Of the building is filled with enormous
kettles in which the bones Of the
corpses are boiled till all the flesh is
separated from them. The skulls are
prepared separately and in the most
careful manner. One way of prepar-
ing the skulls Of children and young
people is to fill the hollow where the
brains were situated with peas and
then let the latter swell in water. which
causes eve the most d~elicatelr joined
bones to separate without being in
jured. After all the bones have been
carefully washed, they are bleaehed
either by chloral or by exposure to
the sun, and are then joined in an-
other department of the factory and
made flexible by means of brass wires.
Most Of the corpseS whose bones are
utilized are said to be brought from

Hank FirestoBe was looked upon
as a good deal of a hero round
about Smithvilie. and only one man Of
any account had ever been known 20
speak harshly Of the notorious moon
sinner. That maj was Judge Eldridge.
OF course, when he was on The Judicial
bench. il became him as the official
interpreter Of law and order to resent
and depreeate the lawless practice Of
Erestone and his crew. But it was
not only in public that he expressed
his isl-will toward the mooHshiners-
Long after his retirement from public
duties he still cherished s strong hatred
for Firestone and his followers. and
had actually offered to pay a thousand
dollars to any man or men who would
secure Hank Firestone's arrest

WAS known TO be a very warm admirer
Of the aforesaid Miss Sadie.

they are likewise imped,d by a slight
coating of dust, because the inter.

this TO be the case. When we see a

how quickly a fly takes fligh. even
