Hurl Negro From Window of Court
Room in Dallas, Texas.

Dallas, Texas. A mob, led by an
old negro, burst into the court room.
in which Allen Brooks, an aged negro.
charged with criminally assaulting a
two-year-old white child, was about to
be sentenced. Brooks was seized and
tossed through a second-story win
dow, breaking his neck. His body
was dragged through the streets by
men, who hanged it in an arch, high
above the heads of the crowd.
With it all, hardly word was spo.
ken, not shot was fred. Above the
dull murmurings of the mob could be
heard the aged negro's trembling
prayers for mercy. After Brooks was
hanged Dallas for nearly three hours
was in the hands of the rioters.

A Last Appearance.

We were turning the pages of the
current issue of an illustrated maga-
zine, and we came upon an illustrated
joke. A guard opens the door of a
railway carriage, in which young
couple are seated, and says, En-
gagged" The man replies that they
were married that morning. We will
not attempt to explain it, but we inn
mediately had conviction that we
had seen that joke before; it was ac-
companied by the feeling that we
should not grieve if we never saw it
again.-Black and White.

why There Are No Fresh Eggs.

We are aware that when fresh eggs
come rushing from the farms in enor-
nous quantities they are promptly
shot into cold storage just as they
come, while the stale eggs, already
in storage, are put out to the GUS
toners. The fresh eggs are whisked
out of sight, so as not to "break the
market" There is an abundant nat
ural supply for the season, but be-
cause it is withdrawn from the con-
sumers the artificial shortage is MAIN
tanned, with relatively high prices
and for stale eggs in the fresh egg
season.-New York Press.

 The profusion and variety of election posters supply another indication of the tinge of holiday spirit in the attitude of the British public toward its political contests. Election posters do not merely represent an attempt to put forward par ty arguments in the most vivid and con- centrated shape, but they are sign of the natural aptitude for questions of gov ernment, which enables them to be treat ed easily and with free humor. The cleo ton poster Is simply hardy outdoor va- riety of that typical English product the political cartoon. For the successful vogue of the cartoon it is absolutely necessary that 1t shall observe certain limits of con slderation and restraint. These limits are regulated almost automatically, if the cartoonist is inspired by the principle of fair give-and-take which is the vital spirit of all games. The boundary of restraint is more apt to be overstepped in the stress and heat of an election campaign than at other times, and there are noto- rious recent instances of election posters which have excited grave resentment. But 1t Is certain that malevolent or vio- lently misleading posters are very double edged weap pons; and there is a prevailing recognition that a partys cause is best served with the public by keeping it's posters free of offence. An abundant sup ply of posters is popularly regarded as one of the most cheerful features of cleo tion time; and their appearance brings a wave of interest and excitement even to the remostest country village. What ever may be the precise amount of truth in the occasional complaints that a gen. eral election is bad for business. it can hardly be doubted that the abundance of election illustrations tends to depre- ciate the effect of the ordinary commer- cial posters, among which they are scat tered on the hoardings There is a piquancy in their metaphorical imagery which is lacking in the directly assertive methods employed by most commercial firms; while the mere juxtaposition of the commercial poster Is apt to be re- sented as a grievance by the minimizing spectator, who has spent some time in endeavorng to extract a profound polit- ical lesson from some gay representation. which he eventually discovers 10 be an advertisement of beef tea or egg pow der.
