sense, is a very unpopular word.
And there is good rea son for it.
But there is a wonderful difference
between the interests that I am
now referring to, and the interest
most people have in mind. That
interest is the power which drives
business men to the wall, and
places heavy burdens, grievous to
be borne, upon the shoulders Of |
the country. Few men of mod
ern advancement have been able
to escape this fashionabl disease,

But 1t IS a different kind Of in

which viii benefit you the most.

THOMPSON WAS GUILTY
Confessed That He Mutilated Horse.
Now in Jail

Evidently frightened by the array Of
new evidence against him, Oliver Thomp-
son. the boy charged by H. Fisher. a junk
peddler, with mai.c.ously mut.lating his
horse, yesterday before Judge Owens
withdrew his plea Of not guilty and made
a clean breast Of the affair. He seemed to
he greatly affected by his position and
asked that he be dealt with as lightly as
possible. o..
The court then proceeded to give him a
lecture on hts apparent depravity. telling
him that boy who would cut a dumb ami
NAL would wind up his career in the peni-
tent.ary II he did not mend his ways. He
was then given suspended sentence of
$50 fine or fifty days IN the city jail, with
the understanding that If he was ever
brought befor him again abe court
would order him to serve the full SEN
tence.
Shortly after Thompson, accompanied by
