Mercer, Penn, May while being

vented from doing great bodily injury
to the woman who is charged with hav-
ing kidnapped Willie Whitla, and who
was placed on trial here yesterday

taken from the courthouse to jail with
his wife when the demonstration Oc-

The mob had been gathered for some
hours In front Of the old schoolhouse,
which is doing duty as a courthouse.
and when the woman appeared in the
custody of Deputy Sheriff Stuart a
rush was made for her, principally by
the women. There she Is! Let's hang
her! We don't need any jury!

leader.
Preacher Defended Her.
Look out! Don't come near me, or
I'll make you climb q treeT said Mrs
Boyle, quietly. why don't you &c

as final shot.
The mob swarmed round the woman
with loud, angry cries, and 1t was only
with the greatest difficulty that Stu
art, aided by several men, including
Rev. ]. s. Duncan, Of the First Pres

his way through and start on the six.

The women were most bitter, and

DISCIPLINE.
The Way Binks Tried It on His Six

The Way Binks Tried It on His Six
months old Baby.
Binks had sent Mrs Binks on a visit
to her mother, and he was on the job
with the six-months-old baby.
In the night the baby woke and
cried. Binks looked at his watch
three-quarters of an hour till bottle
time. He said to himself:
Let him yell. He's healthy little
Indian. and he must be disciplined"
Then Binks tried to sleep.
But Binks couldn't sleep. Every cry
grew more pathetic and abused and
heartsick and discouraged. Each cry
said more and more plainly: II have
no friends or relatives. I'm unhappy
and uncomfortable and want some one
to be good TO me-"
But Binks. the stubborn and stiff
necked, stuck 1t out, though each cry
stabbed him clear through.
Finally (maybe he set 1t forward a

Then that father said. discipline be

is right. anyway. He took up that
baby, and the baby stuck to his daddy
like fly paper. Further attempts to lay
him down were futile. He wanted no
food but heart food. no milk but tina
of human kindness. So the big man
laid that baby beside him on the pill
low; the baby put one rose petal hand
to his fathers stubby cheek. gave
long, quivering. satisfied sigh and slept
for six unbroken hours.
As Binks lay there. afraid to stir lest
he disturb the little one and feeling
like horse thief because he had let
the love hungry infant cry his heart
out, he repeated frequently:

TALL AFRICAN GRASS.
Beautiful soones at Night on the veIdt
When Fire Spreads.

Beautiful scenes at Night on the Ne'ot
When Fire Spreads.
Unlike n good deal Of South Africa.
Ilhodesin Ia largely wooded. In some
plnces the forests are OF value. but n
large proportion IL not valued for Its
timber The grass In this part Of
Africa grows to phenomenal height
In the valleys. and especially In the
valleys Of the Sabi and Zambezi rivers
1t reaches Its greatest height To say
that the grass Ia often twelve feet high
Ia no exaggeration. Naturally It Is
very easy to lose ones way In this
grass II one Is unfortunate enough to
stray from the beaten track. II Is the
custom there to burn this grass off
each year when II gets dry. This is
usually in August and September or
even In October. Fires burn for miles,
and as the country Is largely u wilder
ness little damage Is done by this
method Of destroying the grass. It Is
beautiful sight at night in the fire
season to see the hills for miles around
encircled with flames.
After the grass has been burned the
rainy season usually begins. and 1t is
then that the country is at its prettlest.
The grass is then green. and the foil
age on the trees is beautiful. The old
leaves drop off gradually. and the new
ones take their place before the trees
are bare. The new leaves are Of all
shades Of the rainbow. and 1t is much
like the fall scenery In this country
when the dead leaves are falling from
the trees. Waterfalls are numerous In
the mountains, and there are many Of
great height, although the rivers are
usually small in volume.-Springfleld

Corset Ancient Armor.

A French historian of women's dress
states that the corset was worn by the
ancient Egyptians. This assertion is
borne out by the figures carved on the
tombs Of women, who are invariably
represented as wearing a garment
strongly resembling the modern cor
set. There does not appear to be any
representation extant Of Cleopatra W.,
the beloved of Antony, but in one Of
the temples there is figure Of her
predecessor, Cleopatra H., in which
the sculptor has endowed her with a
corset cut on the lines Of those worn
today. Whalebone was probably un-
known to the Egyptians. but nation
