THE VICE OF CRUELTY INERADICA.
BILE

Tales OF horrible crimes come from the east,
and lead one to enquire whence springs the
appetite for cruelty which seems inherent in
not only all the Semitic races, but in all man
kind. Some philosopher, Rochefoucault, the
writer thinks, says cruelty is of two distinct
kinds: one due to the dulness of imagination
which is feature of low type of personal or
social development, and is gradually remedied
by the progress of civilization, the other to
vindictiveness, peculiarly feminine attribute
common to passionate natures. and in OPP
pressed and slavsh communities. This may
be true, but both kinds are often combined in
one person. Certain it is that vindictve
, disposition may be tender, while brutality and
, tenderness are incompatible. In the turbaned
sons of Islam, whose cruel deeds shock Christ
, endom, there is an.element of vindictiveness
scarcely comprehensive to the inhabitants of
the West. 1t is true psychologists show US
that ordinary forms of cruelty diminish before
the growth of retrospection and sympathy
which mark the advancement of man, but they
cannot prove that the of vice cruelty itself is
ever thereby eradicated. Theologians may
give US many explanations of Its presence as
, an attribute. but they cannot disprove that it
has an existence as a constituent element of
human nature, and often shows itself in indi-
viduals and societies in which one would
scarcely expect it could be found.

then see how that succeeded before going fur

socate yet, as he considered people who could
not afford to send their children for the ten

BAD BEER.
It Gets Away With Two Country
Boys, Causing Them to Make
Bad Break.

Beer Is beer, no matter where imbibed,
and too much of ii will cause fellow To
cut some queer antics, and Is liable TO get
him into trouble. Its seductive qualities
and insiduous powers are not rs well under
stood by the young men OF the rural dis
tricts as they are by their brothers who
dwell i'm cities where il flows in plenty and
is of easy access, provided the cash is put
up Tor il.
Ii came To BAZoo scrambler's auricles
yesterday that two country boys by the
name of John and Lewis Keel, had placed
themselves in rather an unpleasant posi-
ton by an over-indulgence in the foaming
beverage.
On Friday afternoon they went TO lonia
i'm buggy, and there laid in supply OF
beer. Internally, and i'm bottles
which they placed under the buggy seat
They fingered i'm that little burg until YES
terday morning, when they started for this
city.
Their route lay through the Robinson
neighborhood, some six miles southwest
of the city. i'm which lives a man by the
name of William Reid. When his house
was reached the keels stopped. and
finding no one at home, broke one of
of the windows open and entered
the house, from which they took lot OF
chewing and smoking tobacco. They then
left and resumed their journey to this
city.
Shortly after their departure, Mr.. Reid
returned home and discovered the evil
dences of the burglary. He was told by
young man named Brown, who had seen
the Keel boys drive up to the house, about
their visit, and il o Cured to Reid that
they were the guilty parties. He fol-
lowed them here and found their
team hitched in the rear of the market
house. He waited until the young men
returned TO ii, and then accused them of
the deed. This they did not DENY, but
boldly said they saw the tobacco, and a.
they wanted some, broke into the house TO
get it.
Mr.. Reid did not have them arrested.
though he has the matter under advise
ment The keels had been drinking beer
quite freely, and it may be that il they
had been sober, they would net have
turned burglars.

men attended church at popular place
of worship i'm this city. Before leaving
their room, for they stopped together, they
agreed that each should put in twenty-five
cents i'm the contribution box. They all
agreed tn mark each quarter, in silver, i'm
such a way so that If they ever come across
the money again they would recognize the
same.
The money wa> all marked in the same
way and i'm such manner a. tn make its
identity beyond question. The quartetie,
with fine clothes on their backs, hears oil
ON their hair and the silver jingling in their
pockets, sailed forth and attended church.
The programme OF putting the marked
money i'm the hat was religiously carried
"ui, and that was the last thought of the
matter until Monday morning. when one

Female TrampS.

Yesterday morning two of the yilest and
dirtiest specimens of degraded white WON
Ell reached this city, and at once made
themselves obnoxious by their forbidding
appearance and brazen manners. They
made no hesitancy in pushing their half
naked forms into stores, begging for pit
lance from every one they came across.
They said they were from indianapolis,
and wanted to go to DenisOn, Texas.
Finally they got hold of Mayor Mes>er-
ly, told to him their tale, and asked for
assistance 10 reach their destination.
Thinking the city would he well rid OF
such creatures, the mayor bought them
tickets to certain town south of this city,
and i'm the afternoon shipped them off, 81
lently circulating prayer that they would
never return. Before they LEFT, Mrs. Lamm,
of the Woman's Home, took them i'm, dried
their tattered garments, and fixed them up
a lunch. They both had babies, one of
them clearly indicating that negro was
lis father. They are sorry set.
