Richard Stenger of Waukegan Won Male From HaafBan, According to Old Law There used to be one certain method of Intercession^ for the life of a criminal sentenced to death In New ^ork state. All that was necessary, •uys the New York Sun, was for an unmarried' woman, clad only In a chemise, to gu to the gallows at the time the trap was scheduled' to be sprung, Intercede with the sheriff in charge and promise to marry the condemned. The sheriff then had no alternative under the law as It then stood. It was a curious old law, based upou nobody knows what, and apparently a hnnddown" from the Dutch burghers of New Amsterdam. But the woman, to qualify as the prisoner's sailor, had to be unmarried, had to be without all articles of clothing except the specifically required chemise and had to promise to marry on the spot. On one knowu occasion an unmarried woman, qualifying on all points, availed herself of the privilege conferred by the ancient law. It was in May, 1784, when Marinas Willett, subsequently mayor of New York, was sheriff. Sheriff Willett scratched his head, looked up the law and commuted the death sentence Into a life partnership between the condemned and his fair Intercessor. .

Influenced by Bible The list of authors whose work shows the Influence of the Bible might be said to be endless, but we cite a few examples: Coleridge said, "In tense study of the Bible will keep any man from being vulgar in point of style." Daniel Webstei said, "If there be anything in my style or thought to be commended, the credit Is due to my kind parents In Instilling Into m.\ mind an early love of the Scriptures. A Scotch nurse taught Byron to love the Bible and his "Uehrew Melodies" are drawn wholly from the Scriptures.

The first friction matches were" coated with sulphur and tipped with a mixture of chlorate of> potash, sulphide of antimony and powdegfd gum, and were lighted by drawing through a piece of bent sandpaper. I<ater. phosphorus tipped matches were manufactured: sulphur and chlorate of potash were mixed with the phosphorus. Various manufacturers use different formulas. A typical formula Is: phosphorus, 17 parts; glue. 21 parts; red lead, 24 parts; nitre. 38 parts. Safety matches contain no phosphorus, the principal Ingredient being chlorate of potash; the striking Sui'aoe on iiie" box is a mixture of red phosphorus and sand. roints For and Against the Lending of Boole* A movement against lending books has been started In the Interests op authors and booksellers. The argument is that the book lender makes book prices high because the borrower does not bu^. "Publishers would sell at least twice as many books If friendly lending stopped." This may or may not be true; there is no way of proving it. It may well be that the person who couldn't borrow a book from its private owner would get it from a libiflry, or wouldn't get It at all. On the other hand, the borrower of a book sometimes takes such a liking to It that be buys It for his own collection, or for a Christmas or birthday gift. What we find so hard to understand about the book business is that the publishers' are opposed to any Idea that tends to make reading easy and popular. They are opposed to bookbuying clubs; they Insist on expensive paper and stiff bindings; and yet they complain because, the average individual refuses to gamble $2.50 to $3 on a blurb jacket. No doubt the price of books would come down If there were more buyers; there would also be more buyers if the price should come down. ::~-*i>«troit News. - , . , . rr^ • Some Discomforts in Early Railroad Travel When railroading lt> this country was in the experimental stage, now more than a century ago, a traveler related in an article published In papers of that time how be had to wait oa the platform of the station at Charleston, S.

"JUNE MOON" IS PRESENTED T AT THE SELWYN THEATRE That highly successful theatrical producer, Sam H. Harris, is presenting at the Selwyn Theatre, Chicago, "June Moon", which has been unanimously declared by all Chicago critics as the funniest, Smartest and wittiest play that has been seen in the Windy City for many a day. The book of "June Moon" was written by two of America's best known humorists and playwrights, viz, Ring Lardner of "You Know Me, Al" fame and George S. Kaufman, dramatic editor of the New York Times and the most successful author of stage plays of the present day. Last September Mr. Harris formed a company of "June Moon" and opened it at the Broadhurst Theatre in New York, where it clicked from the start and ever since capacity houses have ruled. The story of "June Moon" is redundant with human interest, with countless laughs and an occasional tear and for those who enjoy infectious humor of the sparkling variety, "June Moon" is heartily recommended to all lovers of the theatre. When the company in New York had been stamped by both critic and public as an enormous success, both from a financial as well as an entertainment of rare pleasure, Mr. Harris, the producer, formed a company for Chicago consumption, securing a cast of players that fit their respective roles with a glove-like nicety and ' which includes: James Spottswood, who last appeared in Chicago in "Excess Baggage"; Edith Arnold, last season with Richard Bennet in "Jarnegan"; Edward Woods, who has appeared in Chicago in "Cradle Snatchers", "The Spider" and "Broadway"; Edith Van Cleve, who was with Jane Cowl in "Smilin Thru"#^ ^ Ruth Holden, last appearing in Chic a g o in s u p p o r t of G e o r g e J e s s e l i n l » » , "The JazzrSinger"; also prominent infh . ; the cast are Murray Smith, Fred Ir-,^. ving Lewis, John Daly Murphy, Ross^ Hertz, Harold Grau, Cyrena SmithH V and Beatrice Powers. ^'J| Following the usual custom of thefcf"L\.,£ Selwyn Theatre, especial attention is^ paid to all mail orders, the matinees^ being Thursday and Saturday, with! the best seats for Thursday matineefl"^'. $2 and $2.50 at the Saturday matineev' < The evening prices range from $3 forfi«? , the entire lower floor, with the bal-§ft cony &om $2.50 to $1. .• FORESTER DANCE • St. John's Court, No. 96, CathoTfcf , Order of Foresters, will hold its an-uf " nual dance on Wednesday evening^yJ ' Jan. 22, at the Parish hall in Johns b u r g .
