Two hours later the man in the lunch wagon saw the same taxicab stop in front of his wagon. The men got out and apparently were engaged in heated argument. Finally they re- entered the cab and drove away at a rapid pace.
 The district attorney has rounded up witnesses who say they saw Allen walking toward the Wheatsheaf Inn at 3:15 o'clock yesterday morning.
 A possible clue was furnished by a taxicab driver, who gave to the po- lice business card bearing the name of John N. Matuza. poolroom pro- prietor, of s33 North Second street Philadelphia. The card was found 50 feet from the body.
 The police have learned that about the time the body was discovered a high powered automobile raced across the free bridge into Trenton. There were several men in the car who seemed to be intoxicated.

THE BOssIER BANNER
Mother.

A host of friends and kindred, too,
We have to love each other
But on this earth God gives TO eAch
OF us just one dear mother.
She 1t is who first must hear
OF unexpected pleasure
Rejoicing with MS and her joy
Makes full the heaping measure. :;
The first to comfort In distress,
The one to whom our sorrow
Brings keenest pain, and then again
Reminds us of :. tomorrow"
We learn to lean upon her work,
Her wisdom guides, and strengthens
Our character in youth and brings
Reward as time is heightened.
And then the time to us must come
When mothers hands are folded
To us fhe dearest, fairest hands
The Master sculptor nodded.
The angels kiss the loving eyes
And close the white-fringed keeper !;
The pulseless breast is now at rest,
God keep the silent sleeper.
But let's not think of her as dead; L
just waiting over yonder S
In that fair land. with loving hand,
That 8 sunshine land OF wonder.
Wen zee her smile again some day.
His promise still rings true: &.
I'll go, and stay a little while,
Then I'll come back for YOU

Take Time.

New Orleans Chrjstiam Advocate.
Hurry is one of the besetting sins Of
this age. Men and women everywhere
show a feverish anxiety to get through
with what they are doing, to reach the
destination toward which they have
started. " Use speed y seems to be the
motto of about four-thirds of the
people one meets. The pleasant civil
tiles of social intercourse are forgot lii
the mad rush to get along The I'M
portant. but apparently useless, details
Of a great undertaking are lost sight of
in the desire to put over . the big
thing itself. The frayed nerves are
never given chance to become quiet
the beginning of a new day Is like the
feverisll close of one that Is past. "A
lesson that is hard for all of us to
learn is that there is plenty Of time to
do well everything we ought to do.
One reason why so mauy. of us have to
hurry Is that we never start in time. !,

RUNNING q Newspaper.

Clipped from an exchanged
|. Everybody thinks he can run a
newspaper better than the benighted
souls who haye been placed by Proyi-
dence In that Inevitable position. Maybe
it's because the EDITORS faults are glar-
Ing ones -out in the open, in black and
white-0r possibly, it is just a queer
quirk Of nature and the jobs so easy,
anyway. Running the paper is a sort
Of side line with lots of people. They
offer advice in their spare moment
with the same spirit as they play golf
or pinochle. One would have the editor
a militant suffragist, another demands
that he. rail against women voting. The
prohibitionists can't see how amy de
cent man can be for the regular saloon
and accuse him of selling out to the
liquor interests: il he takes that side.
while the vets say he Is being intin-
idated by the churches aud ruled by
the .drys" il he is opposed to the
saloon. The Democrats say the paper
is a. dirty rag II the editor is Repub-
lican in lis sympathies, and the RepuL'
leans stop their subscriptions If he
comes out for a Democrat. IL the
editor is for anything the ants con-
denim him, and vice versa. II he takes
a stand he il trying to dictate to the
community. Ii he doesn't take q stand
he is a mollycoddle and jellyfish. He
is a crank, a fanatic, a fOurflusher, a
crook, a disturber Of the peace or plain
idiet. according us he meets the desires
of his subscribers or goes against them.
And there you are. The average man
never thinks Of the hours Of toll
downright. soul-sweating toil-it takes
to run a paper. He never thinks of the
worries, the trials and tribulatiOns
every editor must undergo. Some OF
them are SO unappreciative Of his eff
forts to boost their town and make
money for them that they won't even
contribute the price OF u subscription.
just remember this: The editor,
apart from the perfectly laudihle
desire to make decent living for
himself and family, has only the good
Of the community at heart. If he
disagrees with you on any subject,
political, moral or educational, you,
and not he, may be WRONG.
