Woman's increased Height Makes Her
Superior TO Man.

I wonder II the love ideals Of wom-
snhood are changing with the sex,
which Is certainly IN a transition
state. At one time il was a rare event
fol a woman 20 marry a man much
younger than herself; now it Is a com
mon one Not SO very long ago. IN her
secret heart. the unattached maiden
rather longed for a master to whom
she might play the part OF admiring
and adOring satellite; but IN the pres
ent year of grace she prefers 70 be
sovereign herself, and to have a prime
minister who Is useful and subordin-
ate. Can this change be In any way
due to the superior inches Of the mod
ern woman? A difference must In
evitably exist between the day dreams
Of the six-foot something and the day
dreams Of fye-fOot nothing. Only the
other evening. az a concert, / was
much struck by the imposing manner
in which a very tail woman. splendidly
gowned, made her entrance into the
room. She swept in as II the whole
world belonged to her. while behind
her followed an insignificant creature
In black carrying her costly cloak. her
fan and ! don't know what else. Hon
estly, I felt sorry for him, but realized
that my pity was wasted. One could
see he exulted in his wife's magnlh-
cent appearance and his own subjec-
tion.-Black and White, London.

A Bier PIPE.
Get Ono That is Smooth inside the
Bowl. Says q Smoker.

Get Ono That is Smooth Inside the
Bowl. Says a Smoker.
A collegian who prides himself on
the sweetness and color of his brier
wood pipes and pretends to know Il lot
more about them than any ordinary
smoker spent half an hour in a tobacco
shop making an addition to his already
large collection.
Some pipes he discarded because Of
the grain in the wood. There was too
much stripe or too much %birdseye. he
remarked. When he found n which
suited him he put it aside until he had
gathered three or four which appar-
emily were all right, and then came his
final test to pick out the best of them
all.
He held each with the bowl toward
the light, then slowly rubbed his little
finger inside. Two he discarded, then
repeated the operation with the others
until only one remained out of the dis
card. That one he bought.
Want 'em smooth inside" he ex-
planned. "A brier pipe roughly I'm
ished inside the bowl isn't worth both
ering with. l wouldn't take n for a
gift; wouldn't take the trouble to try tn
break it in, for it will never be any
good. 1t won't cake up right. and it'll
never be nice and sweet.
"I've got a theory that when the In
side OF the bowl is rough all the little
edges and points Of wood char and
burn the first time you smoke it. and a
burnt pipe is no good. That's why
always take a pipe that has a bowl as
smooth on the inside as on the out.
Then it doesn't char. but cakes UP
evenly and gets good In a little time.
Maybe the theory is wrong. but it has
worked out we'll in my w experience,
and some of my friends who have tried
1t agree with me."-New York Sun.

SHE SHOT TO KILL
Mother Secures Revenge for
Negro's Assault on
Daughter.
BEGGED TO FINISH HIM.

Powder Springs, Ga, Sept. 10
Leading a posse in pursuit Of Robert
Bostlck, a negro, employed in her
house, who had criminally assaulted
her nine-year-old daughter, Mrs. Sar-
ali Reed, wife of a prominent citizen,
shot him as soon as he was over
taken.
When the injured girl told her
mother of the outrage Mrs. Reed, her
husband not being at home, armed
herself with a shotgun, formed a
posse of n%eighbors and led them to
chase the negro. He was discovered
behind a log in the woods.
Mrs. Reed called on her companions
to stand back, raised her gun and dis
charged both barrels into the negro
probably fatally wounding him. She
began to reload the gun, announcing
she would finish the negro, when the
Sheriff, with other officers, rode uE
and took charge of the wounded man
Mrs. Reed, sobbing, begged the Sher
if to let her finish Bostick, but he
told her that Bostick vas already NOR
tally wounded. The Sheriff then hur
ried his prisoner to Marietta to pre-
vent a lynching.

FEAR OF OUTBREAK.
Springfield, ILL.,, Authorities
See Another Race
War.
ILL OMENS ARE FOUND.

Springfield, ILL.,, Sept. 14,-An alleg-
ed Black Hand letter containing
threats against the life of Joe James,
the negro now on trial for the muir
der of Clergy A. Ballard, was found
in the yard of the county Jail Tuesday
afternoon. Early in the day a dummy
made up to represent the negro was
found swinging from a telephone pole
in the heart of the business district.
These two significant demonstra-
tions against blacks at this time are
causing the city and county authorit-
les to wonder il another outbreak is
about to occur.
Heads of the police and Sheriffs
forces profess to treat the matter as a
bit of humor. but claim consideration
OF the facts leads to the belief that
the situation is serious. Efforts are
now being made to discover the par
ties who hung the negro dummy.
