THE YOUNG CHICAGO MURDERERs
BY MRS. !

IN HESE youths have already pleaded
guilty They can not, therefore, be
acquitted of the crime, nor can they
escape rigid punishment. The question is
how much or how little punishment they
will get when the judge announces the PEN
atty. 1t goes without saying, all that money
can do will be done by the wealthy parents,
and money talks very loud-according to the
millions that these offenders would other
wise have inherited if they had been more
human and less fiendish.
Nevertheless, there Is a stern public de-
mand that these youths shall feel the ter
rors of an offended law. The judge under
stands it.
The mother of the murdered boy will have
a trial of severe Importance to herself, when
she sees the boys that despoiled her home
No one can feel as she does unless they have
undergone such ordeal. She has been
cruelty wronged, and Chicago knows it. Let
us hope there may be justice done, and no
sidestepping allowed to hinder it. There is
a growing sentiment against ca ptal punish
ment. Should there be no limit placed on
the fendishness of murderers then other
people would be forced to emigrate. There
may be other ways more humane than
strangling by rope around the neck, but
there should certainly be end to the prac-
tice of killing fellow human, unless the
emigration may be possible to the rest of the
peaceable folk.
There are doubtless mistakes made in
trial courts, especially with circumstantial
evidence but there should be enough penal
tv to make another murder by the same mis-
creant impossible. Those who plead guilty
deserve the limit of the law, such Chi
cago is dealing with.

CHAPTER -XElL.
Turning the Tables

tn HERE were times when Gloria wonder
ed at herself for putting up with the
things Templeton forced her to endure
What manner of woman am I?' she
would think. Where is my self-respect?
Surely 1 wasn't always so cold and hard
And she wondered if Hollywood and the
bright hardness of the movie life had chang
ed her. Every emotion save personal ambi-
ton seemed dead in her these days. The
only time she was pIiable was on the set
and here she worked hard, and forgot her
own troubles in creating her part.
Templeton had kept his word about Civ
ing Gloria the lead in his new picture, al
though work had not yet been begun on it.
1t was to be a pretentious thing called Chill
dren of the Desert and Gloria was cast for
the slave girl, Arabia. Manning was to di-
rect it. and already gigantic sets were being
erected and plans formed for taking the
company on location somewhere in New
Mexico.
In the meantime Stranger Souls" had
been released and was booked for a weeks
showing at one of the largest Of the New
York picture theatres. The returns were
astounding. 1t was billed as a Star Sapphire
Production, directed by Herbert Manning
and featuring the ever-popular screen favor
lite, Rolf TempletOn. Glorias name appeared
in the cast. but even allowing for the inter
est taken in her because of her marriage to
Rolf, her personal success was instantane-
Gus. She received special mention in every
New York newspaper. One of the most con-
servatiye of the papers spoke Of her as
dwarfng the picture for TempIeton. while
others said frankly that she had stolen the
picture away from her husband, and that
beside her genuine acting, it was obvious
that he had too many mannerisms.
Gloria became somewhat of celebrity al
most over night. Interviewers besieged her
photographers took pictures Of her in the
garden. in her dressing room. on the set
The director of the Super Perfect Film COM
panY offered her a contract. but Manning
signed her up Immediately al $500 a week.
To say that Manning was troubled is put
ting it mildly. He knew only too well that
Rolf Templetons popularity would not stand
many such attacks. and the worst of the
thins was that the critics were right. Rolf
undoubtedly had mannerisms. and he count
ed too much on his looks. Gloria was gen
uine. At the private showing of Stranger
Souls some one had remarked that Gloria
had the makings of one OF the greatest emo
Ional actresses on the screen, and Manning
had trembled then lest her real talent steal
the picture away from the star Now that
very thing had happened and it would be
madness to go on with the plans for Chill
dren of the Desert" Some one else must he
cast for the slave girl. Arabia, for Gloria
was star material herself.
Temrleton was furious with the critics.

THE GOOD OLD SUMNER TIME

VIZ lTH MONDAY temperature nearly one
wv hundred degrees in the shade and the
nights sizzling hot inside the house,
we understand what summer time stands for
down in Dixie.
Too much of an invalid to leave the house
or walk on hot sidewalks, l try to wigwag
from one place to another to get the coolest
place in the morning and avoid the sunny
side in the long afternoons, indoors.
But this is what summer time means and
stands for. 1t has a purpose to fulfill. 1t
was so intended by the Almighty Maker, or
weather in winter means a good chance for
the soil to produce, and to kill off useless
vermin and bugs, so the hot weather serves
it's turn, and makes the soil do its best, in
crop time.
There is always solid comfort in the
thought that we will have a change, and not
a great while off.
Nearly seven months Of 1924 are already
gone and directly the hot weather will dis
appear.
This old world is very beautiful because
the rains have washed the trees and the
lawns clean and the green foliage is so rest
full and good to look at constantly. Any 9TH
er color would not stand such a constant
use as We get from the tender green,
wherever there is foliage or forest trees. All
will very soon give way to autumn hues
and un-co1ored grass. The Almighty Maker
makes no mistakes. 1t is perfect.

had nelghbor many years ago who was
a slave to her two daughters, one several
years older than the other. The elder was
shrewd and tactful, and finally married be-
fore there was an expose. The younger, mis-
led by the example Of the older sister, didn t
get away with it so easily. The parents were
crushed by the result. Nobody could suffer
more than this patient, home-Iovng devoted
mother experienced, and she had been sweet
and forbearing, and ignorant of what other
people could and did talk about But
it was too late to reCtify the mistake Of al
lowing the girls to CAD about with doubtful
company while she kept the home fires burn
ing for their return.
The general trend Of the day is allowing
young girls to go from home, to visit in far
off places and copy after the manners and
habits of people who allow their children too
many liberties.
a cause for the lax, loose, fast ways of
modern girls, I would say there should be
more staying at home and frmer discipline
on the part of parents. The father should
be as much concerned as the mother. His
opportunities for finding out doubtful places
and bad companions are much better I
could insist, as this writing, that the mother
needs all the assistance and sympathy of the
father of her children. 1t is a mutual obi
cation and mutual responsibility.

WHEN THE DEAD CAME BACK
By DR.. Frank Crane
y IGHT by the little village of Nix, in the
< land of Nod, lay the cemetery, where
: the dea had lain for years and years.

~ light by the little village of Nix, in the
X land of Nod, lay the cemetery, where
the dea1 had lain for years and years.
One day all the dead people in the ceme-
terry got up and walked into town.
You may be sure there was a great to do.
There were Mysteries and joyous greetings,
also not a little embarrassment in the
of second wives.
Now, those who have been dead for some
time have learned great many important
things about living. They learn to forgive
and to forget and very gentle and help
full. SO the dead people who had come to
life went about among the live people and
tried to tell them some of the good things
they knew.
They explained that they had only a
weeks vacation, at the end of which they
must go back to their graves. God had
granted them this, at their urgent request,
in order that they might give some sadly
needed counsel and direction to their be-
loved relatives and friends who were spoil
ing their lives by making serious mistakes.
They further said they would not be a
burden because they need no food, drink, or
shelter; neither did they wish to brighten
anyone; they simply wanted to help along.
The parsOn called grand meeting at the
church, where all the spirits explained to the
living many vital and neglected truths, and
showed what was worth while.
Besides this the risen dead went from
house to house, and taught men and women
not to be greedy, nor lazy, nor stupid, nor
fearful, not to bother so much about laying
up money, not to be so eager to get on, and
all such things, because when life is over it
doesn't matter. Also they taught them to
love and to be happy, to help one another, to
be kind, and to appreciate the sunshine In
the air and the beauty of the earth.
For the first two three days the village
was in a state of spiritual exatation. Old
grudges were buried, enemies became recon
ced, drunkards reformed, thieves made res
titution, quarrelsOme folk became peaceable,
stingy men grew generous, sOured and
churlsh women turned to sweetness, and
it verify looked as though the millennium
had moved in.
But by Thursday signs of trouble began to
be apparent.
By Friday the people were bored
BY Saturday everybody was looking for
ward with ill-concealed gee to the perma-
nent departure of the visitors.
And after the dead had returned, with
their wisdom and goodness, to their grave
yard, the whole town slumped back into its
old human, muddling imperfection and blind
ness.
They called a meeting and notified the
preacher that Sundays he to talk to
them just as the dead people had done, but
that on weekdays he was to let them alone.

THE OVER-CONFIDENT
By H. Addington Bruce

TUST as over-confidence may be, and
frequently is, fatal to success in games,
~ so it may be, and frequently is, rata!
to success in the more serious contests OF
life There is such thing as a man being
too clever for his own good, when his clever
ness betrays him into oyer-confidence.
For then he is certain unconsciously to
hamper himself by becoming half-learner
and a halfworker.
Undertaking any new task he will not
patiently buckle down to master its details.
lie will listen with perhaps poorly conceal
ed impotence to any one who offers him
self as an instructor. All the while he
keeps thinking:
"This is easy for me. I'll have it done
in no time"
He may get 1t done with uncommon
rapidity. The chances actually are that
he will. But also the chances are that,
because he has neither listened intently nor
labored with real thoroughness, he will not
get it done to the complete satisfaction OF
the one employing him.
More than this, the chances that, if
only because Of his over-confidence, he will
resent instead of profiting from any criti-
cism of mistakes he may have made in his
eagerness to finish his task rapidly.
Come, now" you can hear him saying,
that's, laying it on bit too thick. What
you complain Of is really trifle, and
doesn't count for so much as you seem to
think"
Yet, as one Of the worlds greatest ar
lists once said, in one Of the world S
most famous quotations. it is the trifles
that make perfection, and perfection is no
trifle. And, in the words Of philosopher
of success:
zone cannot pluck the fruits of his native
ability without constant and careful Gull
tivation In sowing the seed of success
there is no preferred season, the present
is the accepted time, the mind and the
weather are always on the side of the dill
gent steady worker"
This is what the Oyer-confident forget.
Flushed with the pride of their real or
fancied cleverness, they apply themselves
to effort indifferently rather than earnest
ly For time this may not seem to hurt
them. In the long run 1t will hurt them
so badly that they may go limping through
business life the rest Of their days.
Which is the explanation Of the often
witnessed phenomenon Of talent being out
distanced by dullness. The dull who appre-
cate their limitations and strive to com
pensate by patience and concentration are
always likely in the end to shine by con-
trast with the clever folk who felt too
sure.
"Dogged does It," said Carlyle. In these
three words there is truth the significance
Of which cannot he over-estimated by any
manufactured, dull, or average-who would
know the JOY that comes from real achieve
ment, and would win place among the
conspicuously successful.
