MAN DENIES HE'S
HOME WRECKER
Tom Jenkins Stammers Pitifully in
Explaining He Was Merely Friend
of Mrs. Sharp.

Tom Jenkins, accused OF being a
home wrecker, came all the way from
Akron, O., to get on the witness stand
in Judge Phelan's court. He came OF
his own accord, to clear woman's
name, and, incidentally. to save his
own. He told his story at Wednes-
day mornings session in the trial OF
William III. Sharp, former waiter,
charged with q murderous assault
upon his wife
The witness Is a stammerer and his
case is pitiful His every utterance
10 physical struggle. His entire
testimony was hating and 1t was only
by a supreme effort that he man
aged to tell his story
He came to Detroit year ago last
Labor day to attend a school for
stammerers, and became boarder In
the Sharp home. He admits his
friendship for Mrs. Sharp, but denies
any misconduct.
Jenkins doesn't look the part OF
an affinity or a home wrecker, and
his affliction makes his chances OF
winning women's hearts even less.
All through the case. the defense
has accused Jenkins of breaking up
the Sharp home by his attentions TO
Mrs. Sharp. Sharp himself declared
that he met Jenkins and his wife on
Bots Blanc boat one day.
He also accused Jenkins of sitting
on the side of the woman's bed in
St Mary's hospital and holding her
hand. Jenkins admitted calling on
her in the hospital. but says his In
terest was purely that of a friend.

A very important influence upon
history must have been exerted by
various forms Of disease. The black
death OF the Middle Ages Is supposed
to have had much to do with the
making Of modern England, the early
failures on the Panama canal were
largely due to malaria fevers, and
the tsetse fly disease of horses has
greatly Kindred the colonization Of
parts Of Africa. That malaria was a
Leading factor in the decline and fall
Of Greece and Rome is Q conclusion
a year or two ago by w. n. s. Jones.
The theory has been confirmed and
developed by a further study Of
ancient writer's, and II Is thought to
be pretty certain that there was little
malaria In Greece before 500 b. c.,
and the rise Of charms and other su-
perstitious practices are looked upon
as possible results Of spreading mala-
ria. Just before the final triumph Of
Rome the character of the Greeks
changed, and they lost courage and
ambition, cared only for pleasure
and became cruel. brutal and Vicious
this change being largely traceahie
to the ravages of malaria. That the
disease soon brings loss Of '.,igor and
moral sense has been we'll proven.
The effects in Rome are more uncer-
tain, but malaria appears to have
reached the country by 500 B. C..
and to overspread it before the end
of the republic, greatly affecting the
life OF the people, though it may not
nave been one of the causes Of the
fall OF the empire.

FACT0Rs WORK AGAINST

There are three great elements that
hSve produced the "dry" moyern .nt
says The Delinestor for January--the
oryanised temperance forces. the doc.
eoss. and tho empioyers Of labor. The
tsmpsrance people have been the
moral force. the doctors the scientific,
the employers the economic.
The result is dry belt, which is a
thing absolutely new In history. Per-
haps some people can remember

the little round-faced boys of the

Wei. North Carolina gave sixty thou
sand majority against prohibition In
1851. In 1908 she gave forty-four
thousand majority for 1t. The boys
had grown up.
The movement against intoxlcants
mas changed Its name three times.
First II was temperance" then pro
hioition." Now comes the new word,
'Anu-saloon." 1t exactly represents
the present phases Of the movement.
1t Is no longer dealing with individ-
uais. whether children or drunkards
IL Is voting to exterminate the sa-

numbers OF moderate drinkers must
have Joined.
IL Is not possible to believe that
some OF the majorities In the dry ter
ritory were composed entirely of total
ubstainers. This is a curious and
significant fact. No moderate drink
er joins temperance society or the
Prohibition party. Only total alb
stainers entered those. But there
must be thousands. perhaps millions.

loon movement. They, are not teeto-
taiers. but they are anti-sal loonists.

SINAI AND CALVARY.
BY John Hay.

There are two mountains hallowed
BY majesty sublime,
Which rear their crests unconquere
Above the floods of time.
Uncounted generations
Have gazed on them with awe
The mountain Of the gospel,
The mountain of the law.
From Sinai's cloud Of darkness
The vivid lightnings play,
They serve the God Of vengeance.
The Lord who shall repay,
Each fault must bring its penance,
Each sin the avenging blade,
For God upholds in justice
The laws that He hath made.
But Calvary stands to ransom
The earth from utter loss
In shade that light more glorious
The shadow of the cross,
To heal the sick worlds trouble,
To soothe It's woe and pain,
On Calvary's sacred summit,
The Paschal Lamb was slain.
Almighty God direct us
To keep Thy perfect law!
o blessed Saviour, help us
Nearer to Thee to draw
Let Sinai's thunders aid us
To guard our feet from sin
And Calvary's light inspire us
The love of God to win.
