RETROSPECT THAT IS VAIN Surely No High-Priced Lawyer Could Have Surpassed Pathetic Plea of Husband Which Won Her Her Liberty. Thorp was a appro family living in | Bowling Green, Ky. The wife had • a notoriously ungovernable temper, ; usually taking it out on her husband, who was meek and lowly. On this oe- j casion she struck him with a skillet, indicting a wound so painful and dan gerous as to necessitate his having to he taken to the hospital for treat ment. The neighbors, knowiug the violent temper of the wife, and the cruel treatment she had inflicted upon her husband for such a long time, were so outraged they could endure it no longer, and procured s\ warrant for her arrest on the charge of assault , with a deadly weapon. The husband sat through the trial, giving rapt attention to its every de tail. The case was handed over to the jury and after very brief delibera tion it brought in a verdict of guilty. The old darkey husband rose and said: I “Marse Jedge, I don’t reckon noth ing a ole nigger could say would make much diltunce, but I would lak to say j a word before you send the ’old ’oman i to the penitenshy. She’s always been . a good mother to the chillun, all the J neighbors will tell you that. She 1 washes and scrubs and sews and mends for ’em, and keeps ’em clean and nice, an when they’s sick she sits up with ’em at night. And, Marse Jedge, I jest want to ax you if you won’t let her go by the house and see the chillun befo’ you send her to the penitenshy. They’s at home all alone right now, cryin’ they po little hearts ont and it would do ’em good, and the ole ’oman, too, if she could Just go and kiss ’em good-by befo’ she was put In the penitenshy.” By this time the judge and the spec tators were in tears and the judge said: ‘‘Gentlemen of the jury, I haven’t passed sentence yet and if you v. ant a few minutes to further j consider this case, I will be glad to grant it.” The jury retired and in. a few minutes returned with a verdict of “not guilty.” Sailor Values Charm. The king and queen recently re ceived at Windsor castle the Austra lian, New Zealand and South African press delegates now on a visit to Great Britain. His majesty spoke warmly of the gallantry of the Dominions troops, and exchanged recollections of his empire tour of 1901. When Mr. Pirani of New Zealand mentioned the name] of Maggie Papakura, the Maori guide who conducted the king round the hot springs wonderland of Rotorua, the king recalled her at once, and was in terested to learn that she is now In England. The New Zealand delegates found "that Princess Mary knew all . about the pre-war Maori prophecy con cerning the battle-cruiser New Zea land—that she would go into action within a given number of years and would he hit but escape serious dam age if Iter captain wore a Maori tiki (greenstone charm). The first part of the prophecy came true, and so up to date has the second. The captain does not forget to wear his tiki. Mournful Man Has Come to Realize That All Things That Are to Be, Will Be. “I sometimes Jhink as I watch the efficient workings of a cream separa- for," said the stoop-shouldered man, “how much happier my life might have been could 1 hut have had when I was first married a separator, operated somewhat on the same principle, into which my wife’s relatives could have been thrust, the crank turned and by centrifugal or centripetal force—I can never remember which is which—the two kinds divided, like the sheep and the goats of Holy Writ. "Out of one spout would have come the undesirable ones—those who con troverted my cherished theories, dis agreed with roe on various subjects, and jeered at my lack of faculty, the while they borrowed money from me and paid not again, and wore, their sex permitting, such of my Sunday garments as fitted them. And from the other spout would have emerged the good ones—those who tried to pay their way by being sympathetic and tactful, who were diplomatic enough to agree with me when it did not make any particular difference, and occa sionally lent me money and were not forever dogging me to get it back. But, of course, nothing of the kind was then or ever will be Invented. Man was made to mourn and his wife’s kin were made to see that he does mourn.” —Kansas City Star. LONG IN HOLY CITY American Resident of Jerusalem for Many Years. SEEKING USES FOR LIGNITES Federal Bureau of Mines Will Make investigation of What May Be New Fuel Supply. The bureau of mines will make an .investigation to determine the com mercial and economical value of lig nites and the practicability of their, utilization in production of fuel oil, gasoline substitutes, ammonia, tar, solid fuel, gas for power and other pur poses, under the terms of a senate bill which the house of representatives adopted. An appropriation of $100,- 000 was voted. It was argued that the object of the investigation is to -dem onstrate the commercial value of lig nite, which is one-third of the coal de posits of the nation. M. M. Whelan First to Welcome Brit. ish Troops Whfn They Entered— Was Representative There of the Bible Society. * _____ , Although it is a year since Allenby’s victorious arnjy entered Jerusalem, and the greatest Christian shrine in the world was wrested forever from the clutches of the Infidel Turk, one of the must, striking episodes of all those that marked that entry has only re cently become known. To Americans this episode is of especial Interest, since it came as the climax of perhaps the most picturesque of all the many services that have been rendered by the allied nations, and to humanity generally, by individ ual Americans, from Gerard and Brand Whitlock down, since the beginning of the war. For nearly three years, or from early in 1913 until the deliverance of Jerusalem in December, 1917, one of the oldest and most famous of British organizations remained in unblissful Ignorance as to what had become of its “depot” in the Holy City. This or ganization is the British and Foreign Bible society, which like its great sis ter organization in the United States, exists for the purpose of distributing the Good Book among Christians in every part of the world. In February, 1915, or soon after Turkey threw in her lot with the cen tral powers, the Bible society’s depot in Jerusalem, which contained many thousands of volumes, had to be aban doned hastily. The workers there were brought to Egypt on an American warship. From that day until quite re cently nothing whatever was known re garding the fate of the depot or its contents. It was assumed that both had probably been destroyed by the Turks. But then came a letter from the society’s secretary at Port Said in closing one from the commander of the London Scottish, the first British regiment to enter the Holy City. In this officer’s letter the striking story was told of how a venerable American resident of Jerusalem, by name M. M. WHAT WOMEN ARE r>0ING War Relief Work, Church, Club and Social Affairs ♦ • + MRS.

TOO STRONG ON SYMPATHY EMra Parklna Had » Fault From Which Too Many of Us Art Not Quite Frte. ■ -- *: * ♦ ■Ts she gone?” Aunt Harriet In quired breathlessly. ^ Aunt Harriet’s niece, Eileen, turned from the flowers she was arranging— flowers left by the departing guest. “She’s just going down the path,” she replied. “Shall I call her back? Do you want to see her again? Did she leave anything?” “If you call her back, I’ll disown you, even if you are my favorite niece,” Aunt Harriet retorted. “Tell me the mluute the gate dicks.” Eileen’s eyes began to dance. Months of illness had not broken Aunt Harriet’s spirit. She left the" flowers and devoted herself to the window. “Now!” she announced. Aunt Harriet drew a long breath, “I wish,” she declared, “that Elvira Paritfns never had had a mother! There, I’ve said It, and I feel better!” “Aunt Harriet!” Eileen cried, with a laugh that broke bounds In spite of her, “I know, I suppose I ought to be ashamed, and maybe I shall be some day, but just this minute that seems to me the most relieving thing I ever said in my life. Elvira Parkins is a good woman. She wouldn’t hurt the feelings of a fly, and she’d run her feet off doing kind things for people.

Found Platinum Beds. Dr. Herschel C. Parker of Columbia university, while on an exploring ex pedition to Alaska last summer, dis covered extensive platinum beds in the Susitana and Yentna valleys in the Cook Inlet couutry. He brought out a large number of ore samples on his return to the States, and is now engaged in exhaustive tests of the metal. He expects to establish a plant for handling the ore when he goes back to Alaska next spring. “The Alaska platinum ore is low grade,” said Doctor Parker, “but it Is there in abundance. It will have to be handled in large quantities and under scientific methods of economy to make it pay. The question of its commercial value Is simply one of engineering. With the end of the war and the con sequent wide use of platinum for jew elry, I believe the Alaska beds will prove a valuable source of world sup ply.” presented me with a beautiful copy of the Scriptures.” Beyond the fact that M.

A mystery port on the cast coast of England was one of the wonders of the war. Its name is now revealed as Richborough, near Sandwich. Here there is a wide stretch of marshland surrounding the mouth of the River Stour, and upon this has been built a town covering considerably over two thousand acres. From this place one and a quarter tons of stores have been sent to the western front alone. This great new port Is just outside Sand- wich, one of the old Cinque ports fa mous In the days of Queen Elizabeth. The ancient town, where a few years ago the grass was growing in the streets has taken on a new lease of life. Sniper Was Busy.
