There is story that tho most IA
nous Of all Japanese robbers, Ishlkawa
Goemon, once by night entering house
to kill and steal was charmed by the
smile of a ta.y which reached out
hands to him, a1d lie remained play
ing with the little creature until all
chance Of carrying cat his purpose was
lost It is Tot hard to believe this story.
Every year the police records tell of
compassion shown 10 children by pro-
fessional criminals. Some months ago a
terrible murder case was reported III the
local papers-the slaughter OF house
hold by robDera. Seven persons had been
literally hewn TO pieces while asleep,
but the police discovered q little boy
quite unframed, crying alone in pool
Of blood, and they found evidence IN
mistakabIc that the men who slew must
have taken great care lot to hurt the
child -LafCadio Eearr.

AN AWFUL MURDER
Brings to Light Another Instnnce of
Irving's Generosity.


New York, Jan. PA dispatch to a
local paper from London says; A
frightful murder here this week makes
known another instance OF Sir Henry
Irving's constant generosity, The VIC
tim was the daughter-in-law of old
Tom Chambers at whose Liverpool
theater Mr. Irving played in his youth.
Her husband seems to have been n
worthless fellow who LETT ner with
seven children to support. Henry
Irving had ever since allowed her one
pound $50 a week from his private
purse which she supplemented by taxi
ing as a boarder Mrs. Pearson. The
murder was committed, apparently
for money by Mrs. Pearson's son. a
returned convict.

CAP. soMMERs' FARM AGAIN
Secretary of the Interior Disqualiiies a
Claims to the Valuable Land.

Oklahoma City. o. r, Feb. 2S.-The
Times-Journal says: a new turn has
been taken on the Captain Sommers
farm lying a half mile north of May
wood. Captain SOmmer was station
ed at this place prior to the opening as
forwarding agent for stores TO be trans
ported TO st. Louis. On the afternoon
of the opening he made settlement on
the claim. and in four or five days he
filed a soldiers declaratOry on it. Sew
eral contests were removed but one,
that of Mr.. MooreS. brOther-in-law to
Mr.. W q. Harm. The local office de-
cided in favor of Sommer, but the
complications were such that even the
department a. Washington found 1t
difficult To determine the true status
of the land. 4 couple of entries had
during the tendency Of the contest
been cancelled, and at one time two
filings existed. 1t got to the secretary
of the interior and was sent back 10
the local office with suggestions and
again got to the secretary. On Tues
day the secretary swept away the
claims of everybody by declaring all
of them disqualified. Mr.. Harm re-
ceived the telegram Tuesday evening
and he lost no time in making settle
ment on the land in his own behalf.
The farm is good one and being so
near the city. is quite valuable. County
Attorney Brown is living on the farm
but having had a homestead in Okla
homa he is disqualified TO lay claim
to il. Had he not been disqualified
the farm would have fallen TO him.
