WHAT HE MIGHT EAT.
Suggestions Made in Good Faith Did
Not Improve Matters.

Heard good story on an eastern
minister. He is a vegetarian of the
strictest order, and in the course of
his pastoral career he was invited out
to Sunday dinner by one of the sis
tiers of his flock. whose name for
the nonce shall be Brown. Old man
Brown didn't go to church that morn
ing. His wife told him to expect her
to bring home company to dine, and
he, with the aid of the cook, laid the
foundation for a superb repast. Mrs.
Brown came home, but all the COM
pany she brought was the minister.
They were seated at the table when
this sort of conversation ensued:
"Mr. Jones'" meaning the minister.
what part of the chicken do you like
best?"
Really, Mr.. Brown. don't care
about any chicken"
We'll, here is some extra fine roast
beef; try some of this
Excuse me, Mr.. Brown, I will fore
go the beef"
Il have some tender lamb down
here. how will that suit?"
Il never eat lamb"
well, now, l know you can't refuse
this boiled ham,"
Pardon me, but ham never
touch.''
During all this time Browns father.
an old gray-haired sinner, had been
seated near him, watching operations
and. standing it as long as he could,
squeaked out in a piping voice:
John, maybe the damn fool will
suck raw egg"
The enjoyment of that dinner was
spoiled.

I tounC telegram. two days old, from
Uncle Jachson. summoning me to
Michigan. 1t was brief. but sum-
ciently pointed:
Am taken with pneumonia. Come
at once. Bring the watcu.'
Nov wouldn't that have given you
a chill? There was another communi-
cation as we'll. 1t was from Ethel,

marry. She said she had become ac-
quafnted with my reckless conduct,

Il found Uncle Jackson WIN the
fingers Of death at his throat, but his
mind was clear enough. Have you
brought the watch?' he gasped, stern
ly, as | bent to embrace him.
Il was about to murmur some
maudlin excuses. but he checked me
sharply. His lawyer was present.
They were awaiting me, it seemed.
My uncle called for his will. Under
1T was clause leaving me $50 900 of
his modest fortune. He grimly Li-
rected the cutting down of this neat
sum by the excision of a cipher. The
will then gave me $4,000 instead CT
$4,000. The $4,000 bite thus taken
from my plum was given to Ethel, on
condition that she marry my cousin
Charlie. whom hated with true cous-
inly rancor. Uncle Jackson calmly
signed the altered will; then he
turned his face to the wall ana quietly
departed for better world"
The story-teller ceased, and once
more raised his half-filled glass with
gesture Of invitation.
What in the world do you suppose
became of the old watch, anyway"
demanded Cusack. who possessed an
inquisitive mind.
HUH" answered Thompson. when
l got home again a saloon-keeper
sent me word he had my watch in his

1t away from me one night in fear

she CRIED WHEN SHE PUT HER

This is what Miss Jessie Stephen

of st. Jacobs Oil, the remedy which
cured her:

Miss Stephenson's present condi-
tion is a very great contrast to what
1t was before she used st. Jacobs Oil;
then she was practically helpless, suf-
fered the greatest agony-but now she
is free from pain, and able to do her
work. Surely such evidence as this
is most convincing that ST. Jacobs

murdered. The fact that he was
grandson of Brigham Young makes
these words doubly significant.
The body of Mrs. Annie Pulitzer
was found in the Morris canal, Just
outside of Jersey City. After thirty
hours investigation the police estab-
lished the fact that weight found on
the body belonged to horse and rum
about which was hired from a Ho-
boken livery stable
Further investigation developed the
fact that such rig was hired by q
man named William Hooper Young, a
grandson of Brigham Young, the
famous head of the Mormon church.
A search of his rooms in New York
was had and some of the dead wo-
mans clothing was found there.
Everything was in great confusion
and on every side were the evidences
of fierce struggle.
1t was learned that Young had
shipped trunk to Chicago. The local
police found this and in it discovered
a pawn ticket calling for some of the
woman's jewels and a blood stained
knife. besides some other articles ue-
longing to Young.
The police of Derby, Conn, two
days Iater captured man whom they
believed to be William Hooper Young,
murderer of Mrs. Annie Pulitzer of
New York. The man resisted arrest
and was taken after a desperate fight.
His pockets were filled with red pep
per.
He denied his identity but was posi-
lively identified by his former en-
ployer, Mac Levy; his former partner,
Dixie Amer. and by Gustav Ernest, a
Brooklyn associate.
Confronted by them, he broke down,
admitted his identity, and to Levy
made detailed confession, covering
all the circumstances of the murder,
In his statement Young told a rambl-
ing tale, in which he sought to incul-
pate Charles Simpson Filling of
Bridgeport, Conn. he described ELL
ing as man he had met in Central
Park, and with whom the bond of
friendship was their similarly deprav-
ed habits.
Filing and he. Young said, had to-
gether plotted to .ure Mrs. Pulitzer
to the latter's rooms. According to
his statement Young left Filing and
the woman together and went out to
get bottle of whisky. On his return
home he found the girl dead.
Under their questioning he could
not explain why he took it upon him
self alone to remove the evidence of
his friends crime. He said that when

it with the idea of trying to make the
body fit more easily into the trunk"
Young also admitted he had taken
Mrs. Pulitzer's body to the Hacken-
sack Meadows in the buggy hired
from Evans livery stable and had
there sunk 1t in the Morris Canal
feeder with the weight. He explained
that when he realized that his act
would bring disgrace upon his family
II discovered he determined to do all
in his power to cover the evidences
of his crime.
Young's confession is practically
as fonows:
In justice to myself want to make
this confession of the part played
in the killing of Mrs. Pulitzer of
which l am accused.
Il did not commit the crime alone.
IL l am guilty at all, it is only in part
and that not the greater part. / had

when found her.
Il inflicted the wound in the abdo-
men, but she was dead before I did it.

tion with the crime, solemnly pro-
test that the woman was dead before

do not care to say what we did after
that. But think Filing is in Bridge
port now"
Although the New York police are
unanimous in saying that William
Hooper Young's story of a man manner
Filling is falsehood, nevertheless
they keep up their investigations ON
that line.
The police have discovered the place
where Young or some one else bought
the trunk in which Mrs. Pulitzers
body was taken to New Jersey, and in
which her clothing was sent to Chi
cago.
The fact that the son of the trunk
dealer described the purchaser as .

him to the depot, and upon consult

seized by forebodings as to the ac-
curacy of the hands. His inquiry as

assertion seemed to his mind super

old thing he wanted from me then.
He was getting old-and he had a
bushel of deeds to good Michigan
land.
"One Saturday afternoon, hurrying
on to the boat, going over to visit
Uncle Jackson, l took out my match
to see if l had time to run back upon
some trifling errand l had forgotten.
The ancient chain parted a link. the
watch rolled from my hand. fell upon

cious plunk and gurgla into the Chi

Il came near to diving after 1t, as

hire two river roustabouts to try to
recover 1t. with the promise of big
reward. Then the boat cast off her

He always wanted to see the old

this tale. He was very inQuisitive
about 1t, and 1t seemed to me unduly
suspicious. Nevertheless, he affected
to believe me, and at last breathed
freely; then he confounded me again
by announcing desire to return with
me on Monday morning to Chicago.
''As the boat landed my divers met
me gleefully at the wharf, watch in
