Responsibility For Many Killings

TIME recent instance of young
woman shooting her mother in
a sleeping car because she
thought her robber IS full of mis-
fortune for the young lady, and full
Of suggestion for the rest of the
population.
Whenever there is revolver
handy, the chances are many to
one that some one will get hurt, if
not killed. And some one else.
without evil intent, will become the
murderer OF fellow being.
Why Do We Need Them?
The sale of liquor as a national
menace has so impressed the Amer
lean people that many Of them are
neither Republicans nor Democrats
they are not even Bull Moosers.
They are Prohibitionists.
Fairly satisfactory laws govern
the sale of poison But it seems
absolutely easy for men, women
and children in most communities
to buy firearms, and TO MAIN or
kill through ignorance, misunder-
standing or intent.
Why do we need firearms?
We do not need them-at all
events, in domestic life.
The army and the police make
bad enough use of them at times.
The hunter often shoots his friends
head off, thinking he is bagging a
moose. 1t is all strange common
tary on the Sunday preachment on
Thou shalt not kill"
ID ERHAPS the international peace
L congress has discussed this
question Of the amateur and the
gun. But If it has the reyerbera-
ton Of its oratory on the subject

has become well-nigh a joke in the
recording of accidental shooting.
Might Prove Wholesome.
All historians have deplored the
shooting of Lincoln. Garfield and
Mckinley, but none of them has
commented even briefly on the
state of civilization that makes it
easy for the criminal and the in
sane to procure the means of kill
ing presidents

The man who took the girl to the

to utter the word Bohemian to her,
I'd forbid my daughter ever to look

Game of Trades.

A jolly little game for children is
called 1.-The trades" and is played in
the following manner
Each participant chooses a trade,
which he exercises in according to the
style Of the trade. The shoemaker
mends shoes, the carpenter saws
boards. the painter paints a portrait.
the laundress washes linen in a tub.
the cook stirs a cake. the locksmith
hammers a lock and the spinner turns
a wheel.
One Of the party is chosen as leader.
Then all get into a circle, either sit
ting or standing, and begin exercising
according to their individual voca-
tons. When the leader tires Of his or
her trade he OF she quickly takes up
that of the boy or girl seated to the
right. and instantly all leave off their
own trade and begin initiating the
movements Of the right hand neigh
Dor. This throws the leadership to
the player seated at the original lead
er's left, who takes up the trade aban-
doned by the first leader. If one Of
the players makes a mistake he must
pay a forfeit.

The CHILDREN
When His Whip Goes Crack!

Our good St. Nick is on his way:
His prancing steeds ar. near.
We hear the sound of the silver bells:
His sleigh is almost here.
A load of gifts is stored for all
Securely in his pack,
For he travels like the lightning
When his whip goes CRACK!
Through all the year with plane and saw
He worked in his wondrous shop.
So much there was for him to do
That he never dared to stop.
But when the gifts were all complete
They made a mighty stack.
He will surely bring them with him
When his whip goes CRACK!
Now, when we light our Christmas tree,
Oh, what a glorious sight
With countless WaXen candles lit
And burning there so bright!
Our good old friend will load it down.
There will surely be no lack.
He always keeps his promise
When his whip goes CRACK!
So hang your stockings, large and small,
Convenient in a row,
For they will look so tempting when
They're filled from top to toe.
Our generous saint will never fail.
He has a curious knack
OF giving right good measure
When his whip goes CRACK!

A thrill ran through the room. The

which fell full upon mine for one over
'whelming minute; then she shrank and
looked away, but not before the color
had risen in a flood to her cheek.
The hope which had sprung to life
under her first beautiful aspect van
ished at sight of this flush, for it was
not one of joy or surprise or even Of
unconscious sympathy. 1t was the
banner of a deep, uncomfortable shame.
But in a few minutes her features
settled into a strange placidity. undis-
turbed by the leveled gaze of a hun
dred eyes. Her whole attention was
concentrated on her brother and
wavered only when the duties Of the
occasion demanded a recognition of the
various gentlemen concerned in the
trial.
Mr.. Moffat prefaced his examination
by the following words:
MAY it please your honor, 1 wish
to ask the indulgence Of the court in
my examination of this witness. She
is just recovering from a long and
dangerous illness. and, while l. shall
endeavor to keep within the rules Of
examination, I shall be grateful for
any consideration which may be shown
her by your honor and by the counsel
on the other side"
Mr.. Fox at once rose. He had by
this time recovered from his astonish-
ment at seeing before him and in q fair
state Of health the young girl whom he
had every reason to believe to be still
In a condition Of partial forgetfulness
at Lakewood and under the care of a
woman entirely in his confidence and
under his express orders. He had also
mastered his chagrin at the triumph
which her presence here and under
these dramatic circumstances had Civ
en- his adversary. He expressed In
warm tones his deep desire to extend
every possible indulgence. -
MI. Moffat bowed his acknowledg
ments and waited for his witness tc
take the oath, which she did with q
simple grace which touched all hearts
even that of her constrained and un
reconciled brother. Compelled by the
silence and my own bounding pulses
to look at her in my own despite, ]
caught the sweet and elevated lool
with which she laid her hand on the
book and asked myself if her pres
ence here was not a self accusation
which would bring satisfaction to no
body, which would sink her and hers

meet her gaze. but the dull flush which
lit up the dead white of his cheek
showed how he suffered under this
ordeal. At me she never glanced.
