nary man in appearance and manners, and is oddly attired; looks much like the picture extant of Christ; wears a black robe-on a silk band in front are the words: "Diyine Healer, Schrader." He wears a full beard which is soft and wavy, and his voice is soft; eyes a mild blue. He informed us that he was just 9 years of age yesterday, and has never shayen; at 13 he was called of God, and has since travelled all over this country healing people free of charge. He accepts small donation when properly offered. Large num- bers are visiting him and he "blesses" many handkerchiefs, besides giving free of charge treatment to those who want it. He is not a member of any church, but claims to have direct com munication with God; does not guar antee to heal diseases, but if applicant exercises faith, cure will follow.
 His manager. Mir. G. R Merriman, sells his picture at 9 cents. to those who may want it.
 Schrader may be here fer day or two weeks; says he acts as the Spirit of God directs him.

Professor Grafalo attributes much
Of the tendency to homicide 70 the
existence OF the vendetta, which
has fingered longer in Italy than in
any other country, and to the
practice Of dnelling. IL 10 gener.
ally believed that the enforcement
of laws regarding murderous as
saints is very lax in Italy, but the
latest reports shows that the num-
Der Of condemned persons is quite
as large there as in other countries
where the crime of murder 10 much
rarer. For 5, 900 murder cases, the
average in Italy, the convictions
number, on the average, 2,700 in Q
year, though the penalty in many
cases seem disproportioned to the
gravity of the offence.
The number of murders and
homicides 10 the United States, the
population Of which Is nearly double
of that Of the Italian Kingdom
probably two and half times larger
amounts in year to about 2,500,
and the number of legal executions
to but fraction Of the whole num-
Der Of convictions-about 100 in n
year. Itis o reprosch TO the Ameri-
can system Of dealing with murders,
to which, however, Europeans au-
thorities refer somewhat vaguely,
that the number Of lynchings in
the United States invariably ex-
ceeds each year that number OF le-
gal executions. In other words,
there are more cases every year in
which the population Of the neigh
borhood where O crime has been
committed take the law in their
own hands than there are cases
where the law performs the same
function. A European country
which vies with Italy in the num-
Der of murders committed, many
in the heat Of passion and without
premeditation, is Hungary, but the
criminal statistics of that country
are not carefully collated, and the
Hungarians statistican, while COM
menting on the high rate Of homi-
eide existing in Italy, forbears to
institute any comparison. n.-New

Italy has long had the unenviable
distinction Of q larger average num-
Der Of murders in a year than any
country of Europe, the average in
year being about 1900, Spain
following with 1900, France and
Germany with 700 each, Austria
exclusive of Hungary with 500,
Great Britain with $50. En- Great
Britain the average number Of mur-
ders is least in Scotland, where this
is very rare. An italian professor
named Garafalo has recently de-
livered an address in Rome on the
subject Of murderous propensities of
individuals in various nations. and
Europeans medical men are discuss
ing his statements that the number
OF killings in Italy really amount
to 1000 a year, which is equivalent
to homicide in that country every
two hours. There are, however,
some facts to be taken into consider
alton regarding this showing which
mitigates it to some extent. MANY
of the violent deaths brought about
IN Italy are not properly murders,
but killings either in self-defense
or under provocation amounting,
in law, to self-defense. The Ital-
ians. especially those in the ex-
treme southern end of the penin-
sula aud in the adjacent island of
Sicily. are a passionate race, and
insults which in other countries or
in other parts of Italy would form
ihe basis of civil actions for dam
ages are settled in more summary
wats.

Go WELL DREssED.-The New

old merchant turned to your corre-
spondent and said Il remember the
time when o mans credit would

came to his Office in carriage. In
those days one was looked upon
with suspicion if he carried cane,
unless he was actually lame. A
man would have had difficulty in

he wore o mustache, as it was con-
sidered the appendage of sport.

young man, l began to cultivate
the growth of hair on my upper lip,
my employer gave me friendly
warning. Yet one could then 60

properly, though elegantly attired.
Now q man would be hooted at in
the streets if he should wear his
evening dress in the daytime. But
times have changed greatly, or
rather fashion has. for human ma
ture is the same. After q long
business career my deliberate judg-
ment is that it pays to wear good

After | had aone my errand the

my country-made clothes, said to
me i ought to order q new suit. l
explained to him my financial con-
dition, when he said to me kindly,
my boy, whatever it might cost,
it would be the best business in
vestment you could make. With
fashiopably cut garments on, your
own confidence and self-esteem will
be enhanced, and other people will
think better Of you,' and he gener-
ously offered to make me suit and
let me pay for it whenever could
or not all. He was right. 1t was
as good an investment as I could
have made, for believe the habit
it gave me of always wearing good
clothes helped me immensely in my

There was no sun-only heavy
yellow light, that from somewhere,

to look, before and around him.
Gold. Nothing but gold.
And then his limbs stiffened-

death, for that he could have well
coined.
His body contracted and he fell
at full length on the ground. He,

Pedro tried to take it from the
floor, and, as he bent down, his
hands touched the head Of the dead,
and were covered with blood.
How the old man bled |! Red and
squirting the blood came from the
CHASTITY hole in the head; and red
and thick it rolled toward the gold
stone.
Pedro watched it with O tense
fascination, which increased to hor-

growing like q small river, set to-

lay, that the blood turned yellow.
And then it became yellow even as
il came fresh from the wound Of the
old man. 1t sprang out in great
yellow courses. Il lesped, and
sputtered, and came on as though
il would never end.
Pedro crouched weakly against
the side OF the drift. He would
have pushed himself into the earth,
il he could, to escape that oncom
ing stream of yellow which threat
ened to lap itself against his feet.
'1t is the curse of gold," he
thought, and, starting up, he ran
toward the end Of the incline like O
man who was hunted. At the sta
tion he rang for the cage and went
up into the dark shaft-house.
Once on top, he staggered out
into the air.
He looked down-the earth was
yellow. Aboye-the sky, stretch
ing its long dome from mountain
