BANDIT JUST MY
HUBBY" " SHE SAYS
Wife Claims He Bound and
Gagged Her In Kitchen Fol-
LOWING Separation.

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. 27.-That
her husband wearing mask ana
brandishing a knife, overpowered her
last night in the kitchen of her
parents, home and bound her with
rope to a chair after drugging and
gagging her, was the testimony today
of Mrs. Katherine Heck, 16 years old,
before Justice Rohlderer in the
Northeastern Police Court. The hus-
bad, George Heck, % years old, was
sent to Jail in default of $500 bail for
the grand jury on the charge Of as
sault He denied the charge.
Mrs. Heck has been living with her
parents separating from her husband
two weeks after their marriage last
November. Her parents were in bed.
she said. when she went downstairs
about o o'clock last night.
As she struck a match, says the
youthful wife she was seized. A voice
that said: "I've got you now." she
claims to have recognized as her hus-
bands. In the di n flare-up of the
match she glimpsed a masked man
and a shining blade. A wet rag, the
odor of which stifled her senses, was
stuffed in her mouth, preventing an
outcry and handkerchief was used
to keep the gag in.
In the struggle that followed, the
girl alleges, she was kicked in the
stomach and forced to a chair. Sew
eral feet of one-quarter-inch rope
were wound about her and she was
securely bound.
Heck claims to have been in bed
when his wife was attacked His
alibi was attacked by Randolph He
ward, brother-in-law OF Mrs. Heck
who says he saw Heck running with
another man near the Bayer home
shortly before 9:30 o'clock.

She was especially severe on the Gus
tom that has grown up OF gir's and
young mems taking auto mobile rides

against the vulgarity and revolving
badness of the petting parties which
follow college 'proms.' The root Of
all this evil Is jazz music and the in

BANK ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
LAD

A local merchant recently refused
TO give a boy a job because that boy
did not attend Sunday School The
incident merits consideration.
True it is that there is often a
commercial and social value" put
upon church going. This man uses
his religious associations for business
ends, that woman capitalizzes her
church interest for social purposes.
They belittle the religion of Jesus
Christ.
But fairly speaking, these so-term-
ed religious hypocrits who profess
piety but do not practice it, are in
the minority and are more frequently
being plucked and cast aside, or be-
ing consumed in their own flesh of
selfishness, littleness and insulting
hypocrisy. There is furthermore, a
waste difference between that person
who affiliates himself with the church
for strictly personal gains, and that
Sunday School boy, properly reared
in a religious environment, brought
up in the church, so to speak.
The Sunday School lad is not a
perfect specimen, but he is more de-
rendable than the other kind. The
lesson learned in Sunday school, the
kind advice of loving Sunday school
teacher, the truthful words of many
a Sunday school text, are not soon
forgotten. In later life, away from
home and mother, that Sunday school
influence follows him. guards. and
protects him.
1t is a rare exception when a Sun.
day School boy goes astray. Attic

However, there seems to he no such
criticism. At the same time there is
opposition, or was. 1t came largely
from a lot of self-centered, selfish
politicians, and would-be-rulers of the
city's affairs, but who, after April End
will have no further voice in the con-
duct of the city's affairs. In vernac-
ular, they are a longtime goner".
They realize this, but instead of COM
ing to the support of new admins
tration in trying to make Paris the
city it should be. they were so selfish
as to try to throw obstacles in the
way of a new administration, and
handicap them in accomplishing any.
thing for betterment of the city, for
iear their previous administration
will thus be repudiated.
To settle their protest" Senator
NV. d. Cooper offered them the priv
ilege, before the final passage of the
new charter, to let it be made an is
sue in the mayoralty election to-
morrow. They wouldn't agree. The
only conclusion, therefore, is thai
they thus admit their defeat.
In protesting" to Senator Cooper
| they did not offer anything construct
i've. They have grabbed at straws
as the drowning man who has of
been referred to. They have insisted
upon the creation of laws all-their
own and contrary to any existing laws
on the statute book. They are stub
bornly resisting their defeat, and the
reputation accordingly of their ad
ministration.

drafted is a good one; as good az

ON LAUGHTER.

Laughter can be sweetest or the
meanest thing on earth. The sunny
laughter of the little child-any
mirthful, happy laughter is music.
The laughter of the sneer, the mock
ing laughter occasioned by another's
discontinue, alone has a hollow
sound
Laughter is of the veritable fifty
seven varieties. There is the content.
ed laughter of inmost joy You know
such a person. One whose heart is
SO brimful of joy of living that a
faint thought brings forth convulsive
sounds of glad merriment Such
laugh is most often also contagi-
Gus laugh. 1t is the kind of laugh
that makes the world laugh with
you" A 10y spreader" is generally
that person who invariably sees the
funny side, who always laughs first.
This specie is by formation, and from
the first baby grin to the last wrink-
led smile, pervades joy.
Embarrassed laughter belongs to
the self conscious age of the teens
1t is the giggling laughter of the
school girl, the blushing laughter of
the receiver of fair compliments. 1t
is laughter that one outgrows, or a
laughter that time withers.
There are persons who laugh when
- !, itoI
cry sound, 1t is pitiful laughter, and
for the times being maniacial. 1t is
therefore, a laughter to be feared. 1t
is of the variety, that che who laughs
last, laughs best"
To laugh in the sleeve, is private,
Iunperceived laughter. 1t is one of
the undesirable kind
Loud laughter speaks vacant
| mind. It is the soft, we'll modulated
gentle laughter that is most pleasing.
The uncultured "haw-haw is an
abomination.
There is jeering laughter and ban
tering laughter, the gurgling laugh
ter of the babe, and the chuckling
laughter of the fat, satisfied adult.
| "a lean person cannot chuckle)
| Laughter is peculiar to the human
species. 1t denotes a higher con.
seriousness. the presence of the thing
we call a soul No bird or beast real.
| ly laughs, altho we speak of the
"horse laugh" the Laughing hyena,
and the Laughing crow"
Laughter lights up 'the shuman
eyes," those mirrors of the soul,
softens the facial lines, changes the
human countenance.
The manner of laughter is good
/ test of character. 1t is generally
agreed that, that man is a bad man
who has not within him the power
OF a hearty laugh" Shakespear warns
often of"that man who seldom smiles
nor can be moved to laughter" yet
the constant laughter is big bore
1t is to the credit OF the American
people that they like to laugh, thai
they will pay more for laugh, work
harder to make someone laugh, anC
enjoy laughter generally more thar
other people.

work houses etc, are full OF the
others, who never went to Sunday
school
The Sunday School lad grows into
law obeying citizen, who respects
the conventions and decencies of life.
If his moral fall is heralded the loud
err, it is because he is a Sunday
school boy, and because he has the
further distance to fall.
1t is always safer to bank on the
Sunday School boy!

DR.. Fabyan Franklin has friend
who vouches for this story. Coming
downtown on the elevated one morn
ing, he was struck by the explosive
temper Of a red-faced, choleric man
on seat nearby. This man, annoyed
because youth facing him had placed
his feet on the seat which the man oc-
cupied, burst out in a storm of pas
sion, denouncing the youth in tones
that aroused the attention of passen-
gers in the adjoining cars. He finally
stamped out on the platform at a
stop. boiling with rage.
That noon Doctor Franklin's friend
went into self-service restaurant for
lunch. Getting plate of vegetables
and meat, and one of pumpkin pie. he
placed them on the broad extension
arm Of one of the chairs provided for
lunchers, and made room beside them
for his cup of coffee. AS he was fin
ishing his lunch he reached for the
pumpkin pie, and clumsily knocked 1t
off the chair arm.
TO his horror he saw 1t disappear
into the gaping pocket of large over
coat carelessly flung over the next
chair-and then he perceived the own

him, all unconscious of the accident,
with a plateful of food. 1t was the

frightful temper had amazed the ele-
waited passengers!

Two men passed away. One had
been born, and in due course admitted
to the bar, soon ran for office, was
elected a continuous Hon. until at
last he went to his reward, such as it
was. And the local paper gave him an

By-and-by he, too, passed on. The
