IT IS TRUE THAT YOU Why Spend Time Regretting Something that Gave You Pleasure Just Because You Didn't Happen to Know It Was Something Else. BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "You can never tell." This is a convenient, descriptive and tpropos little combination of words ibat can be variously applied. If you don't know a thing, what's the difference? None. In instance. A few weeks ago a set of musicians at the Murray, costumed 'Ike troubadours and playing in an accomplished way on a number of dif ferent instruments, were greeted over whelmingly and given many recalls during the entire week. They were, it deed, one of the best "attractions" the vaudeville theatre has ever had. One, with a charming voice, sang an operatic excerpt in Italian and they were generally accredited to that na tion although many thought them Spaniards. The truth is they were colored peo ple" So race prejudice is frequently only a matter of thinking. People were delighted with them not because they were Italians or Spaniards, white Americans or of the Nogro race, but because they were h'iperlor musicians. It is one of life's famed trage dies that these people should have to Masquerade, after a fashion, in order to have their talents appreciated for what they really were. The writer remembers at one time io have met Mr. Charles W. Chestnutt, a well known American author with Negro blood in his veins, at the meet or an association of people of literary and artistic affiliations. Chestnutt could not be distinguish ed as to race, since he is almost white, with light hair. And since he was of accomplished and elegant manners, having lived many years abroad and speaking several languages, and was, l i addition, a brilliant and interesting man whose novels sold widely, many of them appearing in serial form in tho Century Magazine and otherwhere, he was a conspicuous figure. Everyone was delighted with Mr. Chestnutt. After his departure the writer was approached by several women of vari ous ages who had been charmed with the socjety of the well known author, and interrogated her as to whether or not. she knew Mr. Chestnutt's race. Assuredly. Then why didn't you tell us? Why? Well er if we had known er Now the truth is that the details of the personality of a man of distinction arc usually available to the public. They liked and admired the novelist fir his personality, and were flattered by being en rapport with so well known a personage. Mr. Chestnut bore himself faultlessly. So what was the difference? Imagination plays a larger part in ev ery day life than people admit or im agine, to make something of a bull. Once i household in this city had a maid who was given to dropping things. The family had lor luncheon one day tome peculiarly delicious young peas. The mistress afterward complimented 'he cook upon her toothsome prepara tion of this dish. "I hate to tell you, ma'am," said the latter, "but I let the dish fall on the floor and the peas flew every direc tion, and I was so scared I scooped them up and never said a word about It." The writer remembers once, too, to have had a conversation with a mur derer, and, not knowing he was a mur derer, thought him a very pleasant sort of elderly man. The man had served a long prison term but as there were "mitigating cir cumstances" had been pardoned. The truth is the man was justified in killing the man he shot if anybody h ever justified in killing anybody. Very few people murder in cold blood and with calculating intent. It is gen erally done in the heat of passion or PROSECUTOR HAAS WON BOYVILLE CASE Prosecutor Harlow Haas on his first case at the opening session of court this morning, in the newly organized "boys' city" at the Y. M. C. A., when he convinced Judge Pettijohn that one of the association lads was guilty of "rough-housing." Donald Warfel and Eugene Bowman, appearing for the de fendant, attempted to prove his in nocence by establishing the fact that the defendant got the worst of the fight for which he was "pinched," but the judge finally proclaimed the de fendant guilty, and warned him that ten days' suspension from the associa tion would follow the next offense. Boy members of the Y. M. C. A. were quite interested in the first court of their city, and are now enthusiastic over the idea of self-government. RETAIL MERCHANTS (National Nwi Association) DULUTH, Minn., Feb. 21. Govern or Eberhart of Minnesota, President : Louis W. Hill of the Great Northern Railway, and President John W. Lux of the National Grocers' Association head the list of scheduled speakers at the annual convention of the Min nesota Retail Grocers and General Merchants' Association, which assem bled in this city today for a two days' session. Several hundred merchants are In attendance from all over the State. Garnishment laws and the ped dler evil are two of the important sub jects slated for discussion.

A revolving blade which is screwed down into the contents of the utensil as a handle 1 turned, is a feature of COT ALWAYS TELL through a frenzy of abnormal feeling of some sort. A "murderer" at whom you shudder is very much like you are. Everybody is a potential murderer. You know perfectly well there are times when It is only a lucky accident that you are left outside the bastlle. Lots of people throw things. Suppos ing some day you hit a mark instead of going beside it. Then you'd be handcuffed and haul ed to jail and be caged up as danger ous to the community and for the saf ety of society would be railroaded to prison for life or may be hanged or electrocuted. There is a good deal said about the "coolness" of murderers at the time they are led toward the place of execu tion. Of their "hardened" demeanor. Of their stolidity of manner. One o fthe finest traits in humanity is stoicism under suffering. One of the finest traits in humanity to be proud of when one of their kind is led to execution without resistance and without a murmur of fear. The papers exclaimed in spectacular headlines over the "sneer" and the hardihood of young Beatty as he ap proached the electric chair. The ex pression of stoicism was interpreted into a "sneer" by the accomplished lieadliner. No finer exhibition of courage was ever shown than that of this youth vho had committed a dastardly crime. Although its causes were attributable to our false social system. It was said he read the papers with avidity and conned over and over those para graphs which referred to the main tainance of his nerve. It was thought that h took a pride in displaying a Spartan manner in order to live up to tnese picturesque portraits painted by ' the press." Whatever or whoever the cause, makes no matter he died like a Spar tan. Though, rather, he was murdered. For when the state executes it is mur der and cold-blooded, planned mur der. Capital punishment does not be long to the Christian era. As long as alleged Christians include the death penalty in their role of social regula tion so long will they be ranked out Kide the pale. They are not Christian nations. Killing people will not stop crime. It never has and never will. The pre vention of crime will come from the other end of the pole.

To return, however, it is just as well not to know too much about a lot o'f things. People, in instance. Why be advised of the fact that Tones, who seems a decent sort of chap, bullies his wife, beats his chil dren, keeps a strangle clutch on the purse strings and jews down his em ployees to the last penny. That Mrs. Blank who rolls her eyes to heaven and sighs in public for soul uplifts, who is referred to as "sweet" "philanthropic," and "altrurian," is a rgular feminine tight-wad on the side, will haggle "all day over a penny, has a vixenish temper, hen-pecks her hus band and locks up the cake. That dear, demure little Marjorie, who runs hither and yon waiting on people and smiling brilliant smiles, who is the storm center of the Chris tian Endeavor and is called a "dear l;ttle thing so simple and ingenuous," is the most scheming, intriguing little hypocrite in two states and carries on a sanctified flirtation with every man who looks her way.
