LIMIT IN STAGE REALISM |
Gruesome Scene In Gltsert's New
Sketch, "The Hooliran," Pre-
scented In London.

London.-It would not be easy to
imagine more gruesome subject for
d thatrical play than the last hours
and confession Of murderer in a
cond emned cell. This was selected
by Sir William S. Gilbert, the London
dramatist, for a new sketch, ''The
Hooligan," presented few nights ago
at the London Coliseum.
The little play, horrible, unpleasant,
begins with the discussion by the pris-
on warders Of the execution within a
couple Of hours OF the prisoner asleep
III his bed. They awake him from his
broken slumber, witness his horror
when he recollects that he has to die
In two hours, and as he dresses give
him reminiscences-to keep up his
courage of how pluckily other prison
ers had gone to their doom. The pitt
eous plea Of the wretched youth for q
reprieve, his insistent cry that he had
only intended to wound, not to kill, his
sweetheart, were realistically agoniz-
ing. His descriptions of his night

Fort Worth, Textile unwritten
law in Texas applies to women as well
as men, according to jury at Fort
Worth, which cleared Mrs. T. M.
Brooks, charged with first degree muir.
der in Staying Mrs. Mary Binford
whom she charged with trying to
break up her home. Insanity was the
grounds she was freed on, but there
was not word on insanity mentioned
In the trial. It was plain case Of the
unwritten law and 1t was enough to
free the woman
Mrs Brooks is the wife Of a Fort
Worth attorney. During the busy part
of the day of January 16 last, she
went to a large department store
where Mrs. Binford was employed
and shot her to death. She left a
prayer meeting at her own home to
accomplish the deed.
The story Of how Mrs. Brooks, al.
ways prominent in Methodist church
circles, prayed every day for two
years that the Lord would make a
better woman of Mrs. Binford, and
how, after hearing, unWittingly, a tele-
phone conversation between her hus-
band and Mrs. Binford, Mrs. Brooks
gave up the struggle and resolved to
kill the woman who had spoiled her
life, made one of the most sensational
murder trials Texas has had for years.
It was Mrs. J. w. Boyd, formerly a
next door neighbor OF the Brooks
who declared that she knew of her
own knowledge that the defendant
had prayed for the redemption Of Mrs.
Binford, change her husbands dispo-
sition and end her troubles. Mrs.
Boyd had talked to the witness fire.

quently as to what course should be-
pursued to end matters SO everybody
would be satisfied and they decided
that prayer alone could accomplish
this.
I'VE were very happy until we
moved to Fort WORTH said Mrs.
Brooks on the stand. Then she told
how Mrs. Binford came into her life
nearly five years ago. She said:
She came to my husbands office to
get divorce, and Mr.. Brooks called
me up and said: Mamma, there Is a
woman in my Office who wants me to
do little legal work for her. She
has no friends in the city and little
money. What do you say If I bring
her up tonight?
"She came That was the begin
ming. Welcoming her as friendless
young woman in strange city and
with desire to give her a good
start, / fostered the cause of my wreck

could and then killed her.

When we speak facetiously Of some
one for whom we have no reverence
as having kicked the bucket" we
employ a phrase that would seem to
be piece of latter-day slang, but as
q matter of fact, 1t dates back to old
England, when, about the year 1725,
one Bolsover hung himself to beam
while standing on the bottom of q
bucket. and then kicked the bucket
away Although at first used only In
cases of suicide, it has been applied
in the course of years to any death,
without distinction.

urge, at present, the coming in

there are already as many as can
make a livelihood and it does the
town more harm than good to ge
business men in here, then when
they fail to get enough business
to live on, have them leave and
kick about the town. What we
need is more ranchers and settler

ties up more, will be plenty OF

dents are indulging in class rows,
flag raising and cutting down,
and various other forms of class
ructions. Next thing to expect
may be a cane rush or class
pugilistic affair. The matter
started the first of the week
when members of the senior class
painted the numerals (l91D
on the belfry of the school build
ing. Not to be outdone the
sophmores took time by the fore
lock last night and floated their
class colors from the top of the
school flag pole. On seeing the
flag up this morning the seniors,
assisted by some from the lower
grades, cut the rope and brought
down the flag. This later pre-
cipitated a row between members
of the two classes and consider
able feeling was engendered. 1t
is possible further Developments
will occur tonight as each class
is determined not to be outdone
by the other. At present the
flag pole is unadorned with the
colors of either class.

AN EXAMPLE OF GOOD ROADS
BUILDING AT A SMALL COST
Adopt Right Methods, Divide Up Labor, Use King Drag
and Build Thirty-Five Miles For
Two Hundred Dollars.

~ view of the present spirit
of good roads building which is
rampant in the land, the following
experience III road construction
in the state of Minnesota in soil
said to be very much like that of
Camas Prairie, should be read
witt. great interest by our people
and the methods used could be
adopted by us with great profit.
Hon. M. j. Bowling, of Olivia,
was recently asked, by the edit
or of the University Farm Press
News, for a brief statement of
the methods so successfully used,
in Renville county, for making
and maintaining good roads. His
reply is as follows:
II will use as an example the
55 miles of east and west road
parallelling the Milwaukee road
through Renville county. When
news reached us that the Tribune
trophy would be given to the
county having the best roads,
over which the automobile tour
to Aberdeen would run, we divid-
ed this SIS miles into districts, Sc
lecting the most enthusiastic good
roads man in each district as its
superintendent. We went to the
county commissioners, who favor
ed us with a small appropriation,
which was divided equally among
the district superintendent. We
went to the village council of
each village and were favored by
them with a small appropriation
which was turned over to the To-
cal district superintendent. We
then aroused the spirit of enthus-
iasm among the village people
and the farmers along the entire
route. We also aroused spirit
of rivalry between the districts /;
and then we went to work with
the ordinary disc and harrow,
following these with the King
drag.
The entire 55 miles was thor
oughly disced, narrowed and
then smoothed by the King drag.
Sods were thrown to the side of
the road, ruts were filled and
packed, approaches to culverts
