the day set for the wedding, just one
hour before the appointed time for her
marriage.
To accomplish this he gave her an
oriental ciEaret. which contained a
most deadly poison. The fumes of the
poison would cause Inomentary eX-
hilaration but there would follow an
awful agony as the smoke filled the
lungs. Death was almost instantaneous

When Tylock Homes had first en-
tered the room occupied by Josephine
Wilkinson he recognized the odor of
that peculiar poison contained in the
cigaret and after he Smelled of her
lips he knew she had taken the poison
but did not know in what form. 1t
was not until after he found the burnt
match and the stub end of the c1garet
that he knew it had been taken in
that manner. In his exhaustive study
of poisons and their effects upon Gl1e
human body, the one that had most
interested him had been the one con-
tanned in this cigaret. In looking
about the room he came upon a book
written by Mohammed Azzan, whom
he knew and whom he had been
watching, expecting that there would
be trouble from him along some line.
This book was well thumbed and
marked and he remembered having

devOtees, would be his eventually; If
not in life. then in death.
So Homes had Immediately sent a
telegram to Kansas City asking his
whereabouts and received the reply
that he had been found dead that
morning. He went to Kansas City
merely to verify few points and there
he found the same peculiar odor in AZ
zan's room. a similar cigaret stub and
the same discoloration on AZzan's neck.
On the bed lay a book revealing the
sacred writings of the cult to which
he belonged and in it marked para
graph stating that "souls predestined
for each other in this world were
sometimes hindered in the culmina-
ton of the perfect bliss that was in

THE CHRISTMAS ROSE.
The Legend of Bethlehem.

The story of its birth is thus told:
On the night when our Lord was born,
when Heaven sang the message of
Peace and Good Will to the ShAp-
herds of Bethlehem, a little girl fol-
lowed her brothers, the keepers of
the flocks. It~was easy to find her in
the night, because the heavens were
all alight. as the angels sang the good
news which was for all men.
When she saw the Wise Men
gathered at the inn, offering their
gold and jewels. their frankincense
and myrrh, 20 the child and its moth
er, she hung timidly back on the
edge Of the crowd and was sad, be-
cause her hands were empty. The
look in the face of the Babe had fill
ed her with admiration and wonder,
and she wished that she also might
testify of her love with some beauti-
full gift.
She had no goods and no money TO
buy them, so, after little, she turn
ed sadly toward the silent hills. But
when she had gone back to the flocks
at the border of the desert, under the
lonely stars. light suddenly shone
about her, and beholdi One of the
announcing angels, glorious creature
whose robe was like molten silver
and whose locks were as the sun at
noon. asked OF her, Little one, why

heart?''
Because I coad carry no joy or
sign of love to the wonderful Child OF
Bethlehem" she answered.
With a smile, the angel waved

the ground was white with Christmas
roses. The maiden knelt with a joy

looking with wonder on the burden
she bore that winter night.
As shea reached the manger. the
Holy One turning from the gold and
gems of the Magi. reached forth his
tiny hands for the blossoms and
smiled as the shepherdess hesped
them at His feet.
"O'er-joyed., she knelt in tho starry gloaIn.
And filled her arms with the blossom
foam.
And hastened back to the stable door.
While marveling much at the blooms size
bore.
THAT winter night there they stood aside
While she to the masger crib did glide,
And smiling on her, 10 and behold,
The Holy one turned from the Magi's
gold:

The sweet blossom gift OF the shep-
berdess.

brings
A gift fair as those of the Magi kings"

SCRIPTURE
Prorerb. as:ss-s2.'

The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth,
and addeth learning to his lips.
Pleasant words are as an hopeycomb,
sweet to the soul, and health TO the bones.
There is a way that seemeth right unto
man; but the end thereof are the ways OF
death.
He that laboreth, laboreth for himself;
for his mouth craveth 1t of him
An ungodly man digGeth up evil; and
in his lips there is as a burning fire.
A froward man soweth strife; and \
whisper separateth chief friends.
A violent man euticeth his neigbbor, and
leadeth him into the way that is not good.
He shutteth his eyes to devise froward
things: moving his lips he brlngeth evil
to pass.
The hoary head is a crown OF glory II
1t be found in the way of righteousness.
He that is slow to anger Is better than
the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit
than he that taketh a city.

Association Charges Murder Against Sutton and His
Squad - Another Meeting Sunday Will Ask
Straight Reply From City Executive Say Ringer
Is Expected to Protect "Pet' at All Hazards.

Ringers taking any action in this
matter" declared one member of the
association. "Mr. Ringer in the past
never has failed to ignore similar
cases when political friends of his
on the department have been con-
cerned. In fact he has even gone
to the most extreme length to de-
fend them against the most serious
charges, regardless of their guilt or
innocence.
Sutton's Convictions.
Every one knows Commissioner
Ringer, is so advised by Elmer
Thomas, would stand by Paul SUIT
ton no matter how black his crimes
The court records will show Paul
Sutton has been convicted on the
gravest charges ever registered
against an Omaha policeman. SUIT
ton, who was discharged by for
mer city commission, not only is
hired again, but he is assigned to
the most responsible position in the
department.
I'VE shall not reckon with
Thomas and Mr.. Ringer. 1t seems
to us that Mayor Smith should
awaken to his responsibility. AT
least the matter will be placed be-
fore him with the demand for a
Straightforward reply. No evasivc
answers will be tolerated"

dent of the National Association for

Time to Take Action.
TT is an outrage and a shame -
he said. The boy was murdered
in cold blood. The matter certainly
will not be dropped until those who
are responsible for the crime have
been brought to justice. The limit
has been reached in Omaha. The
time has come for action. If those
who are in authority at the city hall
remain indifferent to their duty, it
is time an appeal is made to higher
authorities. There is legal manner
in which to proceed under condi-
tons of this kind and we propose
to adopt the right methods"
