THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LARELAND, FLA., TheCrosson the Moon By JOH N:L-\",\RNACK The governor sat in the library of his be u! new home, his head bowed in deep thought, while through his great heart surged conflicting emo- tions like warring waves in time of storm. He had just been visited by the mother of Jim Turner, the man who at 6 o'clock that evening was to be hanged for the murder of his father. The povernor had remained apparently caln during the interview, but the woman’s visit had shaken his nerves, had made him question the Justice of the ln\ and caused him to doubt his own’judgment. “Governor,” the woman had said, “if Jim Turner dies tonight, the soul of an funocent man will whisper into the ear of God the story of & legalized murder. My son was accused of tak- ing the life of his gentle father, my husband. IHe has been tried before the courts of this state, and has been pronounced gullty by a jury of twelve ignorant mountaineers; but the evi- dence produced ugainst him s almost entirely circumstantial, and before God I swear that my toble boy is innocent. I would gladly give my own iife to be able to absolutely prove Ms innocence and to take the unearned stain from the name ot Turner in this state.” He was called the pardoning BOv- ernor, and his political enemies had made the most of the tact that already during his brfef tenure of office he had robhed the gallows of four men who, under the law, bag been condemned to death.

It I8 always the plaint of every gen- eration of diners that after-dinner speaking is on the decline. In this day and generation, however, the eter- nal feminine hag come to the rescue. At recent dinners, where both men and women have spoken, it has been common comment that of the two the women were the better gpeakers. One clever man, after a dinner in New York, where the women carrled off all the postprandial honorg, cx- plalned it thus: “The women are not such egotists Every man felt him- self the star of the evenlng.
