able for firmness and constancy. Both
love and friendship are gratified by
seeking the good OF the object. Love
is blind 20 the faults of the object of
its devotion; it adores. it idolizes, it
is fond, il is foolish; friendship sees
faults and strives to correct them: it

all right. Since then I have seen a

TEMPLE Tex. July 31.-Win STAN
lev. a negro arrested on charge of
numbering the three Grimes children
last Wednesday night, was taken from
the Justice courtroom at midnight and
was burned on the public square this
morning in the presence of thousands
of men and women. People had
thronged the streets all afternoon and
evening awaiting the outcome of the
examination of alleged accomplices
brought from Rogers last night.
AS the mob left the justice court
building with their prisoner number
of men and boys went through alleys
and side streets gathering dry goods
boxes with which to make the fire.
The scene on the well lighted public
square at the time of the burning of
the negro was spectacular. The mob
had chosen an open space in which to
build the pyre, this being surrounded
by men who yelled and cheered as they
showed the negro into the flames
Young Girls See Burning.
All about the streets were filed with
pedestrians and automobiles loaded
with onlookers. Trees fringing the
street on the side of the square near
est the burning were filled with boys.
~nlle scattered through the crowds
were many young girls.
When Stanley was cast into the
flames he struggled to escape, but re-
peatedly was showed back. Several men
said Stanley confessed that he did the
killing. claiming that he had been
hired to do the deed. He begged to be
permitted to live long enough to tell all
about it, but his alleged admission of
guilt was sufficient for those around the
fire. A shot was fired, which some
claim struck the struggling negro. His
struggling soon ceased and the gather
ing began to disperse. In few min
utes the square was practically desert
ed and the crowds had vanished.
Alleged Accomplices Freed.
Two negroes, said to have been men
toned by Stanley in his story told to
the officers. were apprehended at Rog-
ers and were brought to Temple, but
were released after an examination,
and told to leave town.
After the fire had burned out the dis
membered body was dragged out and
hanged to telephone pole.
Parents Of Children Beaten.
The crime for which Stanley was
burned occurred Wednesday night.
Thursday morning a neighbor calling
at the Grimes home found the three
children Of the household lying in
pools Of blood. The parents had been
beaten about the heads and bodies to
such an extent that not until yesterday
were they entirely conscious.
Today both were resting well. al
though the condition of the father is
critical.

Effect of Defeat.

THE ultimate result of these defeats
was the liberation of that part of the
ancient province of Lorraine left to
France after 1870 from the occupation
of the German army. The German
forces had penetrated fifteen or eight
cen miles They were not only driven
out before the LIST of November, but
since then the French have invaded
Upper Alsace. of which they now hold
a considerable part. This country,
taken from France in the war of 1870
H. has been reorganized and is under
control of a civil government, which
restored the school and judicial system
of France.
From the battle of Charleroi to the
end of the first year of the war the
Germans achieved no successes on the
western battlefront save the slight adj
vance at scissors during the floods of
the river Aisne, the advance at Ipres.
partially lost afterward, at the time of
the first attack with the assistance of
aSphyXiating gas.
The successes of the allies since the
battle of the Marine are in the recap
ture of Thanh. Steinbach, HartmanS-
Weilerkopf, Metzeral, La Fontenelle,
together with considerable territory in
the Alsatian Vosges; the capture of an
entire German position in the forest of
LIE Pretre, along the wedge the Ger
mans are still holding in the French
mile along front of ten miles at
Beausejour, in the Champagne country;
the capture of Neuve Chapelle by the
British, the capture of Notre Dame de
Lorette, Carency and Melville st. WAIST
and an advance of two to three miles
along a front about seven miles north
from Arras by the French. and the
clearing of the left bank of the User
of the enemy by the Belgian army.
Never Was Army So Fit
Never since the war began has the
French army been so At to continue 1t
to a triumphant conclusion as today
We have not only carried on the war
with success during the year. but we
have accumulated immense reserves of
every necessity for continuing the war
until it has been won. Our reserve
troops in depots and under training are
relatively greater than those Of the
Germans The army is absolutely con-
fident. The people. behind the army to
a man, are equally so.
THE French people, through no fault
of theirs have suffered and are suffer-
ing today, but they are equal to every
hardship, every effort necessary to
drive the war to final victorious con-
cIuSion."
