he had promised the night before,
missed the Pearlhunter, and come on
to the village. He fought well, and
opened narrow swath, halfway
through the circle to his friend. But
just there somebody struck him above
the ear with the flat of a barrel staye.
The ripple subsidized; the swath closed.
/ The Pearlhunters last friend was

The rope was flung over a limb.
Half a hundred hands. some of them
women's hands. stretched up ready to
pull. Half hundred hands did pull.
The rope ightened-slowly. A hush
fell on the mob; a hush so deep that
the creak of the tightening rope could
be distinctly heard. That last final
scene. the last stroke that stops life
lit is solemn moment; even to
mob. The PearIhunter was lifted ;;
the last light tips of his toes left the
grass; flames ran up and down his
spine; the world tuTned black.
There came q sudden dash of hoofs,
and a man rode straight at the mob.
1t takes a hardy person to withstand
the charge of a horse. The crowd
parted. The horseman reached the
| dangling man, and with one slash of
huge iackknife, cut the rope.
The stroke came barely in time.
The Pearlhunter, only saved from
crumpling down to the grass by the
arm of the horseman, dropped limp
and gasping against the side of the
horse. Slowly the world quit reeling

eyes; caught the glitter of a sheriff's

mob.
"who is this man?" yelled the
sheriff.
A man, whose mouth had been
mashed by butt of the Pearlhunter's
head. clawed the red mask up from
the ground, trampled and soiled, but
still unmistakable, and held it high.
The sheriff started; glared hard at
the Pearlhunter.

A snarl ran through the mob. They
surged forward. The sheriff drew his
revolver again, and cursed them back.

The mop muttered ominously but
fell back, leaving some little space
about the horse. The Pearlhunter
was the tallest man there. His height
enabled him to see with tOlerable
clearness to the outskirts of the
crowd. He swept his eyes over the
heads of the others like man looking
for something he fully expected to

The Pearlhunter was not a man to
be long held down. His day was gone !;
but the night remained.
The sheriff was TO bring his supper

NEW TAXI ZONES.
Men in the BUSINESS Renew Request Be-
fore City Council.

Taxicab men again presented to City
Council last night their request for new
zone for increased fares. Several Council.
men, whose district would come within
the extra fare zone, objected that the
boundaries as proposed by the taxicah
men allowed shorter ride to residents in
the region beyond the Third street bridge
or southwest of Maryland avenue and
Chestnut street than they did to other
parts of the city. and so Disseminated
against their districts.
President Lyon suggested n zone made
by drawing an exact circle about some
central point. The question arose AS to
whether this point should be the French
street station, from which about two
thirds of the taxicab men work or the
Public Building.
William Carr, spokesman for the taxi
cab men, declared that they would agree
to a 50-cent zone fourteen blocks in all
directions from the Public Building, with
an extra charge of 25 cents beyond that.
He had a sketch showing a revision of the
taxicab mems original plan. Action on
the matter was delayed until the Council
should have an opportunity of considering
this sketch.

TENNESSEE PLAN
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
This is the Opinion of Judge Gray
Regarding Proposed Special
Session Of Legislature.

'"The calling of special session OF th'
Legislature in Tennessee by the COVER
nor, for the purpose Of acting upon the
proposed suffrage amendment to the FED
cral Constitution, and the campaign u
support of this action, constitute tht
most defiant attack upon the princlpls
Of local self government embodied IN otii
dual system, that has yet been launched,
said Judge George Gray, in discussing
the subject. 'No principle has been dearer
10 the Democratic spirit OF those VINO
founded and have maintained our insti-
TUTORS than this Whether called the
doctri . { state rights, or local self govern
ment. coz the integrity of state sovereignty
the principle is the same, and those who
attack it are attacking the very founda-
tions of American institutions.
"It will be amazing If the people OF
Tennessee should submit To such an IN
suit To the sovereignty of their state as IS
embodied in the suggestion that they
should disregard and disobey the mandate
Of their own constitution, IN order 10 Tor
ward the policy of those who are seeking
To impose woman suffrage on reluctant
states. That mandate, as understand
il, is, that no legislature shall act, upon
a proposed amendment to the Federal
constitution. unless Sucn lBElsihtuft iistS
been elected subsequent to the submission
of such amendment by Congress.
whatever may be said of the effect
of the late decision of the Supreme Court
in the Ohio case, it has no bearing upon
the right and duty of the Legislature now
called to obey this mandate of the con-
stitution of the state To do so would con-
travene no provision of the Federal Con-
stitution, nor would it in any way con-
fiict with the decision of the Supreme
Court i'll the Ohio case, while to do other
wise would be plain violation of duty.
''lt will be acting on the highest moral
and patriotic grounds if the present Legis-
ature of Tennessee refuses to disregard
this requirement of the organic law OF
its own state. Self respect, state pride,
and regard for the true relation of the
state government to the national govern
ment should conduce TO the rejection OF
so humiliating a proposition as that now
presented to the people and Legislature
OF Tennessee. And this, without regard
TO the opinion or Judgment of the in
dividual citizen or Legislator as TO woman
suffrage.

Here is a brief composition written
out of school hours by Hitoshi Musu-
Okla, the Halehaku school boy who
came from Japan, knowing no English
only two and a half years ago. He
gives his composition the title Last
Night" and it shows quite a vein of
poetry running through his nature
though his poetic thoughts are e.
pressed in prose.
Last night l took the chair out and
| sat down to see the sky. The moon
was looking down on me with smooth
and round, bald head. l could hear
the waves dashing on the shore
and the cows cried, moo, moo" The
frogs were crying sweetly because the
autumn had come. The wind hit
against the trees and made some
strange voices.
Far, far away l could see the Dip
per and some others tsars.
Everytime when | look at the North
star | think about boys and girls who
lives in the cold North.
