OF KEET TRAGEDY
SAFE IN JAIL AT STOCKTON

Springfield, NO., June 11.-With
four of the suspects of the Keet
murder in Jail at Stockton and two
at Kansas City it is believed that
Springfield has given up any at
tempt to avenge the murder of little
Lloyd Keet and will allow the law
to take its course. And after twelve
hours of reflection Sunday following
Saturday nights mad scene when
thousands crowded and pushed
around the public square waiting
impatiently for the return of the
possee who followed Sheriff Will
Webb with his trembling prisoners,
Springfield is glad that they never
came back.
But up at Stockton, Mo-, shortly
before midnight, there was every
semblance of a lynching Three
times Claude Piersol was swung
with a rope around his neck from
the branch of a big oak tree and
was released only when a physician
said it would be dangerous to keep
him suspended any longer. He was
unconscious and sank in a limp
heap on the ground when he was
released.

Philadelphia, June 11.-Pledges

,ces were held at Industry Kansas
May rs. -.
The minister who preached his
,uneral think must have been very
hadly misinformed as to my father S
heliaf in God and to his life, for he
never in all his talk said one kind
word about him. While my father
was not a church member or
church goer, he certainly was
good, kind man, and loved his
neighbors as himself and always
tried to do unto others as he wish
ed to be done by.
When my father was able never
saw the night too dark or stormy
that he would not get up and go
to help anyone, in sickness or trou-
BILE, and many time gave away
the last cent he had to some one
who needed it, no matter What
their religious beliefs were.
Creeds never amounted to very
much with him, it was the lie ana
deed that he thought most about,
and that is the life that Jesus
taught and demonstrated when he
was on this earth. And | want TO
saw that if that minister and every
one of us who listened to him that
day are just as ready and willing
and prepared to go and meet our
God as my father was, they VIII
have nothing to fear. My father GER
tainly did believe in the power or
God and knew God to be all power
and able to save us even from the
last enemy which is death. st. John

BY Katherine Howe

smiled a welcome They lived about
twenty miles from the big city, and
often lately his business had kept
him in town so that he had not come
home, sometimes at night. Helen
was a sensible woman, she loved her
big boy Arthur, and as he always
telephOned when detained, she had
NJ. reason to doubt that anything
other than business kept him from
her They had been married about
six years, and she reasoned that one
could not expect the lOVeTlike. atten-
tons of the honeymoon to go on in
definitely. All women want them,
but they generally have to bring
philosophy and cold logic to their aid
instead, look the situation in the
face, and not expect the impossible.
Helen had done this, and she laid the
diminishing attentions to the in
creasing demands of the practical
life
Arthur May was light-haired, tall,
and beginning to grow stout. He
was thirty-twO, and Helen had re-
peatedIy told him he was too young
to let himself get fat; but May was
not the self-denying kind, and refus-
ed to limit his food supply. He kissed
his wife in the hall, patted her cheek
and said he was glad to get home. 1t
had been bad going, blowing his way
through the snow from the station.
As he hung up his OveTcoat it slipped
from the hook, and fell. In his haste
to pick it up he caught at the wrong
end, and emptied several things from
the pocket. Helen stopped to gather
them up. One Of the articles was a
small morocco case with the name
of a weII-knOwn jeweIer on the out
side But he quickly caught it from
her hand.
Let me have that" he said, and
thrust it into his pocket.
