Why Marjory Refused
To Pray For Cousin Tom

AARJORY was five Cousin Tom
NJ was twenty-five. They adored
each other. Cousin Tom never
had known any other home than Mar
jory had known, and Marjory's little
life would have been sadly incomplete
without her handsome cousin.
When he became engaged to his pref
ty neighbor, Gertrude Martin, Marjory
accepted the situation with unbounded
JOY. She loved Miss Gertrude with
her whole atfectionate little heart, and
1t was fitting that Cousin Tom should
love her too. But one unhappy day it
became known to Marjory that after
Toms marriage he would have his
home with the Martins. She protested,
scolded, cajoled, and, though both Tom
and Gertrude were untiring in their
efforts to win the little maids mind to
accept their plan, Marjory never sur
rendered herself to the belief that Tom
really would go away. So when the
day arrived for her beloved Cousins
departure her childs heart was tor
tured with hurt pride and love- and
she would not let him touch her and
refused to say goodby to him when he
was leaving the house.
1t was Marjory's custom in her even
ing prayers, with head bowed on clasp
ed hands on her mothers shoulder, to
ask God to bless individually each
member of the household, and Cousin
TOMS name always was prominent in
the list Of petitions and was pro-
nounced with special fervor.
On the first night of Toms absence
from his old home Marjory reached
her usual ending: "God bless every
body in the world. Amen!' without
any mention of Cousin Tom.
"Why, Marjory," said her mother
gently, you've forgotten Cousin Tom"

but Oh the outbreak of the civil war,
though only nineteen, entered the army.
He at first held a commission as second
lieutenant of the Seventy ninth Ohio
volunteers, but his bravery and capac-
ity Wen him rapid promotion and in
1864, just before the Atlanta campaign,
he became lieutenant colonel He
was in command OF the Fourteenth
United States colored infantry during
some Of the most exciting operations
Of this campaign.
General Corbin was brevetted briga-
der general Of volunteers in 1860 and
on the conclusion Of the war entered
the regular army. He served ten years
on the plains in New Mexico, Arizona
and Texas and in 1877 was detailed
to service in Washington, where he
rose IN the service Of the adjutant gen
erals department, becoming head Of
the department early in 1898.
General COrbin was married in 1863
to Miss Frances Strickle of Whining

CORNCOB PIPE
SAVED HIS LIFE.
II SEcS Introduced at a 6rial
For Murder. and the sigh
Affected One orr the Jury.

This is a story of how an old cob
pipe played an important part in saw
Ing the life of man convicted Of mur-
der. In the New Goldtield mining
Diamondtield. 1t did not receive it's
name from the fact that diamonds
have been discovered there. but from
the circumstance that the best claims
in the camp We're located by Diamond
field Jack Davis.
In the early and middle nineties
Diamondtield Jack was a trusted range
rider in the employ Of the Sparks
Herrold Cattle company in Idaho. In
those days there was much friction be-
tween the cattlemen and the sheep
men, and on the range covered by Dia-
mondtield Jack it is said that dead
line had been established, which the
their tlocks.
When, therefore, on Feb 16, 1896,
John c. Wilson, a sheep herder, and
his companion, man named Cum
mings, were found dead in their camp
on disputed ground, evidently murder
ed, and it was further discovered that
Diamondtield Jack and his partner,
Jack Gleason had been in that locality
about the time the killing took place,
they were promptly arrested.
Jack Davis was placed on trial first,
and it was one Of the most closely con-
tested murder trials in the history of
Idaho. The evidence was circulnstan-
tial, and the defendant came very near
proving an alibi, it having been neces-
sary for Davis and Gleason to have
made an almost impossible ride in Or
der to have been at the sheepmen's
camp at the time it was proved they
We're killed. But Davis was convicted
OF murder in the first degree. His case
was sent to the supreme court Of Ida
no and to the federal court Of appeals.
but he was beaten at every turn, and
the date of his execution was finally
fixed, with only the possible clemency
Of the governor to intervene.
Then it was that Judge O. w. Pow
ers, who had done at least as much rs
any other man to convict Davis. be-
came convinced. largely upon the
strength of new evidence discovered.
that Davis was innocent. Judge Pow
ers thereupon went before the govern
or of Idaho and pleaded for the COM
mutation Of Davis sentence to life i'm
pr1sonment, which was granted. Later
he presented to the governor written
argument for an absolute pardon for
Davis, and this was also granted.
When Judge Powers was recently
reminded Of the celebrated case he
said:
"Do you know the first thing that
raised a doubt in my mind as to the
guilt of Diamondfield Jack was an old
cob pipe which was found under the
wagon in which lay the bodies Of the
murdered sheepmen? The pipe was

introduced in evidence by the prosecu-
ton, and at the time this was done |
happened to be looking in the face Of
witness for the prosecution, a man
named Bowers. An expression passed
over this mans face which showed
that he was peculiarly affected. l said
then to one OF my colleagues that
Bowers knew something about that
pipe, but the others thought there was
nothing to it, and the incident was
passed over at the time. But the
doubt created in my mind then helped
to convince me when further evidence
tending to prove Davis guilt was pre-
eonted.
'Wers afterward confessed that
1t was he and another man who killed
the sheepmen, and he told about the
old cob pipe having been knocked from
his mouth in the struggle which took
place He set up plea Of self defense
and was acquitted. Davis partner.
Gleason, was acquitted before this con-
fession was made, a fact which nroba
bly, helped in securing Davis commu-
tation Of sentence"
A prominent citizen of Salt Lake
City who recently visited Goldfeld
states that there is every indication
that the district will be strong rival
Of Cripple Creek. even II it does not
excel that camp in the production of
gold, and he says that Diamondfeld
Jack is undoubtedly the owner of some
Of the best ground in the new district.

The Stump Speaker.


Now comes the great stump speaker,
A gentleman of note,
With silvery voice and language choic
To tell lis how to vote;
With gesture quite emphatic,
And proud, protruding chest,
To let us view a thing or two,
So we can do the rest
In city or in country
He takes the shaky stand
Most anywhere and saws the air
10 save his native land
Rear platforms are his hobby;
Soon as the train pulls in
He steps outside to point with pride
And swear his side will win.
With language fierce and fiery,
With adjectives to burn,
He holds to view the other crew
And roasts it to a turn.
His party is perfection,
It's workers cannot fail.
Those leaders who oppose his view
Deserve to be in jail
Comes now the great stump speaker
To loose his flood Of talk,
And in the fight his side is right.
For marbles, cash or chalk.
For service you are certain
This patriot would scorn pay,
But all the same he's in the game
For what he gets per day.
