In one Of the ablest speeches delivered by the
"Gand Old Man" he showed concusvely that education
is not luxury but prime necessity to the laborng man
OF today.
He says: 'fYou want amusement, but that does not
exclude improvement. Do you suppose when you
engaged in study that they dislike it No There
is labor doubt but it is associated with interest all
along that it is forgotten in the delight which it carries
in its performance and no people know that better than
the working classes"
If you let your children follow out their own i'm.
pulses they will ask questions, and if you provide the
of answering you will encourage them and cause
delight and pleasure in research Soon they will have
natural habit OF learning little each day. and learning
will then be recreation to them So that all they require
is Encyclopedia in the home to the most prac-
tical education.
Gladstone says further that it possible to 60
straight into the very heart the very sanctuary of the
temple of learning and become acquainted with the best
works that men have produced
at is not to be supposed that workingmen, com.
ing home from labor to study Euclid and works Of
that character-and it is to be desired except
of very special giftsbut what is to be desired is that
some effort should be made by men of all classes, and
ourselves above the level of what purely frivolous and
to endeavor to find amusement making ourselves
acquainted with things of real interest and beauty"
All the recorded wisdom of all great writers, past and
present. contained in the Encyclopedia Britannica,
that every shade of taste find its liking whether it ba
such subjects Euclid the commones topics of every
day life-wheher to learn how to the distance
to Mars or how to tie square knot in a rope.
What blessing that in this library the aboring
man can command the wisdom of the world.
In his speech the occasion of the distribution Of
the prizes at the Noncontormst School at Mill Hill he
compared the advantages of to-day with the advantages OF
the ancient A they have achieved is before YOU Their
great experiences are at your service and command
"You have this enormous advantage under the pecu-
liar condition of this age"

that the waste of it will make you dwlnde alike in intel

THE CRIME OF A WIFE
Brutal Murder of a Farmer Near
Carondelet, Ills.

And, Aided by Her Paramour, waylaid

tim Was First Shot. and Then the


Her Aged Husband at Night-The vie-
tim Was First Shot. and Then the
Wife Crushed His Skull with n Hammer
ST. Louis, Aug. 9-Fred Kahn, an aged
farmer living just outside the east limits
of Carondelet, Ills, was murdered Tues
day night by his young wife, Annie,
and her paramount, George Centrell, who
worked for the murdered man. Just be-
fore 10 o'clock several persons heard cries
and pistol shots. At turn of the road ),
about 800 yards from his home, they
found Kahn in pool of blood and evil
dences that horrible struggle had oc-
Cured. Across a corn field the struggled
had been carried until the final blow with
a two pound blacksmith's hammer hadI
been dealt. 1t carried away the entire
left side of the head as far down as theI
cheek bone, including the eye and part ell
the nose. The bullet wounds also were
in themselves enough to kill the mar !.
The weapons and bloody clothing of the
guilty pair were found hidden near the
place where the man WAS murdered. The,
man and woman were captured.
Mrs. Kahn and her paramount, Georgel
Centrell, made a confession. The latter
was the first to break. He said that al
man named Jerry Johnson had met himl
and given him n revolver, with which hel
was compelled to shoot Kahn. Centrell!
then told practically the story of the mur-l
der as already related, beginning Mt the'
attack on Kahn at the straw pile and the,
flight across the corner of the corn field,
up to the spot where Kahn was found.
Johnson, as far us can be learned FROM
the evidence, is Mrs. Kahn, who, logged
up in pair of her husbands trousers, isl
said to have welded the hammer which,
smashed in the head of the murdered
man Centrell says she was there and
took an active part in the murder.
The strongest evidence against her isj
the story told by her own son, Edward
Bozo, who is n stepson of the dead man.
The boy, who is not more than "a years
old, says that when the old man went
away from the house to go to BungtownI
his mother and George went out ogether,
and that his mother had the hammer and
bundle. When he heard the shooting
and the screams of murder he began toI
yell for his mother, who did not come in
for some time after that. When she did
come back she told hiLa to shut up his
noise and go to bed,
The woman at first tried to tell the
johnson story, but when she heard of
Centrell's confession she said that it had
all been done by Centrell, and that mol
such person as johnson had been mixed
up with the affair. She stoutly denied
NIL charges of criminal intimacy between
herself aud Centrell until she learned
that Centrell had owned to 1t.
Kahn was well to do farmer. He was
known to have $40 in currency on him
when murdered, and this was stolen after
the murder. Some of the dead mans pa
pers were found in Sentrellfs clothes, but
the money was not. Centrell insists that
johnson took the cash.
