could be. The husband was not ex
actly what we had expected, but
reveals manly qualities and sterling
worth that never entered into loves

AS age creeps on, grandchildren
come. We enter into their joys and
live our own youth over once more
at the same time leaning for support
on the strong arms Of their parents
the patter of whose feet was in the
long ago music sweeter to us than
the loveliest strains of Beethoven OF
Mozart, or the deepest notes OF the
organ in the aisles of some grand
old cathedral.
And at last, when old age over
takes us, we sit alone or together on
Christmas eve at our own Preside;
and all the joys of all the former
Christmas times come floating
through memory as we look back

to that greater mystery, the life to
come, with something OF the same
joyful anticipation with which our
grandchildren look for the gifts
which Santa Claus will bring. If
We are wise, we, like Abraham of
old, will expect some better thing
than can come within the range Of
our human imagination; for that
wise old man knew something of
the elusiveness of life; knew that we
were, so to speak, tholed on in life's
journey with things that seemed
greatly to be desired from the pres
ent point Of view, something that
we will never fully realize. but that
behind it all is some better thing.

Baltimore, Nd, Dec. 26.-King
Davis, a negro, who last Saturday
night shot and killed Frederick A
Schwab, (white) at Fairfield, Anne
Arundel county, was taken from the
Brooklyn, Md, jail early yesterday
and killed by mob. Davis was
chopped to death with hatchets.
The lynching was conducted with
secrecy, the town authorities hav-
ing no inkling of it until Chief of
Police Irwin was notified by news
paper carrier who discovered the
body as he was delivering his pa
pers. s1r.e.
No guard is kept at the jail at
night, and there is as yet no clue
to the perpetrators of the deed. The
front door of the Jail was found
to have been burst open and the
lock had been cut off the door Of the
cell in which Davis was confined.
The trouble which caused the
shooting Of schwab started in sa-
loon at Fairfield, over a game of
pool between Frank Schwab, a
brother OF the dead man, and Davis.
Schwab claimed the negro called him
vile names.
After the party left the saloon,
Frederick Sehwab took up his broth
er's quarrel with Davis, who drew
pistol and sent bullet through
Schwab's heart. Davis then fired
two shots at Frank Schwab without
effect, 49, H. !. ~.
The negro fed, but was arrested
an hour later. He claimed he shot
in self defense, declaring that Fred
erick Schwab had struck him.
