A Woman Homicide.

The great volume of publicity given
to the Becker appeal has obscured
the case of another homicide which
has also been brought to the COVER
nor's attention with a very different
result than that anticipated in re-
gard to Becker. We refer to the case
Of Mrs. Madeleine Ferola. an Italian,
convicted of murder in the first de-
gree and sentenced to death. Mrs.
Ferola killed a man who first wrong
ed her. refused marriage and coupled
the refusal with a peculiarly gross
form OF insult. The governor. after
listening to the petition of number
Of women. commutes Mrs. Ferola's
sentence to Imprisonment for life.
No amount Of reasoning can justify
Mrs. Ferola's crime. 1t was delib-
crate murder. In the strictly legal
view of the case she deserved death.
Yet we doubt II many people will
condemn the governor for his eXer-
else of executive clemency. We seem
to have reached point in the ad-
ministration of criminal law in this
and not a few other States where 1t
Is no longer possible to convict a
woman who has either social stand
ing or money, or both, of capital
crime Juries are developing IAN "a
traordinary sentimentality which
apparently nullifies the impartial
purpose of the criminal law This at
titude is wrong, but it prevails. and
while it does prevail the exceptional

Of those former days when tomatoes
were called 'loveapples;" when nspara-

Happily opinion has changed on this
point and we now know that no moro

its allied branches. Watermelons. rnusk-

The smell of the salt, and the sting
of the spray in my face,
The song of the wind in the lonely

And the lure of lim!tless space;
The CLINT of stars in the tropic night,
And the glorious gray of the dawn

The splashing of waves by the cleav-

Ard the screcch of gulls fiyinG by;
The sights. the sounds, and the mys-

room for an educational campaign

the boys clubs and settlement

Shops

- NE of the l0-cent stores Is
selling a saucepan that Is
~ a most convenient size-just
about halfway between the
tiny ones that will just hold one egg
and the larger ones that are about
seven inches across. For a camping
party or well-equipped kitchen it
will be found equally useful. The
price Is cents.
A word of warning should be given
to any one purchasing kitchen ware
nowadays. A number of the manu-
metal Is kept from rusting by thin
coat Of shellac. which may be easily
removed by hot w"t"- and some sort
of washing powder. Unless this Is
done first Of all. the first batch Of
cookery In your new saucepan may
taste rather peculiar.
The loveliest of huge crepe paper
butterflies are to be had at one F
80 cents each. They are made in
all sorts of dainty colors. such as
pink. blue. yellow. and green. with
heavy gliding and realistic beady
eyes and antennae.
The same store sells large sun
flower fans of shaded tissue paper
for 10 cents. They fold into very
small space. yet are most gorgeous
when unfurled.
