A GRUESOME MEMENTO.
of Autographs Which Relate
to n Dreadful Crime.

'oiune OF autographs Which Relate
to n Dreadful Crime.
Among the collections of n manifold
character, including a volume of an.
tographs the genuineness of which Is
beyond all doubt, and many other
curios, all in a more or less degree
connected with American history. in
possession of a well known resident
of this city who for more than fifty
years has been engaged in gathering
such things, the most gruesome of the
lot is a series Of memorials Of to al
low them such a title can be proper
connected with n of the trio of great
crimes that bereft the American peo-
pie of the nations chief magistrate,
says the Washington Star.
This particular n concerns the
trial, conviction and execution Of
Guiteau, the assassin whose awful
crime resulted in the death Of Presi-
dent Garfield. Not only does this
gloomy memento include the auto
graphs and portraits of each member
of the jury with one exception, it also
contains the autographs OF the judge
who presided in the case, those of the
lawyers who participated in the event
and their photographs; also the sign
manual of Guiteau himself and the
Jack Ketch who pulled the cord that
launched the wretch into eternity.
This is not all, however, that is
shown in this chapter of the dreadful
tragedy. The details are augmented
in their completeness by a lock Of the
murderer's hair, by n part of the black
cap that covered his face when he
was hanged and a piece of the rope
that was fastened around his neck
when, so far rs earthly %eXpiation
went, he suffered for his crime.

scarcely keep open, she persisted that
she wasn't a bit tired, "on'y hungry"
That was a subterfuge she was al
ways guilty of at bedtime.

and we discussed the party.
You were a funny man." she said.

from weeping.
And you liked me the best of all
the little girls there?"
"Of curse | did"
Quite sureT' she said, coaxlngly.
Quite sure" l repeated.
Then mummie was wrong" she
said, triumphantly.
"How's that?" | asked.
well, when mummie and Aunt Mer-
va came in to say Goodnight l heard
auntie say how fond you were Of me,
and mummie said, Yes, and l know
some n else he's very fond Of, too,
or would be, If she'd let him. and
auntie went quite funny, and said:
Don't be ridiklus, Daisy'-Daisy's
what daddie calls mummie-but mum.
mie only laughed and said: I don't
think you're always kind to him"
Kathleen stopped to take breath
after this long recital, and then wen
on: 80 after mummie went down,
stairs, and auntie brought me q

bettern me. Auntie said No. ant
then asked her If she wasn't always
Kind to you. Auntie said, 'Perhap,
not, sometimes Then | said she ough'
to love you like l did, COS you wer,
lonely and had no nice little girl o
your own like my daddy had. Thel
she stopped down to kiss me, and he
cheek was quite wet, just as If she't
been crying. I've never seen Aunti
Merva cry before"
There was a serious look in Kath
leen's blue eyes.

tressed.
Il think l can guess" I said, an,
with a full heart l kissed the little ur
turned face.

timer
well, yes, l suppose l do"
DO you keep your toys in those big
tin boxes?"
"Well, they're not toys like those in
your nursery"
DO you sit here all by yourself,
then?'
| nodded.
And lever feel lonely?"
Sometimes" l said, smiling in spite
of myself at the serious little face.
Il heard mummie tell daddy one day
you We're a lonely man."
"Oh!'
l was certainly hearing some home
truths.
But you won't be lonely when you
come to my party, will your"
No, dear. | like to come as often
as l can to your house." and | spoke
the truth.
By this time Kathleen's nurse had
returned expect she had been wait
ing outside all the time-and with
strict injunctions mot to forget the
party next Wednesday," my little WIS.,
itor kissed me good-by, and l tried to
settle down to work again.
But a pair of blue eyes would keep
dancing in front Of me on my blotting
pad. Sometimes | thought they were
Kathleen's and sometimes I thought
they were-some one else's. kath-
leen's eyes and her Aunt Merva's were
strangely alike. | had noticed it be-
fore.
The room seemed quite cheerless
now that she had gone.
In the intervening days the postmal
left strange notes for me.
Sometimes the missives were stuck
together with jujubes, but. 1 had no
dlmculty in d%eciphering the signs.
They read: Don't forget the party
next We'n'sday." AS to the crosses
well, the most ignorant person knows
what those mean in a letter.
"We'n'sday" came at last, and. of
course, l went to the party. 1t was
a great success. The house was turned
upside down by a merry crowd of little
folks who kept the fun going until
long after they ought to have been in
bed

"Oh, no; course, nursie's with me-"
and the blue eyes smiled, at me so
sweetly; but she's gone shopping.

"I'm too growed-up to get lost" she

A DR. AM CRUISE.

My prayers l say and lay me down;
The lights of Starland CLEAN afar,
NV trundle bed is Sleepy Town,
My window is the harbor bar.
Beyond the curtained patch Of blue
There lies a fair and wondrous sea;
My dream ship feels the flowing tide,
l lear my sailors calling me.
A shallop skins across the blue,
And Jackies touch their hats, polite,
-'Come, get aboard, dear captain, do,
The bells are sounding candle light"
The lullaby my mother croons
Grows fainter and still fainter grows;
The bOs'n pipes his merry tunes
And dances on his timber toes.
Heigh-ho! a merry crew, | ween,
For some are wood, and some are
dough,
And some before in books I've seen,
And some are dolls | used to know.
Now. where away, oh, captain, where?
I'd sail me swift, I'd sail me far,
The evening winds are blowing fair,
Wen head her for the Morning Star.

Curious EnY " inhOWs.

There is n house in Bridgeport,
Conn, that has two OF the most Gu
rlous bay windows ever seen. They
are made of halves Of old horse cars.
Holes were cut in the front of the
house just the size of the cars, and one
Of the discarded vehicles was cut in
two lengthwlse. The halves were put
in position and pow the front rooms
have added light and window seats
that used in times gone by to accom-
modate the riding public Of the city.

REV. r. A. WHITE ucatlOn ought so to be administered
and so conceived that it is a joy giver. The introduction
of the so-called fads into elementary grades has been from
u variety Of motives. The utintariaQ sees In them a means
meal. Others see in them a subtle educational value, a
means of selfexpression.
Manual training has made school work interesting. The
child naturally wants to construct, to make things, to pro-
1ect his ideas into form. However you approach the ques
ton Of fads, they are of greatest value in an educational
system. Those who talk of a return to the three Rs SAVIOR
of medievalism. There is an odor of the middle ages about
such assertions. The man or woman who attacks the so
called fads simply reveals his or her complete ignorance of
the educational value of fads.

A SQUARE DEAL IN FOOD PRODUCTS.
BY DR.. N. N. wiley.

This is the era of the square deal"
and it ought to include a square deal
in food products. There Is considerable
misunderstanding of the purpose of the
Agricultural Department in seeking
food legislation. 1t is not to restrict
trade, but to help it. The primary
purpose is to have all foodstuffs sold
under truthful labels and to be what
they are represented to be. The same
thing should be true of other products.
1t has been maintained by some per-

MANUAL TRAINING FADS.
RY Rev. X. A. White

Does education fit a mar to get on,
to make money, to run a store? are
popular questions about education. Now
the utilities of education have their
place. An education which does not
fit a man or woman to live successfully
in u present industrial life fails at
an important point. But in our zeal
for education as a utility we are losing
sight Of the value Of education as a
pleasure. Life has as much right to
joy as 1t has to food and raiment. Ed

is the life of trade" Statistics have proved that
where food laws have been enforced there has been
an increase of business, not a diminution. This is due
to the increase in the buyers confidence that when they

persons are frightened and think this one of the deplorable
fruits of the wider freedom granted to women. | believe
that on the whole most Of the divorces of the present time
are altogether to be welcomed. They are almost always
in the interest Of oppressed women, giving them another
opportunity for a free, sweet, wholesome life.
There are cases where the divorce laws are abused, but
they are not nearly so many as frightened ministers in
many of our churches seem to imagine. These cases are
exploited in the papers until folk imagine society is ex-
tremely corrupt.

DIVORCE INCREASE IS WELCOME.
BY Rev. hinot j.. Savage.

Law does not make marriages. The church
does not make marriages. Men and women, If
they ever are married, marry themselves. All
the law can do is to recognize and try to conse-
crate a fact which already exists. If there is
no marriage, then 1t is Dissertation to keep up the
sham.
One Of the distinguished characteristics of
modern times Is the growth of divorce. Many

BY Andrew Carnegie.

Men do not own millions. 1t is the millions
that own the men. When you have education
this Is different. When you gain knowledge it
doesn't possess you, but you possess ii, and have
a treasure. No matter whether you die worth
or not, you have something that is denied
the man who Is immersed in the accumulation of
wealth. Stock gambling Is not a business; it is
a mere parasite on business. If | had a son |
