"Who set them free? Who has per.
mitted the president. of this commit.
tee to shake on the shackles and
come forward as a free man? Was II
anyone in the state of New York? No

/ may be blinded by craftsmanship, but,

Meeting with Evelyn.
Resuming his address after recess,
Mr.. Littleton came to the point Of
Thaw's life where ne met Evelyn Mes
bit. He condemned District Attorney
Jerome for his treatment of the young
woman on the witness stand.
II don't know what the judgment Of
you gentlemen may be as to her NOR
ais or as to any representations Of
conduct either with Stanford White
or Mr.. Thaw," he proceeded, "but the
district attorneys manner toward her,
In my judgment, exceeded anything
she deserved. z
There was always the note Of bit
terness in his expressions to her and
in his comments upon her before this
jury, which was not justified by the
facts Of this case. It has come to
me that MI. Jerome has been more
intent upon discussing this woman
than proving that Thaw was sane.
IF l were the district attorney and
had no other testimony to destroy a
young woman than that Of a miserable
little convict, the very vermin OF the
New York bar, I would hesitate a
long time before asking IL Of my fell
low citizens to hear the testimony OF
a perjurer whom I convicted myself.
''They will tell you she vas immor-
al with Thaw. Let him who is with
out sin cast the first stone. Why, Of
all the community, should she be
picked out and held up to scorn-this
girl whom Thaw loved and who cor
secrated that love with the sacred
rites Of marriage"
Judge Her Gently.
Mr.. Littleton asked that young Mrs.
Thaw be judged only by what had
been proved against her and by the
manner in which she was reared, with
out the protecting hand of father or
brother lifted one in her behalf.
Continuing, he said:
What was there about this young
woman or against her that Mr.. Jerome
should pace up and down before her
like he was a Gagged lion when he was
questioning her, and glare and glare
at her, and clinch his teeth at her
not even sitting down when I raj con-
Quoting the examination-what was
there about her that called for such
treatment from a man who could cod
die and hug and vouch for this loath-
some little Hummel? ] do not want
to be unfair to Mr.. Jerome-we are
very good friends. / do not I repeat,
ask you to take my view Of him. Judge
for yourselves"
MI. Littleton said Thaw's letters to
Anthony Comstock, his will and the
codicil all were evidence Of the men
tai disorder.
Coming to the events Immediately
preceding the tragedy, MI. Littleton
said there was increasing evidence Of
a maniacal outbreak, but nothing tc
indicate the contemplation Of murder
AS to James G. Smiths testimony con
corning Thaw's rational conversation
in Maidstone Square Garden, Mr.. Lit
Teton said It was unreliable to say
the least, but could be pardoned be
cause Of the feeling of bitterness en-
%tertained by the brotherin-law Of
White.

THE MIND OF A RACE
Progress on the Road to knowledge

we condemn is our own past and our
own former ways and days that in NOV
ing upward we have left behind us.
All persons, whether white, black or
yellow, may be considered members of
one vast family, which has proceeded
along various lines of development or
has reached different stages In growth
and maturity. AS the various sons
and daughters of any family in Chi
cago will be further along at the age
of 6 than they were at the age OF 4,
and at 90 than at 10, so it is with the
various races of the earth in the differ
emit periods which mark their develop
ment.
Vieo, one of the older Italian histo-
ri ans. formulated a law to the effect
chat every race must go through the
same experiences in order TO reach its
full development At one time it was
believed that since all nations had
practically the same proverbs-such,
for instance, as can ounce of proven
ton is worth a pound of cure -
these proverbs must have had their
origin in one common source ana
spread from it around the world. 1t
is known now that the human mind and
human experiences are essentially the
same all around the world; that the
mind responds to the same feelings
everywhere and that proverbs, far
from being borrowed by one nation
from another, were invented by each
nation separately as it passed through
the experiences these proverbs express.
cat one time,'' says Prof Thomas,
students of mankind, when they
found myth in Hawaii corresponding
to the Greek story of Orpheus and
Eurydice or an Aztec poem of tender
longing in absence or story of the
deluge, were wont to conjecture how
these could have been carried over
from Greek or Elizabethan or Hebraic
sources, or whether they did not afford
evidence of a time when all branches
of the human race dwelt together with
a common fund of sentiment and ira,
dition. But this standpoint has been
abandoned and it is recognized that
the human mind and the outside world
are essentially alike the world over,
that the mind everywhere acts on the
same principles and that, ignoring the
local, Incidental and eccentric, we find
similar laws of growth among all pee
pies. y
1t is much the same, to go back on
our tracks, as if all the members OF
one family in Chicago were to start on
a journey around the world and on
coming together at some central point
were to compare notes and discover
that they had met with essentially the
same experiences. the distance travelled
alone marking real differences.

THE SOUL OF THE HOUSE.
By Burgess Johnson.


Locust timbers, brick and stones
Are its bones;
And [ saw them wrought together
In the keen autumnal weather,
Joint by joint and bone by bone to fiji
a plan,
AS sages build of fossil forms some I'M
remembered man.
Lath and shingle for skin
Clad it in;
And it took on form and. feature
As of some familiar creature,
Standing silently in dull, repellent
guise,
And soullessly it looked on me from
staring window-eyes.
My own soul-seed, deep in earth
At my birth
Lay as hfeless and as hidden.
BY the sun and rain unbidden,
Until Love has fed it smiles and tears
and TOLL
Then green and gracious buds of it
came forcing through the soil.
So my house there reared its head
Cold and dead,
With chill to inger always
Till Love breathed along its Railways,
Laughed and wept there, toiled and
dreamt there in the gloam;
Now those window-eyes are Drumming
with the wakened soul of Home.
