of Mrs. Kate Edwards and Samuel
Greason, and they will not be hanged
tomorrow.
History of the Crime.
The crime OF Mrs. Edwards and the
negro Greason was one of the most
dastardly and cowardly outrages in
the criminal annals of Pennsylvania.
The woman is forty years old and
the mother of six children. In 1882,
when she was little more than a girl,
she was married to John Edwards,
a farmer, ten years her senior. From
her birth the girl had been brought
up in the midst of dire poverty. AS
soon as she was able to work she

the beginning of their married life
her husband drank to excess, and at
times was brutal. He beat her, chok-
ed her, dubbed her. Stunned by

the companionship of a lone negro,
Greason, who worked in the quarry
at which he was employed. The
associate he brought to mis- home and
introduced to his wife and 14-year-old
daughter. He brought him constant

customed fact, n the negro became
a familiar friend of the family.

Etilated body was found at the bot
tom of a cistern. His ead had been
pounded into a jelly with a hammer.
Kate Edwards. the daughter Mary.
Samuel Greason, Charles Rollins. Bill
Jones and shorty Thompson (ali
OF the men negroes) were at one
time or another committed To prison
on information alleging the murder of
Edwards. hi woman was tried and
convicted in September. 1901. Samuel
Greason was tried convicted two
months later. All the others were dis
charged.
On the trial of the cases, he Com
monwealth advanced the theory that
Kate Edwards had been criminally in
timated with Greason, and that fear
her child was born, she secured Greas
on's assistance, and that together
they murder Edwards. The child, Al
ma Edwards, was born in the Berks
County prison on July I3, 1901. nine
days after the crime, and proved to
be a mulatto.
The progress of the case was filed
with many surprises. Three separate
appeals were taken to the supreme
court in Greason's case. An act of the
legislature was passed for the special
purpose of making his appeal possible
Hearings were had before the broad
Of pardons time and again. The case
of Mrs. Edwards was refused by the
broad Of pardons on three separate oc
casions.

This is a good game to pass the
time while the impatient ones are
waiting for Christmas dinner.
All the children present can play.
They stand in a long row, one behind
the other. The eyes Of the one in
front are covered by the one behind,
BY clasping both hands over them
Then one of the other players creeps
softly out Of place, tiptoes to the
blinded leader, gently tweaks his
nose, and sneaks back into place.
The leaders eyes are released then
and he must walk up and down the
row and try to find the one who
pulled his nose by studying the faces
of all and picking out the one who
looks guilty.
When he has decided, he must say.
Nose, Nose, Who Nose" and catch
the suspected one by the nose. If he
has found the right one, he takes his
place in the row and the captured
player must go in front and have his
nose tweaked in turn. But If he has
not picked the right one, the wrong
fully suspected player takes him by
the nose and leads him back to his
original place.

Affection Of an AIIlaator.

1t seems that if you only begin
early enough it is possible to tame
even the fiercest of animals. A baby
alligator, caught in a swamp, was
taken to the home of its captor in
New York, and in course of time it
would follow him about like a dog.
What was even more curious was
that it and the cat became great
chums. When pussy slept before the
fire the alligator used to lay it's head
on the cat and go to sleep too. The
only creature that excited the alli-
gator was fox chained in a yard.

lashed it with it's TAIL Once, had the
chain not broken, poor Reynard

Bow Kills a Mountain Llon.

A boy by the name Of John Demer-

treasury yesterday. His warrant for
the money was the skin of a ion,

circumstances. The boy was riding
along the river and saw the beast eat
ing the carcass of a raccoon, which
he had just killed. Demerbreaux VI as
armed with a shotgun and he emptied
both barrels into the lion, killing it
instantly. Old hunters and others
familiar with the habits of the mcun--

seen in the daytime, he is never seen
eating. He takes his meals by night.

FIeet.winqed Birds.

There are certain species of ducks
that are given the credit by natural
lists Of being the fleetest of winged
creatures. Recently, however, it has
been ascertained that the learned
,men were in error and the stork is
found to far outstrip all denizens Of
the air in speed. After an exhaustive
survey Of the field it is now declared
that no living thing, not even a scared
jack rabbit, can travel with the speed
displayed by such birds as the stork
and the Northern bluethroat. Not
only do these birds fly with speed
that can hardly be conceived, but
they keep up their rapid flight for
1000 or 1000 miles at stretch with
cut apparently tiring Evidence has
heen collected recently which shows
that the bluethroat flies from central
Africa to the shores of the North sea-
a distance of 1000 miles, in less than
day and night, and making it,
moreover, in one uninterrupted fight.

Take half dozen large potatoes
and cut them in half. Shape each
half into a candlestick by scooping
out a round hole in the small end,
making it large enough to hold can

Place a half-candle in each of the
potato candlesticks and pin around
each candle a strip Of paper on which
is written one wcrd indicating a trait
Of character, such as "modesty,7 .
"bashfulness,' vanity" etc.
Then form a magic ring with the
candles in the center of a dimly light
ed room. The ring should be about
three feet in diameter.
Blindfold one Of the players and
have the center party join hands and
run three times around the lighted
candles.
Then, leaving the blindfolded player
standing two feet from and facing the
ring. let the others fall back while a
chair is placed before her, and fan
is handed to her, and she is told to
make three trials at tanning out the
candles over the back of the chair
After the third trial she must re-
move the bandage from her eyes and
examine the papers on the candles
that are left burning, reading aloud
the words which reveal her character.
If care is taken that no one ap-
proaches the candles after they are
lighted except the person managing
the game and the one whose charac-
ter is being tested, there will be no
danger of skirts catching fire.
