And grief throws its gloom DER the morrow
And darkens the face OF the day.

Upon a silent grave,
Where sleepeth without dreaming
The one we could not save.

Within her narrow bed;
With folded hands upon her breast
She sleeps with the silent dead.

coWARDLY JURYMEN.
Judge E. j. Broaddus Dwells ON the SentI-
ment That Let's Criminals Escape.

Judge E. j. Broaddus Dwells on the Senti-
ment That Let's Criminals Escape.
LIBERTY, Mo-, Dec. 1l.-Judge Il. j.
Broaddus has referred to the moral
cowardice of petit jurymen" a few
times recently, but the strongest Ian.
guage he has used on the subject was
at Kingston, when he said:
1t is sympathy and moral cowardice on the
part OF jurors that intervenes and clears guilty
men, The defendants attorney tells the jury
that It is better that 90 guilty men escape than
one innocent man be unJustly punished. There
are too many Of the 90 guilty ones escape, The
reasonable doubt is used too much as q
pretext to clear those guilty of crime Every
term Of court there are guilty men turned
loose to prey upon society because OF the moral
cowardice Of jurors 1t is no trouble TO secure
an indictment, but the difficulty lies in secur-
ing verdict Of guilty Our mOdernized courts
have become refugees for criminals This was
not so under the early common law courts OF
this country and Of Great Britain. l make
these suggestions for your benefit, 1t is the
first time in the history Of the state OF Missouri
that Judge on the bench has done So but be-
lieve my remarks are proper and opportune
for y occasion, the times and the conditions.

YOU CAN'T STOP ,EM.

News comes from Attica, Ind, Of the do.
struction, by fire, of the big laboratory and
office building of the Sterling Remedy Com
pany, makers Of Casearets Candy CathaPtiO
and No-To-Bac, the original guaranteed TO-
bacco habit cure. The FIRE broke out in one
of the packing rooms on the third floor dur
ing the noon hour, and had made consider
able Roadway before IL was discovered.
AS soon as II became apparent that the
fire department would have difficulty in
combating the flames, the work Of saving
the thousands of valuable documents, con-
tracts, files, millions of booklets and tons
of advertising matter was begun with the
utmost energy. The Sterling Remedy Com
pany is the principal industry of the beauti-
full little city of Attica, employing several
hundred people, besides being affiliated with
the Indiana Mineral Springs, the famous
Magno.Mud Cure, Hundreds of men, won.
en- and children We'd with each other in car
rying the contents of the burning building
TO places of safety.
Meanwhile the proverbal energy and
and presence.ofmind of General Manager
Kramer, of the Sterling Remedy Company,
was displayed. He quietly walked away,
and secured big show room near by, and
had all the Office furniture, charred and d.
lapdated as il was, taken there. Before the
boxes had ceased burning, in which the fire
originated, orders were being dictated in
the make-shift office for new supplies, and
car loads of material were ordered by wire
while the streams were still playing on the
ruins. Several shipments were made the
same evening from goods saved, and on FRI
day morning, all departments were at work
in various rooms about town, while gang
Of men were cleaning away the wreCkaga
preliminary to rebuilding.

MANY RELlCTs LIVING.
Widows of 1919 Soldiers Cling to Life W
Great TenaCity,

Widows of 1919 Soldiers Cling to Life with
Great Tenacity.
CHICAGO, Dec, 10-.There are Ill
widows of the war of 1912 drawing
pensions of IS per month from the
government pension agency in Chi
cago, and there are II other agencies
in the country. Although there are
only ID survivors of this war now liv-
ing, there are 32s7 widows of men
who fought in 1872 drawing IS per
month from the government. AS this
war closed SO years ago, it is argued
that these widows must have been
very young and their husbands ex-
tremely aged at the time of the mar
riages. These figures were obtained
yesterday from Gen. w. B. Anderson,
United States pension agent for the
Chicago district, and were used to
illustrate the generals strong words
favoring the passage of the bill now
in congress to exclude from the PEN
sion rolls widows who may have mar
ried old soldiers in their dotage for
the purpose of drawing the veterans
pensions after their death.

and experience" Mr.. Washington
came to this city the other day to have
an interview with the president, but
was not able to do so, owing to
the latter's absence in Canton, He
would have advised the president
against the appointment of colored
men to Office in the south. He says
that it stimulates an ambition among
their friends and the members of the
race generally to seek living by pol
itics instead of by the trades and other
industries, and has demoralizing in
fluence, At the same time it provokes
hostilities among the whites and keeps
alive race prejudices. The only career
Mr. Washington sees for his race is in
industrial and agricultural education.

Every person, male or female, shrinks
from badness 1t adds TO the appearance
OF age and is serious discomfort. The
cases are rare when the falling out Of the
hair may not be stopped, and new and
healthy growth of the hair promoted. The
hair grows in the scalp like plant In the
soil. If plant Aourishes, II must have
constant attention; II must be watere!dl
where 1t Is rooted. It's so with the hair.
Neglect Is usually the beginning Of bald
ness. Dandruf Is allowed to thicken on
the scalp. The hair begins to loosen. The
scalp loses its vitality. The hair, insult
fciently nourished. begins to fade and to
fall. The instant need in such a case Is
some practical preparation which, sup
plying the needed nourishment to the
scalp. will feed the hair, give It strength
and so produce a strong and healthy
growth. All this Is done by DR.. Ayers
Hair vigor, the most practical and valua-
BILE preparation for the hair that can be
obtained. II tones up the scalp, does away
with dandruh, stops the hair from falling,
restores the original color to gray or faded
