grass growing along the side Of the
road. Then he turned half circle, he
crossed the road and stopped :at q
point directly in front Of where the
police had found pair of bloody cuffs
on the prairie, few feet from the
road. At this point the driver turned
the horse about and he crossed
Seventy-fourth street and stopped at a
point where Minnie Mitchel's shoes
had been picked up. From this point
the horse leisurely took his way south,
until few feet of Seventy fifth street.
where he turned abruptly and retraced
his steps, stopping about twenty feet
north Of Seventy-fourth street about
forty-6ve feet north of where the body
was found. A second test was made
by Lieutenant Backus, and upon this
occasion the horse stopped directly In
front of the spot where the body was
found
While this is novel test it is not q
new one. It will be remembered that
after the Catherine Cling murder was
committed Mayor Eustis and the police
drove over the same route traversed by
Harry Hayward and Blixt when they
lured their victim to the lonely spot
where the crime occurred.
It demonstrates, however, that the
horse is very knowing animal and
at times can give the police officials
pointers on detective. work.

THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.

This is from the st. James Journal e:
We haven't heard as much of roar
over the Knox row as we did when
Tillman and McLaurin mixed up in
the senate; or when Bailey shook the
little senator from Indiana. These
outbreaks we're characterized as
brutal and outrageous by the papers
which pat the attorney general of the
United States on the back for mixing
up in a drunken brawl. Is it possi BILE
that a free-for all fight is only dis
graceful when it takes place within
the senate chamber, or is it only
when the scrappers are all Democratsa
Of course the papers will pat Mr..
Knox on the back. He succeeded in
cutting a brace Of brawlers who had
insulted his wife and daughter and If
he had not defended those so near and
dear to him he should have been char
acterized as coward. There is vast
difference between men fighting just
because they are of a brutal nature
and one who Furnishes low down pup
for an offered insult to ladies under his
protection. The editor of The Journal
knows this to be so and should be fair
enough to acknowledge it.

BILE. At Madison, s. D., Local Editor
Neill of The Leader was told that a
birth HAD occurred in certain family
in that town and the reporter, anxious
to show to the world that Madison
was keeping pace with the balance of
the world in the matter of population,
and also wishing to jolly the supposed
happy father, made mention of the
alleged birth, no debut ending his
item with the old. time phrase /:
"Mother and baby doing we'll and
papa is expected to survive" 1t ap-
pears that no baby had arrived to
bless the household and the head of
the family and his brother punished

L0vE---HAPPINESS AND MISERY.

There is .tinge Of sadness con-
nected with the death Of Charles
Haynes, returned soldier from the
Philippine islands. The young man
came back to America expecting to
marry a sweetheart he had left in Old
Kentucky, she having promised to
wait for him whih he went to fight
the battles for his country. He faced
shot and shell, suffered all the woes
that befal the lot of soldier, but he
did not complain. He was constantly
buoyed up with the love Of the girl
he had left behind. When the worst Of
the hostilities had ceased his company
was ordered back to this country and
1t was with joyous heart that he set
out on the return trip. Arriving at
Fort Smelling he was made aware of
the girls treachery through a news
paper clipping. This bit of paper told
the story of his sweetheart's wedding
to another. The blow was too much
and he ended his life. After all, his
Is not the only life that has been
snuffed cut from the same cause.
Young men whose hearts have been
broken in like manner have sought
relief from sorrow and anguish in
death. And SO long as the world
continues to revolve the story will be
repeated.
Love is curious thing. 1t is
mixture of happiness and misery.
Many heart has been tortured by the
caprice of a maid who bestows her
love upon a man and then takes it
back to lavish it upon another. But
there is an old saying that sit is bet
ter to have loved and lost rather than
not to have loved at all. 4"
There are many men, however, who,
do not bestow love upon any woman
because of the fear that it will all end
in dream, hope will be crushed and
heart will lie bleeding beneath the
feet of fair one who had proven her
self cruel coquet.

HORSE AS SLEuIH

Resorting to the methods EMPLOYED

police pressed into service horse in
order to partially unravel a mystery.
The detectives of the Windy City are
graphing with the case of Bartholin,
who is believed to have murdered his
mother and girl named Minnie
Mitchell. An inspector took the horse
and the laundry wagon which, it is
thought, may have been used to con-
vey the body of Minnie Mitchell to
the spot where it was found, and went
over the same ground again. The
officers who were unaware of the To-
cality where the body was found
were put in charge of the wagon. At
ter proceeding leisurely to Sixty
eighth and State streets, the horse was
turned into State street and given his
head. Slowly he ambled along to
within $50 feet of the spot where Min
ME Mitchell's body was found. There
he stopped and nibbled a bunch of

In West Superior Judge Hally Of the
municipal court imposed a strenuous,
sentence upon a couple of youthful
offenders who had been found guilty
of theft. He told the police to apply
twenty lashes across their backs.
These boys, thirteen years of age,
have been thieving..for some months
and the police were much mystifed
as to who were the guilty ones. Fin
ally the lads were detected burglar
izing a house. Sons Of well-to-do and
prominent parents the boys were lack
ing in moral responsibility. 1t may
have been case of "sparing the rod
and spelling the children" with the
parents. The judge took the stand
that the rod should be spoiled in the
hope that such an extreme measure
would cause the young offenders to
mend their ways.

Robert B. Armstrong, the private
secretary to Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw, must be man accustomed to
handling details besides being a man
of great executive ability. He has
removed much of the red tape in the
treasury department and business now
moves with celebrity. There is al
together too much red tape in the
various departments and it should be
eliminated all along the line. Several
years ago the head of one of the de-
partments was heard to remark that it
is no trouble to keep up with the
work. All that is necessary to do is
to throw the corn cob pipes out of the
window and get down to business.
