AGAINST SONS PARDON
Father Of a Wife Murderer Says He
Does Not Favor His Sons Pardon
by the Lesislature-Judse Who SEN
fenced Him Also is Opposed.

| Des Moines, Dec. 2O.-The Legislature
which meets in January not only will
be asked by wife not to pardon her
husband, but it will be confronted by
even a more remarkable spectacle =
father pleading with the assembly
not to pardon his son.
This remarkable situation arises in
the case Of William Toole, wife muir
derer in Sac county, who is serving a
life sentence at the Anamosa prison.
Letters are on file in the office of the
governor and will be transmitted to the
legislature with the applications of the
fourteen life convicts who ask for free
dom, in which the fact is disclosed
that the father of Toole hopes he viii
not be pardonet, believing that he rich
ly deserves the. sentence under which
he exists.
And, moreover, 1t has been represent
ed by the father Of the convict that
not only he but the two children Of
the convict are opposed to his pardon.
Whether the statement is correct as to
the mans children or not, has not yet
been verified.
The record SO far as made up shows
that when Toole was sent to prison for
life in 1895, at the age of 43 years, his
father adopted the two children whose
mother his son had killed. They are
boy and girl. The father has represent
ed that both he and the mans child
rem feel that the son and fathers sem
tence is no more than just, that the
convict has no means of support, that
the old man has barely enough to madn-
tain himself and support the grand
children without further burdens. that
If the convict is pardoned the children
would be compelled to leave Sac City
and go among strangers to live, and,
therefore, they hope that the incarcer-
ated man will not be pardoned
Judge q A. Church of Jefferson sem
fenced Toole to prison. He has been
importuned to join in seeking the mans
pardon, and always has refused to
do so.

Washing Lace.

Quite the simplest way to wash lace
is to make soap lather by shredding
quarter of a pound of soap into n
quart Of water. Allow this to simmer
over slow fire until dissolved.
Put little of this in a clean, wide
necked glass bottle. Put in the lace
also after thoroughly shaking the dust
out of it. Then cork the bottle and
shake it well. AS often as the latter
becomes dirty pour it off and add
fresh, shaking as before
When it is clean, rinse first in warm
water and then in cold.
Have ready thick piece of flannel
the size Of the lace. Lay it on a clean
table, pull the lace gently into shape,
picking out all the little points and fas-
tening them each with a pin.
Above all, never iron or blue fine lace.
Ironing makes it shiny Bluing is GRIM
inal, as the creamy tint of lace is it's
most admired quality.

The Critic and the LADY,.

Talleyrand, the noted Frenchman,
possessed wit OF SO high an order that
1t has stood well the test Of time, and
his jokes are still good. The author
OF Juniper Hail. gives two of his
sayings to Madame de Stael
He was a great admirer of Madame
Recamier and Madame de Stael, the
one for her beauty, the other for her
wit. Madame de Stael asked him one
day IL he found himself with both of
them in the sea on a plank, and could
only save one, which it would be, to
which he replied:
''Ah! Madame de Stael knows so
many things, doubtless she knows
how to swim"
When "Delphine" appeared, 1t was
said that Madame de Stael had de-
scribed herself as Delphine, and that
Talleyrand was the original of Ma
dame de Vernon.
Meeting the authoress soon after
ward, Talleyrand remarked. in his
most gentle tone of voice:
Il hear that both you and / appear
in your new book, but disguised as
women."-Montreal Herald.
