Of the patchwork quilt that was made

Tildy's train stopped at the station
late in the evening. A light rain beat
against the windows. The scene was
dreary enough as she peered out uD-
smilingly. but she gave start Of sur
prise at the glimpse afforded her of
Dobbin's white figure standing out
clearly through the mist. She had not
expected Dobbin. She had hoped to
reach the house In some manner. but
TO be assisted by horse 50 old and

her amazement to the young man as
they were jogging along and expressed
reluctance at making him so much
trouble. But a greater surprise await

Displaced Labor.

BY machinery one man can plane
as many boards as could have been
planed by sixty with hand planes.
"Fifty-nine men that the world does
not needi" One man can shell as
much corn in an hour as a hundred
and ten could have shelled half a
century ago. One hundred and
nine men that the world does not
want" One man and two boys
will turn out as many hanks Of
yarn as 1900 men fifty years ago.
Nearly twelve thousand men that
the world has no use for!" That is
the way Health-Culture puts the
problem Of the unemployed. But
it is all wrong. The world does
need those men; it does want them;
it has use for them. The proof is
in the fact that so many people
want planed boards and can't get
them, so many want shelled corn
and can't get it, so many want
hanks of yarn but must 60 with
out. Until every son and daughter
of Eve has all he wants, labor-sav-
ing machinery will not explain the
problem of the unemployed. The
explanation must be sought for in
conditions that prevent the men
whom the world does not need"
whom the world does not want"
for whom the world has no use"
from exchanging labor with those
who do need them, who want them
who do have use for them. The

Frankford, Mo-, March 12.-Thls
little town was filled with excite
ment over the criminal assault case
committed at the Flowers home,
south Of town .5
Miss Cora Flowers. the 14-year-
old daughter Of Charles Flowers,
claims that two negroes. Marcellus
Butler and Mert Holman, came
along the road passing her home
while she getting wood to build
the fire to prepare the evening meal
and forced her to accompany them
to a straw rick some distance from
the home and by threats of killing
her made her submit herself to
them. She says they compelled
her to remain with them through
out the night and assaulted her in
turn until daylight came, and then
she made her escape and told her
story. The neiehborhood was soon
aroused and the country was SCOUT
ed for the perpetrators of the das-
tardly deed.
Butler was rounded up in a log
cabin and kept there until Deputy
Sheriff Dick Holman had been CON-
municated with. He went immedi-
ately to the scene and placed But
Ter under arrest and succeeded in
bringing him to this city, where he
was locked up. The men in the
vicinity the Flowers home were
greatly excited and threatened to
lynch Butler if he remained where
they could find him that night.
Yesterday morning Butler made a
confession. admitting his guilt. but
laying all the blame on the negro
Holman. He was taken to Bowling
;" Green as there was considerable
Lynch talk, which was instieated by
: a neighbor of the Flowers who
promised to put the rope around
, the nesro's neck if the crowd would
say the word. There was a big
crowd at the depot to see the negro
and there was considerable anxiety
by the officers that the prisoner
. would be taken from them.
Holman. who had made his es-
Q cape, was finally captured in the
= Salt river bottoms by a special offic-
q er sent in pursuit of him and he
!. was brought to Frankford about S
8 o'clock to be held until the 6O6
