Senator T. P. Gore nearly to an end.
Judge Clark instructed the jury that
the burden was upon Mrs. Bond to
prove the allegation that Senator
Gore had assaulted her by evidence
entitled to be of greater Weight. Elk
istence Of conspiracy to secure po-
litical preferment from Senator Gore
might be proved by direct or circum-
stantial evidence, the judge declared,
nor was it necessary to prove the time
and place where the agreement was
formed.
Character evidence against Mrs.
Bond was not competent as a defense,
but only to determine her credibility.
he said He directed a verdict for
the plaintiff in event the jury found
that Senator Gore laid hands on Mrs.
Bond, either without her consent or
believing that she would consent. II

present an opportunity "to eue defend

the court charged that 1t could not be
considered as defense or "in miti-
cation of damages
All acts of conspirators not done
in Mrs. Bonds presence, should be
disregarded unless she was advised
said Judge Clark, for she could not
be held responsible for any act not in
her presence or at her request. If she
was conspirator, he said, acts OF
others might be considered her act
Unless you find defendant threw her

this morning found everything "up |
in the air." as Dick would say.
l could see that Dad was irritable; |
that MoIlie had been crying, and that |
Mrs. Waverly, ST., considered herself |
a much abused person. The trained
nurse had left the day before and
poor Mollie was nearly distracted try
ing to wait on both her father and
mother and oversee the housemaid
and the laundress who works there |
every Monday.
When l arrived they were all at |
luncheon and l noticed that Maggie, |
the maid, had a most belligerent as
pect as she brought in the waffles, of |
which Dad was very fond. Maggie is |
a splendid housekeeper and have |
often wondered why she stayed with !
the family, for Mrs. Waverly insisted !
upon her doing the entire work of the |
house except the washing and she |
was allowed very few privileges.
After luncheon Mollie told me Mag |
gle was going to leave.
81 cannot do anything with her.
She overheard mother call her "a
kitchen mechanic the other day and
it's all off.
"'She can get her own kitchen |
mechanics, said Maggie when went |
out to her. Isn't it meself that has |
shaved all through this sickness in the |
house and put up with the f1ippity |
ways of that trained nurse and now |

Just why the words kitchen me-
chanic" have come to be the badge
of ignoble servitude is unanswerable. |

use of tools or instruments.
A man is always proud of being
called skilled mechanic and as one
of the most necessary requisites to
the well being of modern life is the
cookstove, why should not the per-
son who uses it ''in shaping and unit
ing materials" into life sustenance be
employed in quite as dignified an oc-
cupation as the one who has made
the stove.
A skilled mechanic in the kitchen is
perhaps more important than skill
ed mechanic in the shop.
We must all eat to live and that
everyone should be able to do some
thing with the hands is one of the
first commands of the social econo-
mists. If there is any work of wo-
mans hands that is more important
or even more interesting than the
cooking and serving of well pro-
portioned meal it has not yet been
brought to the welfare of those who
race at heart.
you do be talking mighty fine"
said Maggie when tried to tell her
this. But it's in the manicure par
lors l can mate nice young men who
would not look at me if l told them
it was in kitchen was workin'.
Eye can be the best cook in the
world, but it won't get We anywhere
with a young man. He is lookin' fer
the girl whose hair is done in the
latest style and who can invite her
beau to meet her at the parlor of her
boarding house instead of the back
kitchen door of her employers home.
Thank ye just the same, Mrs. Wav-
erly, but I'm not going to be any kind
of mechanic any longer. It's mani
cure artist that I'll be-"
There you have it. l thought, after
talking with Maggie, we may have
wonderful high-sounding theories
about all sorts of things in a work.

the purpose of arranging joining
of their forces in the rebellion. The
meeting took place in church. The
felloW-countryman refused to join in
the rebellion, and the rebel officer
drew knife, and under the high altar
of the church stabbed him to death.
1t was done in a burst of anger
The rebel officer, rushing from the
church, said to his attendants, 81 be-
lieve l have killed him" One of his
party exclaimed, You think! l will
make sure of it," Thereupon he
made sure of it.
Perhaps this reminds you of Mex
leo and the episode of the killing of
Bolton, the Englishman, by Villa, or
by Villas orders. But it relates to
much more ancient incident. The
rebel chief was Robert Bruce, the
Villa of his day. The man killed was
John Comyn; related to most of the
Scotch Cumminses and Cummingses.
The killing of the Red COmyn was
one of the deeds by which Robert
Bruce marked his climb to the throne
of Scotland.
The killing of Benton by Villa re
minds me of this old historic episode
And they may be equally important in
history.
Robert Bruce is a great national
hero. He was the best fighter in Scot
land. Villa is the best fighter in Mex
leo. 1t may be said that Villa is a
bandit-so Benton asserted when he
went to Villas camp on the errand
from which he never returned.
But nobody can say that Bruce
was any better-he laid waste with
fire and sword the homes and estates
of those Scotchmen with whom he
was at odds.
1t may be said that Villa is false
rascal, and cannot be trusted, but
Bruce made swore fealty to King Ed
ward on the Holy Gospels, and then

CAREERS OF ROBERT BRUCE AND VILLA HAVE
POINTS OF SIMILARITY %

!
that Bruce was patriot, and that
Villa is not; but on this point the
proof now in is the heavier in Villas
balance. Bruce Warred for the indie
pendence of Scotland, not for the
benefit of the poor people of that
country, but that he might win a
throne and riches and power. The
people of Scotland were as poor and
miserable under Bruce as they would
have been under Edward or the Red
Comyn.
Villa is warning, if we may take his
word and that of Carranza, his COM
mander, not for throne, but to liber-
ate the people of Mexico and to give
the land of the country to the poor,
enslaved poems.
do not believe that we shall make
war on Mexico, or that England will
expect us to do so, because of the
possibility, or even the probability,
that Villa murdered Benton. When
the Englishman went into Villas
camp, it is hard to believe that he
meant to attack Villa. 1t looks pre-
posterous. But he took no witnesses,
so far as we know, and the evidence
will be made up by those who put
him out of the way.
1t is certain that he went seeking
quarrel-or something like that. 1t is
probable that his death was the
chance result of brawl between two
hot-headed and passionate men. 1t is
also probable that under the circum-
stances the blood of all parties will be
allowed to cool and that then a way
to settle it will be found. The punish
ment of Villa is none of our business.
We have unpunished murders of our
own.
