Youths Turning to Crime.

The startling statement is made In
Minneapolis that Of the forty-one pris-
'eners in the Hennepin county jail,
not one is above twenty-three years
OF age. The condition that brings
about this state of affairs Is worth In
Quiring into. A Hennepin county
Judge commenting upon the situa-
ton says that he believes the increase
Of crime among young men is due
to their being forced out of many
sources OF employment by girls. The
one thing certain is the feet that
there are more young men occupying
cells IL jails and penitentiaries than
there were few years ago, and it
behcoyes those persons who interest
themselves in criminology to inquire
into the conditions that have brought
about this increase In the criminal
tendencies Of young men.

CAPTURED THE WRONG LION.
How Head Waiter Came to Have

Honors Thrust Upon Him.
The career of q social lion hunter
Is liable to be attended with an oc-
casional disappointment, even though
on the whole successful. Burton
Holmes, On some of his tours as a
lecturer, has been considerably lion
lied and he tells this story Of com
pliment which he missed, but which
was enjoyed by another. He was lee
turing in an eastern city, and re-
ception was given in his honor at the
principal hotel Of the place.
Among those who attended this re-
ceptien was woman prominent So
cially, who has established a sort of
salon and receives her friends Sun
day afternoons, trying to provide a
lion" or two for each occasion.
Burton Holmes was so fortunate
as not to be presented to the fair lion
hunter, but she presented herself to
the man she had stalked for her
game, and urged upon him her invi-
tation for the Sunday afternoon. He
very modestly attempted to decline
1t. His excuses were not accepted,
and the victim consented to appear.
Extra arrangements were made for
this occasion and the fact that Mr..
Holmes was to be there was herald
ed abroad. On the day ell the youth
and beauty Of the place gathered to-
gether awaiting the advent of a some
what tardy lion, who was received
with every mark Of consideration and
appeared to be embarrassed thereby.

A BOY FALLS FIFTEEN FEET.
While Giving Trapeze Performance in
Wagon Shed.
UNCONSCIOUS TWO HOURS.
Little Ernest Ficlds's Unforunate
Attempt to BE Snowman.

Last Sunday afternoon Ernest,
the seven-years.old son of James
II. Fields who lives on the James
Sipes farm east of town, was in
the wagon shed with some com
panions, and was showing them
some trapeze performance that he
had seen in Smiths Show that
was here a few days ago.
Ernest was getting along all
right until he had ascended rope
to the comb of the roof a height
of fifteen feet, when he missed
his hold and fell headlong, pass
ing through binder reel and
alighting on his head on wheel
barrow. The boy pluckily pick
ed himself up and went to the
house; but in a few minutes un-
consciousness set in, and Mr.
Fields hastily summoned DR..
Mosser, who found that the boy
sustained conclusion of the brain.
In a few hours the little fellow
rallied, and is now supposed to
be out of danger.

Dr.. Cook, of Fulton county, was
the orator of the day. She made
the address in the Court House,
the seating capacity of which was
hardly adequate for the throng
of people that was determined to
hear her. Mrs. Cook has a strong
personality and has an excellent
delivery, which added to her
forceful utterances and tluency
of speech commanded the undi-
vided attention of the whole audi.

address without any special sub

which actuated the northern sol

ry, for the preservation of our
country.

tented

Sometimes one of the favorites
of fortune, sitting in the lap of
luxury, runs out of amusement
and spends a little time plying
the country editor.
Don't do it. If you have pity
to spare, pity the millionaire, and
If you want to pray, pray for the
spindle shanked gazaboo that is
living the strenuous life of the
metropolis. They need it.
But don't pity the country edl-
tor. He is as contented as a COW
puffed up by eating rose gerani-
ums. Don't lose sleep over the
Rube who edits your home pa
per. He may not know paregor-
ic from a misfit formula for MAX
ing'apple butter, but he keeps an
eye on the doings in the little
county capital and when the time
comes to talk, he tells the real
standing of affairs to more peo-
pie in week than you talk to in
years.
Don't pity the country editor.
He eats with his knife, wears un.
dershirts with slivers in them
and his lower jaw is ornamented
with the Salus--Grady--Penny
packer muzzle, but for all that he
is no object to pity or to poke fun
at. For he has an escutcheon
embroidered on his soiled linen
and has wiped his aqueline nose
on the flour sack of civilization.
You may think it very funny
when his paper announces to the

The company have already Sc

keep the factory in operation for
at least five years.
This is, we trust, just the be-
