THE ROPE BEATEN

In the Chicago murder cas2 the
rope has been beaten. Many hop
ed that Judge Caverly would SEN
tance Nathan Leopold, Jr., and
Richard Loeb, confessed kidnap-
ers and murders, to hang. Their
sentence is for life but in time
they may find an exit through the
penitentiary walls. Of course
their lives are ruined. After they
have kept the lock step for TWEEN
ty years or more they can never
get away from the deep lines cut
in their faces nor from the bur-
den of their broken spirits. Aside
from all this they have divorced
themselves from society for all
time-they are virtually dead and
a cloud of despair shadows the
parents and other relatives.
Thera are many who hold the
rich are fayored-they always
have the advantage. Had these
two boys hanged, the same as 9TH
er penniless persons in Illinois,
there would have been less ground
for a certain attitude taken by
many toward the wealthy.
Robert E. Grove, attorney for
the state, and Clarence barrow,
for the defense, fought the case
as if their lives depended upon
the outcome. barrow has de-
Tended over 100 murders and not
one has gone to the gallows. Some
of these have been desperate cas-
es. He secured the acquittal OF

loved ones bed and weep with you
DER the bier of the dead, and for

Then let me live in town like
this,-iust a little old town like
this; where your foe of today is
your friend to tomorrow who is
eager to bear the cross of your

An Old Jar

When is mason Jar an antique?
What year did the art of canning in
glass jars become general? In
washing and preparing jars for
canning, my attention was arrested
by one like, and yet unlike the
others. Investigation disclosed an
,encircled stars pressed on one side
with the inscription-"Mason's pat
ent Nov. 80, 1855" Nearly S.
years old. Weathering many a
canning bout, this old timer by the
side Of the latest example of these
standard jars, shows how few are
the improvements the years have
brought.

BY THE WAY

A. A. Porter, head ef the Register
Democrat at Portage, has returned
from a trip of $500 miles to south
ern New York. i 3"
The purpose of the long drive was
to recover the remains of his great
grandfather and great grandmotn-
er and other relatives buried in
abandoned cemeteries in the EN-
pire state, whose far away graves
had long been neglected.
The ashes Of four bodies along
with the inscribed headstones mark
ing their last resting place, were
brought back to Wisconsin and the
remains win be given burial in the
Pacific cemtery where repose many
members of the Porter family.
The great grandfather, Alexander
Porter, was a soldier of the revolu-
ton having fought all through the
long war of revolt against English
domination. He died and was
buried more than ninety years ago.
Besides the remains OF Alexander
Porter and his wife, those of the
mother of the late ID. d. Porter,
Mrs. Artemesia Porter, first wife o.:
John L. Porter, father of A. A. Por-
ter, and those of a sister Of John
l.. Porter, Miss LoVina Porter,
were also brought back, Mrs. Arte-
mesia Porter died in early life,
about a year after her marriage and
Miss Lovina Porter was girl Of
eighteen when she passed away.
The total number of passengers
carried on the railways of the
country last year, according to the
president OF the American associa-
ton of Railroad Superintendent
w. S. Williams, was, nearly one
billion. OF that vast number only
nine were killed in train collisions.
But 1859 lost their lives in COLT
sions between trains and automo-
biles at grade crossings. "The
train cannot go to the automobile,
says Mr.. Williams, "but the auto
mobile must come to the train, to
produce a collision and the re-
sponsibility clearly does not rest
upon the train"

THRIFT

II NAA
How much do you save each
year?
Do you live within or beyond
your income?
What percentage of mans in
come should he save?
These are questions asked and
answered by S. w. Strauss, presi-
dent of the American Society for
Thrift
"Some time ago the United
States government savings system
issued a statement that a thrifty
man should spend so per cent of
his income for living expenses;
10 per cent for education; 10 per
cent for giving; 10 per cent for
recreation and save 20 per cent, >"
says Mr.. Strauss. "The treasury
department. has stated that fam
lily of three with $4,000 income
should save $500; a family of four
with $4,000 income should save
$780, a family of four with $4,000
income should save $500; a family
of four with $4,000 income should
save 81 400, and family of five
with $4,000 income should save
$2,40G. f
"Thesa figures were undoubt-
eddy arrived at after close study
of the personal economics of many
families and are meant to cover
average conditions.
"While it may BE true that the
average man in America should
save 20 per cent of his personal
income it does not follow by any
means that man who under GER
tain circumstances only saves 10
per cent or even per cent of his
income is not just as thrifty as
some other man who might save
so per cent Of his income.
"There are rightful duties and
obligations that must be met, and
their fulfillment might preclude
the saving of any considerable
sum of money On the other hand,
man might be so situated that
even if he did lay aside 20 per
cent of his income ne would still
be indulging in wasteful habits.
Thrift is a matter of morals
as well as of money. 1t is self
discipline; strength of character;
efficiency and a common-sense ad-
ministration of ones affairs.
"Save Systematically as much
as you can consistent with your
circumstances in life. Be econom-
ical, but not miserly. Eliminate
all possible waste.
"If one will endeavor honestly
to adhere to these practices he
will be able to save what is con-
sistent and right and within the
meaning of true thrift"

My Old Wisconsin Home
Barabool Wis.

When thinking of the bygOne days,
Wherever l may roam,
Fond memory will often turn
To my "Old Wisconsin Home"
They tell me that the old home
farm
Has passed from Fathers hands;
And strangers now are dwelling
On those old remembered lands.
A strangers hand will guide the
pillow,
And strangers hands will garne4
The fruit their tillage yields.
IT'S well! And yet it makes me
sad,
To think the place, which was my
home,
When but a little lad,
Will never seem like home again
With all the loved ones gone.
The family has scattered
AMI left the old home nest,
Some are living near the farm;
And some have gone "Out West"
The children are all living yet
Who were there in the long ago,
Except the eldest sister
Whom cruel fate laid low.
The others are all married now,
And have homes Of their own;
Except the writer, who is still
A bachelor alone.
How oft | think of the days gone by
When we were girls and boys,
And hide and seek and such sim
pie game,
Where the chiefest of life's joys.
When spring time came with pleas
ant warmth,
And grateful April showers;
We loved to roam the neighboring
woods,
And search for the first spring
flowers.
And when the summer days were
come,
What fun it was to take
A piece OF Irvine and bent pin hook
And fish in ChapmaR's lake.
How often on q pleasant day,
When all was still and bright
We heard the cherry call of quail
AS he whistled his quaint Bob
White.
And when the day was ended,
In the evening calm and still;
We often used to- hear the notes
Of a distant whippoorwill.
And when the winter SHOWS were
come,
With what Joy We heard the plans

OF all the living creatures that
now inhabit the earth, the turtle a.
tains the greatest age. The turtle
is a reptile which has its skeleton
on the outside of it's body, and its
vital organs completely encased in
box of bone, called a shell. The
shell of the turtle affords a refuge
from its enemies, and is remark
able means of defense This de-
fensive structure has doubtless con-
tributed to the long life of the
creature.
Turtles have no teeth. but the
edges of their strong horny jaws
are sufficiently sharp and chisel-
like to enable them to cut up vege-
table food, and to bite quite effec-
lively.
