BOY MURpERER.

The Youngest Convict I'm the United States
Wonderfully innocent-looking is pris-
oner No. 1900 In the Iowa State Pris-
on, slim boy eleven years old. He Is
rather q handsome boy, with a broad
forehead and a thoughtful face, as the
photograph shows. Heis the youngest
prisoner ever received at the prison or,
it is believed, at any other State
prison.
Prisoner 1900 is sentenced to the
Iowa State Penitentiary for life. His
crime was the brutal and premeditated
murder of his father and stepmother
near Edgewood, Clayton County, in
July, 1889.
Early one morning Wesley drove the
old farm team furiously up to a neigh
boris house. He had the baby In the
wagon with him. He had an awful
story to tell. When he arose that
morning and went TO his parents room
terrible sight met his eyes.
Lying stretched out on the bed was
the body of his father with bullet
hole through his head. Half on the
bed and half on the floor was the body
of his stepmother. Her head was
beaten to jelly. On the floor lay
heavy club, smeared with blood, and
his fathers old muzzle-loading rifle,
with which the CHASTITY work had been
done.
The community was excited and
many people were thrown under sus-
picion. The eldest son proved an
alibi.
Wesley, the ten-year-old boy, main
tanned his story. He showed no sign
of grief No tear came to his eye.
Coolly and in a matter of fact way he
related again and again the details of
his horrid discovery. It was always
the same.
He was finally arrested, however,
and locked up in jail at Elknder. One
day this 10-year old child called the Off
Gals into his cell and confessed that the
work was his. There was no breaking
down. no tears. Coolly and calmly
again he detailed the story.
His father and his stepmother
whipped him and he would not stand
it. He waited until his brother was
gone away and he was alone in the
house with his parents. At 3 o'clock
in the morning he got up. stole down
stairs and loaded his fathers old muz-
zle-loading rifle, which hung on the
wall in the bedroom. He put the muz-

A DOCTORS CONFESSION.
He Doesn't Take Much Medicine
and Advises the Reporter Not To.

"Humbug? OF course it is. The
so-called science of medicine is hum
bug and has been from the time of
Hippocrates to the present. Why, the
biggest crank in the Indian tribes is
the medicine man"
Every frank was the admission, es-
pecially so when it came from one o.
the biggest young physicians of the
city, one whose practice is among the
thousands, though he has been gradu-
ated but few years." says the Buffalo
Courier. every coy was his Office
too, with. it's cheerful CRATE fire, its
Queen Anne furniture, and its many
lounges and easy chairs. He stirred
the fire lazily, lighted fresh cigar,
and went on"
''Take the prescriptions laid down in
the books and what do you find? Poi
sons mainly, and nauseating stuffs,
that would make a healthy man an in
valid. Why in the world science
should go to poisons for it's remedies I
cannot tell, nor can find any one who
can"
"How does a doctor know the effect
Of his medicine?'' he asked. "He
calls, prescribes, and goes away. The
only way to Judge would be to stand
over thu bed and watch the patient.
This cannot be done. So, really, I
don't know how he Is going to tell
what good or hurt he does. Some
time ago, you remember, the Boston
Globe sent out reporter with a stat
ed set of symptoms. He went to
eleven prominent physicians and
brought back eleven different prescrip-
tions. This just shows how much
science there is in medicine"
There are local diseases OF various
characters for which nature provides
positive remedies. They may not be
included in the regular physicians list,
perhaps, because of their simplicity
but the evidence of their curative pow
er is beyond dispute. Kidney disease
is cured by Warmers Safe Cure, a
strictly herbal remedy. Thousands of
persons, every year, write as does II. J..
Gardiner, of Pontiac, r. l., August Z,
1890.

than probably ever will be known

liver complaint. It is the old story

FIGS AND THIsTLEs.
From az Ram.s Horn.


God never made homeIy face.
Perfection of any kind is loveable.
A good mans life is living PRAYER
Better kind mo" than a snarling
Eyes"
No man can live any higher then he
looks.
To delay now may mean to be too
late for ever-s
When experience comes to stand
still faith dies.
No man can be killed while Christ
lives In him.
Those who would lead others should
always look up.
The devil never pushes a man who
Is willing to stand still and do moth
You may not be able to do great
things, but you can be faithful in lit
tie ones.
God chastens His people when they
sin, and comforts them when they
pray.
The truth may be crucifed, but no
grave can be made deep enough to
hold it.
The thing God wants man to do
is the Very thing the devil doesn't want
him to do.
God needs consecrated lives a mill
lion times more than BE needs gold
and silver.
If you go to church without praying
for the preacher, the devil will go with
you.
If you will follow Christ closely,
God will take care of the one who fol-
lows you.
A good many people never try to walk
by faith as long as they can possibly
get along by sight.
The soldier who is first over the ram
parts is not always the one who wears
the finest uniform.
The surest way to find out the truth
about God, is to go to the Bible and
find out the truth about yourself
All the light that any man needs
to become a Christian is enough to
tell him that God is right and he is
wrong.
Every time you are drawn toward
the good, no matter how slight the
feeling, it is the voice of God calling
you.
The church member who is ashamed
of the cross of Christ will have an up
hill time of it in getting to heaven.
The man who is always ready to
speak or believe evil about other people
has the wrong kind of a heart to take
him to heaven.
A good many people who pray for a
baptism of the Holy Ghost, do not get
it because they are afraid it would burn
up their money.
The man who can look at a thermom-
eter on very hot day, and go away
and tell the exact truth about 1t will
do to trust almost anywhere.
The man who looks at his wife as
though the moon was about to turn to
blood whenever she asks him for
couple of dollars. is not likely to be-
come very eloquent in prayer at his
family altar.

How to Arouse a Drunken Man.

The best way to arouse a drunken
man is to pinch him under the arms, 4"

fellow lying across the track at Tenth
and Morgan streets late one night and
it seemed impossible to arouse him.
I dubbed him over the soles of his feet

gentleman suggested that pinch him

~The effect was electrical, I had

MISS GABRIELLE OREELEH. 10
Presidency and within a few weeks Of
the death of his wife, he left two daugh.
tiers, Ida and Gabrielle, behind him.
Ida, the elder, was married shortly af-
ter her fathers death to Colonel Nicho-
las Smith, of Louisville. and died five
years later, leaving two children.
Gabrielle still survives. She lives at
the old family residence at Chappaqua,

and to the education of her sisters
children, whom she has cared for since
a short time after their mothers death

Horace Greeley, although the founder
of a successful newspaper which has
made other men rich, died poor. Both
he and his wife gave freely in charity,
and the Presidential campaign had
been heavy drain on his resources.
The Tribune hfsl been sadly depreciat-
ed as property by the dissatisfaction
of its old patrons with Mr.. Greeley's
political course, and his interest was
disposed of before any of the lost
ground could be recovered. His two
daughters were therefore not as well
provided for as the public generally
supposed. The farm at Chappaqua
contains 'seyenty-fve acres of good
land and Miss Greeley's excellent man
