For a real all-day pleasure to "trou-
blesome"-that is, active-children
there is nothing better than a tin
washbasin or pan of sea sand. City
children cannot make mud pies-that
is a joy reserved for the clean dirt of
the country. The story that is told
of the child who was ordered by the
doctors to be allowed to play in the
dirt, shows the views of some mothers.
1t was put in a high chair at the cen
ter-table, an elegant damask bib tied
round its neck, and a soup plate of
earth with a silver tablespoon given
to it. to play in the dirt With Even
in this way it perhaps relished it.
But all children dearly love the sand.
Witness the little buckets and spades
that are busy all day long at the sea-
shore. But if the little American
Mahomets cannot go to the seashore
for sand, it can at least be brought to
them. A few cents will buy a wash
basin full of securing sand-not mar
BILE sand-and almost anybody going to
the seashore can bring home a salt bag
full for little neighbors or friends at
home. With these and a few
elam-sheiis. the child is equipped
for a days pleasure. They Jan be
made to keep their sand pies, houses
aud what not on a broad bit Of board,
or in one corner of the yard or the
room. And even if they should strew
a little of it about the place." that
is better than a days iretting for
something to do, or being brought il

them out of mischief, but to mak3

day long. The old rhyme used to
represent Satan" as finding plenty
of business for such little folks, but
the mothers, certainly, might set up a
rival in that business "for idle hands
to do"

Special Correspondence to the Phila, Times
OMAHA, Neb., August 2.
The story of the crimes of the Ben
der family is upon everybody's lips.
The greatest crime of the century is
likely, in a small measure at least, to
be atoned for. But the most horrible
death that old John Bender could be
put to would but in a slight degree
avenge the sufferings of his many VIC
Tins. In the jail at Fremont, in Dodge
county, a man is locked up who is
supposed to be the fend that the au-
thorities Of Kansas have been looking
for for seven years. There hardly
seems a doubt of his identity. With
him Is a woman-repulsive hard fist
ed and old. She may be the original
Mrs. Bender or she may be his mis-
tress. Opinions differ on this point.
When they reach Kansas the authori.
ties will have hard work to guard the
couple from the attacks Of the popu-
lace, who are thirsting for their blood.
In 1873 old Bender and his wife and
their son John and his wife lived near
Cherryvale, Labette county, Kansas.
There house was about two miles out
OF town, 1t was a rude frame struc-
ture, standing in a lot of two acres.
The old woman called herself a medi.
um. She had a way of boiling roots
and herbs that were supposed to have
charms and spells about them and she
dealt In incantations. She was repul-
slve IN aspect-tall, angular and
scrawny, with hard, steel gray ewes
and thin, ragged gray hair struggling
over her temples. The family seem
to have been totally under the infu-
ence Of this ungainly creature. Her
word wa with them as law. The
Blenders Ostensibly kept a grocery. A
sign was displayed in front Of their
rude dwelling to attract visitors. but
the stock in trade consisted PRINCIPAL.
ly Of OF a sort Of cheap wine. There
were only two rooms in the house.
One was a dining room and Kitchen
combined. In the other the four
Blenders slept.
MANY SUDDEN DISCREPANCIES.
In 1873 a number of persons travel
ing in the direction of Cherryvale
mysteriously disappeared. No traces
OF them could be found. The iirst
disappearance that attracted public
attention was that Of an old man and
