Uncle Anson has picked up more ball

ASHAMED OF HER CHILD.
A Heartless Mother Drowned Her Son
Because He Was Ugly.


Because He Was Ugly.
Idella Powell Banks, widow Of a
we'll to do cotton planter, was commit
ted to Brooks county (Ga. Jail recently,
charged with the murder of Albert p.
Banks, her 4-year-old son. She has con-
fessed the crime and said to q minister
who called upon her that she wanted
to be hanged as soon as possible. Ac-
cording to her statement, the boy was
30 ugly in appearance and so lacking
in intelligence that she was ashamed
to have him grow to manhood. She had
been visiting relatives in Lowndes
county, and on the train returning she
made up her mind to murder the little
fellow, who sat in the seat facing her
playing with the conductors punch.
On her way to her residence she passed
q pond and threw the boy into it. She
says he seemed to know what her in
tentions were and held on to her dress
30 strongly that she was afraid the
struggle would attract somebody. After
he was in the water she went to her
home and went about her business as
usual until the body was found and
she was called before the coroner's Jury.
She Is possessed Of considerable prop.
erty and has no other children. She
originally came from the north. The
murdered boy was not bodily deformed
in any way, but his face was disfgured
from birth. Enquirer.

A CLEVER DETECTIVE.

A Library Card Gave the Clew to Do
faulter's Whereabouts.
A manager of a branch Office of ono
of the big packing houses in Chicago
was found to be short in his accounts,
and the day this fact was discovered he
disappeared, says the Detroit Journal.
His bond was furnished by the Baltimore
company, and Mr.. Macbeth was sent
to Chicago to take charge Of his books
and. if possible. secure big arrest: Pink
erton's entire {oroe was put to work ON
the case, and the city was searched for
two days without revealing any trace Of
the whereabouts Of the missing man.
Mr.. Macbeth and Billy. .pinkerton went
to the absent managers Office to look
over his books and personal effects in
hopes Of finding clew. They ransacked
private desk without finding anything
to which they attached any Importance,
and Pinkerton had turned to leave the
room, when Macbeth spied in one cor
ner Of the desk public library card is
sued in the name of the man for whom
they were looking. He observed by the
entries on the card that several books
had been taken from the library within
q period of month and that the date
of the return Of one book corresponded
with the date Of the issuing of another.
He put this card in his pocket and left
the Office in company with the detect
i've. After they were in the street the
detective said:
"Why did you take that library card?"
II have an idea," Macbeth answered,
"and ! want to 60 at once to the public
library"
An examination of the card showed
that the missing man had procured IA
different books, and comparison of the
numbers on the cards with the titles of
the books at the library revealed the
subjects he had been studying. The first
book taken was entitled IA Trip to
Nicaragua, the second IA History Of
Nicaragua, and nearly all the others
related to Central America.
"He has gone to Central America, I"
said Pinkerton.
''That's right" Macbeth answered.
"and it's not yet too late to catch him
at New Orleans.
kilograms were sent to the Crescent
City giving full descriptions Of the
man, and the next day he was arrested
in the Office of steamship company
while waiting for his turn at the ticket
window. He would have sailed a few
hours later for Central America.

BARRIERS Ought to Wash Their Hands and

The proposition to make more careful

upon by several earnest men before Helm.

No writer has, however. seemed to 60 &c

at home with their own implements. The
author gives a number of other rules
which are In themselves and, so far as
they GO, good-if BARRIERS could be pre-
vailed upon to follow them-but he does

There are many things besides the 20
called harber's itch which may be trans
mitted In uncleanly shaving and hair
dressing, and Of which the public knows
little or nothing. Favus is decidedly on
the increase In this country, and the num-
ber of children turned away from the oit-
les schools for this cause since the inspec-
ti0n innovation went into effect would
greatly surprise those who think OF favus
as a European or foreign affection.

Poisonous Buttercups,
