Help Needed at Barium Orpans' Home

III the current number OF Our Father
less Ones, Rev. X. w. Boyd, superintend-
ent OF the Barium Orphans Home says
over his own signature
The contributions to this glorious work
since the opening of the Orphans Home
year, November list, are much less than
they were ,for the corresponding month
OF the previous year, Notwithstanding the
number OF wards is twenty-five more than
The average number of last year, and
twenty-five more than at the CORES ponding
date OF last year. The simple truth Is
the contributions to date are less than
the demands of the work by the expenses
OF one whole month. All that is standing
today between these wards intrusted TO
our care and absolute want is the credit
OF the Orphans Home and the indul-
gerCe of the merchants the Home is ac-
customed to patronize. There is one
matter more that increases this doubt
The Industrial Building, so necessary to
the satisfactory conducting of the train
ing of the children for usefulness and
success in life, is still without an EQUIP
n'cnt. In this building will be placed
the laundry, shoe-shop, printing office,
cannery repair-shop. etc The building
is ready for the equipment but there are
no funds in hand with which to make
Purchase. third matter that still furth-
el increases this doubt is that fifty add
tonal wards of the Father of the father
less and Judge of the widow are raising
their hands in earnest supplicaton to be
receiver into the care and training of the
Synod. and there is no room to receive
them. Shall we shut our hearts and our
doors to the helpless children OF our
Father and turn a deaf ear to their cry?
Can we ask Him to pity us if we excuse
ouI selves. under any pretext whatsoever,
from showing pity to the most helpless,
yet most promising, of all to whom it is
our privilege to minister"

Explained aDouBIe Header

Bert D. NOrtoni, of St. Louis, as
sistant United States district attorney,
who was last week promoted to the
position of the assistant attorney gen
eral for the Postoffice department, once
had to explain in a justice court what
he meant by referring to the two jus
tees sitting in the case as a double
header Its a railroad term, Your
Honor" he said, "signifying double
strength. When they make up a big
train in the yards and one engine can't
haul It over the road they hook on an
other one. Instead Of one there are two
furnaces under the boilers, two safety
valves popping of and two stacks
throwing out smoke and fire and cind-
ers. A double header always moves
whatever it's hitched up to; it always
gets there; nothing stops it; it's in
fallible."
Something akin to a smile spread
over the aged jurist's face. To be
called a double header wasn't SC
bad after all. The attorney was for
given and at the conclusion of the tria
FOunt Wilson, who had been arraigneC
upon a charge of murder, was dis
= charged. Nortoni was his attorney.

Ed KELLEY USED BAD MONEY
PUT UP $500 CASH BOND AID THEE
FAILED TO APPEAR.
Was Under Charge Of Blowing Up RawIins
County Safe-His Pal Came From
Chicago and Used Green Goods
That Deceived the Omeers.

At the last term of the district court
in Rawlins county, when the case Of Ed
Kelley, charged with blowing up the
Rawlins county safe in 1901, was called,
he failed to appear, and the bond of
8, 500 was declared forfeited. The good
people of that county and the officers,
who began to console themselves with
the fact that since Kelley had not
thought It wise to return, he at least
had partially reimbursed them with the
money stolen, by leaving in their hands
the s., 500 bond money. And they
opened the package which had been
held in safe-keeping. A close insPec-
ton Of the cash put up proved that the
bills were all counterfeit, so It IS said.
The officers are now wondering who
was the kind-hearted man that visited
them and put the bond money for Kel-
Iey's release. But while they are thus
looking about themselves they are shy
one safe breaker and one man who has
been passing the queer"
It will be remembered that the at
tempted robbery in Rawlins county
created a great deal of interest through
out this section of the state. The men
got away, and although it was known
that Kelley was in the gang of robbers
he could not be taken. He had got tc
Chicago, where he had the protection
of his gang and, It is rumOred, the pro
lection of some of the officers of the
law 1t was in this case that Sheriff
Lucas, of Shawnee county, made {
great reputation as a thief taker- He
got Kelley out of Chicago by a smooth
piece of work and landed him in Jail II
Atwood. Kelley remained in jail there
a few months and then one of his pal:
came from Chicago and put up a cast
bond of s., 500.
