CHESTER. ILL.,, Nov. 25.-Ellis Glenn.
known in Hillsboro. ILL.,, an handsome
young man. and engaged to marry Miss
Ella Dukes. Of Butler. little town near
Hillsboro. was brought to Chester pris-
on today to serve a term for forgery.
and upon examination proved to be q
woman.
Glenn" who came from the East
was arrested and pleaded guilty at
Hillsboro on charge of forgery. It
was alleged that she endeavored to OBJ
tain money on a forged note. She was
sentenced to serve an indefinite period
on parole at the Southern Illinois peni-
tentfary at Chester This is an institu-
ton for male prisoners only. Fifteen
minutes after Glenn's arrival here the
prison keepers were surprised as they
had not been in long while.
Glenn" was regularly turned over to
Deputy Warden Dowell, who receipted
for her. The prisoner was ordered, as
is customary in such cases, to have her
hair clipped. That operation thus per-
formed she was assigned to a bath room
to undergo a good washing, as is also
customary, before being allowed to
commingle with the other prisoners.
The sex Of the prisoner was discover
ed before the immersion. Glenn" was
hucflod into clofhoc o1o;, x.,;<ho,,+ .,xx
delay and sent of to the hospital, where
an examination by surgeons proved con-
clusively that the new arrival was not
man. as had been supposed, and as she
had led everybody to believe, but real,
live woman.
AS there is no ward for women at
Chester, Glenn" was placed in charge
of Sheriff Cassidy and sent back to
Hillsboro.
Dowell questioned her closely, and
the story she tells is that she came here
from Ohio and that she has been in Tex
as. The offense she was sent to prison
for, she says, was committed by twin
brother from whom she could not be
distinguished when in mems attire; that
she had met him in Paducah, changing
clothes with him in order that he might
escape; that she resembled him so
strongly that she deceived acquaint-
ances and even deceived the girl he was
to marry. The deputy regarded the
whole yarn as fish story, and is of the
opinion that the sending out of her pho
tographs will lead to the discovery of
dangerous crook, wanted in more places
than one.
The woman stood the ordeal of dis
covery and examination cOolly. She
did not appear disconnected by the
questioning of the deputy warden nor
gaze of the throng of officers surround
ing her.

Plea for the Oaail.
There's pretty brown bird roaming
over the farm
He always does good and never does
harm;
He captures the chinch- bugs that would
eat up our wheat.
And this is one way he gets something
And If he should happen to take a few
grains,
Who cares? He has paid for 1t all by
his pains
In watching that wheat field when no
one was nigh:
He's been faithful and trae both wet
and drys
He always is, happy at morning or night
AS he calls to his mate his merry "Bo
White"
How cunning he looks when you're rid
ing along
Through the cool. shady lane. Though
he sings not q song
The farm would seem lonely without
this small bird
Whose clear, cheerful whistle SO often
Is heard.
Oh, hunter. have mercy. when gun
ming" you go.
On this brown feathered friend that the
farmer loves so.
You'll find something to shoot on the
hill, in the vale;
Have game, II you must, but please
don't kill the quail.

The Alum Ba king Powders.

The recent discussion in the papers of
the effect upon the human system of
food made with alum baking powders
and the opinions that have been pub
lished from noted scientists to the effect
that such powders render the food un-
wholesome, have caused numerous in
quiries for the names of the various
alum powders.
In this and many other states of such
importance do the food authorities
deem the matter that the names of
alum powders are officially made public,
and in two states at least the laws pro-
vide that there shall be printed upon
the labels of all packages of this class
Of powders the statement that they con-
tain alum In Missouri law has been
passed forbidding the sale of alum
baking powders altogether.
Information as to the list here given
has been obtained from the official re-
port of the Massachusetts state board of
health, from the agricultural depart
ment chemist at Washington, and from
other equally reliable authority:

Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., New York.
In addition to these 1t is learned that
many grocers are selling what they call
their own private or special brands.
These powders are put up for the grocer
and his name put upon the labels by
manufacturers of alum powders in New
York and elsewhere. The manufacture
ers. it Is said, find their efforts to mar
ket their goods in this way greatly aid
ed by the ambition of the grocer to sell
q powder with his own name upon the
label, especially If he can make an alb
normal profit upon it. Many grocers.
doubtless, do not know that the powders
they are thus pushing contain alum.
aud it would be actually contraband in
many sections If sold without disguise.
1t is quite impossible to give the
names of all the alum baking powders
in the market. They are constantly ap-
pearing in all sorts of disguises, under
all kinds of cognomens. and at all kinds
of prices, even as low as five and ten
cents a pound. They can be recognized.
however, by the housekeeper who will
bear in mind that all baking powders
sold at Is cents or less per pound are
liable to contain alum, as pure cream OF
tartar powders cannot be produced at
anything like that price.

The Boer Captain to His Men.
Ye men whose sires long ago
Met Alva face to face,
Now bear yourselves as nobly
Against the English race.
Call, call to mind your fathers,
What deeds of high renown
Were wrought by men heroic,
At siege of Leyden town.
And heed We well the story
How tyrants wrath to 'scape
Our fathers left their homeland
And sailed upon the Cape.
And builded there city,
Desiring that it should be
A refuge and shelter
For friends beyond the sea.
And how, a little after
Ye know the story we'll
The robber English seized it
And there this day they dwell
Thrice did they trek" before them,
Three times and nothing less
They left their homes behind them
To seek the wilderness.
Ye know they sought country
No Englishman could claim.
But whereso'er they wandered
Like wolves, the English came.
And now this strip of desert
Wherein our focks we feed.
Is soon to be devoured
BY this same British greed.
Fen while we stand here waiting
Vain words to multiply,
Environed round our borders,
The English -legions lie.
Is there a man among you
Who would not choose to be
Cut down in midst of battle
Still fighting to be free?
Than live like branded cattle,
Now driven. now corralled.
A little loosed for freedom
But still in bondage held?
Then take up your rifles.
And fight while We have breath
To keep what God hath given.
Or lose 1t all In death.

Children's Love = Special Compliment.
The love of children won BY elders
who are neither parents nor close rela-
tiOns, is special compliment, because
they cannot compete with children In
that physical beauty which has so great
an attraction for other children. This
Is the direct and spontaneous motive
which induces love, almost at first sight,
between young children themselves
Yet, except in the case of young and
lovely women, we can hardly believe
that children see much beauty in their
female elders or In men at all. The
point Of view from which they see us is
against this supposition. Those who
are blessed with good looks are, too
tall, in comparison with them, even to
be seen to advantage. To be looking up
at giants, seeing their features fore
shortened from below, the least be,com-
ing of all points for the human face,
cannot give them a pleasing impress
sion
rem to the best advantage as we look
down on their faces foreshortened from
above. That is why the beauty of pret-
ty children always appears irresistible
when they are in bed, and their faces
seen as they lie on their pillows, or even
in sleep. The astonishing beauty of
some children at such times passes that
of any other human creature; 1t is a
faith. freely confessed by those who
know 1t, and one to which those who do
not, succumb with the frankest and
most ungrudging candor. But the ef-
feet of this childish beauty. great as 1t
Is on us, is magical when seen by one
young child in another. When both
children are beautiful there is perfect
little to detract from it-and the very
few little girls of from three to six or
seven have many failings-strikes them
as denoting almost perfection. The
physical fact that there Is no disparity
in size, that they can look level into
each others faces, and see each in the
other those gifts Of beauty which they
are accustomed to hear their elders so
frankly praise. combined with those
qualities of daintiness and refinement
for which they themselves have no
name, but which they value at their
true worth. makes an irresistible appeal
to their love.

Some Old-FnshiOned Pies.

The pumpkin pie belongs to Thanks
giving, as the mince pie does to Christ
mas. This is truly an American pro-
duct, and was probably first made by
a New England housewife. For sue
cessful pie, the variety OF pumpkin
must be carefully chosen and cultivated,
and the fruit resulting should be of
medium size, dark orange in color, and
of solid substance. Equal care must
be taken in cooking the pumpkin. Skin
and seeds having been removed, it
should be cut in small pieces. put in
smooth kettle, granite-ware preferred,
with just enough water to prevent all
