 BLOOD AND IRON.

You could not live an hour without iron in your blood.
 You could not get the benefit of one breath of air without this same iron.
 The blood runs the circuit of the body every three minutes. and when It reaches the lungs each atom of iron takes two atoms of oxygen back with 1t to keep the fires of life going. This oxygen de- stroys waste matter and helps to restore your wasted tissues.
 If your blood lacks iron you 'ack that much of life; you fail that much 60 keep up the needed repair of your bodies-that is, you get run down and sick. This ac- counts for the life-giving properties or pr. Harter's Iron Tonic. It supplies iron' and to do that is to restore the tull bodybuilding power to the blood This iron has a peculiar nfe-quickening func- ton: vitality goes down whenever any proportion of the iron is lacking. NiBor and strength return just as surely when this element Is restored. =

BAD BOYS BREAK LAW
YOUTHFUL CULPRITS A PROB
 LEM FOR POLICE.
Four Gamins With Fearful Eyes Locked Up Last Night-Author- ities Say Slungshots end Air
 guns Are Unlawful.

What to do with the small bad boy Is question confronting the Montgom- cry police department and the citizens generally. Each day brings to light some new depreciation committed by youngsters between the ages of [ and l5 years, and the police are aroused.
 Four white boys, whose ages range from 6 to 15, were arrested by Police Officers Taylor and Griffin at S:S0 o'clock last night. charged with dis orderly conduct. Most of these boys are habitually about the streets. The police say that last night they daubed the front door of a cigar store on Dex- ter Avenue with mortar. The young sters apparently were having a good time running down the street to new building in course of erection, for mor- tar and bringing it back and throwing it on the front door of the store. The police also claim that the boys put chewing gum in the key hole and play ed various other pranks to annoy the proprietor.
 The lads are so young that the desk sergeant appeared to be undecided whether to hold them or not. but the youngsters have given so much trouble to the proprietor of this place that the miscreantS were arrested. TWO or them got away, but the police arrested Willie Winn, aged 15; B. l.. Richard son, aged 10; Person Vim. aged Il, and John Duff, aged 6. The police say that one of the boys was caught climbing in the rear window of store on Com merce Street few nights ago.
 The smaller boys did not seem to realize the gravity of the charge. as they admitted that they threw mud on the front door of the store ana thought it a great joke. When the desk sergeant told the turnkey to lock them up, they broke down and crled' They pleaded tearfully with the ser geant not to lock them up and prom ised not to be bad boys any more. But the lads were put in cell until their parents were notified, and they went to police headquarter and promised 10 have the boys in court this afternoon.
 Yesterday a small negro boy was con victed in the City Court of attempting to poison an aged white couple, and five other negro boys, aged from to 15 years. were charged with breaking into a store and robbing the proprie- for of some clothing. Three of them were convicted for this offense.
 The Superintendent of the City Schools has complained to the police that some one had entered the capitol Hill School and committed oepreua- tions. He is of the opinion that it was inc work of mischievous small boys.
 Citizens are also complaining or the small boys carrying slung shots and air guns and shooting and breaking window panes in different residences throughout the city. It is violation of the City Code to carry sluns shot' and the police say that whenever youth Is found with one on his person he is arrested.

Education in Farming,


Horace Greeley said that he left the
farm because there were no books or
papers treating on the laws on which
the science of agriculture was based,
or something to about that effect, We
nave no doubt that he often thought
he would have stayed on the farm II
he could have had some of the knowl-
edge about farming that used to have a
place in the Tribune in after years, but
we are not so sure about 1t. Even in
those days there was more theoretical
teaching of farming than of any prac-
t1cal knowledge that would reduce ag-
riculture to an exact science, and we
think If he had been on the farm and
tried some Of the methods advocated
In the Tribune his language might
have been as emphatic as any that he
used in political campaigns. But since
that date agricultural colleges and ex-
pertinent stations have done much to
educate the farmers and the farmers
sons, theories have been practically
tested. methods have been so well
studied that, under certain conditions,
the results are almost as certain as
mathematical demonstrations, ma
chimes have been invented to do much
OF the hard labor, and plants or the
farm animals can be fed as scientifical-
ly as the machinery, and is sure to pro-
duce certain effect from certain expen-

The Beefsteak Was Good.

1t may be question whether Thack-
cray cared very much for the pleasures
of the table, but at least he wrote as if
he did. Take the following reminis-
cence from one of his essays, and judge
whether it could have been more low
ingly composed if the subject had been
a romantic one, and not merely-a beef
steak. He says:
After the soup we had what 1 do not
hesitate to call the very best beefsteak
1 ever ate in my life. By the shade of
Heliogabalus! AS write about it now,
a week after have eaten it, the old
rich, sweet, piquant, juicy taste comes
smacking on my lips again; and 1 feel
something Of the exquisite sensation !
then had. l am shamed of the delight
which the eating of that piece of meat
caused me.
G. and had quareleld about the
soup; but when we began on the steak
we looked at, each other and loved each
other. We did not speak; our hearts
were too full for that. But we took q
bit, laid down our forks, looked at each
other and understood each other. There
were no two individuals on this wide
earth, no two lovers billing in the
shade, no mother clasping her baby te
her heart more supremely happy than
we.
AS you may fancy, we did not leave
single morsel of the steak; but when
it was done we put bits of bread into
the silvez dish, and wistfu1ly sopped ur
the gravy. l suppose 1 shall never in
this world taste anything so good
again.

Lessons from sherlock Holmes.

| The methods used by Sherlock
Holmes, the great fctional detective,
have so impressed the authorities of
Massillon, Ohio, that they have pro-
vided the police with books telling of
the greatest achievements of Holmes.
The officers are under instructions to
apply the Holmes principles in all cases
possible.
Accordingly, when it was reported
that trunk had been broken open and
$50 stolen at John Stevenson's board
ing house the other day, Officer Seaman
proceeded to investigate along Holmes
line.
He found that the brass hasps secur-
ing the trunk lid had been severed with
sharp instrument. None was in the
vicinity. The landlord was asked if
he had an ak. He produced one from a
coalhouse, where he said he always
kept it.
There were small particles of brass
on the blade and it just fitted the cut
in the trunk. The officers argued that
If a robber had committed the crime
he would not have lugged away an ak.
Therefore they decided it must have
been the landlord. When they arrest
ed him he was so amazed at their line
of reasoning that he admitted his guilt.
He is now in jail.-Pittsburg Post.
