TIME TO STOP IT.

1t surely is time to stop this un.
wisdom and horrible anarchy Of
lynching, so common in this country.
The record for 1915 shows that there
were sixty-nine lynchings in this
country last year OF those lynched,
fifty-fve were negroes and fourteen
were whites. This is eleven more
whites than in 1914 and six more ne
groes than for the last year. In at
least four instances, it is said that it
afterwards developed that the per.
sons were innocent of the crime for
which they were lynched.
3 Fifteen per cent. of those lynched
were charged with rape, seventeen
were lynched for murder, five whites
and twelve negroes; for killing off,
GERS of the law, nine, three whites
ind six negroes; wounding officers of
the law, three. Lynchings occurred in
the following states Alabama, 9: Ar.

soon wound herself about the heart of
the overworked landlady, just as she
did with most people she set herself
out to like and win as warm, loyal

night, learned that Mrs. Wixon had
been compelled to go to bed with

Well, Hector Blaine deserves his
eighteen hundred a year if steady
work, punctuality and strictly bust
ness methods count for anything"
Thus was Blaine discussed His rise
in the Office of the big Roscoe plant
was somewhat phenomenal. He was
modest about it, withal. He had lived
at a cheap but perfectly respectable
boarding house while earning all the
grades from ten dollars a week up. He
made no variation in his method Of
living now.
Hector had come to the city two
years previous fresh from wholesome
home training, and that influence
counted. The fellows" hailed him as
a possible new recruit tc their reck-

them sorely He was not mean or
stingy. He Clipped in" on any gen

dissipation, however, was comprised
in treating his roommates to some
homemade currant cordial when they
felt like celebrating. The result was
he was dubbed "a mothers boy" and
was proud of it.

brought in the goose grease for my
sore throat / don't understand how
you come TO know all these things.
-Oh, I've read lot, you see" ex.
planned Geraldine. with quiet twinkle
in her eye. She, by the way. had
heard of the active horror of Hector s
mother as to city girls"
The blow" fell upon Mrs. Blaine
at last with stunning force. She
received a boyish heartsome letter
from Hector announcing his marriage.
The boss" had made the happy new
~ married pair handsome present,
and had given them two weeks vaca-
ton.
Geraldine wishes to pass our hon
eymoon with you, dear mother" wrote
Hector. and we will be with you
Thursday evening"
Affairs came about, however, that
they could get away day earlier. 1t
was Just dusk Wednesday evening
when bride and groom arrived at Hec-
tors little home town.
Why, there's no one at homei" ex-
claimed Hector in vast surprise as
they reached the house to find it dark
and deserted He ran over to a
neighbor to discover an amazing fact.
Mother was downtown at the dress
makers getting her new silk dress
She had not expected Hector and his
wife till the following evening.
"Oh. Hector" suggested Geraldine,
cant We get into the house some
way? And can't | get supper all ready
so that when Mother comes home we
can give her surprise by having it
all ready for herr"
Ten minutes later, big calico
apron covering her dainty form, Ger
aldine was absolutely queen Of the
kitchen. Her eyes were like two dia-
monds amid the excitement of the
occasion, her cheeks resembled dam
ask roses. Lost in admiration, Hector
stood entranced.
Why, this will never seem like
home again if you are missing from
the picture." he enthused. What
would mother say"
How Geraldine hurried, How glad
she was when half an hour went by,
an hour. a whole hour and a half
without interruption. By that time
she had fresh. crisp biscuits, cake,
a custard, the meat, the vegetables
all cooked
Hector came rushing in from the
street where he had been watching
out.
She's coming he announced.
Quick. get the surprise ready"
Mrs. Blaine, observing lights, rushed
into the house. One hug for her be-
loved son, and then she stared at the
groaning table
''Who-did-that?" she voiced in
profound amazement.
My wife-Geraldine,' replied and
introduced Hector at one and the same
time.
"A farmers daughter" futtered
Geraldine-"but / never told dear Hec.
tor"
And she pitched right in." added
dear Hector and wanted to give
you a surprise"
Mrs. Blaine sat down family. She
studied the table with the critical eye
Of long experience Her glance next
rested on the trim. dainty, blushing
girl. 1t was full OF love.
"Oh, do l please?" quavered Gerald
inc.
You sweet little housekeeper,"
cried Mrs. Blaine. and she opened her
arms invitingly. welcome. thrice vel.

Convictions Alone Count

Back of eloquence there must be
lofty conviction. Many men are high
minded, but they lack the power to
express their feelings. The convic-
lions are the oxygen, and power of
expression is the hydrogen. of public
life.
