PILLoRY DREADED BY ALL
Ancient Form Of Punishment That
Frequently Was Made Savage N
Victim Was Unpopular.

1t is less than a century ago since
the pillory was abolished In Britain
The pillory, as form OF torture was
known all over Europe and, from all
accounts. It had a larger history In Ger.
many than In this country.
Its form is, of course, familiar to all.
The culprit, generally a criminal
though men were often put in the pill.
Tory for political offenses as well--was
placed on a platform, and his head and
hands We're inclosed In small wooden
frame. If public opinion went against
the culprit, his fate was often terri.
bic one, for the enraged populace beat
and stoned him.
Readers Of Besant's novel, "The Or.
ange Girl" will know how this torture
was dreaded by all classes OF criml.
nails. Occasionally prominent and in.
huential personality would be sen.
fenced TO detention In the pillory, as
was Lord Cochrane, but, fortunately
for his lordshlp, the punishment was
never carried out. Strange scenes were
often witnessed at the pillory, as IN
1880. when the offender was supplied
with refreshments during his impris
onment, and protected from the wealth
er by means OF an umbrella.-London

night In the house Of Rev. John

In the morning, after he had shaved
he placed his razor in drawer and

Interesting are the trousers or tights
Of the poorest class Of gauchos, who
live In very primitive state In the
southern Argentine pampas. When
they need pair OF pants they kill an
old mare and strip off the hide OF the
forelegs as one would draw <off a
glove. These, says the Los Angeles
Times, are drawn, soft and pliable,
hairy side in, over the feet and legs
up to the hips, when they adjust them
selves like tights. They are thus worn
continuously. day and night. for weeks,
until the owner feels the necessity of
new pair of pants. They are then cut
loose, another old mare Is killed. and
the operation is repeated.

there was something compelling about

Miss Weiby saw in the faces of those
present that the proposition was not
meeting with an enthusiastic response.
One member arose and said she
thought she would prefer being stood
up against wall and shot. She was
willing to help In any other way. But
going unlimited into peoples homes,
and telling them their duty, or urging
them to be good enough to go and get
killed was rather stretching the de-
mands of patriotism.
Other members jumped up and said
they thought 1t a splendid idea, and
Il was plainly their duty to follow
their presidents advice. A spirited
discussion followed The consensus Of
opinion was that the house-to-house
solicitation would be a very disagree
able thing TO do, but that their duty as
patriots demanded the sacrifice Of per.
sonal feelings. SO the motion was car.

WILL POWER ALWAYS COUNTS
Well to Realize One Has Got to Want
Thlnes Hard In Order TO
Get Them.

Just wanting something will rarely
obtain 1t for you. You've got to go out
and get 1t for yourself. In an article
called increase Your Driving Power
in the American Magazine, writer
quotes an authority as saying:
after all, a man does what he
wants to do. Therefore, he must be
taught as child and he must learn In
adult years to teach himself, to want
to do the right thing and the big thing
and to want 1t so hard that he Is
bound to arrive at the wished-for goal.
Anybody can SIT down and say, I'D like
to be the head Of my company, or the
president of the United States, or the
best salesman In the world That much
Is easy. It Is exactly what the baby
does when it sits on the floor and
squalls for piece of candy. But 1t Is
a very different thing from wanting
something SO much that one is willing
to set about 1t and undertake at once
the doing Of the impossible.
1.-THE trouble with the average mar
is that he does not want things hard
enough. And one reason for this Is
that he has not been taught the value
Of this wanting He has not been
shown In his schools and In his life
that man has tremendous resources fol-
wanting and for willing, and that, as
he continues to will and will. he will
find himself unknown and unsupported
layers Of energy. There is always
enough energy to supply mans de
sires for success If he will tap thu
source OF It."

Hats of to Des Moines!

The Bee freely gives space in another column
on this page to letter from the director of the
Greater Des Moines committee taking exception
to some OF the references we have made to Des
Moines in our discussion OF the location there of
the army cantonment for this district We have
only the kndlest feeling for Des Moines and
its energetic and enterprsing people and concede
that the location Of the cantonment there is the
best possible testimonial to their alertness in seiz-
ing every opportunity promising advantage.
The Bees alluson to Des Moines' railway
facilities, which apparently struck the discord, it
must be understood, were by comparison with
Omaia's, and the accuracy OF our claim for the
superiority Of Omaha is plainly conceded even
though Des Mones may insist that its railway
facilities are more than ample to meet demands"
What we asserted, and what we still assert, is
that had Omaha had full consideration it would
be found to more than match the military facili-
ties offered by Des Moines which Des Moines
feels convinced Offset our superiority in railway
facilities.
Be that as Il may, the water has run by the
mill and we hope Des Moines will satisfy all
expectations in taking care of the soldiers in
training, task which we confess we are dsap-
pointed was not devolved upon Omaha In truth,
il Omaha could not have the cantonment we do
not know OF another place we would prefer to
see il located than Des Moines.
