HOLMES WILL HANG.
The Chicago Police So Confidently
Announce.

Announce.
CHICAGO, August There is now
little doubt that the Chicago police
will convict II. H. Holmes, alias
Mudgett, alias Pratt. alias Gordon, now
in the Philadelphia jail for the murder
of at least seven persons. They know
the name of man who can hang
Holmes by giving his testimony and
that man is in their power. His namc
X is Hatch, alias Bond, alias Mascot, and
he is now serving sentence of ten
years in the penitentlary at Little
Rock, Ark, for horse stealing. He is
as close to Holmes through all his
murder plans as Janitor Qninlan, and
is ready to tell all he knows Thia
includes the pointing out OF the resting
place of the bodies of the Williams
sisters, whom he himself assisted in
secreting after they were murdered.
He will tell how they were murdered
and exactly how their bodies We're
handled. He will also give full and
explicit information concerning the
murder Of Pietzel and his two children
and of Mrs. Julia Connors and her
daughter, Pearl. In short, this man
is the only other living person aside
| from Quinlan who can tell the story of
! the murders in the charnel house at
/ Sixty-third and Wallace streets. Aside
from Quinlan he is the only man who
can tell Of Holmes crimes in way
that will bring forth evidence OF
| Holmes guilt. It has been arranged
| to request his pardon from the governor
of Arkansas If he will give his testi-
mony with the understanding that he
will not be prosecuted in Illinois for
completely in Holmes frauds and
| crimes.

Stella ran joyfully to get ready. Her,
heart was light as feather now; for
was she not going to bring some one
who could make her papa well?
She washed her face, hands and little
brown feet in the brook near by,and put
on her clean dress and white sunbon-
net She took few cookies in her
pocket for lunch and started off.
The child felt quite happy now and
anioyed the sunshine, the songs of
birds, and the flowers along, the way.
She ran briskly on, she was so eager
to reach the city and find the doctor
before her father grew any worse. She
laughed as the light breeze stirred her
hair and she Knocked the birds as she
tripped along For awhile, the houses
were frequent. The air was cool and
the sun not too hot. Stella longed for
a drink of water, but would not stop
to get my because oe the delay it would
cause her.
The houses gradually grew less and
less frequent and the road led over a
treeies plain where the sun shone hot
overhead Our little traveller was very
tired. She had not thought of her
lunch or realized that she was very
hungry.
When the plain was passed she came
to a thick wood where the rays of the
sun hardly penetrated. About in the
center of this wood she espied a man
lying beside the road-a dirty, ragged
fellow with an evil face.

HOW TO BECOME a RUNNER.
One Of the Most Healthfui Exercises q
Boy Can Take In,

One of the Most Hcalthful Exercises
Boy Can Take IN
Running is one Of the best OF exer-
cises for the whole body. 1t rounds out
hollow chest, drives the oxygen into
the farthest air-cells Of the lungs, wonl
derfully increases their capacity, and
develops the leg, thigh, stomach, and
waist muscles. But it must be learned,
just as skating, swimming, and bicyi
cling have to be learned, and there are
two things that must be kept in mind
by the learner. The first is whether
in sprinting, distance, or cross-country
running--to run entirely on the bal! Of
the foot, or, as they say on the track,
Get up on your toesn BY striking on
the ball of the foot, which is a sort Of
natural spring board, the runner takes
longer stride, and the spring that he
gets enables him to lift his foot more
rapidly and repeat the stride more
quickly than the runner who goes fat
footed. AS length and rapidly Of
stride are what give speed in running,
it follows that fat-footed runner can
never be a fast one. Another reason
against pounding away fiat-footed is
that the delicate mechanism of the an
kle, knee, and hip is Jared and may
in time be injured. The second point
for a runner to observe is his method
Of breathing. Breathe through both the
nose and mouth. Nearly every boy
when he first begins to run has the in
sane idea that all the breathing must
be done through the nose. There was
never a greater mistake. When a boy
runs his heart beats much faster than
it does ordinarily, and pumps out just
so much more blood. All this must
be aerated or purified by air from the
lungs. The oppression that one feels
when beginning to run is due to the
lungs demanding more air for the ex-
ira quantity Of blood which the heart is
sending out. Nature has looked out
for this and provided a way by which
air can be furnished to the lungs very
rapidly tits a very simple way, and
consists Of merely opening the mouth.
Breathe, then, through the nose in or
binary life as much as possible, but
when you are running or exercising
violently open the mouth and take in
air in deep, rapid breaths, not gulping
it in through the mouth alone, but LETT
ting the mouth and nose have each
their share.
Take as long a stride as possible, but
without overbalancing the body. Bend
the body slightly from the hips; for
II it be held too erect the stride will be
shortened. Let the bent arms swing
easily and naturally a little above the
level of the hips. swinging out and back
! with every stride. This keeps the mus
cles loose, prevents them from becom-
ing tired so easily as they would If
held rigid, and balances the body bet
| ter. Take especial pains to keep the
body from being stiff; let it swing
as easily and lithely as possible. In
sprinting the stride is shorter and
| more rapid than in long-distance rum
ming, and Splinter usually runs with
body thrown farther back, in quite diff
ferent form from the long, easy lope
OF the distance runner Nicholas.

how cruel it seemed for everything TO-
look SO radiant when human hearts
We're breaking.
So, at least, thought Stella Wynn, as
she lay among the tall green grass, IN
front of the tiny white house, half hid
den by the woodbine that clampered
over 1t.
In and out among the honeysucRles
flew the yellow bees, making the air
drowsy with their humming, and one
went close to Stella's ear, and posing
himself on flower near her huzzed
loudly. The child raised her head
moment TO listen. oh" she cried.
eagerly. Tile is telling me good news!
/ hope it is about papa"
But when sadder sound came from
within the house, groaM Of pain, Stei-
las tears flowed again, For her father
was very Ill, perhaps dying. and no
one knew what to do for him.
Just seven miles away, in the city,
lived the grear doctor who did sucn
wonderful cures, Stella, in the limos
cence Of her heart, had asked her
mother why he did not come and cure
papa. Her mother had answered with
some bitterness, HE cures rich peo-
pie, my child. 1t would cost more DOL
lars than we have cents to get his
help. Poor people have to die when
they fall sick, because they have no
money
Stella wished she could find some
money or that she had something OF
her own that she could sell and get
the money to pay the great doctor. 9,
in Little Women sold her hair fer her
father, when he was ILL thought she
She looked at her own little yellow pig
tail in disgust 1T wouldn't bring 20
cents!' she said aloud.
In stories the herones' grandmothers
always left them some valuable Jewels,
which were sold for great prices IN
time of need; or the old family Bible
suddenly disclosed bank bills OF large
denominations But her grandmother
had nothing to leave her, and she had
searched the leaves of the Bible.
No. there was nothing she could 90
for him. Oh. il Christ were only on
earth! she would walk hundreds OF
miles and beg of Him her fathers life!
Following this thought came again
that of the great doctor. Indeed. she
had hardly ceased to think about him
all day. She never once doubted that
he would cure her father If he only
came to him.
oh" thought Stella, "if mamma
would only let me go to him! I know
he would come, for surely a man VINO
can cure everybody must be good
man, and must love to do it"
SIZE thought of her good, kind fatheT,
wholoyed her so well, and Of the walks
they used to take together, when he
held her hand in his firm, strong grasp
and told her stories as they walked
along, or explained the names and
uses of the flowers along their way.

Lost for Twelve Years and Then strangely

Several days ago A. N Meyer, re-
ceiving teller Of the Wyandotte Ma
tion1 Bank, Of Kansas City, Kan,
found among his days receipts a quar-
ter of a dollar bearing the name of
IN. w. La Rue, Louisville, KY" to-
gether with some heiroglyphics, the
individual marks of a Royal Arch
Mason, says the Kansas City Star. He
thought that the coin was undoubtedly
a highly priced pocket piece, and he
directed a postal card to M. w. La
Rue, Louisville, in the hope Of finding
the owner. He had almost forgotten
the matter when he received a letter
from Mr.. La Rue, who had removed
from Louisville to Cincinnati, and aft
erward to Winton Place, Ohio, OF
which village he is now mayor. He said
that he had lost the pocket piece twelve
years ago, and expressed himself very
anxiously to get it back, saying he
would gladly pay for the coin and for
Mr.. Meyers trouble.
Mr.. Meyer sent it by registered let.
ter to Mayor La Rue, and Friday he
received a letter from him acknowl-
edging the receipt and inclosing SO
cents, which, he said, was to pay ex-
penses, 20 cents for the quarter, l cent
for postal card and 10 cents for the
registry stamp. He added: "The wan
