Bless His Heart.

In a very elegant palace car entered
weary-faced, poorly dressed woman
with three little children, one 8 babe in
her arms. 4 look of Joy crept into her
face as she settled down into one of the
luxuireus chairs, but was quickly dis
PEELED as she was rudely asked TO "start
her boots"
A smile of amusement was seen on
several faces as the frightened group
hurried out to enter one of the COM
mon cars. Upon one young face how
ever, there was look which shamed
| the countenances of the others.
"Auntie" said the boy, to q lady de-
side him. 81 am going to carry my
basket and this box Of sandwiches to
the poor woman in the next car. You
are willing of course?'
He spoke eagerly, but she answered
Don't be foolish dear. you may need
them yourself and perhaps the woman
Is an iMpostor."
No. III not need them," he answered
decidedly, but in a very low tone.
you know I had a hearty breakfast
and don't need lunch. The woman
looked hungry, auntie, and so tired too
with those three little babies clipging
to her. III be back in 3 minute, auntie
l know mother wouldn't like it if /
didn't speak kind word to the least of
these when l meet tkem."
The worldly aunt brushed tear from
her eye after the boy left her. and said
audibly, "Just like his dear mother"
About five minutes later, as the
lady passed the mother and three chill
dren she saw a pretty sight-the fami-
ly feasting as perhaps they had never
done before. The dainty sandwiches
were eagerly eaten, the fruit basket
stood open.
The eldest child, with her mouth fill
ed with bread and butter, said. "was
the pretty boy an angel, mama?"
"No" answered the mother, and a
grateful look frightened her faded
eyes, "but ne is doing angels work. bless
his dear heart" And We too, said
''Bless his dear heart"

A Recluse in a Cave.

John s. Wright, man of about fifty
years of age, fairly educated and oil
appal emily good intelligence, is living
in a cave near the town. 1t is said thai
the cause of his self sought isolation,
following a trip to California and back
grew out of a rejected love suit, which
developed in him general distrust oil
human nature. His trip from Califor.
mia here was made on foot. While en-
route he tarried for some time in the
land of the mormon's. Soon after his
appearance here he settled down for q
lonely existence. Under no circum-
stances will he remain other han on hi
premises, and this consists of deep ex.
cavation, and he spends his life in this
hole in the ground. He has a second
excavation directly under his bed,
which he uses as a storage bin for veg
etables. He Graves 10 society, and
very seldom comes in contact with his
neighbors of his own volition, although
many of the residents call upon him
They are received with comparative
silence, his communications being few
and he evidently regards all mem ers
of the human race with suspicion.
Wright is quiet and peaceabie except
when crossed. He is a democrat and
manages to keep posted on the political
aspects of the day. His favorite paper
is an agricultural weekly, for which he
comes TO town every Saturday, with
marked punctuality.

An Incredible Crime.

An astonishing trial has just ended in
st. Petersburg-tne trial of a boy OF
for the murder of his father-Ind It's
most astonishing features was the boy:
testimony. He confessed his guilt, but
maintained an appearance of complete
indifference during the proceedings
and when asked what motives had In
duced him to commit the crime, he
simply said:
"My father prevented me from con-
tinuing my studies and making for my
self brilliant career. He aIso would
not allow me to resd novels, and that
is the reason | resolved to get rid oil
such a rough, uncullured father"
How was the crime commltteoI
asked the President.
Zone night when my mother was out
of town, / crept out eff bed and went to
the kitchen for a hatcuet. On my way
there said to myself: MY Godi WHAT
am about to do? But then / thought
Is there a god? Who can prove III So
l took the Ratchet and went into my
fathers room. He did not move, but
/ opened the window to make sure he
was asleep, and then struck him q
blow upon the head With ihe hatchet.
He sprang up and cried thelpl' but fell
back Immediately upon the ground.
Then took the Ratchet back 10 the
Kitchen, dressed myself and went out.
In the morning when ] came back they
told 1e that my father was dead l

Arrested on their Bridal Tour.

Richmond, (Va.l special /: Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Lynch, young married
couple, were arrested last night at
Bowling Green, in this State. They
were abort to board the northern train,
when an officer took them in custody
upon 8 charge of stealing $1,000 from
an uncle of the bride. The pair stoutly
denied the charge, and in reply 10 a
question of the officer, denied that
they had any money upon their per
sons. A search of the blushing young
bride revealed $125 in greenbacks
neatly coiled up in her back hair.
Lynch and wife were married few
days ago. Shortly after the ceremony
the uncle of the wife, who is only
eighteen, missed 81 200, which Lynch
is charged with stealing. Mrs. Lynch
is represented to be exceedingly pretty.
Her husband says she put the money
found by the officers in her back hair
TO prevent its being lost on their bridal
trip. The wedding of the young peo-
pie was attended by the best people in
the county. An old slipper worn by
the bride in her maiden days was
thrown after her when she left the
parental mansion as token of good
luck, and the arrest upon such a seri-
Gus charge, SO soon after the wedding,
has caused the superstitious to doubt
the truth OF slipper omens.

forenoon Detectives Brown and Allen
arrested Freeman at Marshfiel Id, Wis,
where he was working in 3 saw mill.
At first ne pleaded entire ignorance
and pretended never to have been at

Vandecar and Welsch. Later he adj
mitted having been to Waupaca few
times, and said that ne knew Vande-
car and Welsch. He still persisted in
saying that he knew nothing of the
Mead murder. The detectives know
this to be al CANNON, and are conf

Mead's Murderers in Limbo.

Slowly, but surely, the lines have
been gathering about the murderers of
81. c. Mead, the Waupaca, Wis, bank
er, until now, the net has been pulled
in and secured, the result being the
confinement behind the bars OF Alfred
VAndecar, "Whisky" Welsch aud Char
ley Freeman. 1t is not thought that
Welsch was here or took an active part
in the job; but that he is acquainted
with the particulars and can tale un-
fold that would throw light upon one
of the darkest deeds ever perpetrated
in Wisconsin, is not doubted. The
three men are all what might be called
hard citizens and are well known in
Stevens Point and Wausau. Vandecar
is the leading man, and be it il who
planned the robbery, with the assist
ance of Freeman. visited Welsch in
his cell. He is twenty-three years old;
his face is smooth, with the exception
of small, downy moustache; he is
about five and a half feet tall, and
thick set. He is often called Stub
Welsch by the boys. At the time of
the murder, Oct. z, he was tending bar
in a saloon at Stevens Point, and was
quite intimate with. Vandecar and
Freeman. The trio had put up a few
worked we'll together, Vandecar con-
ceived the idea of bagging bigger game.
Freeman used to be engineer on a
Wisconsin Central gravel train, and
was somewhat familiar with Waupaca.
One night when he and Vandecar were
planning some way to make another
raise, freeman mentioned the fact
of there being q rich old banker down
at Waupaca, who had thousands of
dollars in his safe, and that If they had
that money they could fly high. 1t
was agreed that two should come down
to Waupaca and take the lay of the
land. This they did several days be-
fore the murder. They found out that
the banker slept in his bank, and that
there was q window In the rear of the
building through which they could
gain an entrance. They
DECIDED UPON SATURDAY NIGHT
for the deed. In tie afternoon of that
day Vandecar called .Welsch aside and
asked him what he was going to do the
coming winter. Welsch replied that
ne was going 70 WOrK In the WoOos-
Vandecar told him that he and Free
man had cooked up little job, and if
Welsch wanted to go with them he
could make more money IN two hours
than he could by working In the woods
three winters. Welsch for some reason
or other concluded not to 60, and Van
decar and Freeman took the train
south from Stevens Point on that fatal
Saturday night. Nothing further could
be got from Welsch on the subject. He
