LYNCHED AFTER TERRIBLE CRIMES A Negro Kills Two People at Augusta in a Series
 of Tragedies.
CUT WHITE W0MAN'S THROAT
ES-Convict Meets Terrible Fate at the Hands Of lrate Citizens of
 Woodruff County

Augusta, Ark.-Arthur Dean, 22- year-old negro who had just complet. ed a penltentiary sentence for as- sault. was lynched here in an old mill shed within the very heart of the city. After assaulting an old ne gress and shooting Dennis Clark, another negro, Dean entered tie home of J. T. Bostleman, white ard well respected farmer, and attacked Mrs. Albert Vaughan, daughter of Mir Bostleman. Mrs. Vaughan thought Dean was her husband until his big black hands were felt around her neck in the negro's attempt at as sault. Then she screamed, arousing the household, and the negro escaped after cutting her throat with razor and inflicting injuries that proved ia tai few hours later.
 The negro was arrested at Bald Knob after a long chase, and was brought back to Augusta, where di rectly after his preliminary examina. tion he was taken from the officers by well organized mob of white and colored citizens and dragged to the old mill shed. where he was hanged. Everything was orderly and quiet, not shot being fired.
 The negro is said to have had q grudge against Clark. who was shot while singing by his window. He got his gun and shells from the home of Tom Ligon, prosperous negro farmer, where he drove the chill dren away and assaulted an old ne gress in the absence of Ligon him. self

"l Love My Little Home Said He"

Geneyieve. Nature has marked many Jinnys for Geneyieye. if they had sense enough to keep to nature.
 And mind, tell you, if you want husband who wants his wife to be n good fellow do not marry a sport. He would prefer to have his a good moth, CT"
 And wouldn't advise Jenny or Janey or Genevieve to marry a sport. anyway! They don't all turn out to be naturally householder. Copyright, by Associated Literary Pressl

earth, she married a James who play.

earth, she married James who play ed the ponies.
 What does playing the ponies" mean? Well, little dears, it means that James thought he knew about the trot horses, the thoroughbred gee l gees, the slim, bright-coated, frisky fellows who are the first essentials in the sport of kings" which is so likely to die of starvation these days because other sports have it outclass- l ed.
 Also her James tri1ed with the ti- ger. No, dears, he wasn't a lion ta- mer by profession In fact, the tiger sometimes had him quite tame. But his real business was with the ponies. Their light feet taptapped through his waking dreams and his sleeping dreams, and quite frequently they be- came golden realities Because James was in the know.
 But when Genevieve married her James she did so after his days of taking a chance were over. He prom ised himself on his wedding day that he would never make another bet, and when James made a promise 1t was a perfectly good promise. He kept it even to his own hurt, because James was a true sport.
 Genevieve fancied, pcor child, when she married this James who played the ponies that she was going to get clear away from the Geneyieye-ness which had enyironed her maiden days and be Jimmy, just like she had l dreamed. But she found that when they went to a musical comedy and James laughed big. good-natured laugh and knew the songs right away, so that he sang them in a high tenor voice as soon as ever they got home No. he did not sing them at the show Have l not already specified that James was a true sport? James had golden tenor voice that would have made anything sound good, so Genevieve rather enjoyed the musical comedy and it's repetition at home. But after they had heard the songs and laughed their little laugh. they used to go to quiet lit tie cafe or drug store or some sim ilarly reposeful spot and have ice cream soda or ginger ale. She found that James never drank anything stronger than ginger ale.
 Like 1t? Of course, I like it well enough" when she asked him If he liked wine. "But I never did think drinking was right. And as for the women who drink in restaurants, wouldn't like you speak to one of that tribe"
 And from tne shut of his handsome mouth it was evident that he meant It. So this race horsey James never drank.
 ,No do not care for salads" said James, when Genevieve proposed add ing the mixing of real. Easculinely adored salad to her culinary accom- plishments. 'I never did care for sal ads. Just boil your cabbage in clear water and make little cream sauce for it. That and a rice pudding suit ne better than any fancy dishes"
 Another idol shattered No mixed drinks, no mixed eata' And yet he had, as he said, '.batted around" many. many years
 Then il began to be rather an ef- fort to get James to go out evenings.

ton of the public to the fact that
five wives of the men who occupied

Mrs. Sherman is the sixth in q
list OF women who have occupied a
prominent and peculiar place in the
social and official life Of the nation

And, in connection with Mrs. Stew

led to the fact that these women
constitute a circle of their own in
the social world, a circle the in

TO be regarded with universal inter

Each occupied a place of unique
