ance Tor one moment longer. Yet there are extreme
cases when such herosm ceases to be virtue, when
outraged nature insists upon the primary law of self
preservation; where the strong hand of the law must
be called upon to break the CALLING yoke of domestic
tyranny to loose the suied bond which beyond endur-
anee chafes.
But divorce, however necessary, in legal RENE
dies ranks with the surgeons knife in medicine and
the woman who seeks it practically eonfesses her
self failure in that she has failed to satisfy the

Decoration Day.

Monday is Decoration. A day
set apart, not to recall the SOL
emn sound of the drums beat
nor the patriotic airs of martial
music. nor the sound of bugle-
yea, not to recall the days of
"blood," famine and all horrors
of war. 1t is to redepict the dead
and the dying, the weeping and
mourning of "bleedlng hearts
for their dear ones-it is not a
day Of braggadocio and boasting,
victor over vanquished. Oh no.
But a day set apart for the co
memoration Of those who died
for the cause, day set apart for
alteration and honor to them that
sleep ia the silent final abode.
You may go to the silent white
city and lay wreathe over some
mound, and plant there a green
sprig, showing forth to the dead ,
the love of the living, for soon
you shall join that 'innumerable
caravan. Go out to Oak Ridge
and to every grave yard and do
them homage. They deserve t
'On fame's eternal camping

sheriff Held
For Contempt.

The United States Supreme
Court, once defeats mob's confed-
crates and ex Sheriff Shipp of
Chattanooga, Tennessee, and
five others, are held in contempt
of court.
Four years ago, colored man
named Johnson, was accused of
an attempt(?) to rape some little
girl who never positively identi
fed him, but Johnson was tried
and convicted to hang. On trial
the girl said: I think he is the
man" In the Jail the girl was
taken, johnson was kept hid and
allowed to speak so the girl could
hear him and on being asked if
his voice corresponded with that
of the man alleged to have as
saulted, or attempted to assault
her, she is alleged to have said:
"His voice sounds sweet like the
man who assaulted me-" So on
this flimsy, circumstantial evi-
dence, Johnson was hurriedly
tried and convicted; a Negro law
yer took an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court and that
tribunal granted a writ of super
sedes, but the next day the mob
hanged Johnson and the sheriff
and several others were cited for
contempt-and now they reap

One of the enjoyable features Of the

Gently held at the chess club. These
exhibitions, it may here be said, are so
named because each player Is compelled
to make his move within very short
period of time, usually ten, fifteen or
twenty seconds On the present occasion
the pace was OF the swiftest, the mini
mum being the time allowance, and as
consequence much amusement was caused
by the numerous mistakes made owing to
the speed OF the play.
These tournaments, 1t should be said,
are always of the knock OUT order
that Is, the winners In the first round pro-
ceed to the second, and SO on until only
one is left in. The victim OF faux
pas can therefore only relieve himself
by making forcible remark II he feels
SO disposed, and gracefully retiring.
A shining example OF this kind occurred
