FAMILY BURNED TO DEATH.
How Frank Knox, His Wife and Children
STANDARDIZATION of a Terrible Crime

DETROIT, Dec. 16-At an early hour this
morning the village of Woodwork, suburb of
this city, was the scene of horrible fire. Some
men returning home at halfpast 2, discovered
the small frame house of Frank Knox fire.
Help was summoned, but before it arrived. the
house was totally consumed After daylight
this morning search was begun for the bodies of
the family, who were thought to have been In
in the building at the time of the fire. Knox
was found on the floor in the front room. with
his wife in his arms, both bodies being burned to

BILE mass, supposed to be the remains of the old
est child, boy three years old OF the baby
nine months old, there was no trace, and it is
supposed the body was entirely consumed. From
the positions of the bodies, it is thought Mrs.
Knox, who was an invalid, had overturned
lamp and was overcome by the flames before
help could reach them. The family were: Frank
Knox, aged twenty eight Susan Whitman Knox.
aged twenty-two George Knox aged three;
Frank Albert Knox aged nine months.
LATER-Frank Knox was known to have
money in the house, which he had been saving
to make some payments The searchers in the
ruins found a revolver, and it is known that
Knox never owned one. These two facts lead to
the supposition that murder was committed for
the sake of robbery, and the building then fred
to cover up the crime. The position in which

definitely known, everything about the house
having been completely consumed. The body Of
the boy has not been found, and it is thought

about to destroy the whole family and her hus-
band, fearing that she was about to attempt his
life, proceeded to put her out of the room, but
on opening the door discovered the house in
flames. Reaching the front door, with one of
his children, he found it locked and the key re-
moved. He then rar to the back door, and
found it nailed up. Finally he and his little
daughter escaped through a window, but both

"Give me soda water cocktail with
the North pole in it"
A crowd outside, thinking free drinks
were to be set up, crowded into the sa-
loon ard watched and waited. The man
of rags. who had ordered the North
pole in his drink, ate up all the lunch
he could find, chewed up the coffee and
cloves, and was tackling the mint, when
the bartender quietly asked:
"What did you say you want In your
drink, Mr.. Gould ?"
Mr.. Gould steadied himself moment,
grinned on the crowd and at himself in
the looking. glass, and replied:
eff you please, Sir. I'll have the
North pole III it.
The bartender remembered an old
piece of gas tubing, about three feet in
length, had been left around; he got it
and blew some cayenne pepper down the
inside, put one end of it Ia the cocktail,
and smllingly handed it to Mr.. Gould.
Mr.. Gould took it, gave first prelimina-
ry pull, and then hurricane arose. 1t

being sued, he will sadly remember the

Throwing the Hatchet.

In the fourteenth century the situation
of public executioner to the city of Flor
ence became vacant, and, as it was q
place of considerable emolument there
were three candidates. A day was
appointed for public display of their
several abilities. The first candi-
date, with knife, cleverly separ-
ated the head of the victim from
his shoulders. He was outdone by the
rapid stroke O. the second, whose gilt
hearts Of the surrounding multitude.
The third and least promising held in
his hand a short Ratchet, and, when the
victim was extended with his head on
the fatal block, approached him, and in
. low whisper inquired If he was swift
runner and if he could swim well. On
being answered in the affirmative, he
desired him to spring on his feet and
sross the river. The executioner then
put on fierce hook, swung his weapon
roundhis head, hut, instead of making
it descend on the devoted creatures
neck, struck it with great force into the
block Shouts of execration rose from
the crowd, and the trembling wretch, as
tonished Mt his wonderful escape, had
nearly gained the opposite bank Of the
river before any steps were taken to pur-
sue him. He had scarcely, however,
gone ten yards on dry land when the
eKecutioner, taking steady aim, threw
his Ratchet with such effect that the
body continued running some time after
the head was off From this rather i'm

SOWING CLOVER SEED.

Experience and science are agreed in
regard to the advantages of growing as
much clover as possible on all farms where
wheat, barley. oats. and other cereals are
the main object of the agriculturist, AS
long as land will grow good crops of cloy
er, we need not fear exhaustion OF the
SOIL But clover often fails, and the evil
is increasing. In many cases this is Cue
to the difficulty OF getting a good
catch" The seed fails to g"rminate.
Occasionally this is attributed to poor
seed. 1t is much more likely, however,
that the trouble is in the soil. The long,
or our soils are cultivated, and especially
when little manure is used, or green crops
plowed under, the poorer the soil be-
comes IN organic matter. We see no
special dimlnution in the yield of grain
crops. This is because we cultivate bet
ter-but at the same time there can be no
doubt that the mechanical condition of
the soil is less favorable for the germin-
alton of small seed, like clover. The soil
is hard and the surface less mellow and
loose than when it was full of decaying
leaves and other organic matter.
When We SOW clover and grass seed on
spring crops where the land has been re-
Gently plowed or cultivated and narrowed.
the soil is, or may be, sufficiently fine
moist and mellow to insure the germina,
toh OF the seed. But when the seed is
sown in the spring. on winter wheat or
winter rye. the soil is often as hard and
dry on the surface as q barn floor In
such case harrowiog before or after SOW
ing the seed is decidedly advantageous.
We might harrow before sowing the seed

Couldn't Trust 1t a Second Time.

He attended meeting where An at
tempt was being made to lift the debt OF
the church. After great deal Of earn.
est exhortation to give he began to get
mildly excited over the matter, and
when the minister declared that every
one who gave would find that the Lord
would pay him back hundred fold he
concluded to close with the bargain, and
at once subscribed handsome sum.
"And," said he some weeks afterward,
"the scripture promise is financially a
good one, for since gave that money
to the church man came into my office
and paid large debt which I had long

Sour Bread.

The venerable DIR. Woolsey, Of Yale,
who is much interested in securing .
general law of divorce throughout the
United States, is asked by IN interview
er il he does not think that sour bread
has much to do with di, Orce. Whereat
the doctor wonderingly asks, "Sour
bread? What is that"
Let us answer.
Sour bread, doctor, is death. Sour
bread is sin. Sour bread is original sin.
Sour bread is dyspepsia. Sour bread
poisons first the body and then the
mind. Sour bread is impurity taken
into the stomach and from thence dis
titled into the brain. Sour bread is not
the bread for inspiration or wisdom.
Sour bread eaten to give nutriment and
strength, and giving none, causes de-
sire for the artificial stimulants, tobacco
and whisky. Pure food, doctor, helps
largely to make pure men and women.
Wives who poison their husbands daily,
doctor, with dishes fried in rancid lard
or butter, or who mix animal grease in
Q state of semi-decomposition with their
hot biscuit, or who top off this involun-
tary system Of Lucretia Borgiaism with
sour bread, are the chief promoters Of
domestic rows, troubles, wrangles and
finally divorce. Sour bread clouds the
mind, darkens the understanding, mar
rows the intellect and weakens the
body. Good bread and pure food worked
up finally into brain or matter or what
ever you choose to call it, gives clear
heads, clear ideas, truth, and promotes
and leads to gentleness, mercy, charity
and peace. Tho kitchen, doctor, is the
neglected cornerstone Of your theology.
The cook is now one of tho despised
saviors Of humanity. Despise not the
day Of small things, doctor. Spirituality
and divinity can't be developed out of .
diet Of chips, and husbands don't get
much better. Husbands, OF course,
doctor, are bad. All husbands are
worse, much worse than their wives.
But, as a commencement to make them
better, they must have wives who will
zee that they have good bread. Yes,
doctor. Put that in your pipe and
smoke it. But perhaps you don't smoke.
