Crimes Traced Hereditary Influence

In general way it has been found
that criminals customarily exhibit alb
normalities of physical structure, which
it is sought to classify for the purpose
OF studying to better advantage the
natural history of the wicked. Hitherto
1T has been supposed that the bad man
was made such chiefly by his unfortu
nate environment in youth, with posi-
bly, tinge of influence, innate and in.
herited; but science seeks to prove that
the criminal is born such, though
doubtless matured by unhealthy moral
conditions.
Criminal anthropology" therefore is
the study of the being who, in conse
quence OF physical conformation, hered-
ltary faint and surroundings of vice
yields to temptation and begins career
of crime. AS for the influence of hered
lty IN this matter better reference can.
not be made than to the case of the
Jukes, SO Infamous in history.
In seventy-tive years the descendants
OF single pair, 200 persons-all be-
came devoted to life of crime. 1t has
been estimated that over 81 $50, 900 OF
loss was caused by them, without TAX
ing into account the entailment of pau-
perism and crime upon subsequent gen
erations. Washington Star.

GETTING UhPERVERTED.

We are beginning to have
some hopes that the Democracy
of the Charlotte Chronicle and
and the Statewide Landmark
will, sooner or later, get entire
ly unperverted. In a recent is-
sue the editor says:
"The nomination Of Mr.. Elias
Carr has been received, if not
with great enthusiasm. at least
with gratifying cordially. He
cannot fail to be most accepti-
BILE candidate to Demo; cratic AL
liancemen because he is him
self a worthy and loyal Alliance
ran; he is acceptable to non-Al-
lance Democrats because he is
d Democ rat"
We are glad to see this, it is
quite an improvement. Mr.. Eli
as Carr stands squarely for eve
ry one of the Ocala demands
Sub Treasury and all. Yes, he
is a worthy and loyal Ocala
Democrat, and ha is very &C
ceptable 10 Mr.. Caldwell.
DR.. KiEg5bnry says no Demo-
GRAFT can believe in the SUD-
Treasury, pawn-broker business.
So Mr.. Carr is not Acceptable to
him.
Allow us to congratulate you,
Mr.. Caldwell, upon your pro-
progress. Your Democracy has
been unperverted, and you will
not have to leaye the party and

But the people now see what they

When the rich man buys gov
eminent bonds with greenbacks,
worth 60 cents on the dollar
and the government enacts a
law making those bonds paya-
Die in coin worth 100 cents on
the dollar, that's JUSTICE and
EQUITY. But when a farmer
borrows $1,000 on a farm worth
$4,000, and the government con-
tracts the money volume until
the farm is worth only $1,000
and the mortgage is forec!osed,
and the money lender gets the
whols farm, that's FINANcIERING,

THE FORCE BILL TO BLIND EC0NoM-
lC QUESTIONS.

The Republicans at their Ma,
tlonai Convention made the
Force bill the leading issue.
They place it above Protection
and everything else. 1t is the
only positive issue in their plat
form. This was a clear ac-
acknowledgement that they we've
wrong on economic questions,
and could not vindicate their
record or sustain their position
befo"e the people. In short
they ran from the real issues
before the country. They put
up a scare-crow, a red shirt to

shrewdly done to draw off the

An Ingenious Homemade Canoe,

In the back yard of an up town
house down at the end of the grass
plot rests canoe that gives evidence
of the ingenuity and perseverance of
two young lads who are it's designers
and makers.
| was an interested spectator of the
work from the beginning. First the
neighbors saw long pole brought into
the yard, then for few days the
grocers round about were bothered Cor
barrel hoops, and when at last a suf-
ficient stock of these was obtained the
real work began The soundest and
best of the hoops were tackled to the
under side of the pole, the largest ones
in the center, and with a sloping off
in size down to either end of the stick.
At this stage the structure took on
the appearance of a horses cadaver, in
verted. With mathematical nicely.
then frame work was nailed to the
free ends of the barrel hoops, inclos
Ing them and giving less of a CHASTITY
appearance to things. Then the but
termen in the district were kept busy
supplying the call for old cheese boxes.
These the youngsters broke apart, using
the round body of light wood for
cover to the skeleton, thus giving it, so
to speak, a ''local habitation and
name"
Canvas came next, through the me-
dunn OF persuading butcher that he
needed a new awning for his shop.
Newspapers were pasted all over the
cheese box cover of the shell, the old
awning over that, q cover of like ma
terial was affixed, leaving only open
ings for the paddler and the one to his
locker. Two coats of paint were ap-
piled, seat of light wood was inserted,
and those boys will soon paddle their
own canoe at a neighboring summer
resort.
One of them told me it cost "an even
fifty cents in cash for the whole bust
ness" but it will be worth fortune to
the boys, provided it does not sink with
them, If it has taught them to sail in
their own boats through life.-New

A Poets Coed Appetite.

Heinrich Heine, when a student al
Gottingen, was invited with n fellow
student TO take supper with Professor
Hugo and his hospitable wife. The
fare was simple and not too plentiful,
but one disl was viewed with conscious
pride by the hostess, who evidently
felt that nothing could be better for the
occasion; this was a small plate con.
tanning four fat sausages, with tempt.
ing gravy and furnishings of green.
The choice dish was passed first to
Heine, who was in the full tide of n
long and animated discourse, setting
forth his opinions on some question
which had been started by the profes
sor.
Instead of serving himself to one sau.
sage, and allowing the dish to proceed
on its way to the others who were eager.
ly expecting it, he seized the plate,
placed it before him, and proceeded to
dispose of one sausage after another,
not neglecting the gravy either, until
the furnishings alone remained to show
the havoc lie had made.
Coming to the end of his speech al
about the same time that he finished the
last sausage, he looked at the gloomy
faces about him, then at the empty
dish, discovered what had been the
meaning of certain spasmodic attempts
on the part of Professor Hugo and his
distracted spouse to interrupt his flow
of language, and of course made pro
fuse apologies.
But he was never invited to that
house for supper again-the chance OF
being left supperIess themselves was too
great for his hosts to risk it a second
time!-Youth's Companion.
