near Tupslo . week ago Sunday,
for which crime the wife and sew
enteen year son we're arrested Sat-
urday and placed In jail TO await
preliminary trail, brings forward
grounds for reflection on the char
acters on such crimes. From the
hour the man was missing, auspi-
.cious eyes were turned almost BY
the entire community toward the
wife. IL was the general belief
that il she had not herself commit
ted the awful deed, that she was
knowing to it, since her move
ments, to apparently assist in COW
ering up the evidences left we're not
to be overlooked. Instead oileaving
the house In the condition she
claimed TO have found it on return
ing home Monday morning, she
had scrubbed and washed up
around the place much more care
fully than the appearances about
the place In general indicated to
have been her custom. McCullum
was confirmed drunkard, spend
ing bis time and money on riotous
living about town, to the neglect
Of his family, left generally almost
in want. Though kind hearted,
honest and q man who endeavored
to keep his word when he prom
ised to pay q debt, it has been no
secret that for some time paet he
has been cross and abusive to his
wife. That when he would return
home full Of liquor be would often
precipitate q row Of no mean pro-
portions. Now that his body has
been found buried In q bungling
manner near his home, to which he
returned on Sunday night fully
tanked, and since no other clue
seems to be open to point to the
DerpetratOr OF the murder, the
wife is arrested on suspicion, as
is also her eldest son. The wife
may have committed the murder,
or she may have known it would
be committed, and many whisper,
"Who would blame herf" But to
believe for a minute that that sew.
enteen year old son coldbloodedly,
calmly and deliberately planned
and assisted in the murder Of his
father, the man from whose loins
he had come, is to assume a very
unnatural situation. Fair minded
thinking people, who think and
reason cannot imagine such q de-
pravity. No matter what the ia
ther may have been, no matter
how cruel, nor how dissipated, It
is not among the possibilities Of
the true instinct Of nature that the
son is guilty Of the awful crime
laid at his door, and it is to be
hoped that when placed on trial
such a situation cannot confront
this section. As suggested, it
may be different with the wife.
After having lived with drunken
husband for years, gave birth to
and cared for mis- children while
he'would be off carousing, little by
little, much Of her affection,
if she had ever possessed any for
him, may have been transformed
into hatred, and goaded on
beyond endurance she may even
have connived with others to put
him out OF the way. But all will
want to Danish the thought that
she had even tried to induce her
own son and son Of the man she
would destroy, to assist her in the
awful work. The thought is too
revolving.

We all wondered what Mrs. DuPage
could possibly keep in that little silver
casket of hers. don't you know. All
of us chaps were interested in the
little widow and anything that be-
longed to her. We we're interested in
the color of her eyes, and the length
of their lashes a goodish bit, don't you
know; and the size Of her shoes and
the fit of her stockings around the
We talked about all of these things.
Not that we could say anything about
them but to praise them. Her eyes
were the color of a bunch of violets

that. T%envoort's one of these prac-
teal buffers, don't you know. Some
of his bally poetry has been printed

was gone no end on Mrs. DuPage. AS

mistaken.
But we talked more about that sill
yer casket than anything else, be-
cause it was such a devilish odd
looking thing, don't you know. 1t had
four panels. One was decorated with
a heart that was split right up the
middle, another had something that
looked like a tin horn turned upside
down, the third had a monogram and
the fourth a motto: 'Memoria in Ae-
terna,' surrounded by a wreath oiGior-
get-me-nots. On the lid there WIS a
bally little cupid standing tiptoe on a
grinning skull and pointing up in the
air.
Well, wherever Mrs. DuPage was

around. 1t was generally in her
