GOMPERS IS ACCUSED.
Charged Wkh Sending Bribe Money to Clarence 8. DsrrOw In Connection
 With the MoNamara casea-

Samuel Gompers, head of the Amerf- can Federation of Labor, sent the money direct to Clarence s. DarrOw to be used in the bribery of George N. Lockwood, according to Bert Frunklln- under cross exapination in the trial of Darrow for alleged bribery in con nection with the McNamara cases Franklin said MT. Darrow had given him the information
 Franklin testified at the same time that Darrow had told him he need not worry about Job Hartman being im- plicated in the case. Hartman, Oar row told the witness, could account for the visit to the safe deposit vault the morning he secured the S4,0O0 by the fact that he took out $500 to pay a mortgage, said Franklin.
 The conversation in which Gompers~ name was mentioned was incidental to a newspaper account purportfng to show that the S4.0O0 used fin the Lock wood case had been marked money.
 ''I asked Mir Darrow," said Franklin. If he had seen in the papers that the district attorney had traced the money from the safe deposit vault into tlpe hands of MT. Darrow and from there into my hands, also that 1t was mark ed money. He said the money was sent direct to him by Samuel Gompers-"

A Mothers Story

"A Boy Scout and my Boy" a true story for mothers by mother, appears in the Woman's Home Companion. The tme of the author is not given. It is an unusual story telling the experience of mother and her problems in train ing her son. She tells how through scout activity he and his companion were led away from rough things to finer sentiments. In closing her story she says:
 "As think the matter over I am led to believe that it is barely possible there may be grain of egotism in my eager endorsement of the Boy Scout move ment. l have often louged to tell the Rowdy's aud the 'Bully's' mother how she could train her boys, and have de sisted l have yearned to show the Braggart's mother her fragrant mistakes in the Braggart's edu ,ation, and l have felt that had no right. But now-they have been Boy Scouts six months, these three-I can see the Boy Scouts organi. zation effecting the very changes have longed to effect. can see the Bully no longer deserving of the name the Braggart become a silent and useful member of society and the Rowdy?- he Is not two feet from me as I write t; his head .benC dutifully, along with the carroty head of the Boy of my theories, over the Boy Scouts Manual, studying absorbedly certain signs and obediences which he owes to his superior officer !; as fine boy as you would care to see. He even'gets up now in manly fashion to offer me a chair when 1 come in the room. And neither his mother nor I. nor anything in our wuman's sphere, is accountable for that, but only and solely the Scout law and the grimy and much fringed Boy Scouts Manual that has been compiled and written by men who were once boys themselves, and who understand, as no wornaD eyer does or can, a boys world. If custom permitted, 1 would take my hat off to them; as it does not, l say, 'LorL bless you, gentle men -"

Be a Booster

In the siege of Ladysmlth during the Boer war a civilian was tried by court martial and sent to prison because he discouraged the soldiers who were de- lending the city.
 He was knocker.
 The man was accustomed to go along the picket llne and say discouraging things to the men on duty. He told them the city was doomed and secuted all suggestion of relief.
 He was rightly sent to jail
 In such time of stress no man has any right to weaken the hearts of men.
 It is great pity every community should not have the power to put its knockers in jail. The knocker is a prophet of evil who goes about with gloomy face and retails his forebodinRs.
 He sees only the dark side.
 Temperamentally the knocker cannot forbear to throw cold water on any ex- hibition of generous enthusiasm. He is a wet blanket. He dampens all ardor.
 He is pessimist.
 Instead of trying to lift some of the burdens from the shoulders of men he puts on new burdens instead of clear ing the pathway for progress he puts obstacles in the way. He eases no pain of sufferer, but helps to widen the wounds.
 He is & discourager.-The Greater Hartford.
