Les FULLERTON or MISSOURI.

long enough TO take on our hats TO
Lee Fullerton. Lee Fullerton Of Mis-
souri,. If you care TO write him. adj
dress your letter TO him az Joplin, and
the postmaster viii be glad TO deliver
it, Fullerton IS just 13 years old, but
&c IS close to the mark to say he is the
most admired. respected and looked-up
to boy I'm the state of Missouri today
In his circle OF acquaintance. es-
pecialy among his own particular set,
young Fullerton is a hero. with an
upper case "H." Il Is not surprising
that this should be true. either for the
boy on Wednesday showed more cour-
age than most Of the men in Joplin,
far more than could reasonably be eX-
pected from any lad Of his years and
inches. Alone and single handed Lee
captured a negro desperate who was
armed with a repeating rifle and who
was breathing threatenings Of slaugn-
ter 20 all the people around.
The story reads like an extract from
such a tale as Roaring Ralph Round
err. the Boy Detective; or How the
Mystery of Bloody Gulch Was Solved"
A negro had shot a policeman to death
while the latter was endeavoring 20
effect his arrest Fullerton heard Of
the affair and in some manner tracked
the criminal 20 a slaughter house just
east Of Joplin. The negro was armed
with a rifle. as stated. and threatened
death to men who sought to capture
him.
Fullerton. undaunted, slipped into
the slaughter house through a disused
/ entrance and sprang upon the negro
from behind. Before the latter knew
what was happening the boy had him
on his back with a knife at his throat
| A moment later he compelled the flu
gitlve to give up his weapon, and then,
/ leveling the rifle at him. he made the
| fellow walk before him to a point out
/ side, where several men were await
| ing developments. Subsequently the
! negro was lynched

We would not advise boys generally
to follow the lead Of this Missouri
prodigy. He performed a very cour-

foolhardy one. However. we would

ANOTHER ARMY MURDER.

IT Is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to
/ credit the story that comes from
Germany To- the effect that an ensign
I'm the army killed an artilleryman who
failed to salute him properly. The
tale is told with a wealth of detail and
is accompanied by the statement that
a courtmartial of the murderer has
been ordered. The facts. If they are
as stated, make out a clear case Of
murder and no amount of influence
should be permitted 20 save the offend
er from am Ignominious execution.
Germany. however. may have some
people resembling misguided citizens Of
this country. who imagine, or pretend
to imagine. that an attack on abuses
aud crimes committed by individual
members of the army is an attack on
the entire army. IL such "a sentiment
exists in Germany it may not De pos
sible TO- bring this murderer to justice,
but that does not alter the fact that
he should De hanged.
The life of a private soldier is at best
a hlrd one. If we add To- his other
duties the duty of being killed without
murmuring for a tridlng infraction Of
discipline We may expect 20 encounter
considerable difficulty In securing the
requisite number or the right character
of enIIstmauts. And while Americans
generally win cry out in horror at this
German incident The Herald is not
certain that we have very much right
90 be Mortified.
Our own country. our own army. are
not entirely blameless. The German
affair should serve TO remind as Of
something of a similar character here
az home. on az least iu our own army

the case of the unfortunate Private
Richter. who was tortured 90 death by
order of his commanding officer. That
officer was tried and acquitted by a

It was shown that for a comparative
ly trIning breach Of discipline Richter
was gagged and tied 20 short stakes
driven into the ground. Stretched out

the water torture was administered 20
him until death ended his suffering.
Yet the man who ordered the torture
has never been punished. and we are
told that to- condemn him IS 90 COM

To BE Healthy Be Practical.

Theoretically, every adult person of
any intelligence wishes to be strong
and healthy. Practically, Il majority Of
them wish nothing of the sort. They
would like to be we'll enough, but are
not willing TO pay the price, though it
really costs nothing. When 4 man gets
out of health he usually wants to get
something to patch him up" so that
he can continue the foolish things
which have caused his bad conditions;
hence the almost universal resort to
drug treatment instead of the natural
means of restoring and maintaining
health and strength. If man is really
DESTROYS of being naturally sound land
healthy he will try TO study out the
means of becoming SO. These means
are all included in the seven fOunda-
ton principles of practical hygiene
namely. exercise. rest, air, light, food,
drink and Misunderstanding Club.

WHAT is WEALTH.
Health and Ability to Work Better
Than Money md Worry.


Does wealth consist in money, houses,
lands, bank stocks, railroad bonds, etc,
alone? We think not. The young man
starting in life with no money, but
with good digestion, good sleep, good
health and ability to work in some
profitable employment, has what the
aged capitalist would be glad to ex-
change all his millions for.
What compensation is money for
sleepless nights and painful days or
the misconduct of dissipated children?
Which brings the greater happiness,
the glitter, show, jealousies and falsity
of fashionable life or the heartfelt
friendships which prevail so largely
in the homes of the industrious poor?
In how many of the palaces of our mill
HOnaires will you find greater happi-
ness in the parlor than in the kitchen?
How many millionaires Will tell you
that they are happier now than when
starting in life without a dollar?
On the top of mountains we find
rocks and ice and snow. 1t is down in
the valleys that we find the vineyards.
