their patriotic son. Arriving at the
depot. the mother, with tears streaming
down her face, made frantic inquiries
as to the whereabouts of her would-be
soldier lad, and eventually was di-
rected to the ArmOry.
AS she entered the door of the re-
cruiting office her son had just dipped
his pen into the inkStand preparatory
to signing the agreement that would
make him a member of Uncle Sam $
army.
The mother fairly flew across the
room, and with the cry, Frank!
Frank! don't sign!" She dashed the
pen from his hand.
Then followed a scene Of fearful en-
treaties that resulted in the young man
being persuaded to bottle up his pa
triotic fervor and return to private life
in the rock bound hills.

HARD OUTLOOK FOR A BOY
YOUNG JOE wINROW'S SEN
TENCE FOR LIFE.
He Declared That One of the Con-
victcd Men il Entirely
Innocent.

Deputy Sheriff Appel Of San Fran
cisco last night lodged In the county
Jail, en- route to the Folsom Prison, d
nineteen-year-old youth named Joe
Winrow, whom Judge Wallace yester-
day sentenced to life imprisonment Tor
his completely in a recent ROBBERY IN
that city The other day Joseph Their
on and George Barker We're sent up LOT
life for the same crime.
Young Winrow pleaded guilty, and
when he stood up to receive his SEN
tence he told Judge Wallace that Bar
ker was entirely innocent of compile
ity in the robbery, but that the guilty
third person was a man named Suiil-
van, then in the House of Correction
for some minor offense. Judge Wallace
replied that Winrow had added perjury
to his other crime when he declared
Barker to be innocent.
Young Winrow was seen by a Rec
ord Union" reporter last night on his
arrival in this city. He is a youth
who has none of the manners or ap-
pearance of a vicious person, and de-
clared that he had never before been
charged with anything but vagrancy
He had fallen in with Theron only four
days before the robbery, and on the
night the crime was committed he ac-
cidendally met Theron and sullivan.
They treated him several times, and at
a late hour Theron proposed that they
hold up the grocery store of Edward
Libscher at Mason and Pacific streets.
Winrow says he was induced to go
along, but had no actual hand in the
robbery, and that Libscher SO testified.
He was with the raiding party, how
ever, and admitted that in law he was
guilty. Barker, he declares, was in
bed at the time and knew nothing of
the hold-up until Sullivan went to his
room and told him of it. But the Off
GERS, he says, had got Libscher to tes-
tify that he was the third man, and
Barker could not stem the tide. Sui
livan was taken into court, says Win
row, but he had shaved off his mus
tache, and, of course, LiebScher could
not identify him.
Winrow says he is a grandson of Joe
Winrow, the old-tiTne pedestrian cham
pion, who enjoyed a world wide reputa-
tion. His parents live in San Fran
cisco, and he has the address of boy
who had been fairly well reared. He
seems to be very much hurt at Judge
Wallace's accusation of perjury, for he
says he told the truth when he de-
clared that Barker was not with them
the night Of the robbery. He says he
intends to conduct himself in the best
possible manner at Folsom, in the hope
that he may have his sentence reduced,
or be paroled

Strange Spots on the sun.

Since the beginning of this year groups
Of spots unusual and unexpected have
been observed on the surface of the sun
by astronomers in different sections
These reported at the National Observa-
tory are in appearance and movement en-
tirely out of the usual train, and consti-
tute what is termed by astronomers a
secondary maximum" They may con-
tinue indefinitely throughout the year or
longer, so say the scientists, but they do
not as 1t has been said, indicate unusual
weather disturbances. But there are other
indications not indeed upon the surface
of the sun, but upon the human counte-
nance, that show that the bowels and
liver need thorough reform through the
benign agency of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. These are yellowness of the skin
and whites of the eyes, furred tongue and
nausea, all Indicative of constipation and

cacy of this benignant family medicine
also extends to malaria, rheumatism, kid
ney trouble, nervousness and sick head
