LET HER FACE ALONE

Dean Collins in Portland Oregonian)

Announce that the ladies must appear
With dinky little lids about the size

They have tied the can to the old style
Peach basket effect and the Merry
Uid.
But. oh. the feature that gets my goat
Is the calm remark insthe fashion note,
If the 1ady's face doesn't fit the bonnet
They'll turn loose the reconstructors
on II,
Till the feminine phiz becomes the hat
Right here, / swear. IL gets too thick,
And I rise right up and prepare to kick
How should I know my lady dear
II she altered her face four times a
year?
You can change her figure in every
But one must object when you change
her face.
You may go the limit from hoop to
hobble;
Cinch in her ankles to make her wob-
bic
Danish her hips till her form seems far
Less like a girl than a thin cigar;
But here I beseech you have the grace
To leave her cute little nose in place
Given the new style, soon Wen hear,
Ladies will not wear chins this year.
Because we find they do not go well
With the style of hats that We have
to sell.
Ears viii be obsolete next fall
And noses win have no place at ALL
So here I hasten to come to bat
And raise a howl at a scheme like that
Shift her waist1ine where you please,
From under her chin to below her
knees
But hang the milliner who would bid
Her alter her face to fit her lid.

~ are just now in the midst OF wave
of good roads construction and the
county authorities are doing their best
to improve the roads throughout their
jurisdiction. The Ocala and Dunnel-
Ion highway, formerly an excellent
road, but now one of the worst
stretches in sections that can be found
in the state. is being worked on and it
is hoped to have the road paved with
rock for its entire distance. within the
next few months. This will then af-
ford one of the handsomest pieces of
road for an afternoons automobile
ride that can be found in Florida. from
Ocala to Inverness. forty-three miles.

LYNCHINGs IN THE NORTH

How little cause the North has to
hold the South up as an example In
barbarism may be seen by the fol-
lowing statistics furnished by the
New York Times:
Northern states. and especially those
forming the Southern tier Of the terri
tory which, since the Civil War, has
continued to be called North, have not
been free from 1ynchings in that period
This was at Port Jervis on June 2,
1897, when negro was hanged by
mob for an attack on a girl. Iowa
has had one lynching as recently as
January, 1907, when a wife murderer
James Cullen, was taken from the
jail at Charles City and hanged by 4
mob.
Pennsylvania, where the latest
lynching has occurred, has one other
similar act by a mob. On March Is,
1894, at Stroudburg. negro by the
name of Richard Puryear was hanged
for the murder of a white man after he
had escaped from jail.
Delaware furnishes another instance.
At Wilmington a mob burned negro
at the stake on June %. 1903, for the
murder OF the 17-year-old daughter of
a minister.
Instances of mob violence in Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio are numerous On
Aug. 10. 1897. a tramp was killed by
a crowd of farmers in Cook county,
Illinois, for an attack on womSn
while attempting robbery. On April
26. 1908, near Santa Fe, Ills. a mob
hanged an unidentified negro boy for
an attack on a 10-year-old girl and
then. turned against negro bridge
|
eraL In Cairo two negroes were lynch
ed on the night of Nov. II, 1909. One
of them was taken after an attack on
the jail In the same town there was
| an attempt to lynch a negro purse
snatcher, but the mob was driven back
by the sheriff. One man was killed
and four were wounded. Springfield.
the capital of Illinois. was the scene
of violent race wars in 1906 and 1908.
State troops had to be called out both
times to restore order.
A case of mob violence occurred in
Ohio at the town of Newark on July
| s of last year. Carl Etherington, an
anti-saloon league detective. confined
| in the jail for shooting a saloonkeeper
| in a raid, was taken from the Jail and
t1ynched. Other lychings in the state
have occurred at kenton, April 10,
| 1891, and at Millersburg on April 2,
| 1892. At Urbana a battle was fought
with the Jail authorities. in which two
citizens were killed and nine were
| wounded when a mob took Charles
Mitchell, a negro, from the Jail and
hanged him. At Springfield on March
II, 1904, Richard Dixon, a negro, was
| taken from the Jail and ridd1ed with
bullets by mob.
| Indiana had a 1ynching of five men
| in September, 1897. In Ripley county
a mob took this vengeance on gang
| that had robbed and murdered and
for a long time terrorized the county.
Two negroes were hanged at Rockport
in December. 1900. An Evansville mob
killed negro on July 6, 1908, after a
struggle with the state militia, in
which nine white men We're killed.
