w. Yeater. 10 believed to have ned TO
St. Louis with the intention OF eniisting
in the United States army under an as
sumed name and thus 10 evade pursuit
by the Warren county authorities.
Gov. Dockery will offer a reward OF
800 for Church's arrest. Warren county
has already offered $500 and relatives of
the Yeakers intend TO add a substantial
sum.
When Church left home Sunday night
after the murder was committed he took
with him his best clothing, destroyed
most OF his correspondence and removed
from the family album the only known
photograph of himself. This adds 10 the
strong chain OF c.rcumstantial evidence
which convinces the county officials that
he is guilty.
Church as an orphan had been taken
from the poor farm near Moberly, Mo,
at the age OF nine by the Yeaters. He
had a good home and was treated with
more consideration than the average
farmer boy. He knew that the Yeaters
had willed TO HIM all their possessions.
He was ignorant and gave his foster
parents endless trouble. yet they be-
peved he was more slnnei against than
SHINING, and defended him so vigorously
that some of their nearest relatives be-
came estranged from them because OF
the controversy. over the boy.
STOOD BY HIM FOR YEARS.
Mrs. Yeater sought to make profes-
sional man out OF Church, but he did
not respond TO her efforts. His delight
was 10 roam over the country, gun in
hand and alone. Neighbors say he was
naturally cruel Stray hogs and dogs
found dead were supposed TO be victims
OF his aim, and when the windows OF
the country churches and school houses
were broken the nelghbors shrugged
Their shoulders. and said that the Church
boy had committed the outrages.
Once he was arrested for malicious
mischief, but the prosecution failed TO
establish his guilt The Yeater house is
a half mile from the road on a l2o-acre
farm. 1t Is in a lonely spot. fanked by
woods. The boy led lonely existence
there, his only companions being the
elderly couple.
Five years ago Church ran away from
home because he was chided. came to
Warrenton and stole a gold wa tch from
the home OF Mrs. j. f. Young. a sister
OF Mrs. Yeater. He tried TO sell II TO a
jeweller. who recognized the watch. and
Church was captured at Truesdale as ne
was waiting for a train 10 go to St.

Mrs. Yeater tried TO save him. but he
was convicted and sentenced to the re-

They only thought he jested;

The witty quip attested.
Perchance his heart had felt despair,
But how were they to know it?

They never read below it.

His laughter stilled forever;

drift when it got buried) several cars of
coal, three box cars, with hunks for the
shovelers, a kitchen and dining car,
and caboose.
The track had been closed for more
than a week, and the storm still con-
tinued; but the division superintendent
had said that the road must be opened
at all hazards, and was to accompany
us on the trip. We started out from
J. and made good run, considering
the condition, of the road. But
as we worked west the snow grew
deeper, and the cuts that had been
cleared time and again during the win
ter, sometimes reached depth of
twenty feet On the second day out it
began to snow and blow, and at times
the storm was so thick that we could
only feel our way. 1t was necessary
to use the utmost care between stations
as we knew that a train and gang of
shovelers had left M, the western end
of the division, and were working our
way. We worked in two shifts, day
crew and night crew, and every man

supply ran low the crew would be set

and we would melt enough to carry US

ish, not ostentatious-that is a great
gift! Not to buy the best for oneself
for that is not to be bought, but to help
others to the second best, the necessa-
ries of life-here the glory of wealth
comes in. For gold in itself is austere,
dignified. The man who possesses it
is god, having in his hand the power
of good and evil, If used to help, to as
suage to take something off the sum
total of human misery. Then, indeed,
it is put to glorious use.
That is the true inward meaning of
wealth. that is put into the hand of
one man for the relief Of many; and in
all creation is there a sweeter sound
than the cry of Joy of starving Great
ure satisfied-of the relief of one able
to purchase for few coppers ashelter
between the street and his shivering
body? Not merely vulgar but wicked
in the extreme, is he who scatters his
gold in the sight of the starving multi
tude, but not upon it.
ToIstoi's "Re5nrrection" makes one
understand why he revolts against the
tyranny of the rich, the oppression of
the poor; why he is true to himself in
living as the poor live, keeping un-
broken the electric current of ofsympathy
between himself and his fellow humans,
while the world calls him madman and
fanatic.
All the ancient philosophers we're
poor. Why? Because the rich men
never had time to philosophize-tbey
were always running around about fire
insurance and things, and those philos-
ophers Diogenes especially knew a
trick or two when they retired to their
tub or wilderness, washing their hands
of all responsibilities.

Did not Byron, when accused of star

had never seen pretty woman before,
reply: "Often, but never woman who
wore her hair outside her bonnet, in

Well, riches are vulgar when worn
outside instead of in; it is when people
have been for years accustomed to
wealth, born in it, bred in it, all as Sec
ond nature, that they never(for offense
is very much matter of the nostrils)

most when its owner brings the house
in, and leaves Nature out. When he is
able to put furnishing second, and Ma
ture first, and does not look at her
through peep-hole of richly curtained
windows, he is beginning to get on and
