss. For a time,
at least, the motherly presence is
sadly missed, the sistery affection
warmly cherished. Then, if the
mothers letters reach him often,
filled with all that a mother most
cloquently expresses, love, hopefull-
ness and prayer, he is still sur
rounded by holy influence.
If the sister writes frequently,
manifcsting her pure affection in
such ways as her heart naturally
prompts, he can hardly run into
sin. And if the home cpistles
come seldom, what then? The
loss in the young mans life must
be made up. He finds his lei
sure hours dull, and they must be
enlivened. There is no call for
long, heart-full letters in return
for similar ones. The evenings he
might give up to penning these he
gives up to doubtful amuscments.
Wanting the tenderness of wo-
mans love, it is not strange that
he falls victim to wicked wiles.
So he forsakes his better self and
takes to his bosom pleasures that
sting him to death. And ere long
he becomes a thing for the mother
and sister to weep over, and his
promising young life fades out
in darkness. A sad picture this
OF course. But it is only a sad
picture of even saddcr realities.
There are hundreds of young men
in every great city, in the very
lowest depths of degradation, whom
the home influence, carefully and
extended through ten
der, ec;ionate, womanly letters,
might have saved him. There are
hundreds of others just taking
their first lesson in vice, who may
be brought back to purity by
loving words from mothers, sis
tors. or sweethcarts. Until
man becomes thoroughly vicious,
The thought of a pure wonan's
love will do much to restrain him
rom iniquity. If that love grows
careless OF him, he grows careless
Of himself. Think of this, you
who have sons, brothers or low

Der that you owe them sacred |

CRUDE THOUGHTS FROM THE EDITORIAL PEN.
The Beautiful Lesson.

If you love, love more. If you
hate, hate less. Life is too short
to send in hating anyone. Why
war against mortal who is going
the same road with us9 Why not
expand the flower of life and hap
piness by learning to love, by
teaching those who are near
and dear the beautiful lesson Your
hands may be hard but your heart
need not be. Your form may be
bent and ugly, but do you not know
that the most beautiful flowers
grow in the most rugged, unshel-
tered places The palace for
care, the cottage for love. Not
that there is no love in a mansion ;
but somehow if we are not very
careful, business will crowd all
there is of beauty out of the heart.
This is why God has given the
Sabbaths and Saturday nights, that
we may leave business and have q
little heart cleaning.

Truth of Science.

If you will look into the early
life of truly helpful men, those
who make life easier or nobler to
those who come after them, you
will almost invar iably find that
they have lived purely in the days
of their youth. In the early life,
the brain, although Astounding in
vigor, is sensitive and susceptible
to injury and this to such a degree
that brief moderate indulgence in
vicious pleasures appears to lower
the tone and impair the deli cacy
and efficiency of the br ain for life.
This is not preaching, boys, it is
simply the truth of science.

Swift Destruction.

We have sat upon the sea shore
and waited for it's gradual ap-

that He who measured it with His
hand had given it life and motion !;
and we fingered until its gentle
waters grew into mighty pillows,
and had well-nign swept us from
our firm footing. So we have seen
some of the needless youth of our
town gazing with curious spirit
upon sweet motions and gentle ap-
proaches OF inviting pleasure, and
sips, till they have detained their
eyes and imprisoned their feet and
they have been swept to destruc-
ton.
