Jesse James and his gang once stopped at the house of a poor widow and or dered dinner, while on a plundering tour through this part of the state. After the widow had hustled around and gotten up the best dinner possible, she told Jesse she was in great trouble, that the mort gage on her home was due that very day and the man would be there Tn a few hours to turn her out if the money was not forthcoming The great bandit asked how much the amount was, and handed her the 1,800S The man came, received the money and released the mortgage, but had not proceeded far on his trip un- til he was told to "throw up his hands," and Jesse not only took the eighteen hundred but all the money and valuables the man had on his person, and rode away with a contented and happy smile on his face There were some good traits about Jesse after all.-Hopkins Journal

Easter Ladies Home Journal.

The Easter mum Der of Ladies' Home Journal is brimful of hel pful and enter tanning reading. "A Moravian Easter Dawn" by Clifford Howard, tells the story of the simplest and most beautiful EBster service in America, as it is given in the quaint and picturesque town of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Ex-President Harrison's timely article describes 'The Social Life of the President" from the day of his inauguration, and gives inter- esting information as to receptions, din- ners, and other social events of the White House. The popular series of "Great Personal Events" is represented by "When Lafayette Rode Into Philadel- phia," by Jean Frayley Hallowell, grand daughter of one of the few surviving wit nesses of the great Lafayette demon stration which created such a furore nearly three quarters of a century ago. Ira D. Sankey has written for this num- Der a hymn, entitled "The Beautiful Hills," with words by John H Yates. The third illustration in Charles Dana Gibson's series of character sketches of "The People of Dickens" IS ''Tom Pinch and His Sister" Lovers of fiction will enjoy Jerome K Jerome's story, "A Por trait of Lady," and Herbert D. Wards amusing serial, "The Burglar Who Moved Paradise <" A delcate tribute to the power and privilege of sisterhood in the family is given in Rev. A. H. Bradford's article on "The Woman Who Most Influenced Me"
 There seems to be no field of woman's life, duties and interest not noted by the Journal. There are practical views on vital questions by MT. Box; literary talks etc

POUerty Begets Crime.

Once the line is crossed between paul. perism and crime, the downward course is easy, and another criminal is added to the list. The man is blameworthy, of course. Men of character and moral purposes will fight their battle honorably under any stress. But it is necessary to discriminate between the men who are deliberate criminals and the men who adopt crime simply from weak despera- ton and with the hope of returning later to lives of decency Entirely apart from moral considerations, any step which will diminish poverty is to be regarded also step to reduce crime. The human being will not stand the crushing process any better than the traditional worm. It is part of society's duty to see that the crushing is not carried too far.-Chicago Record.

DrinBing Contaminated Water.

Water that is left standing in the kitch. en, or bedroom, and above all, in the sick room, over night is liable to contam ination by the absorption of impurities ahoat Tn the air in such rooms, and to be rendered wholly unfit for use. No mat ter that the water is cold, even to near freezing, it is so much the more liable to absorb and hold in solution the foul gases and organic particles to which it has been exposed. It is dangerous to use such water. Water should not be so left {; but if it should chance so to be, it should be thrown away. Freshly drawn water only should always be used for culinary purposes, as we'll as for drinking, when- ever practicable. Moreover, the faucets over sinks and wash basins, are always more or less liable to contamination, hence the first water that flows on open ing them after they have been left all night without use should always be let flow await is dangerous to drink and unfit for the tea kettle or for cooking water; even boiled disease germs are un- wholesome From the Sanitarium.

Condition ct Randsburg.

A San Francisco miner who recently visited the Randsburg mining section, when interviewed by a San Francisco paper, said there were only 200 men of the 1000 in he dis srict who are employed in the mines. There are plenty of stores' and most of the people down there are prospectors who have squatted on claims and are waiting to get customers at ex- horbitant prices. Some of them get a days work now and then in order to keep body and soul together, while oth- CTS are starved out, leaving room tor new corners, who go through the same ex- perlence.
 There are really six mines in the dis trict, which is twelve miles square. The Big Wedge has produced 32 000$ in three months; the Rand, 40.000$ in four months, and the Val Verde, 20,000$ in three months The others are the Butte, which is plling up ore on it's dump, and the St. Elmo, away out on the plain, that has produced 40,000$ in four months, and one owned by Engiishmen, which is not yet milling. The owners claim that the ore runs 100$ ton, but it costs sos to mine and mill it.-Eve.
