The Deadly Tongue.

The second most deadly Instrument
cS destruction is the dynamite gun.
The gun mere!. kills boi.es:.t the tongue
kills regulations and oftt:Iaes ruins
characters. Each gun works alone; each
loaded tongue has hundred accom-
plices. The havoc of the gun is visible
at once The full evil of the tongue
lives through all the years: even the
eye of Omniscience might grow tired
IL tracing it to its finality. The crimes
of the tongue are words of unhindness,
Of anger, of malice, of envy. of bitter
ness, of harsh criticism, gossip, lying
and scandal. Theft and murder are
awful crimes, yet in any single year
the aggregate sorrow, pain and suffer
ing they cause In a nation is micro
scopic when compared with the sor
rows that come from the crimes of tbs
tongue-William George Jordan.

Merciful Murder.

We have accepted with decent pro-
test the idea of judicial murder to sat
isfy the majesty of the law, but it Is
far cry from the taking of life as a
punishment for capital crime to the
taking of 1t merely to shorten the ago
MES of existence where the case of the
patient is hopeless. Resort to a lethal
dose of poison in certain cases was ad-
located not long ago by a man of SCI
ence. and. although his theory found
champions, the sentiment of the coun-
try was strongly against it. The ques-
ZION is again brought to the fore by an in
cident in Edith Wharton's latest novel.
where the plot turns on "merciful"
murder. No softer name can be given
TO the act of a nurse or doctor who
shortens human life in order to shorten
misery.
The law expressly declares that no
one can effect the death of another
with deliberate and premeditated de-
sign without being guilty of murder.
To place discretion in the hands of any
circle or body, whatever their relations
to the subject of the execution, would
be to invite anarchy If there is one
justifiable case there are thousands,
and in view of the number of actual
murders committed it is reasonable to
suppose that occasions would be made
for the "legal' removal of afflicted
ones whose early death might be de
sired by third party.

strength.

strength.
A number of subscriptions have al
ready come in, and today will see
more issued than any other day since
the opening OF the contest. Votes
clipped from the World are received
daily in large numbers, and many
votes which are issued on subscrip-
lions are sent out to be held in re-
serve and drawn on later, when an
absolute necessity arrives.
Vote for some young women who
is in the race; or if your favorite is
not in the list, enter her name and
vote for her. These three free trips
are going to be given to somebody
it may as well be friend of yours
as the favorite of somebody else.
Make it your determined effort to
see that the woman of your choice
is successful 1t will not cost you
much and it will mean a delight to
the young women who win.
The offer of sending these young
women to Alaska includes transport
tation both ways and accOmmoda-
lions while enroute. We make this
offer not only to help those who could
not go otherwise, and who, perhaps,
would never think of the trip, owing
to the expense of it, but also to help
build up our circulation. 1t is fair
proposition that works both ways.
1t will surely be worth your time and
effort to see this beautiful northern
country. All trips such as this one
are an education in themselves.
Make up your mind right now that
you are going to be one of the lucky
ones and strive to attain that end.

All the hOnors reaped by Roosevelt
in his crusade against race suicide are
likely to be wiped out by the Teddy
bear fad, which teachers and others
declare is destroying the maternal in
stinct and making idlers of little girls
who were formerly devoted to dolls and
kept their fingers busy making clothes
for them. 1t is sad to contemplate the
mischief which a popular man does
when he refuses to keep in the middle
of the road.

Montaione on Death.

| have often considered with myself
whence it is that death should appear
less dreadful in war than at home in
our own houses. | believe in truth
that it is those terrible ceremonies
wherewith at home we set it out that
more terrify US than the thing itself
the cries of mothers, wives and chill
dren, the visits of astounded and af-
fiicted friends. the attendance of pale
ard blubbering servants, dark room
set round with burning tapers, our bedi
enyironed with doctors and priests, in
sum nothing out ghostliness and horror
round about Us. We seem dead and
buried already. Happy the death that
leaves us no leisure to prepare thinRs
for all this foppery.

Undoubt- edly the dlrectoire style is fully eXem- piled in this model but the slit seam is woefully absent NThe skirt is. in- deed, a hipless affair, high -waistej, with the short bodice plaited upon the shoulders and finished with a square yoke of silver lace, above which rises a high collar of white chiffon. trimmed with Irish lace. Around the yoke Is one and one half inch ruffle of chiffon ,ike the col lar The grdlc is painted around the waist, with a shirred panel at the front, finished at the rlght-front side with plain rosette. The glrdle is of plain silver velvet. The sleeves are quite long, In the regulation coat sleeve style. with deep rufT1es of silver lace that extend q few inches up the back-slceyo seam, The skirt shows short lines and short train.

YARN JACKETS

 They are knitted or crochctcd by tho directions given in every knitting man ual for the ordinary habys sacquc, cx- cept that the skirt part extends all the way down, growing in width at every row Of stitches until it reaches the bottom of the froek or until it is the proper longth for an overcoat.
 These jackets are usually made in gray or white, and seldom Is another color introduced. for then the garment loses the tailored effect, which is It's chief charm
 Ii Is great relief to realize that with Q few hours work and for the cost of a few skeins of yarn warm and tubhable winter coat may he con structcd Yarn Is the snfest and most durable material of which to make winter clothes. II is inexpensive and SO much more satisfactory than cloth or Bedford cord. Besides, with all such woven materials lining Is necessary, while the knitted jacket may he worn without any lining at all and mother may be sure that her darling Is warm. Another advantage possessed by the yarn garment is its lightness. No mat ter how ample and roomy It may bc, lt will not be a weight on baby shoulders.
