With puns and pantomime and fun
ny stories, Lincon Mcconnell kept his
audience in uproarious laughter for
three quarters of an hour last night,
while he showed them the utter folly
and the excruciating absurdity of the
hate-bearer The hater he compared
to the man who would cherish a wasp
that stung him. keeping it always be-
fore his eyes that he might never be
without the sense of injury it had
done him, or to the yoman whose
nelghbor, seeking to insult her, had
left a dead cat on her doorstep, and
the woman, playing the enemy's own
game. brings the cat into the house
and hangs it in her clothes closet.
Hate, Weapon of Satan.
Hating and the cherishing of in
juries," Line thinks, lis the devils
own game. Your enemy, at the insti-
cation of Satan, shoots poisoned barbs
into your living flesh, and you, poor
fool, also at Satan's bidding, hug
them to your heart and refuse to be
separated from them.
Did you ever hate anybody and
watch the effect 1t has on you-on
both your body and your soul? DO
you think anything that God wanted
you to do would affect you so disas-
trously?

pert 'hater until | learned to use my

how much more essential il was to an
educated man to have good forget
terry than a good thinkery."
Leads to Suicide.
The revivalist said that there were
fifteen thousand suicides each year
in the United States and that there
would be fifteen thousand more If
people were not afraid of the here
after. He said that hate is the cause
of the most of them-hate of people.
hate of circumstances, hate of God
and his world.
'lf there is anything | do feel badly
about" said Doctor Mac. 1t is an
aching heart. 1t is terrible because
God has given us everything essential
to happiness. Why Is there so much
aching unrest so much discomfort, so
many embittered people? People go
seeking the undesirable. the unattain-
able. Not content with what life has
given them, they use what they have
as a ladder on which they climb to
survey the possessions of their neigh
Dor on the other side of the wall. Hap
piness is within you. 1t don't make
any difference about how much water
there is outside the boat and all
around you, it is what gets inside that
will swamp you"
Keep the heart with all diligence
for out of it are the issues of life"

they could no more put hate out Of
their heart and find happiness unaided

whether one would want to use what he
lad and trust to Providence for more, or
by using sparingly what he has make 1t
last longer.
Mr.. Perkins said that 1t would be i'm
possible to close the High school for the
afternoon and do efficient work.
Frank Brown asked Mr.. Boutelle if any
measures have been taken by the public
defense committee to close non-essential
places such as ciubrooms and places Of
amusement. He said he felt that these
places should make the first move in
stead of beginning with the schools.
Mr.. Perkins said that they could cur
tail slightly on the amount Of coal by cut
ting out evening sessions of any kind.
He stated that there was sufficient sup
ply of coal in all the schools to last three
months except in the High school. About
GOO tons are needed in all, half OF hard
and half of soft coal
Mr.. Boutelle and Mr.. Frel withdrew
and the regular business was taken up.
Mr.. Perkins announced that from now
on he would keep a list Of furniture to
comply with the insurance regulations
The question of recommending ene school
children 10 put their savings into war
stamps instead Of putting the money into
banks was discussed.
IL was voted that the Board of Edu-
cation. realizing the great need of the
conservation of coal supply, assures
the committee on Public Safety and
Defense that they are using and will
use every means to conserve the city's
supply of fuel in the running of the
schools in 50 far as they can do this
without impairing the efficiency Of the
schools and further believing in the
supreme Importance of our schools they
urge that.a persons using a fuel sup
ply for less important purposes be
urged and required to curtail the use
ofs fuel before any curtaiiment is ure-
ed which will impair the efficiency of
our public schools.
1t was voted to approve the basket
ban schedule subject to the condition
that no extra fuel for heating the build

REPR|EVE OR PARDON
Alone Can Save Former
Portland Man from
GallOWs

Concord, N. H., Dec. 26.-The state
supreme court today overruled the ex.
ceptions of counsel for Frederick L.
Small sentenced to be hanged on Jan
Is, 1918, for wife murder, and refused
the plea for new trial.
The only way in which Smalls ex-
ecution can now be delayed, so far as
had been indicated this morning, is
through an appeal to the governor and
council for a reprieve or pardon.
In the opinion Of the supreme court
written by Judge William A. Plum
mer of Laconia, all the justices con-
CURED. mo important or Difficult,
questions Of law are presented by the
exceptions" the opinion begins. Study
of the record OF the evidence before
the jury leaves no room for question
as to the legality Of the action of the
trial court in invoking the Judgment
Of the jury"
The introduction Of the head OF
Mrs. Small was competent evidence OF
the cause Of the murdered woman's
death, the court rules. and there is nc
evidence that the head was shown In
court for an improper purpose. OBJ
]ections to other evidence agains,
Small and to the language describing
the prisoner used by Attorney Gen.
eral James A. Tuttle are overruled
even though to refrain from oppro-
hrlous suggestions would be more dig
nliled and in better taste"
ihe exceptions in this case are
sueh as IN ordinary cases would de.
1hand scant consideration; but be-
cause OF the importance of the case
they have been most attentively con
sidered. If in any case a court OF
review, satisfied that justice in the
main has been done, is authorized tc
olsregard minor errors this is such a
case. No error Of law is presented b,
the exceptions"
The body of Small;s wife, Mrs. Arlene
l.. Small. was found in the ruins of the
small cottage at Mountainview. on
sept. 29. 1916, the day after the de.
s'ruction Of the cottage by fire. Small
was in Boston when the fire occurred
but at his trial the state presented ev-
idence to show that Mrs. Small har
been killed before her husbands de.
parture and the fire set through me-
ohanicai means. Small was found
guilty and sentenced to death, the al
legged motive being the collection of q
large life insurance policy carried b,
his wife.
IT vas by the merest chance tha,
neishbors, digging in the ruins Of tbs
Small cottage for the body of Mrs
Small discovered evidences of murder
The woman had been beaten over tn,
head, shot through the right temple
and strangled with a cord taken from
a motorboat in which she and her hus.
band had made frequent trips on tn.
lake.
AS the body was carried down h>
the debris while flames were sweepins
through the cottage the head fell int
pool Of water in the basement ant
was preserved
While the evidence was circumstan
tial the jury in finding Small guilty de
clared for capital punishment, the
death penalty under New Hampshire
law being inflicted only when the tur,
believes the crime SO atrocious as e
warrant It.

Dear Sir: AS a Canadian, | want to tell
you, as an American, how much we ap-
preciate the remarkably prompt and gem
erous assistance which you rendered our
sister city of Halifax in its terrible dis
aster.
1 was one of the committee from this
city that went to Halifax the same day
the explosion occurred, and yet with all
our promptness we had barely reached
there until committee of American cit
fzens arrived there also, and the splendid
part of it was that your committee vas
composed of trained men who had been
through other great disasters before and
knew so well how to go about organizing
fel1ef. measures quickly and effectively.
had the satisfaction and pleasure of
meeting several Of them and they were
princes.
The contribution that your country has
made in money is simply magnificent. but
in my opinion the sending of those trained
men the instant the disaster became
known was of more assistance to Halifax
! than anything else that could have been
rendered by anyone.
am merely expressing to you what
was the universal opinion expressed by
those who were in Halifax win me. Your
country has put us under an obligation
which hope we may never forget
Yours very truly
