On last Sunday, February I the
death angel entered the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Barker and
claimed for it's victim their little
son, Gordon Clay, age 8 months.
This little one was very bright
for his age. He was loved and
petted by all who knew him.
Gordon was handsome little
fellow, with fair complexion,
brown hair and laughing blue
eyes. During his illness of one
week he was not known to fret
or cry for anything. 1t was
noticeable that he never cried
except when suffering. He
never refused to take his medi-
cine, and no child ever bore pain
and suffering more bravely than
he. 1t is hard for parents to
give up their children, and
especially this one, as he was the
only child in the home; but God
says: GAN things work together
for good to them that love the
Lord" How bright heaven
ought to seem to Gordon's
parents when they think of
their little angel boy, who is
standing on the golden shore
reckoning, "come on, mamma,
papa: Pm waiting and watching
for you," and know that they
have the great privilege of meet
ing him again in the better world.
Little Gordon is not dead onlv
sleeping; and on the great Judge
ment morning he will be seen
with the angels and God and his
loved ones.
In this dispensation of an all
wise Providence may these sor-
rowing parents find comfort in
the thought that God is too wise
to err, and too good to be unkind /:
that all his dealings with the sons
of men are for the best: that
earth is poorer, but heaven is
richer: and that they have one
cord less to bind them to this
perishing world, and one more
to bind them to the world be-
yond!

upon which corn is to be
grown Immediately. Corn is a coarse
FEEDER" and is well adapted to the
utilization of plant foods that may be-
come avilable after the application of
material of this, kind. In fact corn
is doubtless the best crop to grow fol-
lowing the addition of manures, either
in the form of stable or green manures.
The best comparative idea Of the
value of manures for corn production
may be obtained by noting the results
secured by some longtime expert
ments conducted by a number of the
experiment stations. A summary OF
a twenty-fve-year experiment at the
Pennsylvania station shows that where
a good rotation under these conditions
has maintained an average yield of AZ
bushels of corn per acre an annual ex-
penditure of $5.31 per acre for com.
plete commercial fertilizers has given
a yield of only Sc bushels, but an ap-
plication of tons per acre of farm
yard manure has given an average of
571s bushels of corn through the whole
period of time. These data show that
this small annual applications OF
manure for this period of years under
these conditions increased the corn
production a little more than IS per
cent. This is worth while.

Women's Rights Long Included Right To
 Capital Punishment

While the law supposedly makes no distinction between sexes, as a matter of practice this theoretical equality no longer exists. It is rare ly that in any civilized country wo- man is convicted of first degree naur- der. and even in such eases the sem tence of death is seldom carried out. In the days when chiyalry was in flower more fair indicators were le- gaIly slain in a year than are likely to be execeuted in the next century In the United States the change in public sentiment, .condennning this prase. of I''womah's 8 rights 7 may be said to date from half a century ago, when Mrs. Surratt was sent to the galIows. along with three men, for comp1icity in the plot against the life of Lincoln. Many believed Mrs. Surratt innocent, and her sentence aroused a storm of dis sent, but all the efforts in her behalf were futile. Her execution shocked the nation, although the hanging of the male eonspirators, convicted on much the same sort of evidence, met with almost universal approbauon.
 To-day is the centenary of the hanging of woman in England which helped to make such execu- Fenning, although convicted of ad- ministering poison. was generally be- heved to be innocent, and great agitation was started in her behalf. She Qenie0 her guilt on the Scd1O10, and an immense coneourse of people took part in her funeral procession. l The death of Eliza Fenning on the l scaffold at Old Bailey on July 26. 1915, helped to. save other women from that fate, and, while many of the fair sex have since been put to death in England, such executions be-
 came very infreauent as compared with the number In the preceding century.
 Tn was the hanging of a girl which removed shoplifting from the list of capital crimes in England Mary
 Jones. a pretty 19-year-old bride, was hanged on the Tyburn gfbbet in Lon
 don in 1908. At her trial it was shown that her husband had been kidnap- ped by press gang. leaving his wife l and two children without support. Driven to desperation by her poverty, !! she entered a lined draper's shop and tried to carry away Ia piece of Iscoarse cloth. She was caught in. the act, and for this she ended her life on the gibbet. When she was about
 to be hanged her three-year- child was torn from her skirts and another
 baby taken from her breast. The l thousands who witnessed the pitiful
 scene were thrown into hysterical
 rage, and the public c1amor became 1 so great that shoplifting thenceforth ceased to be a capital crime.

WOES OF A WIFE.
Dear Miss Libbey:.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 am 21, have been married two years. My husband is in business. The money we save he takes. using it for his own benefit. have no reward for helping him. He wishes to go to Europe to visit his people and does not want to take me. Should I demand to go too, or is it better to stay here, have no children.
 DISCOURAGED MRS. c. W
 Your husband does not care very much for his business evidently, or he would not be so indifferent about leaving it. Insist upon Accompanying him abroad if he persists on going. Owing to the conditions abroad he might get into the army and that would be the last that you might ever see of him. If a man is discontented he does not care where he goes or what becomes of him. Hang on to him as long as you can.

A DISCOURAGED MOTHER.

Dear Miss .Libbey:-
 I am a wife and mother, poor but ambitious. I have a boy of 16 whom I have managed to keep at school un- til now, but now hard times have fal- len upon us, my husband having lost his employment. The question arises what to do about our boy. My hua- band insists he should learn a. trade I cannot bear the thought. I yearn to make a gentleman of him. Can you give me one cheering spar of hope to cling to or advise me.
 MRS. D. Fl.
 It is not necessary that a boy who learns a trade should follow it all his life. History recounts: John D. Rock. efeiler was once a bookkeeper, Pres ident Abraham Lincoln split rails on a farm, President Garfield drove mules on a canal, President Johnson was a tailor in his searly life, Stephen A. Douglas worked hard in his youth. Senator Palmer was a country black smith, Governor Stone a. cabinet mak- CT, and so on down a. list too long to give in this column. It cannot hurt a, boy to learn a good trade, which he could put to use in time of need. It certainly would not unfit the lad from rising higher if ambition urges him upward.

A century ago there were 222 cap ital crimes in Euglands crimnaI code. Women had been hanged for faults as trivial as giving aid and comfort to gypsies. for draining hs1- ponds, and for stealing shilling Mary Jones and Eliza Fenning, by their martyrdoFa, tu-ned the tide of public sentiment against not only ths execution of women, but against all inf1iction of the death penalty for any but the most heinous. crimes. In 1890 murder was made the only cap itaI crime in England, and there are now only four such crimes in Brit aims criminal code. In the various States of the Union there. are eleven capital crimes, more than twice "a many as in any other civilized eoun- try. In the United States more crtm= fnals are executed every year than in all other civilized nations combin= ed The death penalty has been abolished in five States of the Union. and in many foreign countries. tH- cluding Italy.

HE WILL NOT WED.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I am a young girl of P, keeping company for four years past with a young man four years older than my self He tells me he loves me and me only. but never calls me on the phone If wish to talk to him I must call him. We are supposed to be engaged. Last Sunday he called on me and told me he could not marry me as he had to keep his mother. I love him and it would break my heart to lose him. I am his first sweetheart. What shall I do?

MARRYING PROVES LOVE.

Dear Miss Libbey:-

 GERTIEs The best and safest test of a man s love is a marriage proposal from him. A girl cannot be sure that he is really in love with her until he makes such a declaration. There is no harm in per nitting friend to wear your ring if you feel disposed to do so.
