Hanging a Woman Those who have been laboring under the illusion that Christianity has been the religion of the civilized world for two thousand years, and that this is a civilized nation, will be surprised to learn that the great state of Connecticut has decided to hang a woman. On March 4, "before sunrise," according to order of the court, she will be marched into the prison yard at Wethersfield and hanged by the neck until dead. Of course, she will be hanged in the dark, because that estimable state will be too ashamed to witness the thing in broad day. And the crime will be committed in the prison yard, because no community in Connecticut would tolerate the thing in its streets. The public will strangle a woman, but it won't have the nerve to stand by to see it done. This woman murdered her husband. James Hew, a farm hand employed by the family, assisted in the killing. He also will hang. In order to even up one murder, the state will commit two others. Mrs. Bessie J. Wakefield is 24. Her husband was much older and treated her with extreme cruelty and neglect. Three times she was forced by his cruelty to leave. And what little pleasures she and her children have enjoyed were purchased by the tender-hearted farm hand, who was led in a moment of frenzied pity for the unfortunate girl to assist in her revenge. Bessie grew up without education, care or training. She had fifteen brothers and sisters, and was always poor. It was in the hope of a decent home that she yielded to the pleas of a lover much older than herself. And the girl was unable to endure him. When this case was brought before Judge L. F. Burpee he dug up a statute written into the books in 1642, when Puritan severity outran Puritan zeal, and laid it across this unfortunate creaturer's soul with its "thou shalt be hanged by the neck until dead!" When shall we dead awake!
The Irish Rebellion The dour hard-headed men of ulster are up in arms against the whole British empire. Now that the century long agitation for Irish home rule is about to come into its own at last, almost a million North-of-Ireland people are fighting it. And their opposition to it so far has proved somewhat more than an Irish joke. Four counties of the province called Ulster, tucked in behind the North Channel opposite Southern Scotland, have fomented the rebellion. In area they total some 3,500 square miles, and in population. more than a million. Belfast, the Chicago of Ireland, is the center of the revolt, with 390,000 inhabitants. The home-rule proposal is that Ireland shall become a self-governing nation to the extent granted other British provinces, such as Canada ; her capital is to be Dublin, and she is to elect representatives to the Irish parliament in the ordinary fashion. Ireland's affairs will be controlled by Irishmen just as Australian affairs are controlled by Australians. For about three generations a group of Irish Nationalists has been in the British parliament fighting for home rule. Ireland has been depicted in orations without number, as a virgin in bondage weeping for liberty. Many times over in the struggle England's army has gazed into the yawning maw of Hibernian revolt, so strenuously has the Emerald Isle panted for her constitutional rights. Even Gladstone was once deposed by the electors of England for ditching Irish home rule at the last moment. It has come to be taken for granted by the whole world that an Irishman prays for two blessings, plenty of potatoes and home rule. And now comes the shock of having almost a million of them fly to arms and oppose the coming of the long coveted. What is the secret cause of this strange reaction? History furnishes one reply and present industrial conditions another. These four counties of Ulster were settled by Protestants, sent over to Protestantize Ireland so long ago as the times of Elizabeth. Xeeessarily these colonists were deep bitten with hatred for all things Roman Catholic. Not proving strong enough to carry the reform across the entire )and, they subsided into a little territory out of which Belfast has since sprung and climed to ndustrial power. Belfast is the ringleader in the present revolt, headed by Sir Edward Carson, the lanky non-compromiser and hot-head. This extraordinary city is as unlike other Irish towns as other Irish towns are unlike New York. Ireland is merely its workship for it exports almost all its products and imports almost all its raw materials. Therefore, Belfast has few strings to its native heath. It is in Belfast that the anti-Catholic pre
judice, long smothered out in Europe and even in England, has continued in full flame. Protestants and Catholics can not even live in the i same quarters of town. They will not speak on ! the streets, and the roughs and toughs of each ! faction embrace every possible opportunity to ! throw bolts, nuts, rocks and ancient eggs at j members of the hated opposite faction. Ulster i Catholics look upon Protestants as despots ; Proi testants look upon Catholics as a degenerate people. Now it happens that Protestants outnumber i Catholics in this province at the rate of about seven to three, and that almost all the stores
and factories are in Protestant hands. But in Ireland as a whole, Catholics, of course, far outnumber Protestants. Belfast Orangemen argue from this that an Irish parliament would be almost entirely a Catholic body, and would embrace every opportunity to give them the worst of the bargain. Resenting this kind of rule, cherishing such an animosity as Americans long schooled in religious tolerance can not even imagine, Ulstermen, and especially Belfast men, are determined to die rather than submit to what they consider will be Catholic domination.
That is one reason for Ulster's threatened revolt. Another lies in the fact that Belfast is a typical modern industrial city with all its problems and needs, while the rest of Ireland is agrarian and provincial. A representative parliament would be composed very largely of unschooled men from the country districts, where even the necessaries of life have almost been luxuries, and would be tempted to use Belfast's enormous wealth as a milk cow for the whole nation. And stubborn, tight-fisted Belfasters are in no humor to stand quietly still during the milking process. Hatred of Roman Catholics, resentment against farmer control ; these mixed and shaken, have made Ulster drunk for rebellion, have filled the cellars of respectable Ulster merchants with Maxims, rifles and cartridges, have led thousands to sign solemn covenants, have persuaded Belfast merchants to take out a hundred million dollars of insurance on their property against the possibilities of loss in war, and have led British army officers to resign their posts in order to take the field in command of Sir Edward Carson's insurrectionists. Thus far Ulstermen have worked out two alternative plans; one, to fight the British army, the other to establish a provisional government in Ulster. One can form a picture of that fight with the British army! The idea is a taking one and would furnish material to the cartoonist! But the provisional government would be equally disastrous and equally quixotic. British banks would withdraw Belfast loans, and Belfast banks would close their doors, mail would cease to arrive from England, Scotland or the outside world, telephone and telegraph service, managed by the government, would instantly cease; old-age pensions would not be paid, imperial grants would be withdrawn, throwing the entire burden of supporting public schools, hospitals, etc., on local persons, and Belfast would lose the bulk of her extraordinary trade with England. In other words, Belfast, along with the four rebelling counties of Londonerry, Downs, Antrim and Armagh, would be placed under social and industrial quarantine. On top of the utter fallacy of these proposed moves is the fact that Ulster's fears are almost wholly groundless. Protestants scattered over the rest of Ireland entertain no such fears of Catholic despotism ; and it is hardly possible that Belfast would be discriminated against unjustly in taxes since all other Irish cities would have to pay the same rate. All this, we may say, is a resume of press reports and comments and may be taken at its face value. It is manifestly impossible for us, placed as we are at such a distance from the the scene of the trouble, to see the situation in all its various qualifying phases. We have no part nor rights except those of the interested, but impartial, bystander.
NEW CHIEF OF ' PATENT OFFICE
THE ANGEL OF PATIENCE
To weary hearts, to mourning homes. God's meekest angel gently comes: No power has he to banish pain, Or give us hack our lost again; And yet in tenderest love our dear And heavenly father sends him here. There's quiet in that angel's glance, There's rest in his still countenance J He mocks no grief with idle cheer. Nor wounds with words the mourner's ear: But ills and woes he may not cure He kindly trains us to endure. Angel of Patience! sent to calm Our feverish brows with cooling palm; To lay the storms of hope and fear. And reconcile life's smile and tear; The throbs of wounded pride to still. !nd make our own our father's will: O thou who mournest on the way. With longings for the close of day: He walks with thee, that angel kind. And gently whispers, "Be resigned: Bear up. bear on, the end shall tell The dear Lord ordereth all things well!" John Greenleaf Whittier.

Sunday school pupils assisted in the program. Mr. Learner spoke of the courage of Martin Luther in carrying on the work ev-n against the threats of the Catholic dignitaries. "The Home Missions Board was established in this synod forty-four years ago," declared the pastor. During that time 724 churches have received aid through the board's activities. Of that number are now self supporting. In all 155.000 members have been placed on the church rolls by the work of the missionary board. "Funds aggregating $1,700,000 have bf n received by the board and parceled out to the various interests draw, ing upon the treasurer for support. Since lvr; the Sunday schools of the synod have contributed f;2o.OO gained by special services of the school." The evening's program, consisting of musical selections and readings, was largely in the hands of the children of the Sunday school. The little folks wore heartily appreciated by the Ifsrge audience present despite inclement weather.
ies and among the less educated people of the country, but each in turn have failed to stand the test. So in the end the entire problem evols back to the church for solution. Churches everywhere are feeling this responsibility and awakening to the results that may be accomplished by work along that line. "Home missionary work Is a paying proposition. The increased membership of the churches and the gain in financial support are all indications of whether or not the work pays. Kvcry ear many thousand people enter the churches and take up membership duties who have been reached solely through the home mission field workers. The increased membership is ilostly followed with increased financial support which in turn gives the church a much larger backing to fur ther its work."

HOW A BROOKLYN GIRL
"There is still a vast uncovered field for home missions," declared the Rev. C. R. Isley, or the Second Lutheran church in Sunday morning's servicf. "The immigrants, slums of metropolises, igonrant people of the mountains, are all fit subjects for the home missionary society and there are fields in which people of these types live. "The responsibility of the home missionary work lies at the door of the church and the Christ's institution, must respond. There is no organized body of workers to carry the work of Christ into the hearts of the immigrants except the church and it must take up the work and carry it on. "There have been movements at times to organize bodies to take up home mission work in the thickly populated settlements of the larger cit-

Got Strong and Well Again. Grace D. Lamb of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I was all run-down and on the verge of nervous prostration. I could not sleep for pain in my back. In all I was a wreck. A friend told me what Vinol had done for her little girl, so I tried it. I noticed an improvement after the first bottle. I could sleep well, my appetite improved, and after taking three bottles I am strong and well again." Vinol is the most efficient strength creator for such women. It is the medicinal elements of the cod's livers contained in Vinol aided by the blood making and strengthening properties of tonic Iron which makes it bo far superior to all other tonics to build up health and strength for weak, tired, ailing women. It contains no oil and has a delicious taste. We give back your money if Vinol does not do all that we claim. Leo H. Fihe, Druggist, Richmond, Ind. P. S. If you have any skin trouble, try Saxo Salve.
