FRANK JAMES ACQUITTED.
In Noted Bandit Again a Free n
Greeted with Cheers.

A Gallatin Mo.) dispatch says: The case of
Frank James, on trial at this place for killing
Frank Mcmillan and participating in the Win
ston train robbery, ended to-day in a verdict of
acquittal. Mr.. Wallace, for the prosecution,
closed a four-hours' speech at 1920, and the
case was given to the jury. AT 4 o'clock the
jury came INTO court with a verdict of not
guilty. AT the announcement of the verdict
there was a momentary silence. as if the vast
throng had been struck dumb with surprise,
for those who expected such a verdict were
very few, the most that was hoped for by the
defense being a hung jury. The silence
was only for a moment. Then the air was
to lift the roof off the opera-house, in which
the court was held. The prisoner himself
seemed the least affected, receiving the an
nouncement coolly and almost indifferently.
In a moment his counse grasped him by
the hand, and his friends began to gather
about him. Soon the crowd separated
and fell back to allow the prisoners
wife and boy. an opportunity to
greet him. The Northumberland
crowd, a majority of whom probably thought
in their hearts that the man was guilty and
expected to see him punished, took up the
shout IN the street, and it seemed for an hour
after the adjournment that everybody in
Gallatin was yelling. James asserted in CON
versation after the verdict had been rendered
that he desired hereafter TO lead an honest
life. There were other indictments against
him for murder and robbery, but he will
probably never be convicted on any of them.

Only a Wee Sick Lad.

In a pottery factory here there is a
workman who had mi small invalid
child at home. He wrought at his
trade with exemplary fidelity, being
always in the shop with the opening
Of the day. He managed, how -ver, to
bear each evening to the bedside OF
his "wee lad" as he called him. a
flower, a bit of ribbon, or a fragment
of crimson glass, indeed anything that
would lie out on the white counter
pane and give a color to the room. He
was a quiet, unsentimental man. but
never went home at night without
something that would make the wan
face light up with joy at his return,
He never said to a living soul that he
loved that boy s. much. Still he went
on patiently loving him. And by and
bye he moved that whole shop into
positively real but unconscious fellow
ship with him. The workmen made
curious little jars and cups upon their
wheels, and painted diminutlye pic
lures down their sides before they
stuck them in the corners of
the kiln at burning time,

about it; and believe it or not, cynics,
as you will, but it is a fact, that the
whole pottery full of men, of rather
coarse fiber by nature, grew quiet
as the months driftel, becoming gentle
and kind, and some dropped swearing
as the weary look on the patient fell
low-worker's face told them beyond
mistake that the inevitable shadow
was drawing carer Every day now
some one did apiece of work for him,

He turned his ruddy face away
From home. and friends, and all he loved;
And in his suit OF fustian gray
To fair America he r0ved.
He knew the way was long and drear,
The ship low rocking on the waves;
But brushing of the falling tear,
Fair fortunes smiles alone he Graves.
Some day, he thinks, ne will return,
Aud standing on the ships broad deck,
He feels the heart within him burn,
As less and less, at last speck
OF his own loved and native land
Recedes and mingles with the mist
OF distance, where the spray-dashed sand
And Heavens tender blue have kissed.
He loved his childhood's low matched roof,
Its bare brown n tiers and its walls
Were TO his fancies warp and wool,
A. dear As those OF lordly halls.
