MOTH EH VETOES GIRL'S LEAP YEAR PROPOSAL Sweet Mart, Only 18, Meekly As sonti and Leap Year Club I)ls ihaixlrf. Central Village, Conn. In an ordi nary year, when a young man ex claims, "I love you, dearest. Will you be my wife?" the coy maiden blush lngly answers, "Yea, but ask papa." ' Conversely, the law now stands that when a maiden takes advantage of leap year and proposes she shall not do so until she has asked her mam ma If she may and mamma has an swered "Yes." At least, the law so stands In the village of Danielson, near here. Ma rie Sweetster well named sweet sixteen, and several of he? girl friends formed a Leap Year club they agreed to propose and bo mar ried this very year, to there. Now Miss Mnrle had a sweetheart. Charlie Baker, a nice fellow. Miss Marie was certain that Charlie had advanced far enough lit her love-tutoring to be a safe proposal, so, stam meringty, she proposed. "Sure," said Charlie, just 'like that. He asked her to go motoring the next day, slelghrldlng the next. They had fixed the day for the wedding before Mrs. Sweetster called down stairs: "Marie, It's half past nine o'clock. Tell that young fellow to go home or I'll show him." Not being from Missouri, Charlie went home. But Marie -was very hap py so happy that she determined to share her happiness with mamma yes terday. "Mamma, you know it's leap year" she began. "What's that got to do with you?" Interrupted Mm.' Sweetster. "I asked Charlie t te marry me," faltered Marie, "and he consented." ; "Oh, you dM, eh?" returned mam m, scornfully. "You, in short frocks with your hair down your back and without even asking me your moth er. What would you live on you and your boy Walt till I get hold of Mm. Now, listen to me, miss.

Foster, I'nlver slty of Chicago, Denounces Capital PuitlHlinimt. Chicago, 111. "I object to capital punishment on the basis of Justice itself," said Professor George B. Fos ter, University of Chicago, speaking before the Society of Anthropology in the Masonic Temple. "Roosevelt talked a lot about 'equal and exact justice for ell,' to use his fine, classic phrase, but who is to say what Is exact Justice? He probably gained his Idea from the bible saying about 'a tooth for a tooth," but an exchange of teeth would not neces sarily be a just operation. "For Instance, one of my teeth would not recompense Roosevelt for the loss of one of his. No more does the taking of human life recompense society for the crime of murder. "Some people claim that capital punish -nent Is a deterrent of crime, but that U not proved by history. A hundred years ago In England men were executed for horse stealing and even for smaller thefts but those crimes continued. If hanging did not deter horse thieves it will not deter murderers. "Of course, hanging is the simp lest way to dlspoe of an undesirable citizen but the duty of society is to study the criminal and to help him reform. Too many persons forget that the murderer is, after all, a man and that we all of us are members of the human race, bound up In the same great bundle of life. "I, for one, refuse to be a silont partner in an institution that delib erately snuffs eut human life arbi trarily, and when- a man Is hanged In this democratic country he is hanged by all of us. "Occaslona ly the bible Is quoted to prove that Christ approved of cap ital punlshnmnt I can recall only the words of Jesus to the mob which gathered to Mone a woman, 'Let him among you yho Is without sin cast the f'rst sto.uS' Stones would have reached the body of tha woman but the kindness reached her spirit and she was forever reformed. We should exercise more charity and iess ven geance In our treutment of crim inals." Bessie Wixn't That Kiwi. "I wouldn't drink, out of that cup" said little Johnny to tho well-dressed young Btranger, "that's Bessie's cup, and she'B very particular who drinks out of it."
