Wo suggest, that Is to sny, the enactment of a. law providing thnt when a homicidal degenerate lies in wait for n woman and shoots but falls to kill her ho should bo hanged by tho neck Just tho samo. The fact that ac cident, bad aim or Interference may prevent such a person from achieving the murder which Is In his heart should not savo him from tho legitimate con sequences of his Intentions. In all such cases tliero Is dellbcrato murder In spir it and It Is tho Intent rather than tho actual deed which should count. Many a man has gone to tho gallows for homi cide committed under provocation or In tho heat of pasBlon, and such n mnn Is far less guilty than tho fellow who In cold blood strives to murder but Is pre vented by one cause or another from slaying his victim outright There Is eptlrcly too much shooting of womon nowadays. Drunken, worthless hus bands nnd Jealous, reckless admirers have got Into the habit of killing or trying to kill the unfortunate women who excite their Jealousy or their re sentment. Sometimes these murderous scoundrels mitigate their guilt by blow ing their own heads off. This Is an act of partial Justice, nut when such vol untary reparation Is neglected the law should take up tho task of vengeance. When the would-be woman killer falls to kill himself Justlco ought to take him In hand nnd kill hltn. Ytz.1 BAINK in. BROS. SAVIINQS I3IL.UINCIS.

Tho olIlceholdcrH In tho depart ment never showed any other disposi Tho Czar Is said to hnvo refused 1250,000,000 offered him by tho German bankers. There havo Iweu rumors be foro than theCznr was not quite right In tho head. A New York woman after securing n divorce declared that her ex-husband was "the soul of honor." She probably got tho divorce merely because she hud reason to believe It would bo easy. Mr. Itockefeller'N physician says thnt the oil king's life jwllcy has been "nev er to glvu lu when he knows ho Is right." It has also been his jwllcy never to glvu up what ho could hang uu to. 1'rcstdcnt Itoosuvelt announces that ho will write no more magazine arti cles during his term of olllce. He has probably discovered that the best way to get his views before the public Is by muting them known to the reiwrters. 1'coplo who leave "footprints on tho ands of tlmo" do not wear themselves out worrying over tho little things, the Inconsequential things of life. The man who stops every few minutes to take tho sand out of his shoes while travel ing life's rood will uever arrive any where. Don't worry over tho little things In life. There Is nelthor hnppl noss, honor nor glory lit It. Prof. Isaac Franklin Ilussell has caused n stir by declaring that all men are liars, If not by Intent, then by ne cessity. Ho knows of nothing else quite so worthless us human testimony. He Itoluts out tho extraordinary dllllculty not only of extracting tho truth from ancient legends overgrown with tho lies of ninny ngei, but even of getting u reasonably trustworthy account of current events. "Thcro nro so many dllllcultles In tho way of proof; some arise from deliberate) mondaclty, others from tho failure of sense Krceptlou or tho Insuniclency of language as a .vehi cle of expression, or from tho tenden cies of bins, patriotic or religious, to de flect sincere and able men from tho right lino of truthful testimony." Per haps mendacity, like marrlago, is essen tially a human convention, and In heaven there Is neither lying nor giving lu lying. Hut, however that may be, It Is universally accepted upon earth as a polite and convenient custom and has been observed In all ages and by tho most enlightened peoples as tho only practicable compromlso with conditions too dlllleult for tho wits of mortal men. A lie Is so easy; truth Is so dlllleult. In n characteristic chapter on veracity Hpeucer practically demonstrated that all men nro liars. Ho says In effect that while wo all profess to lovo tho truth and hate lying, wo do not reallzo thnt uuveraclty Is a universal vice. Tho Supreme Court of Missouri has recently decided that when n mnn asserts that tho article he sells Is the best In the world he may bo guilty of lying, but thnt ho who buys the nrtlclo on the strength of the He nnd lluds himself cheated hns no legnl redress. Wo nro supposed to take such business nourishes with plen ty of salt. Iong ago an English court held thnt under tho common law n mnn who sells razors thnt will not shave Is not liable, btcauso "razors are made to sell, not to shave." There aro some who claim, and perhaps honestly ho lleve, thnt tlfey never wander from the exact truth. Hut they are the biggest llnrs of all, for they deceive even themselves. PITCHED WINNING BALL. HlU Representative civil service reform ers who met in Washington recently to confer with tho national Civil Service Commission paid their respects to tho President, and received from him grati fying Indorsement of their work. "After considerable experience In nlmost every kind of governmental work," said lie, "I have never yet found nny position or branch of tho service as regards which tho Intrusion of political reasons in making appointments does not do dam- age." lie said further that the eervlce was the least etllclent In government olllcea the heads of which tried to clr cumvent tho merit system law. Human nature Is less revengeful than It Is merciful. Given tho abstract prop osition of putting to death one who murders In cold blood, few people would dissent bcyoud those who have reached a reasoned conviction thnt tho death penalty Is not and In the nature of tho case can not bo n successful de terrent to capital crime. Even In a concrete and particularly atrocious case tho first Impulse and effort of all Is to demand and secure tho penalty of death. Hut ns time pns.scs the Impulse dies nwny, tho life of a living human being more and more obtrudes upon tho attention, tho llfo of the dead victim loses in power to Influence action, worthy relatives of tho convicted ono enter to move pity, and so arises a quite general disposition to seize upon every excuse available to prevent the execution of tho sentence. There are In evidence Just uow a great many restless, dissatisfied nnd usually Ignorant people who want Inwa to Ik enacted upou almost every con ceivable subject.

There was great excitement recently at the Oroveport, Ohio, High School Tho baseball teams of tho seniors and lunlors w cro en gaged In a desper ite struggle for tho hamplonshlp. Confident of vie ory were the big loys of the senior class. Their best pitcher was lu lino fettle; their bat 'lug eyes were open -at least they mibs AHM.1,. thought they were. Hut when the first batter for tho seniors stepped to the plate ho gazed toward tho pitcher's box In amazement. In stead of one of the brawny boys of tho other team, a handsome Ul-year-oUl girl stood there, swinging her bared arm for the first Inshoot. Did sho pitch tho game against those stalwart loys? Slo did, and she won It, too. To their chagrin, batter after batter of tbo opposing team struck out. When they managed to lilt tho bull they put up weak little pop tiles. Through the entire nine Innings the girl pitched. She was obliged to pitch well, too, for the umpire was by no means easy upon her. When, largely through her efforts, victory perched upou the banner of the Juniors, the big senior boys took off their caps and gavo her three cheers, A demure-looklug, graceful maiden, something below tho medium height, Is Miss Gertrude Adell. There Is nothing manulsh about her, but tho boys of the Oroveport High School declare that she certainly can play baseball. And pitch, too think of that I Who ever before heard of another girl who could throw a ball straight, much less pitch a team to victory?
