LET'S HOLD THE LINE
BY Norreys Jephson o'conor OF the
Vigllantes.

We hold the line which stretches far,
From western towns to fields OF
France,
Where now our brave battalions are
Fighting to stop the Huns advance
We must not fail them in their need
We who, in factory or field,
Are soldiers, too; we may not bleed I;
Should we, then, find excuse to YIELD
Because we pass In dreariness
Our days, or In the summer sun
Are hot. and worn with wearlnessr
If our line breaks. the foe has won.
II we heed enemy alarms,
Vain is the generals vast design,
And vain the soldiers deed of arms.
In freedoms name, let's hold the
line.

torpedoes from her tubes, and as they
sped on their errand the BritIsher was
shifted so that another tube was
brought to bear on the enemy. The
commander was taking no chances,
and IL the bow tubes missed he was
ready to have another go. But the
bow tubes had been "well and truly

after the torpedoes had been fired a

But there was no sign of the U-boat.
There was great disturbance upon
the water where the pirate had last
been seen, and when the Brltisher
reached the spot the sea was found
covered with a thick layer of oily sub
stance. A wireless TO the depot port
and another red dot went on the chart
which records the fate Of the pirates.
In the dawn OF bright morning

once dived to get into a favorable DO

say, she proceeded as requisite" for
fifteen minutes and, rising until her

her quarry again, The skipper wanted
to make sure of his game.
Carefully and expertly he maneuver-

Then quick order and out of the tube
a shining "tin fish" sped toward the
Hun. In less than a minute the explo.

DEADLY DRINKS OF MEXICANS
Too Free Indulgence in Pulque and
Mescal Given as Cause for Many
of Border Outraees.

Although Francisco Villa himself
is said to be total abstainer from in
toxicating liquors, many of the Mexi-
can border outrages perpetrated by his
men followed a too free indulgence in
the Mexican national drinks, pulque
and mescal.
The National Geographic society of
Washington, in primer issued on
these two beverages peculiar to the
southern republic, says;
1.-THE colonists who settled on the
east coast of the United States have
been charged with introducing the
American Indian to 'flre-water' in ex-
change for the tobacco habit, but no
similar accusation can rest against the
Europeans who conquered the pulque-
drinking Aztecs of Mexico. The intox-
icating properties Of this unique bev-
erage were known long before Cortez
marched his army across the cause
ways which Joined the ancient Venice
like capital of the Montezuma to the
lake shores.
both pulque and mescal are prod
ucts of the agave or century plant,
which was of the same utilltarian i'm
portance to the aborigines as the date
palm to the Arab, the bamboo to the
Burmese, and the banana to the Cen
trail American. In addition to the two
important beverages, this plant sup
plies from It's roots a starchy food;
from its fibrous leaves cloth is woven
and rope is made; from its pulp the
Aztecs obtained a sort Of papyrus pa
per on which have been preserved
some of their most valued writings;
its huge leaves when dried furnished
a roofing for adobe huts; its stems
still supply fuel, and rows of the sharp
spired plants afforded an impenetrable
defense against the attacks of wild
animals as well as an effective barri-
cade against hostile tribes.
"Mescal and pulque are not, as many
believe, different names for the same
drink. Mescal is distilled from the
| leaves and roasted roots of the plant,
| and Is sort of brandy, containing
from a third to half as much alcohol
as the average American whisky.
Puluue, on the other hand, is the fer

had employed me, and they then de-
cided to hand my report over to the
prosecuting attorney at Lawrence. AT
the request of the prosecuting attor-
ney, the county commissioners at To-
peka employed me to complete the
evidence, so that Collins might be ar
rested and prosecuted for the murder
of his father.
John Collins was promptly arrested
and placed In Jail without bond, and in
due time the case came up for trial.
AS mentioned, it had caused a great
deal of interest in the community, by
reason Of the standing Of the dead
man and the mystery surrounding the
affair. But when it became known
that the son was charged with the
murder the interest was duplicated.
The entire country was aroused over
the trial. All the leading western
newspapers had special reporters pres
ent, and these telegraphed back
lengthy reports Of the proceedings
The courtroom was crowded, and
many noted lawyers came to watch

waxed very warm, as all the counsel
on both sides were able men and stood
at the top of their profession. Prose
cutting Attorney Jetmore was at his
best, making one Of the greatest fights
that ever saw to get his evidence be-
fore the jury. Among the spectators
during almost the entire trial was the
late Justice Brewer of the United
States Supreme court at Washington,
who was visiting his daughter, the
wife Of the prosecuting attorney, Mr.
Jetmore. At the close Of the case Mr.
Justice Brewer came to me and com
plimented me very highly for my work
In solving the mystery
What clinched the case against the
accused man was the evidence Of the
two colored hack drivers to whom
have referred. They came to Topeka
from Lawrence and took the witness

had given them. and which he in turn

looked like easy money for us, and we
knew he wouldn't dare expose us when
we failed to do what he told US. There
he was, fiinging his money around, and
we didn't see why some of 1t shouldn't
come to us as well as to anyone else"
They added that a certain date had
been named, on or before which the
murder was to be committed When
that day had passed and Mr. Collins
was still very much alive, John be-
came angry and expostulated with the
men.
you haven't given US enough
money, boss" the hack drivers told
him. Murders a pretty big business,
you see, and with all them police and
detectives about it's risky one. How
much more will you pay if we bring
of the job?"
John Collins haggled in a business
like manner for some time and finally
promised to give them a hundred dol
lars more, which he did. They also
succeeded in extracting from him a
gold watch which his father had pre-
sented to him on his twenty-flrst birth
day. This money John Collins Sc
cured by borrowing from his friends,
and also by drafts drawn on his ia
Their, as 1 afterward discovered.
The second date made for the muir
der arrived and passed. and the father
was still alive. John Collins grew
furious and upbraided the hack driv-
ers bitterly for not having carried out
their agreement.
well, boss, it's this way" they told
him. We've been thinking over this
here proposition and we've come to
the conclusion that If your fathers
got to be killed you had better kill
him yourself We won't kill him, and
that's all there Is to It,"
But I've paid you to do 1t, twice
over" stormed the young man.
Sorry, boss, but we can't do it." the
hack drivers answered. And, what's
more, we never meant to kill the old
man. We were just working you"
John Collins, growing desperate, left
Lawrence and went to Topeka, to his
fathers house, where he undoubtedly
killed him with his own gun while he
was asleep, having previously secured
1t from the shelf. He entered the room
softly and shot him dead, escaping be-
fore his mother could awaken.
With thia evidenca in hand 7 reDorf-
ed to the committee of citizens who
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1918-05-16

had received from his father when
he came of age, 1t was evident that a
conviction was foregone conclusion.
1t was this production of the watch,
together with the full testimony Of
the drivers, in which they detailed the
contract which they had made with
the prisoner, that convicted him; and
their evidence was corroborated by
circumstances that we're not, and could
not be, contradicted.
The trial lasted more than a week.
Collins attorneys, two of the most
prominent men at the Kansas bar, Ia
bored earnestly and to the best of
their ability to clear him. He was,
however, found guilty of murder, and
sent to the state prison to await the
governors action in fixing the date
of his execution. However, inasmuch
as 1t has always been the custom in
Kansas for the governor never to fix
the date for the execution of person
found guilty of murder, the prisoners
are usually kept in the prison for an
indefinite period, and thus sentence
of death In Kansas usually amounts to
a life term in the state penitentiary.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1918-05-16

he had been posing as wealthy man
in his own right, and had been at
tempting to keep up with the pace at
which the young lady's family and
other friends lived. He had been in
the habit of spending considerable
sums in buying her flowers, In car
rage hire and entertainments of all
sorts, and had become deeply involved
in debt AS his father had only al
lowed him the sum of twenty-five dol
lars a month for social purposes, and
this amount was not a 1.-THE Of what
he required, he had been driven to
desperation and at his wits end to Sc
cure the necessary funds.
There were couple of colored hack
drivers in Lawrence who, Mr.. Man
ming learned, had been often patron
lied by young Collins. AS soon as
received this information from Man
ming l sent an urgent telegram to d.
F. Harbaugh, man in my employ
ment, directing him to proceed to Law
renee at once and find out all that the
hack drivers knew about John Col

renee for a number of years before he
entered my service. He had been a
hack driver in that city, and had after
ward entered into the livery business
In Lawrence. Many Of the hack driv-
ers were, therefore, known to him, and
some Of them had been in his own
service. On this account he did not
find it at all difficult to discover every
thing that was known about the young
man.
The men told Harbaugh that Collins
had approached them and entered into
a verbal contract with both Of them
to have his father killed in return for
certain sum of money. Part Of this
amount he had paid at the time the
agreement was made. and he had
promised to pay the remainder after
the murder was committed.
They told Harbaugh that they had
never had any intention Of attempting
to murder Mr.. Collins, but had prom
ised John that they would do so In or
