In Memory Of Hazel injury.

At the coming Of new born day
Our dear little Hazel passed away,
We tried hard TO keep her but she could no
stay,
The voice Of the Master all must obey.
Oh, Hazel, how we loved you
Oh, how hard to let you 60,
But twas God to Heaven called you,
He can measure all our woe.
1t was God Who gave you to us
For such few, short years,
And we know you're happier Hazel,
1t is hard to dry our tears.
And our hearts are sad and lonely
For your presence here we miss,
But God called you to Heaven
To enjoy eternal bliss.
What q joy she was in this life,
How much NOR at the hour of death
For to ask Gods tenderest mercy
For those she loved she'll not forget.
AS we journey o er LIES pathway
1t will make our cross seem light,
To know you're an Angel, Hazel,
To aid us In our Heavenward flight.
And our prayers shall rise unceasing
To that Great, White Throne Above,
That we all may be united
In that Heavenly Home of Love.
And " hen our life's work Is over
And the night Of death draws near,
We hope to meet our God
AS Hazel did, without fear.
A FRIEND.

MURDERS IN NEW YORK.

The members of the Connecticut legislature who took prominent part in disposing of a bill which provided for the abolition of the death pen atty may we'll give some attention to the report that there have been fifty murders in New York since January i. The World in commenting upon this condition says: I've encour age the assassin. In sixteen cases no arrests have been made; in four the persons detained were discharged. At this rate more than twice as many murderers as London's yearly total will here escape even the annoyance of a trial. Suspects are held in twenty odd cases; but as there were but twelve executions in the whole state of New York in nine months last year, the chance of the extreme penalty being exacted from any one cu1prit is small"
 There must be something the mat ter with the legal machinery in that city when so many murderers escape punishment, especially when so many are not even given a trial. That certainly is a bad feature and there is no good reason why it should be so, unless it be that people arrested for murder are not guilty and there is no evidence upon which the state can go to trial. It may . be that some of those fifty murdcrers will be convicted this year, perhaps all of tainly have been enough of executions in New ork of late to put fear in the hearts of those who may be con- tcmplating taking human life and the apparent fact that it does not have this effect is probably due more to a declination to consider the matter of punishment when the crimes are be- ing planned than to the claim that there are not moro executions. Pre- 8umably there are extenuating cir cumstances connected with Il number the penalty. It would be a pretty state of affairs if it was proposed to put to death all those who take human life without taking into con sideration every feature that had bearing on the murder. The World says that courts can do much tow ards the punishment for murder by sweeping away the legal delay and uuibbling pleas that invite crime by making it so nearly Fafe..

Let us listen to the proaise of a famous town, well justified in think ing no small beans of itself. The Boston "Cfty Manual of 1914 asserts that the city, whose first settler, Sam uel Blaxton or Blackstone, in tho latter form commcmorated by a re- %pectable river, used to caper bull back along the Shawmut strand, is:
 First in value of property per cap ita, first in municipal assets per capi- ta first in banking power per capita, the first shoe and leather centre the first wool market, the second import ing seaport, the second textile centre, third in amount of bank clearings, the fourth postal district, fourth (close to third) in total assessed val uation. firth (close to fourth) in pop ulation, the fifth exporting seaport and seventh in the value of its manu- factures.''

This Baby Rides High.
(NeW York Herald.)

The average of infants in the hotels of Broadway and Fifth avenue is not one per cent, but even their calls pre- sent no problem to information clerk in the Knckerbocker. Men who have taken telephone calls from Chicago to hear an unidentified woman's voice on the wire asking: "Where is my hus- band?" promptly replying: "On his way home," are not easily surprised.
 "Please send me a baby carriage" :" by telephone from an apartment in the Knickerbocker yesterday did not jar the information clerk.
 At once, madam" he replied sup pressing his promptings to make a cautions inquiry: touring or limou- sine ?"
 In q moment he had learned that Mrs. Burton Cragge, of Winston Salem, N. C., had arrived with the prettiest baby and the call was from her room. There was no baby car liage in stock at the knickerbocker, but one was ready for Baby Craigge before the baby was ready for it.
 . Gan I have if sent to the roof and give the baby an airing there?" came anoter inquiry. There never had been T baby on the roof, but the possibilities were instantly canvassed and found spacious. Baby Craigge and Mrs. Craigge had their outing in the bright sunshine far above the street.

letter to The Times, he says that while
 the harbors of Belgium must be se-
 cured by some practical means against
 British Or French invasion, and while Antwerp is most essentially a German
 boll, the German attitude would probably be not to make any attempt 70 place Belgium within the German empire. The real significance of th1s declarat1on, says a strong supporter of the Allies, writing to several New
 ork papers, is that pr. Dernburg Fnows that the hold of the German forces on Belgium is becoming daily more precarious, that it is now only a matter of weeks when the German
 France and Belgium will find it neces-
 sary to fall back to more secure
 positions inside the boundaries of
 Germany. Such being the outlook, as
 Dr. Dernburg we'll knows, he would
 wish to have it appear to the Amefl- can public that the abandonment or
 Belgium territory is an act or gen. crosity instead of being dictated by that rule of necessity which the Ger man chancellor falsely invoked as good and sufficient reason for the in N.tsion of Belgium
 On the other hand, friend of Germany writes to the New York 1 Evening Post to say that as long ago 1 aus last September he had an interview ! with a high official at the German 1 foreign office in Berlin, in the course l of which the probable outcome of the 1 war was discussed. Then and there, 1 hc asserts, in the presence of a busi- | ness associate of mine, the fact was 1 st ated that Germany did not intend to retain possession of Belgium, because l there was no desire to try to assimi- l late an alien and foreign population. l evidence in the same direc- i ton is furnished by pr. Dernburg's ! article of last December, 1 Tn which he makes statements similar 1 to those given to our press a few days ago.
