days old, and when the next four as
sert themselves its age will be about
twenty-eight days. The corner teetl

is eight months and these latter attain
the height of the front teeth at the end
of year. The two-year old has the
kernal-the dark substance IN the
middle of the tooth's crown-ground
out of all the front teeth. In the third
year the middle front teeth arr being
shifted. and when three wears old
4ese are substituted by the permanent
or horse teeth. which are larger and
more yellow than their predecessors
The next four teeth are shifted in the
fourth wear and the corner teeth in the
fifth, giving places to the permanent
nippers.

Frank James, The Missouri Outlaw.

A st. Louis Post Dispatch representa-
tive has interviewed Frank James, the
notorious outlaw, now living quietly on
his father-in laws farm near Independ.
ence, Mo. The writer has this to say OF
James:
He said he spends his days in currying
one at the farm and when he has nothing
else to do reads the newspapers, and pays
an occasional visit to town. He is in
very poor health, and there seems from
his appearance some foundation for the
photographer statement that he is dying
with consumption. 1t is not easy to be-
lieve that his hands for twenty years
kept close companionship with deadly
revolvers, and that the swift movements
of their forefngers have cost probably
hundred l!lon th-;~ l:-.----. IA - not easy
to think that this fading head, with It's
thin silken crop of hair is the one for
which the State three years ago kept
open q standing offer of $50, 900; nor
that this frame, now so shrunk that the
clothes almost flap against the
limbs, has seen the bitterest
hardships and faced the fercest
dangers. If it were not for the
unmistakably chad eye" and the unusual
development of the lower facial features,
one might easily mistake Frank James
for preacher suffering from heavy
dose of malaria; but the cold glitter of
the desperado's eyes is still there, the
slow, measured speech and the defiant,
set expression of the countenance which
belongs to men accustomed to value
others lives as lightly as they value their
own. He looks no longer like the
"wraith of slaughter" thas he has been
described. He says he is only forty two,
but his appearance makes him as old as
sixty. He is a sick and dying man, and
he needs just such rest as he finds under
the cedar trees around the Ralston dwell
ing, with the comforting hand of his
faithful, loving young wife, who was
often with him in the saddle, to soothe
his closing hours, and the bright face
and glowing eye of his little seven-year-
old boy to cheer and Tighten the dark
moments that are gathering over him.
Later heard that Charles Ford, who,
with his brother Bob. killed Jesse James
in st. Joe in 1882, is dying at his par.
ents' home in Ray county. His ailment,
too, is consumption.

She had given her first love, true and
warm, to Harry. But the daisies had
blossomed twice over Harry's grave and
the gentle heart was touched by other
influences. June roses were blooming
and Harry had been dead two years when
one evening Essie sat at her piano, with
her fingers calling forth u melody full of
sweetness. 1t was neither glad nor sad,
and not so loud but that John Trow.

Only the little hand nestled closer in
his own for answer. But after a little

long.
"Little one, I loved you before Harry
won you, but l starved my heart for
yours. Do you know what l have
worn there, Essie, for many long

And while he loosed the ribbon and
put the diamond cross into her hand, she

the right and left of the highway, where
our commissary stores had been packed
on the previous night. In little while
Lee rode up to the rear, accompanied
only by Colonel Marshall, his aide. II
was with the greatest difficulty that the
men were kept from rushing out and
surrounding the general, so much was
he loved. We crept forward to the
edge of the road and saw Lee returning,
His face was very sad. When he was
opposite to us the soldiers could nc
longer restrain themselves and they
rushed out in wild mob around his old
iron-gray horse, shouting: ''Lee! Lee !
Lee!" All discipline was thrown to the
wind, and the men seemed to feel az
if the end was near, for never saw such
loyal yet disorderly rush. Lee was
calm and seemed to be profoundly
moved. When he dismountcd he made
motion for silence and a ring
was formed around him. Then he
stretched out his hand to us and said:
"Gentlemcn / have done the best
could for you. To-day have surren
dered the army of Northern Virginia
Bows, go home. God bless you"
II saw strong men throw themselves
upon the ground at his feet and WEEP
like women. The shouts and cries OF
my comrades were heart stirring. Lee
looked upon the scene for moment
sighed and turned away. 1t was 81
