A 3 enk2tfOn.

PHILADELPHIA, June IA decided
sensation was created in the office when
Mrs. Sarah Jane Whiteling voluntarily
confessed that she had poisoned her two
children, and had furnished her hus-
band with poison with which, she DE-
clares, he took his cwnlife, on account of
dependency caused by poverty. Mrs.
Whiteling's victims were her husband
john WhiteiiDg, her vear-oid daueh
ter Bertha, and boy Willie. two years
old. The family lived in poverty in the
rear of 1927 Cadwalader Street. The
husband died on March Doth last,
the girl on April oath, and
the little boy on May Goth.
Detectives worked at her for q confess
sion, but until to-day were unsuccess
full. Finally the woman broke down
from the weight of her awful secret and
made q clean breast Of the whole
affair She stoutIy maintains that
she did not administer poison 10
her husband. Bertha, she saws, she
killed, beeau$ che did not want
her to grow up ~ and the girl already
had propensity for stealing. The
little boy she killed because he was in
the way. She says she is sorry now,
aHd wants. the people to pray tor her.
So well did she play her par.
when the children and her hu,-
band were i'll, that the physician in
each case gave a certificate of death
from natural causes. Mrs. Whitelipg
protested great piety and on Sunday
last went to church in the neighbor-
hood of her altar and kneeling at the
altar rail and asked the prayers of the
congregation for the forgiveness of her
SINS. A post mortem examination dis
closed the fac: of poisoning and
the woman was arrested Sunday night.
There were several insurance policies on
the lives of the woman's victims, each
of the children and the husband being
insured for small amounts. but amount
ing in the aggregate to 1863, all CT
which she collected.

The first idea that suggested itself to
her was to creep under the steps and re-
main there until Mrs. Collins return.
Ere she mad time to do this, however, a
nuns form became visible in the dim,
semi-twilight that was shed from the
kitchen door above.
Lucy, with desperate instinct of self
preservation, put u both hands, exclaim-
ing;
"Have pity on mel Oh, have pity and
spare my lifeW
Upon 5hiS the burglar drew back, very
much surprised.
"Miss Htldeburn!' he exclaimed, as be

Now poor Lucy, completely unnerved
and dreadfolly ashamed OF herself, sat

Then Mr.. Sangster kuelt down beside
her, and confused Interchange Of expig-

The result was that at the expiration OF

When Mrs. Collins came nome two hours
later the house was Terr quiet, the fur.

Sangster nor Miss Hildeburn visible. But
the following day Lucy confded to her
secret, and Mr.. Sangs'er absepted him
self mysteriously for about three weeks.
After that Miss Hildeburn also disap-
peared.
"Gone TO visit her aunt at Swathorne,"
Mrs. Collins explained to the other board

corn-Northern Seed and Cultivation.

COTn-N Orthefn seed and Cultivation.
A CORES pondent OF the Kansas Farmer
tells what he knows about Northern grown
seed. III says: 1 have very little ez-
perieIce in farming in Kansas, but have
had quite 2 large experience in Illinois
/ have farmed in franklin County for
the past two years, adopting the plans of
farming / had taken up in early life.
My observation is good blowing, plenty
OF rolling, narrowing and cuitiva'ing.
This year 1 bought my seed corn III Shell
by County, Ia. | planted as pear as
could three grains in a mill. Harro we'd
my ground before planting. Immedj-
ately after planting L rolled, then harrow
ed, cultivated twice and rolled again
through the dty weather, then laid away
the cultivator ana used q gopher, the
same tool used in Illinois before [ en-
listed. One would think ! was behind
the times using old tools like this, but
use the gopher ia preference to anything
else TO lay by corn. Ny Iowa seed corn
| claim Is only part of the reason why
Esy crop 10 good. Ny corn stalks with
Northern seed are from Is feet to 215
feet shorter than Kansas corn, ard the
ears from one TO three more on each hill
and just 81 large, If not larger. / have
about fifty acres, and have been over the
State several times since this season, and
have failed to SEQ any better corn than
/ have. Whether it be Iowa seed or good
farming, / claim the latter the greatest
season TO be given for good corn crop.
l would further say before the late July
rains ray corn was out of the milk and
would have then made a good crop. This
is where the benefit of Iowa seed comes
in as well rs being well cultivated.
