IN REVENGE
Kidnapped Girl Aged Seven Years Is
Strangled.

From Madison, Wis, is reported a
crime which is blood-curdllng. 1t
was recently reported that Annie
Lemberger, aged seven years, was
kidnapped from her bed during the
night time in her parents home
Every effort to locate the child
failed until last Saturday, when the
nude body was found in Lake Mo-
mona, near Madison, Wis.
Superficial examination OF the
body disclosed no evidence of Vio-
lence beyond a slight liberation OF
one ear and discoloration on the
neck, the latter mark indicating thai
the child may have been strangled
No weights were on the body, MOI
were the hands or feet bound III any
way.
The only motive for the murder
as far as can be developed, seems tC
be revenge upon the child's parents
by an unidentified enemy.
And to add to the horror OF thl:
crime, the parents of the child art
being held by the police on suspi,
cion. What could be the motive o
the parents?
Perhaps this is another instance
of somebody or of anybody being
held for a crime which is bafflin!

Moisture In Butter.

The best way to avoid excessive
moisture in butter is to churn the
cream at as low temperature as pos
sible until the granules are at least
the size of wheat kernels. Then after
dra wing off the buttermilk add cold
water and allow this to stand until the
butter is firm By drawing off this
wash water and allowing the churn to
drain until the granules are dry the
hard butter can be worked without
salt sufficiently to bring the water con
tent Of the finished product below 10
per cent The secret In getting the
moisture out Of butter is either to get
the granules firm and hard by clear
water, then drain off the moisture as
much as possible in the churn. or to
add salt to such hard granular butter
and then work the dry salt into the
butter as much as it is possible with
out spelling the grain of the butter.

Second Race Between Hall and
Michel.

Louisiana Democrat: If there is no
nomination in the first primary, the
second race will be between Judge
Hall and Boss Michel. Aswell is not
a political factor to be reckoned
with, but his following might hold
the balance of power between the
other two candidates, if they could
he united on either of the others
While it is safe to assume that the
country support of Aswell will GO
largely to Judge Hall in the second
race, it may be as safely assumed
that Boss Ewing and his ward will
follow the fortunes Of Michel after
Aswell is withdrawn from the race
Indeed, it is doubted that Mr.. Ewing
lean throw the vote of his ward sol
idly to AsWell In the first race.

The Earl GiIchrist Case.

Camden Ark Beacon News: Ger
tain people in the North and East
are becoming excited over the case
of Earl Gilchrist, a negro youth who
has been sentenced in the Pulaski
county court to be hanged for the
murder of another negro. Gilchrlst
and his relatives claim that he is 10
years Of age, but the prosecution
contends that he is 10. However this
may be, there is little reason to be-
lieve that Gilchrist will be hanged
and certainly there is no reason for
people outsode of the State to be-
come excited so early in the game
as the case has just been appealed
to the Supreme Court of Arkansas
and as yet there has been no hear
ing of it by that tribunal.
This case gives us another exam
pie of the inadvisability of going of
half-cocked. Recently number o.
people in the United States worked
themselves into frenzy over TIT
case of an Italian woman who brut-
ally murdered her husband in Can
ada and who was sentenced to be
hanged for the crime. The woman
was represented to be all that wa
good and the man all that was bad
as a matter of fact both were bad
but the evidence tends to show tina
the woman was equally as bad as thu
man. Her sentence was committed tt
| life Imprisonment, which is just a
well. because the execution OF
woman is not an inspiring event
even though the majesty of the Law
is behind it.

II per cent of them go irretrievably
to the bad, according to the report
of an Investigation which Mr.. Crane
lad made. Mr.. Crane has spent much

What a RIM Victory Means.

The Jackson News, published at
Jenesboro, has the political situation
in Louisiana sized up correctly. It
says: 1--WE don't expect any assist
ance from those who are profiting
by the present system, or from those
who hope for a reward under the
present conditions. But we do hope
to have the cooperation from those
who believe in the rule of the peo-
pie. It is going to be a Herculean
task to destroy the ring in this state,
but the job will not be as great as If
allowed to remain in charge of af-
fairs another four years.

About q year ago a new family

''Th' less yez have t. do with tn

having become family fixture.
Next morning when | passed the
house where the little diyils' lived
the wee one threw a crabapple, hit
ting me in the ear. Desrite the fact
that the sting nettled me l stopped
and laughingly told the boy to throw
a second apple. He did so, and [
caught it, returning it good naturedly
that he might have another try.
When l came home that night 1
saw the boys in the yard and spoke
to them. The smaller one started to
mock me, but the bigger brother
stopped him.
"Quit that, Henry; he's good fell
ler."
And for days as 1 passed I culti-
waited the better spirit in those boys.
Finally they watched for me and
| came to meet me. Occasionally I
shared a bit of candy with them or
proposed some new game. After a
time they got to dropping over to see
me and, despite Mary's protest, were
invited into my study, where | tried
