How Donald Grant Mitchell Lives-How
He Escaped Consumption by storm
at sea-Popularity of "Reveries of "A
Bachelor" and "Dream Life"
About forty years ago all the reading
young people were able to fill their leisure
hours with dream of delight over the
gentle, genial musings of TX Marvel.
No one could point out the exact features
of "Dream Life" and "Reveries of Bach
elor" which made them so pleasant. They
were like some phases of nature which
steal upon the senses and charm one ere
he is aware.
1t will please all the advanced boys and
girls of 1926 and whereabouts to learn
that the author of the "Reveries," Donald
Grant Mitchell, still lives at his oft cele-
brated home, Edgewood, and that he is in
rather the best health of his life, enjoying
at seventy vigor of body and mind which
at twenty he never dreamed of attaining.
At that age indeed he scarcely promised
himself a dozen more years of life, and
skilled physicians declared that consump-
ton was implanted in him at birth, had
grown as he had grown and would become
fatal soon after he reached maturity.

And if ever you chance to cross his sweet will.

GAN EAT PIE

if it is made with Cottolene,
the new pure substitute for
lard. Cottolene is simply
pure cottonseed oil and
pure beef suet, two Of the
healthiest foods known.
Properly combined they
are better than lard for all
kinds of shortening, and
everyone can eat, digest,
and enjoy food cooked with
it. Food that was indiges-
tible when cooked with
lard is easily digested when
cooked with Cottolene, and
many of the leading house
keepers Of the land say
they can make nicer bread,
rolls, biscuit, cakes, cookies,
ginger bread, pies, patties,
tarts, griddle cakes, cro-
quotes with Cottolene than
with either lard or butter.

PUELrC SALE OF NEGROES.
On the Verge of a Race War Ii
Missouri.

FAYETTE, Mo-, April 25.-This town Is
again on the verge Of race war because
of a vagrant sale of negroes which took
place here. About month ago a good
deal of excitement was caused by the
sale of three vagrant negroes. On Satur-
day the feeling was intensified by the
public sale of block Of three men and
one woman because they had no visible
means of support. Henry Thompson,
William Miller and John Wilkins were
the men. All are hearty negroes who
were never before arrested on any
charge. The woman was good looking
mulatto, Mary Whiteside. She was ac-
cused of vagrancy.
The colored people were brought into
the public square and great crowd of
both colors gathered. The whites made
fun of the poor victims and the Blacks
freely exposed their displeasure at the
scene which brought to their minds the
days of actual slavery. The woman was
put first. She brought $40 for the sixty
days work that the county fined her.
The men sold for $40, $12 and S13 re-
spectively, being bought by reliable
farmers hereabouts. The woman will
work in good family in town. Negroes
declare that this must stop OF that the
whites must be sold with the negroes.
The sale took place on block, Sheriff
Creiger officiating.

A MADMANs CRIMES.
Fearfully Butchered His Wife and Then
Drowned His Children.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 25.-The choir
master of private chapel in Peterhof
parish, sixteen miles west of this city,
suddenly went crazy at his house. His
wife was in bed and he was preparing
for bed when he was stricken. He got
an AK from the woodshed and chopped
his wife into small pieces on the bed,
gathered the pieces in pans and emptied
them into the stove.
His three children, of 8, 10 and 12
years, who slept in the next room,
awoke and screamed for help. The
choir master bound and gagged them,
dragged them to the river at the foot of
his place and drowned them.
Neighbors who had been reused by
the children's screams and had ran to
the river, but, too late to save their lives,
tried to catch the father, but he eluded
them and plunged into the water. He
was dragged out and taken to Jail. A
crowd gathered around the building
early yesterday morning and tried to
force an entrance that they might lynch
the prisoner, but they were driven off
by watchmen.
The choir masters insanity is thought
to be due to his fanatical zeal in church
work and his prolonged fasting. Re
