HIS CLIENT WAS GUILTY.

Several years ago. when Judge

indianapolis Sentinel, he was called

with the accused several times In

idea that the man was honest and
was literally being outraged by the
authorities. Mr. Reinhard entered
into the case with characteristic
earnestness aud prepared himself
thoroughly to make tho defense.
When the case came to preliminary

fight and secured the discharge OF
his client Outside the courtroom,
after the trial, the elect button.

him into an alloy out Of sight Of the

Bcllamy on Our Future.

l confess I cannot understand the
mental operations Of good men or
women who from the moment they
are parents do not become intensely
interested in the social question.
writes Edward Bellamy in the Ladies'
Home Journal. That an unmarried
man or even a man childless though
married should concern himself little
about the future Of race In which
he may argue that he will have no
personal stake, IL conceivable, though
such indifference Is not morally edify.
Ing.
From the time their children are
born IL becomes the great problem
with parents how to provide for and
safeguard their future when they
themselves shall no longer be on
earth. To this end they painfully
spare and save and plot and plan to
secure from their offspring all the ad.
vantages that may give them q bet
ter chance than other mans children
inlthe struggle for existence.
They do this, knowing sadly we'll
the while, for observation and ex.
pcrience, how vain all such safeguards
may prove, how impossible 1t Is for
even the wisest and wealthies OF
fathers to make sure that the
cherished child he leaves behind may
not be glad to earn his bread as q
servant to the children of bis fathers
servants. Still the parent tolls and
saves, feeling that this IL tho best
and all no can do for his offspring,
little though " be. But Is Il?
Surely a moments drought will show
that this IL . wholly uns ientinc way
Of going about the work Of providing
for the future of ones children.

to sad state Of pulp. Hens have picked

nibbled them. An odd story Is told in
this connection:
Not long ago a $50 note was sent to the
United states treasury for redemption.
Accompanying IL was an affidavit saying
that the owner put II in cigar box, where
mice had got at II ana niDDled H. Inc note
