MOTHER KILLS HER CHILD!

The town of Bolivar was shocked
yesterday morning, when it was re-
ported on the streets that Mrs. Cam
ME Sheets, wife of Mr.. George
Sheets, had killed her little seven
year old daughter, George.
A jury of inquest was summoned
by Esquire J. A. Wilson, who went
Immediately to the residence of Mr..
Sheets to investigate the sad affair.
The important witness examin-
ed was Mrs. Sheets, the murderess.
Mrs. Sheets admitted that she
killed the child, and said that she
did not regret it. When asked why
she committed the rash act, she
coulk not tell-she loved the child.
Miss Dollie Sheets, who is blind,
and who has been sick for the past
three weeks, was the only other
person on the place when the deed
was committed. She heard a pecu-
liar noise in the room in which Mrs.
Sheets and the little child occupied.
A short time after the noise, Mrs.
Sheets came into the room of Miss
Sheets and asked her if she wanted
breakfast. Then it was that Miss
Sheets inquired about the peculiar
noise. Mrs. Sheets stated to her
that the noise was made by George,
the little girl-that she was asleep.
Miss Sheets said in her evidence
before the jury that she thought it
strange that the child would 60 to
sleep at that hour eight o'clock in
the morning,) but she supposed it
had been taken with chill. Know
ing that Mrs. Sheets was complain
ing also, Miss Sheets went to the
house of negro woman, who lives
near by, to request her to cook din
ner. When the negro woman came
over, she went into the room of Mrs.
Sheets, and there lying upon the
floor, saturated with its own blood,
Law the little child dead, with seven
or eight gashes in its head. A sharp
iron instrument, a cooper's adze,
which caused its death, was lying
near. When questioned by the jury
Mrs. Sheets was quiet and composed.
She does not seem to- realize the
enormity of the crime.
Following is the verdict of the
jury of inquest:
S e: ! s f 1 s $f;::s

tain the cause of the death of George

look Toward the Light.

In sickroom there was little rose
bush in pot in the window. There
was only one rose on the bush, and its
face was turned full toward the light
This fact was noticed and spoken Of
when one said that the rose would look
no other way save toward the light.
Experiments had been made with it; it
had been turned away from the window,
its face toward the gloom of the interior,
but in little time it would resume its
old position. With wonderful persist
ence it refused to keep its face toward
the darkness and insisted on ever look
ing toward the light. The rose has its
lesson for us.
We should never allow ourselves to
face toward life's gloom. We should
never sit down in the shadows of any
sorrow and let the night darken over us
into the gloom of despair. We should
turn our faces away toward the light
and quicken every energy for Drawer
duty and truer, holier service. Grief
should always make us better and give
us new skill and power; it should make
our hearts softer, our spirits kindlier,
our touch more gentle; it should teach
us it's holy lessons, and we should learn
them, and then go on with sorrows sa-
cred ordination upon us to new love and
better service.-Selected

One on Joe Bailey.

Senator Perry j. Lewis tells story on
Congressman Joe Bailey, for which, how
ever, he quotes Senator A. M. Carter Of
Fort Worth as authority.
"One day." said Lewis, Garter and
Joe Bailey were standing on the stree
when they saw approaching them &
darby mounted on frisky and spirited
horse, whose fine appearance caught the
fancy of Garter, who is lover of fine
horsefesh. Carter hailed the darby and
remarked:
"That's q pretty spirited animal you
are riding, old man. Is he good run
ner?''
"'Well, no, sab, he isn't much of a
runnin hoss,' replied the rider.
"'Oh, then he is a good trotter, I sup
pose, remarked Carter.
"FNo, sab, he amt no trotter neither,
said Scipio Africanus.
"'Oh, see, calculated Carter; 'heis a
No. PAGER
"'No. sab, dis boss amt no trotter,
nor he amt no PAGER needer.'
"'Well, what is he fit for anyhow?
asked Carter.
"'Just ter prance aroun an look fine,
boss replied the darby, AN dat's why l
has outen acompliment named him arter
Marse Joe Bailey dar.'" - Galveston

The desperate nature of the anarchistic

the relentless application of the legal PEN

Miss Russelps Fondness For Poker.

am informed that one reason Of the
little rift within the Perugini lutte con-
sisted In Miss Russell's prediction for
poker. This is a science to which the
golden diva has devoted much study.
She likes game of poker and plays it
on the strict rules laid down by Gen
eral Schenck. Her parties for this di-
version are usually composed of four or
five people, each of whom is million
aire. But Miss Russell's income aver
ages $50, 900, and she can afford to play.
The limit is high and the betting lively.
Signor Perugini, whose salary is only
$3.50 week, could not sit down at such
a game without risking his entire weeks
earnings. Consequently he was ruled
out and had to solace himself with sem
timental arias up stairs while his wife
was winning or losing fortune down
stairs. This isolation brought dis
quietude to his thoughts, and next morn
ing he was perhaps not so cheerful a
companion as a diva would wish at the
breakfast table. New York Press.

A big gray goat walked the other day
down Whitehall street. When he came
near to vendors cart which stood, piled
with bananas, by the curb on the east
side of the street, he paused and survey
ed the fruit with fixed and expression
less woodenness of countenance. A man
who came along as the goat stood there
stopped and bought banana. He strip
ped the banana and handed the peel to
the goat. Then the man and the goat
both stood there and ate-the goat with
undertaking gravity. the man with ris-
ing smile. When they had finished, the
man went on his way, the smile still
playing on his features. The goat passed
on with a countenance of unbroken
woodenness.- York Sun.
