? ' HE KILLED HER. A young woman of Peoria, 111., committed suicide in her room at a hotel by shooting herself.. She had been taken to the hotel l>y her lover, to whom she had surrendered her honor and nil that a woman holds dear, on a promise of marriage. 1 He took her to the room to tell her , that he was to be married to another .1- .i 4l.?|? Inllmunv ! young woman ami mm un-n ^ must con so. Then ho left her. The shock killed her. The pistol with which she took her life was a mere handy instrument. That which killed her was the brutal revelation of the man she had loved. lie killed her. IMrate of innoceney and virtue that he was, ho first robbed her. body and soul, and then, pirate-like, set her adrift?a battered wreck of woman-' hood. Me killed her. And yetIn the eyes of (ho law this social brigand had committed no crime! The ; law tried to hold him responsible and failed. lie killed her. If lie had broken into the poor girl's room and robbed her of her clothes he eouhl have been sisit to the penitentiary because clothes are "property," and the law Is very strict concerning the theft of goods and chattels, you know. Or? Ilad he taken the pistol Into Ills own hand and held it to the girl's temples he would have been, according to tho Inw. made and provided, a murderer, but be was too careful mid dclibernto and cold blooded for that. Ho drove her to use the pistol herself. He killed her. Mind you, there was no question as to (lie facts, and there was small denial upon Ills part. lie had deceived the girl under solemn promise of marriage and then tiling her away from him. lie found her an innocent and trustful woman and deliberately set about to make her a "thing." He ruinbut in the eyes of the law ho had committed no offense. O Justice, we eulogize you, and we put your tl iure over the portals of our court houses, blindfolded and holding your scales, but you are not merely blind; you are deaf and dumb and senile and crippled. "THINKCGRAMS." Each of us is a wireless telegraph station for the transmission of thought, and each of us Is his own operator. Wo scud our silent messages day and night from our station to other stations. The things we think are the messages we send and receive. "As a man tlilnketh In Ills heart so is he." If we think good thoughts and helpful thoughts wo send out and receive messages of good and of helpfulness. Every Instrument that Is attuned to this kind of messages receives and sends out such "thinkogranis." And? If we think evil and destructive thoughts we send out?and receive? 1 evil and destructive thought messages. Or Soine may send out messages for 1 lielp ami assistance, just as Jack Itlnns. tho wireless how, who sent his "C Q l!)" calls from the sinking ship over ' tho Atlantic. And, beliovo me, there I aro receiving Instruments so delicate i they receive such appeals. Each operator adjusts his Instrument I to take only what he wants to hear, ( just as the wireless machine Is adjust- 1 ed to receive only one kind of aerograms. ^ Some of us have failed properly to I attune our thought machines, and they send out and receive all sorts of jumbled and discordant messages. Mind you? ii If your thought transmitter sends t out a smile message, a message of c smiles comes hack; a frown message a brings back frowns; a hateful ines- h sage hate, and so on. si l'ou say this is fanciful? h It Is not. In so far as mental telop- p athy has been Investigated it Is the o; same sort as the wireless telegraphy. It all depends upon the attuning of the h Instruments to tho waves. You do not understand how the wire- 11 less operator aboard tho ship sends al tho dots and dashes out on the waves si of (ho air to the station on the land, d< do you? But they go! nl So you do not understand how your hi thought messages go out over the lo waves of mental transmission to the sensitized brain station of another, al but? er They go! to How necessary that wo should attune the delicate machinery of thought telegraphy so that only the good and i true and brave 't hi ideograms" shall gn come and go. ns toi SACRILEGIOUS YOUTHS. on The Memorial day parade was pass- ri;, ing by. nr, The Sons of Veterans, acting as es- (a| cort of honor, were in advance of the old soldiers, some of whom were w( marching, and some, too feeble to acl march, wero being conveyed In auto- wj mobiles. ne, Suddenly, out from a cross street, m( came an auto with its "honk, honk, cj1. honk." It was occupied by two giggllng girls and two callow boys. ga The machine plunged into the parade tll( just behind the band, the silly girls is giggling and the silly boys making tlu noises after their kind. n And thus the machine remained bo ~ far as the present writer could boo. ,ujj An old Indy who stood 011 the side.walk?she was the widow of a veteran ?exclaimed as tho tears rolled down ^ bet* cheeks: [b -JZOh, ? It was sacrilege indeed. Of course the flippant youngsters did not so regard it. They were out for a holiday lark and were unconscious of any special irreverence. That is (he pity of it. The incident is typical. A disregard of sacred things is common to a certain class of youths. To these pert young people a day set apart for patriotic uses makes no appeal. The flag is only a bit of bunting w11limit Kltmlficaiiee. And patriotism/ Why, (hat is fit only for old men who wear bronze buttons. Is it not so? And this uncaring, indifferent disposition is often fouiul to exist alongside a seeming contempt for parental authority, a disregard for the aged and a general recklessness for the rights of others. Perhaps 1 am an old fogy, but do you know what I wanted to do with the saucy quartet of the auto? I wanted to take them, male find female, one by one. across my knee and teach them the first principles of decency and respect. Who is to blame? Parents and teachers. It is easy to cultivate in the heart of a child an understanding of the self sncrllice of patriotic endeavor and a deep seated love of American institutions. No child thus instructed would do what these malapert youngsters did on Memorial day. LIVING WITH PEOPLE. Human life Is n school, and one of Its most difficult lessons is the art of living with people. It Is not easy to live with people. At the best there Is friction. To live In this world with people means wounds made in contact, Injustices suffered, annoyances, misunderstandings, heartaches. One must needs cultivate self forgetfulness, self control, good cheer, charity. One must learn to overlook an unklndness, forget a discourtesy and endure In his opthnlsm. 11*1-1 - A As some one has said. "We need to have our sharp corners rubbed off and to learn sweet reasonableness and tolerance for other people's points of view." In practice many of us really forget at times that there are other people In the world. Note a few little things: Does the woman who wears tho unconscionably big hat seriously realize; how Inconvenient she makes It for others? And the woman with the long sharp hatpin, which endangers the eyes of her neighbors? Some peoplo will carry a closed umbrella In such a way as to trip pedestrians or impale them with the sharp ferrule. Others will stop a friend in the middle of the sidewalk and compel the stream of humanity to eddy around them. ( >r <iiw?

Little things? 4 Yes, and mostly the result of 1 thoughtlessness, a forgetting that ^ there are other people with whom one must live. 4 I say nothing of the disagreeable { >erson who Is loud or fussy or grouchy 4 >r dictatorial, deliberately refusing to ive amicably with other people. i Let us not forget that even should * ve get to heaven we must live with j >eople. 1 Th/?

To the Merchar T ESS than ten years ago we started the first modern method shoe factory in the South. I This year we will manufacture more shoes than any of our competitors in such old and well-known markets as New York,' Philadelphia and Baltimore, although some of these manufacturers have been doing a successful business for thirty or forty years. We have demonstrated that we can manufacture a shoe which will wear longer than other shoes, and will look well as long as it lasts. We have demonstrated that our workmanship is superior to the workmanship in the factories of the West, and that it equal's the workmanship put on shoes of the . i I same price made anywhere on eartn. We are selling more shoes in the South than any of our competitors. We are the only manufacturers outside of New England who h.?"re able to sell their product successfully ! in the large Eastern cities, such as g Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and a Boston. Our values justify our selling 3 our product anywhere. We prefer selling the output of our factories in the South, as this is our legitimate territory..
