and loss of memory, and becomes ut
terly helpless in the hands of men who
think it fun to make him do some fool
ish thing. Men who would thus i'll use
a poor unfortunate old soldier are not
worthy to be classed as men and if de-
tected in abusing this man will be
prosecuted to the full extent of the
law. All persons are hereby warned
against giving said Heckinger any in
toNicating liquor, or money, as his
every necessary want is supplied at
the Home. The commandant trusts
that hereafter no man or boy will dis
grace his presumed dignity by in any
manner interfering with said Heckin-
ger other than asking him to return to
the Home.

like flesh of tho corpse is totally free
from odor or putrefaction. Some say
the hair on a body will grow after

wanted to sensationalize his readers to
sell his books, for there lies Mr. Pemce's
