IN LOVE WITH CoNvICTs.
Admirers for Men and Women I'm
prisoned for Crime

From London Tit-Bits
Although one would naturally think-said
q Well-knoWn prison chaplain-that the
path OF crime was the least likely of all to
lead to the altar, 1t is very remarkable
thing that some Of the most notorious
criminals I have known have been simply
inundated with offers Of marriage from un-
known sympathizers and admirers In fact,
such is the fascination OF crime to persons
of a certain class that it Is almost safe to
say that the more brutal and heartess the
criminal the better are his or her matrimo-
NAL chances
famous poisoner: Deeming the Australian
wife killer: FauntlerOy and many others
or the greatest scoundrels of our time
might have been married over and over
again il Justice had not substituted the
halter for the altar: and for a woman to
commit a crime. especially If she be at all
good-looking, is to awaken tender emo
tions in many n manly breast.
A few years ago when q certain young
man of rank was charged with a particu-
uarly heartless crime, at least a score of
silly women promptly fell head over heels
in love with him and inundated his solicit
tors with messages Of sympathy offers Of
financial help and Of marriage.
Every day of his trial some Of them at
tended the court and exhausted every STRAIT
agem to get word with him; and when he

him, tainted In court
SO infatuated was Of his lovers that
she went to live in the neighborhood of the
prison where he served his sentence, and
was happy If she caught glimpse Of him
on his way to the quarries. Whether she
married him or not ultimately l cannot
say. but 1t certainly was not her fault if
she didn't.
In another case which occurred at about
the same time a young and pretty girl was
charged with the manslaughter of her child
under peculiarly sad conditions Her case
excited wide sympathy, and to my certain
knowledge at least dozen men wrote to
make her offers of marriage. After long
trial she was acquitted, and one Of her nu-
merous lovers, a man of some wealth.
found home for her. and at the end Of
six months led her to the altar This
strangely united couple are now living on
the continent. and. as hear from a friend
Of mine who Is an English chaplain there,
are very happy together.

1t il very plainly seen that in the
rapid narrowing of the Western cattle
ranges in public land by entry and
settlement, that the increase of beef
must come from some other source.
What is it? AS plainly it is fact that
this increase must come through pure
bred cattle. The country can come to
this as certainly as it did to pure bred
swine, which is the rule now, and not
the exception, as in beef cattle. Pure
blood will Ilincrease .the beef supply by
making 200 to 400 cattle in twenty
four months, whereas such beef now
requires. as rule, thirty-six months.
That is, the same acres which now pro-
duce feedstuffs for 1000 pounds of beef
will, with pures bred cattle produce
1,5O0 pounds of beef, though growing
no more grain or forage. But another
condition towardwhich we are moving
rapidly ,Gand which of course must add
10 q marked measure to the additional
increase in beef production, is that of
feeding a balanced ration.-Indiana

II am going to tell you how they

at Vernon is Grandpa Lee,' ninety
one and half years old. He is able to
help in haying and this year used the
same hay caps (coverings) that have
been in use on the, place for forty years.
They are made of cotton cloth bought
at CT cents a yard about 1S61-before
the price of cotton was raised in war
times. Four yards made one cap and
sixty were made. When cotton was
high some of the cloth was used for
making shirts, reducing the number of
caps to about fifty, which are now in
use. Uncle William prof. Shipman.
of Tufts College) said this was about
equal to the story of the clock which
Grandpa Lee bought fifty years ego.
When he went to purchase he was
shown clock for 50 that was said to
be good aud would last very well, but
for $3.50 the man would give him a
clock that he would warrant for five
years. He bought the expensive ~
clock and has kept it running these
fifty years, cleaning it himself until
late years when he considered his eye
sight not quite good enough. There is
also pork barrel in the family that
has been in iuse for over one hundred
years. Six generations have lived OH
that farm and seven in the neighbor-
