SOME EXCITING INCIDENTS NEVER
BEFORE PRINTED CONNECTED
WITH THEIR FLIGHT FROM
NORTHFIELD HOW PRETTY
ANNIE RAI.sToN BECAME THE
WIFE OF ONE OF TBE NOTORI-
GUS OUTLAWS - THE BANDIT
BROTHERS.
A publishing house in ST. Louis
is about to issue four hundred
page volume, entitled "The Life
and Adventures of Frank and
Jesse James, from which the fol-
lowing extracts are taken by the
Farmers Union. of Minneapolis:
The escape of Frank and Jesse
after the raid on the bank at
Northfield, MIMI, when Coleman
and James and Robert Younger
were captured, and Pitts, Chad
well and Miller were killed, fills a
chapter of thrilling interest in the
adventure of the boys. The story
has never before been told. Three
days after they had separated from
their comrades, they came to a
wilderness region, where the tim
Der was heavy aud the underbru III
thick. Here they proposed to rest
for a season, but they were track
ed to their hiding-pla and fred
upon by band of pursuers. Frank
James received wound in the
hip. The brush was so thick that
the pursuers, who were on horse
back. could make no Roadway,
and three of them dismounted to
tcontinue the chase on foot. The
direction taken by the hunted men
led to a swamp, but the season
being dry there was but little mud
] in the basin. The bushes were
close together, and aquatic plants
were high. The three men seemed
resolved to close up with them.
NSeveral times the hunted bandits
could have killed the citizens but
for the fact tina: their ammunition
was giving out, and they desired
! to take care of what remained for
the last emergency. 1t was get
|Ating late; the sun was low in the
/ west, aud the shadows were deep
J ening in the forest. The three
i pursuers were determinedly fol.
lowing them. Once or twice the
hunted men were tempted to turn
and try the issue with their foes.
But they kept on. Just as day
light faded away they emerged
Nrom the swamp and found them

An Injurious Practice.

The practice Of eating snow and
ice. so common among the school,
children of the Northern States,
is fruitful cause OF catarrh. 1t Is
common to see the boys and girls
dev0ur SNOWFALL as though 1t
were an apple, or an icicle as
eagerly as bit of candy. The
hard palate whica forms the roof
of the mouth also forms the floor
of the nostrils. and Is no thicker
than paste-board. The chilling
effect OF snow and ice brought
freely In contact with this thin
partition, the upper covering of
which Ii a sensitive secreling
membrane, made up almost who'll
~ of fine blood vessels and nerves,
produces congestion, often sue
seeded by chronic inflammation. AS
consequence, these snow and Ice
eating boys and girls almost al
ways have "colds in the head"
and running noses. This Is the
foundation and origin Of one of
the most disagreeable, persistent
affections TO which the people of
the North are subject, nasal ca
tarrh. Catarrh is said to lead to
consumption. Whether this is so
or not, the chilling Of the nasal
membranes, part of whose func-
tion 1t Is to warn the air in It's
passage to the lungs, can not but
injure those organs, particularly
in people of a delicate constitu-
ton. Rural, N. Y.

The following extract relates how
the fair girl became

THE OUTLAWS BRIDE:
But there came a time when a
shadow fell athwart her pathway,
and eclipsed this star in the social
armament. Armies father had
been ardent in his attachment TO
the Southern cause. and all who
had contended in behalf of that
cause were ever welcome to the
hospitality of his home. He had
suffered much from the coase-
quences of the war, aud perhaps
more from the genial conviviali-
ties in which he INDUCED, and
which had extended beyond the
bound of propriety. Frank and
Jesse James, with their confeder-
ates, became frequent visitors at
the Ralston home. People saw
them there often, and ii was whis-
pered softly at first, but shouted
aloud later, that pretty Annie
Ralston was an attraction for the
outlaws and received from them,
without rebuke, their openly ex-
pressed admiration; and then her
social star paled, and finally went
out. Frank James became TO her
a hero worthy of her love-nay,
her hearts deep alteration. She
waited with impotence his COM
ing, and when he was away, and
she thought Of the hazards he
might make, and the destruction
which might overtake him. she
grew faint through apprehension.
To her, he was assiduous and gen.
tie and kind, whatever might be
his disposition toward others, and
she gave her heart to him long
before an opportunity was pre-
sented to her to yield TO him her
hand.
One bright day in 1875. some
friends, who had known pretty
Annie Ralston from the days OF
her childhood. met her at the
Union depot, Kansas City, with
many valises and traveling-ba gs
in charge. "Would she go up 10
town /? Could they render her any
service ?n were questions which
were asked. No, at another time
she would 60 up town, there was
nothing they could do for her
Soon she was joined by
HER oUTLAwED LOVER.
Together they took train and
proceeded to Leavenworth, Kan.
where the vows which they had
made to each other were renewed
and sealed by legal authority. and
fair Annie Ralston became she
outlaws bride, and with him the
iourneyed toward the yellow
southern sea, where the sunlight
is warm and the breezes balmy.
1t was sacrifice to thus Danish
herself from that society in which
she was so we'll fitted to shine as
one of its brightest ornaments; 1t
was trial to surrender up the
friends and associates of her girl
hood to bid adieu to those who
were near and dear to her; it was
heroic to cast herself upon the
care Ofthe man she loved. On the
altar of her affection, therefore, she
placed all the idols of her youth,
and in her devotion she proceeded
to dig a wide, deep grave, in which
to bury forever the images which
she had cherished. And so Annie
Ralston became an outlaws wife.
Both the outlaws are married,
and both were successful in win
ming handsome and accomplished
young ladies for brides. Each has
a pleasant home in Texas, and
Frank, especially, Is a ian ofcon-
siderable wealth, and carries
heavy bank account in st. Louis
under another name.

GIVE NE THREE GRAINS OF
CORN, MOTHER.


This powerful and pathetic piece
was suggested by many of the
painful incidents of the memOra-
BILE Irish famine of 1913. The title
was the last request of an Irish lad
to his mother, as he was dying of
starvation. She found three grains
Of corn in corner of his ragged
jacket, and gave them TO him. 1t
was all she had. The whole fam
lily were perishing from famine: =

Only three grains of corn;
1t will keep the little life have

Dying of hunger and cold
And halftLe agony of such death

All the live-long day, and the night beside,
Gnawing for lack of food.

And the sight was heaven TO see,-
] awoke with an eager, furnishing lip,
But you had no bread 70 me.
How could look to you, mother?
How could look to you
For bread to give your starving boy,
When you were starving, too?
For read the famine in your cheek,
And in your eye so wild,
And felt it on your bony hand,
AS you laid 1t on your child.

While you are forced to your empty b. east

And famine upon its brow. A

What has poor Ireland done,
That the world looks on, and sees US

Whether they live or die !?
There is many brave heart here, mother,

While only across the channel, mother,
Are many that roll in gold;
There are rich and proud men there.

With wondrous wealth in view,
And the bread they fling TO their dogs to-

Come nearer to my side, mother,

Mother dear mother ! ere die,
Give me three grains of corn.
