The Brightness OF Life.
A thought that is winged from friend
TO friend
Doesn't seem such wonderful
thing;
Yet it carries the prayer for JOY
without end,
And IL throbs with big, friendly
ring.
A mere word OF cheer in the shadow
OF night,
When encouragement darkens the
way,
Will ilIumine our hearts with the
g.orious light
OF hopeful and sun-brightened day.
When failure confronts us and darkens
our goals,
How We long for the clasp of a
hand!
It is then that We cry from the depths
of our souls
Fer friend who can just under
stand.
\ bright, CHEEKY smile often gives me
the strength
That We lack in the vortex of strife,
For it lightens our load as We travel
the length
Of the care-laden path We call Life.
So we find, after all, that the things
We thought small
Loom colossal above all the host;
That the best of Gods gifts are the
friends We can call
To our side when we need them the
most.

History Of Frank Case.
Leo M. Frank was found guilty OF
the murder Of Mary Phagan on Aug.
Is, 1913. and sentenced to be hanged.
He was the superintendent OF the Ma
tional Pencil Company at.Atlanta. In
the basement Of which the girls body
was found by a night watchman on
the night Of April ~.
Repeated attempts were made in the
courts to obtain new trial for Frank
but without success. Efforts to obtain
a writ of habeas corpus in the fed
eral district court at Atlanta and
finally in the supreme court Of the
United States also were futile.
On the night of Juno "a, this year.
two days before the date set for
Franks execution, he was removed
from the county jail in Atlanta and
rushed to the state prison farm upon
orders from Governor Slaton, now re-
tired. The next day the governor an
nounced that he had granted petition
made in Franks behalf asking that his
death sentence be commuted to life
Imprisonment.
A few weeks ago an attempt was
made by ]. William Green. another life
term convict, to kill Frank by cutting
his throat. Franks condition was Sc
rious for some days but it was an
nounced recently that he had recov-
cred.
