Among the many editorial com- ments on the execution of the English nurse by the MISS Germans, the .follow- CAVELL ing taken from the Kalispell Bee seems to be the most logical: The ex- ecution of Miss Edith Cavell, an English nurse, by the military authorities of Germany has raised a storm of indignant protest thru- out the English speaking world. Miss Cavell was convicted of hav- ing assisted English and Belgian soldiers in escaping from the German lines, and for this of- fense was condemned to die. In spite of appeals for clemency by American officials and others, Miss Cavell was shot to death by a German firing squad a few hours after sentence had been pronounced. For this act the German nation has been denoupc- ed as a barbarous and uncivilized fullest protection of the army against spies and secret cabals. The death of Miss Cavell was a most deplorable incident, but when it comes to condemning the whole German nation on this ac- count, let the nation that is with- out fault, cast the first stone.

October 26th, 1915. J. SHULL, Attorney for Administritrix. The execution of the helpless 10-29-11-2-5-9-12-16. woman whose only crime has been the act of helping her fel- low countrymen in distress, must be abhorrent to every right think- ing person:Win acf does not prove that the Germans are de- void of chivalry, nor is there any proof of the charge that Germany is the only so called civilized na- tion that could be guilty of such an act. On the contrary history is replete with incidents which prove that the English and French speaking nations have been guilty of acts quite asitarbarous and in- human as the execution of Miss Cavell. Invariably these acts have been the result of great pub- lic excitement, but some of them could not be excused upon the ground of public safety or mili- tary necessity, which is the reas- on given by the Germans for the - execution of Miss Cavell. The American editors who are condemning all Germans as bar- barians should turn to the news- paper files of 1865 and read of the execution of Mrs. Surrat, for complicity in the death of Presi- dent Lincoln. Booth, the assassin of Lincoln, had boarded with Mrs. Surrat and the conspirators had . met in her house, but there was no proof that Mrs. Surrat had any knowledge of their plans, and it was fully established that she had no part in the assassination of Lincoln. Yet public opinion demanded a victim to atone for the death of the President, and Mrs. Surrat was hanged like a dog for the crime of which she was innocent. The war was over and no question of public safety was involved, and the nation, which committed that crime is hardly in a position to rail against the \barbarous\ Germans. His- tory is full 4::d simular incidents from the time Joan of Arc to the present day, which only goes to prove that all nations do things in times of stress which they would not do at other times. The German army now stands with its back to the wall, sur- rounded by enemies, and fighting for the very life of the nation. Under such circumstances one can understand the strain of DO - he sentiment which demands the declared that none but the Ger- mans could be guilty of such a wanton and inhuman act.

He traced his lineage back to an English nobleman who came to America in 1680 and begot a numerous progeny. Maitland owned a large farm well stocked and had money in bank. Despite his having always lived in the country, there was something in his makeup that smacked of the blue blood in his veine. Lillian Maitland, his daughter, was even nearer to the manner born than her father. She was the apple of his eye. He sent her to boarding school and when- she returned provided her with a $500 piano. He even meditat- ed sending her to the city iu the hope that she might possibly marry there and thus start a process of climbing back to the position the family had once occupied. One harvest season Maitland hired a farm hand. Elijah Jones was his name, and he was the homeliest man that ever trod upon the Maitland farm. He was a epuntryman from the soles of his feet to the topmost fiery red lock of his hair. 4 Elijah saw Lillian Maitland, and one look was sufficient to fill his heart with the wildest emotions. He was one of those young men who do not scruple to step in where angels fear to tread. There was a tradition In Ilia family that if a man wishes to win a girl for his wife he should ask per- mission to do so from her parents. Eli- jah marched up to Farmer Maitland, who was tossing hay with a pitchfork from a wagon into the hayloft of the barn, and said: \Mr. Maitland, have you any objec- tion to my asking your daughter Lil- lian to marry me?\ \Wh-a-t?\ cried Maitland, fancying that he had not heard aright. Elijah repeated. \You get off this farm as fast as your legs will carry you or I'll make it hot for you.\ Elijah slowly turned and obeyed the order. Maitland threw down his pitch- fork and, stalking into the house, con- fronted Lillian. \What have you been doing,\ he Rat- ed, \to encourage that red headed Jones to come to me to ask for you?\ Lillian convinced her father that she had done nothing, and so far as he was concerned thd matter was dropped from his mind. Not so with the girl. The farm hand had paid her the high- est compliment man can pay woman, and the reply to that compliment was an order to leave the farm Her -sense of justice was shocked. She hoped that Elijah wont - pat ht.uumrlf hr her HY; that she might tell him of her sympa- thy. But Elijah, true to the tradition on which he had acted, having been refused by the parent, disdained to ap- ply over his head to the daughter and kept out of her way. Ten years passed. Lillian Maitland had become an old maid. A number of young men of her own class had wanted her, but her father had looked over the heads of all of them for a husband for his daughter. Lillian did not fall in love with any of them; con- sequently she never rebelled. Down in her heart was a memory of the red headed, freckle faced man who had asked for her and his cruel treatment by her father. That father was now dead, and she might marry whom she pleased. But at thirty women are harder to please than at twenty and are not so attractive to men. At any rate Miss Maitland showed no signs of matrimony. One day a man well dressed and prosperous looking unlatched her gate and walked up to the house. Lillian saw him coming and met him at the door. He had red hair, but it was cropped close. He wore a tall hat, and his overcoat was silk lined. His boots were blackened, and he carried a cane in his gloved hand. \Is Mr. Maitland at home?\ he in- quired. \Mr. Maitland is dead.\ There was a pause, after which the man said: \Years ago I asked a favor of Mr. Maitland. I have been wonder ing ever since how I had the asqiiran( e to do so.\ \Won't you come in?\ When the two were seated on site sides of the living room the visitor continued: \I'm sorry Mr. Maitland is -dead. An attorney has recently come from Eng- land hunting for an heir to a title and a large estate. Mr. Maitland was the person he was looking for, and, Mr. Maitland being dead, the estate falls to me. A hundred years ago there were two brothers named Maitland. Mr. Maitland descended from one of them, I frone the other. If Mr. Maitland had left a son he would now be the heir. As it is I am the heir.\ There was a long silence after this speech. Miss Maitland looked down at the floor. \I asked Mr. Maitland,\ the visitor went on, \for permission to win his daughter.\ \So that Is where you learned such things!\ interrupted Lillian. \It was handed down to you from our English ancestors?\ \I suppose so. I have thought that perhaps if Mr Mnitland mom 11,-fin g , and knew that we came of the same stock''— The sentence was never finished. , The man arose from his seat and went ' over to where Lillian was sitting. She looked up at him, their eyes met, and a romance of ten years fous3d its de- nouement TURNED THE TABLES. Ck show Manager Who Got Even With an Obst:nate Landlord. In the book of reminisce -race that P. T. Bprumn, the famous showman, wrote forty years ago there 'is an amusing anecdote that recalls the days wile(' the one ring circus was the chief attraction of the long, hot summer. The incident occurred when we were ft Hanover Court House. in Virginia. wrote Mr. Barnum. It rained so heav- ily that we could not perform there. and Turner. manager of the show, de- cided to start for Richmoud imme- diately ager dinner. He was informed by the landlord that as our agPnt had engaged three meals and lodging for the whole com- pany the entire bill must be paid whether we went then or the nest morning. No compromise could be ef- fected with the stubborn landlord, and so Turner proceeded to get the worth of his money as follows: Ile ordered dinner at 12 o ' 'Clock, which was duly prepared and eaten. The table was cleared and reset for supper at half past 12. At 1 o'clock we all went to bed, every man carrying' a lighted candle to his room. There were thirty-six of us, and we all un- dressed and tumbled into bed as if we were going to stay all night. In half an hour we rose and went down to the I hot breakfast that Turner had demand- ed and that we found smoking on the table. Turner was very grave, the landlord was exceedingly angry, and the rest of us were convulsed with laughter at the absurdity of the whole proceeding. We disposed of our breakfast as if we had eaten nothing for ten hours and then started for Richmond satisfied that we had .fairly settled t\ lth the unreason- able landlord. Content.

This was the more awkward because the young lady had picked the young man out. Also he had wealth. And the mother, who was widowed, had not the wherewithal to furnish her daugh- ter with the variety of frocks and things which her youthful heart crav- ed. \I .might not object to the man so much,\ said the mother one evening. \if you would only let me see him.
